Fantastic Service

I was supported by Abbie Percival during the renting process and she couldn't be more helpful. Amazing service and I am about to settle into my flat now for the new year. I felt supported and respected throughout

Horrible

Arrived in a very dirty flat with a leak in the bathroom.
Said leak in the bathroom took months to be fixed, I reported it immediately but all they did was tell me to use the glass screen when I take a shower. Thank you Pat Robson for this precious insight, next time I need someone to explain how showers work I'll ring you. Several months later that leak started going into the neighbour's bedroom and he complained. Then they finally fixed it and of course said I hadn't warned them.
Found some of the previous tenant's underwear behind the radiator.
Flat door stopped closing after a while, took three days to fix.
Building fire alarm started ringing one night, I couldn't turn it off myself as it was on a high ceiling. Pat Robson refused to fix it in the morning and I had to wait for it to run out of battery about 24 hours later.
Front door to the building wouldn't close at one point, had to call several times to get anything done about it, apparently it's "not their responsibility because it's the building not the flat", well you should know who the other landlords are, do your job. Took way too long to get fixed. This was in December and it was snowing, the draft from the open door made my flat freezing.
Cleaned the flat thoroughly when I left but they charged me 170 pounds for cleaning.

Hi Annette,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

As we explained during your tenancy, we are limited with our control regarding communal issues when there are multiple owners within a building.

Please refer to the deposit schemes adjudication decision which explains why monies were claimed for cleaning at the end of your tenancy after this was independently assessed.

Kind Regards
Property Management Team

Great Renting Experience

My experience with Pat Robson for house renting was exceptional. Their team was professional, efficient, and highly responsive. They guided me through the entire process, making it stress-free. The properties they offered were of high quality and matched my preferences perfectly. I highly recommend Pat Robson for a seamless renting experience.

Great agent for expats

Abbie was not only quick with responses but also extremely helpful with overcoming any hurdles caused by the fact that we had just arrived in the country. (e.g. how to do the right to rent check when BRP cards have not yet arrived, how to pay the holding fee when UK online banking is not yet ready, etc) We are very thankful for that.

If I could give them 0 stars I would! STAY AWAY!!!!

If I could give them 0 stars I would!
I have rented a property of them between 2022-2023 and would suggest that no one else does in the future. you would be better living on the streets than in one of their properties. They lie to get ahead and the ethics of this company need to be evaluated. you only have look at the reviews to see that they have few positive ones that have probably been written by their own staff!

When I moved into this property there was no sign of professional cleaning, mattresses where stained, there was a hole in the roof allowing rain water in and as you can imagine in Newcastle there is a lot of rain, body marks in all bed room walls, mould and damp throughout the whole property, exposed brick work, left over property not only from previous tenants but also from the landlord. they also illegally withheld the keys due to a futile company policy. I would be here all day if I was to write everything down.

Throughout the tenancy there where multiple breaches in contract and the only effort they made was to not resolve any Maintance issues.

Now that I am free from the hell they caused me for 12 months they are trying to charge to imaginary things. They are taking as long as they can to respond to emails and are all but doing anything to not to release the deposit.

Hi PF

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a rating. We would like to emphasise that all maintenance required your Landlord’s approval, and we worked with both parties to carry out various repairs and improvements to the property throughout your tenancy. In regards to your claim that we illegally held the keys at key release, it is a legal requirement for all tenants to complete their Right to Rent checks prior to key collection, which was communicated on numerous occasions prior to your tenancy start date. The Property Manager handling your deposit release is communicating with you within 24 hours of every e-mail received and should you not be in agreement of any proposed deductions please utilise the deposit schemes free arbitration service.

Kind Regards,
Property Management Team

Terrible Service.
Very slow to Act on Anything that happens.

When it comes to critical issues such as heating they take more than 3 days to sort things out and that’s if you chase them for it.

My boiler was not working so I had 3 days without hot water.

When it was finally fixed the technician didn’t run tests so I was living for 2 months with a faulty boiler.
2 days ago the boiler didn’t pass its gas test and was condemned.

Still no message from Pat Robson.

This is the 3rd day without hot water and counting.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, during the annual gas safety inspection, the boiler was found to have a fault which meant that the boiler had to be decommissioned for your safety as the tenant. We are doing all possible to organise a replacement boiler to be installed at the earliest opportunity so that your supply of hot water and heating can be restored and are liaising with your Landlord regarding this. Unforeseen issues such as replacement boilers do take time to be sourced and installed. Unfortunately, we are not able to quicken this process up, however we will keep you up to date on progress.

You have also been offered an alternative heat source, however you have declined this.

You have previously reported an issue with the boiler, and this was resolved by a contractor within 5 days. You have not reported any further issues with the boiler following this.

We are doing all possible to ensure that the boiler replacement occurs swiftly, and your Landlord has today authorised the replacement, and the contractor will be arranging a date for installation.
