I would not even give this agency 1 star if I had the choice. These are the worst letting agents in Hull and would not recommend them to anyone. I have dealt with numerous letting agents both personally and professionally over the years and found Link to be the worst so far. Their customer service skills leave a lot to be desired, the staff are rude, pretentious and treat tenants like dirt on their shoes and have no compassion to their tenants needs whatsoever. All this agency care about is the money they take in and when you move out their properties they will do all they can to bleed you dry of your deposit and you are never likely to see that money again. I have spoken to others who have rented from this agency and they have all had the same bad experience as myself and none of them got their deposits back either as they do what they can to ensure you do not get your money back. When I rented my old property it was with another letting agency who then sold out to these people and soon as I knew who had taken over I knew I would end up moving and less than a year later I did. The Landlord right from the start of the tenancy was difficult but when moving over to these things got worse. No repairs were ever carried out and if you needed a plumber or repairs to be carried out you had to pay the bill not them. The house had damp issues and the agency refused to deal with this and as an asthmatic it made my condition worse so much so I was hospitalised at one point because of it. They did not care about me as a tenant whatsoever all they cared about was the money from the rent I paid each month. I spent hundreds of pounds of my own money on the property and this was never acknowledged and when I moved out they gave me an extensive 3 page long cleaning list of what they expect you to clean from cleaning light bulbs / fittings to inside all cupboards and drawers and expect you to take time off work so they can show new potential tenants around the house. I had to take the matter further to get my deposit back as they charged an appalling amount for a repair to be carried out in the garden, triple what it cost elsewhere, this was clearly to line their own pockets. I would advise anyone to not consider renting a house with these people you will regret it and will lose a lot of money in the process, avoid at all costs. There are better letting agencies and properties out there like so do not waste your time or money with these people.

I never stated that you did manage my properties although I was hassled on a constant basis to switch from let only to managed let - hence why I said money grabbing and I’m sure bcz I preferred to be a hands on landlord and build direct relationships with my long standing tenants this was why you were so unhelpful in many levels. I had and continue to have a good relationship with Megan who sold her business to you. In addition I also had properties with Larards and Chris Clubleys since 2002 who have always been great highly professional and helpful agents, and again, even though staff have left I continue to have a friendly relationship with them. I have had great relationships with both these agents for almost 20 years, as I do with all my tenants, many of whom are long term tenants and very happy with how I manage my respective properties. You don’t need to warn anyone about me bcz your agency was the only one I couldn’t get along with for reasons mentioned
Many thanks for your summary though and for concurring with the fact that you yourself instructed your staff to be unhelpful. I rest my case!

The amount of inaccuracy in the comments made here are mind boggling. I have reviewed the notes on this client. First, Julie Harris was never a managed client with Link Agency she only used our agency on a Let Only basis. Throughout our dealings with her she was problematic and tried to get my staff to run around after her as though she was one of our managed clients. Which I repeatedly told them not to do. The agent that previously dealt with her had sold her business to us, that is true, largely to escape just this type of "client" that they had created for themself. We were the unfortunate recipients of this. The one thing that is certain is that we took over and managed all of the deposits with complete legal compliance. Our team have been working in the industry for many years, we are ARLA licensed and fully compliant. Although this seems to relate to events that took place a few years ago, the name Julie Harris is etched on my mind as just the type of Landlord that agents should avoid dealing with. She is wants everyone to run around after her and yet she is not willing to pay for a service. I could go on.. If that sounds rude then I am sure you get the idea.

The letting agent I had my rental properties with sold out to Link Agency at the beginning of 2017. My experience with this agency was that they were money grabbing, completely unhelpful and very difficult to deal with. After some time I moved my business to another agent who I had previously been with. When the new agent went to Link to collect all the files and paperwork on my properties, including tenancy deposit schemes they were told there was nothing to give them. I knew this to be completely untrue bcz the agent who sold her business to them was the most efficient agent I have ever known. Wouldn’t advise any decent landlord to put anything with this agent. They’re the most rude and unprofessional agents I’ve ever encountered.
