Please avoid this agent as a tenant at all costs. We had the same experience as another reviewer on this site in that they booked the checkout day later than needed so as to get an extra day's rent from us, we only realised this when they sent us the bill. Their recommended cleaners charge exorbitant fees, we paid £275 for a small two bedroom flat. An investigation into their insistence that you use their cleaners may reveal some dodgy practices. The admin fees are also exorbitant and the threats of a £190 charge if you don't complete a special check out form are outrageous. They want to charge a contract call out fee for a light bulb that is not working. They will try everything to ensure that you get as little of your deposit back as possible. If I could give minus marks I would. If you are a tenant I would seriously avoid letting a property managed by this heartless, unreasonable and money grabbing company!

I rented a property in St Albans through Hamptons. The property suffers from system damp issues and Hamptons colluded with the landlord by covering up the damp and mould. They did this before I rented thr property and also have just done it again to the next poor tenants. It is Hamptons'... Read Full Review
