The worst experience I've ever had renting a property. The staff on the lettings side are rude, unprofessional liars. Repairs take months to complete. They entered the property without my permission then lied and said they'd not been round. They botched all jobs with incompetent untrained workers. They didn't clean it before I moved in then had the audacity to charge me for cleaning that wasn't done. They rip tenants off and fob landlords off and really don't care. Awful stressful experience, never again!!

After renting from Homebuyers of Pudsey for 2 years (having never missed her payments), my partner is now being lied to regarding the refund of her deposit. Being fobbed off by fabricated damages, in an effort to keep over £700. Repeated requests for evidence are ignored.

From start to finish my tenancy was a shambles. It began with administrative errors meaning I was getting harassed for late rent payments during the first month due to agents typing wrong date for rent payment on agreement. They later refused to show me the ...

Only accepted cash which was bizarre as the second agency I used for my next rental refused cash due to money laundering policies.

This sounds very similar to our experience even down to two photos of individual hairs which lead to us paying for a full kitchen cupboard clean!! We also had administration errors where they were sending personal details to an incorrect email and we did not even get an apology. And we also did not get a copy of our contract when we resigned so the above comment is redundant I think your review makes perfect sense. ...

After a decent service from Homebuyers during our tenancy, we had a very negative ending to our tenancy.
Homebuyers wanted to take approx 90% of our deposit, complaints included scuffs to the mail box and plug sockets, a ridiculous cleaning fee (£300 on a 2 bed terrace) despite ...

Would not recommend this agency to anyone. The staff are so rude- especially Julie in the lettings office. Constantly fobbed off by them, they promise to fix things but don't get them fixed, no sense of urgency from them other than to get your money. ...

Excellent Agent. They stood up for me against a tenant who was used to bullying his way through life and made sure I received what was fair from their deposit. Can't thank them enough xxx...

We had a similar experience at the end of our tenancy. We lost all our deposit after taking great care of our rented house, we may as well have trashed the place, we'd be no worse off.
Extortionate cleaning charges despite us spending hours cleaning and charges for general wear and tear, as in scuffs to the mailbox and plug sockets, on a very old house.
We were also charged for marks caused by their own workmen.
They have to be the most pedantic and unfair agency I've encountered in 14 year ...

Do not use this agency to rent a property through. Should you have the unfortunate experience of doing so make sure you aren't fobbed off by their poor inventory and take responsibility to photos of everything before and after (if they even let you attend ...

Do not touch this Agency in any format. Unprofessional, untrained, incompetent and discourteous.
Issues I had when dealing with them while they managed my property while I was abroad:
1) Failed to obtain a Gas certificate (legal requirement)
2) Failed to notice damage to property rear door ...

DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY!
Landlord wanted the house back due to "relationship break down" which was fair enough, but Homebuyers moved landlord back into our property BEFORE our tenancy was up and without any prior warning. Moved him in whilst we were at work ...

Any deductions made from a deposit would have been instructed by your landlord and supported by an inventory which you will have checked and signed prior to the commencement of the tenancy.
We do not conduct a "move in" with a landlord as no inventory would be required at that point. As such his statement is clearly false. We do not have control over any decision made by a landlord although we would never encourage them to enter a property prior to the tenancy end date. ...
No fees information available
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.
Complaints Procedure
No procedure available.
Extortionate cleaning charges despite us spending hours cleaning and charges for general wear and tear, as in scuffs to the mailbox and plug sockets, on a very old house.
We were also charged for marks caused by their own workmen.
They have to be the most pedantic and unfair agency I've encountered in 14 years of renting in Leeds.
An awful, stressful experience.
