Dreadful service all round. Local agent poor but customer service at Colchester about as bad as it could be.
Have now given them notice. Liz Nelson - all your promises have come to nothing.
No communication, excessive quotations for works, incorrect inventory reviews, constant changing of contact names, no follow up on rent arrears. Very expensive.
I haven't got a good word to say about any of them apart from Shirley Gibb who seems to run the Weston office. Her manager, Morgan Wilson seems to be in constant meetings, on leave, or training. Yep well I agree, training is urgently required but over four years I see very little evidence of it doing any good whatsoever.
What really gets me though is their total inability to communicate. Constant chasing from ourselves and we live in Saudi Arabia! And quotes for repairs by their contractors. A rip off. Haarts seem unaware of what they are meant to be doing with quotations coming back to me that can be double what I eventually ended up paying when organised myself.

Good Morning Lokman, Many thanks for your comments and feedback of any kind is always welcome here at haart. However I would like to clarify a couple of points if I may. The property in Hawthorn Avenue that you offered on was an extremely popular property and was viewed by a large number of applicants, we received multiple competitive offers for the property and unfortunately your offer was not at an acceptable amount to my clients and an offer from an alternative party was accepted on t ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent could have returned my calls, as a legal team they should have the answers to legal questions not say I will have to come back to you which they never did. I would like to have dealt with one person but the turnover of staff seems to make this impossible ,as a managing agent your company do not manage

What agent could do to change your mind?
The maintenance team never phone you back or tell you to ring back tomorrow when you have water pouring through your ceiling. The whole company has communication issues, they dont speak to each other let alone to you. It would be good if they could stick to their word and give me my deposit back.

Absolutely agree with this.as soon as haart moved to Colchester in an obvious cost cutting excersize, the customer service has all but evaporated!someone needs to investigate the Colchester branch for,quite frankly,unacceptable customer service.you can't just ignore your tenants and landlords for months.I also,as a tenant,do not believe that you 'cant get hold of the landlord' - It's been 11 months,has he/she dissapeared? ...
