I am a landlord and seekers have kept my rent money and kept my tenants deposit money. I have had to reimburse my tenant with their deposit because as a landlord it is ultimately my responsibility. This has been very costly. Seekers has now closed down due to similar acts. Gavin Mills has now set ... Read Full Review

Seekers are not registered anywhere. They claim to be in business since 1982. The truth is they have been owned by different people over the years and dissolved as a limited company in 2011.They are unaccountable and do not offer a very good service. They put their own interests of profit before ... Read Full Review

I am a Canadian who had just arrived in England with a pet dog. Without a rental history in England, and having a large dog (who is perfectly behaved) I was treated almost like vermin by some other agents. A couple made a feeble attempt at getting me a rental, but only Seekers kept an open mind, ... Read Full Review

A truly awful company to deal with! It was a nightmare to arrange a viewing of the property we wanted to see but we persevered and after eventually viewing it decided to make an offer.

I moved out on time. I had been renting the property for almost 10 years and every payment was on time. Anyway, Seekers knew that I was entitled to my deposit and the amount.

Been efficient. They could have followed up on calls. They could be letting me claim the i terest on my money rather than sitting on it themselves.

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.
