Fab Team

Adam & Joshua in particular have been amazing through this very tumultuous journey over the last 13 months. Can’t forget Ollie in the earlier days and Izzy for a while too - all of whom helped us navigate a very difficult sale. We really appreciate all the hard work and effort they put in to selling our property and I’m sure are just as glad as we are to have finally exchanged contracts! As much as I enjoyed working with them, I’m equally glad that this will soon be over!!

Poor service - Lower Earley

Dealt with Adam Colvin, the manager of the Earley office. Really poor service in arranging a viewing. First, keys not available (told this 1 hour before viewing even though booked 3 days prior). Second, Adam called to re-confirm another viewing 2 hrs before appt, then on our way to the property, he called to say property not available. Very poor comms and service.

Very Satisfied First time Buyers

My husband and I have just bought our first home together 🏡. We completed in just about 3 months!We have dealt with most of the estate agents in and around High Wycombe during our search in the last two years, but none of them compared to the treatment we received from Romans Estate Agents (High Wycombe)Lovely Stephanie arranged our viewing and was there beside us patiently through the entire process. Thank you Stephanie. James! Thank you for always being there and chasing things up for us.Everyone we interacted with from Romans during this process were very helpful. Would definitely recommend 💯

Please stay away from them

Please stay away from them! I am a tenant. At first, I was OK with the fact that they offer no real service. No information about the house's utilities. Only an exhausting, time-consuming induction process. When the tenancy started I kept receiving messages that I needed to pay the rent on time to avoid consequences. The payment was taking place automatically via a Bank standing order, created by an associate of theirs. Months of harassment and they never admitted their wrongdoing!Today they sent someone to enter my property, to check for a leak.They didn't have my consent!!!2 days' notice, and they come into your home uninvited!!!If you like being bullied and having people paying visits when you are not present, rent a home from Romans.

5* Service

I would like to mention how easy the process has been. I have never rented a property before and Nathan has been so helpful. He showed us around the property, he was very professional and knowledgeable! He has been great with helping us through the next steps also. I would definitely recommend using Romans Tilehurst. Thank you Nathan! :)

Poor customer service

Abi (@ camberely) should not be dealing with customers Customer service from her end is not good at all ! Contacts me with only 2 days to go for tenancy asking for extra paperwork ! Could have been done way before this Filled in all paperwork by the allotted time I was given to get keys for the next day - no response at all ! I’ve had to email back and forth - found the information has been submitted but no response from her from 2pm ……. Tenancy was booked for the 1st - that’s now been missed ! Now it’s costing me more money as I have to pay to stay in hotels as she didn’t pull her finger out and get the correct paperwork in place Every one else I have dealt with to do with the property has been polite and informative - just the paper work side not at all ! Not impressed as now I have to spend more money out of my own pocket on hotels !

Very happy seller

Jacob and the team in Caversham have delivered a great process on the sale of our property. Found a buyer quickly, managed the process smoothly and delivered a good outcome. I found their communication much better than other agents and they were able to manage around several issues that we had to deal with to get to exchange seemingly with no problem. Managed all interactions with our property manager and kept us up to date throughout. All in all a good experience.

Romans to the Rescue!

After being let down by another agency we decided to give Romans a shot!We were impressed with the level of knowledge, helpfulness, direction and overall 'I can sort this for you' attitude. Natasha Heffron was friendly, polite and approachable right from the start. We particularly liked her 'gut feeling' approach and fully trust she has ours and our tenants best interest at heart.

Excellent experience with Romans Lettings

Romans has been of great help with the entire letting process. Being new in Bristol (and in the UK), we had a lot of questions about the process of tenancy and moving in. Scott has been awesome and guided us with the right information and details of the property, insurance, and a whole lot of other questions. Thanks to the entire team of Romans, Clifton for helping us out.Cheers!!

Lower Earley branch

Lower Earley branch - We cannot fault Joshua for his professionalism and expertise once we had found our next family home. He was consistent in his approach and explained the process and next steps well. He was on the ball when marketing our property too and remained polite and courteous throughout. Unfortunately things didn’t work out as our personal circumstances meant we had to withdraw early on in the process but we were impressed with the way Joshua dealt with it all. He really is a breath of fresh air and we are grateful.

Property Manager

I have dealt with Romans for a number of years in regards to the flat I rent out, recently I have dealt with Aston in the Wokingham branch. I have been pleased with the way she has dealt with any queries and the prompt responses to my emails. Hopefully she will be dealing with my property for the foreseeable future. Thank you Aston

Avoid unless you want no access to basic household utilities

I have been renting a studio flat in Brighton for just over a month. Romans are acting as my letting agent, landlord and property manager. When I moved in there were multiple issues with my flat. The hot taps and shower produced no hot water; my bathroom fan didn’t work; the plug sockets didn’t work properly as they had been incorrectly wired with flex cable and some had burned out (fire hazard); my window stays and sills are rotten so the windows do not shut properly, leading to bad draughts. More recently, the lights in my room stopped working for over a week, and the shower drain is now blocked making showering in my flat impossible.My flat is one of many rooms in a former hotel. It is not only my room that needs attention: the whole building is in a state of disrepair. Half the appliances do not work in the shared kitchen; most of the lights in the corridors do not work; the block fire alarm system has showed ‘multiple faults’ since I arrived and the maintenance alarm frequently sounds. There is block wifi that I am entitled to use - however, Romans could not tell me the password to this and I have had to find my own means to access the internet.Frankly, I should never have been allowed to move into a flat in this state. The nature of the problems means they could not easily be spotted when doing a viewing of the flat; only since moving in have they become apparent. As far as I’m concerned, Romans did not do their due diligence in preparing the flat for someone to live there - no one should have to live without hot water for a month, and no one should be living somewhere with potentially dangerous faulty electrics and faulty fire alarms.Since reporting most of these problems within three days of moving in, the response from Romans has been sloppy at best. Only today, over a month into my tenancy, did an electrician come round to fix the electrical problems. I still have no hot water, the drains are blocked, fire alarms are faulty etc etc. And Romans only sent that contractor after numerous phone calls and emails from me, constantly chasing them up. It’s caused me a lot stress, and is not what I wanted as my first impression of Brighton.

