As a landlord I have had the pleasure of dealing with Kerry Smart, at Heminstone. She is a very personable character who knows her craft extremely well, being both professional and totally competent. Finally I can relax and enjoy my rental income, knowing that my property - and it's fine ... Read Full Review

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

Tenant Fees

No tenant administration fees are payable. Security deposits are payable calculated at upto 5 weeks rent. Reservation deposit of one weeks rent is requested should you wish to proceed with the tenancy and is held as part of the final balance payment as it becomes due. Security Deposit Free Options may be available on some properties, which replaces the cash deposit option of upto 5 weeks rent. Where available, an insurance premium is payable, equivalent of upto 1 weeks rent, however, policy premiums may vary depending on specific and individual circumstances.

Last Updated On 18/06/2019, 10:26 AM by 0

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

No procedure set.
