Absolutely terrible agency. Extremely poor communication and predatory approach to students. They try to scam everyone out of their deposit and exploit their power in the small durham housing market to raise their prices to ridiculous levels as they know students have no other options. Definitely do not recommend as there are way better agencies to work with.... Read more

We have not been in the property for a week and I am already appealed by the complete lack of competence from the agency. The house we arrived in has not seen a cleaning product since it’s been built which is evident from the growing mould in every room and dark stains that are left after any surface is touched. There is a lot of storage, which would be beneficial if any of the drawers didn’t fall apart when opened and the house also has a lot of natural light, which we get to appreciate all day since there are no curtains. Harringtons, sorry about the lengthy review but this is my last resort of getting in contact as none of your employees will respond to our reports.... Read more

As a parent I’ve been utterly appalled by the state of the house my daughter and her friends rented. It was filthy, despite Harringtons claiming it was cleaned. Leaking roofs, no gas, unsafe doors and windows, sewerage issues, mould, damp. Extremely unhelpful staff. Environmental health now aware. I genuinely don’t know how they get away with this....

I HAVE SLUGS IN THE KITCHEN DUE TO A HOLE IN THE EXTERIOR WALL !! Reported this over two weeks ago and nothing has happened since. I have called Harringtons office various times and am very sad to say that I was treated less than the minimum of respect. So far, this has been a disappointing experience.... Read more

Absolutely appalling and the owner as well as this ‘agency’ should be ashamed. Had to seek support of environmental health due to horrific state of Rennie Street house. Mould, damp, unsanitary. Agents outright lie about work completed. Students are paying over 2k per month for an absolutely neglected property. I’m not sure how the landlord or agents sleep at night!... Read more

The worst student property agency ever. They try to find every little way of deducting money from your deposit and charge you for damage that's not even your fault. When I moved in with my flatmate, the house was incredibly dirty. Furniture covered with dust, floor covered with paper pieces and body hair literally stuck to the walls of the bathroom. It never occurred to me to make a video of the place to prove how disgusting it was but Harringtons are claiming they had the property "fully cleaned" before we moved in. Even our neighbours (who have lived just next door for a long time and even knew the previous tenant) reported that Harringtons did not clean the place. The vacuum cleaner was covered in very small mites and I discovered that the very night we moved in. It's my fault that I didn't report it back then cause I thought it was trivial compared to the other unhygienic stuff in the house. Now a few days ago someone from Harringtons came for an inspection and asked if everything was okay- I told them about the mites and they sent somebody to take care of it. They then sent an *£80* bill asking us to pay for it???? They keep saying the property was cleaned and there were no mites on the vacuum cleaner so it's our fault that we didn't clean the garbage from inside it. I asked for proof of the cleaning- no response. They are now deducting it from the deposit. Take my advice- DONT CHOOSE HARRINGTONS. They are the most dishonest and unethical company and just want all your money. If you still choose them, ALWAYS take a video and pictures of the house the day you move in to have a record of the condition of the property.... Read more

My experience with Harrington's has been awful, and I have had lots of experience with them: two tenancies to be precise. In my first tenancy, the other students were making a mess of the communal bin area and Harrington's said they had nothing to do with it when I emailed them. Also, the flat was dirty when I arrived in it. I even noticed the staff were very cold with me when I had to enter their shop. But it was only my second tenancy with them where it became clear how they bully their tenants. The flat was EVEN MORE dirty when I arrived (photos attached). As you can see from the photos, the floor, the freezer and even the toilet was dirty (there was brown stuff in it which I can only imagine was a mixture of poo and the main chunks of broken tiling that Harrington's thought would be too embarrassing to leave on the floor with everything else). The bed hadn't even been unwrapped from its plastic and the WiFi box was splayed out on the floor with all its wirings. But this is where it goes from bad service to actual theft. They hadn't actually given me the key to the main building; only the front door key. It was by fluke that I accessed the building the first time; then I was locked out and had to crash with a friend. I hadn't even moved in my stuff before the tenancy came crashing to an end. There is one particular member of Harrington's who was in charge of my tenancy. I asked her to send me the key to the building, but she insisted that I would have to walk all the way across Durham for a second time to come pick up the keys which they forgot to give me. I refused so she said I could return my keys if I wasn't happy with the tenancy. Of course, I was very happy to give back my keys after receiving such poor service but I made sure she promised that I would get back ALL of my money: both deposit and rent. I gave my keys in when she made this promise and have not had access to the property since. But when it came around to refunding me two weeks later, she sent back the deposit only and pretended like nothing was wrong. I still have not received my money for one whole month's unused rent to this day. To conclude, my first experience with Harrington's was one of coldness and apathy; but the second time I learnt that they were actually criminal. Please feel free to share this review with all living in and around Durham so they do not fall into this trap. I will be pressing charges so hopefully the court will deal with them, but in the meantime, I do not wish this experience on anybody.... Read more

Unhygienic property with dirty walls, broken glass in corridor, misleading back garden… etc Flat was initially dirty and there was mould and staff were hesitant to rectify this. When they did it was sending someone to steam the carpet Toilet was broken from the first day I was there. Barely stayed at flat and tried to get out of my contract due to all the issues when I did use the property but agents wouldn’t budge and were very rude and greedy for money. I had read reviews on here but I didn’t want to believe it because the staff appeared nice at first but honestly should have believed the bad reviews I read on here because everyone complained about the service, and whenever there was a problem the staff were very patronising and made me feel like the problem. This is only because I was so nice and dismissive over email and they took advantage. Honestly have been waiting for my tenancy to finish as they were threatening court proceedings. Just a horrible experience throughout. Stay away if possible. It’s not worth it... Read more
