Hunters Littleborough reviews

Hunters were fantastic from start to finish. With having dealings with more than a few agents professionally and personally over the years their service is of a different level. From the beginning their estimate was by far the most realistic, they kept me up to date throughout, helped move the sale along and kept any anxieties we had at bay. They know the market and how to get the best from your sale. Also nothing was too much trouble and there was always someone on the end of the phone or email if I had a question. The team are friendly and approachable and not in the slightest bit pretentious like a few of the other agencies (I will not name here) and the service you get here is a premium one you'd pay high money for, but at a competitive rate. I'm not one to sing praises unless it's genuine! but honestly these guys were just the best. I can't say how awesome they were and I wouldn't go anywhere else! Thank you! 🙂

This is the second time we have used hunters to sell a house and both times we have had a stress free and positive experience. The girls will make you feel at ease and keep you up to date every step of the way. We had a small time frame to sell our house and we put our trust in Hunters Littleborough to get our house on the market as quick as possible, which they did, with an offer accepted within four days of being advertised. If you are looking for a reliable and trustworthy company to sell your house then I wouldn’t chose anyone else in the area.

We both bought and sold through Hunters. A great team of professional estate agents who really put in the effort to attract viewers and show them round . The team regularly kept us in contact, liaising with buyer and both sets of solicitors at every stage. Definitely recommend them.

Hunters - Tring - useless

Given that the purpose of an estate agent is to bring sellers and buyers together, as a potential buyer I found Hunters service abysmal I tried to make a viewing appointment for a property they had for sale. They said they would phone or email me. Nothing. Tried again two days later. Person I spoke to seemed surprised at what had happened and said would get back to me. Nothing. Were I to be selling a property, I would not be using this estate agency. Perhaps they only do it as a hobby.

Money for nothing

Make no mistake they aren't worthy of even one star! This Hunters franchise (Sea Road Sunderland) and their so called MD Chris Kelly and his team failed to carry our property inspections and investigate complaints from neighbours in relation to the neglect and horrendous decline of my property over a three year period. We as landlords put our faith in the letting agent and trust they will do a good job in managing our properties. I'm now £7k down trying to repair the property to a good standard. The failure of this company to manage the property and the tenants has left me significantly disadvantaged. Mr Kelly has not responded to my many complaints and requests for compensation and has instead left the franchise, no doubt to make another fortune charging 15% off the back of other unsuspecting landlords! Hunters are a company well known and trusted in our area but be warned, these agents are hiding behind that brand and are able to operate without scrutiny or regulation!!

Hunters were fantastic from start to finish. They were so friendly and professional from the outset. The professional photography they used to list the property was second to none and really showed off the house to its best. The whole team were really proactive and we had lots of viewings which led to a sale within 2 weeks of going to market. Communication has been key throughout the entire sale process, we were always kept up to date and felt completely in the loop at all times. We would highly recommend Hunters if you're looking for a reliable and authentic estate agent. Thank you for making our move possible and getting us our dream home!

A reliable estate agent

Hunter Estate Agent provides exceptional service to its clients, and Bo Tsang exemplifies this with his outstanding dedication and professionalism. His commitment to excellence sets a high standard for customer service in the real estate industry. His attention to detail, prompt communication, and expertise make the selling or buying process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Hunter Estate Agent, especially Bo Tsang, for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient real estate experience.

Outstanding team at Hunters, Littleborough. We moved from London to Hollingworth Lake recently. Iona was great with the initial process and then Nicky took over with the progression to completion. It's never straightforward moving and we had the additional problems of buying a leasehold property which caused many problems for our solicitor in London. Nicky dealt with these issues and my constant phone calls and emails with professionalism, patience and care. When we finally collected the keys, the team also advised us on schools, dentists, doctors, even roofers! Great team effort from Hunters, Littleborough. Thank you all

Very bad customer service.

Very bad customer service. I requested for a viewing and the agent texted me over WhatsApp about the viewing times and said viewing can be done only on weekends and evenings. No other estate agents texted me over WhatsApp and others called me directly when I made a inquiry and even scheduled my viewing appointment according to my preference but this agency seemed not so interested in selling the property or whatever. Next thing when he finally had a suitable time for my viewing, I had to cancel the viewing because my car was in the garage and they said it was not ready for collection so I called the estate agent to inform him about it and this guy was so rude. He didnt even say bye and just hung up. Very disappointed.

UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISHONEST

Hunters Stevenage is extremely unprofessional and dishonest!I want to caution everyone considering them before handing over a deposit, as they will go to great lengths to keep your money.I had been renting for eight years prior to this, in various properties with different agents, and never encountered any issues with the return of my deposit.It's incredibly frustrating trying to get a response from them, even through email. Without a doubt, they are the worst estate agent I've ever had to deal with. I lived in a rented house through them for nearly two years but recently purchased my own place through Own Homes (which hasn't had any issues).Hunters is currently refusing to refund my deposit after two months, citing a small rip in the carpet near the radiator pipe and a crack in the bath. Both of these issues were present when I first moved in.They are taking an unreasonable stance and are also claiming an inability to communicate with the landlord for nearly a month. They're even using minor issues like mold on the bathroom sealant and three burnt-out light bulbs as reasons not to return my deposit.Furthermore, after two months, they are now trying to deduct money from my deposit, citing a weed issue in the front garden.Letting Manager sent me an email at 7:14 PM, and immediately after that, I went to the house and took photos to document the situation. It's truly baffling how unreasonable they are being.I consistently paid the rent on time and took excellent care of the house while I was there, even installing a new shower. However, I'm currently facing issues retrieving my deposit, as I had to hire a cleaning company to restore the house to its original condition. This has been an ongoing process please be cautious when dealing with Hunters Stevenage!!!"

Awful experience

Awful experience. Poor repairs. Illegal eviction - should have been a section 8 as landlord was selling up and tried to use the deposit for renovating the property into a HMO. Hunters also charged the previous tenants for professional cleaning which we were told would be happening in the first week or so of moving in. It didn't. They then tried to charge us for the same service. Wonder how many customers they do this to. Also charging for items not on the property but given to a neighbor, and later thrown out by him on his own garden area q(he advised landlord and hunters it was his to get rid of). They have identified it as formerly mine from property inspection photos which legally should not be taken of my possessions. Con artists. Pending further action.

I can't praise the team at Hunters in Littleborough highly enough. During the sale of my property I dealt predominantly with Emma and Nicky, but the whole staff are friendly, polite and professional. The marketing material they produced in a very short timeframe was very impressive and viewings were arranged efficiently. Most importantly, communication was excellent and queries were dealt with promptly, meaning I felt in control of what can be a daunting process. Many thanks!

Total scammers!

Total scammers!! Do NOT recommend at all!! I rented with with them for 4 years, was okay at first then it gotten difficult to get things properly fixed, they left us without a fridge and freezer for over a year so I had to buy my own! They send out the same repair men that told me over and over again they could t properly fix various things as it needed updating and my landlord was refusing to update (handyman’s words not mine). We had a mice infestation that I had made them aware of but nothing was done and they ended up coming into the house eating through all my kids Easter eggs and our snacks and my sons make a wish documents amongst other important documents!! I had to pay for the infestation to be sorted, I have paperwork that states the things that needed doing to stop them and they didn’t do half of it!! There was insufficient loft insulation, single glazed windows and no wall insulation so it was beyond freezing unless I had the heating on constantly. They didn’t carpet or decorate in god knows how long!! I paid £2800 deposit to stay in this house!! They then said as I was pregnant there would be too many people living in the property so I said okay can I please have a rent statement to get onto the council and was told by corena she would email this to me but this went on for about 6 months and she then sends me an eviction notice instead so I said okay can I have the rent statement she still refused! A year later I get the rent statement.. then another eviction notice. Their reason was my landlords granddaughter had cancer and needed to sell up to pay for treatment (she knew one of my sons was a cancer survivor and she also knew my youngest son is fighting a brain tumour!) she used my personal circumstances as a tool against me. I tried so hard to move out quickly but eventually got a property with the council.She caused 2 years of horrifying mental breakdowns, I have adhd and so you can imagine the impact it had! She never done and entrance or exit inventory with me, she next done entrance or exit key handover so the crook covered her bases.!! This wasn’t her first rodeo!!I have been informed by neighbours of repairs etc carried out since I left the property and also about the new tennants living there so they never sold the property.Social services are trying to help get my deposit back, the so called deposit guarantee scheme said there was nothing they could do as it was never with them!! So I had a look on company’s house at them… I suggest if your considering renting from hunters you look on companies house at them too!! They are a bunch of scammers and they keep getting away with it!!They have now left us with absolutely nothing! I’m a single mum having to furnish and carpet a house with next to no money struggling to decide if my kids need a bed or food, carpets or gas, curtains or electric!! I was told a survey of dilapidation was being done and that turned out to not be true!! I have asked numerous times about my deposit and she doesn’t reply to nothing! She ignores everything. She has stolen £2800 from me and my children. I have 2 autistic children and 1 is a cancer survivor and 1 has a brain tumour I have a lot of worries already with them without this worry about loosing so much money that was needed to benefit my children. British Gas had to swap the meter as per the request from the ombudsmen and corena Harris told me I’d better put them back I have this and more in messages!! I said I can’t as that is breaking the law and she wasn’t happy at all.. the old meters didn’t work!! I can only hope people do not make the same mistake as myself and put their trust in these despicable people!! Have a look on companies house before considering renting from them!!£2800 is a lot of money for a single mum with 6 children and 3 of which are very poorly and one is fighting a brain tumour you ask yourself what kind of person does that!!

