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 money is gone into their s*** pockets. You will learn a lesson for sure.

I completely understand your experience, the same thing happened to me as well. I was a tenant with Set To Let and had a very similar issue where they didn’t return my deposit or respond for weeks. Thankfully, I managed to recover my full deposit through the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) after filing a claim. They are extremely irresponsible when it comes to tenants’ rights, and communication is almost impossible once you move out. I’m also in the process of taking further action regarding how they treat tenants, because this kind of behaviour shouldn’t continue. If anyone else is going through the same, please don’t give up, raise a claim via DPS and make sure your deposit is protected. It really works and you will surely get your deposit back..

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


Comments on Agent Fees

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.

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.
