Homelets Brighton and Hove will extract as much money from you as possible. NOT NOT CAVE IN! if you're already signed and have handed in a deposit, fight them with your government protection scheme. They're bad, don't sign with them. They're not a big company so fight your rights, even to high court. They're not regulated as that's their choice until it becomes compulsory. I've read such bad reviews, all be it, too late. I WILL GET MY MONEY BACK! They will try anything to get your money, I think they work on commission and target vulnerable young people that have just left home. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS AGENCY. IF YOU'RE IN GET YOUR MONEY BACK, WHATEVER IT TAKES, IT'S LEGALLY YOURS!

I rented with Homelets during my second year of uni and it was absolute hell. Within the first 24 hours of moving in, the house had to be fumigated because of a flea infestation which Patrick (manager) refused to believe until I came to him with photographic evidence of my bites. The entire team ... Read Full Review

my son paid 8 months rent for a room he was unable to move into. because he signed a joint tenancy with several liability he was liable for 7 other tenants rent also. the stress and worry contributed to him leaving his degree course. he still has the debt.

They are rude and abnoxious, constantly patronising customers that have the smallest of problems that need fixing. Aswell as ignoring phone calls and emails when a serious problem is at hand. My house had no electricity for 2 weeks with major leaks that created a dangerous environment where fuses ... Read Full Review

I've unfortunately had the displeasure of working with this agency for 2 years, I understand student estate agents are going to attempt to take the piss but they really take it to a whole new level, so here's a brief list of what we've experienced with them. 1st year: Rooms were ...

Avoid at all costs. I have rented my property through Homelets for many years- seemingly not to have any issues with them. I requested an inspection visit this year to the property and was horrified. The condition of the place was appalling, maintenance work had not been carried out and damage to ... Read Full Review

My son and 3 of his friends have moved into what I would describe as a disgusting property. I am sure it breaches all kinds of regulations for health and safety. They have complained and requested remedial action but so far only a token attempt at fixing. The agent will not even return my phone ... Read Full Review

Appalling customer service. The house our kids were moving into was in a poor state with aspects breaching building regs and safety issues. This was promised to be resolved and kids couldn't move in for 2 weeks. Communication about completion of works was poor at best but usually non existent! ... Read Full Review

Repeatedly asked for a breakdown of why they retained a huge part of my sons deposit (now approaching 1 year!). They have consistently failed to provide a costed breakdown of the money withheld and I suspect they invented a figure on the spot on moving out day! In my opinion this is a firm which ...

Moved into the house with a broken thermostat which took them almost 3 weeks to fix, when all it needed was for them to take off the old one and put a new one on, something I myself could of done if I knew that was the problem.
