TrustpilotWe are extremely pleased with the…well chuffed
We are extremely pleased with the tireless work on not only the sale off house but the purchase off our new home. Luly and her team were brilliant throughout kept us updated and pushed our solicitor constantly. They made buying and selling as stress free as possible.

GoogleCatherine at Peter Alan has been absolutely exceptional. She has consistently gone above and beyond to help me resolve any issues with my rental property, always responding quickly and checking back to make sure I am completely happy with the outcome. Her attention to detail, patience and genuine care have made such a difference, especially during a period when my days have been so full on that I barely had time to breathe. Catherine has been the person who truly supported me through everything and I’m extremely grateful for her dedication and professionalism. Thank you also to the wider Peter Alan team. Catherine, in particular, has been exceptionally supportive and deserves special recognition.

TrustpilotPeter Alan - A poor choice.
Completely incompetent staff working for this company. Appalling communication. Staff don't answer calls, they do not respond to emails and take hundreds of pounds in fees but in return, offer a terrible service. I have made a complaint with the company but they have not even acknowledged the complaint, that is how poor their service is. Numerous calls and emails sent to various teams in the company with no response. Website states they are experts at what they do with 60 years of experience. Peter Alan are not to be trusted, they cannot effectively sell or let your property as they do not care about their customers. Customers are just revenue to them.

TrustpilotWent in for a brochure. Left with fictional geography lessons and 8 secret digital pen pals
If you enjoy being lied to, having your time aggressively wasted, and being hunted down like a fugitive by mortgage brokers, I highly recommend the Peter Alan experience.I popped in for a simple brochure for a property advertised in "Radyr." What followed was a hostage-length conversation with an agent describing a location in the "back and beyond." After some intense decoding, the truth came out: it wasn't in Radyr. It was structurally dumped at the back of Llandaff North.She enthusiastically pitched it as a "wonderful, scenic location." I turned up and found it dead in the middle of a council estate, looking like it had been violently stuffed into the back of an industrial estate. No view. No charm. Absolute catfishing. How can you trust an estate agent who tells you a concrete jungle is the Swiss Alps?As a single parent, my criteria weren't exactly a riddle: a safe, nice area around Radyr (like Danescourt, Radyr Gardens, Creigiau, or Llantrisant Road) with a garden, driveway, and good square footage. I explicitly stated absolutely no bad areas or council estates. Instead, I got a magical mystery tour of an industrial estate.But the real comedy sketch was their aggressive data harvesting. I looked her dead in the eye and said: "Do not put me on any mailing lists." She practically gave me a pinky-promise. Blatant lie.Cue the 48-hour harassment campaign:Day 1: A man calls trying to sell me everything short of a timeshare. I demand my details be removed. He promises he'll do it. (Spoiler: He did not).Day 2: A woman calls to aggressively pitch me a mortgage. I went in for a single piece of paper, not a 30-year financial commitment!Tonight: My inbox explodes with mortgage advice and "exciting company options."To top off the madness, their spam emails don't even feature a standard unsubscribe button. I had to solve a digital escape room just to escape: hunt down a preferences page, type my email to get a link, click the link, and type my email again just to log in. Once inside, I discovered they had secretly subscribed me to over eight different mailing lists.I am completely flabbergasted. I didn't ask for a new lifestyle, an industrial hike, or eight new automated best friends. I just wanted a brochure. Absolutely ridiculous.

