I have been a landlord with Happy Lets for almost 3 years since I switched from another agency who could not keep me updated on my property without constant chasing at my end. It left me feeling uneasy that I had to be one step ahead of them to make sure there were no issues with my tenants or property. Now, I can't imagine another agent managing my property with the same level of client care as Happy Lets - they keep on top of everything, act promptly to maintenance issues, always update me when the legislation changes (yet again!), and I have no worries that my property is in safe hands. I can definitely say that of the various agents I have dealt with over the years, Happy Lets meet (and often exceed) my expectations and I would highly recommend them.

Very proportionate - it costs a lot when a tenant changes but that is the same everywhere and to be expected. The vetting process is thorough which is very important.

Services : Letting( As a Tenant )Date: 15th Oct 2018
Our "happy lets" experience was anything but "happy". It was, and continues to be, awful.
Before we could sign the lease, we had to take out contents insurance from a Happylets preferred insurer. This was an extra monthly cost to us, on top of the £550/month rent, and the £650 deposit already paid.
When you move in, they provide an inventory which is supposed to highlight every issue with the property (i.e. issues with cleanliness, faulty items, etc) - no surprise, this inventory misses out on a great deal of issues throughout the property. Happylets give you only 7 days to write to them with any changes you wish to make to the inventory - otherwise you forfeit the chance make changes to the inventory (which then costs you dearly when vacating the property -- see below). It is unrealistic to find every fault in a property within 7 days of moving in. As detailed below - we experienced a new issue with our property for every month of our 18-month tenancy.
During the tenancy - Happylets arrange a quarterly flat inspection - only to not turn up at all. We had 4 inspections during our tenancy and only on ONE of those occasions did the agent turn up on the date and time they said they would. We would call the office to ask where the agent is, and why they haven't turned up - only to be told that the agent is "very busy" and will need to rearrange an inspection for another day. This is incredibly unprofessional and inconvenient for the tenants who have waited in all day on the agent turning up to do the inspection (we didn't want agents in the flat when we weren't there).
The inventory does NOT get updated with each of these inspections. Our more recent inventories did not take into account a full new boiler being installed and the subsequent damage done to the boiler cupboard/shelves & carpet due to the previous faulty boiler leaking foul-smelling water (leading to mould and rot of the wooden shelves inside the cupboard). Surprise surprise, Happylets did not take this into account in their quarterly inspections/inventories.
We experienced a new issue for each month of our tenancy. The highlights of which include: the oven broke down and we reported this right away to happy lets. It took them 3 MONTHS (during which time they stated they were going back and forth with the landlord) to replace our oven. The other highlight? Our BOILER was faulty and leaking foul-smelling dirty water into the boiler cupboard in our BEDROOM. The boiler issue was reported in August 2017 and a new boiler was not fitted until FEBRUARY 2018. We were without a functioning boiler for 6-7 months during our 18-month tenancy. And of course, it was throughout the winter period - so we were freezing. Numerous other issues included - mouldy peeling wallpaper in the en-suite bathroom (no extractor fan & a WALLPAPERED bathroom?!) which we reported NUMEROUS times throughout our tenancy - nothing was ever done to repair this - but you BET that it was listed on our move-out report as a fault on the part of the tenant. Other issues - Happylets lied to us and said there was no building factor for the property we lived in (we wanted to make a complaint about the constant partying from our neighbours upstairs as police and community service officers didn't do much to intervene other than tell them to keep the music down, etc). There are many other issues too numerous to write here - but suffice to say we reported every issue as soon as we noticed it, and happy lets would appear to be very helpful in the first instance - before essentially ignoring the issue. We'd have to call/email many times to attempt to get things resolved - and even then - there were a number of outstanding issues when we vacated the flat as we finally decided to move out, having had enough of the poor service from Happylets, the numerous issues with the flat, and the constant partying from our neighbours upstairs.
We were incredibly dissatisfied with the way Happylets were handling the repairs/maintenance issues in our property. We emailed several times to ask for a face to face meeting with a Happy Lets agent - only to be told to submit our requests in writing and "then we can arrange a face to face meeting" - which, of course, was never made. Not once did we sit down with an agent from HappyLets despite making numerous requests to do so.
We have now moved out of the aforementioned property, and are now going through the disputes process with SafeDeposit Scotland as - even though my partner and I took 2 days off work to ensure we had cleaned the property properly - even hired a RugDoctor and went over the carpets - the landlord/agent wants to charge us nearly £240 to clean this ALREADY clean flat. 2 of us took 2 days off work to make sure it was cleaned to the "acceptable standard" that is stated in our tenancy agreement, and we are being ripped off again now. We are loathe to pay £240 from our security deposit of £650 to a landlord/agent when you consider the numerous, serious issues we had throughout our tenancy. Upon receiving the email to state that the landlord wanted to subtract £240 from our security deposit - we called Happy Lets to speak to an agent about our concerns. We were told that Happy Lets is "just a middle man" and that any concerns/issues we were experiencing would have to be resolved through safe deposit Scotland. Agent stated that he is "the man in the middle" and "his hands were tied" because we didn't want any subtractions from the security deposit, whilst the landlord wanted to make deductions. He advised us to deal with the issues through SafeDeposit Scotland. So we are now going through the adjudication process with them.
On moving out, we have found that when advertising the property - HappyLets have used the same old stock photos that are years old, before raising the rent to £590/month - win/win for them. Happylets will then send you the outcome of the final flat inspection after you have moved out and pin point all the dust & marks they found etc, giving you absolutely no time to remedy issues. As with other reviews I note, it is common practice that Happylets will most certainly falsely conclude that the property is in need of a 'professional cleaning' (a cleaning company no doubt associated to happylets, also in on the screw).
To conclude: we are both incredibly disappointed and UNHAPPY with the service from "Happy Lets" and would advise prospective tenants to avoid renting from this agency.

