Viewing changed without letting us know
We were booked into viewing a 2 bedroom flat because we’re expecting our first child. Myself and my partner had to take unpaid time off work but the agent changed the appointment without letting us know

Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish. The whole branch were so helpful and communicative but Brandon in particular was outstanding. Thank you so much, you made our first time buying a home a LOT less stressful. We will be going straight to Brandon in all future sales. 5*!!!!!!!!!!PositiveProfessionalism

3* overall but 5* for Emily and Cameron
Conveyancing team messed up a bit which delayed the transaction and the team selling the mortgage services were pushy and annoying. BUT if I could give a separate review for Cameron and Emily they would get 5 stars, they were both delightful to deal with and went over and above to help us out!

Cowboys taking kickbacks
Beware of any house sales involving Connells. They will appoint DC Law as solicitors (who are abysmal) because they take kickbacks from them. All deadlines missed. All emails ignored. No communication. Terrible company - avoid like the plague.

Bad experience
I rented out two properties by Connells and they totally mixed up my account. They promised to refund my fee charge but I haven't received a refund in my account. After I called them multiple times, they said they would send a cheque for me but they didn't. It's been 4 months and I still haven't got my money back.

The worst
Honestly the worst experience Ive ever had! From selling to letting they are absolutely useless! No one know what they are doing, no one cares, there unbelievably rude, there seriously unprofessional and terrible at there jobs! Do not use this company! They are a joke!!!
2/5
No interest after sale has been made
Once the sale has been made all interest is lost in the property and service is non-existent. No sale progression or follow up. Very poor service.I was also recommended their in-house conveyancing team (conveyancing direct) who give a similarly poor service.I wouldn't consider using the Connells group again.
5/5
Excellent experience
Connells secured me 3 offers above expectation and were extremely helpful and accessibility throughout the sales process. Although one sale fell through (as a result of commercial restrictions on the property) Connells were very quick to drum up new interest and were on hand to deal with any concerns I had. I have no hesitation in recommending this company
2/5
Incompetent
The agent that was sent to do our viewings in Exeter didn’t know anything about the properties. Not the EPC, not if it was in a chain, not what the parking situation was. It’s already hard to accept agents’ dishonesty, when they’re also incompetent it really makes it an unbearable experience.
5/5
Amazing service. They helped us with our first buying process. Aimee and Pawan (broker) made it easier and smoother. We are so grateful for all support we have.

Absolutely shocking
Absolutely furious with Connells under valuation on a btl property fully returned to a high standard costing 45k purchased for 220k so costs 265k yet Connells valued it at 265k...unreal when other property similar fetches 300 to 325k ....shocking company would never use them again and any lender associated with them.

Sale fell through and they won't give…
Sale fell through and they won't give me back the money that i paid to the solicitors! That money never even reached the solicitors so it should be refunded but they are refusing. NEVER use them or their conveyancing team! Scammers and Frauds! Plus the money they took is more than the cost of usual searches.

THIS COMPANY IS DISGUSTING
THIS COMPANY IS DISGUSTING. THEY WILL ONLY SELL A HOUSE TO YOU IF YOU USE THEIR MORTGAGE SERVICES & SOLICITORS - THEY WILL CONTINUE ON WITH VIEWINGS BEYOND ACCEPTING AN OFFER FROM YOU LEAVING YOU WITHOUT A HOUSE TO BUY. PROPERTY OMBUDSMAN COMPLAINT RAISED. THEY ARE UNDERHAND - RUDE- COCKY - TARGET DRIVEN - UNCARING ROBOTS.
1/5
Completely useless
Completely useless. Avoid at all costs. 19 days after vacating the property and still no update from the deposit release team. There's always some excuse about either covid, illness, or maternity leave. You'd think this company is run by one person.
1/5
Keep sending me junk mail
Keep sending me junk mail - signed up to their new property alerts, but when I tried to unsubscribe after buying a property through a different agent, they kept sending me loads of junk mail. I have contacted them about 5-6 times now to stop and they still won't stop nearly 4 months after I first unsubscribed.

Awful do not let with them especially the one in plymouth. Will delay application and then refuse to give you your deposit back when they decide to cancel. Scammers

Clueless Surveyors
The surveyor valued a house i own as a garage conversion and would not see the error of their ways. Its a new build! Surely the planning application gives it away!! Shocking organization. I will never use a lender that uses them ever again.

Worst company ever sold house no contact waited 12 weeks buyer pulled out connells did not even know. Sold agin waited 4 weeks to tell my solicitor worst customer sevice ever. Not suprised to see so many sokd signs as they aint intrested unless the sale is worth over 250000. Not enough money in it for them.

Do not use this terrible letting agency. Staff are rude and unequipped to help. I have had major issues with my property since I moved in and three months later no nearer getting them sorted. Really bad service. Will never use them again and will get out of my contract as soon as I can.

MY SIMPLE ADVICE TO YOU IS NEVER USE…
MY SIMPLE ADVICE TO YOU IS NEVER USE CONNEL PLEASE. THEY ARE SCAMMERS. I HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH CONNEL. THEIR BRANCH MANAGER NAMED NICOLA IS BULLY AND TOXIC. AVOID WITH ALL COST
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
