GoogleARQ Estate agents have been helping me with my real estate transactions for some time now. I would highly recommend them, they are always on time, prepared, honest and look out for your best interests. Communication is always quick and detailed. Through every step of each negotiation they are a step ahead and make it look easy. I have used there service on multiple occasions from renting my properties to managing my properties. I cannot praise them enough and would highly recommend there service.

Facebookwe came to ARQ as 1st time buyer and still have many things to consider but ARQ helped us out , very straight forward from the property to the process of completion, nothing was hidden. It is amazing that, even after our purchase completed, they are still happy to help. Atif and his team are great help for us we would like to come back to them for other properties in the futures

GoogleI rented a property through ARQ Homes, and I had a fantastic experience. The staff was professional, responsive, and extremely helpful throughout the process.
The property matched the description perfectly, and any questions I had were addressed promptly. Maintenance requests were handled quickly, which shows their commitment to tenant satisfaction.
I highly recommend ARQ Homes to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy renting agency.

FacebookHaving managed my property for almost 5 years now, I have found the team at ARQ very helpful. When tenants report issues, they are able to source specialists and carry out work on your behalf and therefore take the stress out managing your property for you. Their communication is clear and timely, providing regular updates when required.
Customer service is very good and they are prompt at ensuring compliance at all times e.g CP15 certs, Insurance etc ... Also importantly, they make their payments on time every time.
Keep up the good work team!

FacebookI have been dealing with Iqubal over the past few weeks and when I can absolutely confirm is that he works tirelessly on his clients behalf to help facilitate the sale. As we were involved in a long chain somebody needed to take the reins and with a very lacklustre performance from all the other agents Iqubal stepped up to the plate. As a fellow estate agent I can assure you that this is not a market for inexperienced agents as the cost to the customer is huge. By appointing an estate agent that is experienced knowledgeable and most of all motivated to work tirelessly on behalf of clients you can be assured you will get a result.
I know fees are important but the true value of a good agent shines through and an agent like ARQ homes are worth every penny you pay them.
Great job , hats off , over and out !

GoogleAfter viewing the property, I was told to give £350 deposit, otherwise my details would not be forwarded to the landlord. Why not they tell in advance that they have a weird way of dealing. I could understand if I was offered the property and then asking for the deposit to hold the property could be justifiable. I cannot imagine that £350 just for showing a house. No way!NegativeValue
MOAS · 25 August 2021
Agent replied · 25 May 2023
Hi Mr MOAS. Thanks for you review, albeit it is one star, which we feel is totally unjustified.
The good thing about the way we work is that everything we do is transparent. We are an ARLA regulated agent and adhere to all letting protocols incumbent upon us.
Any fees are transparent and are available to see on our website and displayed within our office.
You say that you were never informed of a 'Reservation fee' prior to viewing.
We enclose a copy of the email (below) that was sent to you prior to viewing. It is sent to all our viewing tenants and we have never ever had a complaint from anyone about our procedures. If anything, it is pretty clear in terms of how we work. We never charge any fees to Tenants, that's against the law, so clearly if there is any misunderstanding, then I am afraid its on your part.
The law states a payment equivalent of one weeks can be applied in the event a tenant wishes to pursue a property. The amount actually came to £369.23, however my office wrote to you stating £350.00 would be acceptable.
There is no way we would charge £350.00 to show a house. Come on, that's ridiculous and totally against the principles we stand for!

Subject: RE: Offer Proposal -
Importance: High
Dear Name
Thank you your below email.
If you are referring to the property reservation fee of £350.00 then please note that it will be fully refunded if the landlord refuses your offer or fail to respond to your submitted offer within 48 hours (minimum non- working days) of the offer submitted. If your offer is accepted then this £350 will be deducted from the total movie in balance (advance rent and security deposit) payable at the signing of the contract.
If there are any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Its very clear Mr MOAS that guidance was in fact given to you twice. If you disagree with paying a 'reservation fee' to initiate negotiations with a Landlord than that's your prerogative, however, this is a core way of working for all professional letting agents.
The irony is, sadly, that in our quest to help you, my team showed you the property, followed up replies with emails with you, where they demonstrated 100% professionalism, yet you still chose to criticise our way of working!
Readers/ Tenants: Can read these two emails and its easy to see that our communication in very clear to tenants.
Landlords: If you are reading our reviews. You employ us to ensure clients follow a clear 'reservation fee' committal and referencing process, which we clearly do.
I would ask you to remove this unjustified review as we do care about our service and our good name. Feel free to call me if you wish to discuss.
However if you chose to leave it, then hopefully people will see straight through it, as every tenant adheres to this process. Tenants have in fact, over the years, left numerous 5 star reviews praising our honesty and simplicity towards helping them find their perfect homes.

Please note if clients are interested in a property after the viewing you must tell a member of our team straight away.

GoogleThe team at ARQ managed to deliver on the promise that they could exchange and complete on our dream home in 7 days. I was sceptical at first, as I didn't think it was possible but the ARQ team made it happen. Will be recommending them to family and friends.

Thanks Sufyan.
Not quite sure how we managed to see it over the line ourselves! 😂 it’s a fantastic purchased and God-willing it will serve you well in years to come.
To complete a purchase in 7 days is unheard off, so it gives us great pride to be a part of it.
Lesson: Buy from an estate agent who knows what they’re doing and use their supporting solicitors who will be equally geared to get things through.
The Seller Anton left his review earlier to verify the Sale in 7 days!
Grateful to you both for your testimonies.
Enjoy the park views.
See you Soon!

Hi Stevie. Love the review. Thank you!
I smiled when I read, 'I was very demanding' lol.
It fills me with pride to hear praise in my team's perseverance in addressing our client concerns. It comes from years of experience and having empathy for their needs.
I think its fair to say, we had to think 'out of the box', to help find a solution to your sale, in such 'climate of times' where the Covid-19 crisis is hindering, what would be an otherwise, a more straight-forward sale. And thankfully we did. Something, I think we both agree that the other agents couldn't! I'm particularly grateful to Iqubal who found the right buyer and his persistence in getting the sale through for you.
Appreciate you thoughts.
All the best for your future mate.
Stay safe! Abs.
