Health ruined by mould; dehumanising experience

Health ruined by mould; upped rent £150 at the annual review and when I haggled this down, I was issued a Section 21 no-fault eviction 3 months later.They're genuinely borderline predatory. It took 6 months to fix the flat windows which all had broken handles and did not seal, meaning in winter it was impossible to keep the flat warm. Black mould was present on the check-in report on move-in, and alongside that all the fixtures and fittings were marked as needing repair. I was put through a back and forth for 6 months to have the windows fixed, where they had 5 contractors come out to look at the issue and give a quote. Seemingly they were looking for the cheapest labour going.That was over winter, meaning I was sleeping in a drafty and moudly flat for that time. Once the windows were fitted, they just put sealant over the mould which doesn't solve the issues.Through out the eviction process they purposefully mislead and harassed me to apply pressure for me to leave. Directly contradicting advice given by the local council and citizen's advice. As an ambulatory disabled person, it's unfeasible to pack up and move your life within 3 months.During this period, there were minimum 3 visits to the flat without my prior approval, with less than 24hours notice. Sometimes they would notify me at the end of a working day, so it'd be impossible to get my consent. All for surveyors to appraise the property which has been on the market for over 2 years with no traction.Twice someone opened the door and walked into the flat whilst I was mid-work meeting. Which is just completely dehumanising and disrespectful.

Brainless and unkind staff

Romans were nice until the contract was signed. After that it was all down hill. They have absolutely no consideration for tenants. The house was approved by them as cleaned but was absolutely FILTHY when handed over. There were literally dozens of nails lying around which is a safety hazard. After begging and yelling and doing everything possible, they got the landlord to send a cleaner, who did the bare minimum for about 1 hour. Every time I reached out to them about something, they didn’t even have the brains to read through the contract they sent and answer correctly. They were just rude and would say “that can’t be done” until I POINTED out in the contract that it in fact CAN be done. They also ripped me off all along but especially in the end when I was leaving by expecting me to professionally cleaned the place AND pay for cleaning. All when it was handed over FILTHY. There was also an issue with mold and a leak in the bathroom which they did not bother with until it got out of hand and I called and threatened to break my contract on the basis of the house being unliveable and a health hazard. They have no humanity or brains whatsoever, worst letting agency ever. Extremely unkind staff and I would not recommend the experience to anyone.

Romans have managed our property…

Romans have managed our property portfolio for over 20 years. During the more recent years, Lisa Fazal has been the property manager of a number of our flats in Bracknell. She has responded promptly to arrange any necessary maintenance required, and followed-up with ourselves and the tenants to make sure that everything has been concluded in a satisfactory manner. The tenants are happy, we are happy and she deserves full recognition

Excellent Service

I have been working with Lisa Fazal in the Romans Bracknell office on the rental of my property for the past 10 years. During this time Lisa has consistently provided an excellent level of service and support. The property has been rented continuously during this time and Lisa is always very responsive and goes above and beyond to resolve any issues between the tenants and myself. Lisa is a pleasure to work with and is very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive!

Where do we start

Where do we start. From day one the communication was an issue or should say the lack of communication. Getting hold of anyone was a joke. You would constantly get out of office emails with promises of "I/we will get back to you as I am back in the office". Strangely this never happened. In the space of the 5 years we have been with Romans we have had at least 7 different property managers. There is never any pro-active communication that they have changed until we reach out.However the worst part of them is the lack of caring.I suffer from asthma and whilst it is not serious it still plays a part in my life. In October 2019 we notified Romans that damp had appeared in our hallway cupboard. This was ignored. As it was in a cupboard we were not too bothered by it. However it did not stay in the cupboard and soon spread to the bedroom. Again after emailing Romans there was no action.From our own investigation we found that the guttering was not draining correctly and the rain was pouring down the wall thus causing the damp. Passed this to Romans and... nothing.As it got worse and worse we ended up having to stop using the room and move into the lounge to sleep. Finally Romans decided to take action after we threatened to get the council involved.What followed was 6 months of constant evaluations with several different companies which we can only assume was to find the lowest price.Finally nearly 2 years after first telling Romans the issue was resolved and the rooms fixed. But as the guttering is still not correct how long till it happens again???Thankfully Romans are no longer looking after our property but even this was a litany of contradictory information. Please whatever you do, DO NOT USE ROMANS

