Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 69 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported being charged unexpected subscription fees, often £35, after signing up for a low-cost trial, with crucial information about automatic renewals often hidden in terms and conditions. People frequently found property listings to be outdated, inaccurate, or directing them to agents instead of private landlords as advertised, leading to frustration. Additionally, consumers faced significant challenges trying to contact the company, with phone numbers being unreachable and emails going unanswered. However, some customers also noted that their properties were listed on the website, with details and photos used in a way that raised concerns.

i would not even rate it 1 star, from the start i was interested in a property and it was pay the fee of £1 for landlords details. No details were given what they did do was steel £35 out of my bank. They have been trying take money since the 24th April and constantly trying take money of my card and then managing to take £35. Now ive been sent the same reply twice with no evidence i signed up to anything just very sarcastic and disrespectful.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the unexpected charges and communication you received. We assure you that it is never our intention to be disrespectful or sarcastic, and we take your concerns very seriously.

When you pay the initial fee, it unlocks a trial period on our platform, which automatically renews into a monthly subscription unless cancelled before the trial ends.

Additionally, as a property aggregator, we provide the available contact options for each listing, though occasionally a landlord may choose to deactivate a listing or remove their direct contact details if the property is no longer available.

Regarding the recurring attempts to charge your card, our system automatically tries to process the monthly fee if an active subscription remains unpaid. However, we want to ensure you have complete clarity and transparency regarding your account history.

We requested your details via Trustpilot’s secure system, but as we did not receive a response, we’re currently unable to take this further. If you would still like assistance, please contact our support team using the form available in the T&Cs on our website.

Kind regards,
Renthero Team

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your frustration regarding the property listed in your road, and we take concerns about incorrect listing information very seriously.

Renthero operates as a property aggregator, which means our system automatically pulls rental listings from various sources across the internet to help users find accommodation in one centralized place.

We absolutely do not tolerate fraudulent activity or inaccurate descriptions on our site. We want to investigate this specific listing immediately and have it removed if it is misleading. We requested your details via Trustpilot’s secure system, but as we did not receive a response, we’re currently unable to take this further.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your review! We are very glad to hear that the cancellation process was easy for you once you found our email.

While we are happy that our team could assist you, we are sorry to hear about your initial frustration regarding the £35 charge and that you experienced difficulties trying to cancel on your own. Our platform is based on a subscription model where the trial automatically rolls over into a standard monthly membership unless cancelled. However, we always aim to make self-service cancellation as clear and straightforward as possible within your account settings, and we appreciate your feedback on this.

We are truly grateful for your positive rating despite the initial hiccup. If you ever need our services again in the future, we would be more than happy to help!

Best regards,
RentHero Team

Misleading £2 Trial That Converted Into £35 Subscription

I signed up for a £2 trial believing it would provide access to direct landlord property listings. However, many of the listings appeared to already be available on free platforms such as Rightmove and Zoopla, and several were still linked to agents.

The trial automatically converted into a £35 recurring subscription after 7 days. Although the company states this was disclosed during signup and in confirmation emails, I personally did not fully appreciate that I was entering an ongoing subscription.

I cancelled the subscription as soon as I noticed the renewal charge, but my refund request was refused because the cancellation occurred after renewal.

Customer support responded professionally and confirmed cancellation, but I was disappointed that no goodwill refund or partial refund was offered given the circumstances and limited use of the service.

I would strongly advise future users to carefully read the subscription terms and cancel before the renewal date if they do not wish to continue.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your detailed comments regarding the trial period and the transparency of our subscription terms.

Renthero functions as a property aggregator, collecting listings from various sources—including private landlords and agencies—to save users time by providing a central location for their search. Regarding the subscription, the terms of the trial and the automatic renewal are displayed during the sign-up process and included in the confirmation email to ensure users are informed of the standard rate once the trial concludes.

We acknowledge your disappointment regarding the refund request. Our policy generally limits refunds for subscriptions that remain active past the renewal date, but we take your feedback seriously and strive to ensure our support team handles every case with professionalism.

