Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 2,557 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had an excellent experience with this company. Customers frequently find the platform straightforward, easy to use, and a great, budget-friendly alternative to high-street agents, allowing for direct communication and thorough vetting of tenants. Many consumers feel supported throughout the entire process, appreciating the clear documentation, comprehensive updates, and efficient handling of administrative tasks. However, a small portion of people mentioned difficulties with customer service, noting instances where support staff seemed unhelpful or unable to provide assistance outside of legal matters. Conversely, some users felt the platform lacked a more personal touch, finding it run by automated systems, or experienced constant communication pressure from the company.

Brilliant

Brilliant ! So impressed with attention to detail, reminders and your contract is to die for. All my worries disappeared as I worked through tenancy set up.

First time users

This is our first time using OpenRent and we have found it to be excellent! Although our advert didn't result in tenants, we found our own and the Open Rent tenancy process (referencing, drawing up contracts, collecting deposits) has been very good, resulting in us having a fully tenanted house for the next academic year.

Awful company

Awful company. No security or data protection. Lets landlords do what they want to you and get away with it. Don’t waste your money.

Really poor experience

Really poor experience. Travelled 40 minutes for an apartment viewing, there was no car parking so had to pay. The landlord never showed for our viewing and Open Rent has no feedback or communication channels so you can vent frustration with them or the landlords they represent. Really don’t go through them you might be wasting your time like us.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We are really sorry to hear about your experience and apologise for the landlord failing to attend your scheduled viewing. Our platform requires cooperation from landlords, and when someone fails to show up, it is extremely frustrating for both prospective tenants and us. You can also report unresponsive landlords directly on the property listing page using the 'Report Listing' button so our team can look into this.

If you have any further questions please do contact the team here: https://www.openrent.co.uk/faq#i-have-more-questions. We'll get back to you on the same working day.

Best wishes,
Helena and the OpenRent team

Two paid accounts removed with no explanation, no refund

I had an active OpenRent account with a live listing and subscription running, which I later upgraded to the £99 package. A couple of days later, I found I could no longer log in, the site prompted me to create a new account instead. I contacted support on 21 July asking for an explanation and received only an automated acknowledgment. I've followed up multiple times since, both by email and through the "Need Help?" contact form on the site, with no substantive response.

In the meantime, I created a new account with a different email address and paid for another subscription to keep advertising. This account was also removed within a few hours, again with no explanation.

To date, I still don't know why either account was removed, or whether the subscriptions I've paid for will be refunded. I'd appreciate this being looked into properly, and a clear explanation given. Happy to provide account details and correspondence to help resolve this.

Mis leading website

Enquired and used the website prompt to pay a holding deposit on property advertised - messaged back by landlord saying deposit returned as he doesn't process applications through the website - how on earth are you meant to apply then !! No option to speak to a human being at open rent either - a very mis leading , time wasting and frustrating process that I will never use again!

Excellent 'one stop shop' for managing my rental properties and the landlord responsibilites that go with it. The website needs work - sonetimes difficult to find what I'm looking for! (When I click on "Messages" they aren't there - so I end up going back to the email and clicking on the link so I can read / respond to it)

Not recommending at all

I took a flat which was said as furnished but while moving in moft of the furniture were missing. Moreover it lacked safety certificates too. Currently, i am going on with a dispute. Highly dont recommend this platform. There is no much help and suppport provided to tenants.

Do not rent through OpenRent

OpenRent does nothing when it comes to sorting problems with their subcontractors.

I have contacted their number of times , and they did not attempt to try help even though I used their website to chat with subcontractor.

You get what you pay for, so I will stick with local estate agents that offer a high quality service.
