Most awful Estate Agent, they are extremely unorganided and fail to communicate properly with their clients. Their pricings are ridiculous and blatantly scamming. Massive regrets making deals with this agency.

DO NOT RENT WITH PREMIER LETTINGS. These guys are just the worst.

Premier is complicit in discrimination! This agency refuses to commit to fair lettings standards as they will not sign ACORN’s No DSS Discrimination Pledge.

In a 6-bed house, we had the worst wifi signal, which they never changed, even though we asked in several occasions. Whenever there was an available room and they had viewings, they never informed us. They didn’t do it during lockdown, either, with the risks that entails. One of the ... Read Full Review

We also told Premier about all the broken things and some of our deposit was deducted to pay for repairs. This ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

How can you charge fees for cleaning and not clean? How can you keep a deposit to fix broken items,a nd not fix them? How can you charge for admin and not do any admin? How can you charge to 'check' the house when it's part of the job of an agent and you're charging the landlord a fee? The fees were extortionate.

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.

Complaints Procedure

Premier Complaints Procedure In the first instance, if you are unable to resolve the issue informally, you should write to the member of staff who dealt with you, or their manager, so that he or she has a chance to put things right. In your letter you should set out the details of your complaint, the consequences for you as a result, and the remedy you are seeking. You can expect your complaint to be acknowledged within 10 working days of receipt. You should get a response and an explanation within 20 working days. If you are unsure which member of Premier staff to write to, your complaint should be sent to the Manager, Mrs Nicola Hieatt at Premier, 207 Cowley Road, Oxford OX4 1XF. If you are not satisfied with the initial response to the complaint then you can write to the owners of the business, Mrs Jan Bartlett and Mr Charles Bartlett and ask for your complaint and the response to be reviewed. You can expect Mrs Bartlett or Mr Bartlett to acknowledge your request within 10 working days of receipt and a response within 20 working days. Premier Lettings’ aim is to resolve all matters as quickly as possible. However, inevitably some issues will be more complex and therefore may require longer to be fully investigated. Consequently timescales given for handling and responding to complaints are indicative. If a matter requires more detailed investigation, you will receive and interim response describing what is being done to deal with the matter, and when a full reply can be expected and from whom. If you are not happy with the outcome The Property Ombudsmen may be able to help. This is an independent dispute resolution service. For more information, visit www.tpos.co.uk
