We do lettings only because it is what we are good at. Why use any other company who don't specialise in this area! Our only focus is to let your property and provide you and your tenant with a totally transparent, expert and quality service! It is what we are good at and what we have been doing since 1993.
Lettings has been one of the safest and best performing investments as well as combining the benefits of a monthly income with the potential for capital appreciation over a long period of time. Many of our landlords relationships with us are of a long term nature so that we can maximize their investment.
Our landlords, whether they are accidental landlords or commercial, all have a common desire to ensure that their most expensive asset is maintained to a high standard by professionals that they can rely on. With this in mind we have put together an experienced team and an unbeatable formula for letting properties. There are very few agents, whether corporate or individuals, that can compete with Harringtons.
We understand that choosing your letting agent is one of the most important decisions that you can make and will have an impact on the value of your asset or investment. You will need an agent that you can rely on to help you, that has expertise in the field, resources and an ethos to deliver a consistently high quality of service and, more than ever, full knowledge of the law.
The team we have assembled are some of the most qualified in the industry and fully committed to caring and providing comprehensive customer service. We are all fully trained and have exceptional knowledge of the market. You can always rely on our expertise, having been in the property market for many years and having many clients since we started in 1993.
We work very closely with our landlords and appreciate that they all have different requirements. Having taken pride in our independence, we can be flexible and work with you to ensure that you get the best possible rent as well as tenants for your property.
We hope that you will decide to trust us to look after your property and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with placing your investment in our staffs' hands.

We are sorry to hear this it is not often that a deposit return takes this long. The majority of deposits are returned within two weeks of the vacating date, but there can be delays dependent on the situation.
We are not sure who you mean by third party, perhaps the Deposit Protection Service? If it has not yet been resolved then we would more more than happy to discuss further however without knowing what property you are referring to we are limited to what we can advise. ...

Dear Zephyr,
Thank you for your review. We are unable to find any tenant under this name however we will try our best to respond accordingly.
Until a tenancy commences we are not permitted to hand out landlord details and therefore in the interim Harringtons act as the ‘middle man' and liaise between both parties accordingly. If we provided an intro service as opposed to a managed service on behalf of the landlord, then once the tenancy has commenced Harringtons would only then pass ...

Very high.
There is a breakdown on the website of what this covers but it is very generic and there are a lot of additional costs that I would have assumed were part of the ‚£200 per person fee.

Complaints Procedure
OUR COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE
Stage 1
In most cases we try to resolve your complaint immediately. Where it is possible to resolve your complaint within five working days, we will let you know what we can do by communicating with you by way of email or in writing. If it is not possible to resolve your complaint within five working days we will automatically escalate the complaint to stage 2.
If you are not happy with the way we have dealt with your complaint at Stage 1, you have ten working days to request that we progress the matter to stage 2 of our complaints procedure. You will need to tell us what you are unhappy about and why what we have done has not solved the problem. This request has to be in writing.
Stage 2
Once your complaint has progressed to stage 2, you will receive an acknowledgement within three working days of us receiving the complaint. We may contact you to make sure that we have all the facts so that we can fully investigate the problem.
A team leader will fully investigate your complaint and will reply to you within ten working days. If we are unable to complete this investigation within ten working days we will write to you and tell you why and set a final date for completing our investigation.
Stage 3
Once you have received a reply, if you feel that we have not dealt with your complaint satisfactorily, you need to tell us within ten working days. You will need to tell us why you remain dissatisfied and what further action you would like us to take. We will consider this information and escalate your complaint if appropriate.
A Branch Manager from Harringtons will then review your case. You will receive an acknowledgement within five working days of us receiving your complaint. A full reply will be sent to you within fifteen working days. If we are unable to complete this investigation within the fifteen working days we will write to you and tell you why and set a final date for completing our investigation.
Stage 4 – The Appeal
If you are unhappy with the way your complaint has been dealt with by the Branch Manager, you can ask for the complaint to be referred to Mark Harrington the owner of Harringtons Lettings. You should do this within ten working days of receiving the response from our Branch Manager. You will need to tell him why you remain dissatisfied and what further action you would like him to take. Your complaint will then be referred to Mark Harrington.