Took a day off work for a confirmed viewing, turned up, and was told they couldn’t show me round because they “didn’t have the keys.” You couldn’t make it up. Utterly shambolic, a complete waste of time and money. Shows a total lack of respect for people’s schedules. This lot are a joke of an agency, disorganised, unreliable, and downright careless. If they can’t manage something as basic as turning up prepared, they’ve no business calling themselves professionals. Steer well clear.

Hunters have been fantastic with our sale and purchase this year! From initial meeting and picture and the advert for our house for sale, so many viewings and negotiation of great price, helping us along the way with all the chain, even with some very tough times they were so supportive and kept things moving so we are finally in our new house ready to make it our forever home! Thank you Nicky, Sinead, Emma, Iona & Rachel! You all are fantastic!

Don't rent or buy with them

I was interested in 2 properties advertised on their website . I was informed that they were under offer , but were still being advertised and were happy to take further viewings , so much for making an offer with an expectation that they would take the property of the market . Once they discovered that I had a property to sell they weren't interested in allowing me to view it I explained that I was also looking to rent and had a property to view through them the following day ..( I wasn't sure whether to rent or buy ) they cancelled my rental viewing within an hour with no explanation Thoroughly unprofessional using underhand tactics . Why don't they just behave responsibly ..avoid

I have just bought a house where the seller's estate agent was Hunters. two items to note : 1. their pestering me to prove I had the funds via endless email demands, then when my solicitor raised one issue, total ignorance for 2 weeks. Not good. 2. I feel for the seller in that they totally missed off the presence of a very long private tree-lined driveway, and a full size totally convertable loft.

Hunters Baldock as letting agents…

Hunters Baldock were the letting agents for a recent rental. I found them rude and difficult to the point of enjoying the power they had over me as a nervous tenant in an expensive and competitive market. They piled on the reasons why I might not get my deposit back (which they still have not returned) were useless with actual sums and dates and generally unpleasant.

Gave the property I had put a holding deposit down on, to someone else.

I went to view a property and I put down an application straight after seeing it. I was aware that quite a few applications might have been put down and that we might not get it. However, a few days later I was phoned by the agent who said that the landlord didn’t originally pick us, but the people they did pick had not responded so he said if I want to put a holding deposit down that day that the place would be mine as the landlord had agreed to my friend and I renting the property instead. We put the deposit down right away and a few days later (today) I got an email saying that the original people had “resurfaced” and had signed forms and passed referencing etc and they were going to go with them instead. They then refunded my deposit. I had cancelled viewings and made plans surrounding moving into that place. They basically used us as backup even though we’d put a deposit down. The email wasn’t even apologetic. Terrible agency.

I'd recommend Hunters to anyone looking to buy or sell a house. I've used them a couple of times now and I've not known another estate agent do what they do. My experience with other agents is they sell/buy your property then get in touch on an as and when basis....not Nicky! Nicky had her eye on the process up at all stages, chasing other estate agents and solicitors in the chain regularly, making sure everyone outside of Hunters and my property were doing what they should be doing and when they should be doing. She really is a testament to the quality of service that Hunters provide! The rest of the team were amazing too. From the initial meeting with Emma to set up the listing for my house (the pictures are really high quality!) and explain the whole process, to poor Rachel and the (what felt like) 1000's of viewings she had to attend! And then Charlotte, Iona and Sinead. I think I spoke to every one in the shop several times over the course so it really was a team effort :)

I phoned up a interest in a property and got a private mobile number saying she worked for hunters, the next 2 days I bombarded with calls and 2 booked appointments. I politely asked to be left alone then a call literally 20 mins later and again the next day to see if I was attending a meeting with her and her husband on a Sunday. What is going on here if anyone can shed any light on this , I was so stressed out I blocked her. I wouldn't go to these if they were last estate agents left. Garbage

I emailed this useless company 3 times over a period of three weeks to inform them that one of their properties had a wildly overgrown hedge and garden that was making the locality look a mess, and also impeding foot and mobility scooter traffic on the pavement. They didn't bother to reply ,so I reported the mess to the city council and wished them good luck in ignoring their emails ! Hopefully the council will do the work and bill these clowns !
