My experience with this particular lettings company has been overwhelmingly negative. Firstly, the property we moved into had numerous faults. All of which were immediately noted, photographed and videoed, and emailed to the property management company. After repeated emails over about 4 weeks, only two (of the 8 issues) were resolved. With no apology or explanation the delay or why we were ignored so long. We had by this point lost the will to have the remaining issues fixed as they were not drastically impacting our quality of life. Throughout the tenancy communication with the agents themselves has been difficult. Often having to email multiple times to have logged maintenance issues acknowledged, and the problems often must be repeated multiple times to the property managers, despite there being a clear email chain detailing problems and issues. The telephone line does not ever work, the line rings but despite ringing during their alleged opening hours I have never spoken to a person, being met with an automated voice telling me the agents are all busy, all of the time. I suspect this telephone line is not staffed, as I have rung many times to no success. I find the business themselves confusing. There is no website Heaton Properties, nor is there an office. When I collected the keys the property it was done through the City and Suburb lettings office on Heaton Road, which is the address listed Heaton Properties on this site. A google search suggested to me that “City and Suburb is the current trading name the business previously known as Heaton Properties”. Although there is minimal information online Heaton Properties, I struggled to find them on companies houses. I found myself locked out of my property recently, unable to contact the property management company by phone or email. It was an icy January day, and due to how I was locked out (taking the bins out through our back door, a gust of wind blew the gate shut and locked it, leaving me unable to reenter the property), I was not dressed appropriately being outside (in slippers and a fleece, not outdoor appropriate a freezing snowy day). Because of the lack of communication and my own anxiety I felt I had nowhere to go but the office in which I first got the keys from to hopefully be into my own flat. I arrived at the Heaton Road office and was quite bluntly dismissed, told I had to contact my property manager who would arrange an appointment with me later with a replacement key, that I should not have come to the office without an appointment. I was made to feel like a nuisance, and like I was visiting the wrong place, despite having nowhere to go in the freezing cold. I found their treatment of their tenants deplorable, lacking in clear communication and basic respect. I am aware that renting in the UK right now is a sad situation but to anyone considering renting with Heaton Properties (or even City and Suburb as they are apparently the same thing), I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere. At least use a property management company with a website and at least one good review.

Do not sign with these agents! I wish I could give a 0 star review. Heaton Property are the worst, most disorganised estate agent company I have ever come across. They do not have a working telephone number or website and will gaslight you when you bring this up to them. They are rude over email ... Read Full Review

Avoid this business like the plague. Formerly, or currently, known as heaton properties. Their staff are spiteful and incompetent to the point where a male member of staff on their phone straight up told me that he ‘doesn’t care’ that i was on hold all morning trying to get in touch with a member ...

Myself and my friends leased a property from these guys back in 2017/ 18, just reading the reviews, it's mad that they are still providing the same level of shocking service that they were back then! Some of our other friends had a similar experience back in 2017/ 18 too, so this is definitely not ... Read Full Review

If I could give 0 stars I would. Never deal with this company in any circumstance. Incredibly rude, dismissive and argumentative to any issue. Will take weeks to look at any maintenance issue, before giving you responses such as "have you tried fixing it yourself" When submitting applications, they ... Read Full Review

we always paid our rent in full and on time, and despite this had to raise multiple issues with the property while we were letting it, including faulty door trims, a broken toilet flush, and black spot mould in the bathroom (which was present from when we moved in, till we vacated).

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I initially had a very seamless tenancy, I was in a 2 bed house and my housemate had to move out - we were able to find a replacement tenant easily and this was fine. When I asked to do the same thing a few months later, Heaton Property made my life ... Read Full Review

I spent 12 months being gaslit over mould and damp. I had mould all around the windows in my room, my clothes and shoes were damaged and all they told me was to stop drying our clothes indoors in November, although we didn't have a washer/dryer until that broke and they had to install ...

I echo the previous reviews. For someone so tiny in stature the manager is so nasty. I remember the heating went off in the winter, and rather than apologise and make it a priority to sort, he simply said 'we have a little heater in office if you want that'. It was snowing and I was at ... Read Full Review

Me and my partner rented a Heaton property flat for a year and it was a complete nightmare from beginning to end. It was by far the worst renting experience we’ve both had.

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.
