Rettie lettings avoid it like the plague, i wish i could give them -1 stars as the service was so poor. We thought they were the best and we were happy to pay stress free service, instead we had the property vacant months and lost quite a lot of money felt snubbed by so called “portfolio agents” ...

We letted two consecutive flats with Rettie over the past 6 years, both with Emma as our letting agent. We have nothing but stellar things to say about both Rettie and Emma! Both flats were fabulous, in great shape and looked after carefully by Rettie. Rettie was easy to work with and gave us ... Read Full Review

Were generally okay throught our renting period, however don't use this service if you aren't willing to fight tooth and nail for a fair share of your deposit back. As a flat we never expected to get 100% of the deposit back; however, they were adamant that they needed to charge us over ... Read Full Review

Rettie manage rental properties for me. The service they provide is terrible. My emails go unanswered, sometimes for weeks. If I don't chase them then nothing gets done. I'm paying for a full management service but it feels like I have to micro-mange them. There are plenty of other ... Read Full Review

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.
