The idea is to make money overall. Or at least, reduce losses. They do pay you rent!

The only reason we rented it was because the person who had said they would buy the house backed out the day before exchange (just walked away, wasn't looking to do a deal).

If the original agent had the tenancy agreement and were then bought out, isn't it the responsibility of the new agent to get the agreement updated?

That said, writing on walls, stains and cobwebs are not wear and tear.

Wear and tear means things like carpet being worn a little bit more and wallpaper being a bit more tired. If you say a carpet had a life time of 10 years it means a suitable bit of the wear towards its lifespan. The deposit is for cleaning the carpet stasis, removing the writing on the walls and fusing the cobwebs. It's not for a new carpet or a full redecoration.

The problem is that it seems that the original agent didn't get a signed tenancy agreement from the tenants.

As for the carpet stains, I think some can be removed, others (downstairs loo) look more permanent but that's a much smaller area so that's less of a problem.

It's just a PITA!

You don't need one. There's a default contract in law in the absence of a written one. A detailed inventory of the property's condition prior to them moving in would be handy. Also if there was a contract but it wasn't signed, I think you can claim that continuing to live there without disputing it constitutes acceptance. Possibly a grey area.
