I have used Urban twice now to let my flat, and would recommend them unreservedly. They are efficient and courteous, reply promptly to any messages, and charge a fraction of high street estate agent fees. Why would you go anywhere else?

Great time and time again

I have used Urban over the years and their service continues to be excellent. Dan helped me with the last letting, completing the contracts and helping with all the new legislation requirements, saving me a small fortune Vs my high street agent in SW London.

Property occupied within 2 weeks of advert being placed.

I did the £99 option and overall it has served me really well. If you are happy doing your own viewings then this can save you lots of money. The advert went on quickly and within hours I had quite a few people who wanted to view the property, and I now have people moving in within 2 weeks of the advert going out. The only problem I had was that I filled all the info in on their website and when I hit submit at the end most of my info was wiped off. I had to then get in touch with their helpline and re-write my script which took an extra hour. If this hadn't happened I would have given them 5 stars.

Dear Robert

Thank you very much for your kind review. Its great you found tenants within days and have people moving in so quickly. That's the service we aim to provide!

Sorry about the technical glitch with the website, for security reasons accounts have time-outs on them and if the user has not saved the information it can be lost. I will contact my development team and increase the time-out on your account. Hopefully it should not be an issue again.

Thanks again

Highly recommended

I've used a few different ways to let my flats and this has been really great.

Decided not to go for just the basic package. Had references and inventory done with Urban too which cost a bit more but was really worth it. Inventory very detailed which I was pleased with.
Urban open on a Sunday which was great for me as I work on Saturday.

All in all great experience, found tenants quickly and I highly recommen.

Hello

Thank you for your review.

Our technology is designed for getting tenant requests to view properties efficiently across to the landlord. We have spent 10 years refining this technology and we have lots of staff on the phones ready to take calls from enquiring tenants as well.

Its great that it has worked so well for you.

Thanks again

I've used Urban to rent our property…

I've used Urban to rent our property out twice in the past two years.
Both times I've received very prompt and professional service. The self-service management of properties is very easy to work with, and Urban takes care of getting the adverts live on multiple property sites (purplebricks, rightmove etc).
Once we've found the right tenants, Urban moves very quickly to ensure reference and right to rent checks are completed (all in one business day this time round) and handles the deposit.
It's a great service which takes a huge amount of hassle and admin off my shoulders, and I know Dan is always at the end of the phone if I need advice or updates.

Dear Alex

Thank you for your review. Our references are the best in the market which is why we offer our legal guarantee free of charge with them. We are also the only online letting agent to offer right to rent verification with all referencing as well.

Thanks for your feedback on Dan, although we are online we pride ourselves on giving the human touch!

Thanks

Fast, Reliable, and High Quality User experience.

Straightforward. They put the property online within an hour of me creating a profile. Seamless experience. Much better than the other competing services I've seen around. Good customer support. Strongly recommend.

Dear Gopal

Thanks for your review. Our service is not the cheapest online service, but great customer service and support costs money unfortunately and it can make the difference between a successful and unsuccessful let.

Its certainly worth investing in which is why we will not compromise.

We look forward to working with you again!

Thanks

Hi Mark

Thanks for the great review. Two weeks is great but we always want to get the right tenant not just any tenant which is why we offer best in class referencing , our knowledge on getting all those admin points right and protecting the landlords rights so you don't come unstuck makes the premium option well worth going for.

Good luck with the let!

Thanks

perfect service

I’ve had my investment property in Clapham for 5 years now and have always used the same local high street agent to find my tenants.

Last few times I’ve been pretty underwhelmed by the service so this time round I thought I’d give online a try and I’m so pleased I did.

I really want to thank Dan in particular for his help with everything from getting the price right to sorting the referencing and contract, he really couldn’t have done more to help. I genuinely feel the customer service I’ve received over the past few weeks has been 5*, tenants are good quality and I saved almost £1800!

I can’t really believe it to be honest and wish I’d done it years ago. One thing in particular that was annoying me with my local agent was they just didn’t ever seem to pick up thier phones, Urban are so responsive via both phone and email which has been great for me. I will certainly be back next year when these tenants leave and will be recommending you to everyone.

Excellent

We took out one of their basic tenancy plans and we couldn't have dealt with a nicer bunch of people. Everyone was exceptionally helpful – we called often to ask various questions and every time, without fail they were positive, friendly and informative. They rented our flat almost immediately for us.
