Case Study: From uncertainty to complete confidence
When one of his properties struggled to find a tenant, Ian considered selling altogether. Western Lettings stepped in with a more structured approach - taking time to properly vet tenants, secure reliable occupancy and achieve strong rental income.
With a dedicated property manager, clear communication and a fully transparent online portal, Ian now has full visibility across all 3 properties. Compliance is tracked, maintenance is handled promptly and nothing is left to chance.
Instead of chasing updates or worrying about missed details, he has confidence that everything is being managed the right way, giving him peace of mind and long-term stability.
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.