Excellent Service

The Romans team were superb from start to finish, in what ended up being a very long house sale. Initially, Alfie led me through the process of getting the house onto the market, and through the initial stages of the sale, and was excellent. The sale was then delayed by probate, and I can't thank Rhianna for the fantastic support that she gave me throughout the process up until the sale went through - she was a model of compassion and professionalism, and went beyond my expectations. She was a pleasure to work with and deserves a huge amount of credit. Alison, the Move Manager, was also great. I was very impressed with everyone I dealt with at Romans, and would have no hesitation using them again, if the need arises. Great job.

Anais from Romans Caversham

We had been looking for a flat for a while through various estate agents. Anais from Caversham branch was outstanding with the support she provided by keeping us constantly and communicating efficiently- she certainly stood out from the crowd! When we did secure a property, Anais led us through the process step by step in a very clear way- she made the whole process so much easier - highly recommend Anais from Romans Estate Agents.

Bad experience with Windsor branch LETTINGs

As a key worker family we had an horrible experience in Windsor branch during lockdown. In web ad house looked perfect, in reality water was leaking from the lamps and bulbs. In a middle of the night evacuated with kids from the property into the hotel. Next 6 months during the lockdown plumbers are coming few times a week, nobody wearing masks and PPE. Me and my husband wasn't able to carry on our jobs, as always someone was coming to fix the property. Obviously, we had a very bad experience, especially when you are overwhelmed whith your job and servicing nation. No compensation, no apologies, thanks God they let us finish contract earlier without any penalty. Please avoid!!

Romans Windsor is SO BAD

Romans Windsor is SO BAD. If I could give zero stars I would. Blinds in kitchen didnt work for weeks, I was told by the property manager that basically- she didnt believe me leading to the street being able to see in every night and me rarely using the kitchen. I didnt feel safe with people around looking into to my window each night. A heater plug switch blew up with fire causing me damage, cracked switches in the house and floors that were not I insulated at ALL so you could hear every single word and vice versa from flat below with Zero privacy. This wasnt conveyed to me at the start. Cracked switches in the flat which they denied were there when I moved in and tried to see if i had photos of them. My designer watch went missing for days after a viewing and the day of the next viewing it reappeared. Charged £5-20 for every single mark in the walls when the agency should be painting them- a total money making scheme, a small mark on a wall doesnt cost 5 pounds. £20 for a 'few weeds' in the garden when there is no garden, just a carpark at the back of the house which I told them I couldnt use because of the nightmare neighbour (who they had insisted they didnt know about when I moved in) as well as them Telling me I couldnt use carparking space at the back. Absolutely DISGUSTED. I should have got accident compensation from them for the electrocution and compensation for all the stress of not having blinds and being kept awake all night almost every night by nightmare neighbour who knew there was no floor insulation so made extra noise for attention all the time. No understanding and basically no apology, just trying to put the blame on all of the above on me. They dont take responsibility for anything. They hit me with a bill of £300 when I left, after every thing was professionally cleaned and ticked off the inventory list they gave me and left in mint condition. Left me emotionally and physically scarred and immense illness, stress etc. Horrible horrible people and service. Irresponsible, opportunistic, rude, zero empathy or understanding. Still recovering from it and I'll take my complaint much higher.

