Don’t bother using them

So we booked the appointment well in advance it was fine then I received three phone calls from three different people then I got told that one of their viewers had gone sick and blah blah blah and I said forget it. Do you know what if you can’t be bothered to communicate properly with each other and phone me over the same things and send me 20 odd emails or thanking me for picking you I can’t be bothered because I can’t guarantee you’re gonna sell my house properly. Don’t bother using them.

I’ve just purchased a property with the help of mortgage broker Mandy, who was so helpful and informative. She gave so much time to explain and get the best possible rates. Highly recommend. The Taylor’s team, Chris, Conner and Ben were also very helpful, answering all my queries in very good timing. Thank you to the team.

I've just completed the sale of my flat through Taylors, and can't recommend them highly enough. The whole team where efficient, friendly and supportive - Ben Starr handled our sale brilliantly and was really responsive to any concerns or enquiries that we had. Really happy with the service!

I sold my house in Hitchin through Taylors and i had a lovely experience working with them. They arranged several viewings and were very professional throughout. Once under offer i wasnt hassled, and when certain things had to be arranged they were very helpful and accommodating. Even a day afyer completion theyre still being helpful! Connor was a joy, too!

I recently sold my property through Taylors in Hitchin and was very happy with the service received. My house sold the first week of going on the market. All the staff were friendly and professional with a good understanding of the developments of the sale as it progressed. This is the second time I have used Taylor's in Hitchin and I've been happy both times.

I was convinced that selling my Mother's flat would be complicated and lengthy - she has severe dementia, I was power of attorney, living 160 miles away, and the flat had a short lease. Taylors help and professional approach made the entire process stress free, with the flat selling at auction in a short timescale. Many thanks, Steve, Connor and the team at Taylors.

Thanks Nathaniel Allibone & team

As a landlord it is great to deal with Nathaniel and her team. They are efficient and ensure that tenant requests are promptly resolved. They are transparent in what work was done, how much it will cost and the impact of not doing the work. I can even be away and trust them to make the right decision on my behalf that is cost effective. Thank you so much Nathaniel Allibone and her team for doing a sterling work.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I would have given a zero star rating but it would only allow 1 star. Avoid at all cost. I would never recommend this company along with Jjl interiors Ltd landlords to anyone. The communication from the both of them is extremely shocking. I rented out a property which seemed to be all good. However, once moved in, there was problem after problem. Which every problem was reported back to them as things needs repairing. From leaks in the roof, sewer drain backing up into the toilet and sink, rats running around, mould growing up the side of the wall in the kitchen, no fascia on the outside wall where the rats were getting in. these were main things that I reported starting back in July 2023, in which I had to chase them up constant to try and get these sorted as these are something that should be a big priority. Upon emails and phones calls that were sent, still nothing was done. They eventually got someone to come out after months, to look at the roof and done a horrendous job as the roof still leaked. They were supposed to put the fascia on but left it on the floor in the garden. I sent a picture of the rats to them and still done nothing. The sewer drain kept backing up and flooding the garden with sewage which backed up coming back up into the toilet. I reported the drain in the November and nothing got done. With the rain pours that we had did not help with it at all. There were so many other minor problems that I had yet to report such as the front door dropped so it was difficult to lock/unlock, no seal in the living room window so you can see outside, the living room light and dining room light were wired wrong as one switch did not work and the other would turn both of them on and off at the same time, when the gas had an inspection the engineer said that it was earthed wrong, I could go on with so many other issues but I didn’t get around to reporting them due to trying to get the other issues sorted. The communication is shocking. June this year I had a contractor come out to look at the roof after months of reporting that roof still leaks, he came and didn’t do anything because he said that whoever patched it up did a really bad job that the whole roof needs replacing. This was the last straw and managed to end my agreement. Now on the next problem, the tenancy ended at the beginning of July last month and now the landlord has the audacity to deduct money off my deposit for cleaning deductions, which I had left the property in high standard and clean which I have photos and videos to prove how I left it. He is only giving me just over half of my deposit back. And I’m still trying to get any of my deposit back and now trying to get an answer from the agency and landlord seem impossible. The stress that the agency and landlord have put me through since I moved in has been awful. They made the house look nice etc until you move in and see the close ups which turn out to be horrible patched up work. I just want my deposit back and be on my way but they cant even seem to do that. Considering they have a 90 day period where they hold your deposit for, they don’t seem to be in any rush giving it back. I will be taking this further as I haven’t heard anything back yet again and have none of my deposit back!

