Larkham and Pike Hatfield reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

I bought properties through Pikes in 1998 and 1999, which they rented out to students for me for 15 years, until the stress of renting to students got too much. By then I had retired, so had more time to look after the properties, and rented the houses room by room to professionals, mostly Eastern European, who pay rent in full and on time, rarely take drugs and keep their house clean! Even though they do not act as agents for me any more, I still go to them for help and advice, property valuations and sales. I mostly deal with the excellent and knowledgable Jonathan, who was there 20 years ago when I bought my first house, but the whole team, Alan, Paul, Bradley and Chrissie are very helpful, resourceful and reliable. Thoroughly recommended.

Great service. Broken fridge? Replaced within days. Leak from the change in weather? Immediate next day send out and a follow up call to let us know exactly what's going on. The guys at Larkham and pike go above and beyond, John and the rest of the team are who you want as your agents!!

They are one of the worst Estate Agents and peopled by group of amateurs who don't really know what they are doing or their responsibilities. I attempted to buy a house through them but they have messed up my time and the money I had spent on the transaction. At the time I went to view the property, I was told by their staff that the roof of the house was recently replaced and said that it should still be under warranty because roofing are usually gurantee for 25yrs. After I had spent money on homebuyer report, done searches, etc. Their seller could not provide any documentation on the works on the property including the roofing. No warranty and no single documentation on the roofing, boiler, and the recent works done in the property. A closer look at the roof showed that it is still leaking . Confused Pikes also failed/refused to convince the seller to take indemnity insurance. An Estate Agent ought to be a negotiator but they failed woefully to negotiate and let their seller know her responsibilities. Conclusion, don't use them! They are very rude and will waste your time and money. They are amateur estate agent who don't know much about the business.

Pikes helped myself and my partner purchase our first home together. They were faultless and constantly kept us informed and updated from the day we first viewed the house to the day we picked up the keys. Great friendly staff who were on the ball and always willing to help us with anything we needed. I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone that is looking to buy/sell/rent

Brilliant estate agents with a truly caring team. I stayed in 11 Field View Court for my first 6 months in Hertfordshire and the quality of the flat was fantastic. Everything done to a hog spec from the paint work to the facilities. Not to …

Pikes have looked after my flat for nearly 10 years now and I hope there are many more years to come. They are professional, efficient and helpful with a friendly team that is always on hand to deal with everything and anything that comes up. Pikes has enabled me to remove the additional stress of managing my property comes with. Thank you to all at Pikes.

Grateful for an incredible nearly 4-year experience with Larkham & Pike. Maintenance responses were quick, and lease renewals were seamless. Highly recommend for a hassle-free and satisfying rental experience!

I've noticed that there is quite a few fake reviews on these people. While I was a student and a tenant I had a bad experience, they have staff who are incredibly arrogant and completely useless. They also stole around £500 in deposit deductions from us for a property that was left in a very good state with no breakages.

Having been both a tenant with Pikes and now a landlord, I've found them to be helpful and informative every step of the way. Supportive from a tenant's perspective (even when the landlord wasn't) and they really made the effort in helping me navigate the the process of renting out my first property. Thanks again guys :o)

Courteous and professional, purchase went smoothly and kept me in the loop. One thing I would add would be to self introduce yourselves guys when answering the phone but apart from that I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for your patience and help.

The member of staff that I dealt with when renting a property took us around to view a property and spent the whole time playing Pokemon go. When it came to signing the contract there were lots of fees that he did not tell me about, he seemed and still seems very unhelpful and uninterested in his job.

Unprofessional

I have faced so many problems since letting a property through Pikes. They have let themselves into my house without notice and demanding to speak with me (once when I was still in the shower) on several occasions. They are extremely rude and unprofessional. If only I knew this was what I was getting into...be warned.

Fantastic agency, Aimee and her colleagues kept in close contact and always went above and beyond to rectify any issues I had. By far the best agency I have used.

Not recommended. We were about to rent a place and we even paid them the holding deposit. Still they gave that place to another group. Waste of time.

Rude, useless staff. Dont care about their tenants. Only care about money. They are happy for tenants to live in a unsafe property and fall unwell because of it. Disgusting how they treat people. Worst estate agent I know. Wish I could give them no star rating. 0/5. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE.

Suprised

Didn't look at reviews before I rented with them but ended up better than my last agent, all important problems fixed and deposit came back in full...but we cleaned the hell out of the house! Loads of my friends didn't get their full deposit but they lived like slobs...would rent from them again.

Friendly, professional people that know what they are doing, giving a first class service. When things go wrong they get on and sort it competently, leaving me with the peace of mind that I need as a landlord knowing that my property is in good hands.

Absolute worst experience. They scammed us for our money and wasted our time. Students traveling to UK, never choose this realtors.

Useless

Useless workers. Have had multiple problems with the house including leaks, blocked pipes and mould, reported to the agents which results in empty promises being made. They say they will do something which never actually happens. Staff are rude and unhelpful all round.Never using Pikes again. Avoid.
