TrustpilotDon’t deal with this branch
This branch is absolutely useless. I went in with my SO and told them all the details they needed such as bedrooms, date my current tenancy ended, when I needed to move out etc.They then showed us a property and told us it was available from the 11th of august (First lie they told) where we emailed saying that we will pay the holding deposit with the intention of moving in on the 28th of August.After a stupid amount of reference checks which with most the lettingshub said they didn’t need and that I should send it to the agency, who in turn forgot they requested it.We finally got our contract which said the 13th of September…After calls with the Sal (head office person who was amazing) we found out that the property was actually available from the 13th of September. Since our tenancy finished before the 13th we were livid.The manager of the branch is useless.The amount of times Sal had to apologise on their behalf is insane.After a bit of back and forth we moved in on the 4th of September to a flat that was absolutely destroyed, a mess and contained mould!The agency told the landlord it was spotless and told me there looked to be no serious problems!Overall don’t deal with this branch.

TrustpilotFirst Rate.
What a welcome change to deal with a company that consistently demonstrate professionalism and efficiency. Having a number of queries I struck up a rapport with Sarah (Boyens). Sarah listened, offered solutions, and followed up by telephone and email. Thorough, conscientious, meticulous and friendly, she epitomises best practice, I unequivocally recommend her and Romans. Well done.

TrustpilotUnprofessional, unresponsive, unethical, and extortionate
If we could zero stars, we would!Romans (Reading Town centre branch) let us a property (2 bed flat) with dangerously broken decking, a shower head that did not work, and broken blinds. We were told that this would all be fixed as soon as we moved in. 2 years later, we had enough of their games of passing us over from one agent to another and telling us endless stories of how things would get fixed once they heard from the landlord. The landlord turned up to the flat for 15 minutes and said he would tell Romans to fix it. Romans lay blame on him, and this went on and on. They were never fixed!!! Despite numerous calls and emails. We warned them that the damaged decking was fragile and was prone to more damage, but this fell on deaf ears. After moving out 3 weeks early! They sent us a bill stating that they want to take 90% of our deposit to fix the damage to the flat and an eye-watering cleaning bill of £500 for a flat that was already cleaned. We contacted a local clear who said the job was £40 maximum for a 2-hour clean. All our counteroffers were rejected, for no reason & they blamed us for not accessing their platform which was broken. We had to resort to sending them screenshots. All this, a complete waste of time and shockingly clearly seeming desperate to make money from good tenants (that paid every time and gave them 3 weeks to show other people around and lived with broken items). It is clear, that, they want this money to upgrade the flat. This damage was a) mostly their fault b) if caused by us then it was minor wear and tear c) they had people in and out viewing the flat for 3 whole weeks before they sent us this check-out bill. I would never recommend them. Be aware of using them, they are unprofessional, unresponsive, unethical, and extortionate.

TrustpilotVery good!
this is an official review and reflection on my experience while onboarding with Romans. Melanie Santos at the head office out of others I spoke took a personal approach in helping me with what was a very stressful time. Along with our deadline to move out of the property mixed in with pressures of moving town, Melanie provided invaluable help and kept on top of my case. Even when there was complications in the application she provided me with solutions and answered the phone anytime, which I know she would've had to manage because I am aware theres probably many others she's assigned to. This shows me she values her position and the way Romans is represented in terms of professionalism. I'd like this review to also be a thankyou to her for making the process easy for me and my family. If I had a business I would want my employees to take it as personal as Melanie Santos does because its reassurance of a job well done! Thankyou Melanie and good luck with your future endevours.