TrustpilotPlease avoid this company if you are a…
Please avoid this company if you are a landlord. They let our property out to a tenant who destroyed our home. The tenant had moved not only a new partner in without us being informed but also a large dog which has left a considerable amount of faeces everywhere. The damage she caused within 6 months has cost thousands of pounds to rectify. Meanwhile the tenant failed to pay rent for the majority of this period therefore leaving us in considerable financial difficulty. Despite taking their % every month, Peter Alan failed to carry out any checks of the property during this time and later stated they only did this 'once a year.' We were told upon instructing them to manage the property that checks would be done quarterly. They have since refused to chase our missing rent money after the tenant moved out stating it was 'no longer their problem.' They took no forwarding address for her, therefore we cannot look to pursue this ourselves. On the day she moved out, Peter Alan took new prospective tenants into the property that same evening. We hadnt seen the property at this point, neither were we told about the state of it including a rat infestation due to rotten food waste. The property was in no way habitable yet Peter Alan were willing to continue showing viewers around without asking us first. The staff are always rude, unhelpful and extremely unprofessional. They have completely refused to accept responsibility for the lack of management of the property but happily took our money every month. Needless to say we are pursuing this company civilly for failing to manage the property and for not carrying out a service they were paid for.

TrustpilotWorst estate agents ever pity I couldn't give it a minus 5
Absolutely disgusted with these people I rented a flat out with them which was full of mould and damp and made my asthma worse which hospitalised me on 3 different occasions I was told I could give a months notice to leave so when I did that they accepted it via email and then lied to say I couldn't leave early and now they got the cheek to try and charge me extra rent when I had already left and they had told me prior to the months notice that all I had to do was either email or in writing my months notice so I emailed them and they took ages answering back roughly 2 weeks to reply to an email basically saying I can't leave and I would be liable to pay rent right up until the end of the contract which is disgusting nothing but lies from these people and I have it all saved and now TDS wants to look into it because I tried requesting my bond back and they are trying to claim for rent absolutely fuming with these none of these people deserve a job because they obviously can't do it properly worst estate agents ever and I would never in a million years recommend these to anyone I want my bond money you thieves it's my money not yours and you can claim for rent all you want but you accepted my months notice and then changed it so all this is your fault and I will keep on fighting this you don't deserve my money PETER ALAN should be shut down immediately

GoogleGenuinely ecstatic about my new place. Catherine has been the most understanding and patient agent I've ever worked with, and the friendliest. I also had the pleasure of working with Dan in Cat's absence, who was nothing but gentlemanly. My thanks to all at Peter Alan, and to them specifically.

Becoming a useless company’s makes you to think you got a long term tenancy and then when needed to move due to children and needing more room and then when you need to find another home before the tenancy finishes the sales reps just step on each other toes and no team work in the company, rather give other people that ain’t needing the room for bedrooms to people with no children

GoogleValuation appointment booked for Midday. Still no courtesy call to say Lee is running late at 13:08. My wife has had to go out, having spent two days getting the property ready and I have wasted an hour's lunch break, waiting. They were really poor in getting back to us for arranging an earlier viewing, by which time the owners had accepted an offer. They are overloaded with calls on mornings and then don't check with each other as to whether they have already called someone about their missed calls and I got 2 extra unnecessary calls whilst at the office. I now wouldn't let them sell my dog's basket and hope I don't have to buy from their advertised stock.

Not worthy a 1 star,after weeks of no responses to calls eventually emailed which these people are now saying is the first contact, they will talk over you until you eventually raise your voice to talk back over them when they won't listen at which point you are called rude and they hang up, how they have managed to carry on as a business is beyond me, avoid at all costs

TrustpilotAwful experience
The worst estate agent I have ever dealt with. As a buyer and a professional in the residential property field, I was appalled at the awful service given by Peter Alan. I had to resend essential information multiple times, chase up their ‘sales progressor’ to reply to my emails and when I spoke to the sales progressor on the phone, the rude and passive aggressive tone she used was beyond unprofessional. The team didn’t even have the decency to respond to my emails at a critical points in the transaction and on the day of completion, they didn’t even bother to tell me we had completed! If I could give them zero stars I would and if I ever sell my house, I will never use Peter Alan as the sales agent.

I moved into a property with promise that the rear garden would be fixed up to standard. Upon moving in, it was still overgrown. I reported a toilet that would not flush, which took them a week to send someone out to fix (no compensation). Black mould and damp, front door not fit for purpose, heating dial not working during freezing winter. Overall, an absolute nightmare. Would give zero if possible.

