Personally we think Whitegates are brilliant, they have made sure that we have had great service all the way, i.e. making sure reported jobs have been done even though we have a tough to get hold of Landlord, and we will definitely be using them when we look for new premises. The staff are... Read Full Review

Whitegates have been renting out my property for about 8 years. They are very good at communicating and making me aware of any property issues and arranging for the necessary repairs. I live in London so the service they provide is invaluable as I wouldn't be able to respond timely to any issues... Read Full Review
I feel the fee is very reasonable for the service they provide.

I have three houses in Halifax, let through Whitegates. The agency changed hands a couple of years ago after some difficult times, and recently the office has been much more on the ball. I did think about changing agent, but decided to stick with Whitegates. My properties are not in the best... Read Full Review
I'm happy with the commission rate, and think/hope that any fees charged to tenants are also reasonable.

Interesting that Whitegates no longer have a link to this website on their front page any more. For the second time, I have received a text message stating my rent is overdue the day AFTER it left my bank account! I complained the first time after receiving two texts from two different numbers... Read Full Review
As I said last time: they need to be professional in dealings with tenants and in my experience, aren\'t. They need to follow up on promises to deal with maintenance issues in a timely manner instead of leaving it for 6mths with no action. Meet their contractual obligations. It\'s really not rocket science.

The living room carpet in the flat fitted very badly and generally not in good condition. Whitegates staff agreed it needs replacing - I said I'd replace it and fit the carpet if they would negotiate a discount from the first month's rent. Paintwork throughout the whole flat needs redoing as... Read Full Review
Turn up to appointments at the time allotted instead of saying \"I\'m running late\". If I can turn up on time, so can they. Lack of punctuality once is acceptable. Twice is unprofessional. Return calls when they are promised!!! Not once has this been done so far! Don\'t leave the prospective tenant waiting from Friday to Tuesday afternoon with no news, only to tell them when they ring that you\'ve done half a job. Be more professional about paperwork and putting things in writing to protect the tenant. This isn\'t a one way process just for the benefit of Whitegates. Expedite the process when the prospective tenant is ready to move. Why does it need to take several days to make a phone call or send an email???? Be more communicative! It takes 30 seconds to call me and say what has or hasn\'t happened and I wouldn\'t be so bloody frustrated. Send an email. Again, seconds to do, but it shows professionalism and keeps the client happy. It\'s not rocket science or difficult. Please, please pull your fingers out and do the things you are supposed to do as a letting agent in the timescale suitable to the client. Without a significant and immediate change in the way this is currently being dealt with by Whitegates, I would be very reluctant to deal with the company again. I will NOT recommend them to anyone who asks for my opinion.

I had a vacant dilapidated property to sell. I asked three local agents to advise me. One never replied, one sent a cursory one line e-mail quoting a minimum commission. From Whitegates, I received sensible advice, no minimum commission, and a valuation higher than I had anticipated. In less... Read Full Review
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.