Exceptional Service From Scott Stevens

We moved into a property in Clifton, Bristol last year with Romans. Since our first interaction, Scott Stevens has been an absolute delight to work with. Scott has consistently been kind, compassionate, incredibly hard-working and has answered all of our questions promptly. In all the years I have rented, Scott has comfortably been the best letting advisor I have encountered. I honestly can't stress enough how easy he has made the process of moving into a new home for my partner and I. I could not recommend Scott more highly if you planning to let with Romans.

Fantastic service.

I met Christine Lancaster since January 2020 I rented this property, she is a wonderful property manager to me. Anytime I needed something to be fixed in the house she didn't hesitate to get it solved. English is not my first language so sometimes I find it a bit difficult to explain my needs but she'll be patient and polite untill she gets what I meant.

Romans performance

I have recently used, for the first time, Romans Swindon to market and let my flat. Lauren and Mia of Romans have been very proactive and knowlegable and have kept me fully informed throughout on progress. My flat was let quickly and for a realistic rent. The letting process has gone very well and I have been very pleased with the entire Romans experience.

An agency you should avoid

An agency you should avoid. At the beginning of our contact, I specified that I wanted to rent and pay a deposit, but they selected the "no deposit option" for me to pay them a monthly fee. I have now terminated my contract with them and am having problems getting my deposit back. They are looking for all kinds of reasons to charge me extra. They said they found a problem with the refrigerator and it will cost me £160 to repair, and a similar refrigerator costs about £100-120 new. I cleaned everything impeccably, and they are asking me for money for another cleaning and moth treatment. They were not interested in contacting me after check-out to present the situation to me. However, I have never seen this report. I contacted them three times in three weeks, and they barely responded. I recommend you avoid this agency.

I have been with Romans for 28 years

I have been with Romans for 28 years and they manage my Bath property. I live in Australia and rarely get the chance to visit them in person. I have always found that I they have managed my property with the minimum of fuss and dealing via e-mail has been seemless and overcome distance and time differences with no effort.

The Worst Estate Agents Ever!

The team at Romans High Wycombe were the worst I have ever come across. I have been renting since I was eighteen and have never experienced such a disregard for my health or well being. I took on the property in June and was plagued with heating and hot water problems. The property was damp and destroyed both my skin and chest. I actually paid my rent in full and moved out of the property early. Lisa is unprofessional having lied to me and ignored my complaints. She left me in freezing temperatures without both hot water and heating. I find the team in High Wycombe especially the property manager Lisa both disgusting and morally without conscience. I would not recommend Romans to anyone.

Romans Bristol

Scott Stevens was amazing to work with, throughout the whole process - they wanted nothing but to find me the right place and did exactly that! Scott and Abigail Jones have been nothing but helpful, updating me whenever possible - even to let me know there’s no updates just yet.The process in reporting to the Building Manager to get things sorted has been slow as the contractors were meant to do it when I moved in two months ago… but good other than that.

Romans Maidenhead

I have just completed on a property and dealt with Romans Maidenhead branch. Both Adam and Chloe supported and guided me through the process along with Cheryl who joined at the end. All three were brilliant. They got me answers quickly and worked with both solicitors to push the sale on. My only advice would be to get the move managers involved far earlier in the process. As soon as Cheryl was involved things moved very quickly. This would have really helped to have her earlier in in the process.Thank you all. You were great

Romans agency

We were renting from Romans agency in Bath. We left as soon as our contract ended. We got a flat in a building with a night club and homeless shelter across the street. And nobody tell us this. Apart from the noise and questionable security, what about the crowds every day and every third night in a middle of pandemic? Bottles, glasses, handkerchiefs or just semiliquid waste on the street. Everybody is free to do whatever he wants but I had to be witness of this for 6 months? This is deception, as a solicitor told me.We were renting from Romans agency and never again.

Rented a property through Romans

We have rented a property through Romans in Bracknell for 18 months. Our property Manager, Sarah Boyens was always very professional, friendly and helpful. She always responded quickly and efficiently to any issues and followed up with us to ensure that the work had been done. Our leaving process was very clear with helpful tips and guides to what needed to be done.