Leading example of excellent customer service!

After weeks of struggling to find a new place to call home, we stumbled across one of Romans' properties. We were so fortunate to have Nathan who guided us through the viewing and application process in detail. We've experienced renting but never have had such a positive process with an agency/agent, so we were incredibly pleased with his transparency and attentiveness. The Tilehurst branch should be very pleased to have such a great representative on their team who sincerely cares about tenant wellbeing, Thank you ever so much!

Thank you very much to Andy and his team for all their efforts in ensuring that we were able to complete our house sale during these challenging times. Selling a house in times like this can be stressful and frustrating but during the whole process, we found the team at Romans to have been very professional, efficient, responsive and reassuring and we were very happy with the service provided!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

5 star move manager, 4 star's however as....

This would be a 5 star as our move manager Catherine was brilliant, helpful, responsive, patient. However it is 4 as I wouldn't use Lifetime legal again as they basically just sell my business and would rather find my own solicitor. The solicitors on both sides where slow and didn't give any feedback, that maybe the norm but 7 months to sell a property to tenants already living there is crazy. Lifetime legal as a the concept sounds great but underneath the hood the service needs checking/monitoring/auditing/governing somewhere by Romans. To be honest just ask the move manager she will tell you. I personally think the move managers have the best view on which solicitors are good or bad. So is this review a reflection on Romans as a whole, I'd say no, this review is a reflection of an individual who works at Romans, that said the experiences of the selling team was also good and have nothing to complain about dealing with the Romans teams, both selling and lettings

Swindon Taw Hill Branch

Swindon Taw Hill Branch, Very unprofessional, rented from them for 13 years (doesn’t mean anything) bad mouth the landlord saying how tight he is and will not pay for repairs, give you two months notice and when you call to say it might be a few days more until we can move out told they will take legal action, nothing else not oh sorry we can’t do that, just straight to we will take legal action, then a few days before you move out email you (no phone call) to say they can’t take the property back on the date they said they could? Given a new date by email (no phone call) waiting for a time, no time given then told to drop the keys at the agent at my earliest convenience (was not told this is how it works) drop the keys off to a young lad and then signed a post it note to confirm I have returned to keys, staff turn over is unreal but says a lot I wouldn’t want to work for there either and learn quickly to be a keyboard warrior, good luck to all the landlords that let them rent there properties for them

Hidden fees, Lies and Unnecessary Complications

They consistently lied about the property, and when we pushed back they patronised us for wanting more information. The agents will either call you 5 times a day, or be unreachable for a day or two at a time, and will never follow up with emails for the paper trail. They also had hidden fees and tried pressuring us to pay £80 for them to take the property off the market; I’ve never heard of this being done at other agencies. They never arranged the key exchange, so the sellers had to leave the keys with the neighbours, who we had never met prior to getting the keys. They made this process unnecessarily difficult, and if I could, I would have gone with any other estate agency.

Thank you Romans Tilehurst

It's been an absolutely lovely experience. We were going through a bit of a rough period, but thanks to them we have been able to find a suitable accomodation for us very quickly. They explained us everything, answered to all our questions, been very available and courteous. It's been such a smooth process so I would like to personally thank Nathan, who really helped and supported us, as well as Mark, Steve and Lorraine. Thank you guys, couldn't recommend you enough!

Not even a star to rate this agency!

Not even a star to rate this agency!They insist to use their solicitors and mortgage advisor, promising a faster process and a refund if the sale fell through due to the seller's fault. Despite paying all requested fees promptly, including additional charges for legal searches, after three months of delays, I was told the purchase required a payment in cash due to missing certifications from the leaseholder. They never shared their correspondence with the seller and i believe this was a fake sale, a scam for the buyer! And I'm sure I'm not the first one going through this kind of experience with Romans! Frustratingly, I later learned from other many agencies that this disclosure is usually made upfront to any potential buyers. When I requested a refund, both the estate agency and solicitor refused, citing penalties for not completing the purchase, something entirely out of my control. The agency's communication was appalling, with one agent hanging up on me and another being rude and unhelpful.This ordeal cost me over thousands£ and many months of stress and anxiety, severely impacting my mental health and disrupting plans with my partner. Despite promises of a smooth and quick sale, I was left feeling scammed and cheated. The agency’s behavior raises concerns about their professionalism and honesty. I am deeply disappointed and expect a full refund or, at the very least, an acknowledgment and apology for the distress caused! Since then I receive scam calls every day!

Happy with the service provided

I have always found the staff at Romans extremely helpful especially Stacey Cowap who always answers emails very promptly. I have a fully managed service which means that any issues are dealt with by Stacey or one of her colleagues and they have a large number of vetted tradespeople at their disposal. My only criticism would be the extra charges they apply in addition to the management fee but on the whole very happy with the service.
