Communication poor , never responds to calls, unprofessional. Can not give feed back on a property im buying and why it's taking to long 5 months. Im now at a point my buyers are thinking about pulling out.

This was my first experience renting and Palmer and Partners made the whole experience very easy. I had no issues throughout and when it came time to move on the checkout procedure was made very clear. I had the pleasure of dealing with Rachel for the checkout who did an excellent job.

Very poor service from when we signed the letting agreement, was offered a discount only for the agent to put on extras so this voided any discount. The contracts were drawn up and sent out wrong twice to tenants. Never replied to emails or phone calls, if you a stress free service I would definitely avoid Palmer & Partners.

Not great. Slow and communications are shoddy. Unless you’re paying them money they’re very poor to deal with

Personally I have never had any time for estate agents because of there attitude. The Ladies I have dealt with at Palmers are the total exception, very honest, caring and extremely helpful. I would recommend Lucy, Jan and Claire to anyone. Thankyou for your help in our move and trust you will continue to help other clients.

Buying a house through them, Jess was able to instantly clear a logjam with my conveyancer with a single phonecall, and now I'm about to reach completion 2 months earlier than my conveyancer suggested! Always courteous, helpful, and reachable on the phone. Good estate agents deserve the credit.

My experience with Palmer & Partners…

My experience with Palmer & Partners Ipswich regarding a rental was deeply disappointing. I was originally told a mid-to-late August move-in date would be fine, only to later receive a call insisting on early August, with no flexibility or acknowledgment of prior communication. Also for the viewing, the agent didn’t even turn up. Thankfully, the site manager, who was not part of the agency, was professional and kind and showed me round but Unfortunately afterwards, the agency’s own communication was curt and unclear throughout not even apologizing for not turning up for the viewing. When I flagged a small error in my application about my date of birth , I was met with impatience. In the end after politely withdrawing saying that I cannot proceed due to the conflicting move-in expectations, I received a bounce-back message from the original application form submission, suggesting that I’d been blocked from their mailing list. I hadn’t been rude at any stage, but was made to feel like I was wasting their time, despite the disruption and effort on my part for open and honest communications. My application for the flat felt like an inconvenience to them.

Refused to accept offer until we spoke to in house broker

This goes back two years, but I thought it might be helpful to others. We had sold our home, had a mortgage arranged via a broker, conveyancer also in place. We wanted to offer on a property we had viewed, we were asked about finances, we said yes please do contact out registered broker who will confirm we have the finances proceed. They refused to forward our offer to the vendor of the property we wanted until we had spoken to their in house broker. This broker took a very long time to contact us l, a very stressful situation, in the end we didn't buy via Palmers. We watched the panorama programme last night and it it reminded us of this so thought it would help others to state what happened. At the time we thought the insinuation was that we were lying about out finances or that the broker we had was, now we wonder if something else was actually happening

If I could put a minus

If I could put a minus, I would. Absolutely useless, they valued my property and within 2 weeks they were telling me to lower the price by £75k!!!! When I asked why, they said the person who valued the property doesn't know the area, and over valued it. They never return calls or do a courtesy call once a fortnight as promised when the house went on the market, I spoke to woman who lives in the next road to me, who also had her house up for sale with them, and took it off with palmers, and put it on with another agent, due to the same reasons. I was told at the time, they had lots of people on there books, looking for a property like mine, I didn't get one viewing or enquiry or even a courtesy call to keep me in the loop. Very poor customer service and would advise not to use this agent.

customer waited 30 min estate agent did not turn up at all.

We had our house on the market with them for approx. month or so they produced as single viewing, the buyer showed up on time and the estate agent did not show at all, the customer left after 30 minutes waiting and was not seen again. No explanation was given, that's what I call business sense!
