Huge rise in letting agent complaints

We’ve all grown used to hearing about huge rises in property values over the last few years but we were surprised to hear recently about huge rises in the number of complaints about letting agents.

Apparently, there’s been a steep rise in the number of issues received by The Property Ombudsman and The Property Redress Scheme: complaints have increased by a whopping 35% in the last year, mostly to do with tenancy deposits.

It surprised us because a complaint is a rarity at smarthomes. And if we do ever get one, whether it’s from a tenant or from one of our landlords, we work quickly to rectify the problem immediately. We can back this fact up with the ratings and reviews we receive from allAgents.co.uk – where 100% of our customers from our Shirley branch said they would recommend us and just one of our many positive reviews states that:

smarthomes have found tenants for my property for the last 5 years and I have had no trouble with any of the tenants that they have found. It’s great that they are so local and can help with local trade recommendations. I have communicated with Senka mainly who has been very professional, very efficient and friendly to work with. She has always kept me up to date and helped with any queries that I have had, I can highly recommend her.

We are renowned for our dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm, so if any tenants or landlords want things done the right way – they need to try the smarthomes experience!
