GoogleSuch an awful service we received using let’s rent. Had so many issues that was never resolved fully. Got messed around constantly promised call backs never happens. Barny was extremely rude and had the most awful customer service. The entire company I felt was a shambles and complete disaster to deal with. Made the entire process stressful when it never needed to be! Was left in a house with our daughter with no cooker for over a week and no heating for over another week. Several issues with the house with being promised repairs before moving in and nothing was sorted. Repair engineer was then left to deal with us as Let’s Rent “had no time” I took days of work to be around for people to come never showed no call back. Would never use them again and have warned so many people of them.....

Dear Melissa
Thanks for your review, I value negative feedback as much as positive feedback as we can learn from it. I am a little surprised that you have waited 8 months since you vacated the property to leave a review, and that with the issues that you have mentioned you did not follow our complaints procedure or use the Property Redress Scheme, and not Google. It would also appear that during these 8 months the accuracy of the issues has become a little hazy, as I have checked our logs and there seems to be some exaggeration of what actually happened. I also cannot understand why if we are such a bad company that you recommended your friends to move in after you vacated the property? The only reason they did not was because the landlord requested the house back, and they were refunded all their fees for this. I am pretty sure I wouldn't recommend any of my friends to reside in a property managed by a company that is such a shambles and a disaster, as you have put it.
Firstly, your partner was so rude to me, Barney, and John on the phone that he had to be told that using that language is totally unprofessional. Furthermore, he was also told this by our contractor at the property. Calling people f****** c**** a number of times is not the way to go about any kind of business. You claim Barney was rude but at no time did he ever use language like this to either of you.
Secondly, you insisted that either you or one of my staff be there every time a contractor was to attend the property. When you were not present, it was not possible for a staff member to attend every time, and they could not give up several hours to stay at the house with the contractor as we are exceptionally busy. I myself accompanied a contractor there twice, but it is unreasonable to expect us to do this every time. This would have been the only time you were ever told that we were too busy.
When the cooker broke, our contractors attended but could not fix the problem, and rather than order new parts for an old oven, the landlord agreed to purchase a new oven for you, which was delivered four days later. Unfortunately, we could not get a new oven delivered, installed and the old appliance removed any quicker.
Regarding the heating, you were not left a week without heat. The engineer attended and bled the radiators, which was straightforward and is usually expected to be done by tenants.
There was no work promised to be done before you moved in. You were told the landlord was looking to do some work to the drive, which was her idea, and she was dealing with this. She unfortunately took ages to get round to this, as she was using her own workman, along with changing the fascias on the property. We were never involved in this aspect of dealing with the property, but due to your complaints we did get involved and eventually persuaded her to use our contractor, who attended and finished off the fascias.
Other work carried out on the property during your tenancy included a new shower and wall fixings, new toilet seat, new door handles to all doors, lights replaced in dining room, the above mentioned new oven and fascias, fully repaired garage door, repairs to bath taps and waste, plus many other smaller repairs. You also informed us that you were unable to use the shower as there was no pressure. When our contractor attended it was found to be due to a build up of dirt and limescale in the shower head, which should have been cleaned by yourselves. The landlord in this case paid for a new shower head, plus the contractors call out charge.
Once again, negative feedback can be worked with but only when it is accurate. I really wish you would have used the official complaints procedure rather than having both sides of this aired on Google.
Many Thanks

Poor communication throughout tenancy
Didn’t help with any of the the issues with the house and then deducted almost a thousand pounds from my deposit for issues which were of no fault or my own even after explaining and disputing the fact.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.
We always aim to maintain clear and consistent communication throughout a tenancy and to support tenants with any reported issues, so we’re sorry if you felt this was not reflected in your experience.
In relation to the deposit deduction, we would like to clarify that no deductions are made by us unilaterally. All proposed charges were fully supported by evidence and were either agreed by all parties or reviewed and approved by the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) through their independent adjudication process. Deductions can only be awarded where the DPS determines that they are fair, reasonable, and supported by the tenancy agreement and inventory documentation.
We appreciate that deposit outcomes can be frustrating, particularly when there is a dispute, but the final decision is made independently by the DPS, not by ourselves.
We take all feedback seriously and continually review our processes to improve communication and service standards. Should you wish to discuss this further, we would be happy to review the matter with you directly.
Kind regards,

GoogleWe were very happy with the service Barney and Lets Rent provided to purchase a property. There was problems with both sides solicitors throughout the whole process but I can say that Lets rent did everything they could to resolve the issues and helped me constantly chase up the solicitors. (Just a note the solicitors were not recommended by lets rent) I would 100% be contacting lets rent when it is time to sell or purchase another property. Even little things like meeting us on a Friday evening to let us look round the property for a second time was no trouble for them.
All in all very happy with the service, would highly recommend using lets rent to sell or purchase a property. Thanks again!
