The lettings team were incredibly responsive, and went above and beyond in sorting out our lease. They made the process straight forward and transparent. We are very happy with their service.

The letting agent showing me around was very open and didn't try any pushy sales technique. They understood the landlord's needs and tenant's in finding the right match.

After months of house hunting, me and my partner came across a listing from Finn's. Since the viewing they've been helpful in explaining everything about the application process and now that we moved in, they are always ready to help us with all the queries we have. Highly recommended!

I am pleased to give a 5 star rating to Finn’s Estate Agent. I have had the pleasure of dealing with them in particular Leigh-Ann on several occasions over the past year and she has always without fail been highly professional, kind and thoughtful in her manner to us, very quick to respond to all queries and in a very comprehensive highly knowledgeable manner. Nothing is too much trouble and I value her & Finn’s hugely.

*DISCRIMINATION* at it's worst, being told property not suitable for my son's (condition) Also being told (properties not suitable for you) Preventing property viewing and telling me that just because you call first dosnt mean you can view (Don't bother with property alerts then?) So glad I had calls on speaker phone as witnessed by special needs social worker and now been advised to take this to Property Ombudsman! *Awful experience*

JodisDream · 14 April 2023 · Finns Canterbury

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

We've taken a look into your complaint and believe we've been helpful in showing you properties. The final decision will always rest with the landlords. We are happy to continue working with you to find a suitable rental home for you and we understand you have a viewing booked with us for next week.

Don’t use this estate agent unless you know them! They don’t treat applicants fairly and prioritise their “friends” over anyone else! They have basically lied to me over the last week saying my application would be considered and no viewings were happening when the neg was doing viewings while off sick (with covid!) and the property had already gone. Very dishonest way to run a business even by estate agent standards. Would not trust them one bit! P.S! Following Finns “response”, I whole heartedly disagree! How you can say a property suits one person more than another is impossible if you never even considered anyone else! Offering 1 person a viewing and having the office tell EVERY OTHER APPLICANT there are no viewings as the neg is “off sick” (clearly well enough to offer one person a viewing) is underhanded and dishonest! So yes - FINNS do lie!

Michelle · 14 April 2023 · Finns Canterbury

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

Hi Michelle. I've looked into this and I'm pleased to reassure you that our team didn't mislead you. We introduced this property to a recent applicant (for a different property), but thought this one would suit them better. It was a good opportunity to bring an ideal tenant together with a great landlord - even while our agent was unwell. Please don't be put off of applying for Finn's managed properties - if there's an opportunity to match make tenants, properties and landlords, we think that's a proactive, helpful way to work.

I was told I had to move out of my flat after living there for 15 years, with three months notice; quite a frightening situation, especially in today's economic environment. But within 2 months I had found my dream home and signed my tenancy lease. I have been so impressed by the estate agent Lisa Banford's approach to helping me find a home; it has been a friendly, relaxed and an efficient experience. I also found the Finns' email alerts helpful and the website easy to use and see quickly if there's anything suitable. As a tenant, I highly recommend Finns and Lisa Bamford. Many thanks; I'm so happy in my new home! Kate Beaugié January 2023

We make continuous efforts to provide an inclusive and fair service to all our tenants and landlords. We understand how frustrating it can be to look for a rental property in a fast-moving competitive market. From information provided at each initial inquiry, our team endeavours to give some feedback and insight on likely success at referencing and final landlords’ decision as people often find that helpful. We did invite you to register your details with us and you are still welcome to do so.

Hi Callum. You had enquired about a very popular property. We had a long list of viewings in the diary and in the course of a very busy day, we failed to reply to you. We can see how frustrating that must have been and can only apologise to you.

Nobody answers the phone. I have to fill in masses of information and give all my details over before they answer a simple question. In response to your reply. I have double checked and it was most definitely you. My contact would have come in via the website and the reply sent to my e-mail. You wouldn't have had either of those to be able to check them. I was just asking if a guarantor would be acceptable and received a reply stating to organise a viewing I would need to give an awful lot of information. I called several times to say that I did not need to arrange a viewing just yet just a query but no response. This was terribly disappointing as the property is now stc. I have 7 years in my current property that my Landlord wishes to sell, which we have added value to and never missed a rental payment and was looking for a home that we would be in for at least 7, most likely 10 years due to the high school my children won't be starting at for another 5 years.
