Honestly some of the most rude & condescending people I’ve ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I don’t know how they manage to hire the rudest people cos it’s more than just one person. Seriously if you have a chance to go with another agency DO IT! You will regret being stuck with these

Took over the last week of my tenancy from Easy Lettings, then charged me £80 for a window latch that was already broken when I moved in (and that was reported as broken!) £80 for a window latch, without providing proof of an invoice? Avoid this company at all costs. EDIT: Whitegates refunded the amount AFTER this review was left. I'd still steer clear of this company.

Useless. Every time I've asked for even the simplest of services they've never come through. I've used them for years, but not out of choice. Each time I've moved somewhere and Whitegates has been in charge I've known that the process would be arduous. I just...I can't count how many times they've let me down. Seriously, if you have a choice, go elsewhere; maybe you'll deal with competent people.

Our referencing is held with another company as stated to you on numerous occasions. When your referencing came back we gave you the opportunity to amend this direct with the referencing company. This was avoided as you needed to prove the companies house for employment. We did everything in which we could, unfortunately you were unable to get the property because of this and therefore have left a bad review. We are one of the leading agents and move many people into properties, unfortunately we were unable to move you in but wish you all the best for the future.

I've know Whitegates for over four years and they have never failed to deliver. Especially the general manager Tracey Nelson she has been very helpful and informative I will recommend Whitegates to anyone they have wonderful and amazing workers. 👏 They are the best agency ever …

Awful place. Avoid at all costs. Do not care about their tenants and are poor at sorting any repairs - even ones that are a heath and safety risk response: unfortunately at the time of any issues you are not bothered, only when you receive a review do you seem slightly interested

Horrible agents

Don't have much to say except renting with this company has been the worst experience of my life. From no repairs being done to Tracey Nelson being on a power trip she will speak to you in such a demeaning and disrespectful tone. The agency is full of bullies and because of them I'm leaving Huddersfield as a whole never in my life have I experienced such from a business. Read the Google reviews

The Huddersfield Whitegates team have been absolutely fantastic. They have been so helpful, nothing is a bother to them. I have really been made to feel like a highly valued customer. The attitude of all staff who have helped us has been so refreshing. I cannot recommend this team highly enough. Thank you so much for making us feel so supported throughout the sale process.

Having been a Tenant with Whitegates for over 10 years, I can safely say that they have been both professional and courteous at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending them and I am only leaving to look after a friend's flat.

Don't sign any contracts until you read this

Termination (Withdrawal Fees) are Unreasonable and disproportionate to actual loss incurred. Agents are rude and dismissive. Did not proactively market our property, then were rude about is wanting to leave.

I have used Whitegates up until recently to manage some properties. I wouldn't recommend them, they tend to deduct lots of unnecessary fees and use contractors which overcharge. There are other letting agents in the area which manage properties better and vet tenants better

Star · 6 March 2023

Agent replied

Dear Star, I am unsure who you are however feel free to email me directly chan.khangura@whitegates.co.uk . We are not the cheapest agent nor are we the most expensive however I would like to think we are the best. Contractor/material prices have increased considerably over the last few years but again we do hope to source the most competitive quotes. All our landlords are provided with a free eviction cover to avoid legal costs in case there are issues. I look forward to hearing from you, Regards

Disgusting agency, definitely not recommend, they leave you on read for days, really poor customer service, I’ve had leaks and mold in the house and they never fixed it, they threaten you if you are late 1 day with your rent.

Charge you 30 every 6 month to stay in property. Staff are condescending even though all they do is rent houses they're so far up their own backsides I'm sure they can see their tonsils. One of them being a middle aged woman who I found to be obnoxious and just plain rude. Avoid this company at all costs, you have been warned.

Int'l Students Be Aware>> Arrogant & Rude Customer Service Staff

Dear students, Please be careful before renting through Whitegates. Although they have some good properties, thanks to their Sales effort, some of their customer service employees are very much rude and arrogant as if the international students are the slum dwellers and we have to be pamper them for a piece of apartment or room... It's a gutted experience overall. Especially, there is an employee named Sharon, she's very rude and disrespectful to me, perhaps, because I am an international student. Only because of her behaviour, I have decided to move out of Huddersfield, and in the process of rented house from the Linley and Simpson estate agent (at least they are respectful to students coming from diverse background).Dear Whitegates you stay with your arrogance attitude while I wish to live with my dignity. Thank you.

Since I have moved to America I have relied on Whitegate’s Huddersfield to manage the letting of my house through to the sale of the property. I am very grateful for the excellent service I have received.
