TrustpilotHonest and transparent from day oneβ¦
Honest and transparent from day one made it easy to know what the costs and service would be. The entire team was dedicated to achieving the best outcome possible in a good time frame. A sale at the price discussed was achieved quickly and then I was supported throughout to the final day of exchange. Great service and good support.

TrustpilotHorrendous - Avoid as a seller at all costs
Connells are aggressive, harassing and rude. Iβd actively not look to purchase a house if I saw it was listed with Connells, during my house search they were horrendous, overbearing and far too pushy. Their email and phone notifications are ridiculous, Iβve emailed and called on multiple times asking them to stop contacting me via phone, they are intent on harassing potential buyers to the point Iβd avoid anything listed by them.

Had a survey conducted from James Edmundson. I mean, what can I say... he was quick, efficient and friendly. It was immaculately clear that he knows his trade and knows full well what hes doing. Knows the area impeccably and promised a quick turnaround on delivery. Connells... youve got a keeper.

GoogleConnells found a tenant for my property extremely quick. The girls in the estate agents were always polite and friendly but there were a few hiccups as far as the administration side went, including issues that are still on going with Connells Account Department (not the fault of the Park Farm Team) transferring me an incorrect amount (shortfall) of money after they had taken the Tenant Find Fee.

TrustpilotConnells - sound, experienced, and full of vitality.
Would like to say that Connells helped me with the purchase of a leasehold property in 2019, and also for the sale of the same property in 2022. Always friendly, found the right buyer (taking their own considerations into account), and were highly responsive, informed and moved at the right times. Have no complaints, only praise. Would like to thank Emma Eldridge for her work in 2021 as she identified a sound purchaser for good reasons, and helped to make it happen for them on their timeframe, which is the most important thing of all.

GoogleHad our property for sale with another agent for several months with very few viewings and no offers. We found our dream home via Connells so decided to switch to them to handle our sale. It's been a long process with a big chain and some hiccups along the way. Fabulous team effort from Chris, Raife and Aimee at Park Farm but Speacial Thanks must got to move progressor Tracey. She has kept us all cheerful and well informed when I'm sure she must have felt like tearing her hair out at times. Moving day in 6 days and can't wait.
Well done to all at Team Connells.
Will always recommend.

TrustpilotDysfunctional
Have been using this company for a fully managed service on our rental property. To provide a balanced review - here's the positives:They will invoice you for their costs on time. The in team branch do their best to help but are at the mercy of a dysfunctional corporate business model....now to the negatives:The remote "support centre" team are anything but supportive. There is a lack of accountability, communication and follow up. Simple tasks such as informing energy suppliers of tenancy changes take months to get resolved. Communication flows from the tenant to landlord are poor. Chasing outstanding issues such as overdue rent or maintenance tasks feels like a tick box exercise which results in further delay / lack of action. Good luck if you have a deposit dispute as they will give you zero support. Most frustrating of all is the fact that I have escalated these issues on multiple occasions to give the company a chance to resolve and yet I find myself in the same place.My simple advice is please do your research and consider very carefully before using this outfit for a tenancy service.

GoogleI am a first time (self employed) buyer. This process is both difficult and scary! Beth has been more than helpful as a mortgage advisor, explaining everything and being very compassionate to my situation. And leah has found me more than enough properties to view and always knows the perfect house for me! She is an amazing agent!
EDIT* STILL AMAZING 5* I wrote the above whilst looking on the market and now I have Completed on my very first home a week ago!
What could have been an extremely stressful process was so smooth and relaxed.
Not only Did Leah find my Dream home, Beth helped with insurances and I had the AMAZING TRACEY as my sales processor helping and supporting me every step of the way. She made me feel So comfortable and explained everything so well and reassured me when I was unsure of anything. helped me feel excited rather than scared as I did this all on my own. Thankyou SO MUCH to the whole team, it really was such a good experience buying my very first home.PositiveQuality, Professionalism

A special mention to Leah (such a sweetheart) who went above and beyond to help us find the perfect property! She was always willing to answer all my questions and continuously supported us throughout our search. Highly recommend Beth, our mortgage advisor, who was extremely knowledgeable and guided us flawlessly through the whole process.