TrustpilotPoor communication
One star is extremely generous, Upon on viewing the property we were promised that renovation works would be carried out on the rear garden, we have emailed for an update of when works are expected to commence numerous time but been ignored every time. We are also having issues with damp/mould and a woodlice infestation but they don’t seem to care about sorting that. I have filed a complaint to which I have been told to wait upto 15 working days for a response so basically at least 3 more weeks of living in a damp mouldy infested house.

TrustpilotNot the best
Very hard to get through to one the phone. Never any feedback after viewings, video camera showed estate agent outside with a viewer and the other people with the viewer inside alone unsupervised. Then something in my house was tampered by viewers inside the house while the EA is outside. Very disappointed.

GooglePeter Alan was really helpful to find a new home, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Catherine and Christopher, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure the process was smooth and stress-free. Catherine was incredibly responsive and attentive, always available to answer my questions and provide valuable insights. Her expertise and friendly demeanor made me feel confident and supported throughout my search. Christopher was equally outstanding. His professionalism and dedication were evident in every interaction, making the entire experience seamless. Thanks to Catherine and Christopher's hard work and commitment, I found the perfect home. Their team is simply the best!!!

TrustpilotThe perfect Scam
Once again Peter Alan is still the market leaders in conning the public when buying property. There new Modern Auction is a prime example. The fees they charge, a 4% none refundable deposit. Legal pack not worth the stamp (£350.00). I would only trust my solicitor. And that being an independent one.Hats off to Peter Alan coming up with a brilliant scam.This is one agent I would never purchase a property from.

GoogleOur experience with Peter alan has been second to none. Very professional and friendly with a family atmosphere. Lee has been brilliant with us .He’s been very helpful and reassuring with helping us from day one. Jessica has been brilliant with us also. Her enthusiasm is something you can’t buy. Very friendly and professional. She has been a welcomed addition to the team.The whole team have been brilliant with us and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Thanks. Wendi and david

GoogleHad the best experience as my first time renting through Peter Alan and I can't honestly thank Cath and Chris enough for all their help and support taking the stress out of moving into my new home. Clear communication right the way through and whenever I needed a callback it was basically straight away. Eventhough I was designed to be awkward and practically turned you both grey you made the whole process so easy for me. I can't thank you enough for all your help and becoming newfound friends and neighbours now! Love you both. You're the best ❤️ P.S let me know the bill for the hairdressers. Sozz for turning you both grey🤣🤣🤣

TrustpilotExpensive Pests, Avoid!!!
I had a valuation from Peter Alan around the middle of 2025. Firstly, they wildly over-estimated the value of my property in order to get my custom, and secondly they were asking for fees in excess of four grand for their services. I was horrified by their fee, which was not even nearly competitive with other estate agencies. Plus they absolutely would NOT take no for an answer when I chose someone else to sell my house. Peter Alan phoned me at least eight times after I notified them I did not want their services and I expressly requested that they remove my name from their systems every time they called. But no, they kept calling and pestering me for at least five months, sometimes with up to three calls a week. I've now been living in my new house for two months and I've just taken yet ANOTHER call!!!! At this point, I'm seriously considering calling the police and reporting them for harassment. It's just ridiculous that they won't leave me alone. I find their sales tactics to be unnecessarily aggressive, they clearly don't listen and they charge double what others charge for the privilege. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! This estate agency is an absolute nightmare.

Ebbw vale estate agentsOur experience has been fantastic. Couldn’t fault the manager Brenda. She’s been so helpful and very quick with any responses to any queries. Very quick in organising the paper work for us to move in as soon as possible. Chloe was also very helpful and helped answer any questions and ensured the paper work was sent over as quickly as possible. Did have an issue with the boiler but the issue was resolved within a few hours. Fantastic team and hopefully it continues. Very happy with the service and it’s a beautiful house.