To review your case one more time and ensure everything was handled correctly, we requested your details via Trustpilot’s secure system, but as we did not receive a response, we’re currently unable to take this further. If you would still like assistance, please contact our support team using the form available in the T&Cs on our website.

Don’t do it just go directly to the letting agents website

Misleading adverts just take you to an agents own website. I can look there I came to this site because allegedly you can deal directly with a landlord and cut the middle man out. This is just an additional 2-bit middle man.

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the platform did not meet your expectations regarding the types of listings provided.

Renthero functions as a property aggregator, which means we collect listings from various external sources—including both private landlords and letting agents—to give users a broad overview of the market in one place. While many users find value in seeing these combined results, we understand your preference for direct landlord contact.

We requested and received your contact details via Trustpilot’s secure system and had the opportunity to reach out to you by email. Unfortunately, we did not receive a reply. If you wish, you can still reply to our email, and we will be more than happy to clarify any misunderstandings.

Rentola functions as an aggregator, collecting property listings from various external sources, including both private landlords and agencies. While we provide access to these contact details, any further communication or the accuracy of the information provided by the listing owner is between the tenant and the landlord or agent.

You are cloning adverts of properties in Scotland, pasting it on your service, but saying its in Clacton-on-Sea, where im looking, then getting the public to pay to "message the landlord " , only for the landlord to tell me what the scam is you are doing. This is deception, mis-selling, fraud, and probably more....ive been worried for 24 hour's that you have my banking info...now ive had to order a new bank card.

Avoid at all costs this company. Total scam, beware!

TOTAL SCAM THIS COMPANY.
THEY COPY AND LIST THE SAME PROPERTIES AVAILABLE ON ALL OTHER WEBSITES (FOR FREE) LIKE RIGHTMOVE, ETC THEN ASK FOR A SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT TO REVEAL THE LANDLORD CONTACT DETAILS, BUT THEY BASICALLY REDIRECT YOU TO THE ORIGINAL LISTING ON THE OTHER WEBSITES (AS THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY LANDLORD DETAILS) SO BASICALLY THEY GIVE YOU THE AGENCY CONTACT WHICH IS FREE IF YOU SEARCH THE AGENCY.
I HAV PAID FOR SUBSCRIPTION TO REVEAL THE CONTACT DETAILS FOR A HOUSE ONLY TO BE REDIRECTED TO ORIGINAL RIGHMOVE WEBSITE LISTING, THEN THEY WONT LET ME CANCEL THE 7 DAYS TRIAL SO THEY CAN CHARGE ME £35
PLEASE AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
REPORTED TO MY BANK AND POLICE THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN

It's a con from a Danish based company

Whilst looking for a property, a barn conversion came up with an amazing staircase in the centre of the room, something you'd see in a movie. The button said 'Contact Landlord'. When you do, there is a £5 fee to pay for a 7 day trial. If you read the small print, they will take £35 from your account if you don't cancel after 7 day. On further inspection, the property did not exist.

renthero.co.uk SCAM

renthero.co.uk I subscribed for 7 days and paid 5 pounds. They did not ask me if I wanted to carry on the subscription and pay 35 pounds!!!!!!!! I did not subscribe for £35, but they took it from my bank account. I request a refund. Waiting for their response.
Also, the information they provided is inaccurate, and the property you showed me during my 7-day subscription is not available by following your links. So they scam people not only by taking £35 but also by failing to provide the information that, according to my 7-day £5 subscription, they should.

Please return my £35 to my bank account, and I will leave feedback on Trustpilot confirming that you are NOT scammers. Otherwise, your actions just prove that you are scamming me.

To avoid a situation where people get scammed by you:
1. Email confirmation should be required before allowing account creation and charging for a trial, as is standard practice across similar services.
2. The advertising banner should clearly state what happens when the trial finishes.
3. At the end of a trial, users should be downgraded to a free plan by default, with a clear option to upgrade, rather than being automatically charged.
