TrustpilotSale of house
Worst company ever sold house no contact waited 12 weeks buyer pulled out connells did not even know. Sold agin waited 4 weeks to tell my solicitor worst customer sevice ever. Not suprised to see so many sokd signs as they aint intrested unless the sale is worth over 250000. Not enough money in it for them.

Do not use this terrible letting agency. Staff are rude and unequipped to help. I have had major issues with my property since I moved in and three months later no nearer getting them sorted. Really bad service. Will never use them again and will get out of my contract as soon as I can.

TrustpilotUnprofessional
This company think it's ok to heavily leaflet properties where it states clearly on the letter box no leaflets junk mail etc - After calling their Exeter office for the 3rd time the guy pretty much told me it wasn't junk mailing and wanted my address , rude . These get out straight in the bin

One of their surveyor keep devaluing all his property reports. Have reported to RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) about this matter. This company should be banning on business! They charged huge amount of money to run homebuyers report and then taking micky out of it!

TrustpilotWould give 0 stars if possible
Would give 0 stars if possible. Staff at the Queensway branch are appalling and unwilling to help! Constant problems but just brush their hands off. Half of them have no idea idea what they are doing and very unprofessional. Will never use them every again!

TrustpilotVery poor valuation
Very poor valuation. Took over 4 weeks for information to be passed onto mortgage lender. Lender advised out IfA that the valuer had used 'outdated terminology ' that lenders no longer use and he would not clarify any points in a timely fashion leading our 'portable ' product to run out of time. Poor professionalism

TrustpilotNOt even checking the window properly for £700
We asked for a survey with option, to cover any risk. When we moved in we discover on one window, the double glazing was not sealing and the window was full of humidity between the glasses. They replied their check is done on a sample of window not all of them.For this we paid £700.

Awful service. Have rented my house through connells for the last year. The service was so bad it putt me off renting it out again. No communication. I had to chase up inspections. Rent payments. Was over changed for work they carried out. It's been a year of pure hell

Terrible company who tried re build a previous chain after agreement of a new sale. Thankfully we was one step ahead of connells and there plans didn't go as they had planned. Terrible branch very deceitful. Would not be buying or selling through them again.

Very disappointed with the way our house purchase was handled. During a very stressful time of lockdown/covid I felt the communication was either non-existent or aggressive and accusatory. Things did improve once the office manager became involved but it was a shame it had to escalate to this point.

TrustpilotThe Watford Branch
I have found the Watford branch to be poor as managers for my property. I was constantly dealing with different people; they lost paperwork and emails; were resentful and rude when asked to do anything and were huffy and even more unhelpful when I suggested I would be switching to another agent.
5/5
GoogleGreat experience with Balgores. Hats off to Lucy at the Mortgage Bureau who went above and beyond to help us out with a tricky application. Nothing was too much trouble and we were well informed every step of the way. Highly recommend her and all the staff at Balgores!
