TrustpilotSuperb service
I am first time buyer and like any other I found "all home buy" process very frustrating. It was very daunting till I went to Connells where I met perfect specialist and adviser Kasia Gawron. With her professional help everything went so easy and smoothly that I couldn't imagine it can be.One more time thank you, Kasia, for all your help and support during my trip to a new home.

TrustpilotNorth Bristol Connells
North Bristol Connells, My daughter and her B/F paid Morgage Broker 700.00 to end up applying for a 5 year Fixed 2.39% Nationwide BS Morgage with Nationwide, Product fee of 995.00, same Morgage available on Nationwide BS website @ 2.29%, thus if purchase concludes to completion daughter and her b/f will be paying Nationwide fee to morgage broker by virtue of slightly higher rate as well as having paid 700 fee themselves.

TrustpilotWorst estate agent ever
Worst estate agent ever. Wish I had read the reviews before using them.They gave me ad advice as to how to market the property and gave meno feedback on viewings I had to chase them all the time.The property only sold when I ignored their advice. They admitted they only tell clients part of the feedback. The only thing they were efficient at was presenting a bill for appalling service AVOID THIS AGENCY

TrustpilotPut a bid on a house
Put a bid on a house. Went to best and final offers. Subsequently found out despite bidding £10,000 more than other party and in better circumstances (no chain, mortagage agreed etc) we lost out. Turns out it was due to estate agents knowing the other buyers and wanting to give them a cheaper sale. Lied to seller about our circumstances to m to approve other buyer. Cowboys stay clear

Trustpilotbad customer experience
They do not update the status of the properties on the website and other platforms. Wasted my time enquiring unavailable properties. Nearly all of the property I enquired were no longer available. Also I think it is dishonest that they said the price written was for an unfurnished apartment, yet on the website said the apartment is furnished.

I’m so glad I’m not the owner of this branch the closed sign is on the front door and the two staff that are working are sitting on there mobile phones, just walked passed 1 hour later and still on her mobile phone texting, very productive office. I would suggest who’s in charge of paying these staff start tracking there hours of no productive work

TrustpilotWould have given 0 stars
Would have given 0 stars, but Connells are just unprofessional, do not know what they are doing, i have sold my house in February and yet still not received payments and anything, they keep taking us round in circles, telling us a date then totally going past this and making it longer and longer, wish I never used this company as total numptys, never again

TrustpilotNo Enthusiasm
My son is looking for his first home to buy. He called Connell repeatedly about a flat he was interested in and they didn’t make much effort to call him back or set anything up. In the end I had to call and arrange a viewing.Son and his dad went on the viewing. The agent was very halfhearted and didn’t show any enthusiasm about the property. Very underwhelmed.

Poor communication. Go with another estate agent. Connels is hopeless.

GoogleConnells Ipswich - A business is only as good as the people it employs. In this case I would like to applaud Callum in the Ipswich branch who worked tirelessly on my behalf. He was very good at keeping me informed of what is happening. He always returned my calls and responded to email promptly.

TrustpilotThe perfect name actually CON-nells.
The perfect name actually CON-nells.I was happy till the day before move-in but since this agency is full of fraudsters; they lie and deceive you till you make any payments and once that is done with good faith then they start ignoring you because that's what con artists do.

GoogleConnells Estate Agents provided a very professional service keeping me informed every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble. Information relating to the house sale was delivered courteously and in a timely manner ensuring that the sale progressed smoothly. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Connells Estate Agents and I would happily use them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Went to them to rent a house,booked a viewing. Got a call on viewing day that they had to rebook, i took another day off work for the viewing just to get another call saying that the landlord doesn't accept us because i get in work beneffits...this was meant to be disscussed after viewing not before and in my opinion Michelle has this house put asside for some of her friends. Totally unprofessional

TrustpilotCon - nells
Put in a offer with connells estate agents and basically forcing our hand to use there in house mortgage adviser or else they wouldn’t put forward our offer, we had all or correct documents and a mortgaging principle. Which I later found out was illegal! They basically told me I’m not interested in the house due to not using their in house mortgage adviser.

Would not book a viewing for a flat without first making me come to their office to push their own morgage advisor who comes with a £599 price tag. They said that this was due to them recieving too many "time-wasters".

GoogleExcellent professional and personal service from Callum from start to finish. Superb photos taken of the house which ensured it sold very quickly. The whole process was seamless especially after previously having many issues with an online only estate agent!

TrustpilotStill awaiting refund
Was informed i would receive a refund of my holding fee from the plymouth branch for a property that was taken off the market. Have still not received this a MONTH later and am stuck in a loop of the branch blaming the accounts department and vice versa. Also have been informed that i am only due a partial refund even though i never received any services from them. Do not trust.

GoogleI was very impressed with the service from James the mortgage advisor at the Ipswich branch in Princes Street both James and Lauren helped me re mortgage my house to pay off my ex partner. They were either at the end of the phone or email to ask any questions and help with some of the paperwork that had to be completed. Thank you both.

The worst Agency to deal with was running late to meeting that was arranged only 20mins prior to me leaving and this is at peak traffic, the guy was so rude because I was going to be late, would not let me speak kept talking to me how bad I am. Worst Agency ever will never sell or buy through them ever

TrustpilotWorst Agent Ever
Awful communicationBooked viewing in person but then 8 minutes before the confirmed time another email arrived to say that this would be a Desk Top Valuation - meaning agent would not even attend the property to view. What a waste of time!!!
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.
