The most incompetent, disorganised letting agent I've ever had to deal with. So many problems with Happy Lets but mostly their communication and urgency to do anything. We were broken into in 2018 and it took them a month to get us a new front door. ...

Having been your tenants for so long then you've seen the emails showing our dissatisfaction with Happy Lets. 'Secured the property' meaning you put a padlock on the door that was easily kicked in during the break in? A padlock which we had to secure as your contractor put on such poor, weak screws? I remember making multiple phone calls pleading to speed this up as we felt so unsafe and exposed. You might think thats' a reasonable time frame but we did not. Maybe next time consider your tena ...

Dear Kirangandhi, we are really disappointed to read your review and just wanted to clarify this again for you. At the start of your tenancy in 2018, you agreed to an inventory that stated that the property was professionally clean and there was no sign of mould. Furthermore, you were given 7 days to make any amendments to this. It was only when we attended routine inspections did we discover mould starting to form in areas in the property and you were given advice by email on how to combat ...

We are saddened and frustrated to see that you would prefer visiting various social media websites to leave inaccurate comments instead of trying to liaise with ourselves in resolving the matter. Looking through our records, an entry date of 23/08/2019 was agreed via email on 14/08/2019 and that was the date on which you took up occupancy. An inventory was set to you on 03/09/2019 and you had seven days to make amendments which you did and seemed happy with when you returned this on 05/09 ...
