***BEWARE*** I rented a property from Westgate lettings for a year and the experience I received as a tenant was unprofessional, frustrating and highly stressful. Numerous faults occurred while we were at the property, all were reported promptly. Unfortunately Westgate's response to reported issues including leaking ceilings and major electrical faults was anything but prompt. Instead we were forced in to a series of frustrating phone calls in which we were told lie after lie, in fact a member of staff at Westgate themselves admitted “certain members of staff are not pulling their weight†- Even their own employees do not have faith in their ability to manage property rentals, and sadly after a year of experiencing their so called management I agree wholeheartedly!! A few warnings regarding Westgate for anyone considering renting from them: They happily advertise no fees; however you will be liable to pay a ‘check-out' fee when leaving the property. This will not be mentioned to you until after the termination of the tenancy. They will try and squeeze as much money out of you as possible upon leaving the property, attempting to blame faults that are clearly the landlord's responsibility on the tenants. I wouldn't bother doing any cleaning before moving out because they'll just charge you for it anyway. The house we moved in to was in a shocking state, therefore I suspect they had charged the previous tenants a ‘cleaning fee' but actually just pocketed the money for themselves. The average number of phone calls necessary to get Westgate to move in to action is around 8. If you're aiming for a stress free life these are not the letting agents for you! I have written this review because I am absolutely appalled by the despicable level of service I received at the hands of Westgate lettings. Their company ethos is most definitely not customer satisfaction, and I find myself baffled that these ‘cowboys' have somehow managed to remain in business. My hope is that others will see this truthful review and really think twice before they become afflicted with the wearisome hell that has been the last year of my life. Believe me it's not worth the stress and aggravation!

If I could give them zero stars I would.

He entered ... Read Full Review

Don’t even deserve one star. House was handed to us in an awful condition with black mould in every bathroom and our complaints were consistently ignored. Cleaners were sent in and failed to do any work so no improvements were made. During the tenancy they were slow at responding to ... Read Full Review

Scammers, they over price their services. I payed a fee of £300, I thought I payed in case there were issues with the property but no, they told me I should resolve that with the landlord. They are completely useless, which is a shame cause their staff were nice and polite. Don't ... Read Full Review

We rented a student property in Reading and we were thoroughly let down by Westgate who did nothing to help us get our deposit back from the unscrupulous landlord at the end of the tenancy. We left the property in a far better condition than when we took it over. Westgate promised to assist us ... Read Full Review

Do not whatever you do go with this company. I have met some bad estate agents in my time, but these are by far the worst. They lost my inventory, which caused me all sorts of stress when I moved out and it took about 5 weeks just to get an acknowledgement. They sided with the landlord (no doubt to ... Read Full Review
