Me and my partner went through newmans to rent a property, they were not helpful we had to call them all the time to see how our application was going, a woman who worked there was rude to me over the phone all because I called as we never got informed about anything. Happy to say we did not continue with newmans and even the landlord we were going to rent from has ended using them as they Didn't even bother telling her we were no longer going through with the move (she found out 3weeks later as she contacted us) DO NOT GO TO NEWMANS Moving by itself is stressy and looking for a place to rent/buy is too but the estate agents are the ones that are meant to help you through it...Newmans will not.

Was a tenant for more than two years with prompt rent and the place was returned in better condition than i moved in. Newmans tried to abstract some of my deposit due to a water stain which was caused by a leak. This was disappointing as apart from that I was happy with them (even though the place i rented was meant to have parking when in actual fact it didn't.) Thanks to the deposit scheme my monies was returned minus more charges/fee's from newmans. Play it fair newmans and its a 5 star.

Completely worthless agency

Completely worthless agency! Lots of issues during my renting period with this agency. Didn't manage to do a proper check in but when I left the property they manage to do a proper check out and ask me a lot of money because it was in the original state! They didn't read the contract and it was never mentioned the property was in the very good state - actually it was not and we had taken pictures to prove this. This agency is just managing to take your money and we ask for solving the problem they are very rude and never been helpful. One episode was hilarious when they lost the cheque and they ask us to contact the bank. They promise us £50 compensation and obviously we've never seen the money, even if we asked lots of time to have this back! Well, to avoid as much as you can - or take a lot of pictures and never trust them!

Very unprofessional service. Preparing to move, we gave them a key of the house as they complained they were loosing clients because of us (we have a normal work schedule so when they were asking us to be at home at 10.00am or 2.00pm during week days to let people in we would say no - because we were at work). We asked only to be informed when they had visits scheduled so we could prepare the rooms. Not once did they do that and more than that, we had to change the lock upon leaving as an agent broke a key in the lock trying to enter and blocked the front door (we had to use the back door for entering the house). Of course they denied doing anything wrong...

I've dealt with Brendan and the team on numerous occasions through purchase and lettings and have always found them to be efficient, courteous and experts in their area.

My wife and I have recently gone through the unpleasant experience of buying a property in Leamington Spa. With both of us working full time, and also on a Saturday morning, we were dismayed to find that nearly all of the estate agents in Leamington (and Warwick) closed at the very time that we were available to talk to them, particularly as we have a 120 mile round trip to get to Leamington. As ‘cash’ buyers with no chain we were horrified to find that this was the rule rather than the exception. How pleased we were when we found, by chance, that Newmans in Leamington actually opened on a Saturday afternoon and appeared to want to help us. We identified a number of properties that we would like to view as well as several others with other estate agents. Again we were very disappointed that 1. They were not prepared to do viewings outside of their ‘convenient’ (sic) hours 2. Were totally disinterested in the fact that we had no chain and were basically cash buyers 3. When we asked how could people in full-time employment buy a property when as soon we were available to see any the Estate Agents quickly shut up shop the only answer we got was ‘Why not take holiday to come across....’ We had the experience of Tom in the Leamington office of Newmans. He was the complete opposite of this! Not only did he work on a Saturday afternoon but it appeared to us that all he wanted to do was help us rather than hinder us in our search. I can honestly say that he was the only person from any estate agent ( we had no dealings with other people at Newmans...) there that we dealt with who actually understood that it was about selling properties to customers, and how to go about it! Having decided to buy a property through Newmans, not a difficult decision when the other properties we were interested in had no estate agent interested enough to put themselves out for us for extra viewings etc., Tom then had the audacity to actually keep us meaningfully informed of progress, expedited some important matters on our behalf and ensured that the whole process was relatively stress free and pleasant. Our thanks on to Tom in the Leamington office for his help, support and work in our purchase. It’s a credit to Newmans as well, as amongst some appalling estate agents in the area, your Leamington office seems to actually have their customers in mind when they try and sell properties.

Extremely poor customer service. I will not recommend using their service. Poppy Wilkens -Letting agent was extremely rude and lacked professionalism. I requested her to wait for 10 minutes as my meeting aligned simultaneously. She was not ready to wait (according to her, she would waste her time) or provide me another time slot.

Newmans run a shameful practice. They left us with a broken boiler for 6 months and severely damp house for 4 months which led to extensive property damage. They only care about the rogue landlords they serve, don’t expect much as a tenant. …

I was a tenant with Newman for 2 years and had no issues with them. The property was well looked after when we did the viewing and clean to an acceptabled level, similar to when we moved in (I don't believe a professional …

These estate agents deal in bad faith . They do not seem to understand the concept of business ethics. If you make an offer and accept be vary wary as there is a high chance that they will change the terms of the offer as they did with me . Do not be honest with these people as they take advantage of it and "milk" you.

Newmans found me a tenant for a house in Leamington Spa. The tenant was not working and had 2 county county judgements against her. Newmans did not inform me that the tenant they had found me was not working and that she had 2 county court …

I contacted them about a property whose listing stated "email enquiries only". Never received a response but the property is still being listed.

Avoid. Horrible company to deal with. Had several issues at the property and been reported few times - but never sorted. On leaving property - got charged nearly nearly £100 for cleaning services (property was left spotless) and another nearly £100 for moving out. Then they wouldn't give reference to another company unless you pay them. Never again. Avoid.

I received a letter from Newman sales and lettings today that had had no postage paid. I had to go to the post office to go an pay for the postage myself. I've had no dealing with this company other than this so effectively i just paid for my own junk mail.

As a purchaser, my experience with Brendan at Newman's has been exceptional. He is very professional, knowledgeable and personable and has responded quickly to my interest and queries. I am very appreciative of all his help with securing me a lovely property.

Brendan at Newman's was always very organised, professional and accomodating from start to finish. Never had to chase, did what was promised and enabled us to complete very quickly (6 weeks). Would highly recommend as trustworthy and professional.

I have just sold my house through Newman property experts. They got me an over the asking price offer within a week of putting it on the market and have been very proactive in chasing up the sales chain.
