Woolliams Property Services Hackney reviews

As bad and rude as they come

Really really bad business. Me? A cash buyer willing to pay the asking price; one problem, the estate agent owner has a very bad attitude! Add to that, clearly bad / low valuations and refusals to allow potential buyers to view, etc. This possibly / probably to allow quick sales to "special" buyers; quick commissions for Woolliams but lousy sales price for their sellers, plus real buyers not allowed to achieve market prices / buy. Have been reliably told that Woolliams get friends, family, etc to leave fake positive reviews! BAD for sellers and buyers.

We cannot recommend Woolliams highly enough

Danny Woolliams is a diamond amongst agents in North Devon and Torridge. His experience shone through as soon as we met him. He was the first agent to explain how RightMove works. In this difficult market he will find a way to sell your house, as he did for us. He is genuinely unlike any estate agent we have ever met - persistent, persuasive and patient - and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Actually, 5 stars aren't enough ...

A great recommendation from my schoolmate, John. Wow! Fantastic, friendly and competent service, always available for questions and support. Amazing photos of the rooms by Jess, Lucy did great viewings (obviously) and Danny really went the extra mile for me and for my brother in many ways. Can 100% recommend this company. Thank you again for making sure things ran smoothly.

A huge thank you to Lucy, who, when showing us around properties, is exactly what you need. Calm, friendly and approachable. We found that when we were being showed into properties, Lucy was the least pushy estate agent, allowing us to explore the property (with supervision from a distance) and discuss what we would do without being interrupted. Thank you for being so lovely!

Lucy impress me so much when showing me around a property that I knew when I went back on the market that it would be Woolliams that I chose. Lucy is very knowledgeable and real lovely friendly professional person who has made my sales experience far easier than it could’ve been. She really got my house and put her heart in soul into selling it. Then once I got an offer Lucy and Danny, both went out of their way, to make it as stress free and seamless as possible I cannot thank either them enough for all they have done. Highly recommended and Five Star Service

Efficient, professional and friendly

We used Woolliams to sell our mum’s house at a time when property wasn’t selling very easily. The process was very straightforward and Lucy kept us updated at every stage. She made sensible useful suggestions to make the house more saleable and even put us in touch with a solicitor. She answered our queries quickly and I know she worked hard to sell the house with success. I would recommend this company to anyone wishing to sell a property.

Worst Barnstaple estate agent IMHO As a seller I contacted most estate agents via the Rightmove app; you enquire with one agent and it asks you if you want to send to all others. I received auto-responses from each. I emailed all back all with specifics of our home and what we were were looking to buy (we wanted to downsize from our existing 6/7 bedrooms to 4 and would consider buying in advance of moving out and renovating). I received responses from everyone, many very keen due to our property address. Woolliams was probably the most generic lacklustre response of all of them. I followed up by checking out each agent's location and portfolio. No disrespect to Woolliams, but their non-prime location and lower end mostly for rent portfolio (absolutely no shame in that) meant they were unsuitable IMHO to sell our existing home. As a buyer We saw a listing by Woolliams on Rightmove that was in a very good location in Newport but needed significant renovation. I enquired and made a viewing appointment. We met Danny Woolliams at the property and he seemed agitated as he got out his car. I am wheelchair bound and he made no effort to assist (e.g. allow us to park closer on the driveway); other agents showing us other properties were very helpful, not Danny. He refused to help me get in the house; other agents helped when viewing elsewhere. Danny clearly had not read the emails I sent him to explain what we wanted; he asked “What is it you are looking for?”. I have a speech defect (which is why I set out our wish list in the emails) but Danny made no attempt to listen; he simply said “Look, I don't understand you” and then proceeded to talk over me while I was explaining things to my wife. What made it worse is he completely trashed the property we came to view, telling us point by point how bad it was, which was bizarre. Of course, Danny was actually dissing the one we had come to view and started trying to switch us onto a completely different (in every way, including the area / location) property on the basis it was what we really should be looking for in his opinion! In short, Danny was exceptionally unprofessional and rude. I complained about his conduct by email but was met with denial of wrongdoing. A few days later, my wife asked me to enquire for her about another property (I told her I did not want to view as it clearly had issues from reading between the details lines, and I did not really want to meet with Danny again). I made an enquiry for her anyway, but she was / we were ignored. When we followed up (RSVP) a couple of times, Danny refused to show it to her / me (I already said I wasn't going to view with her but asked about some apparent issues with it). No loss for me but my wife was upset to have been treated like she was (she did not say anything critical to Danny and the property we were looking to buy would be hers, in her name alone as I have MND and only a limited time to live, it makes sense). I could have said much more in my review but held back. e.g. Some of what Danny told us about other clients was totally inappropriate if not unlawful.

The Woolliams team in Barnstaple have recently marketed & sold our property in Bickington, North Devon. With their understanding and knowledge of the local area, this daunting task was undertaken with fantastic communication throughout the process. I would definitely recommend Woolliams to anyone wanting a stress free and professional property sale. Thank you Danny & Lucy. ☆☆☆☆☆

Highly Recommended

Danny and Lucy were extremely helpful and supportive and pro active going beyond what an estate agency would normally do. They were always amiable and informative and were always prompt in answering any queries. They were still happy to help even though we did not purchase a property through them. We would not hesitate to use them in the future.

Useless. When trying to view a house for rent, they demanded for us to complete a full reference before viewing. Just as lazy as one can get. Moreover, both my wife and me keep getting requests for this reference despite having called them asking to cancel this.

Woolliams Feedback

The Team at Woolliams were supportive throughout the entire process from the point that the property was listed to the completion date. This included dealing with the Solicitors once the sale was agreed. Communication was excellent (and at a personal level). I knew of all the viewings and we spoke regularly on progress. The advice I was given was sound and based on years of experience in the local property market, as well as current trends. I recommend Woolliams most highly.
