Terrible experience, avoid

Terrible experience. Be warned and avoid. This was my first experience selling a property and Sharman Quinney, and Adam Tanswell in particular, were a nightmare to deal with. It started out with a few small warning signs as Adam came to our home and he seemed a bit pushy, but we went ahead with advertising our property with them, if only we’d gone with our instincts and not assumed all agents are like this.After an initial 2 weeks with 4 viewings (none of which came to anything), things cooled off very quickly. We went several weeks with few viewings or communication and had to push them for updates. After 6 weeks we were getting really disheartened and asked if we could give 30 days’ notice and give someone else a go (Adam made it clear when we met, we could give 30 days’ notice to end the contract). Their response was to send excerpts from the contract highlighting that 30 days could only be given after week 25!! And if we advertised with anyone else their fees would go up considerably and they would try to block any sale independent of them or seek their inflated fees on top.It was a really intimidating and stressful time, they should have tried to address our concerns and offered advice and reassurance rather than point to the contract points in their favour.We got advice to take it to an ombudsman who would be very concerned by such a long length of contract and poor terms, but despite this we waited out the 25 weeks to be free. We received more no shows than viewings (few of either) and towards the end of the contract they tried to pressure is into selling to a property developed for well under the asking price.To make matters worse, once the contract ended, they sent us a bill for £150 for their advertising and requested we pay it within 3 days. Ironically, we couldn’t get any reply from Adam or Mike Sharman when we wanted advice towards the and of the contract, and they were slow to respond to requests to remove our ads after the contract ended, but quick to send us this bill and request immediate payment (twice in two days). There are plenty of much better agents out there, and we’ve had a much better experience now we’re with someone else. Avoid Sharman Quinney and Adam Tanswell.

Harassment

Haven't even got my house for sale with them and keep cold calling me hounding me to use them to sell it. If I want to sell my house with you I will call you and for future reference I won't be using you

We are very pleased with the service from Sharman Quinney. They did everything possible to keep our sale progressing and went above and beyond to get it over the line, while keeping us updated throughout. I would highly recommend George and his team.

Worse experience I have ever had

Worse experience I have ever had. Get everything in writing from them and even if you do, they will never fix any issues and lie to you and ignore emails for weeks!

almost 3 months now that I moved.this is a very late fedback, All i experienced was very overwhelming help, from putting the property to the market , to the scheduling of viewing up to the exchange . The most 2 people that had helped me loads ,started with George McDermott,a very huge thank you, - whatever the weather he was there outside the property for the viewing clients.i did not personally say my thank you when you left, I also have loads appreciation to Charlotte Hancock- She helped me enormously and always there to answer me and explained all things when I can not understand especially all the legal terms. Many thank you to both of you ,

Avoid if at all possible.

Lived in multiple different rented places over ~10 years (i move around a lot with work) and SQ are by far the worst letting agent i have ever used.Staff are uncommunicative, slow and incompetent. The online reporting system for faults is excellent - but never used by the staff. Not a single fault we ever reported was ever fixed - apart from the massive water leak we had which we fixed ourselves and then billed them for. There is no emergency out of hours contact number so tenants are left to fend for themselves in such situations.In the year we rented with SQ - they never ONCE answered the phone, and only occasionally responded to emails.On several occasions, we tried to visit the letting agent branch directly to complain- only to find the door locked (despite being during normal opening hours) and no one around. We even had to wait outside and have someone unlock the door to hand our keys back.It is by no means evident what, exactly, these people do for their money. You'd be much better off taking your chances with another agent, or renting directly from the landlord. Heed my warning - avoid SQ if at all possible.

Persistent unwanted contact and gazumping

Over the last few months, I’ve been contacted around five times and repeatedly encouraged to make an offer on a property I viewed some time ago in Thrapston.

I’ve had a fantastic experience working with Shaman Quinney as my letting agent. As I live quite far from the property, it was really important for me to have someone reliable managing everything and they truly delivered.

We vowed never to go with Sharman quinney again after previous experiences and reviews but new manager Luke, sales George and team have been a pleasure to work with. Quick replies and constant updates gave us peace of mind. Thanks for making this easy for us. Definitely recommend and would use again.

Had to give one star when wanted to…

Had to give one star when wanted to give a zero.Sharman Quinney is a company to avoid at any cost.This estate agents sign you up for a 6 months contract when other agencies sign you upfor 3months.There is a 14 day cooling off periodwhich is law.For those 2 weeks there were numerous viewings and an offer which was accepted then after the 14 days the offer fell through as the buyers could apparently not get a mortgage.After that you are in a 6 month contract then the viewings were few and far between.when you chased them to ask them why it hasn’t sold when other houses in your street were sold with other agencies the lies then started and when the 6 months contract was almost at an end and you told them you would not be renewing it, the property had miraculously sold for considerable less than asking price.months after there was no completion date in sight and endless excuses l removed it off the market.
