disappointed experience with Romans

I am really disappointed from the service provided , I have rented house through a Roman’s , When the house handed over to me, I found the house dirty & stains, broken Hop, a lot of bulbs not working , dish washer not working , toilet cover broken , bathtub not properly draining.All this and more on the report & no action at all from Romans , the response I received I will check with Landlord, dispute the fact Roman’s are the property management!!!

Amanda have been very professional and helpful in her approach and services! That's the driving force for me, then the property viewing was timely, thorough with lots of options and details discussed with Mark. I loved the professionalism from these two, Romans must be proud to have them.

We rented a property through Romans…

We rented a property through Romans last year, and in the first week of moving in, we noticed silver fish in the living area, kitchen, bathrooms, almost everywhere. Sometimes they would disappear, but would suddenly appear from nowhere. We also noticed that few lights were not working, which should have been replaced before we moved in. There were some cupboards in the kitchen whose doors were not properly hinged and for some of them, the doors won't stay when we opened them. We informed about all these findings to them in the first week itself but no proper action was taken, and they were taking very long to reply, plus the contact person for us used to change every few weeks/ months. In fact, they finally sent someone to fix the cupboards, but it was not done completely and nicely, so they are back to where they were initially.We were not informed about how to read the in-home meter display (which is a smart meter apparently) and were just told that they will be submitting the first reading themselves, nor were we informed of the whereabouts of our property meter (we got to know recently that it was just outside our flat). We were in touch with Spark Energy, which was the service provider in the beginning and was recommended by Romans, however the team of Spark Energy (online chat as well as on phone) was not really good at answering our queries regarding in-home meter display, property meter etc. We got a heavy bill in the month of March, although it was hard to believe that we would have used that much power in March, and we never got to know about it, even when we logged onto our online account, until we switched over to Scottish Power, and a final bill was generated for us. All this wouldn't have happened if they had informed us how and where to read the meter, so we could have done it every month.So, to conclude, their customer management is weak, and the company just cares about making money, and not about satisfaction of their client. So if you have time, then search for properties through agents/ landlords, other than the ones through Romans, before finalizing one of theirs. We didn't have much time to do a proper survey of other flats/ houses and had to go with the one we are currently living in.

Rented a new home

Rented a new home, although ready to move into, there were no services available, broadband, bin collection etc. Appreciate it is a new build but given the fact I was pushed into completing as the Landlord would not wait, I feel absolutely disgusted with Romans behaviour, hopefully will never use them again. People who rent from them BE CAREFUL!

Wonderful and professional service

Wonderful, friendly and professional staff. Mark and Nathan were superb and a pleasure to deal with. They kept me informed of developments throughout the whole 'tenant find' process. I have not had previous dealing with Romans, however, this won't by any means be my last !

Property valuation with Carl

We recently had a valuation with Carl from Romans and he was absolutely brilliant. He was knowledgeable regarding the area and came prepared with information specific to our property. He was able to provide lots of advice. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to go on the market with him in the future.

Professional and responsive

Professional, diligent, and a pleasure to deal with; I cannot recommend Nicole at Roman's Bristol office highly enough! When my apartment was recently damaged by storms, she went out of her way to help both myself and my tenant.

Abysmal website as unable to contact any branch

I am trying to speak to an agent in my local branch and I cannot speak to them, the page is greyed out. The only think I can do is click on their automated box in the corner. I was planning to ask someone to come and value my property as hubby & I are thinking of downsizing but how can I if I can't get through. It would also mean that any prospective purchaser would be put off too.

Warning to sellers; be aware what Romans is doing

As a seller you may not be aware of some of the practices that Romans are currently employing. I recently make a cash offer on a property; seller accepted. I was then informed by Romans that they wanted me (the buyer) to pay Romans' solicitors a £60 fee on order to check my ID....I refused and said I was not going to start paying the sellers real estate agency fees.They "went back to the seller" and said they had decided to go with a different offer...I strongly suspect that they did not contact the seller and tell them "the buyer doesn't want to pay our £60 fee"....whether they contacted the seller or what they said who knows....but no seller in their right mind is going to change offers because the buyer doesn't want to pay the sellers' own agent some new £60 fee.I don't know what the offer they changed to was, but I'm assuming it was worse or they would have accepted that one in the first place. So Romans have effectively cost the sellers. Clearly they do not have their clients interests at heart.As a buyer be aware that Romans listed properties are going to try to charge you fees for their properties.