TrustpilotDishonest
Dishonest. Blandford branch have taken advantage of an elderly lady which will result in her paying double agency fees, due to ignoring her instructions and advising her incorrectly just to suit their own agendas. As an agent myself I will always stay in my own lane and never call into question the service of another agent, but on this occasion I am so appalled by their actions that I feel they need to be held accountable.

TrustpilotNeedlessly Aggressive & Disgusting Breach of Data Protection Regulations
Recently sold a home with Connells - Fairford Leys. We'd used Connells before and wanted a specific agent in their town centre branch who we knew personally and had used before, but after enquiring were diverted to a marginally closer branch. That seemed a bit 'nit-picky', but whatever. Fast forward almost a year and we finally made it to completion, after a very drawn out and stressful process with lots of hiccups. In the sales-driven world of estate agents, we sensed that the long saga of our move frustrated them, but we weren't going to settle for a house with subsidence! We were encouraged to use their "Connells Home Conveyancing" service, which we took them up on because it meant a small refund of some fees later on and our buyer was already using the local solicitor we'd wanted. Big mistake! We also utilised their mortgage broker, who was very accommodating and competent, but for some strange reason saw fit disclose our private information to members of the public!? The outcome of which was that my wife ended up having to employ a solicitor to fight off her employer, who had found out we were moving as a result of this data breach and was pressuring her to quit (which would have ironically put the mortgage application in jeopardy). We still haven't decided where we're going to take it after the other thing that recently happened with Connells.The reason choosing Connells Home Conveyancing was a big mistake was because at completion they did two things wrong: 1. They overpaid stamp duty on our purchase to the tune of Β£2500 & 2. They also made accounting errors on the completion statement that resulted in Connells Estate Agent not being paid their sale fee in full. The stamp duty was paid at the old rate rather than the newly-announced one. But whilst this announcement came early on completion day, we didn't complete until the end of the day and so were eligible. This was widely available information in the public domain and I tried to call and email Connells Home Conveyancing to ensure we paid the correct sum, but they couldn't be bothered to look at it. Instead, they left me to chase HMRC for a refund via post (yes, that's their process) which could take weeks! I went in to Connells Estate Agent on completion day and they, incorrectly, advised me that we weren't eligible too. But the worst of it was that, because of their accounting error, the estate agent didn't get paid their full fee at completion. This resulted in the branch manager giving us just 24hrs to pay the balance or face debt collection! How quickly the mask fell off once all that was left was to settle the bill. Through no fault of our own and due to the incompetence of Connells Group, we are now out of pocket over Β£3500, plus the cost of the solicitor. We also find it funny how when they want money they're owed (because their own people messed up) it's 24hrs or bailiffs, but we are also due a refund of the photography fee for using Connells Home Conveyancing, we have to write to head office then wait 28 days for them to make a simple bank transfer. Of course, we paid in order to avoid the hassle and are now left flabbergasted at the rudeness, incompetence, privacy breaches and threats from Connells. A totally unnecessary sequence of events and a completely over-the-top response, no doubt driven by some meaningless sales deadline. We wouldn't recommend Connells or their partner services to anyone after this and looking at the other reviews on here it seems we're not alone. Avoid!

GoogleAfter contacting Connells online, they very quickly introduced me to the Park Farm Ashford team. I met the manager Raife at my property, who gave me the best advice on selling an empty property. We went to auction!
The property sold first time and contracts exchanged very quickly.
Raife and the team were extremely helpful , friendly and generous with their time and knowledge .
If you need professional help and advice give them a ring.
Simply the best.

GoogleWe are delighted with the property manager at ashford Park farm. His name is Heinz and after meeting him at our property to tell him about the issues that need addressing, all repairs that were mentioned were carried out in a timely manner. His years of professionalism in this field are excellent. He is understanding, easy to talk to and listens to what is being said. It is a pleasure to deal with him, best property manager they have had since 2007. Heinz comes to check the repairs once complete.

Introduced herself to me and put me in the picture about what Connells is all about and then went ahead with her tasks.
