Lighthouse are helpful, professional and caring. All of the staff are super lovely, they are prompt, friendly, accommodating and go above and beyond!
I would recommend Lighthouse to anybody and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.
After a landlord pulled out of a property I had intended to rent, the staff ensured I was given opportunities to view properties promptly and a thank you particularly to Michaela who found us out perfect home for the past year who then ensured a smooth transition at an extremely stressful time.
The team operate as a family and that shows in the way we have been treated, nothing is too much trouble and is handled with compassion.
Simon made our departure easier, hassle free and was understanding over my emotional wobble - we were sad to go but excited also to move in with my partner.
Keep doing what you do best!... Read more

As a landlord I have successfully worked in partnership with many letting agents over the years. Lighthouse is only consistent in the level of poor service they delivered to me and my tenant. This review is 100% genuine. I have records that can evidence the extent of their incompetence. Do your self a favour and find a decent letting agent.
Dear Lighthouse, thankyou for your reply to my rating. On this occasion you cannot claim a poor review is a fake review, so instead you choose to make entirely false claims of my behaviour. I have a full record of all our communications and will be sharing them with Google Review and The Property Ombudsman of whom you are a member. At the time of writing I notice your website does not as a mandatory code of practice requirement prominently display the Ombudsman logo on your website. I wonder why? You may wish to amend this at your earliest opportunity. I will leave people reading this to draw their own conclusions.
Last response from a customer on this platform before asking The Property Ombudsman to adjudicate:
1. We did not by any communication platform say this Compliant was closed.We told Mr Wright the Director of Lighthouse that this complaint was remaining open via a recorded phone call.
2. At no time in any form of correspondence were we abusive to you or your team. I regard your comments about how we behaved as libel. In a nutshell you are out of order,
3. We recorded all phone calls. Which is legal. I refer you to the Information Commissioner for advice. We will release calls on a legal basis only.
4. You are correct emails and indeed other messages were sent at various times. We never demanded expected, suggested or inferred a response until the team were back at work in normal office hours.... Read more

They have been helping my brother since May this year. He has complex needs and vulnerabilities but their attitude is accepting, helpful, “can do”. He’s now a week into his tenancy of a small flat they manage; we are both very grateful for all the help and support given by this wonderful team.
If I could give them 10 stars I would.

I would not hesitate in coming back to them if we were thinking of moving in the future! being an Agent myself in lettings/sales it was refreshing to deal with a great bunch of people and again, it's such a shame they didn't have anything for us as the Agent we are now buying from have already not been great. Keep up the good work and thanks again for being an amazing bunch of people! Stuart and Emma Bowley... Read more

I rented from Lighthouse for 3 years before moving in February. The property that I rented had a problem with damp and despite reporting this on several occasions I was told that this would be too expensive to fix?! The house was very cold and repairs that were done were done so cheaply that they had to be redone (upstairs bedroom cupboard was plastered twice due to trying to do it on the cheap the first time around). I was subject to 12 weekly checks, which made me feel under scrutiny. There was no reason for this given and I always paid my rent on time and no issues around ASB. In the end I left due to living in a cold, rundown property which was making me feel down. I didn't feel valued or looked after as a tenant paying £425 a month for a property.... Read more

Genuinely the best experience I've ever had with a letting agent (I've lived and rented here for 7 years and experienced many different letting agents). They have been friendly, warm, helpful and have worked quickly to help me secure a lovely new house to rent. The property is the best I've seen in the Ashfield area for a while and they've made it a smooth process from start to finish. I've been very busy at work and not able to quickly fulfill a few things on my side of the application process, but they haven't made this an issue. Julie & Sam have looked after the process and are both very personable, not like other letting agents I've experienced who are either a bit cheesy or disinterested. Thanks Lighthouse xxxx...

We have lived in this house for two years rented through Lighthouse, the windows are falling out and leaking our little boy cannot sleep in his bed for the wind and rain coming in the roof leaks. and they won't resolve the problems but won't let us do any work ourselves, They are useless!!!

Would not use again but some positives...
Lovely people, but really the attention to detail is so bad I ended up writing my own rightmove entry, you deal with someone different every time you call or email.
Took longer than expected to get in a tenant as they were messing about not doing more than one viewing at a time and not wanting to "mess anyone around" The idea is to get as many offers on the table as possible and get someone in quick.
The checkout process was a nightmare, our tenants left the place dirty and had painted the walls and broken things (painted without permission) and we were left to sort it out. Checkout was lax, I had to pick things up that were missed - a lot of things too! It wasn't how I expected at all. Baring in mind how I have been picked up on certain things when I was renting, they just lack attention to detail and professionalism. They are too nice to tenants when we are the ones paying them!
We had to go through the DPS to get money back even though the agency said they did the best they could. Not acceptable in this day and age.
They are quick at getting people out to do work if the tenant needed it doing and coming back to me pretty quick which is always good.
I would say they are good value for money if you don't have a lot of money to spend but next time we would consider another agency purely based on the lack of detail and having too many people to deal with.
OK but definitely could improve.... Read more
