I never leave review no matter how awful a service is mainly because I can’t be asked. But these are the worst people I have ever dealt with in my life. No matter how polite or understanding you are they speak to you like trash and treat you like you are not a human being. They have no respect for anyone that lives their houses, they charge you for thing that is not your fault. I got charge because they failed to send my deposit back. I really don’t understand why I was getting charged for something that has nothing to do with me. Honestly I felt like a piece of shit the way they treated me. When I have been nothing but polite and kind to them. Every email and phone call I spoke to them with respect even though I was doing all the chasing to get my deposit back. Which should never be the case. The house I stayed was on Franklin road. The person in charge is named Guy Wigginton and Simon. Simon was the one I initially spoke to on the phone, he was the one that spoke to me like trash. Honestly worst human ever. Guy is very polite when you are moving in but as soon as the contract is signed you can barely get a hold of him. And when you move out and try and get your money back they treat you like trash. After all the back and forth on emails and phone calls, i was told to come down to the office to pick up my check. i emailed the day before to male sure the check was ready, Guy replied me saying it is ready for me to pick up. i went down from another city the next day to pick it up and it turns out it wasn't ready. I went down to the office to pick up the check after they told me it was ready, He made me travel from another city knowing he needed more than one signature on the cheque. He never even once apologized when he saw me, just told me i would need to come back. I would honestly just avoid these people if you want peace of mind. They don’t care and I honestly don’t blame them. People will always be looking for accommodation especially with the current housing crisis so they know they can easily replace you. This same thing happened when I was trying to get my holding fee back they initially did not want to give that back when i initially moved in. I had to send emails upon emails to get it back. I am just glad all this is all over with because I honestly don’t have the energy. This is my first time renting and yeah I don’t see myself doing that again for along time. I am staying at my parents house till further notice loool. Would have given a zero star but the people i lived with were lovely.

3 Aug 2025I would agree wholeheartedly with this. We’ve had exactly the same experience. They don’t respond to emails or call back when they say they will. Simon Roberts can be rude on the phone which has made us really anxious about calling. My job is to deal with difficult clients, but there is no reasoning with this lot. The compassion and work ethic just isn’t there.

I know letting agents have a bad reputation in general, but this lot take poor customer service to a whole level. They lack basic work ethic and courtesy. They don’t reply to emails or call back when they say they will. It’s frustrating when you’re trying to sort out basic issues. Calling them ... Read Full Review
We end up doing all the work so not sure what we pay them for. Logging issues, following up, even tracking repairs — it all falls on ye. The property we moved into hadn’t been checked properly, and a lot was broken on day one. They ask us to report everything, but then don’t deal with it properly. Things get marked as “done” even when no one has been out to fix them. We have to keep pushing just to get simple things sorted.

From October 2019 to April of 2020, I rented a 1 BR room with R&W lettings in a shared home in Leeds. The company initially seemed professional, however over the course of my tenancy they provided terrible service, with minimal interaction, no responsibility for the properties maintenance,...

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.
