GoogleRenting through masons was stressful from start to finish. When you put through to get an issue sorted you either get passed from pillar to post, or get an email chain that contradicts itself. I complained about damp issues, my walls were literally wet to the touch throughout, and was told it was most likely to do with growth on the outside if the building and then when I chased it up it was as if they were receiving my complaint for the first time. Upon all inspections this issue was raised and nothing was done about it until about 2 months before the one year tenancy ended. It took them 4 months to properly arrange someone to come and fix my boiler that had a warning sticker on it, even though the man who put that sticker there rang them on the same day. They’re lucky I didn’t report them. There were a number of other issues, our last inspection said that the smoke alarm needed new batteries. The next thing I know they’re calling me to arrange to drop off an entirely new smoke alarm as they said they thought it was broken. When I told them I was told it just needed new batteries, I go no response. Bad communication in the office and between office and inspectors, and passive aggressive, in officiant staff. 🙃

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all tenant concerns seriously and would like to address the points you've raised.
Regarding the damp issues, we arranged a comprehensive damp and mould survey during your tenancy. The surveyor's assessment indicated that the condensation was primarily lifestyle-related, and we provided guidance on ventilation and prevention measures. As a goodwill gesture, we also installed an additional bathroom extractor fan to assist with moisture control, something that had not been necessary in previous tenancies at this property.
Concerning the boiler, we acted promptly once we were made aware of the gas safety notice. Our records show the letter was brought to our attention two weeks after the initial visit. We immediately instructed Gas Solve to investigate, and they attended, quoted, and replaced the flue without delay. We take gas safety extremely seriously and responded appropriately as soon as the issue was formally reported to us.
The smoke alarm was replaced with a new sealed 10-year battery unit as it was approaching its expiry date, which represented an upgrade from the existing unit.
We always strive to provide clear communication and prompt service. We're sorry your experience didn't meet your expectations, and we welcome you to contact us directly if you'd like to discuss any of these matters further.

GoogleA fantastic experience dealing with Violet. We were in a chain together which eventually completed last week (with lots of delays below). I was the agent in the middle of this chain trying to keep everyone together and Violet was a breath of fresh air and so professional. I would love to work with her again if one of my vendors decides to buy in this area. Great 5 * service, well done and keep up the good work!

It's great to hear how Violet helped navigate the chain's challenges. Her ability to maintain professionalism under pressure is just one of her many skills. She also spoke very highly of you too, so well done both on working so hard to achieve your respective client's chains. 5 star dream team!

GoogleI would like to express my gratitude to the entire team at Mason’s for their assistance in selling my mum’s house. I especially want to thank Violet, who has been there to help and guide us every step of the way. She was exceptional in following up with solicitors and answering all of our questions. The sale of our mums property was very unexpected and it was a difficult sale for us to process, however Violet really made the entire process seamless. Thank you :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that Violet was able to make the sale of your mum's house as smooth as possible during such a difficult time. We truly appreciate your trust in us and your lovely feedback which acknowledges how much we really do try to progress the sale for our clients. It has been a pleasure to help. If you or anyone you know needs assistance with buying or selling a property, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are always here to help.

GoogleIt's a shame we are having to leave this review, considering Masons had come recommended. Unfortunately, we don't feel we had the best experience working with Masons and as this was not resolved by the managing director, we are keen to share our experience with others.
Be prepared to do your own viewings as it's often the case that an agent will not be available. In our case, it would have meant that viewers would wait nearly a week if we had waited for an agent to do the viewing. When we were initially signing up with Masons, we explained we wanted a quick sale as we had already seen a property we wanted to buy. It was unfortunate that Masons were unable to accommodate any of our viewings as the viewers often wanted to see our house with a quick turnaround. This probably won't be an issue for others if you are not in a rush like we were.
Communication was hit and miss throughout the process, but the communication completely deteriorated once we had raised our concerns with the managing director. Replies to our emails took multiple weeks, on one occasion waiting over 3 weeks, with numerous occasions of us having to chase for a reply. It's disappointing that our concerns weren't ever really acknowledged or ever resolved.
Throughout the buying/selling process we were fortunate enough to have had the direct phone number of our buyers and the sellers, otherwise, the sale most definitely would have fallen through due to a specific deadline that had to be met. Jess is a credit to the team and her communication was great, however when she wasn't in the office that was when the issues happened.
We definitely won't be using Masons again and certainly won't be recommending their service to others.
Update following response from Masons:
- We asked Sam upon our initial meeting for Masons to complete all viewings. It was due to the lack of availability that we had to complete the viewings ourselves.
- I appreciate it may have been a busy period, but if you can't provide a service to a satisfactory standard, you shouldn't take on so much work.
- We were in no rush to complete and it took roughly 4 months in total from offer to completion, which is around average from what we are aware.
- In regards to the portal, we have been told multiple excuses as to why this was not used, none of which correlate with one another.
- I appreciate you make take all complaints seriously, but clearly not seriously enough. I had to chase on 3 separate occasions for a reply regarding our complaint, and each time we received excuses or shoulder shrugs regarding our concerns and still no resolution.

