I can't thank them enough ❤️
The staff, in particular Emma, Jake and Chris, were very friendly, approachable and understanding.
I would highly recommend using Hancocks as a letting agent. I have little experience of their sales service, but would expect it to be on par. All in all a friendly professional team.
Good experiences
- rent forwarded to us on time
- decent at communicating and do get things sorted for the tenant
Bad experiences
- left it until the the day before the new tenant was moving in before telling we need the house to be cleaned. Then charged us over 500 quid to clean it with a professional cleaner (itemised bill given after the work is done). Hancocks must make a buck or two in the process because they like to push this service. The threat is that you will lose the tenant if you dont pay the last minute premium. This happened twice. Not ideal but I guess a lot of letting agents make money this way, but landlords should be aware of this tactic.
- finally found us a tenant for one house, signed the tenant into a 6 month min contract but signed us into a 12 month minimum contract (terrible idea as it causes conflict of interest, only seems obvious after they sting you with it). As it transpired the tenant only stayed 6 months and hancocks invoiced us £800 on the grounds that it was 'not their fault' the tenant moved out early. They were VERY insistent that we were legally obliged to pay them even though they would not be doing any work for it. Having dug into it in more detail, the contract did not say this at all and we didn't pay. I want to highlight the fact that hancocks will try this type of tactic on and they will be quite bold about it. I have no doubt that they will be amending their contract in their favour so I strongly advise any future landlords to read and re-read the contract and be aware that money comes first with hancocks.
