Hunters Filey reviews

Lack of understanding of regulations and invasion of GDPR

Despite confirming over the phone that my offer was accepted, Hunters refused to provide written confirmation or a memo of sale because I chose not to share my ID and other sensitive information prematurely. They claimed this was required for anti-money laundering purposes, but such checks are only necessary further along in the process, not before providing written confirmation of an accepted offer. This was despite me already providing a Decision in Principle and written confirmation from my financial advisor. Their insistence on irrelevant information at this stage is a major red flag. To make matters worse, their response was extremely unprofessional, with no attempt to resolve the situation. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend their services.

Do not rent from them

Do not rent from them. They refuse urgent health and safety repairs.

So happy with the service from Hunters…

So happy with the service from Hunters so far! Stephen has taken such good care of us and nothing has been too much trouble! From the beautiful photographs to showcase our home to the check in calls & emails to keep us in the loop! Selling a home can be incredibly stressful and it’s so lovely to have an estate agent that you know is working very hard in the background to get results! I would highly recommend Hunters! As they were also recommended to me.

Greedy company.

Greedy company-Hunters. They will hunt your money in any ways even if the landlord didn’t tell them to do so. I had a very bad experience from them. Listed below are the samples of how greedy they are with money: 1. I have to pay for the decorations stuff (paper wall) which was caused by normal wear and tear as we used the property for 2-3 years. Good thing, our landlord told them not to deduct us. 2. I have to pay almost £400 after leaving the house. This is because the house has been vacant for 2weeks and the new tenant didnt come straight away after I left. Or maybe they need to sort out the wall paper/ house cleaning first and it would take time to complete everything. Unfortunately, Hunters was asking us to pay the 2 weeks even though we didnt use the property and handed over the keys to them on our last day. Good thing, our landlord is kind, he asked hunters that there is no need for it. 4. I paid mattress collection even if that wasnt from us. We left the property with our mattress and someone just threw it in the property. Apparently, I had to pay for it, so I just paid it because they giving me headache and stress. They might take legal action if £30 was not paid 🤷 5. Because I didnt finish the contract, I paid £480 to Hunters for them to re-advertise the property. My previous rent is £675, however, they rent it out for now for £900. Wow, what a growing business. 6. When I am still renting, it took them a month to sort out the shower heating. They blamed the landlord as said they already informed him and that they dont manage the property. But now that Im leaving, of course theyll gonna need to manage it, theyll see money from it, they will take your hard earned money in every possible legal way so please to anyone reading this double check your contract. Dont make the same mistake as I did. When you want to rent house, check first if it is advertised by Hunters, if you want to suffer with emotional/ financial stress in your life go ahead with them.

Inflated prices and lies

If you’re a buyer or a seller I’d avoid. They put properties on Right Move that are inflated in price, and then they say the vendor wants more money than the guide price. Sorry but if the vendor wants for example 350k for the house, do not put the price as 330k on Right Move, then start a non-existent bidding war. This has happened 3 times with this company, which makes me think it’s their terrible tactic.

Hunters Kendal

Hunters. Kendal.Have no problem recommending this branch. Unfortunately lockdown got in the way. Launch was on Wednesdsy and lockdown Friday which restricted viewing. Kept me well informed as to who was viewing. When I did get a sale dealt with the buyer in no uncertain terms as he was trying to find lots of faults to drive down the price. He didn't succeed! Suzanne Jackson valued my property and was informative and good to deal with as were the rest of the staff in the office dealing with Kendal.

North Somerset’s Best.

I’d just like to thank all the staff at Hunters in North Somerset, Yatton, Portishead and Nailsea offices. They have sold 2 Of our private houses for us in the past 3 Years, and one of our rental properties before that. All Were sold in a matter of days. Of the 2 recent sales the 1st one went through smoothly in 2 months. The second was not quite so good through no fault of Hunters I might add.2nd property sold the 1st day on the market but turned out the lady was telling porkies about her funding so she disappeared after 2 weeks🤬Another Confirmed buyer Within the same week and except for the obvious Covid delays, mainly being unable to sort removals, this time everything went as planned.Many thanks to Richard, Mandy and James for their excellent Professional service and I would strongly recommend Hunters to anyone thinking of selling in the North Somerset area. They know the market in this area so well and really go the extra mile for their clients.

