I wish I had read their reviews before I bought my property!!! Undeniably the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Even before COVID, they were unconcerned, arrogant and often rude with any and all communications. During COVID I have been threatened with legal action ... Read Full Review

Think twice before buying or renting a property managed by this company. Other than cleaning and electrical services, the quality of sub-contractors hired appears to be irrelevant as does the cost passed on to residents. Resident owners spend hundreds of pounds annually for poor quality ... Read Full Review

The estate my house was in was managed by H&P. I paid every bill immediately (had a monthly direct debit which covered all but unusual costs). We then moved away and my solicitor gave them usual notice, but H&P are charging me £150 to go! Outrageous. Glad I won't be ... Read Full Review

4 Jun 2020This has happened to me too. It seems a ridiculously high charge, and one that was not in my initial contract. I have asked 3 times for a breakdown of costs and have been palmed off. Currently...

If I could give zero stars I would. They sent someone round 3 weeks into lock down to wipe our stair banister with a dirty cloth. After 3 weeks it's a bit late, never mind we did not give permission and it's not essential so they are breaking the law. They make up things, contract ... Read Full Review

VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Having dealt with H&P for a number of years if you have a choice I would strongly recommend that you go elsewhere. Their customer service and attitude is absolutely appalling. I recently had a drip coming through the ceiling in my flat, a small 5mm crack. ... Read Full Review

We are having leaks in our flat since last year. They keep sending people promising to fix the leak in the roof but the only thing they do is increasing the damage. Our ceiling is peeling off with chunks are falling around, are they waiting for the roof to collapse to do something? Very rude ... Read Full Review

Possibly the worst company I have ever dealt with. I am living in a new build in Dunbar, where they will be responsible as factor after completion of the site.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