So sorry to read your review for your house sale that completed back in the summer. I spoke with the team to try and understand why you felt you didn’t have the best experience. It’s vital to us to learn from feedback, so thank you for the opportunity to look at the detail and explain with clarity for the benefit of everyone reading this.
As a rule, the Masons sales team carry out viewings on behalf of our clients. Most clients prefer the opportunity to keep a professional distance between themselves and potential buyers and this allows us to achieve the best possible outcome from the sale. It also avoids any issues as viewers can freely ask any questions about the property without fear of upsetting the owner.
Regarding timings, this summer was one of the busiest on record with huge numbers of property sales going through, many achieving over the asking price for our clients. As a sales team of 7 often working late and on Saturdays, we do our utmost to meet demand especially if requested at the time of taking instruction. We’re sorry you felt disappointed. We understood that you and your partner asked to carry out the viewings yourselves. Perhaps this was due to the speed you needed to complete?
We really do try to keep everyone updated at all times with use of our online portal, but with it’s not always possible to keep everything in real time and we can only apologise for any frustration this caused. In terms of the response time to your emails to/from our MD, naturally, we take all complaints extremely seriously. When a complaint is made, it needs thorough investigation before a considered response is made.
Thank you so much for acknowledging the positive role Jess played in your successful sale and we’re delighted you were able to complete to meet your deadline and wish you every happiness in your new home.
Finally, it’s concerning to us that you’re still feeling upset and so I would urge you get in touch with me directly at your earliest convenience.
Sarah, Marketing

We are sorry to hear you have had a frustrating experience trying to arrange a viewing, however, having thoroughly checked with both our Sales and Lettings teams, we are unable to locate any calls, emails, or enquiries linked to your details.
We would genuinely welcome the opportunity to resolved this for you, so could you please share details of which property you were enquiring about, who you spoke to and the email address you have used as we have no records our side. Perhaps you could forward your sent email to sales@masonsandpartners.co.uk or lettings@masonsandpartners.co.uk so the relevant team can assist you. We look forward to being able to resolve this for you.

Googlefound a house we liked originally landlord went with another applicant but it feel through so asked us and we accepted and landlord agreed. got to references but then the landlord pulled out.
but i can not fault the team at mason one bit.
from olivia showing us around who was extremely nice and gave us all the information we needed to know and was happy to answer any question 10/10
and wendy who did everything she could to help us with contacting the landlord and fighting out corner only spoke to wendy once on the phone but she was so so nice also and she sounded as gutted as we was but like i said the team at mason are amazing they really do go the extra mile for you and will make sure you are happy with everything before proceeding the referencing application is also so easy and straightforward and you be updated on every step. i will definitely used masons again in the future if i needed too. 10/10 for both olivia and wendy
eventually did find our new home via a different agent. but thank you masons for everything yous did for us we appreciate it.

Tony, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a kind and thoughtful 5-star review. We are all touched by your words, especially the Lettings and Management Team.
It’s a real shame the property didn’t work out; Liv and Wendy tried their best to find the perfect home for you, so it’s great to hear that despite not succeeding, you appreciated both their efforts and the ease of our referencing application process. We try to make it as seamless as possible.
Thanks for your understanding and your willingness to come to Masons again in the future if the need arises. For now though, we'd like to wish you all every happiness in your new home. So glad you found somewhere.
Thank you again for your wonderful feedback. We appreciate it.

GoogleAbsolute time wasters.
I shan’t be looking to buy through them anymore.
I live in Derbyshire and had arranged a viewing on a property in Burwell, I received a call to say that an offer had been made but that I was welcome to view and if I liked it submit an offer. I telephoned before I left to make sure the seller was accepting offers otherwise I wouldn’t waste my time or money on a 4 hour round trip (after work) for nothing. I was assured the seller was accepting other offers.
I arrived and viewed the house and submitted an offer. Today I was informed that the seller wanted to remain ‘loyal’ to the people that made the first offer.
I rang to ask this! You have absolutely wasted my time and now I will have to remain loyal to my principles and not look at properties that are for sale with masons.
Just a word of advice as you don’t seem to be too good at it……. Cancel all viewings and take the house off the market when an offer is accepted.
I can absolutely accept being outbid but wasting my time really irks me.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your recent experience with us concerning the property in Burwell. We are sorry that you feel your time was wasted and that you are disappointed with how the situation was handled by our Sales team.
We appreciate your frustration regarding the offer situation and the time and effort involved in traveling from Derbyshire to view. We rang in advance to explain that the vendors had received an offer from a previously interested party, but as we hadn’t received proof of funding at that point, they had not at that point accepted. We explained that you were still able to view and put forward an offer. You decided to proceed.
We always aim to provide clear and accurate information to all our potential buyers, and feel very sorry if you felt there was any miscommunication or misunderstanding regarding the seller's position and the opportunity to view.
Naturally, we were delighted to carry out the viewing, dedicating time for you and taking further time to put your offer forward to the vendors. Despite this, ultimately it is our vendor’s prerogative to decide whom they wish to go with and this isn’t something we are able to influence in your favour.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the process of managing viewings after an offer has been made and constantly look for ways to improve our service. We will take your comments into consideration as we review our procedures.
It’s such a shame that you have decided against considering any of our properties as we have some superb options on the market for anyone looking to relocate to the Louth area on any budget. Please know we value all potential buyers and strive to ensure a positive experience, even in situations where a sale does not proceed.
We hope you find the right property soon and wish you all the very best in your search. Please don’t hesitate to get back in touch if you feel that we can help further.

Agent replied · 13 June 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Mac. We understand how frustrating it can be when an offer isn't accepted. However, we are legally and ethically obliged to follow our client's instructions. In this case, our client has been clear on what they are looking for in terms of selling price. They have had a lot of interest in the property and specifically directed us not to present offers below the current asking price. Professionalism is key to our business and that includes clearly communicating their position to potential buyers. We listen to our client’s instructions and openly share what they say transparently with potential buyers like yourself. We felt we did communicate this to you at the time. If you do wish to make another offer in line with our client’s instructions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We wish you every success in your property search.
