Thank you!

Fenn Wright were extremely efficient. They sold our house quickly and were always on hand to help mediating with the solicitors and other estate agents. A special thanks to Kirsty who did a fantastic job working with both ends of the chain to make sure the move went through on the date we asked for.

Disappointed

Very disappointed with recent contact with branch in Essex. Enquired about a property and was told it was sold so my questions were not answered. In the next 2 weeks the property came back on the market and yet no one thought I was hot enough a sales lead to be contacted again. Very poor organisation and sales technics especially as I was very interested in the property concerned. Wouldn’t engage with them for a property again due to lack of attention to detail.

Excellent service from beginning to end. Chris was professional and very factual, and had good advice about the area. Shannon went above and beyond constantly throughout the tricky process of a large chain, keeping everyone informed and facilitating everyone involved. Highly recommended and I wouldn’t use anyone else.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service from the first valuation appointment right up until completion! Very friendly staff and great customer service. A special thank you to Kelsey Stein for keeping me updated throughout the whole process and chasing my solicitors. I would highly recommend Fenn Wright.

Avoid at all costs

Don’t think I’ve ever bothered to write a negative review about anything before but this is well needed. I rented a property through this company for two years and it was the worst experience ever. They never dealt with a single issue I raised promptly, they made my end of tenancy exit hell, their constant lack of communication resulted in me ending up out of pocket despite me requesting information for end of tenancy information two months prior to which I had no response. They were extremely efficient at communication when they were collecting funds and other issues that benefited them but conveniently ignored my plea for action due to having to throw away half of my furniture due to mould damage from internal walls (this was not the first mould related issue I had raised about this property). The two young lads I spoke to on the odd occasion are the only reason I wouldn’t plea for this review to have 0 stars. I have requested contact information for HO in order to raise a formal complaint. Horrific company and will never be using them again.

Fantastic experience with Fenn Wright…

I cannot recommend Fenn Wright’s highly enough. From the perspective of a buyer, they’ve been nothing short of brilliant. They’ve managed my expectations clearly throughout the whole process, from offer to completion. And, what would normally be viewed as a fairly stressful experience, the conveyancing process has been smooth sailing throughout. In particular, Kirsty King, who has been in weekly contact with status updates and actions, as well as managing all parties involved. She’s really gone above and beyond to help the process through to completion, and her knowledge, experience and willingness to help is a credit to Fenn Wright’s. I would have absolutely no hesitation buying again through Fenn Wright, or indeed listing through them.

Appalling lack of communication from the lettings team. We were unable to move into a property due to my Ill Health of which we made them aware. We are still being asked to sign inventory documents which have no relevance to us, the left and the right hand clearly don’t communicate

Thank you Fenn Wright

To begin with we were disappointed that we had so few interested parties and felt that maybe more could have been done to promote the property.

Great experience with Mel Rowlands in lettings, she always delivers a personal touch with care and attention that’s quite rare. She remembered what’s going on with the property and any enquiries ongoing, she’s on top of things her end and a genuine pleasure to deal with on tenant issues

Ipswich team the worst

Ipswich team the worst After viewing a property / signing contract , ready to move in I’ve been phoned to be told the flat is gone and the reason is due to agents misunderstanding ( other agent rent the flat to someone else already ) . After the phone call ends I receive an email from them saying the tenancy application offer has been cancelled subject to contract and references …On top of that I’ve already contacted them several times to refund the holding deposit with no answer .. just stay away from this unprofessional “agents “ . Waste of time and headache

Me and my partner have been through fenn Wright for 2 rental properties now and each time it was Melissa that helped us beyond relief. The customer service she offers is impeccable and she has gone out of her way to help us get our second flat. I would highly recommend using fenn Wright if you're wanting a rental property. Thank you again Melissa :)

Finding my first property was so easy with John Barker of Fenn Wrights. He took the time to find out exactly what I wanted, and came up with the perfect place. Within 24 hours the deal was done. Couldn't be more pleased with the service and professionalism. Can't recommend highly enough. Thanks Jon

Very efficient

I only dealt with Kirsty, but she was on the ball. Very efficient and friendly.I was not a direct client but she couldn’t have been more helpful. If selling I would use Fen Wright. Completion was a bit complicated but she kept me informed every step of the way.

Property mis-description, such poor service and attitude

I have recently purchased a property through this outfit, something I will never repeat again following this experience!

Great experience.

What an amazing service we got Kirsty went up and beyond to help with us purchasing our property and helped with issues with our sale even though it wasn’t through Fenn Wright. Will definitely be calling for Kirsty when we decide to move again.
