Can't thank or praise these guys enough. They work very very hard on customers behalf and did a lot of extra leg work I didn't even expect. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to move both in this area and Chelmsford. Thank to Jamie, Justin and the rest of the team.

They are hard to contact them

Its hard to contact them, they do not pick up the calls . When they pick up the phone, there’s a such bad customer service. Do not work with them.

Really poor service

Really poor was selling my house through them I wish I hadn’t. Max a manager at Witney left (don't know why but don't blame him) no one told me he had left just silence - no returned calls. They just do a lot of sitting around. No one seems to know what’s going on they never call back and can never really speak to anyone who knows about the sale. I have sold many houses in my time but these have to be the worst agent I have used. Feedback is non existent. A really poor experience. AVOID.

Underhand practices.

Over value properties to get the deal! We would never of out our house on the market. We can now not afford to sell or buy. All for the companies profitable gain, regardless of families, children and people involved. Very underhand practice! Dudley branch, West Midlands. You know who you are. Been told you are renowned for it!

Dysfunctional

Have been using this company for a fully managed service on our rental property. To provide a balanced review - here's the positives:They will invoice you for their costs on time. The in team branch do their best to help but are at the mercy of a dysfunctional corporate business model....now to the negatives:The remote "support centre" team are anything but supportive. There is a lack of accountability, communication and follow up. Simple tasks such as informing energy suppliers of tenancy changes take months to get resolved. Communication flows from the tenant to landlord are poor. Chasing outstanding issues such as overdue rent or maintenance tasks feels like a tick box exercise which results in further delay / lack of action. Good luck if you have a deposit dispute as they will give you zero support. Most frustrating of all is the fact that I have escalated these issues on multiple occasions to give the company a chance to resolve and yet I find myself in the same place.My simple advice is please do your research and consider very carefully before using this outfit for a tenancy service.

Market Harborough Branch.

I cannot recommend them at all. I went into the branch in Market Harborough to make an enquiry. I made it very clear it was just an enquiry as I had not decided yet if I wanted to sell my property.I received a few calls and I politely informed them I still was not in a position to proceed as I was undecided. No issue until I received a call from an individual calling himself Dylan. He was asking me to consider a valuation. I informed him I will proceed with a valuation when I have decided to proceed with the sale of my home. He pressed me further, and called me mate which I didn't particularly like. I explained why I was not ready to sell as a matter of courtesy, even though I could have simply ended the call politely. I informed him I was accustomed to living in a multicultural area and considered the people in MH, who are mostly English, to be less straightforward than those I was accustomed to dealing with. A neighbour informed me she had 6 no shows when she was selling her home. That gave me some concerns. He said nothing and I continued to explain I was not ready yet. He pushed me further and I told him I'll get back to Connels when I'm ready. While I'm talking he abruptly put the phone down after saying all right mate. I found this extremely rude so I called back to challenge him. He was aggressive and stated he was Indian and I was being racist which is of course total nonsense. He further stated that Connels will not deal with racists. How dare he comment in that way? What do I owe him or Connels? Nothing. How incredibly deeply offensive and an incredible slur on my character without any justification. How would he like it if I called him racist? It was him who stated he was indian.The truth is that he got extremely frustrated at my persistence in refusing to agree to a valuation. They want to value so that a process can start. They want to set the timetable. I won't accept that. Why did he mention he was Indian? On what basis did he conclude I was racist? I found him extremely offensive and made a complaint the same day. Three weeks on and no reply, except one saying the area manager will issue his formal reply soon. How arrogant wording is that? I am a professional landlord and am accustomed to dealing with many estate agents, but just didn't know any in the area and regretfully I walked into their MH branch. I have not experienced such disgusting behaviour from an estate agent. I still await their reply to my complaint.I think others should stay clear of them and I will be sharing my experience of them with many others, face to face, social media and websites I write on. Dylan is an extremely unpleasant man. Connels really scrapes the bottom of the barrel. They can't recruit better than him? Their staff do not have the right to be abusive to others. No one had.

