This agency is horrific there flat leaked for months over a year & still not sorted. I have pictures the mould there flat caused is shocking. This is a HEALTH PROBLEM as Mould is a living organism. Which is extremely dangerous but WHITEGATE keep putting back to sort. I will be taking up this issue further as I'm sick of asking. Anyone who wants to see pictures or can help to lead me to best people to claim against this agency let me know please. Thanks

Highly unproffesional, they will try to find any reason to deduce from the deposit(In my case I was accused of being responsible for a pigeon nest on the balcony made after I had already left the property)

Your tenancy ended 3 weeks after you had left the property. You were responsible for the property until the end of the tenancy term, not the date you chose to leave.

One of the most unprofessional and poor valued letting agency in Coventry. They never attend tenants repair calls and solve the house issues. Be careful with them as try to deduct for enormous amount from deposit. I won’t recommend White gates letting agency anyone.NegativeProfessionalism

You have been charged rent up until the end of your notice period. You believe you should be charged rent up to the day that you surrendered keys. We act for the owner and are therefore obligated to charge rent for the correct period. During your nine month tenancy you raised 13 repair issues and there was an ongoing complication with the hot water tank, which eventually involved contacting the manufacturer. On each occasion contractors have been instructed and various works have been completed. Your statement regarding repairs is utterly false. During your tenancy the landlord spent £1015.80p on repairs. You did not clean the property, which was newly refurbished before you moved in and the landlord was dissatisfied with excessive wear to the decoration. A negotiated deposit deduction was agreed between you and the landlord and you have chosen to make at false statement within this review rather than invoke the formal deposit dispute resolution procedure available to you. This is an objective response to your assertions that you have chosen to publish online for all to see.

Karzan arranged a viewing for a flat and in the meantime we have received an application from another applicant who viewed the flat last week. That person has now paid a holding deposit. We gave him three days notice that we had to cancel the viewing and he became abusive, using disgusting language. As agents we do not reserve properties based on the fact that somebody has only arranged a viewing despite his expectations!! Furthermore, we will not engage with clients who use abusive language. Based on his infantile reaction/conduct, it looks like our client had a lucky escape! We have done nothing wrong at all and this is a good example as to why Google Reviews are often totally unreliable.

Went to view a property, received a call the following day asking if I'm interested in the property. I wasn't interested in that particular property but I was interested in viewing others... before I could tell him about my serious interest in other properties he cut the call off. I'd steer clear if I was you, they don't seem too interested in making the customer happy.

What Kay Dee fails to mention is his original call where my colleague patiently went through different properties with him and isolated the property that he eventually viewed. He also failed to mention the appointment itself where he described the conduct of the employee who showed him round as 'spot on'. I called Kay Dee and tried to explain that during the short call, my colleague could barely hear him and established that there were areas of his experience that were positive. However, Kay Dee was not interested in altering his comments. Kay Dee clearly enjoyed the power and he has no concept of how making such unreasonable reviews can affect business owners. He is typical of the type of keyboard warrior who can make anonymous and unfounded statements online without consequences. He sounded extremely surprised when I called him, having worked out that Kay Dee represented his initials. Hopefully, one day, Kay Dee will overcome his inadequacy and develop the kind of lateral thought processes that may enable him to consider consequences and more rounded judgement before slandering a business. Kay Dee is a serial reviewer and I hope that these comments make him more considered when he decides to make future public statements about small businesses. For the record there were not alternative property options available to him.

Really bad agency ever I had, avoid avoid this agency not well.

Why don't you try to be more helpful and explain what we did wrong, rather than posting vindictive reviews. I suspect you are linked to the last review and are maximising the effect. Well done!

Disgusting customer service. Don't expect a smooth customer journey when requesting your deposit back. Having had a 6 month tenancy and leaving the property EXACTLY how we received it. The final inspection report by David came back blaming me for damages to the property that were already there. A few below. •The woodwork and sockets require light cleaning where necessary. •Some lightbulbs have not been replaced. •Some re-plastering work appears to have taken place in the kitchen to the ceiling. •One of the glass panels is missing to the kitchen door. •There is a heat mark showing to the worktop to the left of the kitchen sink. •There is a damaged sun lounger which has been left in the shed. •However some of the other items that were described on the inventory (of no value) as stored in the shed, have to be removed.) Having had the kitchen roof fall inches away from my wife's head and damaging my kitchen utilities due to a dodgy patch on a previous leak I was also blamed for "plaster work" done to the roof as the landlord came to patch the roof as we only had 2 weeks left on the tenancy. Along with glass missing from the kitchen door and a heat mark which the builders had caused while working in the kitchen. Long story short a nice guy called Richard confirmed the fact that the glass was missing, the roof fell due to property neglect, the gardener didn't come therefore the garden was overgrown, I didn't have shed keys so I wasn't responsible for what was in there and the landlord confirmed the mark could have been from the builders and advised they need my final bills in order to refund the deposit. 2 months after leaving the property and still no refund of deposit in sight. And 2 weeks after sending David my final bills and proof of payments and I've not heard back from him since. Also still unsure if the sockets have been dusted yet as I'm sure that will be coming out of my deposit to. A real shame considering David has 30+years experience in the industry yet a young lad like Richard is a lot quicker to resolve any issues and give good suggestions. As I am a sufferer of severe anxiety the has not been a nice experience and would advise anyone to stay clear from this agency.NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value
