This review is for Byron Eacock mortgage consultant. We had seen two mortgage advisors before Byron and we felt they weren't helpful at all and any questions we asked as first time buyers we felt we were made to feel stupid. We then had a meeting with Byron and he went above and beyond for us from the start and nothing was too much effort. Honestly an amazing service from Byron, and he got us a great mortgage deal (a lot better than the other two advisors offered) He has made the whole process as first time buyers as relaxing as it can be, and was there every step of the way. We will definitely be using Byron again in the future when needed. Thanks Byron.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

From start to finish RA Bennett kept me informed on a regular basis. Even throughout the Covid pandemic they were able to arrange viewings. The whole process went pretty smoothly and the staff were extremely polite with nothing being too much trouble for them. Would definitely use their business again should I move in the future.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Byron Eacock mortgage consultant, arranged our new mortgage for us. He was brilliant, got us an amazing deal, explained everything to us at every stage so we knew what was happening. He sorted out our building and contents insurance to as we were paying way over the odds. It was so hassle free and was arranged very quickly. We will definitely be consulting Byron again in the future.PositiveQuality, Professionalism, Value

My wife and I recently bought a property in Fladbury through RA Bennett and we could not have been more pleased with the service from Natasha at the Evesham office. Professional, friendly, clearly knew her profession and also the local area and helped us with an issue further down the chain which she didn't have to do but did and really helped bring the chain to a conclusion. Would highly recommend Natasha and the team for anyone looking to put the property on the market.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Having put our house on the market in February 2020 we had no idea what was about to happen! Thankfully Jenna, Natasha and Amelia were on hand every step of the way. The team did what they could to make it all as pain free as possible and were always on the end of the phone or email. They were all professional but also kind and reassuring. We can not thank them all enough for all their support from start to finish.PositiveProfessionalism

We sold our house through them last year, they were OK, though we felt a bit like they didn't have our best interests at heart. We dealt with Jenna, and while she was pleasent enough, things didn't go particularly well. Firstly, she tried to charge us an extra fee (~£200) for our photos, despite RA Bennetts' fees being the highest in the area. We disputed this, and managed to get the fee dropped, which we were happy with as an outcome, but feel that for the sake of the transparency of the review that others should be made aware. It took a while to sell, despite their promises to sell quickly. After making us drop our price, we eventually sold, below the revised asking price. As the sale went on, Jenna got us to drop our price even further, "to maintain our buyer," but we felt like we were badgered to do so. This was particularly galling, as their fees were fixed, meaning we lost money, while they didn't! We felt that they were more interested in the buyer, than us, which isn't what you want from an Estate Agent. We had a lengthy problematic sale, which was partly down to us and partly due the poor housing stock in Evesham, with us pulling out of a few sales due to bad surveys and an unwillingness for sellers to negotiate - even though we had also dropped our own price to keep our own buyer, and ours wasn't even due to survey reasons. We also heard a troubling report from another agency in the area that Jenna hindered our offers to buy, by casting doubts on our seriousness as buyers, making any offers with other agents unobtainable. When we challenged this we were assured that this wasn't the case, but our trust had been completely lost. In an odd twist of fate, we ended up communicating with our buyer directly, cutting Jenna out of the conversation, and making the process a lot easier. Ultimately, due to feeling trapped between a rock and a hard place, having exhausted any avenues to buy successfully, and feeling like we were being blocked by both RA Bennett (though unsubstantiated) and by other agents, we moved out of the area completely. Mercifully, we were put into a situation where we didn't have to corroborate our position with RA Bennett to make a successful offer, thus eliminating Jenna, and RA Bennett from the equation, allowing us to move forward without hindrance. Personally, I would not use RA Bennett to sell a property again.

I am disgusted and appalled...

I am disgusted and appalled at the level of customer service I have not received. Emails have been ignored. The phone has been put down on me numerous times due to “faulty lines”. When finally getting through to someone, I was treated like I was a big inconvenience to them. I was not surprised at all when my landlords pulled out and requested that we pay rent directly to them for the foreseeable. The customer service from the Northampton town centre branch is below appalling and all members need a good and through training programme. Disgusting! No internal communication what so ever as everyone I eventually spoke to, I had to explain the situation from the beginning because nobody can be bothered to act like a team and pass on information regarding serious money matters. I will never be using Taylor’s again.

Worst estate agent ever in Leamington… They force you to use their mortgage advisor

Worst estate agent ever in Leamington Spa. We are trying to buy a house and whilst putting an offer on a property we have been told by them that if we don't use their mortgage advisor we are not likely to get the house. Surely this must be illegal to force us to use their mortgage services?! Very dissappointed. I will be complaining to the property ombudsman.

Very bad customer service. Did not properly check the property when I moved in. And deducted deposit even though the property was already in a very bad state.

So I was looking to sell my property…

So I was looking to sell my property and was sold bag of lies from these jokers at Taylor’s estate agents.•Customer service skills from Luton branch staff were non existent.•The marketing manager ADAM Bolton who signed us up told us lies regarding the contract just to get us signed in and after said he did say those things just 2 days after! SHOCKING •Advertising was shambles, spelling mistakes, •Actual viewing that was scheduled on agent showed up at all and no apology. So no thank you I will take my business else where. Just guys are jokers and I wud recommend you use another agents.!

I have sadly been really let down by this agency. I was in the process of buying my first home for about 5 months that due to no fault of my own fell through. Even though I have been promised that I will get my holding deposit refunded from the get go (that I also have in writing) , after 7 weeks I still haven't received a penny. I'm just continuously chasing my Own money week after week. I have been continously ignored by every person in the new homes team from the bottom up, even the menager. I have had to get the Financial Ombudsman Services involved trying to get my own money back. I definitely wouldn't recommend this agency to any one as you will never get a refund (even if they promise one) on your holding deposit and you will be ignored by the new homes team throughout the whole property buying process or the refund process. The worst of them all is definitely Bradley from the new homes team who during the whole 5 months of my purchase process and 2 months of chasing my Own money, hasn't replied to a single email he's been sent either by me or any other person involved in the process. At this point I'm not even sure if he's a real person or they just made him up. Beyond abysmal customer service, beware!

Sophie Harkness did an incredible job with her presentation and the amount of effort that was employed. Her customer skills were superb and should be applauded for that.

I dealt with Michael and I have to say he went above and beyond to secure a rental property for me and my dog at short notice. I was overseas at the time and trying to get home amidst pandemic rules and regulations and time was of the essence. Michael’s communication was excellent. I was kept informed the whole time as to where we were at in the process and how he was expediting matters. Michael was professional and friendly and sought to reassure me constantly that he would do everything possible to make things happen in the timeframe we had. It was lovely to deal with someone who genuinely cares about meeting the needs of their clients.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
