Very poor service. They rented me a house with broken furniture and the new furniture provided was of very low quality. No curtains provided even though curtains were visible on photos shown. No Microwave provided even though rented as furnished. Carpet in the room was never professionally cleaned before we moved in. Dirt kept falling from chimney inside the living room and nothing was done about it for a year even though the issue was reported a few times. Hot water in the shower was also a problem which was never fully resolved.

Rubbish like any british letting agency. The process is always the same: 1) Advertise an overpriced "ruin" known as room or flat nowadays though edited …

scammers avoid this agency. On 10th March I had a viewing of a house on Halford Road, Reading with agent Anish. During the viewing of this house I noticed that the fence on the left side in the garden was damaged and missing 2 segments of …

Horrible. My agent instantly struck me as a sleazy salesman type. After agreeing to rent the property (from psychopathic landlords, might I add), he sent me an email saying something along the lines of "I'll be assisiting you all the way up …

Hi William We understand it can be frustrating when viewings are not available at the exact time that would best suit yourself, and also when a landlord declines an application to rent. There were several good applications for the property you enquired about and we are sorry that you were not able to proceed on this occasion.

Reported problem after problem with the property. Loose tiles on the roof, leaking ceiling, damp and mould. We actually had builders calling at the door on multiple occasions to inform us of the dangers of the tiles. When i phoned they told me to report it through the app, which I did multiple times with photos and nothing. Didnt dare let our daughter play in the garden in case tiles fell. The agents let themselves into the property while we were at work without informing us. We informed we needed a secure and long term property for our autistic daughter which was promised. After each 6 month, they wanted to increase rent. As we challenged this due to number of repairs needed, we were handed a Section 21 no fault eviction stating landlord had a change of circumstances and needed property back. We offered an increase on rent to try to secure as a home move just before xmas would be extremely unsettling for our daughter but this was refused, being told landlord needed to move back. Then mere weeks later, the property was put back up for rent at the price we offered. We never missed a rent payment and was always on time. Absolutely disgusting agents and a vile lying cheapskate of a landlord. We spent 1000s improving the property and garden as it was terrible. Stay away. These agents do not look after tenants.

For everyone reading this Hunters is the rebranded version of Westgate students!!! If I could give them zero stars I would. I had the misfortune of renting an EXTREMELY overpriced, poorly ventilated 2 bedroom apartment on Erleigh road through Hunters (previously Westgate) from a landlord called Sunny who was incredibly rude and invasive towards myself and roommate during our one year lease. He entered the property I was renting a handful of times WITHOUT permission despite knowing two woman lived there alone and almost walked in on me showering. He also lingered outside my apartment door on several occasions and stated to my roommate I was “rude” because I expressed my discomfort in him constantly standing outside our door and refused to respond to his almost daily phone calls/messages. It got to the point where it was causing me extreme anxiety to speak with him and so I and my parents, informed Hunters (Westgate) of his unprofessionalism and they ignored all of our emails. Hunters (Westgate) agents also entered our property without 24 hours notice (as stated in every contract they provide) and I on more than one occasion, had to block entry to the door with physical items as they would attempt to come into the locked property despite not asking prior permission while I was there alone and being informed we did not approve of any viewings. If you’re looking for a student house in Reading do NOT go with Hunters (Westgate) or rent from Sunny unless you want to be constantly harrassed and wake up to your landlord or 4 random strangers in your bedroom at 8am.

0 stars if possible. Just so awful, had the worst renting experience with them - they used to be called Westgate now called Hunters. We had to take our landlord to court as we couldn't get our deposits back, they charged us for ridiculous things. The landlord fixed things really slowly, and arrived at night without notice. Also, house had mould hidden behind wardrobes. DO NOT USE
