Definatley the worst letting agents ivr ever had to deal with! Avoid at all costs! The only time you hear from them is when they use bullying tactics to get what they want. Only an automated system to call in emergencies which are not dealt with for weeks. The builders they do use are absolute cowboys (i guess this is gatekeeper trying to keep consistency with the service they provide). Their workers wrecked the house and made it un-liveable, reducing the poor landlord to tears! Landlords amd tennents best stay well clear in my opinion

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. I am obviously very disappointed by your comments. However, I do not feel that this is a fair reflection of the situation. We have tried to make contact with you to try to better understand the situation and I would very much appreciate the opportunity to look into this further for you. As a local business if we have made mistakes then we need to acknowledge them, learn from them and most importantly try put them right from our customers point of view. Could you, therefore, please either call me at the office or email me on Vanessa@gatekeeper.co.uk I would very much appreciate any time you can spare. Kind Regards - Vanessa, Director

Phil & Naomi sorted out my property Sale for me in the Aylesbury Branch. The central team also supported my transaction and the handover was seamless. I am selling off a few Buy-To-Let properties over the next few years and will certainly utilise their support again.

Horrible experience terrible company. Our fully furnished home which we let with gatekeeper was robbed of all our belongs by the exiting tenants. Gatekeeper didn't notify us of the situation for several days as they didn't do a sufficient inventory check . They said they always do inventory checks from memory and didn't notice till it was too late? When any responsibility for this was put on them we were threatened with the legal team and that we'd not retain the tenant's deposit. Awful company!

I am so pleased that Gatekeeper called me unexpectedly when a flat came available. I had been looking for ages for the right thing and this one was just right. I'm really looking forward to moving in. Thank you for thinking of me.

As a Landlord that lives abroad I rely on both the local sales team and the central office to be my eyes and ears keeping an eye on my investment. Everything runs smoothly a majority of the time and I can use my online account to look at things on my timezone and message the teams as required. I am back in the UK later this year and will look to catch up with the team and the property.

I have used gatekeeper for the last 8 years to find tenants for my rental property. I have found their service excellent and tenants have been found always within a couple weeks. I have recently switched to the fully managed service and so far again an excellent service.

We rented a house in Swindon through Gatekeeper. We have just bought our first home and we just wanted to say thanks because the team couldn't have been more helpful during a stressful time! They made sure we knew what we had to do throughout the whole process of checking out and while we were in the house (just over a year), we only had a couple of things that needed work and Gatekeeper got maintenance people out quickly to fix them for us. When they needed to come to the house for viewings, we always got a text and an email to let us know what was happening and when we had friends over they understood and rearranged viewings around us. We would definitely recommend them - we've rented through lots of agents in the Area and we both felt that Gatekeeper has the best service and has thought about what tenants need.

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.

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.

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.
