A huge thank you to Zach and Phoebe for all their help and hard work in securing my new tenancy so quickly. From start to finish, they were professional, supportive, and always available to answer any questions. Their communication was excellent throughout, and they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I really appreciated how helpful, friendly, and efficient they both were, and we couldn’t have asked for better service. Highly recommended!

We had an excellent experience with insight lettings agency and would recommend them any day. Zach and Phoebe were both amazing throughout the entire process. They were professional, friendly, and always willing to help. They guided us through the property viewing and made the referencing process smooth and stress-free, keeping us informed every step of the way.

GoogleI am very dissatisfied with insight as I feel they have cheated me, by getting me to sign a primary tenancy. But this means it's not ast, but a company let. Now they advising I service s21. They are definitely dodgy and this is something all landlords need to be aware of. They have 1 month notice yet landlord has 3 months but only if vacant. Very fishy and now to get my property back i have to serve notice s2. How are other landlords dealings with it.
Primary tenancy is
Contract Type: Not a standard Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) between owner and occupier.
Eviction: The agent handles evictions; the owner does not need to serve Section 8 or 21 notices.

We’re sorry to hear that you feel dissatisfied and appreciate you raising your concerns.
We always aim to ensure our agreements are clearly explained before signing, and we encourage all landlords to take time to fully review documentation or seek independent advice if needed.
In this case, the agreement entered into is a primary tenancy, which operates differently from a standard AST and includes specific terms around rent structure and termination.
We understand that market changes can sometimes lead to frustration, particularly around rent levels, and we are currently working with you to find a fair and practical solution that improves your position while avoiding disruption to the existing tenant.
We remain committed to resolving this matter constructively and are happy to continue discussions directly.

TrustpilotA great Company to deal with.
Despite the distance between Insight Lettings and our proposed rental property (around 75 miles) we were able to proceed quickly thanks to Zach and the staff of Insight Lettings. Zach guided us through the whole process very clearly and everything went smoothly. Highly recommended.

GoogleAfter trying to go through a couple of other different estate agents and finding the experience to be terrible, from the first phone call, Insight lettings have been absolutely amazing. A massive thank you to Louise McCauley who has been extremely helpful throughout this whole process. She made sure that we were kept updated and gave us a more personal experience rather than just being a number on a list. Insight lettings will be our recommendation to any body looking to move home!

GoogleI have had such a positive experience with Insight from the outset. The viewing and application process were so quick and easy and the turnaround on that was amazing, a shoutout to Louise for her incredible service. I was then dealing with Zach who has also been amazing throughout the full process. He was constantly keeping me in the loop as to where I was at with my move, informing me exactly what was happening at each stage and also very attentive despite a lengthy process which was no fault of their own. I would definitely recommend!

GoogleAs a landlord, I have found this agency to be most problematic, lots of errors in their accounts, maintenance money being chased up when already paid, high turnover of staff means the records/emails get lost, not doing full background checks on prospective tenants, ground rents unpaid, to the point that I received legal action, and thousands lost on rent arrears and property damage. They were also quite underhand in their new contracts, in which I was never offered the choice of having a non-primary contract, I was only issued a primary contract at the point of a tenant moving in. This means I cannot change agents, I am contractly bound to them by their new terms of business (separate to the contract) which technically treats the tenants as theirs, so if I wanted to change agents, I would have to evict a tenant to do so. This really is an unfair contract. They never offered the alternative to me and were underhand about this. Please be really careful dealing with this agency, I fully regret having anything to do with them.
Update - they are well aware of all these issues at the time of posting.

