Rude, awful attitude and unprofessional. They were paid letting fees to place tenants into our property on a 12 month agreement. Clearly we expected them to carry out careful diligence in vetting appropriate tenants using previous landlord and employment references. Five months into the tenancy we had a failed rental payment. The tenants subsequently stated they would be vacating the property 6 months early due to employment difficulties and would be moving back into a family home. We faced months of a rent free period and a decent repair bill. However, the above is NOT the reason for this negative review. We clearly then decided not to use Whitegates when we decided to market the property for sale. We subsequently received a message from their agent who expressed his disappointment that we did not use his company for marketing the sale. His argument was we owed him some loyalty for the late evening calls for dealing with the problem tenants his company put into our property! When I volunteered the reasons (above) his words to me were 'nonsense'. I will let those reviewing this form their own opinion.

Dear Mr Siddique, Thank you for your review. As you are aware I have been fully involved throughout the whole process starting from your early sales and letting enquiries. I am surprised and extremely disappointed that you were unhappy with the level of service myself and my team provided. I have gone into your property details and spoke to my staff to build a clear picture. To clarify, I have counted over 50 (fifty) bits of correspondence and conversations via text, email and telephone calls with at least 4 members of staff a lot of them being in the evening and as late as 11.30pm. 4 separate visits were made to your property on your insistence. Both you and your partner were offered concise advice about our levels of service and what each one entailed. You opted for a Let Only service which is self-explanatory – once a tenant has been given the keys then the management of the property becomes the responsibility of the landlord, this was a cheaper option in comparison to the fully managed service that we offer. We use a fantastic referencing company who carry out reference checks on the potential tenants obtaining references from previous landlords and employment records. Your tenants were approved with flying colours. Circumstances for anyone can change in an instant be it due to loss of employment, separation or even a bereavement, therefore it is absolutely impossible to predict a tenant will last the duration of the tenancy and continue to make payments. You were also advised about the Infinity service that has a rent guarantee element within the package. Despite you opting to go for the Let Only service both myself and my staff continued to advise you during your difficulties with your tenant even though we weren’t obligated to so. If you would like to discuss this matter further, feel free to call into the office. Camran
