Chaotic letting agent Stath needs to impress his dad (and boss) Vasos and let some flats, after losing his patience and pushing a customer. However, he struggles to pick up the phone as fast as the other agents to arrange viewings. In an act of desperation he steals a viewing from arch rival Carole but things don't go to plan. Meanwhile, Stath's sister Sophie is left to take Al to hospital after a nasty accident in the office.

First Look
A first look at Stath, a comedy about an incompetent lettings agent.
Featuring: Jamie Demetriou (Stath), Fergus Craig (Lawrence), Sona Vyas (Helen) & Phoebe Walsh (Debbie).
Press
Creator Jamie Demetriou's eponymous Stath, incompetent and impulsive and ambitious in equal measure, is desperate to prove himself in the estate agent business to his Greek-Cypriot father. It's a lovely timely take on the madnesses of the London-innit property market ("Two beds, spacious with a cooling draught, £1,750 pcm") in which the poor tenant will always come last, if not be accidentally assaulted. Stath's mix of charmlessness and utter desire to please is a comedy stalwart given a fresh Greco-Cyprian twist: and it spritzes and froths away, ably aided by an ensemble cast that features Demetriou's sister Natasia.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 1st July 2018Stath Lets Flats review
This show was that bad that I am not sure how it ever got commissioned in the first place.
Andy Lloyd, Telly Binge, 1st July 2018How funny can the world of lettings be?
Stath Lets Flats certainly paints an old school picture of lettings but I would think the jury is out on whether this really reflects today's world of agency or even classic comedy.
Marc Shoffman, Property Industry Eye, 28th June 2018Created by Jamie Demetriou (and co-written by Robert "Friday Night Dinner" Popper), this new comedy set in the lettings agency world looks highly promising. Demetriou stars as Stath, desperate to prove himself to his Greek-Cypriot father but hampered by his incompetence and impulsive behaviour, which tonight includes borderline physical assault on a client. Much of the comedy rings all too true, particularly on the subject of the dismal state of London properties to let for the thick end of two grand.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 27th June 2018Stath Lets Flats review
There's plenty to like in Jamie Demetriou's new comedy, but I'm going to need another viewing before exchanging contracts.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 27th June 2018Stath Lets Flats, Channel 4, review
A fixer-upper with potential.
Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 27th June 2018Stath Lets Flats, Channel 4, review
Roared along with energy and absurdity, like London's property market.
Elisa Bray, i Newspaper, 27th June 2018TV preview: Stath Lets Flats, C4
It's about time C4 had a brand new hit. Marc Wootton's High & Dry didn't quite hit the spot, but maybe Stath Lets Flats is the one. I wouldn't let Stath anywhere near my flat but I'll watch him on my television. Through my fingers mostly.
