Great service when getting our property from them recently. Excellent communication and contactless 'paperwork' which kept us all safe. Wonderful service from start to finish, thank you 😊 …

What a breath of fresh air this BnB was. Enjoyed every minute of our stay. The room was absolutely spotless, and Kevin the proprietor looked after the guests very well. I fully recommend this BnB. This is one that has done everything right, even down to the mugs in the bedroom. Well done Kevin spot on and a big thank you from us.

Very unprofessional staff with little communication skills! Tried to insinuate that myself and partner were responsible for not securing a house, because we did not follow up a viewing the previous day by us contacting the estate agent, giving feedback. I have not known an estate agent who did not follow up a viewing on behalf of their client.In addition, we were not giving the opportunity to submit an offer or to better the offer already accepted! Poor service! Thank you for your reply! I initially contacted your company by phone on Monday morning asking if I could view a property. After your initial reply indicating that you could not contact vendor, I waited until the following mid-morning for a response, after no response, I decided to contact your office again.The information regarding preferred viewing times apparently was not known to your staff member, although all my details and viewing preferences were confirmed at initial phone call. In addition, your email confirming said viewing had the wrong date. At no time did you contact me after the viewing by phone or email. I appreciate your indication of your busy workload but you have sadly failed on this occasion below your apparent high standards.

I refute your statement above, there is not a single unprofessional member of staff within Donald Ross Estate Agents we are in the top 3% of estate agents in the UK awarded to us by Rightmove. Mr Clark you called the office yesterday afternoon on the day after your evening appointment at a property that has had 23 viewers in a few days, we call/email EVERY viewer for feedback throughout the course of the following day and we work each night until that job is completed. However, if a viewer is of a mind to make an offer for a property of their choice the normal course of action would be that the viewer would either a) contact their solicitor as soon as they are open to make an offer or at least note interest in said property or b) call the agent as soon as possible to make a verbal offer. You did neither, and another viewer took that course of action and secured the house they wanted. As I advised you on our phone call, the market is moving so quickly if you like a property then let the agent or your solicitor know as soon as you possibly can. Best regards in securing your next property.

After 5 months of not selling selling house, they want a Β£500 cancelling fee for NOT selling your home, this is after already paying them hundreds of pounds in marketing fees. Then block your own property on Rightmove to stop you from switching to a different agent. They then re-list the property that you have purchased from them as a new listing trying to sell to someone else. NOT IMPRESSED WITH THIS COMPANY !!!!NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value
