They are hard to contact them

Its hard to contact them, they do not pick up the calls . When they pick up the phone, there’s a such bad customer service. Do not work with them.

Great team in Watford Office

Recently bought our first home through Connells Watford branch, and cannot praise them enough. There were issues with their partner legal services, but Brandon from the Watford office was on hand and helped to ensure the process was as smooth as possible.At every step of the way, he was available and provided information guiding us through the process, explaining in detail exactly what we could expect and how we could manage it.Towards the end of the process, the legal side required lots of witnessed signatures, which Brandon was happy to do for us on numerous occasions, and continued to explain what everything meant and how it would work.This would have been a very different (and unpleasant) experience if it wasn't for him, so Thank you Brandon for getting us through it!

Overall poor, bad communication and driven by viewings not sale

My property was listed in September, I had offers but was not entirely happy with the risk of one, though went with the advise of their branch manager. The communication and info was pretty poor, which ultimately led to the buyer pulling out in Feb, right when my offer on buying a house was agreed. Up to this point their performance was somewhat excusable, but Connells then seemingly chucked any random through my house without due diligence checks as to whether the viewer was in a position, or even able, to buy, which was extremely inconvenient. The feedback also showed clearly they weren't 'selling' the house, or answering questions, but this may be more a point on the viewers than the caliber of agents (who are generally pretty good though on occasion were a touch rude). This also meant I lost out on another house purchase.The past week, whilst on a training course working from home, I requested viewings to be cancelled, but Connells proceeded anyway, interrupting to a potentially detrimental result on my course. Once is bad enough but then two days later they arrived on another viewing, earlier than it even had been booked, that had also been cancelled, with my partner having just stepped out of the shower to see some random guy in my garden looking through the windows. One of these issues is excusable but not all continuously.I'd strongly advise using any other agent

James Edmondson from Connell attended my home to provide a mortgage valuation survey. James explained to process in detail and was very friendly and really put me at ease. He made sure i understood everything and answered any questions i had.Nothing seemed too much trouble and he made sure the process ran very smoothly.thankyou for a great experience.

Connells have been very helpful and have gone the extra mile in helping with a very complex sale of our property. Thanks to Sheridan Hollands and Nikki Boyles for their hard work and patience in helping move things along.

Awful to deal with

We were asked to quote them for some windows in the NG2 area of Nottingham, we agreed a price, I informed them that we needed a contract signing and a deposit paying, I was asked to send the paperwork to a totally different email address, it was a maintenance companies email, we then received a call from a finance company asking if they could buy the windows directly from our suppliers, this immediately rang alarm bells, so I informed them that we would no longer carry on with the work, we then received a 1-star review on here, awful to deal with, phone calls to my mobile at 9pm, constantly messaging on whattsapp, I genuinely believe that we have had a lucky escape.

Had a survey conducted from James Edmundson. I mean, what can I say... he was quick, efficient and friendly. It was immaculately clear that he knows his trade and knows full well what hes doing. Knows the area impeccably and promised a quick turnaround on delivery. Connells... youve got a keeper.

Taylor is fantastic to deal with - always amazing. I have had no problems with her at all and is always available to to answer any questions I have, if she doesn't know she finds out and gets straight back to me. Great asset to the team and a pleasure to deal with. Cannot however say the same for the renewals department.

Connells - sound, experienced, and full of vitality.

Would like to say that Connells helped me with the purchase of a leasehold property in 2019, and also for the sale of the same property in 2022. Always friendly, found the right buyer (taking their own considerations into account), and were highly responsive, informed and moved at the right times. Have no complaints, only praise. Would like to thank Emma Eldridge for her work in 2021 as she identified a sound purchaser for good reasons, and helped to make it happen for them on their timeframe, which is the most important thing of all.

Very poor experience with Connells

Very poor experience with Connells. I was quoted a clear fee to find new tenants which was supposed to include references, Right to Rent checks and the tenancy agreement. Instead, I received a statement with lots of extra and duplicated charges.

Dysfunctional

Have been using this company for a fully managed service on our rental property. To provide a balanced review - here's the positives:They will invoice you for their costs on time. The in team branch do their best to help but are at the mercy of a dysfunctional corporate business model....now to the negatives:The remote "support centre" team are anything but supportive. There is a lack of accountability, communication and follow up. Simple tasks such as informing energy suppliers of tenancy changes take months to get resolved. Communication flows from the tenant to landlord are poor. Chasing outstanding issues such as overdue rent or maintenance tasks feels like a tick box exercise which results in further delay / lack of action. Good luck if you have a deposit dispute as they will give you zero support. Most frustrating of all is the fact that I have escalated these issues on multiple occasions to give the company a chance to resolve and yet I find myself in the same place.My simple advice is please do your research and consider very carefully before using this outfit for a tenancy service.

some peoples thoughts about estate agents are mixed, the team here at connells are fantastic. They have been very helpful and attentive through out the procedure so far. The house viewing with Kieran was done at his expense as I couldn't do within certain parameters of his work, this alone not a lot of people would do, this shows commitment and professionalism to the job and it was very much apricated. The house valuation with Elliot again was done and couldn't be faulted, being prompt and committed to make sure he had all the information and made us aware of all the details required. he also showed various other houses similar to our own and went through in detail about the valuation he had given to make sure he covered all bases. Abi the mortgage advisor was great, she understood what we was doing with the house and worked around us as well, she was very quick and polite collating al the information she required to get the outcome required. When she said she would be in touch or get the relevant information to me, it happened at the time she said it would, this also is vary rare to find but was delivered brilliantly.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Selling 2 properties in Nash Close following an aborted sale. Amy was quick to put it back into the market with viewings arranged very soon. Tom and Amy work together and we accepted an offer for 1 one of the houses. The other one was done after valuation and offer was accepted within 24 hours. They were always courteous, exceptional service so far and both of them communicate very well and work seamlessly as a team. Well done and it was pleasant interacting with you both so far.

