The agency can't cope with basic tasks and left us in the freezing cold with broken window handles in both bedrooms, blood stained mattress, broken shower, broken oven, broken sink and leakong toilet for ages. They refuse to give landlords contact details, will not tell us where to complain ... Read Full Review

I rented a property from Hitchen & Co in Hunslet for 6 months from September to February 2017. I found them to be very responsive and easy to deal with. The initial sign up and move in went smoothly and queries and questions were answered promptly. The end of lease handover also went without a ... Read Full Review

One word: SCAM. Hitchen and Co are in no way a legitimate letting agent. If you are thinking of doing business with them (if you have even harboured the thought for a second)... DO.NOT.DO.IT. I let with them for the last year and they were rude, incompetent from start to finish and charged absurd ... Read Full Review

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Using this complete joke of a company is my biggest regret and I am only giving them 1 star as I am not able to rate them any lower. I have never left a review for anything before but people really need to be made aware of this scam! I just wish I had seen these reviews ... Read Full Review
Extortionate and they are refusing to refund even though I have clear evidence that they are in the wrong. DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING!!!

After calling for an email address to send over a complaint to, I was told that I would not be given it as they do not accept complaints. I personally think that the manageress of the company is the rudest person I have ever had the displeasure of speaking with. I spoke to a young man named Elliott ... Read Full Review

I moved to a property let by Hitchen & Co quickly due to unforeseen circumstances, which did not give me chance to research the previous reviews. I only wish I had. On the day of the sign up, the agent failed to show. Their response was that I drive nearly 50 miles in rush hour traffic to ... Read Full Review

Never in my life have I left a review but my dealings with Hitchen and Co have left me so disgusted and angry that I feel compelled to spread the word in the hope that one day reviews like mine will put this disgraceful company out of business.

Hi Everyone, I rarely take the time to review companies but felt that, in this instance, it is in the public's interest. If you are a customer thinking of letting from this company you should seriously think again. From the start of my relationship I can honestly say its been the worst ... Read Full Review

Viewed a property with these people and asked about pets, the woman assured us that pets were allowed. Tenancy signing date, which was with the Landlady and we discovered that there were, in fact, no pets allowed and also that the Landlady & Landlord had issues with Hitchen & Co withholding ...

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Categorically the worst company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Disgusted doesn't come close. 13 weeks of waste water leaking into my rental property and after no real effort by them to meet their obligations to repair the leak a letter to the landlord ...

Fees for everything. Check the small print in the contract. They didn't want to send me mine in advance and expected me to sign it when I went to pick the keys up. Erm... No

I wish I had read the previous reviews here before agreeing to rent from this terrible company. The people who show you round properties were lovely and appeared professional, however this all changed once you become a tenant. As others have mentioned in order to raise any complaint you must use ... Read Full Review
Be professional and treat tenants as paying customers. Not be rude and bully tenants. Generally act like decent human beings.

I have never left a bad review for anything but Hitchen & Co have made this a first. I urge anyone considering renting one of their properties to immediately reconsider.

Problems since we moved in, had our appliances 'fixed' after waiting months for them to still not to work time and time again.

Hitchen & Co is the worst house agent in Leeds. We move into our apartment in bad condition. The house was dirty, dusty furnished with crap they found from junk yard.

Agent took 3 weeks to take a meter reading upon leaving the property. Service was generally appalling across the entire tenancy, regularly misled about repairs and visits to the building. To top it all off I received a torrent of abuse from one of the owners when I escalated this complaint. Falsely ... Read Full Review
Replied to complaints, not been rude, carried out repairs, take meter reading, not lose keys.... A lot