Highly Recommend - Hunters Lee

I bought my first property and sold it with the support from Hunters Lee. I am really pleased with my choice. Vikram, Sarah and Serhan are amazing - they are very supportive, understanding, calm and super well-organised. They went above and beyond to support me whenever I need. They made the process really smooth and stress free for me with their years of experience, long term vision and excellent communication skills. I highly recommend this team and will definitely work with them again in the future if I have a chance to. Thank you so much all!

So unprofessional

So unprofessional. Middlesbrough- Teesside Lettings branch cancelled my viewings on the same day just an hour before the appointment with a lame reason of not confirming it via an email when the appointments are usually confirmed by phones. Also no necessary information about the property was given a week ago while I booked the appointments but today after them sending me appointment cancellation emails. I had cancelled my plans for today as I had 2 appointments with them. Staff has no manners to talk to a client, the way of sending emails is so casual and informal. They offered me appointment for the next day when I specifically requested for an appointment for today itself a week ago. I just told them I don’t want to go ahead with such unprofessional company. Management needs some training so do the staff in dealing with the clients.

Dishonest, incompetent and terrible attitude

Should you choose this letting agents here are a few things you can expect as routine:1) Lying about the status of properties on the market and deliberately misleading all parties on the status of such properties.2) Arranging appointments to view properties that they don't even turn up to meet you at.3) Cocky, arrogant and sarcastic customer service. They really do not care AT ALL!Literally the worst letting agent you could ever choose to instruct. As you can see from the other reviews, dishonesty, incompetence and terrible staff attitudes are a feature. There is a reason for that. Be warned.

Don’t sell with hunters

If you are selling your property please avoid hunters, they charge an extortionate fee for buyers to provide ID when purchasing a property and use a 3rd party company to complete these checks, sadly that company are really poor and their app doesn’t work meaning the whole process of confirming who you are is near impossible despite having to do so to sell your own property.

Hunters Belmont Circle

Called Hunters Belmont Circle to arrange a valuation of my home. They asked me the reason for wanting to sell and when I told them it was because we're divorcing the representative immediately turned frosty and said they charge for valuations if your selling due to divorce. Imagine you're presented with a very devastating and traumatic life event, and then the pariahs come a hunting to see if they too can make a profit out of someone else's misery. Shameful.

Why all the complications?

Tried to book a viewing online of a property in South Shields. I received multiple text messages and emails asking me to complete a further questionnaire before they could proceed. This questionnaire then appears to have prompted another questionnaire (with multiple further texts and emails), which looked like it was going to try and book me in for a property valuation of my current home. I decided instead to call and try and book a viewing. The gentleman who answered seemed thoroughly disinterested and told me viewings could only be booked for weekdays, and only during the hours of 9am to 5pm. I explained that I work during those hours (as most people do, I would suspect) and he said, 'Ok then, bye' and terminated the call. Not sure exactly how anyone is supposed to view a property with Hunters.

We used Hunters of Filey to sell our property 2 months ago. The service we received exceeded our expectations of the role of an Estate Agent. Nicole, Rachel, Sam and Gina ensured our sale, and the chain we were in, ran smoothly, troubleshooting and communicating well at all stages. During the final days of exchange and completion Nicole went above and beyond to ensure the ultimate goal was met. The time frame of this chain was also admirable, being completed in 8-9 weeks. Well done Hunters! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell in the future.

Extremely bad experience with Unprofessional and Rude people... Preston Road Wembley branch

Preston Road Wembley Branch I regret to say that my experience with your service has been extremely disappointing. The level of unprofessionalism displayed throughout the process was astounding. From misleading information to outright lies, it became clear that your team was not transparent or trustworthy from the start. Unfortunately, after the deal was finalized, your true nature became even more evident. The promises made prior to the transaction were not upheld, and your team showed a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. I would strongly caution anyone against working with your company. Thank you for making this an experience I will never forget, but for all the wrong reasons.
