My experience with Shefflets has been beyond disappointing. I honestly wouldn’t recommend them to anyone and I would strongly warn other potential tenants to read the following before renting through them. From the point it was my misfortune to pick up the keys and enter the property there were problems. To read their checkin document, you would think that the entire apartment was sparkling , without a speck of dust, with every single area and item listed as “Good condition and professionally cleaned”, quite literally without exception. The truth was a heavily stained toilet, severely damaged and filthy dirty fridge, clumps of animal hair, left refuse, marks on the wall, stained furnishings and two broken windows that would not remain in the closed position. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. All of these points were reported to Shefflets using their own document, and although they received this at the beginning of the tenancy, no action was taken any of the above, including the broken windows. After 3 months, the windows were eventually repaired – during this period, they even asked me to get in touch with their repair company because they simply could not be bothered. Then, after just 10 months, they attempted to raise the rent, claiming they were keeping in line with the market, even though there were other identical apartments in the same building, and in better condition, but with lower monthly rents (even before the rent rise). At this point, I submitted my notice to leave, but Shefflets clearly saw this as an opportunity to recoup any potential lost income between me moving out and any unfortunate tenant moving in. They therefore tried to charge various spurious claims, even though the overall apartment was left in a far far better condition than it was when I moved in. I have since sent a letter of complaint to Shefflets. Suffice to say they have not replied. They’re very good during the sales process, but as soon as you move in then they act like a completely different company. I would never ever consider renting a property through them again and I would caution anyone from renting through Shefflets. If you do rent with them, photograph absolutely everything when you move in – literally everything, as the photos they supply you at checkin will only make up approximately one third of the photos they then try to use against you when you move out, which can make it difficult to prove your point as the claim they're making against you will not have the same photographic evidence at checkin – which is clearly their aim.

I have been Shefflets tenant for 1 year and half. I am very disappointed with their service they mugged of with the deposit money. For 1 toilet roll, toilet brush, kitchen roll, fridge magnet and a little bit of mold in the corner of the kitchen they changed me 175£ to remove them. Sounds ... Read Full Review

Shefflets are probably the worst landlord/letting agent I have used in Sheffield. They keep part of your deposit, as others have mentioned, for a "dirty" property. This is despite me leaving the property in a cleaner state than when I moved in! Just typical, money ... Read Full Review

For a start there were hidden fees. It ended up being double what it should have been, and quadruple of what other properties with different lettings agents are. They also force a guarantor upon you for a fee when you earn more than them in the first place. The "professional ... Read Full Review
I can buy a car with the amount of money the fees were, and when I questioned them, I was threatened to sign a contract I have never seen since.
