GoogleI have used choices on 3 occasions now selling my own home plus a buy to let I had and recently my parents home. Nicola, Matthew and the team have taken the stress out of selling my properties keeping in touch on a regular basis so I know exactly what’s going on. Best of all on each sale the price I achieved met with my expectations. Keep up the good work and thank you once again.

GoogleFrom the moment of the first call with them, they were very professional and not very pushy! Michael showed us 4 properties and took the time to drive us around and we were really pleased with the experience. From the moment we put the offer and it was accepted everything went really smooth. Gabriella and her team are great and helped us throughout the process! We are very happy with our first home now! 100% recommended!

Dear Blana Martin,
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate the time in your comment.
I would personally like to help you with this matter, and ensure that the outstanding query is dealt with immediately so that you are happy. I have just search our Croydon office system, and I can't seem to find your name, it may be in relation to another branch within the Choices group. However, I do want to help you.
Please can you contact me directly, on 0208 680 1414 or email me at danielthornton@choices.co.uk.
I hope that this is ok, and I look forward to hearing from you.
With warmest regards,
Daniel Thornton

GoogleCHOICES Estate Agent (www dot choices dot co dot uk) is a worst letting agent I’ve seen so far. 100% NOT RECOMMENDED TO ANYONE. They are not even deserved for ANY RATING and they are best suited for 0 (ZERO) Rating. They are highly reluctant when refunding the customers deposit while they collect the advance rent and deposit upfront before we check-in the property. I checked out the property 6 EAST PARK, Crawley RH10 6AS and did several follow ups (47 conversations) with the customer care and the guy (Crawley and Horsham Portfolio Manager) who has been allotted for me, but the answer I got from them was ‘we are progressing, etc.’. I’m highly frustrated and disappointed for not getting proper response from CHOICES.
A very poor customer service of no use in customers point of view. A very little effort has been taken by Crawley and Horsham Portfolio Manager, that too with 47 E-Mail communications in between us, though most of E-Mails cc'd to customer services who never bothered about my E-Mail on refunding my deposit. They have few landline numbers which are useless as they won’t connect straight away, luckily I got connected to SENIOR Crawley and Horsham Portfolio Manager who did the partial refund of my deposit, though it’s partial refund I appreciate her as she did the partial refund in 1st call.
When I ask the landlord for this property, he says that he communicated to CHOICES to release the fund and his duty is over. He won’t bother much as his property will be in the business in a day or 2 after I check out. The landlord for this property would approve the deduction that the Letting Estate Agent CHOICES recommends, even CHOICES recommend a deduction of complete 100% deposit the landlord would immediately approve because he gets money easily and approving is an easy job.
At 58th of E-Mail communications in between me and Choices, I received my overpaid refund, after 29 days (nearly 1 month). Why should I take so much pain and beg with CHOICES Real Estate to get my (tenants) money back.
I question CHOICES and the landlord of 6 East Park: You take no pain and no delay when collecting the money from tenants, but why are you too much reluctant in giving back them to tenants? Does it mean that the tenant’s money is cheap or you think that tenants would be left helpless (once they checked out the property) except begging with you guys to get our money. Don’t do that. Just be fair with the tenants.
I advise these types of letting agents CHOICES and greedy landlords for not to misuse the tenants advance rent and the deposit. Be genuine while you calculate the deduction for taking incorrect information from letting agent. I’ve mentioned few of the below things that Choices deducted for.
• Lights £20, claiming £5 for each 28w halogen light when they available 2 for £1 shops
• Cleaning cost for £200 when the house is checked out so clean
• £30 Safety catches on the cooker
• Renewal fee: £95
• Inventory fee: £95
• £30 for a stain on the small curtain.
In total: £470
The safety related things are to be taken care by landlord while tenant can ensure that there is no safety related issue, if any then the tenant will report to landlord. The property was checked out so clean with weekly maintenance and proper cleaning, but still the landlord approves the cleaning cost £200 recommended by CHOICES. Luckily I did take photos when I checked out and I’ve sent the photos of the property to the landlord of 6 East Part just to show clean it is. He must realise.
Is this fair to collect £200 for cleaning or this money is for renovating the house?
I advise the CHOICES Real Estate and the landlord to sensibly think and calculate while deducting the money from tenants from their deposit or overpaid rent.
DO NOT MISUSE THE TENANT’S DEPOSIT AND OVERPAID RENT.

GoogleHaving lived in a Choices let property for a year (and many other rented London houses with different agents before), I would not recommend going with Choices. On leaving, the agents attempted to add multiple unjustifiable charges and additional rent twice over. While staff within the branch are professional, communication internally seems lacking and they seem to add additional unexpected charges as a matter of course. While these charges have since been dropped, the extra stress and time dealing with Choices is not worth it.

We are sorry you have been unhappy with the service you have received, however, you must understand we act on behalf of our landlord and sometimes, at the end of a tenancy there are disputes about the amount of dilapidations and damages due, which is why there is a disputes service to settle these matters. We accept that sometimes checkout can be a stressful time but it isn’t always something we can control. If you send us further details we can look into your case and respond more specifically
