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.

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.

Easy to Let

The process of listing and referencing of tenants was like clockwork and the online platform was easy to use.

Efficient, effective and economical.

OpenRent offer as many services as you choose to sign up for, so it's a very flexible, user-friendly system. They are easy to contact if you have a query and respond quickly. OpenRent takes the strain out of being a landlord.

Open rent is user friendly

Open rent is user friendly
The service is seemless, from the posting of the advert, to screening and finding tenants in less than a week, arranging the the referencing and deposit , signing the contract to the check in date. Everything was smooth. Open rent responded quickly to my and tenants queries. I recommend using Open Rent

Easy to Use and Helpful Platform

I had a positive experience using OpenRent. The website was easy to navigate, and I found it simple to search for properties and contact landlords directly. The property information was clear, and the application process was straightforward.

I also appreciated how quickly I received responses from landlords, which made the experience less stressful. Overall, OpenRent provides a convenient and user-friendly service for people looking to rent a property.
