TrustpilotIf you have common sense DO NOT USE
If you have common sense DO NOT USE! We went to view a property, the agent was rude and pre-judged our situation, which they knew nothing about. Have no customer or communication skills… Connells are completely and utterly degrading and disrespectful. How they even get custom, I do not understand! If there was a -5 I would have put that..

TrustpilotThe worst Agents ever!
The worst Agents ever!Try to avoid them as they are totally unprofessional and will try to charge you some ridiculous amounts of money. We decided to let our property through them going for the full management and after 3 mouths we ended up without any payment received, as they were saying the money are bouncing back! At the moment going through endless complaints procedure! What a joke this company is ! Bunch of unprofessional people! AVOID AVOID AVOID

TrustpilotAbsolutely terrible service, a waste of money
How am I giving them money to 'manage' a property when they do little to no work. I wish I had the confidence to charge for a service and then did absolutely nothing. Kudos

TrustpilotAvoid if you can
The valuer seemed to be a good person to chat but I would question his professional judgement. He undervalued ( compared to THE well respected local agents) the house without any justification. It didn't affect the end result as I was just switching the lender. Would have lost the property had I been a buyer.Yes he works for lenders for a measly fee but where was his professional judgement?

GoogleKeep getting sent marketing emails despite having asked several times to not be contacted, both via phone and email. It wouldn’t be so bad, but the properties they are sending me aren’t even relevant to our requirements, so just shows how bad they are at their job.

TrustpilotUnbelievably bad experience
Unbelievably bad experience. We have been let down massively multiple times. We had major health and safety issues, unusable toilets for 2 months and we only heard promises.We had to contact Private housing at the city council to get them to do something. Unreliable would be a compliment for them. Do not use these people, seriously.I can keep going with how many problems we had but there is no point. Their ratings say it all.

GoogleJames Allen from Connells was very helpful from start to end . I was quite blind to buying new properties, but I’ve always found my way with proper guidance from James. I highly recommend Connells and James for mortgage or property related matters. Shibi

5/5
GoogleBrought my house through Connells and used their mortgage broker, James, and their conveyancing team, notably Hester. Top bananas with all their help and support. Also, Callum and Gemma the estate agents were great help and worked hard to get the answers to questions you may have. Also, if Callum reads this, i still owe you a bottle of wine and i havent forgottenPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

Trustpilotunhappy tennant
Renting my first property with them, was told it would be finished for the day I got my keys, 5 weeks later I’m still waiting for my cupboard doors to be fired, my shower to be fixed and the nail sticking out of my banister to be removed. They’re quick enough to take the rent out of my account although they put me in arrears as they never took my account number for future payments.

TrustpilotBeware hidden charges
Reasonably easy ride but no real surprise as a first time buyer and a chain free seller. Very annoyed at extra charges that were on back of the very small print in the contract, which were not pointed out and we assumed that buying a fixed fee service would be exactly that!

TrustpilotOvercharged. Watch Out!
Update: my landlord no longer uses Connells for any of his properties as they have been uselessI rented a property via the Exeter branch and was overcharged by £150 on the day I was trying to move in. The agent was rude, patronising and verging on threatening. I paid as I had no other option. When I made an official complaint I was refunded into my account with no apology. Extraordinarily expensive for very poor service.

GoogleJames was very polite and professional and made a daunting task seem very easy and straight forward, explaining everything with clarity.

TrustpilotJoke of a company
This company are an absolute joke...rude surveyor came and walked in with the smallest of introductions, spent 10 minutes in the house and walked out with the parting words, “the bank will be in touch”. Undervalued the property based on 2 RICS reports we paid to have over the past 18 months and now affecting our mortgage. Do not use. Apparently their valuations are “Law”. Laughable..! Can I do a minus review..?

TrustpilotFake marketing to gain personal data
They put fake properties for sale on Rightmove, using this way to gain personal data from customers. Don't understand why this kind of low value providing companies exiting in the market. Full of scammer and scumbags. Don't deal with them if you can avoid at all! Especially the branch in Warwick, absolutely disgusting.

TrustpilotI would not recommend Connells to anyone
The attitude of the surveyor was bordering on rude.The report contained some items that were inapplicable to this house, a badly researched, unnecessary and potentially hugely expensive recommendation regarding the roof, many items that were difficult to associate with the interior or exterior of this house and some recommendations that were simply mendacious.This company added to the stress of selling our family home of 25 years and added complication and anger to the experience.

Trustpilot5 Star
I cannot recommend connells enough. The whole process has been seamless from buying a new home and selling ours. Liam especially has always been there for any questions we have and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely 5 star service

5/5
GoogleRenting a property with Connells has been an absolute pleasure. From the outset there has been excellent, clear communication with the office for all queries. Our agent, Tommy Hockton, has been wonderful - professional, friendly, informative, patient and extremely helpful. He has managed to keep us updated on changes etc as well as putting our minds at ease about any little concerns we may have had - he's an amazing asset to the team.
