GoogleEden was such a pleasure to work with renting our new home. It makes everything smooth to move in. She is very organised herself and how the paperwork needed in timely manner and she's always there to answer immediately for any queries we had through phone or via email.

GoogleI bought a house through Frank Innes. It was a newer house that came with a lot of legal complications on the purchase due to documents not being available or never issued in the first place when built. Alice and Brandonβs constant communication between myself and my sellers solicitors and seller made an extremely stressful process a lot easier. Sometimes they are hard to get hold of on the phone at busy times but are very responsive to emails and I always had an answer to a question within the same day.

GoogleI have nothing but positive things to say here.
I found myself in a search for a new home, in somewhat of a rush. I located a property online and called Frank Innes to discuss. Simon was clear and concise with his information and booked me in for a viewing same day.
Unfortunately, work got in the way so I couldn't make it personally but Simon agreed to do a WhatsApp video viewing for me which was hugely appreciated - answering any questions and giving an accurate, honest opinion for me.
From there, it was a swift process, Amy helped me to move things along in a swift manner due to my speedy requirement, within a week I had the keys to the new home for me and my girls.
When I first walked in I was not disappointed, the place was exactly as described - okay, a couple of issues arose in the first few days such as a faulty shower knob but the process and communication to the Landlord was swift and I'm in the process of getting it replaced.
Simon and Amy really sorted me out, their speedy and professional "can-do" attitude saved me from sofa surfing longer than necessary.
Thank you <3

GoogleWe had the pleasure of working with Amelia as our mortgage advisor, and we couldnβt be more grateful for her support throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Amelia was knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly responsive. She took the time to explain everything in clear terms and made sure we felt confident at every stage of securing our mortgage.
Amelia went above and beyond to find the best possible deal for us, and her attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind. She made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. We genuinely felt like she had our best interests at heart the whole way through.
We highly recommend Amelia to anyone looking for expert mortgage advice and outstanding customer service!

GoogleI cannot recommend Frank Innes in Burton-Upon-Trent at all and would give them no stars if I could.
My daughter has recently rented a flat through this branch. I have dealt with several letting agents previously as I have properties which I rent out myself and I can say this is the worst letting agents I have ever come across!
When I picked up the key from the office (the agent actually gave me their set of keys as well as the tenant keys which I had to return to the office), I went to check the Inventory as my daughter was working and could not gain access due to the door lock not working, so had a wasted 3 hour journey from my home.
I went the next day with my husband and, with a lot of jiggling of the lock we managed to gain access. We found that the smoke alarm was expired by 2 years and the carbon monoxide alarm was expired by around 9 months. This was particularly worrying as there is no fire escape, only one staircase with a door lock that didn't work properly, and the boiler was in the bedroom!
On ringing the letting agent, I was told that the alarms weren't the landlord's responsibility and I could buy one from Wickes for Β£6. It is definitely the landlord's responsibility, and these should have been checked and replaced on the inspection before check-in. I had to quote "Landlord's Responsibilities" to the property management team.
After much debate and quoting the legal responsibilities to the lettings team, a member of the team installed new alarms with blue tack, which did not hold and the alarms fell off the ceilings. It is advisable, when alarms have had a sharp knock, to replace them, but Frank Innes would not replace them.
After a few weeks of complaining about the front door lock, the agent at Frank Innes insisted that I cover the cost of the call out for the contractor, otherwise they wouldn't send anyone out to look at it. I agreed, as I knew that the lock was definitely faulty. When the contractor took the lock out, he said someone had taken the lock apart and put it together incorrectly and it would never work properly! Considering this was the only fire escape, it was extremely worrying that my daughter would not have been able to get out if there was a fire or if the boiler was faulty and emitting carbon monoxide. I was told that the door lock was not the landlord's responsibility and again I had to quote "Landlord Responsibilities" to the property management team.
My daughter complained about mould in the bathroom and was told to clean it off herself. This should have been dealt with before check-in as it was not her responsibility.
No-one at Frank Innes knew where the water meter was, so it was impossible to take meter readings. The water company overcharged my daughter quite considerably for water used, and we finally managed to find out from the water company where the water meter was, in order to sort out the overcharge (it is in the pavement outside the property, next to one for another property so was not immediately obvious).
After my daughter had moved out and prior to check out being done, we were informed that a contractor had been let into the property, who could have caused damage to the property that my daughter may have been charged for. She was also not invited to be present at the check out inventory.
We were told different stories by different people, and one of these instances was that the landlord was difficult to contact. It later turned out that he actually works for the company!
It seems that the letting agent and landlord would not care if my daughter had been burnt alive or poisoned with carbon monoxide whilst she slept!

The customer service must be passed down from Nick Miller, Regional Director, rude and not wanting to assist with any concerns or complaints with the Burton Branch, shocking and disgusting experience π³

This would be your next course of action should you remain dis-satisfied. As you can see from the other reviews and overall score, this is a branch that very much cares about customer service and ensuring we work hard to meet customer expectations.

Nothing was to much trouble for Alice and she kept us In the loop during the whole process.
