GoogleJack and Ahmad have from the start have been very helpful, understanding and within a couple of days let my property. James is new on the team and he also has brilliant customer service.
I do find the management fee a bit high but they are always there if I need them. I also still have the flexibility of having in my own trades people making repairs etc.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleI would like to recommend the Countrywide Deposit Scheme team, particularly Liz Pope who has been very thorough & professional in dealing with claiming against negligent tenants who caused many thousands of £ of damage. Liz has guided me in gathering evidence to at least secure some funds back.

GoogleElla from the first point of contact was extremely responsive, professional and helpful and within hours a list of potential properties had been supplied. Having had the opportunity to review these viewing were arranged. Again the viewing was very professionally executed and Ella again was very knowledgeable and helpful. My opinion that she is definitely a credit to her company. I took great delight in advising the other large estate agent companies who took days to even make the initial contact that they were too late as I had already found a property.

GoogleEvery time I request to view a property, I get a phone call from a woman called Ella, asking all sort of questions, yes, I understand they need to know if I can afford to pay the asking price, what I don't get is why afterwards I get bombarded with texts about properties I am not remotely interested. Have you heard about GDPR? I just want a viewing, tell me date and time, all the info I have already given online and don't want to register! It is frustrating!

GoogleHere’s a polished single-paragraph review highlighting Ellis Young’s exceptional support:
---
From the outset, **Ellis Young** made buying my first home feel straightforward, approachable, and truly personal, he guided me through every step with clarity, patience, and genuine enthusiasm. Always quick to answer questions and follow up on next actions, he ensured I never felt lost in the process. His honesty and straight‑talking approach meant I could trust his guidance completely, and he worked relentlessly, chasing solicitors, coordinating with others in the chain, and keeping everything moving, until contracts exchanged. What stood out most was his warmth and attentiveness: rather than rushing me, he listened carefully to my needs and always offered considered, realistic advice. In short, Ellis turned a potentially overwhelming first-time experience into something completely manageable and even enjoyable, building confidence and calm through the entire journey.

TrustpilotIf you have a property to rent
If you have a property to rent and are looking which letting agent to use- AVOID Palmer Snell. We have just got (what's left) of our property after being rented for over 2 years with Palmer Snell. In that time they let the property degrade to an extent that the deposit will go nowhere near to fix the damage. 4 inspection reports were done - all very brief (4 words for one of them!). Very few photos and none addressing the big issues. In the 1st 6 months most of the garden panels were destroyed and removed by the tenants. This was never picked up on (even with the lone fence post in the middle of the garden being quite a big clue). rats had got in but the major floor damage *and urine smell) was not picked up on. If you have a property to rent, ignore all the lovely words Palmer Snell will say about what they will do and go with, ideally, a local letting agency.

TrustpilotDO NOT GO WITH THIS ESTATE AGENTS.
I am absolutely disgusted by this estate agents. They advertised our property without permission from us, we were going to rent a property and they were is meant to just look at the property to give us an idea for what we could rent this for. Instead they put this property on the Market without talking to us. When I asked them to remove the property, there words to us were that this was not there problem. I would never use this company, they talk to you like poo and laugh at you when you are trying to talk to them. This is a disgusting company and behaviour.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE
We placed a house to be sold with Parker Snell Bournemouth. After the initial flurry to sign us it was noticed that they had not advertised our house to the market and we were told that this was due to illness. A buyer did come forward, however Parmer Snell were not proactive in any way and the sale fell through.
We found Parmer Snell misleading and did not provide truthful information.
Someone else in the same road who also put their house on the market has also commented that they are ‘useless’
We recommend using a Family run agency. We used Hearns in Bournemouth who were outstanding. They were continually proactive throughout and achieved a sale of our property.
Use Parmer Snell at your peril.
