Poor tradesmen, sloppy work, lots of costly mistakes and an aggressive, childish and unhelpful attitude from the staff. Avoid like the plague!

Hi Rocco and Emma
Many thanks for your review of Mint Homes following the end of your tenancy.
Cleaning
We are sorry you feel disappointed regarding a deposit deduction for cleaning, however, the oven was brand new in November 2018 so was less than a year old when you moved into the property and was clean at the start of your tenancy, plus some extra cleaning was required elsewhere, as you will see from your check in and check out report and photographs.
Parking
The property ha ...

If there is a zero star, I would give mint homes. The most dishonest andd unworthy agents I've seen. Liars. Don't even bother using them they are no good. I tried to use them but I later discovered that they were up to no good. ...

Dear Hazel, I understand your plight. The way you've replied me has been polite. I must admit but you see, I wasn't dealing with you so you won't understand.
I have been sent an email but your company saying you wouldn't do business with me which is fine.
However , I understand that you that you are being thorough but why don't you say that rather than reply me either at thee close of business hours or towards the close of business hours? You can check the emails your colleagues sent to ...

However, it is always our aim to provide the kind of service we would like to be given ourselves, regardless of costs, so we are really pleased to hear that we provided this for you. ...

MINT HOMES ARE THIEVES.
No problems with them until the end of tenancy.
They charged us for things that were already broken or in the same state that they were in before we moved into the property.
We are gutted with ourselves because we trusted ...

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry to hear you were not happy with the service provided by Mint Homes at the end of your tenancy.
However, Mint Homes will only make a deposit deduction if there is an anomaly to the initial signed inventory. Our tenancy agreement also advises how the garden and interior of the property and contents should be kept throughout the tenancy as well as left at the end.
To protect a deposit taken for an assured shorthold tenancy and help with any dis ...

Having used mint homes for the past number of years ..I'm afraid I can say nothing positive about them.
No customer care, no tolerance, no empathy for their tenants.
Landlords like them, tenants dont
