Fantastic experience with Fenn Wright…

I cannot recommend Fenn Wright’s highly enough. From the perspective of a buyer, they’ve been nothing short of brilliant. They’ve managed my expectations clearly throughout the whole process, from offer to completion. And, what would normally be viewed as a fairly stressful experience, the conveyancing process has been smooth sailing throughout. In particular, Kirsty King, who has been in weekly contact with status updates and actions, as well as managing all parties involved. She’s really gone above and beyond to help the process through to completion, and her knowledge, experience and willingness to help is a credit to Fenn Wright’s. I would have absolutely no hesitation buying again through Fenn Wright, or indeed listing through them.

Thank you Fenn Wright

To begin with we were disappointed that we had so few interested parties and felt that maybe more could have been done to promote the property.

Ipswich team the worst

Ipswich team the worst After viewing a property / signing contract , ready to move in I’ve been phoned to be told the flat is gone and the reason is due to agents misunderstanding ( other agent rent the flat to someone else already ) . After the phone call ends I receive an email from them saying the tenancy application offer has been cancelled subject to contract and references …On top of that I’ve already contacted them several times to refund the holding deposit with no answer .. just stay away from this unprofessional “agents “ . Waste of time and headache

I've had lots of experiences with letting agents over the years, this is really one of the only positive ones - responsive, respectful, and happy to help. What more could you ask for?

Fenn Wright Manningtree have dealt with the sale of our property which i'm sure for them has not been one of the most straight forward sales and has dragged on for several months. At every point the whole team at the Manningtree office have provided an A* service. We are pleased we appointed Fenn Wright and will definitely use them again in the future.

Property mis-description, such poor service and attitude

I have recently purchased a property through this outfit, something I will never repeat again following this experience!

Simply Fantastic.

From the start, Paul valued our home and gave realistic expectations, Sarah then arranged viewings, which were quickly successful.

Fenn Wright Colchester - HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE

Absolutely horrific experience with Fenn Wright Colchester!! We moved into a property a month ago, after pointing out some issues before the tenancy agreement was signed and promised it would be sorted before we moved in, we got the keys and were very excited to move into our home, well the professional cleaning was not so professional, the place was disgusting! Literally old food running down the side of the cooker, hob was dirty, filthy cupboards, floors and bathrooms. Then we had the pleasure of sewerage floating around our garden. A month into our agreement, we still have clothing and stuff that the landlord has apparently left in the house, we have no access to the garage where the boiler is kept, so hot water is not guaranteed! The emergency contact for the after hours contractors don’t get answered, and when the one of two did call back 3 hours later, after many attempts snd messages, we were told he couldn’t do the job, but even if he could not having hot water is not deemed as urgent! I have sent countless emails to get stuff sorted and I don’t even get a response! unless I become demanding! We have metal frames and cement blocks lying in the driveway, a huge safety issue!! The garden has rubbish lying everywhere and also a storage facility for whatever the owner didn’t feel like taking with when they moved. Furthermore two garage doors blocking our living room door! Some windows don’t have handles to open. Eventually we get some contractors coming to quote on what needs to be done, but the landlord won’t accept the quotes and insists his brother needs to come and look at the issues! Well the so called brother is on holiday for a week and we have to wait for his return! In the meantime we are living with other peoples clothing and suitcases and whatever else is being stored in our bedroom! The garden sheds are full of old broken tools, sports equipment and equipment, and our stuff is lying getting damaged on the lawn outside, as we have no space to pack it, all this whilst Fenn Wright couldn’t be bothered to assist or sort anything out! There should definitely be an option for minus stars, as what should have been an exciting time, has turned into a nightmare! Absolute disgusting service from all at Fenn Wright! A full inventory with many of the issues listed had been sent before us moving in, however it probably has not even been read nor acknowledged by Fenn Wright , I have never experienced such un professionalism! But I guess they get their money, so they don’t really care!

Phil, Kris and Kirsty

Phil, Kris and Kirsty all were extremely helpful throughout the purchase of the property. As a first time buyer things can be extremely daunting but the process was simplified and I was aided where needed. The response was extremely fast and I can’t really fault the service I received.

Professional service from day 1 to the completion of the house sale.Our sale was a particularly complicated and difficult sale and would most likely never of happened without the outstanding support of Kirsty King.We would totally recommend Fenn Wright and would have no hesitation in using again.

Purchasing a property can be and is very stressful, Kelsey helped the purchase of our sons property a lot easier and was always available on the phone and emails. Kelsey also spent time to engage with the solicitors and mortgage company to get the purchase over the line. She is a fantastic asset to fenn wright. Many thanks again for your help. Very professional service. Darren northover

Terrible customer service

Wanted to view a property they have listed. The girl on the phone very unprofessional and telephone manner shocking.Wanted to view the property to make sure it's suitable for my family needs. I'm integrated on the phone. I'm not going to do a 140 mile round trip to waste my time. Won't be using this company. Wish I had seen the reviews prior to calling them. Would have saved my time.

Zero stars for us

Zero stars for us. We have had bad experience with the Ipswich and Woodbridge branches. Agents like to play games, keep you on your toes, play with your emotions so you can pay as much as possible (we are a one income family with young children). Yet, they accept offers for developers who pay way below the asking price, make up the house and sell it a year later for over 100K in profit. Shame on you all.

Fenn Wright (Tony) gave excellent advice and supported us through the process finding a buyer quickly who paid more than we'd expected. Recommend unreservedly.

I wouldn’t recommend Fenn Wright for…lettings

I wouldn’t recommend Fenn Wright for sales letting. I previously had 20 years plus of dealing with them with no issues, but in the past 6 months I feel the service offered has gone down hill considerably!I had 3 properties with them but had major issues with them and their contractors on a new tenancy where I was told their cleaners had been in but on visiting the property, I found they hadn’t, I informed the agent who arranged for the cleaners to go back but the quality of cleaning was still very poor. I found out myself as there was no inspection from Fenn Wright to assure this had been done. I was even told that the cleaners had been in to clean, when in actual fact they had not.As I was disappointed with their service, I moved the portfolio to a more reliable agent. Fenn Wright were to hand over the keys to our new agent but Fenn Wright had lost keys to two of our properties. They were instructed to appoint a contractor to rectify the issue but failed to instruct him properly, resulting in yet another failed attempt at resolving issues, which they had caused.In my opinion the service I received was unprofessional, lack of communication between staff and I felt staff were undertrained or lacked experience in dealing with managing my portfolio and that some staff would benefit from supervision.I will not be using Fenn Wright in the future!

Fenn Wright Sudbury

After being told that all parties were in line and ready to go we were looking forward to moving to our dream property, as we believed the chain to be in place.Four and a half months later and subsequently finding that, far from being ready to go; solicitors had not been appointed and mortgages had not been approved; the dream had slowly turned into a nightmare.No sale, no purchase, no chain, no move and no faith in Fenn Wright.The tired cliche of “promising a lot, but delivering little” seems fitting for this agency.We, therefore, consider that we were misled from the beginning.If you are considering using Fenn Wright; my advice would be: think very carefully.There are plenty of other agencies in the area.

Fenn Wright, Estate Agents

The help I received was friendly and I always felt that I could ask questions when I was unsure of what was happening, without being a nuisance. The two members of staff that I dealt with were Scott Cracknell at the Chelmsford office, who found a buyer. And Hannah Potter, sales progressor, in Colchester. I cannot speak highly enough of them both.
