This agency are unorganised, unprofessional, and incompetent. The flat itself was damp, there were flies/maggots living behind the sink due to a lack of sealant/dampness (which was not a health hazard apparently..) and the dishwasher stopped draining and sat with mouldy, festering water in it for 5 weeks while the first lets team ignored/denied the issue. Particular shoutout goes to Kayleigh, the receptionist. She always made calling up to report genuine issues a pleasure with her awful manner and pathetic attitude towards customers. A horrific experience, from start to end. 0/10.

    Hello Chris, We are very sorry to hear about your bad experience with First Lets. We have equally been treated appallingly by them and are fighting back. We are collecting testomonies of tenants that have been badly treated and we've love to include yours. If you could provide a few details of your case, experience, and how you got treated to firstletsyoudown@gmail.com we would massively appreciate it. Hopefully together we can get some accountability!

    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.
