I was introduced to Heminstone as a landlord some 5 years ago. I have never had need to use anyone else because they have found me good calibre tenants without fuss or delay and take the hassle out of the whole process. The whole team have been involved but Kerry and Owen have overseen everything ... Read Full Review

Experience wasn't great from day one. After moving in and finding many discrepencies from their condition report, they failed to acknowledge any attempt to raise these concerns. Moving out was the same. Took nearly a month to receive my deposit back, and it took sending one-two emails per day ... Read Full Review

Nice people and not pushy, however way to 'generous' with admin fees. Robbed but couldn't do anything about it as this was made known to us 20 days before our years tenancy was over and only because we chased them. If we'd refuse, we'd be on the streets just after Christmas so hey ho, Heminstones, ... Read Full Review

Please please be careful when looking at properties let by Heminstone. After 20 years of renting they are the worst agent I have had to deal with.

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.
No procedure set.
