Trustpilot!!!!! Never give Taylors any lettings !!!!
!!!!! Never give Taylors any lettings !!!!I am a landlord. The letting was given to Taylors (the first mistake to start with). An agent visited my property and promised me number of things before I gave them a fully managed contract. I found the tenants for them not Taylors. When i called them to find out what is fully managed contract ? so Taylors explained, collecting the rent from the tenant and pass it back to landlord after deducting all their fees. Nothing else is included. I don't live near the property so want a property visit atleast may be every 3 months to make sure my property is in good condition. This was promised when the agent visited the property. I should have got everything in written (second mistake). Saying that there was not a single visit to property from Taylors to make sure the property is fine and no damage done by tenants. More scenarios: Taylors think they can deduct whatever money they think and just send an invoice. it happened twice. I called the office and asked what this new charge is ? and they don't know it so asked to contact the countrywide office. Ok, so called the countrywide office and they said we made a mistake and refunded the money. I would have lost more than Β£100 if didn't check the invoices. More than a year and i decided I don't want Taylors to manage my property anymore (as they were doing nothing apart from taking out there share). So contacted Taylors and the lady on the phone asked me to send an e-mail with a written notice to stop the service and explained its a 3 month notice period. I asked them the e-mail address and sent the notice and now waiting for the reply back. over 2 week and was surprised no reply so checked my e-mail account and ofcorse they gave me a wrong e-mail address even though i asked for a letter to letter e-mail id at the time of giving notice. I sent my notice e-mail again and since the rent date was already passed, the notice period counts from the next rent period (no way!!).Finally the time came to end the contract and i need the tenant details to hand over to the next management company and the tenant deposit details so that it can be protected under deposit scheme. Called the Taylors local office and they said contact countrywide ok so I called countrywide and they said contact Taylors. Don't know who to contact now. After some heated conversation countrywide took responsibility. sent them the government deposit scheme details and the game starts again. Every time i call them to find out the status on when do i expect the deposit in the deposit scheme ? They say we just picked up the e-mail and will forward it to the deposit scheme department and that happens everytime i call. Finally i managed to get to the right person and they said we received the details today and the deposit will transfer today.Not at all a customer friendly service. Taylors only looking to get money out of your pocket and delay things as much as possible. Never let with Taylors. On a side note: Taylors famous tag line when you are trying to reach someone, the person you are trying to reach is on the phone and will give you a call back. Believe me they will never call you back

TrustpilotAbsolute nightmare to deal with
Absolute nightmare to deal with. After a year I am withdrawing my house from sale. Took months of chasing to take actions, and then unreachable. Clearly on buyers side, telling us to take lower offers and not take higher ones beacuse of their "systems". Horrible, horrible experience.

My experience started with the pleasant Taylor who walked me through the entire experience. I felt like she genuinely had my best interest at heard and worked with me through the whole process. I also had the pleasure of dealing with Victoria who showed me around the property and inspected the place properly. I felt at ease through the whole process and appreciated the genuine people at the office.

I vacated the house early as Swindon Taylors agent confirmed to refund the rent for the remaining days, it has been 3 months now but no response from Swindon Taylors team after multiple chasers.I was tenant foe more than 3 years but this company has no respect at all. Not recommending anyone to go with Taylors at all in any scenario. Swindon Staffs are very unprofessional.

Trustpilotif you are to vacate their properties
if you are to vacate their properties, make sure you contact them at least two months in advance and NOT 30 days notice. If yo do not cancel within a certain time frame your 30 days notice to vacate the property will not be valid.

TrustpilotAwful estate agents
Awful estate agents - selling a property that wasn't even available to buy led us up the garden path after we had forked out Β£200 for mortgage valuation and then Β£600 for survey. To then be told seller hasn't even given notice to tenants worst customer service no apologies avoid at all costs!
