If I could give them zero stars I would. I had the misfortune of renting an EXTREMELY overpriced, poorly ventilated 2 bedroom apartment on Erleigh road from a landlord called Sunny who was incredibly rude and invasive towards myself and roommate during our one year lease 2 years ago. He entered ... Read Full Review

Don’t even deserve one star. House was handed to us in an awful condition with black mould in every bathroom and our complaints were consistently ignored. Cleaners were sent in and failed to do any work so no improvements were made. During the tenancy they were slow at responding to ... Read Full Review

Scammers, they over price their services. I payed a fee of £300, I thought I payed in case there were issues with the property but no, they told me I should resolve that with the landlord. They are completely useless, which is a shame cause their staff were nice and polite. Don't ... Read Full Review

Westgate agents have represented us for a number of years now and all I can say is hats off to them: for they are a bunch of hardworking, pleasant professionals, who always strive to deliver the best quality service to both their landlord and student clients. They are bona fide and approachable and ... Read Full Review

I should give them zero star even. They are very unreliable. All they are interested in is rent collection. Their communication is extremely poor. They do not reply emails. So many problems with them. These guys are just a waste as far as I am concerned. Avoid them like a ... Read Full Review

We rented a student property in Reading and we were thoroughly let down by Westgate who did nothing to help us get our deposit back from the unscrupulous landlord at the end of the tenancy. We left the property in a far better condition than when we took it over. Westgate promised to assist us ... Read Full Review

Do not whatever you do go with this company. I have met some bad estate agents in my time, but these are by far the worst. They lost my inventory, which caused me all sorts of stress when I moved out and it took about 5 weeks just to get an acknowledgement. They sided with the landlord (no doubt to ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

I think they need to learn the basics of their job.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
