We have used Lanes rentals for the last 23 years since 1999. I think that this period of time speaks for itself! Lanes have always dealt with any issues and problems with no hassle for us - we lived in New Zealand for some of this time. What I really like is that we have dealt with the same staff for many of these years. Anne, Mandi, Simon, Laura and Amber are all fantastic. Simon the Director, is always available to sort out any problems or concerns.
As well as looking after us, the management must also look after the staff, as they are not continually changing, Mandi has just celebrated 20 years with the company. Thank you! Would definitely recommend Lanes.

Lanes have looked after our buy to let property for many years and through several tenants. The team at lanes have dealt with all the problems with minimal intervention from us which has been perfect. I would happily recommend them.

I don't usually post reviews, but on this occasion I like to help anyone who is reading this. Avoid if you can this letting agent, very unfriendly, they don't care and you can't count on them. Also they do give the highest price in the market, and you will never get your full deposit back.

I found Debbie at Lanes Sales & Lettings MK to be professional and efficient when we were selling our property. With Dave's enthusiasm and energy and Debbie's patience and negotiating skills they are a formidable team. From advice on presenting the property, getting viewings, negotiating with buyers and then liaising with the solicitors, Debbie took a lot of stress out of the whole process. I can't thank her enough. I would highly recommend Lanes.

My wife and I can't speak highly enough of our experience with Lanes Estate Agents, Milton Keynes. We were so fortunate to have found Lanes when we moved to Milton Keynes, most of the time we were assisted by Laura Hughes. She is brilliant, extremely responsive and very pro-active on communicating with us and helped us find the right apartment in the right neighbourhood for the right price to rent.
During all the process we had the chance to interact with the other members of the team and we can guarantee that all of them are fantastic. In short, they have been always on our side working to make our beautiful apartment as simple and successful as possible that met our needs. We couldn't be happier with how we have been treated.
Lastly, we would recommend Lanes to anyone.

We recently sold our house through Debbie at Lanes. She was absolutely fantastic, right from the valuation through to completion. Her communication was amazing, she kept us informed every step of the way. Her advice was valued, and she clearly has a lot of experience. The rest of the team were also very helpful, friendly and approachable. I'd highly recommend Lanes for your sales or Lettings requirements.

Used the Lanes managed property service for 12+ years. Found them very efficient and they provided very good long term tenants. More recently sold two houses with them and again, very efficient and hands on, especially as both sales were quite difficult through no fault of Lanes. Thanks to Craig and Louise who were my most recent contact points.

I have been using Lanes Rentals for the past 14 years. They have taken care of my property and provided excellent service. As an overseas landlord, knowing that my property is in safe hands is paramount. Last week I was in Milton Keynes searching for a second Buy-To-Let property, and Lanes really amazed me with how helpful and proactive they were, helping me scout and evaluate the rental potential of alternative properties.
I know my investment will be in safe hands with Lanes. Special thanks to Laura, Dave, Mandy, Anne and the team for consistently exceeding my expectations. The epitome of professionalism, reliability, care and excellent service.
