TrustpilotThe perfect name actually CON-nells.
The perfect name actually CON-nells.I was happy till the day before move-in but since this agency is full of fraudsters; they lie and deceive you till you make any payments and once that is done with good faith then they start ignoring you because that's what con artists do.

Went to them to rent a house,booked a viewing. Got a call on viewing day that they had to rebook, i took another day off work for the viewing just to get another call saying that the landlord doesn't accept us because i get in work beneffits...this was meant to be disscussed after viewing not before and in my opinion Michelle has this house put asside for some of her friends. Totally unprofessional

TrustpilotCon - nells
Put in a offer with connells estate agents and basically forcing our hand to use there in house mortgage adviser or else they wouldn’t put forward our offer, we had all or correct documents and a mortgaging principle. Which I later found out was illegal! They basically told me I’m not interested in the house due to not using their in house mortgage adviser.

Would not book a viewing for a flat without first making me come to their office to push their own morgage advisor who comes with a £599 price tag. They said that this was due to them recieving too many "time-wasters".

TrustpilotStill awaiting refund
Was informed i would receive a refund of my holding fee from the plymouth branch for a property that was taken off the market. Have still not received this a MONTH later and am stuck in a loop of the branch blaming the accounts department and vice versa. Also have been informed that i am only due a partial refund even though i never received any services from them. Do not trust.

The worst Agency to deal with was running late to meeting that was arranged only 20mins prior to me leaving and this is at peak traffic, the guy was so rude because I was going to be late, would not let me speak kept talking to me how bad I am. Worst Agency ever will never sell or buy through them ever

GoogleI am super pleased with the support I received from Megan ward as my mortgage advisor on the purchase of a house. Communication was prompt, and Megan answered all my questions and offered the best advice. Always showed enthusiasm, really friendly and had lots of knowledge throughout. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for making the process easier!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

TrustpilotWorst Agent Ever
Awful communicationBooked viewing in person but then 8 minutes before the confirmed time another email arrived to say that this would be a Desk Top Valuation - meaning agent would not even attend the property to view. What a waste of time!!!

TrustpilotAwful
Never rent using Connells as a letting agent. They are completly clueless in their Dorchester office, have don't even realise have their contract is either out of date practice or not even law. Avoid.

TrustpilotGot to be the worst surveyors
Got to be the worst surveyors I’ve ever dealt with. When I apply for a mortgage this embarrassment are always the ones who ruin the process. They don’t value the flat, they value the street with their eyes closed. Anyone could do their job. Hopeless. They’ve obviously got a cheap contract with these mortgages companies, to save mortgage companies from paying the full loan to value.

TrustpilotDisappointed
We signed up with Connells on 31st May and were promised the heavens. From then until now we have had one viewing and yesterday they got our viewing mixed up with another property. Do they even know what they are doing in those offices. Very disappointed and would not recommend Connells to anyone.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE. These are liars and frauds.
DO NOT USE.After agreeing to let a property to me, they phone 1-week before the move-in date to inform me that they have let it to someone else, despite my having paid the 'holding deposit'. To make matters worse the agent giggled down the phone as she informed me that I was a week from homelessness.Evidently the holding deposit is worthless and offers a tenant no security.

There survey report was rubbish and full of assumptions rather than facts. Since moving into the property we have serious issues which should have been reported.There lack of response speaks volumes.I have a brain tumour and advised not to get into stressfull situations alas they have made my heath worse. I have complained to RICS and I suggest others do the same.

Trustpilot9 months and counting with leaking shower
Waited and still waiting for 9 months now for a leaking shower to be fixed. Currently had approx 5 different plumbers “try” to fix it with no joy. Had to fight for about the same time to get hold of our landlords to make them away of how they are wasting their money paying these people to “manage” their property. We have actually started fixing other problems ourselves.

Wow just reading some of these reviews glad were having nothing to do with them!Total lack of communication! Viewed a property said would ring us to let us know the outcome we had it, next thing we see is Let agreed on picture m, not even a courtesy phone call telling us!
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.
