Valued our house 50k less than another local agent and then it sold 15k above that valuation. Can’t really say anything more than that can I!

We’re glad to hear your property sold successfully — that’s always the ultimate goal. Our valuations are always based on detailed local market evidence and experience, but of course, the market can move quickly and buyers’ enthusiasm can sometimes exceed expectations. We’re pleased it worked out well for you and wish you all the best for the future.

Unsafe, poor communication, poor organisation! Whether a Tennant or Landlord/lady, if you're looking to rent a property I would whole-heartedly advise you to seek an alternative estate agent. My wife and I have just left a rental property in Harrogate which was managed by Myrings and are now so incredibly relieved to be free from their reins. In summary, to name only a few of the issues we encountered, during the course of our tenancy we endured; - mouldy walls, - damp seeping through the ceiling, - leaking roof (through light sockets), - rotten/unsafe decking in the garden, - an unsafe (now condemned) log burner, - windows that wouldn't open (either broken or locked). Leading up to securing the rental (in Sept 23) the communication between us and the Head of Lettings was faultless. However, from the day of collecting the keys things drastically changed. We reported a number of the issues/concerns within the first few weeks of our tenancy though their online platform, together with photos. A few had weeks past and we hadn't heard anything. We logged back on to the online platform to see the issues had been marked as 'completed' - which was simply not true. We contacted the Rental Manager directly to report this and to express our concerns, particularly relating to the damp and mould in the bedroom where our (then) 8month old was sleeping. It took a number of MONTHS and a lot of pushing, despite escalation to the Head of Lettings, for the damp and leaks works to be completed. UNSAFE LOG BURNER The property we rented had a log burner in the living room. Prior to using this we checked with the Rental Manager that it was safe to use and that the chimney had been swept, etc. We were given reassurance and advised the annual service was due in the November - brilliant. By January, the service/sweep still hadn't been completed so again we chased the Rental Manager who then arranged a service in the February. It was at this point we were informed the log burner had been incorrectly installed and was fire hazard and unsafe to use. We immediately reported this back to the Rental Manager. No apology or explanation was given and we remain unaware of where the Rental Manager sourced their initial confirmation the log burner was ever safe to use in the first place. Despite chasing, the log burner remained condemned for the remainder of our tenancy (August 24). I only hope and trust that the team at Myrings informed the new occupiers of the property; which the Rental Manager said he would. LOST MANAGEMENT KEYS On the day of collecting our keys, we were provided with a set of keys which didn't all correlate to the rental property and with no front door key. However, we did then find a set of front door keys left outside, in plain sight, at the front of the property. We reported this to Myrings who then arranged for additional keys to be cut, including a spare set of management keys. Later in our tenancy, Myrings asked to complete a rental inspection which we were more than happy to facilitate. However, they advised they had lost their set management keys. So during the course of ~six months, Myrings lost two sets of keys to the house! There were many other issues and difficulties we encountered, however I feel the above helps to paint an accurate picture. A note to the senior management team/CEO of Myrings, I would be more than happy to discuss my experience and share all emails and photographs with you, should you wish to implement safer practice and an improved service. Prospective tenants / home-owner, please look elsewhere if you're looking to rent property.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologise for the challenges you faced during your tenancy. While some of these issues were indeed resolved in a timely fashion, we understand that on occasion the timeline and communication could have been improved. Your experience is not reflective of the service we strive to provide, and we are actively working to address these areas. We value your input and have already implemented changes to improve communication and management practices. If you'd like to discuss this further, we welcome the opportunity to connect directly.

I don’t usually write reviews like this, but this time, I feel like I have to. Because this isn’t just about a rental application it’s about real life. Real people. And sometimes, decisions made behind a desk, without ever seeing the faces behind the file, can cause more harm than you realize. My partner and I applied for a property through MyRing. A beautiful house in Harrogate that felt like the perfect fit for us. The landlord approved our application. We truly believed this was the beginning of a new chapter something stable, something safe, for us and our child. Then came the referencing through HomeLet. Out of nowhere: rejected. No conversation, no questions just a cold email. That was it. So we tried to offer solutions, because we’re responsible people. We offered to pay 6 months even 12 months of rent upfront. We had a guarantor. Our combined income is nearly £8,000 a month. But everything we proposed was dismissed. No one took the time to understand our situation. Yes, I had debts in the past. Like many people. But I’ve paid them. I fought through it. I work. I earn a good living. I stand on my own two feet. And yet, somehow, that still wasn’t enough. Because we don’t fit into your perfect little boxes. But in real life who’s perfect? Who’s never struggled? Who hasn’t needed someone to just give them a chance? What you did wasn’t just a refusal. It was shutting the door on a family. On a fresh start. On stability. And the worst part is, you did it without even seeing us. We live in a world that’s obsessed with numbers, systems, and rigid templates. But real life doesn’t fit neatly into spreadsheets. Real life is made of people, journeys, context. It’s about effort, growth, and resilience. It’s about respect. What I felt throughout this process was a painful lack of humanity. And I’m not saying that out of anger I’m saying it with sincerity. Because one day, you might need compassion too. And you’ll see that karma exists. This isn’t about pity. It’s about fairness. About opening your eyes. And remembering that behind every application, there are human beings. That’s all.

