Complain about anything and be prepared for a s21. As others have mentioned, they look down their noses and expect you to drop everything with little notice. Even my dad’s funeral wasn’t a reason to cancel an inspection, also note I had lived there nearly 4 years. Note for ladies, some seriously creepy contractors that like to proposition you even with kids around. Best thing they did was give a s21 as I now have a permanent home in a better location and without having to deal with these slumlords.

we have lived in same property for 4 and a half years originally let through Timothy Brown then taken over years later by Stephenson browne they have to be the worst company i have ever known in all my years of owning and renting properties the first thing they do when taking over is get landlords to put rent up then they come round and look down there nose at you because you choose to rent they have repair people who when they ring you up expect you to drop everything and be prepaired to be at there beck and call and god forbid you work.

TrustpilotIssues with rentals
We live in a small cul de sac where three houses have been rented out by this shoddy company. Needless to say all three tenants are causing issues in the street and SB are completely and utterly disinterested. Yes they have been contacted by me and others. I am not writing this review for any other reason than to say that if you’re a landlord you cannot trust Alsager branch to manage your property correctly because due to their inaction there’s a real divide opening up on this street. I plan to sell next year but guess what these guys won’t get a look in based upon my experience and the other reviews on here.

TrustpilotNewcastle - u - lyme branch
cant say I'm surprised by the bad reviews of the Crewe branch I visited once and can see why people have written the bad reviews but this is about the Newcastle branch and to be honest cant speak highly enough of the team, I got exactly the asking price and plenty of viewings. If I had to say anything negative ( and I don't ) its that once a offer is accepted it is moved to another person in another branch in this case Crewe and/or Sandbach which meant depending on email if you cant through on the phone whereas if it had stayed in the Newcastle branch it would have made life easier

GoogleStephenson Browne were responsive and supportive throughout the process and I really can't fault them. The service was excellent from start to finish and they changed my perceptions of using an estate agent.

GoogleAbsolutely fantastic service! We enquired about another property initially but that one had unfortunately gone however Ellie recommended a new property straight away and sent me the details that afternoon. She’s been the most informative and friendly estate agent I have ever dealt with - we could always contact her via email or phone. I wouldn’t pick any other estate agent in congleton to either sell or buy a property through.

They gave my personal details to their legal team without asking for my consent. GDPR breach right there. There legal team got in contact with me and tried to push their conveyancing services on me. When I told them I wasn't interested, the gentleman on the phone turned hostile and hung up abruptly. I cancelled all house viewings with them after this. Get that dog back on its chain, or you'll lose all of your business.

Trustpilot1 Star Is An Understatement
I phoned up the Crewe branch and was very rudely greeted. I have had many issues with the house that I’ve been living in from this company, but have had very little response from any form of contact I’ve tried. With myself being a very vulnerable older man, I thought they may have taken my concerns more seriously. However when I ask for the help it is never there. In fact when I do ask for help I’m labelled a liar, feel bullied and abused down the phone almost like I’m speaking with school girls trying to intimidate me. From a company that is suppose to look after their tenants, this is truly disgraceful and I look to take this further. To say I’m disappointed is truly underestimating it’s worth. If I was to give anybody advice, it would be to choose another company. The Crewe branch really does give the whole company a bad name.

I spoke to the Newcastle branch about a property and they arranged a viewing for me. They promised to send a confirmation email to me but I haven't received it. At the day the viewing was arraged, I called them and they said the house has been sold. Zero communication, poor service.
