GoogleAs i first time buyer it was very daunting to go through the process, my experience with Burchell Edwards has been fantastic! Jade was brilliant at keeping me up to date regularly and actually emailed me property I am now purchasing as she thought I would be interested from the criteria I told her. Rachel (mortgage advisor) is wonderful! She explained everything fully and actioned everything extremely quickly! Together they have made my experience of buying my first house very stess free and enjoyable! I cannot thank them enough!

TrustpilotLandlord says you don't need boiler
We were told if we wanted to rent we had to move in within 4 days, we were not allowed to give any notice for the property we are currently in. So we had to take the keys on a monday evening, then couldn't actually see the property until the weekend. The boiler doesn't work, the ceiling in the kitchen is so damp it has fallen through, the kitchen units are damp, the only electrics are the lights and shower, the cooker is unusable. Both Burchell and the landlord have said we don't require a boiler and we don't require electrics to move in, in October. One comment we thought was rather exceptional was "if it was your house you would still have to pay the mortgage, so you still need to pay the rent, even if you can't live there". I've rented for 22 years up and down the country, Burchell Edwards is by far and away the worst experience i have had.

TrustpilotShocking
The worst agent possible. DO NOT use this agency.Overpriced compared to all local agents, they fixed their price off of an inflated price (confirmed by other agents and RICS afterward).Took 2 weeks to get 4 viewings, no offers.No further viewings in 3 months despite lowering our price.Most importantly they tie you into 3 month exlusivity contract, compared to 1 month elsewhere.Worst of all 90% of the time i called them, no-one answered, and most of the time voicemail full. If that happens to me the vendor, imagine how difficult it is for potential viewers.

TrustpilotDo NOT waste your time
Having taken all my details (enough to clone me) I was told a member of staff was on holiday and I would have to take another hour giving my information again. Then that person left I was passed onto a third member. All 3 of them left the company, my concern is that clearly they could take my information. How in the modern world is this possible? Then to be told by the third person they charged for this service. Incredible.

GoogleSold our house in just over 8 weeks. Matthew. Jason and the Ilkeston team have been great.
Iβd recommend selling your property with Burchell Edwards. We sold and bought through them as studios in the Ilkeston area. They are the market leaders in the DE7 area.

Someone came over to value our house approx two weeks ago. He told us that he'd get back to us with the full report via email asap. My dad has called them several times to ask where this report is, and he's been fobbed off with excuses every time he's called as to why the guy can't come to the phone. Awful company to deal with. Won't be using them again!!!!

TrustpilotDO NOT USE FOR LETTINGS!!!
DO NOT USE FOR LETTINGS!!!Absolutely rubbish constant changing of staff. No checks done properly, just constant lies about everything. No support whatsoever I was constantly having to chase them, never answered there phone for the two years the fully managed my property which was always left in a state because checks were not done. I still have letters from utility bills coming to me from last year because the agent didn't bother to pass them on. This was fully managed! Could do a better job on my own especially when all they were interested in was raising the fee I paid. Good riddance to them so glad I'm with a better agent.

GoogleAfter concluding our tenancy we are unable to get our deposit back from these people. They have not made a request for deductions, and we have been fobbed off or ignored when trying to get our deposit returned. Will soon be putting in a dispute with TDS for the return of our deposit. Never had this kind of issue with an estate agent before. Be warned if renting with Burchell Edwards, their approach to deposits is below a professional standard.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

Avoid the Tamworth branch if you are thinking of selling your house!They tie you in to a six month contract, they then donβt have any motivation to sell your house. They will not release you from the contract early and the only way to stop the company selling your house is to send them a two week notice to take your house off the market! Then have to wait till your six months is up to try sell your house with some one elseβ¦ Thanks for nothing Burchell Edwardβs
