Still suffering from breathing problems after living in one of their damp properties 7 years ago. Literally permanently damaged my lungs by using this letting agency. Tried to charge me money for the damp despite it being proven to be due to structural damage prior to my tenancy agreement. Tbh the whole company is just straight up and down a scam, they should be shut down.

When I came to view the house, there was scaffolding at the entrance. The building didn't look good but the agent assured me the building was being renovated which made me accept to rent. Not knowing the scaffolding was there to add more floors on the building. I had to clean the dirts left behind my door after the scaffolding taken away. It is a block of about 30 or more flats with just 4 bins cans. Tenants throwing their bins down the windows and housing management not caring about human dignity. I had to deal with rats and clean to stop the seagulls from making extra mess. It's a total disappointment.

After trying to deal with multiple other letting agencies in and around the Southampton area I found Homelife to be the fastest and most efficient at what they do. A friendly voice over the phone and greeted with an even friendly smile in their offices, After trying other agencies there is genuinely no better place to look.

Had a really good experience with Homelife lettings They're very quick to sort out maintenance problems (usually within 24hrs of filing an issue). They also keep us updated via email which is helpful. Overall, have been very impressed with them as a letting agency (especially in comparison to what some other students have to go through!) Would highly recommend. 5 stars.

Homelife Lettings were very helpful for when I was looking for a home last October. They showed me a large (practically studio-sized!) double bedroom in Portswood Southampton and made the process very simple to sign on. HomeLife also made it very clear from the start what my rights, and their rights were as tenant and landlord, which I found reassuring. The staff are very friendly and were happy to help with anything, and maintenance and response was very fast.

I have known Glen and his family for many many years. Glen is an outstanding landlord. I have only heard very good things about Homelife lettings and their team. I would highly recommend Homelife lettings to anyone seeking first class accommodation in Southampton and the surrounding areas. Homelife have a substantial modern property portfolio. I would have no hesitation in recommending Glen and Homelife to any interested party.

I had a great experience with Homelife Lettings. I was renting a property with them for 4 years. The moving in process was smooth, the rent was fair and my apartment was great. I had a few maintenance issues over the years, as expected, but the maintenance team always responded very quickly. The office were always very helpful with any enquiries. I recently moved out, all of my deposit was returned and the property manager Georgie was very friendly and helpful in assisting me with this process.

In a world of terrible estate agents Homelife are different, they really stand out with their excellent customer service. When any issues with the house occured the maintenance team would be out the same or next day to fix things. Homelife are fair and easy to deal with, and returned our deposits in a timely manner, would definitely recommend!

We've been living in one of Homelife Lettings' flats for nearly four months now and overall we're happy with them and our place. All staff members we dealt with while viewing the property and signing the contract were professional and friendly. All the costs and fees were well explained, and paper copies were given to us with all the details. We've had a couple of issues in the flat: a broken cooker hood and hot water pump. The maintenance team is friendly and easy to get in touch with, and the issues were looked after quickly and successfully.

I stayed with homelife for four years. No troubling issues happened at all! They were always correct and reachable, I could always make reasonable agreements. My only concern was that the staff changed a lot over the four years and they seam to make decisions about their procedures without telling you sometimes. Other than that I was happy to stay with them and would recommend them, but keep an eye out how things are done and what has changed in the agency since you signed your contract.

I have rented two properties from HomeLife Lettings over the last three and a half years, and can honestly say that it's been a pleasure and I've personally had no issues at all. On the odd occasion that I've needed maintenance work, it's been completed in good time and to a good standard. I found the whole team very friendly and approachable and would have no hesitation recommending HomeLife to anyone looking to rent.
My only minor gripe would be you have to give two months notice to vacate rather than the industry standard of one month, but as I said, the team is approachable and flexible, and will help where they can.

When I was planning my move to Southampton from overseas (having never been here in person) I was understandably worried about my potential living situation. I was lucky to have found Homelife and a great property to move into upon my arrival 3 years ago. They were absolutely wonderful throughout my tenancy in a number of ways. Firstly, I would have been quite lost if they were not willing to arrange the tenancy from overseas to begin with. Secondly, the tenancy agreement was clear and they were happy to clarify any issues. Thirdly, the property was partly furnished—all in good condition. Fourthly, their maintenance team is amazing—always happy to help resolve an issue within time and considerate of my indoor cats. Fifthly, Terry and Yazmin were great in helping me ending the tenancy—plenty of notice for viewings, care for my cats, very understanding when I had begun packing (think boxes and stuff everywhere), and quick check out/return of my deposit. Overall, I’m very happy and would happily rent from them again.

I am currently a tenant with home life and have decided to sign with the again next year as they have been a very good lettings agency. Their properties are good value for money and they are always happy to come out if we have any problems with the boiler etc. Overall very good service and would recommend to others

An excellent letting agent. The staff are really helpful, friendly and fair. The apartment we stayed in was absolutely perfect for my housemate and me. Also we managed to get the keys to our new apartment within 6 hours of first walking into the agency. I was super impressed with their efficiency and am very glad we managed to find them.
