HML Lettings I had a shocking experience with HML Lettings …
I had a shocking experience with HML Lettings. When I moved in to my home managed by them there was disrepair throughout including a hole in the hallway, no curtain pole, holes in the window sill, skirting, cracks in the ceiling and insects.
I asked the agent to put this right only to be either ignored or they used cowboy builders and contractors. The so called pest controller even asked me to investigate my own insect problem, asking me to knock on neighbour's doors to find out what the problem was! He filled in one tiny skirting area and charged the landlord £50! Needless to say there was still a continued problem with silverfish etc. I had to get my own professional tradesman to fill in some of the disrepair that HML was supposed to manage. Then HML Lettings sent another cowboy contractor to fill in some of the disrepair. He is not a carpenter, joiner or plasterer but a landscape gardener! His idea to fix the problem in some cases was to fill the holes with a tissue! He did an incomplete job.
I still have a flaking ceiling with debris coming off. I was not informed that there was a leaking ceiling and if they were to send a contractor to fix it it would be futile as the roof leak would need to be fixed first. If they had been professional and honest they could have easily coordinated the necessary work with the management agents of the block which is HML Group.
I understand that the landlord may be partially to blame but also HML Lettings management is very poor.
They don't answer phone calls, WhatsApp messages or emails, only on rare occasions.
I have made a complaint to the Head of Asset Management here but rather than seek redress he is trying to deflect blame and comes across as rude and arrogant.
Don't take the other reviews at face value, they are often made up by the staff and employees of HML, just judge for yourself.
HML lettings customer service is about as flaky as my ceiling!
