Shout out to Yousaf!

I don’t usually take time out to write reviews, but Yousaf was a great letting agent and was extremely helpful and patient throughout the process of us securing our desired property. He had a great balance between being professional and also having a great personality.

The overall experience was fast, communication with the agent was good and Fleetmilne overall have high quality properties on offer and won’t just try to sell you anything.

Would definitely recommend!

Superstar service

Clear communication, great service and overall a pleasant journey. Specific shout out to Ariane Barrett for providing great support regarding viewing and the overall application relating to rental of a property. Frequent follow up calls and emails were sent in a prompt manner which ensured that there were no delays regarding paperwork and what was required for the property.
Always on time and clear communication threads made this journey much more pleasant.
Overall it was a great and pleasant experience in securing a property, the best I had so far :-)

Great service highly recommend

Great service. Chose FleetMilne as friends had previously been landlord and was recommended. Working with Yousaf was the excellent bit. He stayed in contact with me, was professional, polite and patient in spending time to understand our needs From the initial meeting, advising on the process and the move in of the tenant, has all been stress free. They arrange pictures and advertising, but also supply furniture and ensure that your property is compliant for future tenants.

I would highly recommend him to all my friend.

Thank you Yousaf, we truly appreciate your time and efforts.

I would have expected the flat to be in…

I would have expected the flat to be in a fully functional state when moving in. Having issues with repairs at places which requires time to be sorted out is not a pleasant move-in experience for a new flat. However, MJ helped out with the issue and got it sorted within the week but I am just disappointed that as initial moving in is always a little unsettling, it would be better to have things completely sorted out and checked before the tenant moves in.

Hi Sunandan, thank you for your review although we are saddened to hear you were not completely happy with your initial move-in experience. Sometimes there will be maintenance problems that we are unaware of until someone physically moves in and uses the property. We rely on tenants to report issues to us promptly so they can be sorted ASAP. I'm glad to hear that your property manager resolved this for you within a few days. We hope you enjoy your new home now the teething problems have been sorted. If you would like to discuss your experience further, please contact me at kirsty@fleetmilne.co.uk

Very happy with the service provided

Very happy with the service provided by the office and onsite facilities team. They have always been happy to help and answer any questions with a speedy response. I would 100% recommend renting through them. They helped make our house (apartment) a home. We thoroughly enjoyed living at Kenyon Forge.

Lack of care and poor communication

We've been using FleetMilne to rent our property for a little over a year and while things started well it hasn't lasted. There have been numerous issues, the door was left unlocked overnight after they had organised for a clean between tenancies, we have been charged for things multiple times, payments are often delayed, information is not provided or is incorrect if you can get a response. The care of tenants has been severely lacking and is resulting is us taking over management of our property as we are being charged a significant amount to not have our investment looked after. Problems aren't communicated to us in a timely manner and when they are we are receiving quotes of £118 to put a screw in a wall. Our tenants were left without a parking permit for several months as FleetMilne hadn't collected it from the previous tenant, resulting in excess of 20 parking fines.

Hi Dan,

We pride ourselves on our service and have processes and systems in place so that clients are kept fully up to date so we are sorry to hear that you feel the service has not been up to standard. I can see our Property Operations Manager did get in touch with you in July to explain and discuss some of the issues you mention. We have also tried to arrange a call with yourself recently to better understand your dissatisfaction, see where things went wrong and how we can improve moving forward. We would still welcome this call in order to clarify the issues you have raised.

I am a new renter, and I am also new to the country. I have been very lucky to come across Fleet Milne and especially their agent Yousaf, who was very helpful and kind.
He was very supportive during the process and made it very easy for me.

Incompetent

At best they are incompetent - gave 2 stars for eventually acting on most issues with a lot of prompts / complaints. Prior to moving in, they sent me an electrical report stating the flat was unsafe. After a lot of queries/prompting, it turned out the remedial work had actually been done - they had just not sent that document. When I picked up the keys, they tried to get me to sign to say I’d received them before giving them to me. The first person couldn’t tell me which street the gate to the property was on - but then did eventually find someone who knew. They didn’t want to give me the codes to get into the property when I picked up the keys - wanted to email them to me later that day despite me going straight there from the office - but when I insisted to have them before leaving the office they eventually gave them to me. The codes were wrong. The whole year I rented the property, they didn’t seem to keep any records of entry codes / changes to codes. They didn’t pass on code changes, leading me to get locked out (of the property I was paying to rent). When they wanted to enter the flat (to check it & for viewings), they couldn’t get in as they didn’t keep any records of codes, so I emailed them copies of my previous emails asking them for codes and their responses with new codes. This didn’t seem to prompt any recognition of their disorganisation or any changes to their procedures. It happened on multiple occasions. They didn’t know what the keys were for - one response suggested a previous tenant had left a key on the keyring by mistake - I eventually found the water meter cupboard. When they did a viewing, they completely irresponsibly left the flat unlocked after, with all my posessions in it. I asked them to opt me out of all the contact I was getting from ‘move in’ services. They agreed, but then when I moved out, they sent my details to external agencies again for ‘move in’ services. When I complained, the initial response was that the person I emailed last year no longer worked there with no understanding of consent for processing and sharing of personal details. They didn’t seem to have any understanding of the rental agreement - I sent them emails with chunks of it every time they tried to do something ridiculous. Over a month after I moved out, they haven’t paid the deposit back. They tried to claim I needed to pay for normal wear and tear and things that were damaged prior to me moving in (and were clearly damaged and unchanged on the inventory and check out report). Again, this all seemed to be complete incompetence, rather than malicious behaviour, although it seems their policy is to try not to give the tenant back any of their deposit. Altogether, I wouldn’t suggest renting from them unless you’re very patient and willing to keep emailing and keep pointing out obvious incompetence, or unless you’ve had much worse experiences with other agencies. I had no issues with the flat, but the letting agency definitely let the landlord down, and I would suggest the landlord uses a better agency.

Hi Julie, we're really sorry to hear about your experience with us. The building managers are in control of the codes for the buildings, unfortunately, they do not always inform us when the codes change. Every time we are made aware of a code change these would have been passed over and updated on our system. I do apologise if the system was not updated and you were asked for codes during your tenancy, we will be sure to look into this and update our procedures.
I can see your deposit has now been released with only a small deduction. Please be assured that we will always review deductions and charge each party fairly. Our process will be that you will initially be sent a list of any deductions which may be charged, this is not a full and final list and will be fully reviewed to ensure all charges are fair. I can see following your comments some proposed deductions were removed, I do apologise if there was some back and forth over this which delayed the release of your deposit.

Birmingham renter

As a renter in Birmingham, it’s reassuring to have a lettings agent rooted in the city.

Fleet Milne has been prompt in responding to enquiries, and founder Nicola and her colleagues have demonstrated great customer service and duty of care.
