When I moved into bedfordshire I used lenwell to find me and my partner a flat to rent, they were vert helpful to begin with but the problems started soon after we moved in. As it got colder and we started wanting to use our heating we realised we had none. we contacted lenwell who told us to contact our landlord even though they are a managing agent they done nothing, along with the landlord who after countless amounts of time asking him and even coming round to the property still done nothing. we spent a very cold winter with no heating and could see our breath indoors. we then went back to lenwell and there solution was for us to move out rather then fixing the problem, baring in mind we were told the property was heated. in February this year my partner broke his back and we knew we had to get the heated sorted due to arthritis yet still nothing was done. we then started to notice black mold on the walls and around the window, we informed lenwell who told us to wipe it off and open the vents in the window which made no difference. now after a year and a Hal we have.moved out but the long exposure to the mold I am suffering an ongoing cough and bronchitis and possible asthma when I've always been very healthy. Now we have moved out they want to deduct from my depositfor a hole in the carpet which had been cut out due to a burn and replaced before we had moved in. They are rude and very unhelpful. I am looking into going to environmental health after having a doctor's opinion and putting in lengthy complaints about both lenwell and our landlord. DO NOT GO WITH LENWELL THEY ARE UNRELIABLE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

Lenwell's Dunstable are fantastic letting agent and I would recommend their services to friends and family.
All of their team are polite and professional. As a tenant, it has been a pleasure dealing with them for every step of the process.

Comment on agent fees
Good. Lenwell's fees were in line with the fees of other agents we have used. As their service is the bestbwe have received, I would say it is great value for money.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Not lie, threaten, or harrass either landlord or vulnerable tenant. Be upfront and admit there mistakes, not cover up and lie to protect the manager Explain how they can be so bad yet achieve Gold standard ??????? >>> 1. Remove the manager from the post which he is clearly not suitable for or to be trusted inAttached Filesnbsp;

So just to add one point these are not allegations these are statement of facts which you should be well aware of.
I think compensation should have been offered by you. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
I think as many other reviewers previously have stated simply by doing their job the improve in customer service will be massive. I am quite surprise to see how they are members of so many professional organisations and be bale to have so many bad customer experiences. I know we could have approached these organisations in the past and we opted not to which I think was a mistake since none should take advantage of these memberships without really deserving it. In summary you really want these reviews to improve and have better business reputation start by treating your customer with a lot more respect and honouring what is advertised and shown.Attached Filesnbsp;

The agent put a tenant in our house without asking how she intended to pay rent, she had zero income. The agent let our house out to a tenant who's partner was threatening to staff members even before the agreement had been signed. The agent ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
My advice is for them to had fulfilled their obligations as I was promised my property would be returned in the state I left it. I paid Lenwells a management fee to manage property and arrange to check up on my house to insure everything was kept in order. Again they did not seem to care and fail to provide me with any paperwork as they confirm all of my file has been sent to the head office and their hands are washed from the situation. They have failed in all possible ways to protect my property, keep hold of necessary paperwork (such as insurances, inventory list, etc..), images of my property before the tenant moved in and failed to correct there incompetence.Attached Filesnbsp;
