We have had lots of maintenance issues with our house and Zest have not resolved any of them in the time that we have being living here. Firstly our fridge has an icebox with a broken door (noted on the inventory done before we moved in) and this was causing the fridge to cool down which then made the back of the fridge freeze up. The fridge has been pretty much unusable for over 3months as it freezes all of the food inside it - our milk which we keep in the door shelf has ice crystals in. Zest firstly tried to argue that we broke the icebox door and have since being telling us to turn the fridge temperature down - even though we have been continuously telling them that there is no temperature dial either inside the fridge or icebox. We have to defrost the fridge often as the fridge door has previously been jammed open by ice. There is a mouldy old freezer in the garage which Zest asked us to clean out and use instead of the fridge. They have been giving us empty promises about sending us a new fridge but refuse to give any indication of when this will be. They also claim that they are having trouble contacting the landlord which is why after 3+ months we still have no fridge. There are 3 velux windows in the upstairs bedroom which overlook the bed. Zest are refusing to put blinds there even though for 3months they have been promising that they are getting them sorted now so that they won't be a problem in the summer. They say this is because they are priorotising our maintenance issues - even though none have been resolved yet. Zest just make lots of empty promises and don't actually solve any problems that you have with you house. We will never use them again.

My daughter has rented a place with Zest for the past months and unfortunately had a list of items that need repairing. This list has included a broken bath which has cut a flatmate, a fridge that does not work, out of date fire fighting equipment, broken washing machine, bedroom with no curtains etc.
Zest have had 3 months to fix these things and have done nothing. My daughter has continually spoken to them in person, emailed them and phoned them and still nothing gets done. I pay a lot of money and think that this is appalling.

Amazing Lettings agency! Really welcoming and professional and truly care about their tenants (unlike J Aland Lettings), Natalie is super friendly & lovely and helped us find an amazing house & was extremely helpful when we had some housing issues (e.g. finding new tenant, etc). Would really recommend them to any student in Bath! probably the best agency for students! :)

As first time landlords we were somewhat unsure as to how to proceed. Zest patiently took us through the process step by step and were always on hand to provide friendly and helpful advice. In all our dealings with Zest the staff were consistently a delight to deal with, and when we needed it they were able to recommend reliable tradesmen. Zest’s professional and friendly demeanour certainly paid dividends as the very first tenants to view the property took it at the marketed monthly rental. Based on our experience we would not hesitate to recommend Zest property letting as a first choice for landlords or tenants.

Having recently worked with Zest, I cannot rate them highly enough! Their service was friendly, simple and efficient. They answered all of my questions (of which they were quite a few!) promptly and made sure all documentation was sent over as quickly as possible. It was a pleasure working with the whole team at Zest, but in particular - with Natalie, who was really enthusiastic and approachable and made me feel like I was working with a friend, not just an agent! I would definitely recommend Zest to anyone looking to rent in the area.

Having partnered with Zest now for several years, we do feel the Customer experience is probably one of the best in Town. In our minds Zest are truly a one stop shop. From working with Glenn sourcing new property to purchase on our behalf and sorting out all of the planning regulations for alterations or licences for multiple occupancy. Handing over to Ilona once the purchase is complete, who not only manages the office, she also organises the project management in an efficient and timely manor sometimes with very tight timescales to fulfil, overseeing any building work or decorations that are required prior to letting. Natalie, what would we all do without Natalie! a shining star who will get the right people for your house and negotiates on your behalf to get the right tenant at the right price so Landlord and tenant are both happy, a quality that is very difficult enough to follow. Even on Natalie's day off she has been known to go the extra mile helping out what ever needs to be done to make sure the tenants have a great experience. So now we've just brought the property, altered it, knocked it about or decorated it and now we have people paying rent, what next? That's over to Karen who manages the accounts making sure we get our money on time every time. Landlords Why would you use anyone else in Bath? A great service and a big thanks to all of the team. Zest is definitely our property one stop shop. A massive thanks, Mick and Dawn Ps If you get fed up with letting and want to sell you house, talk to John

I have several properties to let but this latest one was in a different area and I chose Zest from recommendation and I have been more than happy with my choice. I like the fact that they are not pushy. They have a wonderful staff who are all very likeable which makes the job much friendlier than I expected. I had great advice and choices for whole package, half package and just "find a tenant" options. They certainly did as they said on the tin and found a suitable tenant for me and sent several possible prospective tenants around as soon as they advertised it. They found a tenant within 7 to 10 days. Excellent. Thank you Team Ze

These guys are great, very knowledgeable and friendly. It good to see an estate agent with a genuine focus on customer service, they were really keen to explore my options with me and their local knowledge of the city helped the process no end.

I am in a student let and zest took over being letting agent from our previous agency. We had numerous problems with the previous agent, however since transferring to zest a couple of months ago, we have had new fire alarms, windows fixed, boiler fixed, bathroom re tiled, guttering fixed, oven fixed, wall repainted, locks on doors, new hoover, new sockets put in and the garden has been completely turned around. Really helpful and never feel like I am bothering them with all the problems we had, also everything is done so quickly and we are always kept in the know. Would highly recommend have made over living experience 100x better!

