I contacted Host about two student lets in January, despite the two hour response time they promise, it actually took days, so I rang them, was told I needed to see pictures, and they would send me an email. I wait a few more days. No email. I have been ringing, emailing and leaving voicemails every day for several weeks and got absolutely nowhere, and it was in fact somebody else that told me there was no properties, not the company I have been trying to get in contact with for weeks! Awful customer service, disorganised, no communication. Nothing. They have spent so long messing myself and my friends that we do not have a house for next year.

We were looking to rent a property and found the perfect place through Host. Their service from the start was honest, real and professional. Mark and his team are both really friendly and very efficient. Due to covid and only being able to quickly view the property, there were a few things needing doing on the property when we had moved in but once again Mark and his team ensured things were dealt with as soon as they could be done and to a professional standard. We highly recommend Host Property and are very happy in our home. Thanks Mark & the team at Host for helping us find and settle into our wonderful home. Sacha & family

Host has been my letting agent for around 10 years and have always secured full occupancy of my properties. They are always ready to offer advice on local and national regulations covering the house rental business. The way Host works ensures that the Tenant and Landlord get a fair deal. Host has supported my business for the last 10 years and I look forward to the continuation of our relationship.

Did not get as far as renting as the reception I got when I walked through the door was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Basic manners were lacking, absolutely unprofessional. Cannot actually believe that their business survives. I offered feed back as i would very much like to know if I could improve my business especially if I was failing at the basics, the reaction I received made me realise that the best thing to do was leave. Why would you rent with a company that cannot be bothered to acknowledge your presence in their shop.?

A huge thank you to Mark and the whole team at Host property Westcliff, they made an incredibly stressful time so smooth and easy and were able to do this through the difficult circumstances of covid restrictions, responsive to my emails and questions they really went the extra mile! Feel like I am in very safe hands with the Host team.
