After paying the agency fees that is where the pleasant experiences with the company ends. They fail to maintain the property despite months of waiting and continual reminders. They fail to meet legal standards for the properties.
Fees are pretty high especially with a card charge on them.

My experience with Set To Let was extremely disappointing. I vacated the property at 18 Mill Hill Lane, Leicester in August 2025 and despite following all procedures, my deposit was not returned by the agent, Neil Bharakhda. Repeated followups went unanswered, and there was no accountability or... Read Full Review
I paid the full rent for August 2025 even though I vacated on 16th August, and a new tenant moved in on 18th August. The agent assured me that I’d be refunded for the unused three weeks but later refused. This means they effectively took rent from two tenants for the same period, which feels very unfair.

0 stars. It seems the *real* reviews are correct. This is by far the worst agency I have worked with. Unprofessional, SO aggressive and incompetent. The contractors they use are of low competency and to be honest are loud and terrible singers who seem to be around a lot disrupting things despite... Read Full Review

You folks are literally Cheaters. If anyone does go with this agent, your hard-earned money is gone. I request every landlord and tenant not to go with this fraud SetToLet Estate Agents. When they take a deposit they don't even tell you it is non-refundable, Once you transfer, your... Read Full Review

I've recently rented a flat through Set To Let and worked with Venita who not only showed us round the flat to start with, but followed us through the whole process to secure the flat within our chosen budget. She has been kind, friendly, and extremely helpful, answering my numerous queries... Read Full Review

This has been my (and obviously many others) worst experience in letting any type of accommodation. The main person - Neil - is extremely unprofessional, rude and will not care about any of your complaints or questions as long as rent is paid. And if it wouldn’t be paid they probably...

First of all, we would like to express our gratitude to SET TO LET having been supporting to us. When we were going to leave my flat, Neil told us what we had to do, and his advice was very helpful. We cleaned our flat thoroughly before leaving, so all our deposit was refunded 3 days after sending ... Read Full Review

We have started living in Leicester on April 2018. We are not good at English, but they are always kind and do act quickly. After our moving in, they have been supporting and cared about us.

We didn't get our deposit back even though our landlord instructed Neil to release our deposit. Our landlord agreed that we've let the property clean when we moved out. Moreover, Neil didn't answer to our landlord's phone calls, nor e-mails. Not to mention that ignored our... Read Full Review

Outstanding service from start to finish. As a landlord of multiple properties and having used various estate agents in the past, I can confirm that Neil at SetToLet is extremely professional in dealing with our requests. We have used the tenant finder service on 2 occasions now and each time Neil... Read Full Review
The tenant finder service fee is highly competitive and probably the most reasonable out of the other estate agents we have used in the past.

The worst agent and company.

Incredibly rude staff, not helpful, inappropriate and unprofessional comments. When we came to signing contracts: 1. Did not keep to set time. 2. Did not message to inform place to meet to sign the contract at, informed me I was at the wrong place when I had already arrived at their offices.... Read Full Review
Not deserved
