Good experience with Whitegates, slight issue with moving in date as wrongly advertised on site. Apart from that the transition was floorless with excellent communication, carpets and new flooring damaged by previous was replaced within a week of moving in :)

Not the best to deal with , they were on the landlords side most of the time, and didn't want to know when a " conflict" arose between me and the landlord. Maybe they should vet the landlords as much as the tenant

Thank you for your review, I'm afraid we weren't able to accommodate pets in the property you were interested in. Thank you for your feedback.

Reported - We do not allow tenants without credit, banking and employment history access to our landlords' properties. Threats of one star reviews do not change that.

Two weeks ago book the viewing appointment and today morning they called me for the viewing confirmation and I have confirmed their mentioned timing but when I reached their no body turned on after I called them I got to know they cancelled the viewing. Why they didn’t informed me before? Why they called me today for the confirmation? Last time also they cancelled my viewing when I called them:

Good afternoon. Unfortunately we had to cancel the appointments at that property when we got there today because the current tenant was not able to allow access. We called as soon as we were alerted and waited outside the property for every appointment to show. We're very sorry, but it was an unavoidable cancellation that we were not able to foresee.

IN MY OPINION Would give 0 stars If you’re looking for a company who doesn’t care about their tenants, lies, and doesn’t reply to their emails unless you take actions into your own hands then go to whitegates. We Lived in the house for a year and 6 months with no heating and didn’t bother to try and fix it especially when I was pregnant. We also sent all emails to citizens advice and shelter who advised us to take legal action. A couple of months of us living in the property they tried to make out we never declared having dogs when we did and had been asked twice on an email when we declared having dogs. The agents don’t communicate amongst each other they treat everyone as if they’re below them, you just need to read other reviews to get an understanding of that. They try and make out the house isn’t clean when moving out yet professional cleaners have seen the property and was more than happy. As for the exaggeration for use of baby wipes and handheld hoover and we have sent evidence to the deposit scheme, and all cleaning evidence. We also asked for evidence of this before and was never received. Damp was around the house due to poor heating due to never being fixed. Again this is all in my opinion before they email me for a second time threatening legal action for telling the truth. I would also like to add that we have been returned the majority of our deposit showing that our property was clean with no “odour” as stated from the letting agents! DO NOT USE THESE LETTING AGENTS (if you can call them that)

It is our job to ensure that landlords are not left with the costs of cleaning and fumigating their houses when tenants leave them in an unsatisfactory - in this case, filthy condition. We are not able to randomly keep deposit money. This tenant cut off the electricity to the house and then conducted their idea of a full deep clean with a hand held hoover and a packet of baby wipes (no exaggeration). To be clear - there was no damp at all in this house - just a lot of dirtiness and masses of dog hair and dreadful pet odour. Evidence of all three has been submitted to the independent deposit arbitration service, and is available to view at this office by anyone that is concerned about our practices. This tenant would not be accepted in any house of ours again and would be wise not to request a reference

☆☆☆☆☆ My experience with Whitegates Newark has been a continuous ordeal. Not only have we endured three years of unaddressed repairs and unreasonable charges, but despite our efforts to rectify the situation, they're still attempting to withhold £240 from our deposit, even after we've repainted and thoroughly cleaned the entire house. Adding to the frustration, I've reported them to the Property Ombudsman due to an ongoing issue with a meter. Regrettably, I'm still waiting for a decision. The lack of resolution and their questionable practices make Whitegates Newark a highly undesirable agency. Prospective tenants, be cautious and consider alternative options. Avoid this agency at all cost.

If there was an option for 0 stars, I wouldn't even give them the satisfaction for 1 star. Absolutely appalling letting agents when it comes to the deposit. Leaving a property ALOT cleaner than moving in, warrants £200 being deducted for a clean? Agents didn't want to be specific as to what actually needs cleaning just told us to take it further with the deposits claim. Unhelpful, unfair, would not recommend.

HI. We do have a policy that when a pet has been in a property the carpets need to be cleaned after you leave. We have been specific - it was £65 for the house clean and £129 for the carpets to be cleaned throughout. Shouting at our staff doesn't change photographs and a signed inventory. I'm happy to address genuine grievances - but this isn't one.

If you are considering approaching Whitegates with hope and expectation don’t bother.

Reply from agent

If you would care to be more specific, I can respond. Anonymous non-specific reviews are not helpful to us or future customers. I'm happy to reply to genuine grievances and help where possible but cannot respond to this as I don't know who you are.

Stay away from this company my auntie was supposed to be viewing a flat today which was arranged last week They knew that she was living in temporary accommodation she's 83 And last minute they rang to say the property was gone . Very unprofessional and rude staff don't seem to know what there doing

Reply from agent

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, as we tried to point out yesterday, we cannot hold properties for every viewing. The property had been on the market for 3 weeks and a tenancy was arranged prior to your Aunts viewing. We did try to arrange an alternate property for your relation, but after accosting and verbally abusing my staff in the street, it was decided that it be best not to proceed
