TrustpilotVery Poor Property Management Service
As a quick summary, they are not managing anything after the contract is signed.I bought this buy-to-let property from Keenans, they are doing alright, therefore I do expect they will offer me the same level of service when using them to manage to let off the property.Their salesperson is passionate and impressive therefore I’m happy to sign the contract with them. But very unfortunate, I guess that salesperson is the only person who is passionate about their property management team. As agreed, they did quote all items that need repair or work to me, and I transferred the required amount in less than 12 hours, I think it’s reasonable to expect they will act quickly as they already received payment, not necessarily in days but at least within 1-2wks, and I waited for 6 weeks they still not complete the work (the work should take 3-4 day). Most importantly, I still have no clue about when they will complete the job.I called/sent emails to them numerous times, and I never get a direct reply to my question, I’ll call you back later is the only reply they use but they either do not call back / not answer your question directly.Maybe updating the status of work regularly is too difficult for them, but I believe it’s very basic when someone says they are managing something, let the customer know what to expect, and have no surprise. But their property management team failed to do so, I don’t know when the property can be let, what else needs to be done, how long will it keep unoccupied, and how many more bills I need to pay. Now it ends up in a lose-lose situation, especially during such a market situation which is out of the property to rent, but I must keep mine unoccupied and not get any rental income, and Keenan doesn’t get the commission too.I tried to look for a channel to complain, but it seems it's not available.

TrustpilotPoor lettings management
If you are a landlord - I would not recommend using keenans to manage your property.When my tenants handed in their notice - they didn't tell me or do anything about it so the property was empty a month longer than it needed to be.They never respond to emails to the enquiry inbox, and don't have any sort of processes in place to manage the property. For example when the property was empty they did not tell the utility companies my forwarding address to contact me so I've had to chase this up myself and risk having unpaid bills.They have caused me an undue amount of stress and I will leave them soon as they have broken their side of the contract numerous times and so I have no confidence they are looking after my property.Really poor service, incredibly stressful to deal with and overall disappointing experience.I have used other lettings agents in the past who are much better so I know they are not all as chaotic as this.

TrustpilotElla Walmsley
Ref 4335629 Epsom Way, AccringtonWhen I decided to put the house up for sale, Keenans was the first choice. My contact was Jonathon who maintained contact during the following two years while probate was being progressed.When probate was granted Ella took over the conveyancing and kept me up-to-date. The sale went through remarkably quickly. I met her three times and found her accommodating and efficient.My enquiries were dealt with promptly and accurately and it was a pleasure to talk with her.Although Ella had numerous clients constantly in attendance it always seemed she was working just for me.RegardsPat Thornton

TrustpilotThe company discriminates against…
The company discriminates against people on benefits. People on benefits have to provide a guarantor which is ridiculous and unfair, as most people on benefits are less likely to have that, the rent gets paid the same as if you were working so policy that makes no sense. And the very lovely gentleman slammed the phone down on me when I said I would leave a review. If you don't have a brain cell the last sentence was sarcasm.

TrustpilotFive stars not enough
If I could give more than five stars I would!I dealt with Keenans both buying a property and selling my own and in both regards I couldn't have asked for a better service. Georgia in the office was nothing short of super efficient in all her dealings. Whenever I sent an email I received an almost immediate response. I was kept informed of all developments on an ongoing basis and received lots of helpful advice along the way. Helena the valuer in respect of my sale was also super efficient, polite and very professional. In fact in all my dealings with Keenans all members of staff have been efficient, courteous, polite, friendly, informative and very professional. In short, highly recommended.

TrustpilotNicky was exceptional
This was quite a stressful experience until Nicky became involved to assist the sale through to completion. Really driven and motivated and had her work cut out with the poor conveyancing service we had. Her communication was faultless and we were informed at every step of the process. Her wonderful personality shone through and it was always a pleasure to speak with her. Note to Keenans, use this lady as a perfect example of customer service . Thanks for everything Nicky!

Richard has been very professional and knowledgeable. His relaxed demeanor and approach to viewings has put both us and the viewers at ease. We would recommend Keenans to others wishing to sell their property.

TrustpilotAVOID AVOID AVOID
Where do I begin. Keenans are liars. If your selling a property through them then please avoid. They will not get the best price for you. All they are after is a quick turnaround and put pressure on the sellers in accepting an offer which in this instance they were old and vulnerable. I'd put in an offer on a house I liked only to be informed that my offer was rejected because of the size of the deposit of 70%. Why should that matter when I had a mortgage in principle agreed for the remaining amount. I then spoke to the vendors directly who informed me that Keenans had put them off from accepting my offer despite it being the highest. The poor vendors were old and had been lied to by both Robert and the branch manager Jonathon about my financial situation. I will be taking this matter up with the property ombudsman as Keenans should not be allowed to conduct their business like this.

TrustpilotCannot speak highly enough of Keenan's.
Cannot speak highly enough of Keenan's! If you need an estate agency, do not hesitate to hire this company. You'll be in the safest of hands. The whole staff team are brilliant. They sold our house on the first viewing day and "held our hand" right the way through the whole process. Every query was responded to immediately. Their professionalism and customer care are beyond compare. We had not moved house for 30 years so we were very nervous about the process, but the Keenan's team made sure everything went smoothly for us. They were particularly supportive about my husband's serious illness and kept this in the forefront of their minds during every interaction. It doesn't matter who picks up the office phone - you're guaranteed the same excellent customer service from every single team member. We can't thank them all enough for everything, although special mention must go to Paul, Sam and Lauren for their outstanding support, professionalism and empathy. If ever we need to move house again, only Keenan's will do and we recommend them without hesitation.

GoogleNot impressed, was only listed for 4 months and was constantly nagged to reduce price, where as they have properties listed that haven’t changed price for over a year, prejudices over professionalism, and you know who I am for sure, finally literally forced to take off market

TrustpilotCommunication could have saved our experience
The whole renting process with Keenans has been quite difficult from our viewing of our current property we fell in love and set a moving date which is where hell unfolded. The whole week before we were chasing for our contracts to sign which has the incorrect date on which we will be chasing to correct - arriving at the property on key exchange day was possibly the most stressful day of my life, we had no power, no heating and the property was dirty and still full of the previous occupiers things. Whether the letting agent or the landlords fault I would expect this to all be rectified and sorted for us to arrive or even jusy a phone call to let us know..baring in mind this had already been pushed back 3 days. We spent 2 days chasing our electric provider, we missed Christmas parties, we had the most stressful week. Eventually after asking to speak with me a manager twice on the evening the lovely Emma finally contacted us, she arranged for a gent called Anthony to come out who managed to help us get the support we needed to get the power back on. We eventually move in another 2 days later than planned. Emma completely went above and beyond to try and fix what was a horrific situation, even getting someone around to clean on such sort notice! She did everything within her power to ensure that myself and my fiancé could comfortably live at the property and we could sort out all the other bits afterwards. Minor issues still stand, which we will be picking up on the new year however having spoken to Alex when there were some issues with our oven I am hopeful we can get everything all ironed out and finally feel like this is our home. What I feel this situation could have been fixed with is some communication, it could have been avoided it needing to be escalated up to Emma if we’d have just been kept in the loop.

GoogleEmily and Melissa were lovely. I had a tough sales journey and they were kind throughout.
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.