We are sincerely sorry that this has not worked out for you and your family. We come to work each day to do the best for all our clients and potential clients and our team are of course very upset they have been unable to get you all into the property you felt was your dream home. The rules relating to referencing are stringent and each agent has to abide by them to the letter. Regrettably, as you aware from your conversation with a member of our team, there were anomalies within your application that proved impossible for the referencing by Homelet to pass. Should you wish to discuss further please do give our lettings team a call. Once again we are sincerely sorry we were unable to assist further but wish you the best of luck in your search for a new home.

Property listed 24 hours ago. Made contact to put an application in for the property to be very rudely and sharply told I’m not allowed to as I have not viewed the property and other people “have put the effort in to.” Advised I’m in Cornwall on holiday and I’m unable to view it for the next 2 weeks regardless, however I have the credit score and the resource to put an application and deposit down. Advised I don’t need to view as I’m aware of the layout and I’m familiar with the house. Agent on the phone was ridiculously short with me again, ignoring all I had said and told me it’s not feasible for me to put an application in and I “should try listening” Made the agent aware that I’ve been applying for properties for 2 months now with no success, desperate to apply for a property for my daughter and I. Ignored and told I’m not welcome to apply. Absolutely terrible service, rude and needlessly cold. Won’t be making contact with Myrings again.

Dear Brett, Our sincere apologies that you feel the service has not been up to standard. Unfortunately, the landlord of the property you enquired about has a lot of viewings already booked in, and they have stipulated that they would like all viewings to go ahead before making any decision on a new tenant. We have instruction to ensure any potential tenant has viewed the property before taking an application. We can sympathise with you, as we do appreciate it is difficult for you to view when you are not in the area and that you have been looking for some time. As we hope you can appreciate, the lettings market in this price bracket is extremely busy and we are taking several applications per property. Your credit score or ability to proceed was not discussed and would not be questioned at this stage. Our team members would also not say ‘…you should try listening…’ no matter who is on the call or what the call is regarding. We can assure you that we pride ourselves on our customer service and apologise if you feel you have not been treated in a professional manner. We would be more than happy to discuss further if you would like to call us on 01423 569007.

An absolutely diabolical experience with these people. I would not touch them with a barge pole. I lived in one of their shabby rental properties & did loads of much needed improvements to the property at my own time & expense. After we gave notice, they insisted on making viewings well before we had left, viewings made during our baby's nap time. When they were told "no" they wouldn't accept it & became rude & offensive. When we did actually leave, they tried to charge us for gardening, with a ridiculous £380 bill for a small garden of which was not only vastly over-priced, but I had already done the work to a good standard. Stay well away from these shysters. They are toxic.

Dear Mr Buckingham, We are sorry to hear that you are not happy with the service provided and can assure you that we always pride ourselves on fairness and integrity. Allowing access into the property is stated in the tenancy agreement, and as I hope you can appreciate, we also have an obligation to the landlord to find new tenants – many of them rely on the rent to pay mortgages. We always strive to work around the time frame of tenants as we appreciate people lead busy lives and never want to intrude if not convenient. The deductions you refer to are from work required to the garden to bring them to the same order as per the start of your tenancy. This is why we employ a third-party company who give an impartial view of the condition. You will see from the deposit return adjudication that the cost of this was split 50/50 between yourself and the landlord. If you wish to discuss anything, please feel free to give us a call on 01423 569007.

Didn't show up for either viewing despite knowing when both were scheduled. Poor knowledge of the chain and follow up thereon. Added negligible value to the process. The fact that their response shows they're not even aware that we completed less than a year ago is a good indication of how on the ball they are as an agent. The time to help is when actually working on a case especially when issues are flagged, rather than a pseudo offer after the fact.

Good afternoon Darryn, we are sorry that you experienced some problems with viewings. Having looked back over our records to when you had dealings with our company a year ago, it is quite difficult to try and resolve all this time later, but we have tried to contact you today to see if we can still help in any way. We would be more than happy to discuss in more detail if you wish, as we always strive to offer the very best customer service to each and every client. Our number is Harrogate 566400. Please do call us back if you would like to discuss further as we are here to help. With thanks. The Myrings team.
