GoogleAn amazing experience purchasing a house through Godwin Curtis.
They made our first experience of buying a house really pleasant. Great communication, friendly and understanding. We would definitely consider using Godwin Curtis again in the future. You're in safe hands with this local business.

GoogleWe recently finished a short term tenancy managed by this company. Before we moved in we were assured that the property would be thoroughly cleaned first but in fact it was absolutely filthy.
After a few weeks we found that not all the utilities had been transferred to our name and we were told by this company to do their work for them by making the arrangements ourselves, which we refused to do.
All the heating and hot water failed during a spell of cold weather, also there was a sound of leaking water. We were totally dissatisfied by the speed with which this company reacted to this problem which was caused, according to the plumber who eventually turned up, by the fact that the central heating had never been serviced.
The only time that anyone came to inspect the property on the landlord's behalf was the day before the tenancy was due to expire. They expressed surprise that we were packed up and ready to leave, apparently because we had mentioned several months earlier that we might request a short extention of our tenancy. They then argued that, as we had not said that we did not require an extension we owed a month's rent in lieu of notice. Needless to say we refused to pay.
I have not generally enjoyed my dealings with estate agents over the years, but I found my dealings with Godwin Curtis the least enjoyable of the lot. Not recommended for either landlords or tenants!

GoogleGood experience as a tenant of a flat managed by Godwin Curtis for several years. Previous experience with various different estate agents led me to dislike ever having to deal with them but Godwin Curtis have changed my perception.

GoogleDO NOT bother wasting your time with these people. I couldn't give a scathing enough condemnation of our experience as tenants. Despite multiple wrongdoings on their part that hugely affected our living experience, members of staff still have the gaul to make unfounded accusations to us as tenants, and then when finding this was their own wrongdoing, failed to apologise and continued with the same malicious and arrogant attitude.

GoogleWe're coming to the end of a year long tenancy with Godwin Curtis and this review is the least we could do to thank them for being excellent throughout. They have been one of the best estate agents we have dealt with in Canterbury - particularly regarding any problems with the house which (on a number of occasions) were sorted out by professional tradesmen within 24 hours.

GoogleI had the misfortune of dealing with Godwin Curtis, and I must say it was an extremely disappointing experience from start to finish. I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy agency.

GoogleI had a bad experience with them, Actually, they are cheating students who are studying at the University Of Kent. Please double-check the contract before signing. They remove the cancellation policy from the contract.
Please forward information to all students who are studying at any University.

GoogleExcellent estate agent, especially for students! Good value and they don't rip you off with endless fees (like other agents in Canterbury do!). Glad to have lived in a clean and up to date house with modern decor/furnishings and also with the knowledge that any issues would be responded to and dealt with very swiftly. Thank you!

GoogleRented a student property through them, and I have to say they're the best in Canterbury from previous experience! Any issues were sorted straight away and it was easy to contact them throughout the tenancy. Definitely one of the better student landlords in town.

GoogleNothing but good things to say about them. All issues solved within the day, completely willing to go above and beyond - gave us a new set of dining room chairs when not necessary, and when heating broke installed a completely new system ASAP. Highly recommended.
