New Carpet / HML Richmond

We’ve been tenants for 13 years and HML have just replaced our carpets throughout. We’re VERY happy with them, they really look impressive and brighten up the rooms.

The carpet fitter, Richard, worked so hard on his own. He was efficient, cleaned everything up and was a pleasure to have in the house.

A big THANK YOU to HML for their continued support and help, we are very grateful for the improvement.

We recently used HML for a property rental and David was the one helping us on the process for renting. David helped us a lot in the renting process. We are quite satisfied with our relationship with HML and look forward to continue working with them in future.

Hml in Luton have two Trust pilot…

Hml in Luton have two Trust pilot sites, one as Hml Luton the other as Hml lettings - worth checking both before engaging with this company.

Hml in Luton have reached a new low in customer service. Echoing many experiences shown on the Hml Luton listing trustpilot site, staff either do not answer phone, deny any knowledge of a situation, or do not phone back as they assure they will. Their approach seems to be one of deny deny deny and stonewall in the hope that you will loose the will to pursue whatever the current malfunction in service is. As examples: failing to manage tenants who leave without notice resulting in significant loss of rental income and costs to landlord. This situation equally frustrating to tenants who did not receive deposit back for over two months after leaving. Failing to have organised required electrical safety checks despite continually assuring landlord the work had been done. One thing hml are good at is spending the landlords rental income on non urgent works without prior agreement, also not managing accuracy of tradesmens invoicing. The ability for non communication is a practice to behold. A recent experience was the receipt of a unsigned letter from the collective of 'WE '. I did not choose Hml,they were inherited when Thornes of Luton sold on retirement their proffesional and long standing company to hml,who have reduced the service to rubble.

The Hml response to negative Trust pilot reviews is to send a ' please contact us' reply. Such a hollow gesture after many months trying to do just that.

Update of review due to lack of improvement.

A suggestion for HML, Offer all landlord clients inherited from Thornes a penalty free opportunity to move to another letting agent.
(Currently HML would charge at least a month's rent for each property ) They would then have no further negative reviews and landlords can source a proffesional letting agent of choice.

Tenant review

We have been tenants at a rented property managed by Thornes/HML for over 4 years and we met the valuations manager, David Tondel, who from the moment we moved in, has always been our contact person.Any problems or queries we had, David always was available and very courteously provided us with solutions and guidance.All in all we recommend HML, especially David who is an asset to the team!!!

I have live in my property for over 17 years. the property is held by my wife as Trustee for me, HML were supplied with a Power of Attorney by my wife, in my favour over 10 years ago. They refuse to deal with me and clearly have no legal understanding, Legal Proceedings are ongoing. I am a retired Solicitor.

You should avoid HML at all costs, They are a bunch of unprofessional charlatans. I have along email trail to back up my statements. The worst managing agents I have known in over 50 years experience

Leah-Rose Burke and David Tondel from HML Lettings have been most helpful with my rental property. They have kept me informed, organised maintenance where needed at a reasonable cost and have generally been very helpful.

I would highly recommend them

Landlord Review

I became a landlord this year and was a massive ease thanks to Hayley Whitehead from the Romford office. She was very knowledgeable, also easy to get hold of and a great pleasure to work with.

I recently just met Hayley after numerous phone calls and emails, it was the nicest little treat I could have asked for, she has kept in contact with me throughout lockdown, always making sure everything is okay, never in an intrusive way. Since having her over look my property, I feel safe and looked after and above everything I feel like I am never a problem and she is always happy to help me and that is exactly what she does, she always handles my query's efficiently and effectively and makes sure that everything is handled to the best of her ability, which is more than anyone could ask for. Thank you so much for Hayley for always being approachable and caring that I am okay. It really means a lot to me.

Big thanks to HML

Big thanks to HML. They made my first letting experience a good one! From start to finish I was kept informed by calls and emails. Even after when you have accepted the property, you are contacted to ask if you require help & assistance with TV/Broadband, insurance and moving. A special thanks to their valuations manager David Tondel, who personally helped me through the whole process from start to handing over the keys.

High Recommendation

We work for several letting agencies. In our opinion, HML is the best letting agency in Luton. Michael Goodwin, Leah and David Tondel are the best!
High Recommendation.
