We viewed a property yesterday and we were told we would get an email first thing this morning containing the deposit info and a form for the references. We said we wanted to move in on the 28th and was told that would be fine. We have told our Landlord she can move her house sale forward because we have found a property and we will be out by the end of next week.We have been chasing Andrews all day for the email they promised to send, only to be told there is another applicant and we have both been sent to the Landlord to review and she will come back Monday with a decision. What are we meant to do? its the 21st today and we needed to be in on the 28th? This is awful service to be told we have not yet secured the property at 5pm on a Friday when we were led to believe the deposit and references were just a technicality. awful service im so upset and annoyed

Andrews are great

Andrews are great. I had an amazing experience with Andrews. What i like about Andrews is that they call themselves to the clients if there is any property available to let or for sale. I had an great experience with one of the staff who's name is Nancy Henley, very cooperative and helpful. She always response fast.

Has to be the worst estate agent I have…

Has to be the worst estate agent I have ever encountered. 1 star is too much for them :DWe had broken shower in our flat for almost a year. We had to shower in ice cold water for 8 months. It took them 8 months to fix our shower, and all they had to do is install a water pump.They did this for other flats but for some reason it took them 8 months to do it for us.I have called them almost daily, and they have made numerous inspections. They are also very greedy. They have sent about a dozen of contractors from different companies to fit the pump, but after speaking to those contractors they said that Andrews would send them to get a quote, and after they give them their price, Andrews would ignore them...They have lied on multiple occasions, with their regional manager promising that the issue will be fixed in few days time (it wasn’t for months). They also lied about their managers being off on maternity, long term illness, retirement.. and I would then shortly speak to their managers and realise that they were not on maternity or sick leave.Admins seem to be useless and would lie and not leave case notes according to what the manager said.They only fixed the issue after I have raised the query with law firm. And surprisingly, after being legally requested to fix it, they did it in two days.

Disgusted with unprofessionalism and arrogance of their employees . Gave them offer to the property i was going to rent with one condition, that it will be minimum 2 year contract .They agreed, wasted my time to go through all referencing procedure .Then showed up with one year contract and telling me that its ok like that .No,Mr Nathan its not ok.Im still waiting for my deposit you were very quick to take but not as quick to give back.

We are with this agency quite a few years and so far we have had an excellent experience with Andrews. Monika Chovancova who cares about us now is very helpful and responsive. Thank you so much!

Professional and honest estate agent

Highly recommended an estate agent who managed to secure a nice property for my family. Very professional and honest. We had a bad experience with other estate agents in the area as they acted like auctions. And I am personally thanking Bobbie Caller (Bob) she helps us big time to make the letting process smooth and easy.

Avoid if you appreciate customer service

As a tenant this company is so bad. Patronising communication that makes their tenants feel inferior. The property is inspected once every three months but issues are never resolved, and you get locked into 12 month fixed tenancies so they can charge you ever year to re-sign up. I had a leaking window that was letting water in, it took over a week to even get a response. Another week to get someone to visit, and then I had to chase up progress another week later to find out the outcome of the visit. So bad.I had to complain to the branch manager just to get things moving. Who then made a point of sending me a passive aggressive email. It’s worth adding she did nothing to speed up any resolution. So my leak is on-going. At the end of your agreement they also charge you eighty odd quid to complete it. Absolutely criminal experience. Worst letting agent I’ve ever dealt with.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Rude, nasty, vile.

I rented a property out on a Let only basis through Andrews that I had to abandon 5 months into the tenancy as it was infested with vermin, had a broken boiler, was riddled with mould, damp, dodgy wiring with loose connections throught, blocked drains and more. Was shown round in the dark because they were too cheap to put £1 on the electric meter so couldn't see any of the problems, including the pizza menus taped to the side of the toilet (seriously), the agent gave me lots of wrong information about the place and they insisted I needed a guarantor as my job was a contract. This cost £150 on top of the £300 in agency fees.Upon leaving the property I rang to complain that they had not carried out basic safety checks or done due dilligence on the landlord and spent half an hour arguing with an utterly vile woman who accused me of not knowing what I was talking about, insisted that none of this was their responsibility, that they had done everything that was legally required of them and that she "was not going to spend any more time on this childish conversation" She lied over and over again, claiming that the rat wasn't there when I moved in (according to the landlord there had been several issues with rodents previously), said that they wouldn't ask a potential landlord if there had ever been rats in the property (again, seriously) and when I asked what exactly were the safety checks they had carried out was told "I'm not going to regurgitate them to you."I have never experienced such abysmal customer service in my life and hope to never again. The woman was so rude, contemptuous and nasty that I was shaking at the end of the phone call after giving up in frustration and despair. Utterly despicable company staffed with incompetent, lying crooks who deserve to have their offices shut down and boarded up.

As a landlord I would not recommend this letting agent. They have a competitive percentage, but you do not much in return other than poorly worded. On numerous occasions we had to chase the letting agent to get tasks completed. Things would be completed without our knowledge. On numerous occasions they undertook inspections and charged us when we had not asked for this and it took numerous emails to ensure we were refunded. I believe they employ such "mistake" tactics on purpose to exploit landlords who do not check what they are being charged for. I wouldn't be surprised if they do this to tenants as well. They also charge a large amount for renewing contracts and explain that it is part of the lawyer fees required to ensure our protection. They also tried to charge for marketing fees when it was the previous tenants simply renewing the contract to stay another year. Again this was put down to some miscommunication between the departments....They will undertake actions and then patronise you when it seems like this is not what you wanted to happen; saying it was in the terms of business or sorry this is what we always do. I could write more and more of the annoying and incompetent things they have done, but I think you can see my frustrations! I cannot recommend highly enough not using this company, but maybe they are best of a bad bunch!

Very pleased with result of our house sale through Andrews.

Tony worked hard and showed a lot of persistence to get our sale done. He gave us a valuation that surprised me, never thought the house could be worth that much, and he got it sold for that much - despite the markets taking a tumble shortly afterwards (the Liz Truss debacle). Very satisfied with Andrews and with Tony in particular.

Steer clear at all costs but if you do rent a property through them, take photographs of absolutely everything as soon as you get the keys and mark the check-in inventory with every single defect, no matter how petty you may consider it to be. Keep hold of it as they won't use it as a comparator at check-out and will try and sting you for faults already there. It took weeks for Avneet to respond to emails and usually only after numerous phone calls. Any repairs were done reluctantly and usually with demands for contribution. They are extremely landlord-centric. Expect to send Avneet at least 4 chasers and to make numerous phone calls for each enquiry. Follow up each telephone call and face to face meeting with an email and keep this as evidence ... you will need It. Be prepared to go to DPS at the end of your tenancy as you WILL need to if you want your deposit back. I cannot stress enough the importance of keeping every single piece of correspondence and records of telephone calls and face to face meetings with this bunch of incompetent rip-off merchants. UPDATE I took my landlord to arbitration over the deduction from my deposit and won!

Extremely poor agents with a voracious and insatiable appetite for extracting every possible penny from their unfortunate tenants. Their website, comically, makes boasts about their ethical credentials, but the reality is very different. Repeated requests for the return of the part of our deposit held in excess of the new government maximum were roundly ignored, until eventually after much persistence a brief and high-handed note was received stating they were not legally obliged to do so. Not legally obliged no, but morally and honourably obliged surely.They've had more than 10 years of unearned interest from our deposit and you'd think that'd be sufficient for them. But instead they rely on the absolute letter of the law to squeeze their poor tenants as hard as they possibly can.A shameful and immoral company. Avoid if you possibly can.