Abigail is an absolutely amazing agent. I cannot fault the outstanding service I received from Abi who helped me through from start to finish getting my mortgage sorted. She went above and beyond to make sure I got the best mortgage offer, couldn’t fault the service at all from her. She has been extremely prompt in responding to me, provides regular updates and is proactive in moving the process forward in a professional manner. I’ve dealt with other mortgage advisors in the past but to me she is simply the best. Would highly recommend her service!

Nikki and Rhys were absolutely fantastic in all areas. Even though I didn't end up going for the flat they showed me I can't fault their attention to detail, helpfulness and just simply put how they put me at ease during all areas of the process especially as a first time renter. Really impressed and very thankful to have come into contact with them. Great service by them and the team at Connells should be very proud. Quick additional and extra thank you to Nikki for also taking time to talk through everything with me at my own pace and making me feel like did I understand everything and still have the ability to ask all my questions without being pushy about a sale. I can't tell you how valuable and important that experience was.

Connells is a terrible agency that you should not work with

Connells is a terrible agency that only cares about you until the contract is signed. After being exemplary tenants for over 2 years, we have received zero support or flexibility. Despite the standard practice in the UK, they refused any 'rolling contract' options, forcing us into rigid fixed terms.

Needlessly Aggressive & Disgusting Breach of Data Protection Regulations

Recently sold a home with Connells - Fairford Leys. We'd used Connells before and wanted a specific agent in their town centre branch who we knew personally and had used before, but after enquiring were diverted to a marginally closer branch. That seemed a bit 'nit-picky', but whatever. Fast forward almost a year and we finally made it to completion, after a very drawn out and stressful process with lots of hiccups. In the sales-driven world of estate agents, we sensed that the long saga of our move frustrated them, but we weren't going to settle for a house with subsidence! We were encouraged to use their "Connells Home Conveyancing" service, which we took them up on because it meant a small refund of some fees later on and our buyer was already using the local solicitor we'd wanted. Big mistake! We also utilised their mortgage broker, who was very accommodating and competent, but for some strange reason saw fit disclose our private information to members of the public!? The outcome of which was that my wife ended up having to employ a solicitor to fight off her employer, who had found out we were moving as a result of this data breach and was pressuring her to quit (which would have ironically put the mortgage application in jeopardy). We still haven't decided where we're going to take it after the other thing that recently happened with Connells.The reason choosing Connells Home Conveyancing was a big mistake was because at completion they did two things wrong: 1. They overpaid stamp duty on our purchase to the tune of £2500 & 2. They also made accounting errors on the completion statement that resulted in Connells Estate Agent not being paid their sale fee in full. The stamp duty was paid at the old rate rather than the newly-announced one. But whilst this announcement came early on completion day, we didn't complete until the end of the day and so were eligible. This was widely available information in the public domain and I tried to call and email Connells Home Conveyancing to ensure we paid the correct sum, but they couldn't be bothered to look at it. Instead, they left me to chase HMRC for a refund via post (yes, that's their process) which could take weeks! I went in to Connells Estate Agent on completion day and they, incorrectly, advised me that we weren't eligible too. But the worst of it was that, because of their accounting error, the estate agent didn't get paid their full fee at completion. This resulted in the branch manager giving us just 24hrs to pay the balance or face debt collection! How quickly the mask fell off once all that was left was to settle the bill. Through no fault of our own and due to the incompetence of Connells Group, we are now out of pocket over £3500, plus the cost of the solicitor. We also find it funny how when they want money they're owed (because their own people messed up) it's 24hrs or bailiffs, but we are also due a refund of the photography fee for using Connells Home Conveyancing, we have to write to head office then wait 28 days for them to make a simple bank transfer. Of course, we paid in order to avoid the hassle and are now left flabbergasted at the rudeness, incompetence, privacy breaches and threats from Connells. A totally unnecessary sequence of events and a completely over-the-top response, no doubt driven by some meaningless sales deadline. We wouldn't recommend Connells or their partner services to anyone after this and looking at the other reviews on here it seems we're not alone. Avoid!

absolutely awful service from connells. raised repairs to the property (private renting) back in June and they keep fogging my partner off! when contacted they are unprofessional and don't offer much help. multiple times someone has said they'd sort out the repairs but nothing has been done. I imagine if he had children in the house they'd take it a bit more seriously but it's an absolute joke.

2 minutes agoNEWI have had an appalling experience with Connells as a buyer. I made an offer on a property in March which was accepted. I believe Jack lied to me throughout the entire process. I got my mortgage offer immediately as Jack insisted on having it place before proceeding. The offer expired end of August so I asked Connels (Jack) what would happen in the event of reaching this deadline. He told me that the seller would move in with her son and effectively break the chain. This simply wasn't true. As the deadline approached I requested thiat the vendor break the chain. The reposnse from them was that wasn't going to happen as her son lived with his wife and 3 kids. After trying to find out about the status of the sellers putchace, coincidentally 2 days later the seller pulled out because their sale fell through. This again is according to Jack and I simply don't believe it. I should speak with the vendor directly and see what the position is. Thanks Connels, your lying and pushyness for my mortgage deal is simply going to cost me £1000s I will never buy a property through you again. And maybe have the guts to give me the news yourself next time you coward
