When we turned up early as they asked, they turned up on the nose of the viewing time, even though the office was across the street, this left us waiting in the rain with 6 others for them, the person who took us for the veiwing obviously hadn't told the current occupants that they were having views as the place was a complete riot! The flat was nice though, but again they asked us for the ridiculous -£100- holding fee of which if unsuccessful in getting back we would be charged - &poun...

AVOID AVOID AVOID!! First, they are still charging the illegal £100 reservation fee, which I never got back. The deposit always should have been sent to My Deposit within 30 days, and it was sent after 7 months and only because I asked the Trading Standards Officers to help me with the case. Things were broken since day one, and 12 months later were still broken even though I insisted on getting them fixed. They never turned up for the full inspection saying that they were busy that day. I...

Had the unfortunate need to deal with 1st Lets Cathcart this week to deal with minor water escape damage from flat above that should have taken all of 45 minutes of a painter's time. Without going into the long and boring details, due to Kendal's attitude I am now escalating this away from 1st Lets and towards a) the landlord's insurers and, b) 1st Lets Liability Insurers. Her aggressive tone from the outset of contact simply fanned the flames of dispute. If I was Donna or the director of the...

I have communicated with Roseanne and Elle from day 1 and they have been very sweet and interactive. Both are well informed and very clear about the policies of the letting agency and help you in understanding everything. They both are very quick to respond to any email/call regarding any issue. They always try to do their best when it comes to maintenance help too. I have had no issues with anything till date and all my concerns were well heard and acted upon. I am really impressed with the exp...

I was a tenant with this company for over 3 years and I have had no issues in dealing with them at all staff are always friendly and helpful and repairs are carried out on time with no issues. When I had moved out they inspected my property and had no issues and my deposit was returned to me straight away with no hassle I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a property to use 1st Lets as they are very professional and have a wide range of properties to choose from....

DO NOT USE. I was with 1st lets for a year and it was the worst decision of my life!! Repairs were not dealt with and after phoning on numerous occasions telling the agents about the increasing issue with damp on the walls, they told myself and my partner they were going to do nothing about it! It's harmful for your health but that's fine, they don't care. I never received my deposit back and am in the midst of a legal battle to get compensation for the damage to my belongings because of the dam...

I gave them two properties to rent out on my behalf. Well, what a mistake that was. Not only are they clueless but they have no respect for their customers or the properties they handle. Be very careful if you use them. I had items missing from the flat, other items were broken and the last tenant left owing the prepay meter £33 and believe it or not 1st Lets knew nothing about these issues. I have now involved Trading Standards and there be a court case soon. BEWARE !!...

I was recommended by a friend who has given properties to this company and had said they are happy with the service that they have received by using this company. When i contacted 1st Lets to arrange a valuation of what i can achieve for this property i was met with the manager who was very helpful and had given me very useful information and had a...

Avoid at all costs. We were with them for 18months, terribly slow to do anything whilst we were in the residence. Oven door/hot tap broken took an age to respond. The worst aspect is certainly the leaving of the property. Took us 3 months to get our deposit back, this involved us taking legal action before they would return any of our calls. Linda is always 'out for lunch' or 'on a call' so we never got to speak with her. They don't place your deposit in a safety deposit location like th...

Many excuses given then the landlord was on holiday !! I had to make thousands of phone calls, the customer service so awful the girls working there were so rude and unprofessional. The flat was infested with bed bugs which took them weeks to treat. When i advised i was moving out gave them the correct notice period, ...

Better customer service, they should not come into the property without the tenants permission. Keep a close eye on the tenant so they don't get a chance to steal. Learn what customer service is.

My partner and I moved into a flat in Kingston Street 5 months ago now. The flat is managed by 1st Lets so much that to this point we still don't know the identity of our landlord. 1st Lets do not play by the rules: to let the tenant know who their landlord is, is a legal requirement. The landlord should be registered with the city council and it should be easy to find by searching the flat you are living in, our landlord wasn't registered. Once we informed the city council of this, a name appea...

Time and time againthey tell me they have processed my bank transfer yet I have received nothing (despite clarifying my bank details twice). They refuse to explain where my money is and why there are difficulties, and will not tell me which deposit protection scheme they are using (I suspect none). During my tenancy I incurred issues with my washing machine and boiler that were not attended to in a timely manner, and the re...

Absolutely appalling service. When I took possession of the flat I realised that it had not been cleaned and half of the previous tenants belongings were still there, including kitchen utensils caked in grease. After clearing a lot of it out myself, there were some items remaining that were too large to go in domestic bins so asked them to send someone to collect it. Having been told someone would come I waited and no one showed up. Eventually the next week it was removed. After a few mon...

Worst company I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with, wouldn\'t recommend this to my worst enemy. First issue which made me regret every using this company was during winter, we had a new born baby and the heating went off, it took them 2 days to fix this issue. The response from the company was unacceptable nor did I receive any compensation for having to buy heaters. The staff are forgetful and unhelpful, the management just collect the money and don\'t take responsibility of their b...