Zest have been amazing as far as I'm concerned! My house sold quickly thanks in the main to the enthusiasm and conviction from Jon...I had no doubt that the house would sell with Zest, such was Jon's belief in the business and his confidence in selling .Thats's infectious and the sort of positivity that helps business and customer alike. My house isn't in Bath and Zest proved that it doesn't always pay to choose the estate agents within your I mmediate area. Zest are keen to sell using people skills, not relying on the Internet and that's completely how it should be😊

In 2015 I was searching for a property to rent in Bath, when I discovered Zest. At last in Zest I had found something different and innovative. The Staff made me very welcome and went out of their way for me. They were friendly and professional and helped me to find exactly what I was looking for. I rate this business 5 stars.

A truly great people of people who will go the extra mile to meet your needs. Zest really set the standard and they clearly love what they do. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Last year I came acorss Zest when looking to start building a small property portfolio outside of London. Glenn and his team took the time to understand my needs and to offer insightful and helpful advice convincing me that Bath was the perfect area for this. They have been completely supportive in their service in sourcing the perfect properties for my investment plans. Living inbetween London and Malaysia it is essential to have a management team I can fully trust and rely on to manage and grow my local portfolio. They are clearly the experts in Bath making my investments in this area complately hassle free. Zest’s high standards in always putting the customer first make them ideal as a management partner for any investor. I cannot recommend them more highly.

My partner and I moved to Bath in early January. We were so impressed with the top quality service we received from Zest. We had very little time to view properties and were a bit frazzled, but the team gave us a warm welcome, understood our needs and were totally accommodating! A great welcome to Bath.

I have felt in very capable hands when dealing with Zest. I can't praise them highly enough. On deciding to move from my home, I contacted several agents. Ilona at Zest suggested I look at changing the use of my house so that I would be. I have felt in very capable hands when dealing with Zest. I can't praise them highly enough. On deciding to move from my home, I contacted several agents. Ilona at Zest suggested I look at changing the use of my house so that I would be able to take in multiple tenants. Being new to lettings, I hadn't considered doing this and none of Zest's competitors suggested this. Zest were very helpful at guiding me through the process, from making the necessary application for planning permission to the council to helping me find people to adapt my house accordingly. As a result of the above, I stand to make nearly 30% more rent than I otherwise would have done, which will a huge difference to me as a landlady. With all of this done, Zest used their many contacts to quickly find me good tenants and were very helpful at responding to any queries I had at all stages of the lettings process. I have, incidentally, felt since moving out that Zest will respond promptly to any concerns my tenants might have whilst they're in my property, which as someone who has rented uncared for properties in the past is important to me. I'd highly recommend Zest to anyone looking for an agent in Bath, particularly to any potential investors looking for a good return on their investment. They really do go the extra mile.

Despite trying to find a place and move into in the space of 2 weeks and over xmas Zest managed to find me somewhere and get all the arrangement in place. Nothing was too much trouble and they communicated every step of the way to make the process as fast as possible. Great service and I would definitely recommend them.

Zest are the best in town and a total pleasure to work with! Our Negotiator Natalie Giles looked out for us at every step and as a result we landed the house of our dreams! Renting can be nearly as stressful as buying in this competitive market so really makes a difference to have someone fighting your corner. Professional and responsive at every step, I would definitely go to Zest should we need to rent again and when we are in a position to buy, they will be our first port of call. A truly pleasurable experience! Lisa

Zest have been fantastic during the sale of my property. Always friendly and professional but with an honest and personal touch unrivalled by the larger agents. They are always on hand for advice and have worked extremely hard to present, market and sell my property. Thank you!

Zest are a breath of fresh air to the world of estate agents. Their communication is excellent, offering advice of how best to present property and also changing strategy according to the market conditions. At all times they have been professional and pro-active and I wouldn't hesitate to reccommend them to anyone

Zest have been the best estate agents I have had dealings with when trying to buy property. What I liked the best is their friendliness, approachability & professionalism. They were also fantastic at communicating with me during all the stages of the buying process and answering all the questions I had. They made me feel like they were working with & for me as much with the seller, which resulted in making my experience of buying property a very pleasant one.

Zest understood how much our home had meant to us - despite the fact that we were selling and moving on. Their sensitivity towards this, coupled with their professional marketing approaches help to put us at ease and ensure that our house sold quickly. Their advice for not just preparing our home for sale, but how to manage the lengthy and often frustrating process of house buying and selling, has also helped to ensure the process has been as smooth as possible. The staff offered us advice on searching for homes as well as professional trades people who could advise on costs for renovations. When we began our search we quickly saw the difference between how home had been marketed and how other estate agents approach it - Zest are way ahead of their game! They have also ensured we are keep regularly up to date with how the sale is progressing. Top marks for Zest!

We went to Zest just before Christmas and not only managed to sell the house we needed to sell at the asking price but were very impressed by the service given.This included going the `extra mile` by the estate agent division to have the house on the market over Christmas.We gave them less than a week! Since then we have been served very well as we go through the selling process with every confidence of an excellent conclusion to the process. Our thanks to all the staff for their friendly and supportive service.

From keeping you updated throughout the initial referencing process to contacting building managers on our behalf; Zest really do go above and beyond the industry standard. It was clear from when we first met Ilona in May 2015 that Zest were not your typical Estate Agents, being very friendly and helpful when we first started looking for somewhere to live. Since moving into our flat, she regularly keeps in contact and has moved mountains for us to ensure we settle into our new home. I would definitely recommend!
