We sold and brought through Hern and Crabtree and cannot recommend them enough. We initially spoke to Rhodri. He went through the whole sales process, wasn’t pushy and knew his stuff. Due to his personable nature we chose to go through him. Mike then came round and took amazing pictures. Gavin was highly involved in finding a property, and again was really really helpful. And to top it off, Jan in sale progression accepted nearly daily calls to calm me down and explain and help beyond what we would have expected. We genuinely can’t recommend them enough. Amazing company, amazing people and all round stars. If you want to go through the whole process with minimal stress whilst not surrounded by pushy stereotypes choose Hern and Crabtree. They definitely practice what they preach.

TrustpilotVery Professional Letting Agents
I have worked with Hern + Crabtree for a number of years, first in selling a house in 2007, and then letting out our next property for the last 8 years. In recent years, Lance Robertson has been my main contact. I have the highest regard for Lance and his Team. They are not only professional, responsive, courteous and diligent, but equally important for tenants, they are very objective and balanced in their advice and actions. I have no hesitation in recommending Hern + Crabtree's Letting services.

TrustpilotA bit Lazy
I had considered going down the DIY way to sell a house, I wish i had done. H and C did hardly any work as properties in certain areas of cardiff sell as soon as they are marketed. Communication was not brilliant and when i asked questions such as why are things taking so long , the answer was "thats how long they take".I would not use them again as I felt they were a bit lazy .They asked for feedback, not by saying how did you find your experience but," Could you take 60 seconds and share your happy experiences " Mine were not so happy but you did ask.
Paul · 2 September 2020
Agent replied · 5 July 2023
Hi Paul, we are sorry to hear that your experience hadn't lived up to expectations. We did reach out via TrustPilot asking for you to get in touch with some more information as to which property it might have been related to so that we'd be able investigate further but we have not heard back from you. Selling a home can be a very stressful time as we do our best to accommodate all parties with open communication. We have all just experienced a very testing time with COVID-19, where all elements of the house move are taking much longer. Unfortunately we are governed by many external factors such as solicitors, banks, searches, surveyors and buyers too, which for many different reasons can contribute to longer timescales than normal. If you would like to let us know a bit more on your experience so that we might be able to address any issues you may have had then please let us know by contacting the area manager on: rhodri@hern-crabtree.co.uk - Best wishes, Mike

FacebookHern and Crabtree have been wonderful to work with while I have been trying to move from Bristol to Wales, especially during these times.
A big thanks to Lance Robertson, he has been in constant communication and provided me with all of the information and details that I needed to find, secure and start the process for taking a wonderful property.
Really recommend this estate agency, everything is nice and smooth, very quick, and considering i'm very busy at this time, I haven't had to stress about anything and its been completely hassle free.
Thanks again Lance.

GoogleUnfortunately a pretty poor overall experience trying to sell our property. staff seemed uninterested and put out by any request, also felt as though there wasn't any urgency to sell the property.
We decided to switch to another estate agent and sold within 2 weeks and the difference in service/urgency was vast.

Agent replied · 16 January 2026
Hi James,
We’re genuinely sorry to read your feedback and to hear that you felt let down by the service you received. That’s never the experience we want our clients to have.
Looking back at your sale, it was unfortunately one of those very unlucky situations. We secured a buyer fairly quickly when your home first came to market, but their circumstances changed late on, and the sale collapsed through no fault of your own. We then agreed a second sale within the week, but that buyer withdrew soon afterwards citing the location, which again was outside of our control.
We fully appreciate how frustrating and disappointing that must have been for you, especially as it felt like two failed sales in a short space of time. We do take on board your comments about communication and urgency, and we’ll be discussing this internally to make sure we learn from your experience.
We’re pleased to hear that you’ve now sold successfully, and we wish you all the very best in your next chapter.

From start to finish the service from Hern & Crabtree has been fantastic.We both sold our home and purchased new through them.The pictures and virtual tour were just what we wanted and gave a great window into our home for all potential buyers to view. Gareth from the Llandaff branch carried out the viewings, and helped us with the offers to best suit.Annamarie from the Heath branch was a great help guiding us through the offering, purchase process on new home…. both keeping us well informed and calm during the stressful offers/best and final stage. The months in between accepted offers to completion, Gina from the Pontcanna branch was on hand to negotiate any issues and really excelled in keeping everything on track. (Thanks Gina for taking all my calls:)Overall couldn’t have asked for more…. And to top it off were also the most competitively priced.Thanks Rich + Grace

There are not enough words to describe this incredible estate agency. The service, care, compassion, understanding, efficiency, and an incredible willingness to want to help. I had various problems arise along the way of my sale which were nothing to do with Hern and Crabtree yet they still embraced and got involved to work on these issues on my behalf. But it isn't just their work ethic, these people clearly love what they do and are prepared to think outside the box and go that extra mile to assist their clients. A special mention has to go to Daisy, Natalya, Anna and Mitchell but the entire team are just exceptional. So, from the bottom of my heart may I thank each and every one of you for not just doing your job brilliantly but also for the fun, easy going nature and sheer friendliness of you all, oh and not forgetting Nigel of course! 😁Thanks again to a great team.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This agency has been an absolute nightmare from beginning to end. I’ve just completed the purchase of a house through them, and the condition I received the property in was nothing short of disgusting and dangerous, and the estate agent’s response has been completely unacceptable.
FaranakGh · 5 June 2025
Agent replied · 27 August 2025
Dear Faranak Gh and Mike Tandy,
We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we take your feedback very seriously, especially when a client feels so disappointed.
We’d like to provide some context around the events following the completion of your purchase through our agency.
After the successful completion and key collection, you informed us that the back door key had not been left by the seller and that the door had been left unsecured. As you were due to go away the following day, we fully appreciated the urgency of the situation. Jo made multiple attempts to reach the seller, leaving several voicemails, but unfortunately received no response. As a result, you arranged for a locksmith, and we offered, as a gesture of goodwill, to cover the cost of replacing the back door lock (approximately £75). We understand that you also chose to replace the front door lock for added peace of mind.
Later that evening, you contacted us with concerns about the condition in which the property had been left. Owen responded the following morning, before 10am, to acknowledge your concerns and to express our shared disappointment. However, as we explained at the time, the condition of the property upon handover is legally the seller’s responsibility. Estate agents are not party to the contract of sale and therefore have no authority to enforce standards regarding how a property is left. Any issues of this nature must be addressed through the legal representatives involved.
We absolutely understand how stressful moving can be, particularly when things don’t go smoothly. We're truly sorry that your first impression of your new home was a negative one. That said, we must clarify that none of the issues you encountered were within our control or caused by our agency. We believe we acted promptly, professionally, and in good faith to support you wherever we were able.
You are correct in quoting Densie, she did say she would rather not be having this conversation. That comment came from a place of genuine frustration, as she had already explained on several occasions that the matter lay completely outside our remit as agents. Despite our willingness to help, there was, unfortunately, nothing further we could do.
To set expectations more clearly: no estate agency in the UK is legally responsible for checking, cleaning, securing, or preparing a property prior to the new owner moving in. While we would love to provide such a service, it is not something any buyer can reasonably expect under current industry standards. As we’ve stated in response to a review left on another platform, these responsibilities lie solely with the previous owner, and regrettably, we have no authority to enforce them.
We always strive to support both buyers and sellers fairly, and while some matters are outside our control, we do our best to go above and beyond, as we endeavoured to do in your case.
We sincerely wish you all the best in your new home and hope it brings you much happiness in the future.
Yours sincerely,
The team @ Llandaff H&C
