TrustpilotThis company should be shut down
This company should be shut down! Shocking!! They under valued my home by £35,000 after 3 other companies valued it at the correct price causing a long chain to collapse! There are hundreds of other similar reviews.Why is nothing being done about this company! All google reviews and trust pilot are 1 star! They should be disgusted by themselves!! What are they gaining by doing this!
5/5
GoogleIt was positive throughout. Taylor was very helpful from start to finish. She kept me informed of everything throughout and made the whole process very easy and stress free. She was willing to help wherever she could and would always find the answers to any questions that I had. I would highly recommend anyone to go to connells when trying to find a home. All the staff are very friendly and easily approachable.

GoogleBoth Jack & Nikki went above and beyond to make sure I got the rented property I wanted, couldn’t fault the service at all from the both of them! Thanks Nikki for helping out even though you’re on annual leave. Thanks Jack for pushing to get the property I wanted. Amazing service from Connells of Oakley Vale!

TrustpilotTHE WORST ESTATE AGENTS IN SWINDON
The very worst Estate agents by far! I reported a maintenance issue and was told to watch a YouTube video to resolve it. The tenancy ended in May 24 and they wanted to claim from my deposit. I raised a dispute and they charged their minds. I am still waiting for my deposit 6weeks after the tenancy ended. They have no sense of urgency (not to tenants in my opinion) and will frustrate the hell out of you. Very poor customer service and they don't care about you. Don't be fooled by the brand name. Avoid doing business with them if you want peace of mind.

TrustpilotCrikey, what a shambles.
Crikey, what a mess. Had a rental with Connells Management, also bought a property which was under Connells Management. It is quite clear that there is not many of the personnel there that know what they're doing. They use old documentation with incorrect practice process, prices, and details on. They don't communicate with other team members, if team members go on holiday, your case is on hold. Multiple conversations where the person in question doesn't actually know the process or anything about the process. Informed a problem is solved, only for it to continue, forcing you to keep calling and dealing with them.I have never known a business so incompetent in every area where you have to deal with them.With any luck, I shall never have the pleasure again.

TrustpilotAVOID AT ALL COSTS
I am currently renting a property in Derby city centre managed by Connells/Burchell Edwards, and my experience has been extremely disappointing and, more recently, unacceptable.

TrustpilotConnells not returning deposit money
As a tenant I moved out of my property on 31st May .. my landlord approved the cleanliness and tidiness of the property on 4th June, so this was all ok, and I was told my deposit money had been requested from Connells. By 13th June I still hadn't received anything so I chased Connells who told me they'd "been waiting for an email from myself" to authorise fund transfer. This was the first I'd heard about this. So I sent the email, was told the funds would be processed, but it could take 10 working days...On 25th June I still had no deposit money and no update, so I called Connells requesting information. After being hung up on, after continually persisting, I finally got through to someone who told me my deposit request HADN'T EVEN BEEN PROCESSED ... words fail me at this point. They have now told me I should have my deposit money back this week but at this point I wouldn't be surprised if I need to chase it yet again. At what point does it become criminal negligence to withold this substantial sum of money from its rightful owner?

Paid a marketing fee of £238 which if I used their solicitors gilson gray I would get this amount back. First I was promised 28 working days from the house sale being completed 2 months went by then told 28 working days from when they send in the invoice. The account team sent an email to say this is being fast tracked and I would get it by 7pm still nothing back and getting excuses after excuses

TrustpilotGreat speedy service from Hope at Connells
Speedy response to all communication. Hope was our estate agent, she was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. She made us feel really relaxed looking round the property, and continued to provide a speedy and informative service throughout the process of renting our new property, a pleasure to deal with.

TrustpilotAbsolute Scam artists
Absolute Scam artists. Ridiculous deductions from deposit (£250 for an oven that needed cleaning and a shower screen that was dirty). Neighbours said cleaners never attended, refused to provide an invoice for cleaning. Useless communication. Agent I dealt with made return of deposit as diffcult as possible (taken 2.5 months) and pulled stunts like ignoring my email for a week, emailing a reply at 5:20 on a Friday and when I responded immediately, got an "out of office for a week" auto-response. Scum.

TrustpilotDo not use or work for this company.
Honestly, the worst company you could work for or use as a client. I have not experienced everything quite like it. I had witnessed, heard and been made to tell so many lies to paying customers. Money is all they care about, not ones health. Not a good company.

We completed on our house on Friday and We used connells as our Agent, their customer service is awful. No viewing feedback, I had to ring them each time to ask, most times just being told we can’t get hold of them. On one viewing I happened to be in the house and the agent let it slip that the week before the woman who was supposed to view our house didn’t actually view it and there was confusion and it wasn’t our house she wanted to view, instead of telling us this, they made up feedback and said one of the bedrooms was too small! They had a key for us in their office so they could let themselves in to do viewing yet one time we got called back to let them in as they didn’t know they had a key! After we had agreed an offer that was the last we pretty much heard from them. I would chase and chase on emails for updates just to get a snotty email back from Adam who’s the sales branch manager. Absolutely no communication pretty much from start to finish!

GoogleThank you to Connells in Corby for being so lovely to deal with. Taylor in Lets has been great from our first viewing to finalising all of the paperwork to getting our keys. She is super efficient and professional and has made the whole process a lot less stressful for us. Both Taylor and Nicky have been really friendly which makes all the difference. Thanks again, The Middleton family.

I wish I had read these reviews before using Connells. Absolutely terrible. We used the mortgage advisor service for first time buyers. We could never get hold of anyone, and it would take at least a week to get a response (we were in a contract race). We decided to pull out of the race and look at other options, booked and appointment to get some help. We drove half an hour to be told: 1) I am not allowed to help you if you are someone else’s client and 2) I cancelled your appointment yesterday by which he meant he had deleted it from his own diary but not contacted me at all to tell me this is the case. Walked away very angry drove all the way back home and told them we will not be using them moving forward. Now using an independent mortgage advisor who is fantastic, and free of charge!

I have recently moved into a rental property, moving house can be very stressful and Connells made the transition into our new property almost stress free. James kept in touch with us to keep us updated on a weekly basis so we knew what to expect and was prompt with any questions or queries we had.I will definitely be recommending Connells in the future.

A big thank you to Kelly for offering a very personal and extremely easy experience in renting my property. It had been so effortless which is exactly what I required and tenants were found within a week.Thank you for going over and beyond Kelly nothing was ever too much effort for you, a true credit to the company and gold star service.

TrustpilotConnells warndon.
Connells warndon.Terrible. Just brought our first house and the seller used these lot. We had to chase all the time, not kept in the loop at all. I was led to believe I was in a bidding war with interested party, turns out they lied. I paid an extra 2 grand for nothing. On completion they gv my mrs a welcome pack with random stuff which several were out of date. Steer clear, bunch of muppets is putting it very lightly

GoogleAbigail was an amazing advisor. Perfect for us as first time buyers, explained the whole process start to finish and got our mortgage offer within a week despite the current market. We’d recommend Abigail to anyone and can’t thank her enough.

TrustpilotZero star not available
Zero star not available. As a landlord they always blamed other people, never took accountability. Complaints process only active on socials but details on their “investigation” never posted and hidden
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
