'Its a landlord's / Agencies world.. we just live in it'

'Its a landlord's / Agencies world... and we all just live in it'.. I recently rented a house in Frodsham and on return of the property, despite a gold star check out report, the lack of communication regarding my deposit refund was horrific.. multiple calls, emails, 'I can't reach the Landlord', 'let me check and get back to you' it became farcical. I was then hit with an 80% claim by the landlord against my deposit for made up broken items and repairs. The check out team in Macclesfield did not care, emails not responded to, nonsense chatter blaming the Frodsham branch who apparently were in conversations with the landlord regarding re listing the property, however the check out team in Macclesfield could not reach him. The emphasis clearly was to talk to the landlord about more money for him, more money for GH and just leave me and hopefully I will go away. I asked to speak to the branch manager at Macclesfield who did call me, she also didn't know what was going on so said she would follow up and help. Needless to say this was the one and only time I heard from her, not even a courtesy call or anything... I obviously rejected the claim by the landlord and fast forward 4 months since we left the property, the DPS have awarded our deposit in almost its entirety, so the greed of the landlord did not win in this case, quite rightly... and if GH would have consulted with him and me better from the start we maybe could have avoided such a mentally straining 4 months for me. I understand they are acting on the landlords wishes, however, the sheer disregard for the tenant was freighting. I now own a property so renting is not something I plan on doing in the near future, however should the need arise, I will never use GH again for their services, nor will I engage with them in any future business. Note - this mainly refers to the Macclesfield Branch.

Totally manipulating the applicants

Totally manipulating the applicants. Before viewing mentioned about two tenants and the staff arranged the viewing. Now they are telling me they can’t allow two tenants.

Sasha and her team at Gascoigne Halman Prestbury were extremely helpful during our home purchase. Sasha kept us informed and chased up relevant parties in order to make the process run as smooth as possible. Thank you Sasha!

Selling a house during lockdown and a cold winters

The sale of my house took place during very difficult circumstances as the U.K. AND ISLE Of MAN were in lock down during different periods during the sale process .I couldn’t visit the property. The property had been rented with Gascoigne Halman for 12 Year before I sold it . The asking price was set at a good level the brochure was produced in a couple of daysand the sale proceeded well .The first buyers who bought the house within days they couldn’t get the mortgage they needed so the house went back on the market and sold again within a relatively short period of time in 5 months Oct to March the whole process was completed.I was kept up to date with emails and phone calls every time there was a viewingI had dealings with mainly one sales person James but when he was off others kept me informed Sue the sales secretary was also good at answering queries connected with the sales process. As I was at a distance I used a solicitor recommended by GH and was pleased with there services I also used an insurance company that was local.During the cold spell when prospective buyers visited James made sue the house was warm enough to prevent issues with burst pipes I was also alerted to problems with the loft door and garage door and was then able to use GH property maintenance to solve several issues.I think James gave the sale a personal touchFor me the all round service GH provided was very helpful in difficult working circumstances .I am very pleased with the outcome and would recommend them

Frances Mason used our family and encouraged gazumping offers IMO

Frances Mason used our family to pump up other offers for the seller. She confirmed after a long and arduous process we'd had our offer accepted. She then encouraged the vendor and buyers carry on viewings in our opinion to gazump us. She knowing didn't send out a memorandum of sale to us for 5 days whilst getting other parties to outbid us. After we paid for searches etc Frances informed us someone had come in with another bid.......from there played us off as an auction for bidding. Then told us we didn't get the house. The next day it was put as STC for the other buyer. Something she refused to do for us in 5 days. She openly admitted on the phone she knew of another bid hence when she didn't do the memorandum of sale.She let us pay for searches while using us a pawn. It was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with any kind of company. There was no remorse and I don't know how she sleeps at night for a little but extra of commission.Openly trying to get improved offers and more viewing whilst sending us acceptance confirmation and letting us pay fees is a very very underhanded trick.

DISAPOINTMENT

What went wrong? Well I was advised by this agency that the property had come off the market once my holding deposit was paid. Upon submitting my credentials for referencing which was with let alliance, I was advised by "Charlotte" a representative at Gascoigne Halman that the landlord has gone with another offer and would rather refund my holding deposit then proceed with my application. Honestly Disappointed with the service provided by this agency. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GOING WITH THIS AGENCY

I was the buyer of a property that Gascoigne Halman were the agent on, however the service was still excellent from the Prestbury office team, especially Aimee Austin who kept in touch with us on progress of every step of the process, helping move things along with the seller's solicitors to ensure the sale completed in good time. Thanks for your help! Anthony & Leanne Wild

Depends on what you want

Very good when dealing with renting out a property. Great, fast communications, friendly service. However, managing the property is below par. I have to chase up things and still waiting for a contractor re heating in the freezing temperatures.

Highly recommend, especially Dominic

We were delighted with Gascoigne Halman’s service, when buying a property through them. They always went over and above. In fact I think our purchase might have fallen through but they kept it all on the rails. We will sell our house with them if we ever move. Dominic is fantastic. He always knew everything about the chain, and did loads to keep it all moving forward.

very poor customer service

Very disappointed with customer service. Found the staff to be really unhelpful. As a cash buyer had been keen to purchase a property for my daughter and disappointed to learn the property we had secured was taken off the market. Tried to found out why and if there were any other similar properties available through the branch and got absoutley no help from them. Sent a polite message to the manager with honest feedback and requested that he give me a quick call to discuss - 2 weeks later and havent heard back from him. Will now never use Gasgoigne Halman again and recomend other agents who have a little more time and respect for their customers

Very Poor Customer Service!

the lettings division are very poor, they are very quick at taking your money, but when something goes wrong they take an eterinty to return or respond to emails or telephone calls. Once you have vacated you cant get your secured dposit back, again the communication process and customer service is no existant.

Highly recommended

We recently sold and bought our new home through Gascoigne Halman in Macclesfield. From valuation to completion the service & support has been excellent. Gascoigne Halman not only found us fantastic buyers but found our dream home and we couldn’t be happier! The whole team provided a great service with a particular shout out and thank you to the Manager, Matt for his communication and support throughout to drive our sale and purchase forward.

We sold our property with Gascoigne Halman Prestbury recently and the team were brilliant. They were very responsive to our enquiries, great at communicating with us and really helped to progress our sale and the purchase of another property. They were spot on with the valuation of our property and we sold our house very quickly which we were very grateful for. Would definitely recommend!
