GoogleThese were the worst landlords I’ve ever had. They do not care about students at all. We lived in black mould for a year, and were told to just wipe the mouldy paint off the walls which was falling off from damp. My flatmate contracted eczema from the mould, which lead to infection and a cyst which had to be surgically treated (the doctors said it was from mould induced eczema). Emails asking for any repairs were ignored for months. For example broken back door which led to slugs coming into the bedrooms and all over the carpets. They couldn’t even fix a broken fridge handle they just ignored our emails about it the entire year. The following year we moved out and had Bristol student lets which i can’t recommend enough , they were amazing and fixed everything on the same day and actually cared. You’ll notice all the good reviews are from landlords who use robin king, not tenants.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with aspects of your tenancy.
Regarding mould and humidity, our managed properties are provided with hygrometers and, where appropriate, dehumidifiers to help tenants monitor and manage moisture levels. Basement properties can naturally be more prone to humidity and condensation, so we provide this equipment alongside guidance on managing these conditions.
We also note your comments regarding maintenance and communication. While issues can sometimes take time to resolve, we recognise that tenants should not feel they have to repeatedly chase for updates, and this is something we continue to review.
We appreciate your feedback and will take your comments on board as we continue to improve our service. We wish you all the best in your new accommodation.

GoogleWe recently used Robin King Agents to find our 'long term' rental - and they were great to deal with. Supported by the 'dynamic duo' team of Kay C. and Vicky B. from the Congressbury branch, we quickly found the right place for us, sorted the application process, and were able to move in quickly. Kay and Vicky were attentive to our requirements, quick to respond, welcoming and friendly. Thank you for making what is normally a very stressful life event so much smoother. I highly recommend the agency and the team!

We are concerned that this may be a fraudulent or mistaken review, as we have no record of any dealings with an individual matching this name or circumstances.
We would also note that the two members of staff referred to in the review work in entirely different departments, which would be inconsistent with the experience being described.
If this is a genuine review and you have had dealings with our agency, we would kindly ask you to contact our Branch Manager directly so that we can understand your concerns, identify the matter in question and investigate it properly.
We take all genuine feedback seriously, but equally feel it is important to challenge reviews where we are unable to verify that any interaction with our business has taken place.

GoogleI can’t recommend Robin King Estate Agents enough regarding my rental property.
Vicky has gone above and beyond to make this experience as smooth and organised as it could be. Even when there were any hurdles to overcome, it’s been dealt with promptly and with great knowledge and expertise.
Kay has also been amazing in communicating with me and helping to get any questions answered and promptly dealt with. She was also great at supporting me with the rental process during set up and since I’ve moved out.
Renting my property for the first time came with a lot of emotions and the unknown but my mind has been put at ease knowing that the team have worked hard to find great tenants and will support me in whatever is needed throughout the process.
I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is considering using Vicky and the team at Robin King.
Thank you!

GoogleWe have recently viewed and had an offer accepted on a property through Robin King. We worked with Emily who has been brilliant in all areas. Emily showed us around the property, answered all questions we had and anything she was unsure of she said she would find out and get back to us - which she did! I have communicated with Emily through both email and via phone, communication has been easy, and she has always responded timely in a professional manner. I can absolutely recommend Emily (especially) and Robin King to any individuals looking for a new home- we have found our dream place through them and enjoyed the process considerably!

GoogleWe recently put our property on the market with Robin King after research into local estate agents and several valuations. We have had experience of Robin King before when we relocated from London we purchased from our buyers of whom were using Robin King and it was a positive experience.
We met with James last week and as soon as we gave the go ahead Chloe wrote and produced the brochure within a very short period of time. The photographer came on a Sunday as we work from home during the week and did an excellent job of the photography. I am a coach and trainer and write my own blogs and workshops and my husband has a photography and film degree. So we worked with Chloe on the editing of her most excellent script and with Sean on his fabulous shots. They even incorporated my partner’s photo of the patio which was appreciated.
Since then we have had viewings booked. These have enabled me to continue my coaching and NHS dr training online. They have also been understanding of the needs of our cats!
I particularly like the app that they use and the ease of communication to smooth the whole process of viewing and the marketing has been superb. Thank you!🙏

Tom and Chloe were especially brilliant - always quick to respond, even out of hours, to make sure we could work to a tight turnaround.

GoogleWe purchased a property through Robin King and they were amazing..... here's why.
Every time we had cause to call them, whoever answered the phone, was polite, helpful and well informed.
There were a number of difficulties with the sale due to the size of the chain (absolutely nothing to do with Robin King) and throughout they remained helpful and committed to a timely completion.
Special mention goes to Tom Meakin who did an fantastic job of negotiating a fair deal, with consideration to all parties and keeping us informed, throughout a long drawn out, and at times miserable experience caused by inefficient / lazy / incompetent solicitors!
I can not recommend Robin King highly enough, the epitome a of professional estate agent - Thank you (and you in particular Tom!)

