Letting with Romans Estate

Letting with Romans Estate and Lettings Agency was seamless process. Anais was very polite, obliging and quick to answer any questions we had. She was particularly helpful at mediating between the landlord and us.

We would like to thank Romans

We would like to thank Romans, more particularly Lorraine Eivers, our Romans move manager, for her continual persistence and caring response and support throughout the difficult process of purchasing our home. She was always reassuring and had an efficient way of staying informed and connected. Thank you Lorraine!

Shona at Romans Farnborough was amazing and explained each process clearly. She was very helpful with any questions or concerns that I raised and went above and beyond. Can not thank her and Lilly from head office enough as this was my first time renting with an agency.

If you are looking for a mortgage advisor I would highly recommend Brenda Richardson at Romans Farnborough. As I first time buyer Brenda clearly took me through the process of applying for a mortgage and schemes of buying a house. She gave me brilliant advice and helped me every step of the way. She was approachable and went the extra mile to meet my needs. Brenda was always available to speak to and she gave an exceptional level of service. I will be recommending her to all my family and friends and I will be going back to her for any mortgage advice in the future.

The perfect experience

The perfect experience. Quick appointment to value the house. Got a valuation 10’s of £1000’s higher than anyone else. Made the sale within 3 days of going on the market therefore Romans making us money. Communication was excellent. Any unanswered call was returned within an hour. Emails always answered but most of all, honesty. They were honest about everything. Whatever they said they would do they did and we really felt they fought our corner and represented us. We were their priority. Would definitely use again. The people we felt with were Stephanie, Sapphire and James. Great team!

If I could put zero stars I would

If I could put zero stars I would. My renting experience with Romans has been by far the worst of my life (including university rentals).When we first moved in we had no heating or hot water and no use of the oven. It took them three weeks to resolve these issues. Then just a few weeks later the boiler broke again, the contractors recommended replacing it, but instead they fixed it (which is fine), but this took another three weeks.Then there is the state of the feature wall in the living room, with wallpaper hanging off, damaged walls and stained carpets throughout. None of which have been repaired even three and a half months into our tenancy.I couldn’t recommend any aspect of Romans to anyone.

disappointed experience with Romans

I am really disappointed from the service provided , I have rented house through a Roman’s , When the house handed over to me, I found the house dirty & stains, broken Hop, a lot of bulbs not working , dish washer not working , toilet cover broken , bathtub not properly draining.All this and more on the report & no action at all from Romans , the response I received I will check with Landlord, dispute the fact Roman’s are the property management!!!

Jessica Phillips - Property Management Excellence

Jessica Phillips is a brilliant property manager, she has been managing my property for quite a while now and always shows a high degree of competence, courtesy and efficiency. I highly recommend her, Romans have done themselves a lot of good having her as part of their staff.

We rented a property through Romans…

We rented a property through Romans last year, and in the first week of moving in, we noticed silver fish in the living area, kitchen, bathrooms, almost everywhere. Sometimes they would disappear, but would suddenly appear from nowhere. We also noticed that few lights were not working, which should have been replaced before we moved in. There were some cupboards in the kitchen whose doors were not properly hinged and for some of them, the doors won't stay when we opened them. We informed about all these findings to them in the first week itself but no proper action was taken, and they were taking very long to reply, plus the contact person for us used to change every few weeks/ months. In fact, they finally sent someone to fix the cupboards, but it was not done completely and nicely, so they are back to where they were initially.We were not informed about how to read the in-home meter display (which is a smart meter apparently) and were just told that they will be submitting the first reading themselves, nor were we informed of the whereabouts of our property meter (we got to know recently that it was just outside our flat). We were in touch with Spark Energy, which was the service provider in the beginning and was recommended by Romans, however the team of Spark Energy (online chat as well as on phone) was not really good at answering our queries regarding in-home meter display, property meter etc. We got a heavy bill in the month of March, although it was hard to believe that we would have used that much power in March, and we never got to know about it, even when we logged onto our online account, until we switched over to Scottish Power, and a final bill was generated for us. All this wouldn't have happened if they had informed us how and where to read the meter, so we could have done it every month.So, to conclude, their customer management is weak, and the company just cares about making money, and not about satisfaction of their client. So if you have time, then search for properties through agents/ landlords, other than the ones through Romans, before finalizing one of theirs. We didn't have much time to do a proper survey of other flats/ houses and had to go with the one we are currently living in.

Professional and responsive

Professional, diligent, and a pleasure to deal with; I cannot recommend Nicole at Roman's Bristol office highly enough! When my apartment was recently damaged by storms, she went out of her way to help both myself and my tenant.

Rented a new home

Rented a new home, although ready to move into, there were no services available, broadband, bin collection etc. Appreciate it is a new build but given the fact I was pushed into completing as the Landlord would not wait, I feel absolutely disgusted with Romans behaviour, hopefully will never use them again. People who rent from them BE CAREFUL!

Wonderful and professional service

Wonderful, friendly and professional staff. Mark and Nathan were superb and a pleasure to deal with. They kept me informed of developments throughout the whole 'tenant find' process. I have not had previous dealing with Romans, however, this won't by any means be my last !

Abysmal website as unable to contact any branch

I am trying to speak to an agent in my local branch and I cannot speak to them, the page is greyed out. The only think I can do is click on their automated box in the corner. I was planning to ask someone to come and value my property as hubby & I are thinking of downsizing but how can I if I can't get through. It would also mean that any prospective purchaser would be put off too.

I found the Team at Romans in Farnborough - professional and helpful. They attended every viewing and I always received feedback from prospective purchasers and had regular follow up calls. I would recommend Romans in the future and would definitely use them again. Thank you to Jon and the Team.

Property valuation with Carl

We recently had a valuation with Carl from Romans and he was absolutely brilliant. He was knowledgeable regarding the area and came prepared with information specific to our property. He was able to provide lots of advice. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to go on the market with him in the future.

Warning to sellers; be aware what Romans is doing

As a seller you may not be aware of some of the practices that Romans are currently employing. I recently make a cash offer on a property; seller accepted. I was then informed by Romans that they wanted me (the buyer) to pay Romans' solicitors a £60 fee on order to check my ID....I refused and said I was not going to start paying the sellers real estate agency fees.They "went back to the seller" and said they had decided to go with a different offer...I strongly suspect that they did not contact the seller and tell them "the buyer doesn't want to pay our £60 fee"....whether they contacted the seller or what they said who knows....but no seller in their right mind is going to change offers because the buyer doesn't want to pay the sellers' own agent some new £60 fee.I don't know what the offer they changed to was, but I'm assuming it was worse or they would have accepted that one in the first place. So Romans have effectively cost the sellers. Clearly they do not have their clients interests at heart.As a buyer be aware that Romans listed properties are going to try to charge you fees for their properties.

We have almost completed the letting process with Romans Farnborough, but so far the rep we've been working with Hollie Evans has been fantastic and made our search really smooth.

Romans in Southampton - full marks.

I have just used Romans in Southampton for a Home Buyer’s Survey. I found their website easy to use to get an intitial quote, which was very reasonable, and followed it up. The staff with whom I dealt were pleasant, efficient and helpful, and a survey was arranged very quickly. I was then phoned by the surveyor very shortly after he finished the survey to give me an outline of what he’d found, and this was followed within 48 hours of a full report. The report was very detailed - far more so than I expected, and I felt confident of going ahead with my purchase. Everything is done on-line or by phone, and it’s very efficient. I would definitely recommend Romans Southampton to anyone needing a good surveyor. Full marks.
