Absolutely awfull!!! Never go near this agency if you can help it you will be mentally better off and financially too We moved into this property in August of 2025 all was well for a couple of months until mould started too appear in every room we contacted jacky and simply let about this and they said it was our fault that we brought it in but did try and help a little with leaflet and the owner of the property did come round and clean it which at the time we did appreciate But then it kept coming back and simply let got more and more un interested they kept saying it was our fault and too keep cleaning it we have a 11 month old baby and it was ruining all our stuff and making us sick We kept asking simply let to do a mould survey and kept pressing the issue as finally they gave in and got one in they informed us it was an issue with the flat not us and all of a sudden communication went silent no email message nothing got too the middle of January and we had enough so we had no choice but too move out We then moved out and jacky and simply let always seem too win no matter what as they charged us 400£ too clean the mould that was everywhere and a FLAT ISSUE!!!! They became rude and unhelpful i would never recommend anyone rent with simply let your better off anywhere else

Hello Jack, you moved into this flat without asking us taking the place of Adam. Lisa then retrospectively asked to add you to the tenancy. Prior to you moving in Lisa & Adam reported mould. We were surprised as have let the flat for 3 previous years & never had any mould. This is a quality purpose built flat. The landlady came for 4 visits prior to you moving in the help for 3 hours at a time to clean off mould & to educate on ventilation & heating. Lisa told us her previous home was very mouldy so yes we do suspect spores were bought in on soft toys & soft furnishings as this flat, nor any others in the block suffer mould. After Christmas we sent Prokil who did a report but just after the visit you gave notice to vacate so it was never fully discussed with you. We let you leave within Lisa & Adams fixed term tenancy without charges or penalty as you were unhappy. The checkout report was dreadful, infact the checkout company rang me as they were shocked. There were spilt drinks on walls & carpets & the flat was dirty. There were stuck on letters on the toilet & hallway wall & around 50 pictures had been stuck up on walks & ripped off damaging plaster. The lounge blind was so bent we had to replace it. Also rent was owed & an invoice from the managing conpany as you left a tall fridge freezerin the hallway. We had to do a deep clean throughout & our handyman is repairing walls, painting throughout & replacing damaged carpets etc now! Adam the initial tenant who paid the deposit with Lisa was copied in on the checkout & he contacted me to apologise for the mess, he was mortified too as he was hoping for some deposit back. This let was only 7 months long which makes it even more disappointing. Jacky Owner

Absolutely awful!! Me and my 2 year old moved into a property that had mold and damp everywhere which ruined all of our belongings. We got very sick while staying within the property and ended up having to leave early. I had begged this letting agency countless times for a year to help with this problem and they refused to do anything about it and constantly made me think I was delusional and told me "it's not mold, it's fine. It won't harm you" after moving out they are now charging me for dust. Would seriously not recommend this letting agency! They don't care about you but only money. There had also been a couple of incidents where they allowed the landlord to come into the property when I was out and without my knowledge and had also let contractors try and come in using a key without my knowledge when I was bathing.

Oh Charlie this is totally unfair...you moved into a freshly painted & professionally cleaned home & we're awkward about access for contractors & the landlord to review any issues you reported & cancelled appointments at an hours notice on many occasions, infact the loft insulation was cancelled 4 times! BCP were involved as you called environmental health & their report suggested we add a longer handrail to the stairs & restricted the window height by adding bars. BCP report did not mention mould & I have managed this property for 20 years & never had any issues as your landlords care & do all the maintenance I ask. They have also agreed for you to leave the tenancy within the fixed term without charges. Mould is often caused by lack of heating & ventilation but in this case we never did an independent report as it was not found by BCP as an issue. Yes on one occasion a contractor knocked & tried to turn the key as the landlord had forgotten to tell us & you called Leon screaming uncontrollably and we calmed you down but that was a one off & he didn't cone in. Any review is great but please keep it fair. I am currently arranging a cleaner & carpet cleaner to get the home back to move in quality & will get your deposit back to BCP who paid it for you as soon as I can ...Fleas also appeared from your cat & we had to pay for extensive flea treatment when the new tenants took over so please be a responsible cat owner in your new property to avoid this happening again!

I left a comment a year ago that appears not to be here now and left a one star. Jacky and her team harassed me and my daughter to the core. We went to court on a section 21 and we won, then to be told by Jacky basically your rents now up by £320 per month we struggled but paid it in the end to be able to move on. Jacky is not sweetness and light if all goes wrong for you, we were there for 11 years and not missed a payment before hand. Then went and took £55 off us for cleaning but the cleaners went in a few days after we left. I was confused. Listen its all ok as long as Jacky wants it to be.

2025 reply...Donna you have typed over the review you left in 2024 with more details. Yes we did put the rent up to near market value in the last few months as your landlord was so fair that it hadn't increased in years. I am bemused as to why a year on you are altering what you wrote in 2024 in a detrimental way when you have been given a BCP over 50s home with out helpJacky Owner 2024 reply......Donna, I do not feel this is fair or appropriate. Maybe you meant to leave 5 stars? 1 star is bad & 5 is good. It was a shame your landlord required his property back for family & we served a section 21 during 2023. I referred you to BCP housing who helped you gain a council flat in 2024 & I referenced you as a quality tenant. Simply Let Team couldn't have done any more to help & support you in the 10 years when we let you a quality home. Jacky Owner

Hi if he doesn't pay over the weekend ,let's get him out as he's always late paying. Paul

Reply from agent

Hi Paul, I can see the £70 is missing for the garage & Mark advised you he was a bit late ladt week. He is late by 1 week, probably on holiday as he pays manually. Anyway it is in our bank now now so on Jean accounts next working day she will transfer it over. Did you mean to leave a one star review for this as it seems a tad harsh? Jacky

Never answer the phone. Don't take properties off that are no longer available

Reply from agent

Hi Clare. Apologies we have missed your call but we do have other colleagues to pick up calls if we can't answer direct from Haverfordwest so I am surprised you haven't been able to speak to someone. Once a sale is agreed it often takes a few days for the buyer to get everything to us before we can mark a property as under offer. At the moment we are exceptionally busy so people are becoming disappointed they haven't been able to view before a property becomes sale agreed. What property are you interested in?

Tried several times. They don't even answer the phone. I think this is an indicator of how responsive they would be.

a very unsatisfactory experience that may well leave me homeless. i advise people from my experience not to deal with this office. the manager shows no honesty nor integrity except to making a few extra pounds. a very sad existence in my opinion

Absolutely shocking how a good friend has been treated, he thought he had everything sorted with his new house and he's just been gazumped.It might not be illegal but morally it stinks. I don't think you realise how stressful and emotionally draining this has been.