GoogleDO NOT USE this Awful company for student lets. Throughout the entire year many issues were reported such as a broken door in one of the ground floor accessible bedrooms (security issue), leaking gutter, major mould problem (which gave my flatmate eczema; robin kings solution was to send us a YouTube video on how to prevent mould incl by using a tumble dryer which the house didn’t have ….), broken fridge handle etc and these issues required multiple follow ups before anything was done leading to very long delays. My friend had a desk in her room that was too big for the room; robin king said they would provide a new desk yet never did despite months of reminders…. Only benefit is they didn’t take our deposit. In contrast our landlord the following year (Bristol student lets) repaired any issues immediately and were a lot more pleasant to deal with. As you will notice most of the 5 * reviews are from the people who are letting their run down houses out at predatory rates to students who have no choice so they can profit whilst providing zero maintenance because students don’t know better. Not good as we paid a lot of money (they then have raised rent for new tenants) for the disprivilege of using this company

GoogleDO NOT RENT WITH ROBIN KING IF YOU ARE A STUDENT.
Our experience with this agency has been shocking. The student property we rented, owned by either the company or Robin King himself, was handled extremely poorly from start to finish. Essential repairs that were promised before our tenancy began remained incomplete for months, leaving parts of the house uninhabitable. I was personally denied access after giving 7 days’ notice that i will be in the property.
At one point, a broken shower went unfixed for nearly two months, forcing five tenants to share one shower, despite the higher rent we paid for a two-shower property which they were aware of. The contractors used by the agency were also unprofessional, for eg, one tore down our bathroom ceiling when the actual issue was with the shower tray, creating a serious safety hazard.
No compensation was offered for these clear breaches of our tenancy agreement, much of which raised health and safety concerns, so we will pursue this matter further.
Communication throughout was inconsistent, delays were constant, and we had to chase every update. Moreover, the agency somehow had the audacity to take a substantial portion of our deposit, which we mostly won back through TDS adjudication.
If you rent through them, keep everything in writing, as they may attempt to misrepresent what was said. It’s clear that student tenants are treated with far less care and professionalism than their other clients.
Do not be misled by excuses that the agency bears no responsibility with our experience - decision-making is ultimately delegated to the agency or from the owner of the agency for their student properties.
AVOID this agency. Students deserve far better treatment and accountability.
Alicia · 6 December 2025
Agent replied · 15 January 2026
We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience. As with all properties we manage, we keep comprehensive records of all communication and works carried out. We therefore wish to clarify several points, as several comments in your review do not accurately reflect the circumstances of your tenancy.
The tenancy began on 1st July, keys were collected, and you confirmed that the property would remain unoccupied throughout the summer while you were abroad. Prior to this, on 24th June you advised that you expected to move in on 9th or 16th September.
With your agreement, the landlord arranged a programme of improvement works, beyond the obligations of the tenancy agreement, including renovation to five bedrooms and the kitchen.
Difficulties arose when we were informed that you intended to return earlier than the planned dates, by which time the works had begun. Nevertheless, at no point was access denied to you or any tenant. As stated in our email of 16th August: “They have been working towards the 24th August as per your email dated 10th July; you are more than welcome to come on the 22nd August and I have asked them to get your room ready first”
There was a short period where access was temporarily limited when contractors, unaware of your early return, were actively working with tools and materials on site which posed as a health and safety risk. They limited access to make the area safe, which is entirely standard practice. Photos you provided show the property mid-renovation, not after completion. As each tenant arrived on their agreed date, their rooms were cleaned, inspected, and furnished in advance with photos being taken and recorded.
When your tenancy was agreed, the planned works were to repaint one wall affected by a historic leak. Further investigation revealed an additional leak left unreported by previous tenants, necessitating roof repairs and scaffolding, which were completed promptly.
A full council HMO inspection took place, confirming that the property was compliant and certainly not uninhabitable. Throughout the process, we maintained regular communication with all parties, including on-site meetings. Any delays were communicated in advance. Tenants and guarantors also confirmed that they wished works to continue rather than pause.
Regarding the shower: the unit had been installed only two years earlier. When it cracked a few months into the tenancy, a contractor was immediately instructed. Unfortunately, although the contractor was known to the landlord, the standard of their work proved disappointing. As soon as this became clear, we arranged for a new contractor to rectify the issue as quickly as possible. We acknowledge the delays caused by the first contractor; however, these delays were not due to a lack of effort on our part.
The reference to a hole in the ceiling, the ceiling had a wallpapered finish which had begun to peel. To avoid multiple disruptions, the landlord instructed contractors to remove the original lath ceiling and replace it with new plasterboard. While this looked untidy during the process, the ceiling was never unsafe.
All proposed deposit deductions were made strictly in accordance with TDS guidelines. You exercised your right to dispute these, and the matter was independently reviewed through the official adjudication process.
While we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, we remain committed to providing professional, transparent, and fair management for all tenants, including our student residents. Many of our student tenants choose to stay with us for multiple years or move into other properties we manage, and we believe this reflects the standard of service and accommodation we aim to provide.
Kind Regards
James King

GoogleWe viewed a property in Langford which needed total refurbishment.We were lucky in that Tom MEAKIN was assigned to our two viewings. Whilst he understandably had the interests of his clients best placed he was extremely helpful and accommodating with our questions and requests. In the end we regrettably had to concede that the work necessary was going to be too involved and costly. I felt bad making the ‘bailing out’ phone call but Tom took it in his stride and did his best to ensure that I didn’t feel awkward. An absolute credit to his company. Thanks again for all your patience and effort Tom!
