As a first-time renter, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The Haslams team was amazing, especially Keira, Lauren, and Ollie! They made everything super easy and straightforward. Can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend!

Dragging out returning deposit
I checked out of a Haslams property on 30/11/24 and I’m still unable to get my deposit back. There was a short delay when I had to recall the cleaners and move 2 pieces of furniture. However, this was all sorted by 11/12/24. In January, after having no correspondence from Haslams, I raised a TDS dispute to get my deposit back. They have even re-let the property and are still dragging on giving me my deposit back even after I have agreed the amount to be returned. I simply cannot believe this letting agent is supposedly one of the best in Reading. Such awful service! They really do deserve an absolute 0 rating.

Never had a worse experience with any company. I was an excellent tenant for more than a year even staying after the rent was ncreased and as soon as I move out they completely forgot about me. It felt like my property manager literally wanted to steal me money. She completely ignored my emails and when I called she said she forgot about me. So it took more than a month to take my deposit back, and she made unreasonable detuctions. Also, she left on vacation without sending my deposit back without caring about the fact that I had to found another place and start work elsewhere. The best part was that she never mentioned £200 credit that I had and of course she wouldn't have sent that back to me. I would like to thank Shannon however that was really nice and sorted everything in one day! Stay away from this agency only causes issues, especially between landlord and tenant. There was a huge miscommunication between me and the landlord because haslams took so long to reply!
We are disappointed to hear your review and our Head of Property Management will be in touch to discuss your concerns shortly. - Haslams Estate Agents

I have spent a few month trying to find the right property for me and my wife and it hasn't been easy, started to get stressful but thanks to Michael Danelian efforts, communication, patience, helpfulness we managed to find the right place we have been looking for. He has been so helpful from start to finish and helped us every process. Couldn't have asked for anything more from him. Thank you very much for going the extra mile to ensure the wait was worth it.
Congratulations on your new place Sameer! Michael is an asset to the Haslams team and it's great to know that he has made your experience a positive one through communication, patience and providing you with knowledge throughout your journey. - Haslams Estate Agents

I was looking for a new home to stay in and decided to deal with Haslams. Compared to other agencies in Reading they truly are the best in so many aspects. For an agency to succeed they need strong communication and every time I gave Haslams a call they always picked up quickly. Amy Bentley was in charge of handling one of the apartments and I’ve actually dealt with her last year for another apartment. She is very professional and works quick, which is any managers dream. At the end, she helped me and my flatmate secure an apartment on this crazy market this year, which I’m sure makes her job a lot harder but she handled it very well. 👍🏻
This is amazing to hear Yazan! It's great to have Amy on board with us to make your renting journey a breeze. Congratulations on your new place. - Haslams Estate Agents

Moving to a new country can be really overwhelming. House hunting in a new country can be a very daunting task, especially, when you are new to the country. Michael from Haslams made it really easy for us to rent a house in Reading at the time. He patiently listened to our requirements and was available on hand for any trivial queries And was really patient with us right from day one to the point we got the keys to our apartment.
Thank you for your fantastic review. We understand how moving to a new country can be challenging, but it's great to know the Haslams group has made your experience a positive one. We appreciate the special mention of Michael and congratulations on your move! - Haslams Estate Agents

My Flatmate and I had trouble finding an apartment throughout the summer however we decided to visit Haslams. Michael Danelian was an excellent agent who not only helped us find an apartment but who ensured our experience at Haslams was excellent. Other agents and agencies were hard to deal with in regards to communication and other aspects however he constantly ensured to return our calls and make sure the process of moving in went as smoothly as possible. He helped us with all the issues we encountered and I couldn’t recommend another agent more.
Haslams always aims to provide our customers with the best service possible and solve any troubles you may face. We know that communication is key and are assured to know that Michael assisted you through this process. We wish you have a lovely time in your new apartment! - Haslams Estate Agents

