Met Millie from lighthouse property services for a viewing today. She was able to book me in last minute which was super appreciated. They also offered me virtual viewing as I live very far from the property I wanted to view. Not many letting agents do this. Super flexible and helpful. Thank you βΊοΈ

Using Lighthouse Property Services has been fantastic. Lee and Simon have been excellent - both knowledgeable and reliable. I am always promptly responded to and can trust that they have the situation confidently in hand. I would have no problem in recommending them to anyone (who I like).

Lighthouse Property Services and in particular Bradley Hollis have been nothing short of professional, understanding and courteous. I encountered an issue which needed both addressing and revoking. From my very first encounter with Bradley, I knew I was in safe hands and sure enough he was more than efficient in concluding the issue for me (& in my favour). I would highly recommend Bradley Hollis at Lighthouse Property Services for an exceptionally high quality of service and for his integrity.

I have used lighthouse property services to rent three houses during my time at university. This is due to the efficiency in which they deal with any problem that occurs. They are contactable through the office, telephone and email - so there is always someone to talk to if there are any problems in the property. There is also a choice on how you pay the rent. A direct debit can be set up each month or you can pay in lump sums, which is good for when student loans come in - a lot of companies do not do this, which makes them a good comany to rent through.

My experience with Lighthouse Properties has been very positive. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always pick up the phone and answer any problems or queries we may have. The property itself is lovely - in great condition and well furnished, and any problems around the house we have had, Lighthouse address them and attend to them quickly and efficiently. It is a shame that I have only discovered Lighthouse in my third and final year, and would definitely recommend them to anyone else who is looking to rent a student house in the future. Thank you :)

Have been with Lighthouse for around 6 years. Let my property through them, their terms of contract have been very reasonable and service exceptional. They very quickly found a tenant for me in the first place, the lady kept the house very well. Any small problems were handled very efficiently and reasonably by their in-house contractors, in fact I have not had to be involved in the management at any point in the last 6 years. Also prompt in communication, their manager Simon is a very suave and smart young man.

Great stuff Adam, I'll pass your comments on to Kamila!

Rented a student property with Lighthouse and it ended up being an unnecessarily stressful experience, that I would not recommend. Firstly, the house was dirty upon arrival, and bed completely broken and needing replacement- how was this allowed to happen and pass inspection?? Multiple other issues including the roof being unstable and told that it was at point of collapse, meaning the house should never of been rented out in the first place as was not safe to live in. Serious damp and water running down the living room walls took months to resolve after being reported, causing water to leak into electrical sockets. We had a no end of problems with our toilet, always being blocked and never really resolved. Found that reported problems were only solved after either seeking help from the student union, or by saying we will get the council involved. The staff are unprofessional and condescending, making you feel guilty and uncomfortable for reporting problems. Dan, however, who deals with the emergency and maintenance side is the only person we felt we could rely on and is amazing- thank you!NegativeQuality, Professionalism
Hi Gaby, Firstly thank you for your time in sending this email, I am also really sorry you have felt in the position to put something in writing to myself. Our properties are professionally cleaned before tenants take occupancy. The properties are then checked to ensure they are satisfactory before tenants take occupancy. If we receive a complaint in relation to cleanliness immediately upon arrival we make no hesitation in sending the cleaners back. I note that you were the first tenant to collect your keys, had you brought this to our attention at the time we would have instructed cleaners to return. In relation to the damp, we work very closely with the Student Union, their involvement had no impact on our dealing with the damp issue as the matter was as you point out already in progress. It is standard practice to seek the opinion of a professional contractor and not unreasonable for a landlord to seek more than one quotation or opinion on the matter. On the subject of the roof, Simon Sewell attended the property within 30 minutes of having been informed that there may be an issue with the chimney and as such the roofer was recommending taking the chimney down. In instruction to remedy the matter was given to the contractor immediately. You note that Lighthouse advised you temporarily move out of the property and you were subsequently placed in a hotel with the landlord covering the cost. It is worth noting both that this re-housing was not essential, instead we felt it would be best practice and in your interests and the interests of safety. It should also be noted that there is no legal obligation on a landlord to re-house their tenants under such circumstances yet despite this you were re-housed the very same day. Many companies being either unwilling or unable to respond this quickly. With regards to the damp around the light switch, again an electrician attended the same day that it was reported to ensure it was safe. Agents and landlords employ sub-contractors, the contractors do not work directly for the agent/landlord. It is therefore normal practice to work with a contractors pre-existing schedule, it is routine for larger building firms to work on more than one job at once. In connection with the toilet, I note you contacted the office during a period in which it was closed. As you indicate we operate an emergency call out service to cover periods when the office is closed, the vast majority of agents offer no such service. For context, it is not uncommon for tenants to be left to their own devices outside of βnormalβ working hours sometimes remedying issue themselves. As you point out the issue was resolved the following day, it is more than reasonable for an issue to be resolved the next working day however we were able to resolve the issue on a Sunday. I would also like to state that the issue was resolved within 24 hours. With regards to Peter Hillβs alleged condescension I believe that you had requested for Dan, a general handyman, to attend to fix a leaking tap when Peter had already instructed a registered plumber to attend and resolve the leak. I feel that Peterβs comments were taken out of context, he was trying to explain that we always look to send appropriately skilled tradesman specific to their field of expertise, i.e a plumber to a leak, an electrician to wiring to ensure the best attention is given to the fault. In conclusion, there are several aspects of our service (namely the re-housing and the emergency out of hours cover) that are not neither required by law nor provided as standard service. Whilst you have undoubted been extremely unfortunate with the maintenance issue that you endured during your stay and indeed incurred inconvenience and frustrations, the landlord met all of their repairing obligations with our staff going above and beyond and I feel the review itself is without foundation.

