We have just commenced a tenancy at a property managed by Simon Clarke. The team have been absolutely fantastic throughout the process. The communication, in particular, has been excellent and the standard of the pre-commencement tenancy works hugely exceeded our expectations. We would like to thank Marco Caimi for all of his help along the way and would highly recommend Simon Clarke to anybody seeking a trustworthy and efficient letting agent.

On the day to day, I had no issue with Simon Clarke or any of their staff members. Once it came to the mid term review, I was however requested by the landlord to pay for replacements to the en suite bathroom ceiling for damages that were included in the start of term inspection. This would not be the only time I would be asked to pay for charges which are clearly stated on the independent report as strictly NOT my responsibility. When it came to the end of my term, there were a few damages to the property which I was happy to pay for, but again, I was requested to fork out cash to pay for scuff marks which are listed as FWT (Fair Wear and Tear on the inspection report). Once I pointed out to James that this was the case, he again retracted the landlord's request. However, after myself and the landlord had agreed to the charges I would pay, the DAY BEFORE the deposit return deadline (day 9) I was told there were now additional charges the landlord wanted to bring forward. Damages to the bathroom door which were listed as FWT on the checkout report. However, at this point, James was not willing to accept this and pushed for me to agree to the charges - giving no sympathy to my financial circumstance, nor the fact that THEIR independent report disagreed with him. It's worth noting at this point, that there had been damages to the ventilator fan within the en suite which these damages were being blamed on. However, this issue was never fixed even though the estate agents were aware of this issue for 5.5 months. So, despite being knowledgeable of issues with the ventilator fan, the damage being listed as FWT on the independent report, and the landlord ALREADY AGREEING to a previous amount, I was told I now owed more. I urge anyone who runs into this issue to file a formal complaint with TDS - when I did these charges were MAGICALLY dropped. I assume James and the landlord realised they didn't have a leg to stand on if it came to an official investigation. If you like a fair deposit process, go somewhere else, James and Simon Clarke are not the ones for you.

Dear Sam, Thank-you for taking the time you leave a review on your experience. We are sorry for your experience and It is of course disappointing that the Landlords instructions have reflected negatively on our company. Often we are delivering a Landlords instructions. The arbitration process of the TDS is here to support any claims from the Landlord to conclude them in a fair manner. We are pleased that this has proved to work successfully. We wish you all the best moving forward and once again apologies for your experience.

We used Simon Clarke letting agents very recently when finding our new home (February 2024). Rishi Patel was a delight to deal with, so friendly and helpful and always with a smile on his face. We could not ask for more care or professionalism. Great assistance every step of the way.

We have been renting a property let by Simon Clarke for over 2 years now. Some issues have taken a while to fix/be addressed, but usually we get a very speedy response and resolution. Maintenance issues are frequently fixed within 24-48 hours which is excellent.

I had a great experience with Simon Clarke Agency and especially Chris, who helped us find a flat very quickly, as we were struggling with the current market and other agencies to find what we wanted. He is very dedicated to his work, listened to our requirements, and found us exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Chris!

I have been working with Tony for years. He combines professionalism with genuine care, ensuring that both tenants and property owners feel valued. His attention to detail and proactive communication made the lettings process seamless and stress-free. Tony's extensive knowledge of the market is second to none. If you're looking for a dedicated and trustworthy lettings expert, Tony is the person to call.

I recently completed on a rental with Simon Clarke. I found the whole process of booking the viewing, negotiation, rental checks and moving in extremely smooth. A notable mention to my contact Marco Caimi who excelled in his role in getting the rental signed. Marco was a pleasure to work with and his expertise in this area made the experience of moving quite relaxing. Marco and the team at Simon Clarke well deserve the five star rating

My dealings with Lettings Team has been exceptional. Tony and his team worked tirelessly to try and let the property and gave honest and practical advice on marketing and renovating the property. He made sure he communicated updates regularly by phone ;this meant a lot with me being an overseas landlord. Appreciate their hard work ! Thankyou

Had a great experience with Simon Clarke recently and with their Agent, Rishi. What I really admired about Rishi was his honesty, transparency and understanding for our situation. In the end, we did not rent a place thru them but I feel the level of service Rishi provided would have continued thru out the tenancy!

Simon Clarke really helped us when we needed it the most. As newly comers to the UK we didn't know what to expect (and had already had some not-so-bright experience with other agencies) but Marco was so helpful and respondent we highly recommend his services. Also, kudos to James from SC's property management department who reacts speedily to any requests. Keep up the good work!