Knowing how difficult property management at a large agency can be, we would be delighted to recommend, and say thanks to Sharon Tubbs at Haslams. Always there on the phone or email, quick, efficient responses and despite her workload, we felt that any issues were dealt with in a very personable way. We were sadly served notice, but Sharon helped us through the whole process and supported us after being let down by a cleaner. As we have moved out of the area, there will be a delay in getting her a present but, it’s on the way. Thank you so much Sharon, you’re a superstar Chris & Susie Redwood x
Thank you for your kind words about Sharon! We appreciate your recommendation and patience throughout the process. - Haslams Estate Agents

I have never had any experience like what Haslams Estates provides for tenants (renting for 10+ years)--They are somewhat of trend-setters in this area. As my tenancy agreement reached the end of the contract for this year, I was contacted with plenty of time in advance for options of renewal. While direct to know my intentions, Nicola Grant made feel like agreeing to another term was in mutual benefit to everyone, which it is, but rarely is it acknowledged or put so kindly into words. That is why I feel like with Haslams Estates, you're as much as a client as Landlords are, and their agents are always one step in front to make sure all parties are well informed and in control, and genuinely stress-free.
We are grateful for your loyalty to us over the past decade and we are delighted to hear about your experience over that time. We endeavour to make sure that all parties are benefitting at each stage of the tenancy journey so we are glad to hear that Nicola could provide this for you. We look forward to continue our service to yourself and we wish you the best in the forthcoming term - Haslams Estate Agents

I’ve had to quickly find a property to rent as an outcome of trouble with previous landlord. While searching for a place Haslams was the best agency - very prompt responses and always picked up the phone. When it came down to viewings Laura was absolutely amazing and cannot thank her enough for her professionalism, and dedication to helping us find the right property for us. She is an absolute star and it was an amazing pleasure for us to have her as our viewings agent !
We are sorry to here about your previous experience and we are glad to hear that Haslams could find you the right property! We know that Laura is always dedicated to find the best outcome for her customers and we all hope you enjoy your new place! - Haslams Estate Agents

I've had the pleasure of meeting with Ms. Laura Kirby for a viewing this afternoon. She has such a wonderful and joyous aura, and you can genuinely tell she adores her job. Not only was she empathetic to my struggles of not finding a place to settle down in, she was so incredibly knowledgeable and interactive. She has a wide variety of knowledge regarding different cultures' traditions and needs, as well as impeccable knowledge of the sites and buildings she's showing. Often estate agents and sales negotiators feel robotic and monotonous but not Ms. Kirby; her enthusiasm is infectious and willingness to learn about you in such a short period of time is truly heartwarming. I left the property very hopeful, which I promised myself I wouldn't do given the myriad of ways I've been disappointed, but that's just how delighted she makes you feel. It's safe to say that Ms. Laura Kirby is one to remember fondly.
We are grateful for your review Jo and are sad to hear of your earlier struggles. Laura is a highly valued member of our team here at Haslams. She is fully committed to helping her customers find what they are looking for, and her expert local knowledge of the local area and industry are some of the reasons she is so great at what she does - Haslams Estate Agents

Keira Smith helped me find a flat to rent very quickly and efficiently in a location very close to my work. Keira was very professional. Since moving in, Haslams have been very responsive in addressing issues with the flat.

Haslams has been my go to estate agency for the past 3 years now, where I was (still am) a tenant at two different developments in Reading. I have been in constant contact with Amy Bently for anything related to renting a flat, and maintenance. She has always been professional with accommodating me as a student, giving that some developments do not accept students as tenants. Amy is also very professional with time, and replies fast. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review Fatma! It's great to hear that over the past 3 years you've had a positive renting experience with us. We appreciate your kind words about Amy. - Haslams Estate Agents

My stay in Forbury view was very nice. It was clean place with high quality white good and furniture. I have received required help and replacement of Microwave, Vacuum cleaner. Property manager Daniel Macdonald was always there to help me with queries. His support to help with cleaning during to sudden change in plan is much appreciated. He has also helped with my letters which have posted after my movement. Thank you so much for your help. Highly appreciated.
