DO NOT USE! Awful service!

Terrible company and horrendous service. Hard to sell a house when the agent doesn't pitch up for viewings, has fake customers who don't pitch up for viewings either, doesn't return calls, terrible photos and asks for our own photos, bad write up, don't update the sales video with the new photos post makeovers, refuses to release the seller from a contract despite repeated requests due to terrible service and wants payment for doing nothing useful! Release MR Portman immediately so a proper agent can sell the house!

Beeston Branch:

Beeston Branch:A terrible experience with this agent. My friend listed her property with them under a twelve week contract which they later said was 16 weeks as they want her to give another four weeks notice after the twelve period. On top of this they got the property information and dimensions wrong on the listing; adding a downstairs toilet that didn't exist! They confuse viewings and bookings, hence turning people down who want to view the property. She is at the end of her tether trying to get out of this contract. Don't use this agent. They are incompetent, lack any communication skills and behave like rogues when you try to leave.

Southgate Branch

Southgate Branch, if I could give zero stars I would. They did not even send anyone round to the house when a viewer was coming. I had to show them round. Sometimes they told the client they would meet outside our house at the agreed time but would not show up. I use to see people wandering up and down the street and had to go out and ask them in. We were even told off for turning up at the office to speak with them being told we should have booked an appointment. Hopeless!!

Stratford Branch have been useless

Stratford Branch have been useless, very charming agent valued the property and got me signed up and then it all went south from there. It took them almost 2 weeks to list the property, incl. put the board up on the wrong house. After just one week and 2 viewings they tried to bully me into reducing the price - I was extremely offended by the language they used and had to complain. Since then radio silence - no wonder house prices are falling. Going to rent with Openrent or sell it later with Strike for free - at least if I have to discount the house it costs me nothing to sell it. This is my first experience of high street agents for a long time and hopefully my last ever.

Amazing team at the tamworth branch

Amazing team at the tamworth branch, I could not fault them, from the minute we looked around the house until the minute we picked the key's up and if you need a mortgage, countrywide mortgages within the branch is definitely the one to use suki is amazing and continued to support after we got out key's. Thank you

Incredible service from the letting team here and from property management. Specifically peter,Samantha and Julianne from property management. I could have gotten through the last week or so without them they have helped me so much. Peter and Julianne spent all of their time and energy helping time through a tough time with a landlord and I cannot thank them or recommend them and abbots as a whole enough.

In my search for a place to live in the Basildon area, I had the pleasure of meeting Sam. She is an excellent estate agent who conveys trust. She was always honest with the properties we visited and added a personal touch to the transactions that made the search for a flat a lot less stressful and a lot more exciting than it was originally set to be. Thank you for all your help.

Hi this is my experience with Baristow Eves

Hi, I have horrible experience with this agent. I live from 12 years in 55 Gloucester Road. All this time I looked after property, painted walls, doors and everything need fixing. Wend I moved in to property was full of bed bugs dirty carpet, I have to get aut toilet seat, bat tube cracked, toilet crack, tails in kitchen floor broken, garden was like in jungle and full off garbage. After I clean everything, the agent is coming to do property inspections, they even not inspected property bifor I moved in. In all this years the same agent is coming to check property and he always says:( I wish all properties to be like this. In all this years I ask to change the carpet in 2 rooms and change 2beds. This was all wat I ask. But every year after check property they send maintenance to do same bit in, like change sockets, bulbs, silicone even they don’t need to change. In 1year they send electricians to change lamps in bathroom, after 1week his son is coming to change again and wat his father change a wick bifor hi throw away. This is watt they do. If I call them, they never respond. Now they send maintenance to change fences in garden. Wend i ask them what they change, i can’t even see what they do, they start to scream and say they was doing to me a lot of favour. I call the agency but they don’t care. Finally aware contact end it in 5 may. But in February we signed new contract. After incident with maintenance, agent is coming to check property and start to see wi don’t pay to much rent for this property. And after call to my husband and tell him the landlord wants to increase rent with 500£ . We refuse that and agree to live house. In the end we pay everything in date and wait for deposit. 🙈🙈🙈🙈 this is nightmare for me, after they check and find things like they have to change a door, and lot of rubbish. I have to give them 50£ . All this guys in walthamstow agency are the same. I ask to speak with landlord. This is impossible for them. This is my experience with this agency. Be aware with them. Even you landlord or tenant. Thy will charge both.

Highly recommended

Alan, Natalie and the team in the Wollaton office were excellent from start to finish. They were friendly but professional and ensured the smooth sale of my property at what was a difficult time personally. I was kept informed constantly and would have no hesitation in recommending them.

I had a very bad experience with this…

I had a very bad experience with this estate agent, however I have agreed with them they can do rent collection and full management, which they tried to sell it to me for monthly fee, to find me a proper tenant. When I discussed with them, is there any notice that I need to give you to be able to manage my property myself, they avoiding my request, they ignoring my e-mails, and everyone saying different answer, some they say: notice is 6 months, some they say the contract 1 year, and finally someone on the phone that I requested from her where would I see the such information on the TERMS OF BUSINESS, she doesn’t know.It’s a very bad team they have at the letting dept. on EAST CROYDON branch. They just take £144 monthly from my money and they don’t do anything, they even they don’t respond to me.

Frinton on sea branch

Frinton on sea branch, Jodie went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that this House sale went ahead. With problem after problem mounting against the sale she was the glue that held the whole deal together. I'll be eternally grateful to her. What an asset to your company. A+ Mr T Drake

Sly, money grabbers

My experience was a short one with Barstow (Sutton branch) when I simply asked to view a property. Confirmed I have my own AIP and without asking she goes on to try and sell me their services. I didn't agree to any financial consultation but they set one up anyway. I said I didn't need it and wasn't able to view the property without one. The fact they don't even ask and just set it up is so sly. Wouldn't recommend for anyone let alone a first time buyer.

If I could leave zero I would

If I could leave zero I would! We recently moved into a rental properrenting threw these cowboys! We've had nothing but problems, first no gas safety checks were conducted, major leak happened from bathroom to the kitchen leaving us with no power, could we get hold of anyone? No! We are left with major damage to our belongings and currently looking for somewhere else to move to! I also feel fro the landlord are they aware that this property is managed by such con artists!

Karen and Dan in the Maid Marion Way branch in Nottingham were really helpful in getting a sale over the line when it ran into difficulties, patiently helping us sort out several issues over 2 months until we finally got it over the line. Thanks to them both.

Worst estate agent in London

Would avoid them like a plague. Withheld deposit unlawfully, failing to meet all legislative expectations on returning funds in an appropriate manner. Poor communicators on the whole, but even worse over the phone if you are able to get hold of them. They utilise the art of deception and deceit in check out reports, selective emails chains and delay tactics. Avoid at all costs!

Basildon Branch - Fantastic

(Basildon branch) Originally visited to enquire about another property, spoke with Tom who convinced me to meet with Andrew Harman, an absolutely fantastic mortgage advisor who actually got me my mortgage at a much better rate and a greater value. Ended up being able to view a property at a higher amount than I was originally looking for through their branch, went on to purchase and they were all very helpful and professional every step of the way.
