Lettings service was excellent

As a first time Landlord, I spent a lot of time researching letting and managing agents and came across Hello Neighbour and liked their transparent good value pricing model and modern portal for setting up the letting. I asked them lots of questions in the run up to engaging them and throughout the process and they were very helpful so always felt in the know (first Victoria and then Russell once engaged). They handled the viewings and found tenants quickly at asking price which was better than expected. They handled all compliance and other matters with no issues. Couldn’t have asked for it to go any smoother. So can highly recommend their letting service.

Now on their property management service which is early days but seems fine so far.

Absolutely the Worst Experience

Absolutely the Worst Experience

This has been the worst renting experience I have ever had, and I would strongly advise others to stay away from Hello Neighbour.

I paid a holding deposit, successfully completed all reference checks, and even signed the tenancy agreement from my side. Everything was set. Then, on the actual day I was supposed to move in, I received a call from the agency informing me that the landlord had decided to sell the property instead – and that he already had a buyer and agreement in place. This news came after I had already packed all my belongings and arranged and paid for removals.

There was no warning, no accountability, and no compensation offered for the money I lost as a result of their complete lack of professionalism. The agents were disorganised, showed no understanding of the impact this caused, and made no real effort to help. It was clear they had no control over or awareness of the landlord’s actions, which makes me seriously question their credibility and communication processes.

I wouldn’t wish this kind of experience on anyone. Hello Neighbour has shown me just how careless and unprofessional a lettings agency can be. I absolutely do not recommend them to anyone.

Dear Raj,

I am very sorry this has happened to you. As soon as we were notified of the landlord’s intention to sell, we immediately relayed that information to you.

Please understand that we are only compensated upon a successful move-in, so unfortunately we did not receive any payment, even though we incurred costs ourselves.

As the contract was not signed and no move-in monies were collected, there is unfortunately no legal recourse available in this situation.

We pride ourselves on fairness, and the team takes these situations very seriously.

We are genuinely disappointed by how this unfolded and fully empathise with the frustration and inconvenience it has caused.

Kind regards,
Richard

Incorrect tenancy end date in agreement

I was initially impressed with Hello Neighbour until I noticed that the tenancy end date in the agreement was wrong and the tenants disputed this. To date Hello Neighbour have refused to acknowledge their mistake and are now no longer replying to emails.......I recall mentioning this when I checked the agreement, however they insisted that the end date was correct, when it was not. Very disappointed, as I was going to use them again this year and recommend them to others.
**UPDATE: I have also responded. If the tenancy end date was correct then the amount stated was incorrect - one of these is incorrect, they cannot both be right.
I have been told this is correct - however I am not sure I am convinced, but I do not have time to argue. I am not sure how you can have the date and amount not aligning and have to amend or give back 4 days payment at the end? If the tenant pays for 12 months plus 4 days then the agreement should state that. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this.

I would like to thank Sam Allum and Hello Neighbour very much for the excellent service I received when it came to renewing my tenancy agreement with my existing clients. We agreed on a slight rent increase in line with the current rate of inflation that both landlord and tenant was happy with. Very efficient and professional service. Very pleased.

This company will change the state agent market in the UK

The experience was absolutely great, better than the "standard" state agents and the cost is significantly lower. This company will change the state agent market in the UK

Fantastic Service

Josh Michels and Isabella Frost have been amazing to work with. One of the most valuable aspects of our collaboration is the amount of time they’ve saved us. Their proactive approach, attention to detail, and communication mean we can focus on our core work, knowing that everything they handle is in excellent hands.

Thanks to Hello Neighbour who have made Management of my Property the past two years ' headache free', after 'ten years' of 'nightmares' with 'High street agents'!

Especially, thanks to Josh, Victoria, & Rebecca, for their 'approachability' & 'warmth'.

Conveniency at its finest.

Everything was done for the conveniency of the tenant.
From the referencing, holding deposits payments, and up until the key handover, Hello Neighbour made it very smoothly for us to rent our next property.

5 star experience working with Hello…

5 star experience working with Hello Neighbour! It's been a pleasure working with Isabella on the agency front, and also Josh picking up property management. I now have two buy-to-let properties with Hello Neighbour and wouldn't ever consider going back to my prior agents! Both properties were let quickly and are now well managed.
Isabella and Josh are both responsive, professional and excellent at getting the job done. Would recommend every time! Thanks to both of you and here's to the next.

Awful experience

My flat was repeatedly misrepresented, including being listed as a flat share on Zoopla and as suitable for two sharers on Rightmove — despite being a one-bedroom apartment. This mistake went out in alerts and affected how the property was perceived from day one.

Hello Neighbour constantly pushed for rent reductions, citing weak market conditions while showing me low-quality applicants — including students and those I had already flagged for bad credit. I received multiple no-shows, and the overall approach felt focused on closing a finder’s fee quickly rather than securing the right tenant or protecting my property’s long-term value.

This caused lasting damage to my rental positioning, and I would not recommend them.

Renting as a first time tenant

Isabella was extremely helpful. She helped me with my first renting in the UK all the way from India without any hassle. Very user friendly website with extremely helpful people. Would highly recommend.

Prompt response to my poor experience

The website offer looks clear and simple and I wanted to verify I'd understood the service offer before paying the fee. Making a call was a big mistake- or perhaps the best thing I did- the person had a script and could not deviate from it to answer my very specific simple questions, simply repeating their script information. Unable to explain how if " Get rented" at £69 includes advertising, credit checks, contract and deposit, that if I don't need the advertising, it suddenly becomes a "pro" service that costs £440. Since posting my review the company have been in touch to get a better understanding of my user experience, which is impressive. They were also able to answer the very straightforward question I was asking, without trying to sell me a service I didn't want!

Dear Cathy,

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback, we really appreciate it. We apologise for the initial confusion during your call. Our platform is designed to support the entire tenant find-to-tenancy setup process, and when you mentioned that you'd already found tenants, it led to some misunderstanding. In cases like yours, we offer a fully supported service with an account manager who takes care of everything for you, which differs from our self-service option. We're glad the follow-up call was helpful and provided clarity for both sides. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you in the future and ensure everything goes smoothly.
Kind regards
Richard
