GoogleI have been at my address for a few years now. Lauri has been looking after me during this time. She is helpful, very informed and kind. She handles all the interactions between myself and my landlord which makes for an enjoyable situation. She goes out of her way to make sure everything is running smoothly.

GoogleI've been in several times to see the Mortgage Advisor Urvashi, she is always very helpful and has gone above and beyond everytime in making sure things were completed quickly and without any hassle for me. The experience was completely different to other brokers I've dealt with and going through a bank. Urvashi took care of everything. Highly recommend using her for your mortgage.

Unfortunately we didnβt didnβt find the house thru them in the end, although Dan proved to be the most effective, honest and fully understood everything that we needed, he kept in constant communication with us with new updates on a regular basiS.
Much better to deal with this branch than the Leicester city center one.

GoogleBased on my experience with Gianfranco I can only give 5 stars.
Manners cost nothing, and this gentleman has it in bundles.
He has gone above and beyond for me multiple times in keeping me informed (whether or not my offers were successful.)
He has managed my expectations and proven able to keep his word.
I would certainly recommend him/Spencers to friends and family.
Keep up the good work.

GoogleI had made inquires about a certain property in Leicester that was put up for sale around May 2018. However, I was informed that there were many offers and infact the property had been sold within a week and it had been "sold subject to contract" for the asking price. However, the property was back on the market in October 2018 when I first made contact with Gianfanco Paparozi at the Spencers branch in the town centre. I very quickly realised that I wish I had spoken to Gianfanco in the first place as I found his approach extremely professional as he knew exactly how to provide the top level customer care. Within 10 minutes of meeting up with Gianfanco, I had all the reassurances of my mortgages been dealt with by one of the in-house advisors and all my paper work checked for my offer to be put to the Vendors. Before I left the office Gianfanco had already spoken to the Vendor and reassured me that the property would be sold to me as soon as the mortgage company gave me the go-ahead. At all stages of the negotiations, Gianfranco rang me to brief me about the sale. I have dealt with many Estate Agents in the past - but I found Gianfranco being the most honourable as there were no hidden agendas. I would personally like to Thank Gianfranco for his professionalism and honesty as this put my trust back into young people of his age.

GoogleOne star is too many for this company, As they pride themselves on being an award winning estate agents, I personally wouldn't let them manage doing the simplest of jobs. We received our keys back in October and since then we've been waiting on blinds, working sinks, working toilets.. the list goes on, In the midst of all of this WE were accused of changing the locks so their building management couldn't get in, when in actual fact it was Spencer's Estate Agents, which only proved to us there's no communication and had to change our working shifts so they could rectify their own mistake with not even a thank you. Not to even mention access to our own water and electricity meters, where we've now not had a reading for 3 months, I will be invoicing Countrywide our usage as it's been an inconvience to us since day one.
Not to mention the people they put in charge of buildings, giving them the "property manager" name, a goat could manage this building better, in fact I'm pretty sure whoever gave them that job title needs to lay off the flat 5 special.
The building it'sself is not secure in any way, this is proved by people LIVING UNDER THE STAIRS like a scene out of the borrowers.
So we're being told we have to pay MONTHLY to live here when we could live for free???
Spencers clearly not done ANY referencing due to the fact drug dealers and students live here, When we were told it would only be working professionals and families BY the agent who shown us round from Spencers meaning the endless noise complaints and smell complaints we've had to make to the "property managers" and the police. Not to mention getting accosted by bailiffs every single day for another person's issues, the theft of post due to the fact apparently the building has a service where someone comes and signs for parcels if you aren't in and they just LEAVE THEM IN THE HALLWAYS where all the delinquents of the building can get to them. So yeah thanks for that! Wonderful. Which shouldn't be an issue IF SPENCER'S actually checked the people out who they were renting too.
Since we took the contract it's been issue after issue after issue not to mention the building isn't even registered as we've struggled to get Internet, council tax, parcels, the lot due to the address not being recognised.
I personally believe the cure for cancer would be publicised and Brexit would be over before Countrywide Estate Management and Spencers did anything remotely useful.
This review comes after nearly 37 emails requesting someone higher up in the company to complain to but not actually getting any reply back.
my position is classed as a social entrepreneur meaning I have a voice that gets heard by ALL businesses including the newspapers, I WILL take action should nothing improve.
I'm also starting to believe it won't be a simple leave either considering we haven't received anything to tell us our deposit is protected. They seem like the company who will charge you for the damages you moved in with that were done by their companies.

