TrustpilotCannot believe how poor this business…
Cannot believe how poor this business is.Not one call returned, not one call made.They were tasked with getting a valuation.Then stopped.5-10 phone calls later and missed promises, deadlines, etc.Waste of time - buyer beware.Still wasting my time with them - yes, they still say they will call you - they don't.

Trustpilotdon’t get a job here...
using the company is one thing. but working for them is another. treated like absolute s***. false promises and dodgy scrips to learn. management are awful, so called ‘leaders’ give false motivation and crap advice. ‘too depressed’ to be on the phone apparently all for less than minimum wage for 50+ hours a week. exploitation at it’s finest. how funny.

TrustpilotDisgsusting service
Disgsusting service. Promise a friend to get them moved within 2 months and it has been 4 and no dat given. Now they say 2 weeks delay. Seriously disgusted. Not an agent my friend dreamed of selling. Do not recommend this at all, an absoluate waist of money and a load of time if you r going to use them.

TrustpilotIncompetent survey, uncontactable.
Incompetent survey, uncontactable.Terrible surveyors. Performed a survey on our flat and incorrectly identified a health and safety issue with our windows that was contradictory to national legislation, putting our whole sale in jeopardy. What makes matters worse is they are uncontactable as they hide behind their estate agents who will not permit any discussion of the survey and are intentionally obstructive.

TrustpilotClowns!
Clowns! Avoid, avoid, avoid! Despite every property selling on the same block within 4 weeks, and for more than the MV, valued at zero. I’d quite like taking a test case/SAR against them.

TrustpilotJoke
Joke! Absolute joke! Just valued my house at 50k less than the previous co did a couple of months ago and since then we’ve had significant work done. Incidentally the valuation they came up with was only 25k more than we paid for it 14 years ago and it was literally just a stone shell. Like I say, total joke!

TrustpilotReally dissapointed with the service…
Really dissapointed with the service from these agents. Never come back to you on the phone with updates on the offer I made, rude on the phone and shoulting. I've been trying to arrange a viewing for 4 days which never hapen and in the end hanged up the phone on me. Waste of time 100%

GoogleIt was great service from Michael in balgores. He managed to meet our strict timelines to move us in the rented property. He is always available and quick to respond to all our queries. Always recommend them for this brilliant service.

TrustpilotThese guys are horrific
These guys are horrific. Messed us about moving in, messed us about while we lived here and now messing us about to make us leave, only 12 months in. Replied to a repairs request with an eviction notice, lie through their teeth about everything. Absolutely shocked at the level of quality here, expected more from connells.

TrustpilotI did their job for them
I recently sold my house through their Kingswood branch and did most of the work myself! I had to constantly chase them for feedback of viewings by going to their branch, as they ignored my emails. This was doubly frustrating as I was also being chased by competent estate agents for feedback of properties I viewed. I will never use them again.

TrustpilotOverall disappointment
Although this company provided what was contractually required, I was disappointed with the overall level of service.Following a complaint about an element of the service provided, our contractual relationship hit such a low point that the only remit left was arbitration via Ombudsman Services, via the published ADR scheme.Had I know what would have occurred, I would not have used this company in the first place.

GoogleI got my lovely 2 bed flat from balgores had the agent micha who was really lovely and on hand whenever we had a query only took 11 days from viewing to moving in and that was only because of waiting on references from work im really happy with the move in process and how smooth it was made :)

TrustpilotAwful Customer Service
Rubbish customer service. Maintenance department awfulTook weeks to get anything sorted. Offered no forms of compensation for being without basic things like hot water for over a month. Made life extremely difficult for well over 8 months. was not even informed I had a new landlord until I rang them up and was told as an afterthought. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY GO ELSWHERE
5/5
GoogleWe are so pleased with the service provided by Nigel and Mackensie from Balgores estate agent during our home moving process. They are very quick in responding to us throughout the process and guided us very well in all the essential steps. I would highly recommend Balgores who are looking for smooth and stress free transaction.

TrustpilotAwful
This company is just an embarrassment!!!!Absolutely ridiculous and pathetic how they treat people. Just ignoring every single company value. Even the complaint office has no idea how to sort out things and is just pointless. Constantly keep telling an untruth, making errors, breaching the contract and unlawfully holding your money.

TrustpilotIf I could give minus stars I would
If I could give minus stars I would. When you really need something, you might as well talk to the wall, they never call you back, they give bad advice then hide like the cowards they are. Worst company, DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM, UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE TIME AND MONEY. they need to shut down to be honest.

TrustpilotRude rude rude
The ‘gentlemen’ who came round to do a survey was one of the rudest and arrogant individuals I’ve ever met. My partner and I were astonished. Luckily they were doing it on behalf of my lender so I’m not paying them a penny. If it wasn’t for that his attitude wouldn’t have even got him through the threshold.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
