Rendells Newton Abbot reviews

AVOID AVOID AVOID

We hired Clive at Rendell's (Newton Abbot) to do a valuation on a property for us and we were extremely disappointed with the service provided. The valuation significantly undervalued my property both in its current condition and after the proposed refurbishment, yet when I asked for the evidence and methodology behind the figures, I was repeatedly told there were 'no comparable evidence' and he refused to explain how he got the figure, most likely because he plucked one out of thin air.

The Newton Abbot Branch have been fantastic from start to finish with our house sale. Jonathan particularly was always professional, willing and went above and beyond to get our sale completed and also assisted greatly with our purchase. Nothing was too much to ask and we would not of been able to achieve this had Rendells not done their upmost to help us get things sorted. Even with a complex long sale, their attitude remained positive throughout. Thank you!!!

Recently completed our house sale with Jonathan and the team at Rendells Newton Abbot. They have been amazing every step of the way!

Phoned the newton abbot office and spoke to a woman. I was interested to get my property valued. She wasn’t that helpful but took my number and said a man would contact me from the office who deals with sales. Never heard from anyone again. I therefore wouldn’t use this estate agent as they could easily miss a sale. Suggest when you telephone the office, you have a better system in place for taking messages and getting back to potential customers.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with the Newton Abbot office was extremely disappointing.

Absolutely zero communication after expressing interest in a property, despite chasing several times..politely. Thankfully, I wasn't in a rush or desperate unlike most people unfortunately are. Assured I would be called back/contacted, which had been to no avail. Wouldn't approach them again, if god forbid, I did find myself in a desperate situation.

Appaling service and attitude. This review mirrors another listed here in so far as the prejudice attitude of Martyn Halls et al is far from savory. We were moving to the area due to work … More

Do not use this company they clearly discriminate!! I am a single father who works full time and am looking for a long term home for my two sons and myself.I found the perfect property with Rendells and immediately called for a viewing.Unfortunately the only appointments they had were on Monday while I was at work so would be unable to attend.I drove to the property on Saturday and looked around the outside,this along with the pictures showing the clean well maintained property made me decide to put down a deposit. I drove to Rendells office and spoke with Martyn (lettings manager) and said I would like to put down a deposit to hold the property and when all relevant checks had been done would pay six months rent in advance.He refused and said I would have to view the property.I explained I would be working and by viewing the outside along with their photos I would be happy to proceed.Again he refused. The only deduction I can make is that given my willingness to not only pay a deposit but also six months rent in advance,is that he has clearly discriminated against me.This may be because I am a single parent or because I have two mixed race children but the outcome is the same,I have been refused a chance to even attempt to gain the property.To further add weight to my claim I have read Rendells terms,and a holding deposit is required to hold a property but there is no mention of having to view said property. I find it inexcusable that a well established company such as Rendells would employ a person who will blatantly discriminate against anybody they see fit,not to mention the client who's property I was going to rent long term with an initial payment of six months rent in advance. A very disappointing experience from a well established company who should know better.

Useless. They manage properties that are not up to standard and don't give an absolute jot. Pony & trap come to mind.

Update following owners response. If they had actually checked the surname, they would have found a local property being rented. I never said there was one in my name specifically. …

From start to finish the service has been exceptional, they went above and beyond to move me in at the start of the tenancy as I needed to move very quickly. I have just moved out after 18 months, and while I did leave the property very clean and tidy, this was acknowledged, and my deposit was refunded within 24 hours.

Rendells have been helping me sell my home. I have found them all to be friendly and extremely helpful. They have made the whole process simple and straight forward and put my mind at rest. I have already recommended them to friends.

Worth the effort

I found their information really hard to find and when i phoned for more information, the person on the phone was very curt as well. However, they do have some little gems on their books that you don't see on the property sites so worthwhile digging through.

Managed my property for the past two years, the property has been handed back to me in the same condition I left it in. Excellant service and I will definitely use Rendells again to let my property.