My happylets experience has been poor to say the least.
Firstly, just days before moving in I was asked to take out contents insurance from a Happylets preferred insurer. This is on top of the £1000 deposit paid.
On the day of moving in they will hand you an inventory which supposedly includes every bit of dust and mark on the property, and no surprise it misses loads. Happylets will require you go over the property tooth and nail within 7 days or forfeit the chance to add this to the inventory, costing you at the end of the tenancy as described later. This being totally unrealistic as you general keep finding little faults/stuff u to a month of living there.
During the tenancy happylets would organise quarterly flat inspections and not turn up, only then to arrange another home invading inspection and fail to turn up again, before quoting the rent agreement in their defence as if you have broken the agreement because you are questioning the inspections. This inventory does not get updated by the quarterly inspections and therefore in my occasion, did not take into account a full new boiler and ventilation installation, along with the damage caused by leak from apartment above.
Ending tenancy early, happylets will come across all helpful then bill you £300 to readvertise the property..... Then advertise it using the same stock photos as previous adverts years old, before advertising the property a whole £150 a month above what you are already paying, screwing you at another opportunity, win/win for them.
When allowing prospective tenants to view the property, Happylets will organise this and send you an email. Which in there mind means they can unlock and open the door and walk straight into the property without knocking or using the bell (albeit one occasion).
Moving out - final flat inspection, in my situation happylets asked me to vacate the property on the 8th of the month, however I was told to keep paying the property for a further week at a cost of another £200+ despite not being allowed in the property, in order so the landlord can carry out much needed maintenance and refreshing of the apartment.
Happylets will then send you the outcome of the final flat inspection after you have moved out and pin point all the dust & marks they found etc, giving you absolutely no time to remedy issues. As with other reviews I note, it is common practice that Happylets will most certainly falsely conclude that the property is in need of a 'professional cleaning' (a cleaning company no doubt associated to happylets, also in on the screw).
In my occasion , during the week I paid for after vacating the property the landlord had organized a total paint refresh of the property, new master bedroom carpet and bedroom flooring replacement needed caused by leak mentioned earlier from floor above.
Makes absolutely sense to hire professionals in to clean every inch of the place before these maintenance jobs start.
Post tenancy.
A week after moving out I have yet to receive the rent I paid in advance £1500+ or the £1000 deposit.
General conclusion is that Happylets look to make money out of you at any opportunity.
Be warned.

I was hesitant to switch agencies as it just seemed like a headache but all it took was one email and Happy Lets took care of the rest! I used to feel like I was managing my property myself despite paying someone else to do it and now I am paying less for an excellent service – best decision I have ever made!