TrustpilotGreat Letting Experience
I wanted to take a moment to share my wonderful experience working with San and Lucky from Roman's during my recent letting process. From start to finish, it was a remarkable experience, and I am genuinely impressed by the exceptional service I received. San and Lucky demonstrated a remarkable level of professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. From the initial consultation to the final lease signing, they consistently went above and beyond to ensure that my needs and preferences were met. Communication was also a strong point. They were incredibly responsive, promptly returning calls and emails, providing updates and answering all of my questions with patience and clarity. This made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

TrustpilotRomans Lower Early
Romans was our rental agent. Received absolutely terrible service from the property manager. The boiler thermostat and circuit board gave up just as winter started. After numerous back and forth with Romans and the plumber and 3 weeks of cold water eventually it was repaired. Romans had absolutely zero empathy for us entering winter without heating and hot water. The property agent did not even get proper feedback from the plumber that initially a temporary fix was put in. No apologies and in general a terrible customer service ethic. As tenants that paid the rent on time every month we were treated very poorly. I would not under any circumstances recommend Romans Lower Early branch.

Anais at Romans was courteous & professional in all communications - she kept me updated whilst I was out of the country (+11hrs time difference) & fedback to her manager any queries she couldn’t answer immediately herself. I was happy with the terms & flexibility of the contract & am delighted with the quality of tenants now settling in. As I was overseas and unable to meet them first hand- Anais’ assurances & professional instinct were invaluable. Thank you for an excellent service.

Matthew Gullick in the Winchester branch was amazing, even when there were issues and hold backs he always maintained contact with both me and my father. Whatever we asked he would try to resolve and made the process smooth and fun. He smashed it and would definitely work with him again in the future.

TrustpilotWorst agent ever!
I share the sentiment with those with similar experiences. The experience with this agent, has been nothing but unpleasant. They were quick to take a year's worth of rental from us (during COVID) - which quite plainly could have paid our mortgage off, in our home country, but don't deem it urgent to repay us our deposit. It has now been 6 weeks and counting. They lack understanding of the economic environment, compassion, customer service, administration capability and just plain courtesy/professionalism.I feel we have nothing but been taken advantage of...Absolutely shocking!!!!

Denise Hurn gave us some excellent service that wasn’t in her job description. She dealt with a leak in our property which is her job I believe in property management, but a couple of months later when we were trying to hand in our notice for the property and were having trouble reaching the correct person she dealt with the whole thing. She also answered some questions we had, this is not her job which I think make me the service even more impressive.

TrustpilotBe warned they will sit on your money as long as they can
Romans found a tenant on the second attempt. The tenant paid a years rent upfront and a deposit. For some reason, Romans took the deposit and agreed to pass it to me. They took a week to send the money to me. I complained and was advised that originally I was misinformed that I would receive the money within 1-3 days, apparently it's always been 5-7 days. I found the admin manager rude and unhelpful, but as the branch manager was on holiday, someone else called me to let me know - he was okay. Also, they would not provide a contractor to help me put a smoke alarm in the property - as I am not living locally. Also, about as awkward as you can get when I asked them to send a key to myself or my own contractor - so I had to get the contractor to visit their offices to collect. I wont be using them again, their rates are very high for the customer service I received (nearly 1600 to find a tenant let only). Be warned they will sit on your money as long as they can to obtain the interest on it and do as little as possible for their over inflated prices.

TrustpilotGot the job done and maintained outstanding customer service throughout
Romans (Jonathan Hawthorne in particular) provided first class service from their market appraisal, recommended listing price to sell our house including a professional photographer for our property brochure and online listing. Our house sold in 2 days at full asking price to proceedable buyers. Communication was excellent throughout and the experience of Jonathan Hawthorne meant all troubleshooting ended positively. Very impressive!

TrustpilotFelt like Romans were neither listening nor representing my best interest
Initial branch manager confirmed a term of sale with my buyers that I did not agree to. Despite regularly and consistently stating this via phone and email (and through my solicitor) this term was not resolved. I felt like Romans were neither listening nor representing my best interest, just pushing for the sale. Ended-up costing me, although Romans shared a small part of the cost after admitting fault. Not great. If I could do it all over again, would I choose Romans? Absolutely not.

TrustpilotDont bother with them!
From my experience, i would not purchase a house through Romans, I would NOT let a house through Romans and when my tenancy expires i will certainly NOT renew it through Romans. Very sad for the landlord who will miss out because of the exceptionally poor level of service Romans provide for a simple paying tenant. It appears to be - sign up - then forget you exist.
