Case Study: Professional property management for landlords who want clarity, not chaos
As a local landlord, Mark wanted more than basic rent collection. He needed confidence that every part of his properties was being managed properly from compliance certificates and maintenance to tenant vetting and ongoing communication. Western Lettings gave him visibility over everything through clear systems, regular updates and proactive management.
What stood out most was the quality of tenants placed and the level of detail behind the process before tenants even moved in. Instead of constantly worrying about regulations or chasing updates, Mark was able to rely on a management setup that kept everything organised, compliant and running smoothly behind the scenes.
From day one Mark has always been approachable and happy to help with anything we've needed. Nothing has ever been too much trouble, he always takes the time to answer questions and make sure everything is sorted!
It has genuinely been a pleasure dealing with him over the years and seeing him at flat viewings, always with a smile on his face while remaining professional and putting us at ease straight away if we had any issues or questions.
Having dealt with a few letting agents over the years, I can honestly say Mark has been the best by far!! He sincerely has made such a difference to our renting experience the last few years and it's down to him that we would happily recommend Western Lettings to anyone!
Thank you Mark for all your help over the years. Western Lettings are very very lucky to have you!!
As a tenant trying to view a property, I was greeted with an AI Receptionist which didn’t understand me or understand the answers to the questions it was giving me. It resulted me not even physically being able to get through until my second or third attempt. Thankfully they removed this AI however arguably made it worse to contact them.
Now as a tenant trying to view, you’re told to put a note of interest online then it hangs up on you, which is all well and good however when you’re discussing an application you’ve submitted online or a prebooked appointment, you’re scunnered as you cannot get through to them.
As an example, I received a call to discuss a property, the gent left me a voicemail to call them back, but I cannot, and couldn’t make it. But couldn’t get in touch to reschedule?
I have given 2 stars as staff I spoke to are genuinely lovely, however these practises and systems are a reflection of a company that doesn’t want to speak to potential tenants and deliberately make it hard to do business.
Hire a receptionist and train them to qualify customers instead of binning them.
