The worst agency ever. They have posted it and straight away I was calling regarding the property and the lady who managed it she was not available the whole day. Next day I called in the morning and she told me she already has 6 views and …
Thank you for your review. The property in which you enquired about has been on the market for three days. Unfortunately the market is very busy at the moment and therefore viewing slots are being taken up on stock. Apologies you couldn't … More

This agency is not recommended for students, they take advantage of your lack of knowledge & abuse their power. Kai - the property manager was very argumentative over the phone when trying to deal with a situation, he is not very helpful. …

My experience during my tenancy was fairly standard for a letting agent, unresponsive and generally unhelpful. To be expected. …

This is probably the worst letting agency in the city. The staff is extremely unhelpful, arrogant and ridiculously rude. I let an apartment in Jewellery Quarter with them and I have ended up with the worst possible experience in my 5 years …

Called to ask about a house on Bull Street which had advertised three bedrooms of which one was a double. I said we were interested on behalf of another party mainly because of its location. I asked for the size of the other two rooms in …
Thank you for your review. Having looked into this for you, we note that the property is advertised as two double bedrooms and one single. Had a floor plan been available it would be on … More

I had a really good experience with Crux. Lorenzo kept in constant communications with me and ensured I was constantly kept in the loop about everything. This resulted with me being offered the job at one of the top Real Estate Agencies and …

I had a viewing booked with them for a property to let. On the day they cancelled the viewing due to one agent being off sick and the other overworked . Naturally anyone can understand and be flexible in those circumstances so the viewing was re-booked. My husband and I took time off work to attend the viewing that they re-booked, but by that time the property had already been let and they did not bother to inform us as we sat in the car outside the property. When I rang they said they had no record of our viewing (the one they themselves re-scheduled due to their own issues).

All the staff are great. They are friendly and knowledgeable. Without taking anything away from the team I feel that I must take time to give special mention to Katie who is simply amazing. Her responsiveness, professionalism, knowledge, reliability, friendliness, punctuality…I could go on, cannot go unsung. One in a million. Every office needs a Katie!!

Many thanks to Abigail for everything that she did to secure our purchase. We are hugely appreciative of all of her support but I particularly want to thank her for finding the property in the first place. I doubt it would ever have happened if it wasn’t for her introducing us to the vendor at a point when the house was not yet back on the market following COVID-19 lockdown.

Pleasant and smooth experience! Saw the apartment, booked it/agreed, all documents and verification were done online timely. Moved within 20 days from viewing. Nice and detailed documentation, inventory, continuous support and assistance. Special thanks to Megan Johnson. Post move support was excellent and always got reply and response from John Shepherd. An all star experience indeed. Location: Birmingham, UK

Rented a property to myself without telling me that the only entrance pathway to the property had an ongoing flooding issue, to include drainage smells under heavy rainfall and was dangerous at best, a nightmare to get home to and they 100% knew this and still let out the property!!! Withholding information is illegal, and it was reported to them by the previous tenant, reason why she left. Therefore they have infact breached their own contract and also the landlord knew as the issue dated back 15yrs! Property dirty on arrival with rubbish left behind all documented, I would say to avoid this company at any cost. Problems reported took far too long to get fixed predominantly and some never got fixed! Will be pursuing them for compensation in 2022 so can I recommend....absolutely not.NegativeProfessionalism

I was looking for an Trainee Letting Negotiator jobs everywhere, out of the blue I get a call from a man called Lorenzo who has been trying to contact me all week. He tells me that he's got the perfect opportunity and wants to book an interview for me asap. Long story short, I got the job. if it wasn't for Lorenzo, id still be looking. Thank you. highly recommend.
Hello Ryan, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are delighted that Lorenzo was able to help you with your new opportunity. Congratulations on your new role! We are always happy to help and pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service.
