TrustpilotJust don't use this Estate Agent
Just don't use this Estate Agent. And really don't use them to do an Inventory. They made so many errors we had to almost redo it ourselves. They missed the Fridge Freezer. Washing machine and Dishwasher in the Kitchen. They said there was a white wooden wardrobe in the bathroom, there isn't I could go on and on. I have asked for a refund but of course not heard anything!

TrustpilotTheir inefficiency made me lose a living place
This is how I kept urging the agent to follow up & how their inefficiency made me lost a living place in Sep.I viewed the flat on 4th Aug and paid holding deposit on the same date. My offer was accepted on 7th Aug. When Hunters and Homelet spend more than one month for my reference check and preparation of lodger agreement, I kept asking them when I can sign the contract and so I can transfer 6 month upfront rent and deposit.On 7th Aug, I tried to enter my details of reference check on the same date. However, the system had bug. Hunters staff helped me enter the details with their internal systems in the following day, although there are some typo of my job and address reference.Perhaps because of the miscommunications among 2 parties, Homelet refused to do reference check for me as they have not yet got the approval from Hunters. With numerous e mail I requested Hunters to fix it, Homelet started sending e mails to my manager and current landlord for reference check on 15th Aug.On 17th Aug, Hunters staff asked me to pay 6-month upfront rent and deposit by e mail without sending me the lodger agreement. I promised them to make the payment when they send me the contract and contract is signed.On 25th Aug, I received the lodger agreement finally after several requests. I raised some questions in the e mail in order to shorten the time for them to answer me during our future meeting of contract signing.On 6th Sep, another Hunters staff invited me to go to their office and sign the contract on the following day. I gave her my questions again for her better preparation. On 7th Sep, that staff said meeting date had to be changed. She answered my questions very briefly. Perhaps she is not familiar with the letting issues of the flat, I simply said I will ask others when I move in. I tried to ask when we meet and sign the contract. She did not reply.On 8th Sep, another Hunters staff told me that the landlord decided to accept another offer. The studio is no longer available in the market. He asked me to state my bank details and they will refund the holding deposit. I once thought the landlord must keep bidding for a higher rental price.I must move out before 23rd Sep as official move out notice was given to the current landlord. During resume of finding rental place, I found the flat in Zoopla again with rental price unchanged.Later I found the staff of the landlord and told the landlord what’s really happening. The landlord felt so sorry & decided to give me viewings of 3 other studios. However, the size and location do not suit my need.

GoogleUseless staff, we viewed a property to rent, we were told they would contact us which they didn't for 2 days, then when we rang they said they would contact the landlady to then have no call back. We've rang nearly a week later to be told we can't afford the property which to be honest they don't know because they haven't asked for any paperwork. I would not recommend hunters to sell your house or even rent out your property. May well be our faces they didn't like but just very bad customer service!!!
“Dear Shane & Francesca In reply to the two reviews that you have left, we regret that you were not satisfied with the outcome of your recent rental enquiry. As we discussed, the final decisions will always be made by our Landlords and unfortunately there are not enough rental properties on the market to satisfy current demand. We are sorry we were unable to assist you on this occasion . Kindest regards.

GoogleAt first myself and my wife thought this was a good local estate agents. Polite on the phone, on time for viewing and look very respectful. However we viewed a rental property and made an offer on it, all seemed well and was told we would be informed of the decision later on that afternoon. No call or email followed. I later made the call to get an update and I was informed the offer was too low and Hunters gave myself the new asking rental price which I accepted. Once again I was told I would be updated again soon. 4 days passed with no call or email, so once again I make the call only to be told the new offer (given to me by Hunters) is too low and the property has been offered to someone else because the agent feels we couldn't afford it. No paperwork had been submitted to the agent, so this was made on a assumption. I could quite comfortably pay a year up front but I was given No options!!!! Terrible service!!! (Jake)

TrustpilotRude and unprofessional
I had a viewing arranged and nobody could give me a meeting point for a large apartment building with several entrances. Spent nearly 20 minutes at the location wondering around and trying to reach the person that was supposed to show me around, all calls declined. Office couldn’t get through to her either and when she finally calls me is to rudely tell me off for not showing up at a different entrance when she never told me where to go, speaking to me in an angry tone and then hanging up.

TrustpilotWe have taken our flat off the market…
We have taken our flat off the market following 2 failures by the agents in Filey. All seemed well to start with,enthusiastic staff produced good pictures etc. We had a viewing, a few days later we had the good news that the lady was to purchase. 3 weeks later, we were informed that she was indeed NOT buying our flat, but another in our block, still not sure where the responsibility for this lies. The second occasion, we had a second viewing from a few months ago, so were really excited. 5 minutes after the appointment we were informed the gentleman didn't even have his property on the market !! Apparently, we should have stipulated we only wanted people who are in a position to proceed. Never have we heard such stupidity, thought agents sold properties !!??