GoogleOne word - OUTSTANDING!!!
Property went on the market and in less than a week it was sold and at asking price!
We knew from the moment we met Mark for the valuation that these guys are experts in their field.
When Mark went on a skiing holiday a few days after our appointment, nothing was held up. We met with Jon who completed all the relevant paperwork in a timely and professional manner.
The professional photos were then done within 48 hours at no extra cost (none of this amateur stuff!)
Our property hit Rightmove as a premium listing and we had viewings pretty much instantly.
The communication regarding viewings from Stephanie and Emma was excellent. We received confirmation texts and emails giving us plenty of notice if we needed to alter days or times.
They fully qualify the buyer to make sure they have funds in place before proceeding to making offers.
Special mention to Franco whoβs the Sales Manager. A fantastic personal service from him. A steady flow of emails and phone calls keeping us up to date with everything that is going on. Heβs not one of these boring Senior Management guys who sits behind a desk all day never wanting to speak to people.
As with all reviews there is always a negative - I promised a bottle of red wine if they got asking price so I have to stick to my word!! Looks like Iβll be coming in with quite a few as the whole team deserves one!
Amazing service!
Amazing result!

GoogleIs it possible to leave no star rating, our experience with Countrywide and Spencers has been an absolute nightmare that we would not wish on our worst enemies.
We moved into Equinox House with maintenance issues still outstanding such as leaking toilet and sinks, sockets hanging off the wall, no blinds whilst on the ground floor facing a very busy road restricting our privacy, we've had pedestrians as well as cars stuck in traffic look into our bedrooms during all hours of the day.
The building is like a drug dealers trap house, there's plenty of strange people in and out so there's no form of security there. There's a homeless man living under the communal staircase who has been more pleasant than some of the drug dealers who've created a few altercations with people from the complex including an incident that involved 2 men against one female resident in the car park.
Speaking of the car park they choose to charge some residents Β£50 a month to use whilst majority of people that use it have mentioned they don't have to pay for it. Everyone has access to the car park even people that don't live here! The parking is very poorly managed, with parking parking as they please including blocking the exit!
They informed us it was professions only, just to find out majority of occupiers in the complex are students, so expect to hear music with heavy bass consistently from 11pm onto the early hours of 4/5am EVERYDAY without fail, oh and also the smell of marijuana in the corridors.
On one occasion there was a fault with the fire alarm and the whole complex had to endure the piercing sound of a fire alarm consistently from 11pm until the following day around 10am.
We've been here over a month and none of the maintenance issues have been resolved - not a single one, still no blinds, toilet seat and still managing with a leaking toilet and sinks.
No one seems to be able to help with anything, you get told to contact one person who refers you back to the first person you were in contact with.
Whatever you do, don't do this to yourself stay far away from this company and building complex. We didn't realise we were paying to experience hell.

GoogleWhat a refreshing change! After having to deal with 2 other "Local" estate agents over the last year, both losing us the purchase we were aiming for,
Spencers, and particularly Franco, went "the extra mile" in handling the sale of our former house bringing back the concept of SERVICE to the customer! He was always available to deal with whatever was raised and kept us fully informed of progress even when there didn't seem to be any due to others "dragging their feet". IF we ever need an agents service again, we shall most certainly use Spencers . We have already recommended them to a close relative.

GoogleI really don't like estate agents - they are more of a necessary evil in order to sell your house.
Spencers were different!
The team at the Leicester branch really couldn't do enough to make the sale happen. They did the viewings, established finances of prospective purchasers - all the things you'd hope for.
But, as always, the real measure is when things don't go quite right, smoothly, or at the pace you'd wanted.
That's when they came into their own - more specifically that's when Sandra Nightingale came into her own.
Sandra chased solicitors, chased financial advisors, chased the purchaser, she followed up on every date and deadline that they all advised, she shared in my frustrations - but worked tirelessly to not only put me at ease but to resolve all the issues that were delaying the purchase.
That's the single minded tenacity that you want from someone acting on your behalf: and I'm convinced without her (and the support from Nick / Franco) that the sale would not have completed (or I'd have had a full on breakdown!)
Overall - excellent. (there needs to be a 6th star to award.

GoogleNot living In Leicester, chose Spencers to sell my late brothers property as sale boards locally mostly Spencers. Very pleased with service throughout. Initial contact (Mark), I was given a clear explanation of how best to market the property, a valuation and what selling fees were involved. I was kept updated regularly by the team at the Leicester office, with offers (mostly in excess of asking price). I was shocked but very pleased when the property sold for Β£30,000 in excess of the valuation because of the keen competition between potential buyers. There was a hiccup when Probate was delayed,, but Spencers held things together. Thankyou Team Spencers.