Had a brilliant year with lighthouse properties. Any rare issues were fixed swiftly, and everything was done with a high standard of communication. Everyone was professional and friendly throughout and we loved the house and will miss it lots.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us this great 5* review Lucy. Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

The staff were friendly whenever we dealt with them face to face but the property was in a pretty shoddy condition when we got there- marks on the floor, flimsy furniture and ugly decorations. We also had an issue with our WiFi for at least 2 months and had no WiFi at all for 2 weeks straight, when we complained they said that it was out of their hands and that WiFi was not technically included in our contract- despite being told it was during our initial viewing. Our utility room also had a leak whenever there was heavy rain and was never fixed. During an inspection the staff member inspected the house, gave us the copy of his inspection and left without asking us if we had any issues, despite the form having a section for tenants remarks. All in all the property was in a good location and we eventually had some of our issues dealt with (such as slugs in a downstairs room) but considering what we were paying and the lack of amenities such as a TV, working hoover and mop, there are better places to go in Lincoln for Student Accommodation.
Good morning, I am sorry if you were not happy in your experience with us. If you wish to share any further comments about your experience, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy.

After letting under Lighthouse for two years, my experience was both good and bad. The staff were friendly, welcoming, organised and mostly accommodating, and I had no issues whatsoever in the first year, up until the point of our house being burgled in the second. Whilst they obviously are not to blame for this happening nor can they prevent it, Lighthouse only provided care for one tenant, and not myself. In the weeks subsequent to the burglary, Lighthouse provided a bedroom lock for my other housemate, who was not living in the property and had minimal valuables stored in the room. However, when I queried why I was not having one fitted also, I was told it was due to the cost to the landlord (which the locksmith informed me was only around Β£10 and stated he would personally request them to fit me one due to myself feeling unsafe - this never happened). As a tenant who found the burglary and continued to live in the house 7 days a week with all my items, I was very shaken by the whole event and felt unfairly treated. For this reason I would not recommend Lighthouse. This aside, however, I commend them for never charging any damages to my deposit, and being accessible over two years.
Hi Hannah, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your comments. If you have not already contacted us formally regarding this matter, please e-mail us via review@countrywide.co.uk. should you wish to discuss further. Kind regards, Scott
