I have dealt with Dan & Ben in the Swindon Branch and then Lucy in the central office about my tenancy application. All of the team have been very helpful and have explained every step in simple to understand detail. I am very impressed with all parties and the service so far. Thanks

I recently rented a property with Gatekeeper and both the local team and central support team were very supportive. Answered all my questions quickly and in an informed manner. Called me the day after I moved in to check everything was all OK Cant be happier.

I have used Gatekeeper as a landlord for 5 years and could not recommend them enough. I receive regular feedback from the inspections of the property so I have peace of mind. Always responsive when contacting them with any query. Would use again and again.

As a Landlord of many years I have to say I have seen most things that agents claim to offer. Gatekeeper has stood firm against it commitments to me and also my tenants. My property gets looked after, I get regular updates without being 'hounded' by less relevant information. Things tick over very well. Cant ask for more as a Landlord Really

I have been a customer of Gatekeeper for many years now. Through my time I have sold a property and now I am Landlord. The dealings I have had with the team have been very efficient and detailed on all occasions. The online landlord account it very simple to use and makes it easy for me to see the financial elements of my account and doing Tax returns is very simple with that info.

I chose to rent my property out when I moved in with my Boyfriend. I have been exceptionally impressed by the service I have received from start to Finish. I would like to make a special mention to Ben and Lucy for all their hard work, effort and support. It is much appreciated. From marketing to inventory and utility switches it has been a smooth and painless exercise.

Myself and my husband decided to downsize now that all the kids have left home. We were pleasantly surprised by Gatekeepers positivity in what is reported as a poor housing market. Their valuation seemed very accurate with our expectation and we managed to get viewings and offers quickly after the house was available to view on-line on Rightmove etc. We rapidly accepted an offer we were happy with and got to work with finding our new home which happened within the following few weeks. Very impressed by all the advice and support.

The service and advice I have received has been excellent from start to finish. Mat was always available to answer my questions even at weekends. I was a bit worried about selling my mothers property but it has been very simple and easy. I would definitely recommend Gatekeeper. I could not be more happy with the service I've received.

As a tenant of Gatekeeper I have been very impressed by all the communication and support I have received. Dan was excellent at my viewings even helped me to measure up. Lucy was excellent when going through the application and the other team members supported me when I had questions on day of move in. Painless and professional. Thanks,

Thank very much for your reports and general service. It gives me reassurance knowing that my investment is in your capable hands as you look at the property like it is your own. As you know I haven’t ever rented any property in the past but it shows that those that are responsible to look after the property should it be needed. You are certainly doing a good job. I really appreciate your hard work.

As a first time tenant I am very impressed with the service I have received. The viewing I completed were simple to book and the communication was excellent (by text and email). The payments I had to make were well explained and that helped me and my partner budget for what had to be paid and when. I am very impressed and would certainly recommend.

The team did an excellent job. My partner wasn't quite sure of the first property they showed us. But they quickly took us to another property in which was great! Altogether, they are very friendly, helpful and did an excellent job. I would recommend any day. Thank you for your help. 😎

From the outset Gatekeeper have proven to be a very professional letting agent. The process from initial consultation to advertising, media, arranging viewings and the managing of contracts has been nothing but first class. Since my let began, interaction with my property manager has been an excellent experience. His in depth knowledge has afforded a quick, easy solution to most problems and ensured a stress free time for the tenant and I. I would highly recommend Gatekeeper to any one thinking of renting or letting a property. Fantastic service again by Phil and the gatekeeper team to re-let my property. Good communication throughout and regular updates gave me peace of mind with their handling of the entire process

Having been a customer of Gatekeeper for many years I am happy to give a review of my experiences. The sales team are very proactive and always work hard to find me the best quality tenants. The marketing is strong and I always get good updates on not only the market but what other properties in the Area are renting for etc. The Property Care Team and Property managers are excellent. They always make sure the property is looked after and always are quick to answer any questions I have or respond to enquiries I may raise. It gives me confidence to know that I am in good hands. Keep up the good work!

As a Landlord with more than one property it is important for me to get concise and clear communication about what is going on at my properties. I find all the Gatekeeper colleagues very informed and always available when I need them. Being able to look at my account online helps my accounting which is nice. When I decided to sell one of my properties to raise some funds so my O could help my daughter could buy her first home the sales team where equally as efficient and achieved the sales price needed fairly swiftly. All good service.

Me and my family were looking to buy a larger home as the current house we lived in was just being outgrown. We engaged Gatekeeper as they looked to be very strong in our market and the advice we received was excellent. Informed (honest), and simple to understand. The advertising was quick to get started and they conducted all the viewings which made our life easy. We got an offer which we decided to accept and have now put an offer in on our new hoke which has been accepted. It was all quite simple and hassle free which is a relief. Many Thanks.

As a former landlord I can highly recommend Gatekeeper, for many reasons. Importantly rental is their primary focus, not an add on to sales. Their quotes of rental com whilst not as high as other companies were actually better value when you take into account the whole package over a long-term rent. As a landlord I paid for full management, which unlike other providers is cheaper than part management, this is their quality control on repairs. The assumption being consistency in jobs as they use the same quality providers. I had a few jobs needed (front door wouldn't lock, toilet constantly flushing, oven stopped working) and each time they used the same system. If it's below a set amount you have a presigned waiver to go ahead without need for consultation (£100). Above that the team give you costed options, send out an engineer, replace the appliance there and then, combination if the two, and then 3 costed option for alternate appliances if appropriate. The level and speed if communication worked for, and I'm a stickler for good comms! I'm happy to report bpnone of the repairs needed to be revisited. If I were to be a landlord again I would definitely talk to Gatekeeper first, and have for all the reasons above been recommending them to potential renters also. Good luck.

We have dealt with the team at Gatekeeper for the last 2 years and in that period they have been nothing less than excellent. Whatever you're looking for, be it as a landlord, or a tenant, or a potential buyer I really cannot recommend them enough. Please give them a try.
