Please DO NOT RENT FROM PALMERS AND PATNERS. They will NEVER EVER RETURN YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT. They are preparing fake check out reports and complaining your property is not in professional cleanliness when you left it and they will hold your whole security deposit. It’s your hard worked money. It’s a big mafia now.

Ashani · 26 June 2024 · Palmer & Partners, Suffolk

Agent replied · 24 October 2024

Hi Ashani We understand that security deposits are a significant concern for tenants, and we take this matter very seriously. At Palmers and Partners, we adhere to a strict and transparent process when handling deposit returns. Our check-out reports are conducted by independent professionals to ensure objectivity and accuracy. In cases where there are discrepancies, such as property cleanliness or damage, we follow the guidelines set by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, an impartial third-party adjudication service. This service ensures that both landlords and tenants receive a fair resolution based on the evidence provided, in this case a property inspection. We do not retain any deposits ourselves; all decisions are based on the Tenancy Deposit Scheme’s thorough review and ruling. Palmer & Partner’s were not involved in the decision making when it comes to how the deposit is awarded. The Tenancy Deposit Scheme would have also sent you their adjudication report on how they reached their decision.

I spoke with three estate agents before deciding on Palmer & Partners to manage the sale of my house. Their knowledge of the area and market was top notch, viewings were arranged quickly, and I secured a satisfactory price based on their valuation. Communications were great end to end, and I'm very happy to recommend them for property sales.

We have just bought our first home through Palmer and Partners. The experience was excellent all throughout from the viewing, to communication with the sellers, and completion. Ollie was super helpful and answered any question we had. His responses were always very timely and polite and no question was too much trouble. We had some pretty bad experiences with other estate agents in the house house finding process so we have been incredibly happy with the attention and detail paid to our purchase. I would gladly use Palmer and Partners in future.

I have had a fantastic experience with Palmer & Partners. Right from the very start they have been incredibly efficient - turning up at the times they said they would - returning all calls and E Mails in very good time - chasing both parties to ensure action was being taken - and keeping me very well informed at every stage. Particular thanks to Hayley for all of this. A fantastic effort by them and despite some difficulties, they helped me get the sale over the line.

I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Palmers and Partners for more than 6 years, and I must say, their team is exceptional. Their knowledge is profound, and as a tenant, I've never felt overlooked or relegated to second place. Whenever I've needed support, they've been there for me without delay. Their staff members are consistently polite and efficient. I can't recommend them highly enough. Unlike some other agencies I've dealt with, where customers are treated merely as numbers, Palmers and Partners genuinely value you. Thank you to the whole team, especially Rhianna, for their outstanding work! Semra
