These people are simply the worst property managers I've come across. We spent a total of 4 weeks without hot water and eventually discovered some of the lies they had been telling us and the landlord when we got to meet the landlord at the end of the tenancy. The less said about her the better; what kind of person complains constantly about the shocking service the management company are providing but yet doesn't change to a different company? I wish we had never bothered with this place or these people.

They were always extremely slow to respond and ready with an excuse, and got really stroppy and vindictive when we tried to move things along by complaining. Well it looks like they got their revenge in at the end by saddling us with many charges now that we've moved away. Beware of using this bunch of incompetents!
What agent could do to change your mind?
Could have done their jobs, communicated with us and not saddled us with large bills at the end of our tenancy.

I implore you not to use Haarts letting unless you want the worst service available on the market and to incur expenses over and above the rent you receive. In 7 years I have paid £12,000 for their full management service. This is a non existent myth. ...

In the time that we rented from Haart we were subjected to the worst customer service we ever experienced. Our requests for maintenance were systematically ignored, delayed or handled by incompetent contractors chosen by Haart. Because of its (true) reputation for not paying their contractors ...

Dear Melanie, I sent a copy of the above to a number of executives at your Head office. I did receive one response, in which there is a partial apology for some of the issues, and excuses and reasons why some of the other issues occurred. In general the response demonstrated a lack of acknowledgement of the poor service inflicted upon us. Damien ...
