Update: LANDLORDS BEWARE. Appalling, negligent company. In recent news, my property has suffered a leak and this has broken all overhead lighting. Tenants have been complaining to the agency for several weeks and I have only been made aware as the tenants managed to contact me directly after getting my number from a neighbour. The manager's response to my review below is inaccurate and misleading. Stuart has not taken responsibility for his firm's ongoing negligence. The agency have consistently neglected to communicate damage to my property, and neglected to rectify damage. I have also found out there was a leak in summer 2023 I was never made aware of – the hallway has been an eyesore ever since, with the tenants requests for action being ignored. Further, the agency also let the tenancy agreement lapse for a period before renewning, posting great risk to myself. Abysmal. - As a landlord, I am having a terrible experience using Daisy Lets for property management on my tenanted flat. The property manager goes weeks and sometimes months before replying to emails – which need to be chased. This has been the case for several years. Inspections happen months late, and not as frequently as advertised. They sent my tenants a contract with the monthly rent listed as £0 – until I flagged this error. I have also recently received a circa £1k invoice for boarding up a window (which should be an approx £150 job) – when no quote was shared. The pm threatened via email to – illegally – dock this from the next month's rental payment. The director called me 5 days ago and promised to put a different property manager onto my account, however I've received zero contact from the agency since. Meanwhile, I believe my tenants are experiencing ongoing issues and I have no peace of mind that these have been – or are being – resolved. I have attempted to make contact with the director multiple times, however there is only a centralised answering service in place and I can only assume messages are being ignored and/or intercepted. The receptionists on the answering service have advised this is likely the case. I am at my wit's end and if this situation isn't turned around soon I will need to make a formal complaint to the ombudsman.
