GoogleI have tried writing a review about a recent property me and my partner was privately rent but due to them being in the wrong they decide to delete my review numerous times and then edit it so only I can see this which is pretty unprofessional and not fair to the public. We should be able to write what ever we like if we have had a bad experience. We moved into this property March 2021, it was covered with damp by covering it with tin foil in the wardrobe and all the mould on the walls which clearly they just painted over it to hide what they have done. We had no heating since we moved in which is against the law to leave tenants with out heating, they never even tried to solve this problem or look after there tenants. My self emailed them numerous occasions which they just ignored us completely and tried to even up our rent considering we had no heating working and then our hot water had gone which again they never tried to solve the issue as high gate homes got somebody round to have a look but we never heard from nobody since. This affected mine and my partners health and mental health due to the circumstances we was living in. When we ended our tenancy due to nobody fixing our repairs they then tried to claim back on our deposit for the β mould β repair to paint over it which wasnβt our faults due to having no heating working. We are appalled in what they have done and do not deserve to get away with this.

We are sorry that you felt the need to post this negative review Rebecca, Let me assure you that we cant and wouldn't want to delete reviews, this is just not possible.
This is the second flat you have rented through our agency which would suggest that that you were happy enough with our service.
There was a problem with the heating system which both ourselves and the landlord tried to rectify but unfortunately you would not give us access to the flat to fix this problem.
When we suggested giving the engineer a key so he could fix this while you were at work you came up with the story about the key being snapped in the lock.
We made many attempts to fix this problem but we were thwarted each time by your "lack of availability"
When you left the hallway was covered in mould which may explain why you wouldn't give us access. We agreed to release your deposit in full due to the heating issue but were within our rights to withhold some to rectify this problem.

GoogleI used Highgate homes in plungington. All the team there was amazing. They were really helpful and polite even when I rang them 5 times a day. Laura who did all the viewing in my house worked so hard to sell my house. Even after 5 viewing in one day she still was smiling and happy. I canβt speak highly enough about all the Highgate home team in plungington. They are all amazing. Big thank you to them all again for a great job.

GoogleShaun at Highgate homes is great.He listens,hes friendly and helpful not to mention genuine.From a buyers perspective,often (especially in the current market) some larger estate agents can really make you feel like they just want your money but Highgate doesnt.If I had a house to sell I would definitely sell it through Highgate.They arent one of the bigger estate agents out there but thats what makes their service and product friendly and more tailored to you the client as a buyer or a seller.They listen and when they say they will get in touch,they do!Cannot recommend enough!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleThe best estate agent weβve ever dealt with (for the sale of my daughterβs property). Compared to the last estate agent we used , this one was far, far better. Extremely responsive, ie we got a response almost immediately from any queries. They went above and beyond for my daughter and I and helped with things they didnβt have to do, ie putting the bins out, turning off the gas and electricity, etc. I found it hard to go back to the house where we lived as a family (and especially since my husband passed away ) and they ensured that any visits were minimal. Definitely recommend. Thanks so much.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleWould like to thank declan and shaun at highgate homes, both was very professional and very helpful, they got everything moving quickly to have me moved into my new home in the time I had, would definitely recommend to anyone, very pleased with everything and was always kept up-to-date with emails and phone call. When I moved out I spoken to shaun and he was more than helpful and gave me good advise, I moved out over the new year period and that was no bother for the team at highgate, shaun always spoke to me with such polite manner, such a great guy and will go above and beyond to help in anyway possible, never had any problems with highgate, throughout my tenancy with them there were very professional and got things sorted straight away even with short notice. If anyone is looking at renting in the preston area these are the guy you want to be looking at renting through you would have no trouble at all very professional through out everything proper great team, if I ever move back to the preston area you'll be the first people I contact, wish you all the best and thankyou to shaun and the teamPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleUnprofessional venue. My partner had a flat agreed with them, took her passport and all her details. She even asked for an early leave from work to go and pay the pertinent deposit - before she got there, she was sent a text telling her another person had payed the deposit for her flat already. No sincere apologies were given and refused to give her back all her details... with the risks it implicates in terms of privacy. I wouldnβt trust this as a recommended business for anyone - lack of empathy and good manners.

GoogleSelling through Highgate Homes has been an absolute breeze. I was originally listed with a different estate agent and after a lot of hassle from them and a recommendation from a friend I switched to Highgate Homes. Iβm so glad I did, the difference in service is incomparable! I didnβt have to worry at all it was such a weight off my shoulders, they kept in constant communication with great and honest feedback from all viewings. It sold so much quicker than I could have hoped and I couldnβt recommend higher! Amazing value for money. Thank you :)

GoogleI would like to say I am settled in my new home thanks to the professional and efficient service from Claire. I gave notice on a property from a previous agency at the end of November and had to have another property by Christmas Eve. It was a stressful time but made a lot easier with Claireβ s help. A few days after moving in I had a radiator leak and they had an engineer out within the hour. I would highly recommend Highgate homes.

Without a doubt they went above and beyond to help and reassure me when a few quite awkward problems occurred regarding the sale of my property and this was done in an extremely professional, friendly and pleasant manner.
