I just wanted to say thank you to this agent for understanding our situation and getting us moved into a house within 24 hours. I spoke to two other agents that attitude stunk. Our house sale exchanged and completed with less than 12 hours notice.

Our Terms of Business for Landlords outline our responsibilities and fees. This document was discussed during our initial meeting with a landlord. The terms clearly outlines any potential fees that may have to be paid during the management of any property. The terms are extremely transparent enabling a landlord to read and understand them before making a decision on whether to use our services. We do not hide fees as this would be a clear breach of the letting agents code of practice as outlined ...

We only provide a Tenant Find Service for this property therefore do not manage the maintenance. We advised the tenants that we do not manage the property and that the landlord was responsible for organizing the repairs. We did speak to the landlord to support the tenant and attempt to speed up the repairs. I understand the tenants frustration nevertheless we are not to blame. ...

This is a company who do not value their customers at all. From the very beginning, a lowered rent price was negotiated with the tenants without consolidating with myself. When I addressed this issue, an apology and explanation was given, which I had accepted. Throughout ...

During the initial meeting with any landlord we always give our best possible valuation. In this case the valuer gave a price of between £495.00 - £525.00 pcm. The valuer also agreed with the landlord that we were able to use our own judgement during the course of the marketing to let the property quickly whilst achieving the best possible price. A tenant made an offer of £495.00 but more importantly wanted to move in within a week, minimising any void period for the landlord as usually tenan ...

The tenants reported a problem with a tap when they moved in. The landlord lived in Australia therefore we encountered a slight delay in getting authorisation. Within 3 weeks of the maintenance issued been reported it was repaired and tenant was informed at every stage. The tenant reported that a neighbour had knocked on their door to find out if they were intending to vacate as their landlord had put their property up for sale and they did not want to leave the village. The property is locat ...

Thank you for a great comment, Normally people are quick to be negative but to receive a comment like this is why we do our job! Just for feedback on our other avenues that led to the successful let of this property. It was located right next to a gym, so we went in and asked the receptionist if we could put the property details in the cafe. Within a day we got a lead from this and the property was let. Mark was pro active here so well done! ...

It is unfortunate that these tenants have felt the need to place a review suggesting such a negative image of our business. Although we seek constructive feedback from our landlords and tenants during every aspect of our services with the main aim of putting our clients first and exceeding expectations. However on this instance I am afraid to say this is not a true reflection of Lucas Grant Lettings in my opinion. If I am correct in identifying these tenants, this property is currently in arrear ...