GoogleMe and my partner saw this house that insight lettings had up for let we jump at the chance to apply for it everything went smooth got the keys and moved in with knowing there was a few issues that needed sorting and been told that these would get fix this is where then things went down hill. 1) cleaning - so when we visited the property we was advised that the house would be cleaned and freshened up this was not the case (the property was vacant for 2 weeks before we signed anything) the property was in a state and we do have picture to prove this.
2) repairs - so we was advised when we took the property on that all the out standing repairs would be completed (8 months on this still has not been done)
3) reporting of faults- boiler packed in for a week to which I made multiple phone calls on this and filled out the report system to be advised that there was an issue and it took a week for someone to get back to me to which at this point I was out of pocket as we had to move out and live in a hotel because the house was cold and unliveable we had at the time a 11 mouth old baby and a child with health problems as well as my partner also having health issues. This was still not addressed. On the back of this I had to pay a 360 pound bill that was for 1 week which was not our bill again advised of this and just got told that this was nothing to do with them.
4) contractor - so he came out in April to have a look at what work needed to be done and completed. this again is something else that wasn't done and we wasn't updated about the next steps or if anything was mentioned regarding the things that needed fixing in the house. In addition to this, he advised that the property was unsafe to which he then advised that he would come back to the office and inform you of the amount of work that needed doing. The work that needs doing is around or just over the 40 thousand pound mark
5) mould - so I reported the mould in multiple rooms in the property to which my partner can get really ill from as she is allergic and has breathing problems and yet this still has not been addressed, and currently still living with the mould.
There is much more to add
Also you get issued with a property manager ( don't no why) because nothing gets done.
This has never ever been addressed and as letting agents you have the responsibility to make sure that the house is in a liveable status.
I will be looking for compensation from your self and the landlord. I have to speak to legal advice and have been told what I can and can't do so I will be taking matters further.
If there was an option for 0 stars that is what you would be recieving.

I particularly want to thank Phoebe who has gone above and beyond to get everything sorted. She has been an absolute credit to the company in ensuring I'm fully up to date with everything that's happening, consistently keeping in touch and providing so much reassurance and support in otherwise what would have been a much more stressful time for me.

GoogleAbsolutely abhorrent service, very friendly and responsive when getting your money off you but we've had numerous problems with our house and the only communication we have had this year is for our house inspection and to increase our rent ! Seeking complaints and legal procedures if necessary over the next few weeks.
Issues included
-got broken into November 2021. The only thing keeping our property secure currently is 2 2x4s across the back gate
-fence blew down in storm Arwen - not even heard about a contractor
-bathroom light blew up August 2021 due to water leakage, reported 3x. Was told on inspection Feb 2022 would be sorted. No contact since
-kitchen has had numerous leaks in ceiling and walls worsening over time(bathroom and kitchen in extension both clearly a bodge job). -- update 2024 X2 structural engineers came out and told us the extension was literally separating from the house.
-damp in hallway got told was treated when moved in. Surprise. It wasn't.
Just repeatedly get told "we're waiting on quotes from the contractor"
UPDATE JAN 2024:
Had to seek legal action to get our home fixed. Have now had 5 property management agents and apparently none of them keep notes because they all end up referring to notes from March 2023 inspection. Someone is finally coming to sort the damp tomorrow but the fact that the kitchen is literally separating fron the house still has had nothing done to it other than an offer to plaster the crack.
Honestly if the housing market wasn't so dire right now we'd have left forever ago.

GoogleI've been looked after by Insight since 2020. Alice Smith is our property manager and I really like her pro-active communication style and super-fast responsiveness. She is always very friendly and responds to my requests and e.mails the same day, often exceeding my expectations regarding how much information she provides.
My review is 4 stars as I've had some concerns over a couple of quotes from the maintenance contractors recently - it's a shame I can't review the different elements separately. Keep up the great work and thanks Alice for being so responsive and helpful.

GoogleI had a difficult situation with a tenancy which involved careful engagement / a high degree of empathy for both my situation (as a landlords) and for the tenants. We were both in a difficult situation with no clear way forward. Phil K handled this with tremendous expertise - he was pragmatic, empathetic, clear, transparent and kept the ball rolling through what could have degenerated into a damaging face off with everyone losing. We now have a situation that is acceptable to all parties. Phil is a superb professional and his years of experience shone through - we wouldnt be in this position without his calm, pragmatic common sense approach to a difficult situation