I was in a very difficult situation…

I was in a very difficult situation with accomodation, so I fortunately bumped on Taylors online. I saw a very beautiful apartment but wasn't sure of getting it at that moment I needed it. But to my greatest surprise the letting agent( Ruby) and her partners made it happen. The paper works, vetting were swift and and amazing and now I am settled with my family in a beautiful home. Thanks to the management of Taylors and staffs for their receptive and professional approach. You guys are the best.

Honesty and integrity are the traits we look forward to when buying or selling a property and Taylors showed not only these traits but also perseverance and very quick response time. We have been on both sides with Taylors now, firstly we were buyers 6 years ago and were very impressed with Taylors Hitchin in terms of their professionalism and candid approach which lead us to go to them while selling the same property and they did not disappoint on any front! Special thanks to Steve and Chris for making the whole sale process so smooth and stress free for us! highly recommendedPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Also trading as countrywide lettings

Also trading as countrywide lettings, see there trustpilot! Vernin of the highest order, bottom feeders who have absolutely no idea what they are doing, and they also actively encourage landlords to increase your rent yearly. Cant wait to see this shower go bust

Bayley was incredibly helpful when we popped in to talk about buying a property. He was able to show us what was available and arrange a viewing the same day which was so helpful. He was personable and friendly and represented the agent well.

Friendly, hard working, efficient and communicative. Ben and Chris were excellent throughout the process of our house sale. We used Taylors recommended solicitors, leading to a seamless sale, completing quickly, and two very happy clients.

Taylors was our second agent and we spent a long time researching all the local agencies before making a decision because we had a bad experience with another local agent. We are so pleased we chose Taylors. They sold our house in under 3 weeks (our house was on with another agent for 9 weeks and did not sell). Taylors were highly professional and their excellent local knowledge meant the house was priced appropriately and carefully marketed to attract the right buyers. Taylors are not the cheapest agent in town, but they were worth every penny. I must give a special mention to Chris (the manager) who was outstanding in our after-sale care. He worked tirelessly contacting solicitors and the buyer’s agents to co-ordinate and push the sale forward. Nothing was too much trouble for Chris and he always replied to messages and emails promptly. Steve and Shauna were also excellent. If you are looking for an agency who offer a professional service, have the ability to understand your house and who your potential buyers are and are also committed to looking after the sale through the conveyancing process I would highly recommend you talk to Taylors.

I recently spoke to Ben regarding 0% deposits when purchasing a house, Ben talked me through all the options and on obtaining one and how best to achieve this. I definitely recommend requesting Ben if you’re thinking about buying or selling a home.

If I could score less than one star I…

If I could score less than one star I would. I called about a property, turns out it was false advertising and a scam and illegally listed. The lady on the phone was rude and condescending, she didn't listen to anything I said and kept repeating the same questions, she couldn't get her facts right and then she had a hissy fit and hung up on me. If they treat all their customers like this they will be out of business in a week. They definitely don't know GDPR law, they may end up in prison with a £18 million pounds fine

I would like to take some time to express my gratitude to you all , Firstly on the professional advice in the beginning absolutely no pressure from anyone to put our house on the market just great advice . Then the buying of another house again great support multi viewings until we put an offer on the property, nothing was to much trouble for the team. The sale of our house went through very smoothly, unfortunately it was a different matter for the purchase of our new property. Chris Hardy was absolutely amazing he was there for us every day on the phone emails and our go to man, although we had a solicitor we dealt more with him . In the end we pulled out of buying the property , this was again a big decision for us but Chris showed us compassion and felt our stress . I have been into your Hitchin branch to thank them it some how doesn’t enough, Chris and Steve are an absolute asset to your company and if I ever sell my property again I would only use Taylor’s in Hitchin. Big thank you from Mr & Mrs H

We have used Lorna Esson from countrywide on a couple of occasions now. We can not recommend her enough. From being first time buyers to then staircasing our whole property, Lorna takes the time to understand your needs and supports you along the way. After our first meeting she put us at ease and we wouldn’t use any one else now. If you want an experienced mortgage advisor or someone to help you staircase your shared ownership property then we would highly recommend Lorna. Thank you so much. We couldn’t have done it without you!

A professional, efficient and very well run business. Marketing Manger Ben Starr was very knowledgeable, he provided us with some great advice that ultimately helped us make the decision that was right for us and our family. Would definitely recommend using Taylor’s in Hitchin.