GoogleI recently purchased a property through this estate agent. Jake kept me informed throughout the process by phone and email, he kept in close contact with estate agents and solicitors in our long chain. Because of this he was able to update me throughout the process (he was the only one that did) I am grateful to him for all his hard work.

TrustpilotElecting Not to Evict Violent Tenant which Assaulted Another Tenant with a Knife
I am compelled to write this review to express my deep concern and disappointment with the lack of action taken by Hunters in response to a serious safety incident within one of their managed properties.Recently, I was assaulted by one of their tenants who not only brandished a knife but also forcibly entered my apartment and injured my cat. This shocking and dangerous incident has left me and other residents in the building feeling vulnerable and fearful for our safety.Despite the severity of the situation, and their tenant pleading guilty to assaulting another tenant, the response from Hunters has been shockingly inadequate. Instead of promptly addressing the issue and taking steps to ensure the safety of all residents, the management has refused to evict the responsible tenant. This decision is not only a blatant disregard for the well-being of other residents but also a failure to uphold the basic standards of tenant safety and security.It is deeply disheartening to see a property management company neglect its responsibility to maintain a secure and peaceful living environment. The safety of tenants should be paramount, and it is unacceptable that Hunters is allowing such a threat to persist within the community.Prospective tenants, please be aware of the lack of security and prioritization of tenant safety at properties managed by Hunters. In the face of a serious security breach, the management's inaction speaks volumes about their commitment to the well-being of those who entrust them with their housing needs.I urge Hunters to reconsider their stance and take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of all residents in their managed properties.Michael Ryan

TrustpilotHad Hunters out to value my property…
Had Hunters out to value my property for sale but got really bad vibes from the valuer. Found them to be unprofessional so went with another agency (who were amazing)Unfortunately a property I liked was up with Hunters. Tried to negotiate a deal on the property but the communication through Hunters was not good. I don’t think it was the process rather the person handling it. When negotiating you would expect them to act as professional intermediaries however they were disinterested and as cold as a wet fish. I would have been better dealing directly with the homeowner and we may have been able to make a deal. I left my offer on the table but I have no idea if that was ever passed onto the homeowner. I’m sure there will be some great Hunters branches out there but I’ve not come across one yet. My heart sinks a bit now if I see a property up with Hunters. I just don’t want to deal with them ever for a purchase.Edit.We did end up buying a house through a Hunters branch. Although I did do the deal directly with the homeowner in the first instance we agreed on how to proceed and then we went to the agent. They were actually very good so I guess it’s pot luck which branch you use.

TrustpilotTotally disgusted
Totally disgusting practices. This company are selling a detached property next to my home. They say it’s impossible not to include a photograph of the full frontage of my house as well. I requested the photo be cropped or changed. For a few days I regained my privacy but again the original photo has returned and is all over the internet. They say they can’t show their clients garage without my house being in the picture. Absolute garbage as the garage is on the other side of the house being sold not next to my house!!! It’s obvious they are using my home to paint a picture of a nice residential road. It’s 100% possible to take a photo showing the house , driveway and garage of their clients property without including my home. Awful just awful.

TrustpilotMassive thanks to Hunters Brentford
Massive thanks to Hunters Brentford, especially Josh, Vic and Min Sharma who we’re always at the end of the phone to answer our queries and keep us sane through the minefield of selling our property. Josh was especially helpful with his excellent communication, he really owns his job 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks again to you all.

GoogleWe bought our new house in Tenterden from Hunters last month. Our experience with the Tenterden team was fantastic. They were extremely helpful and Ben always kept us well informed. We really appreciated all the chasing they did on our behalf to the solicitors which we felt made a huge difference to our move date. We love the new house!
Thank you for your 5* review and your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you and I wish you both all the best for the future in your new home. Kind regards, Laura and the team at Hunters.

TrustpilotIf I could give a negative score I would
S. YORKS. If I could give a negative score, I would. What an absolute bunch of useless w-----s. As a tenant we, get 6 monthly inspections, not a problem at all. The problem is, they hardly ever do the work needed & when they do, they employ the most r------d & incompetent person possible & the quality of the work is ALWAYS s--t. When you complain, they do nothing about it. For people using them as an agent: they are letting your properties deteriorate while charging you the earth.

GoogleHunters in Tenterden have recently completed the second property sale for me - and it has been a very professional experience from start to finish. Andrew and his team kept me fully informed at every step and were very proactive with good advice. I would strongly recommend Hunters Tenterden and I wish them every success in the future.

TrustpilotExcellent service from Shaheel Bucktowar
Someone recommended Hunters to sell our property, Shaheel Bucktowar was the agent who successfully sold it at the asking price and literally within 2 weeks!He gave good advice and listened to what we wanted.He communicated throughout and I was super happy with the whole service.I will definitely be recommending Hunters.
