Darlows have been really bad at updating us on the status of our application for the rental of a flat. It has been nearly two weeks since we filled the offer document and we have not heard anything; they are impossible to get a hold of and despite leaving many message with their concierge service, they have not called me back. Would not recommend using them.NegativeResponsiveness

I have always been impressed by Darlows' attention to detail and professionalism. They made the whole experience a delight and their evident experience meant I could fully put my trust in them. My sales negotiator, Kristie, left nothing to chance and did a very comprehensive walk through with me before the viewings, which went very well and helped me achieve the result I was hoping for.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

When we decided to put our house on the market I had meetings with a few different estate agents and also contacted some online agents, I chose Darlows as the gave me the most positive feel about marketing our house as when I put it on the market I wanted to ensure it was done properly the 1st time as didn’t want to change agents or have it on the market for a long period.With the online agents I didn’t feel very confident upon meeting as they didn’t seem to want to give such a careful approach to getting the photos completed and marketing the property as I wished (obviously you get what you pay for). When I meet with Jodie from Darlows she gave me a great deal of confidence in marketing our property and it was an easy choice to choose Darlows. We were happy with the process from start to finish, lots of care was taken with photographs, we decided on an open house as this fitted around family life well this also worked out better than expected with us achieving more than anticipated.We would definitely choose Darlows again and I would recommend them 100 per cent.

Just purchased our first house from Darlows Albany road. I found them helpful and professional from start to finish, everything ran smoothly and they kept in regular contact with our solicitor. We even received a call from the branch manager on the day of completion to congratulate us even though she was working at a different branch and a new home card from the staff at the Albany road. I would be more than happy to use them for our next purchase, a big thankyou to Jodie and Amber.

superb service

We have found Darlows to be efficient and extremely helpful right from the initial visit. We have had good lettings advice and they have kept up communication between us and the tenant. We found Sam McAllister to be so polite and friendly when we had a query the other day, he promptly phoned and asked how everything was going. The company staff seem to communicate with each other very well and messages always get where they’re supposed to go.

Darlows have been project management for my property for 5 years now and I really don't have to lift a finger! They contact me whenever needed and will organise anything. I have a hectic and busy life with not much spare time at all, so it's great not having to worry about my property and to know that its in good hands.More recently I have been communicating with Louise Pugh and she has been very helpful and responsive. Thank you. Clare

The worst estate agents in Britain. No communication, no feedback, used their in house solicitors to do the conveyancing which took nearly 6 months in a transaction with cash buyers and no chain. But the worst bit of all was the avoidance of phonecalls by the manager Tim who failed to tell me that the purchasers had withdrawn 10 days previous to me being informed, and I was only informed then because I rang them and demanded an update. Avoid at all costs

Very grateful to Mike Green from Darlows Albany Road, who was exceptional from start to finish whilst my partner and I were working to secure a rental property in Cardiff. He is approachable, a clear communicator, and a great professional who fought our corner for us. Extremely pleased with the experience he helped to provide.

I would like to express my gratitude for the brilliant service I received from Darlows Albany Road, Cardiff. In particular, the branch manager Jodie Thomas who was my main contact for the purchase of my new house, went above and beyond to ensure that I was continuously updated and dealt with any issues which arose during the purchase process efficiently. I would highly recommend Darlows as an estate agent of choice when deciding to sell or buy. Mr Asif Ali Buyer

Fraudsters

DO NOT RENT WITH THIS COMPANY - They are a fraud company that had caused ALOT of stress. They gave us the property in a bad condition, then after we left made claims over over £1,000 claiming that we had left a lot of damage. Save your money - honestly. They have no interest in agreeing anything or discussing things with the tenant. They also gave us a dishwasher that was almost broken down, it was so disgusting it was falling a part from the inside. They did not properly de-weed the property before they gave to us then tried to charge us for it knowing we could not return it without any weeds. It's been the absolute worst experience in my life.

Fantastic!

Fantastic!Michael and Trystram gave us an awsome service and a great experience in letting properties. Although we were dissapointed at one time when a landlord let us down, the letting team (Mike and tryst) kept us in the loop with other properties and found us a lovely home for my family and I in less than a week later. Easy to talk too, communication and friendly service was amazing. Thanks again guys, wish you all the best.

I did originally have a complaint regarding there about an in house independent mortgage guy. This has been dealt with and it was down to miscommunication. However the customer service person I spoke to was rude when dealing with me. I was helping my a daughter at the time. The customer service women said 'maybe your daughter should stand on her own two feet'. I recommend you go elsewhere for your property needs if you want a professional service.