Romans in Southampton - full marks.

I have just used Romans in Southampton for a Home Buyer’s Survey. I found their website easy to use to get an intitial quote, which was very reasonable, and followed it up. The staff with whom I dealt were pleasant, efficient and helpful, and a survey was arranged very quickly. I was then phoned by the surveyor very shortly after he finished the survey to give me an outline of what he’d found, and this was followed within 48 hours of a full report. The report was very detailed - far more so than I expected, and I felt confident of going ahead with my purchase. Everything is done on-line or by phone, and it’s very efficient. I would definitely recommend Romans Southampton to anyone needing a good surveyor. Full marks.

Selling through Bracknell office

Valuation, photography, viewings and negotiations handled efficiently. The disappointment came when the Move Manager went on holiday and I wasn't offered contact details for a stand-in, so there was a lack of continuity.

Very impressed

I viewed a property yesterday. Although the property didn't meet my needs I was very impressed by the young lady Saffron who showed us around. She was honest about renting even as a person on universal credit. I have not found some other letting agents to be truthful about this. Infact I've been told several times that I cannot rent properties on universal credit, this is actually illegal. Saffron allowed us to have a really good look around without rushing us and answered all our questions. I would be happy to rent with Romans as they seem to know what they are doing.

I have been renting a house from Romans…

I have been renting a house from Romans for a little over a year. My family and I are very thankful for the accommodations that Romans made for us at the start of the rental but their customer service has been so great, so proficient. We deal mostly with Kimberley Garcia Jones and she is nothing short of amazing, every issue is dealt with, every concern is taken into account. They seem to understand that our life is in these home, our children are in these homes and they care about our family being comfortable and happy in our home. We don't plan to move anytime soon because we love our home and we are very comfortable with the care and attention we receive from Romans.

Brilliant service as always!

Brilliant service as always from the Romans Uxbridge team! As a landlord I’ve dealt with Zara for many years and she is exceptionally competent, professional and highly knowledgeable. More recently I’ve had contact with Arun, again receiving great service and support. It’s always a pleasure to do business with these guys, thank you!

Fantastic service

We had fantastic service selling our flat with Saad at Romans Uxbridge. He found a great buyer for us. We had doubts at the time and a competing offer, but he convinced us to go with with his buyer with well reasoned cogent explanation of facts and details, which we are very glad he did! He was also vital later on in the selling process when some delays and communication issues arose between the conveyancing solicitors. He was quick to fully understand the issues and communicated quickly and clearly with the buyer and their solicitor, which was a key factor in getting these issues resolved quickly.The other members of staff involved in our sale at Romans Uxbridge, were also very good, and were all very polite, friendly and professional. Special thanks in particular to Arun who did some of our viewings, and Natalie from the Move Management team.

Great Customer Service!

I just want to compliment Romans on their great customer service. I was in the position of seeking a new apartment to rent and my main contact at Romans, Anais Payne, helped me to find a suitable property that met my requirements. She always replied to my email enquiries promptly, in a courteous and professional manner. The process of obtaining a new tenancy went smoothly, with guidance provided by Romans throughout the duration. Thank you Romans!

Wonderful Experience

We have rented with Romans now for the last 2 years, and it’s been a very pleasurable experience. We were moving into our first rented property - we were assisted and helped at all angles by Romans and I cannot praise Aston enough who has been an incredible property manager. She is extremely helpful, kind and always willing to give advice or knowledge. Aston has made our moving process a breeze and it wouldn’t have been this easy without her. Thankyou for everything!

Utterly incompetent

The entire year of my tenancy I’ve been contacted by multiple Romans agents accusing me of not paying rent, while all payments were made on time. I’ve sent proof of payments to all the agents that contacted me, all of them said they will fix the issue but they never did. Even their credit control department took up the issue but never fixed it. My landlord has no issue with my rent payments and has agreed to extend my tenancy, yet I still keep getting emails about unpaid rent. Utterly incompetent staff and company, can’t even sort out the transfer of accounts after acquiring another agency

Improving communication

The selling of the service is excellent; once that process has been completed, the communication is sometimes poor, always by email and automated. I pay for a service, but I'm still required to carry out all the work eg assess inventory report pre and post tenant. I would expect them to inform me of the issues, recommendations etc and then let me decide whether I need to address, accept, decline etc. I dont apportion any blame to the inexperienced people I deal with, but its clear the support mechanism or training is not in place to assist these individuals development.
