As a landlord you should be over the moon with the length of tenancy, unless you want the flat back, I wish I could let mine for this long, one year tenancies inevitably have costly void periods inbetween tenants and the wear and tear on a flat - you should be besotted with them for getting this. Let's also not forget that it is highly unlikley for the council to stop paying rent!
The fact they did not register the deposit is pretty bad but I bet they have a massive pot of cash should it have gone wrong to just pay out on any damages should there have been.
Managment fees - drop the managment. 6%! it is just insurance for you, I bet you can turn it off, just like you could drop your house insurance