Avoid 188 Queens way, Bletchley

188 Queens way, Bletchley branch manager I had really bad experience with branch manager noor pal in bletchley branch. So disrespectful and hiding everything. Manuplating people. Cuz of him I lost nice house. They told me by the weekend they will close the offers and take to vendor. But today morning Thursday 6th jan. When I called them. They said house is sold already. I was shocked as they told me they will call be before going to vendor. Now playing their own games. House is sold where vendor denied that they didn't came yet. AVOID THIS BRANCH. I wont be doing no more business with them. I would have given 0 starts. I ll be taking further action. So they won't do this to any other person,.

Landlords avoid

I tried to leave a review before this but lost it. In a nutshell: There is not one thing this company has done to help me as a landlord. Even to the point of giving my spare key at the office to the tenant so not having any chance of dealing with things themselves if they had to. No communication Passing the buck between branches Always a staff member either, leaving company, sick, on other phone, at lunch, it’s endless! One department said there’s only three women here in the office! What? This is not Covid! It started before that. This was before! I am at a loss to know why I do not do this myself as paying as I’m them for nothing. I’m so upset at the incompetence of these people and caused me to constantly phone and deal with travelling to and from property. A shout out to Luton Branch and Leighton Buzzard for taking my money on false pretences but being really friendly doing it. Communication with them goes back to carrier pigeon.

Sales team were great, mortgage advisor was pushy

Sales team were greatDoug and the rest of the sales team in East Grinstead were wonderful. Cheerful, proffessional and reliable, much better than most of the other estate agents I spoke to during my house hunt.Mortgage team are incredibly pushy and don't take no for an answer when trying to make you go with their mortgage advisor. Also the only ones I encountered who make you suffer through 30-slide advertisement presentation on your first mortgage appointment, this alone was enough for me not to

Had my survey today and honestly couldn’t have felt more at ease. Super kind and polite throughout, even complimented my home. Came prepared with ladders for the loft, wore shoe protectors, and even helped put the hatch back that I couldn’t.

fleas...

Moved into a rental property that was not ready on time, then moved in at a delayed date to find the property wasn't clean and the broken oven that was meant to be replaced was still in there. Within three days, we discovered the house was infested with fleas and had to leave with all our belongings still in the home. We had an agreement that the tenancy would be terminated immediately and monies returned to us and had to wait until the house had been professionally treated to be able to get any household items out. Refund kept being promised by the branch, yet was nowhere to be seen, after making a formal complaint to head office - we now finally have our funds paid back after three months from the date we moved out. Everything that could of gone wrong with this rental experience, did indeed go wrong. Staff at the branch were polite, just everything was handled in the most shambolic way ever. Wouldn't recommend from my personal experience.

Ashford, Kent Team

Ashford, Kent.I guess with a large company your experience sometimes comes down to the branch, and I have to say that the team at Ashford were excellent throughout the whole process. Nathan gave a solid assessment of value and lined up a strong batch of buyers. It’s a good market and we had lots of offers, but he checked them all throughly and gave us the information we needed to make a wise decision on the offer to take. The bit where they really came into their own was the progression and updates that helped us get the exchange. Tracey always came back quickly and managed to move things forward each time. If for any reason she wasn’t available everyone in the branch stepped up to help. Our chain held together, and my Mum is now happily living in her new home. Truly excellent work.

Stay away from them

I used their service for let only because their price was cheaper than other estate agents. It was a simple process. Pictures were already online and the tenants were found the next day. But the communications afterwards were poor, staff dealing with it totally locking of professionalism and responsibility! I had to keep calling their manager in another branch to ask what was happening and chase the result. On the day the tenants were supposed to go to the branch to get the keys, the shop was closed! Even it was a normal working day and no reason was informed! I will never use them again!
