TrustpilotPygott and crone
We used the Grimsby branch to purchase our new home. They are a great team. Explained each step of the way. Kept us updated during the process. I kept apologising for emailing them or phoning but they always said “don’t apologise “. We couldn’t have been treated any better. We would definitely recommend Pygott and Crone.

TrustpilotCome on guys , get your basic tenancy act together
It’s with great distress I write this review 3 members of my family rent a house at a cost of £1,250.00 per month , plus bills. They have lived there 1 year. They pay the most rent in the street even though all the house are pretty much a mirror image. It’s in Rainworth Okay so that’s not worth 1 star. What is worth a one star is the fact that my family were sleeping in a brand new build , never lived in until (until 1 year ago) and over the weekend the boiler was de-commissioned by British Gas as a danger to life. They were minutes away from either being gassed or blown up. Ironically the house had an annual inspection a few days before and it was deemed as ok. British Gas tell a whole different story. Weekend’s Friday Pm to Monday AM Nobody at the agency was available after hours. No emergency number was provided by them Closed over the weekend means just that That’s no hot water. No heating No cooking Plus THEY have to pay the bill as they were desperate to get the gas back on and called an emergency plumber. The call out alone was £400.00. To them it was worth it. They all have full time Customers Service Jobs. Which requires a shower minimum. ! If 3 young Adults in your family were living in a brand new build house with a faulty gas boiler that was marked as safe and you lost them due to this companies negligence, I wonder where they’d be and if they’d even have a consciousness ! I won’t recommend them to anyone ever and I definitely will try and move my family because who knows what the rest of the houses , built the same in the street are like. An apology to the 3 Tenants in the Property could just be a way of gaining some redemption. The main Gentleman dedicated to this type of issue at the Company hasn’t even called them yet of course we can’t mention his name because as we know you can remove negative reviews regardless of there being any truth Appalling On behalf of T Polak.

TrustpilotDisgusting and incompetent behaviour
If I could have put no stars or minus I would. I offered on a property full asking price but the agent wanted it Subject to viewing. Sent my aip across holly in boston confirmed vendor happy with the offer just need to view on return from holiday today at 4.30. Gets a call and email from a joe saying vendor accepted offer over weekend and therefore viewing cancelled. Also tries to tell me cant offer without viewing which being a senior conveyancer for 27 years i know is totally wrong. Many people offer not viewing and I had seen it outside offered straight away just unfortunate that flew out. Have email stating offer accepted by vendor to come back to this just an absolute joke. Funny tho as was messed about on a bungalow in quadring years ago tenanted but we were not advised also subsidence it was a joke and the vendors Conveyancers couldn't deal with the issues again misrepresented. This will certainly be taken further. Absolutely rubbish service and to not even know what another advisor in office had done is just totally and utterly incompetent . Trying to make out it's my fault for going on holiday but I would have given full asking price without the viewing, obviously not even advised to the vendor. Emails from Holly very clear as are Joe's so let's see the poop hit the fan now!!

TrustpilotABSOLUTE DISGRACE!
ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! We was due to view a property on Friday 05/07/2024 and this was confirmed via email on 29 July 2024. the property (land) was due to go to auction in 2 weeks. With viewing ready for Friday we have been emailed today saying that the property has been sold. The worst thing about this is that the person who is selling the land isn't aware that we was viewing on Friday therefore has accepted an offer, my questions to Pygott and Crone how has this fallen through your system? you have undervalued the land as we would of offered more than what you have sold it for! Its amazing also how the secure deposit has been paid same day! I await your phone call from the director!

Great Service. Stress free from start to finish. Charlene was a great help with all the paperwork and Tracy made sure our sale went through as smoothly as it possibly could. Would highly recommend.

TrustpilotOutstanding Estate Agents
We bought a property through Pygott & Crone Holbeach. As purchasers, we had an outstanding experience. We collaborated with Jade through viewing and offer stages and Tracy took us through the purchase process to completion. Their levels of customer service and care were outstanding, checking in with us regularly and following up with others, gently pushing things forward to ensure a smooth and speedy process through to completion. We have experienced many estate agents over the years and Pygott & Crone stood out in front of all the others for their professional, proactive and personal approach.

TrustpilotPoor Customer Service
Too many issues to list all of them, however, key ones includes: Never answering the phone despite calling on different days and at different times. Response to emails were typically longer than 24 hrs and in most cases 48 hrs. Lack of understanding of offer details I made by the Branch Manager! Incoherent final email from the Branch Manager to inform me another offer had been made that was accepted. This was not an auction property, I would have thought the agency would have given me the opportunity to increase my offer, no such luck. Will avoid contact in the future.

TrustpilotDo not engage with this company
Do not engage with this company, there is a £300.00 fee whether they sell or not, and as they take on everything they can, this is how their money is made!!After all the enthusiasm and "feelgood" of thier initial visit and instruction, it is almost impossible to get their attention. It began with every reason imaginable given why the "sales" team could not come around after the instruction, and they failed to arrange even one viewing from the eight they claimed to have matched to the property; ultimately the number of potential buyers they claimed to have was the reason for engageing with them. When we questioned them some time after instruction why it was that we had not had a viewing more excuses continued; every excuse from it wasn't what their clients were looking for, to it being too expensive! Based on this feedback we instructed them to return to the potential purchasors and offer it at £100,000.00 less. Having removed all the 'obstcals' there was still no response, and they became increasingly difficult to contact, to the point that we attempted to speak with four of their directors, none of whom were available. Ultimately we were told by a receptionist to stop contacting them. When we finally contacted Craig Stones, Branch Manager, he told us that he had to get his head together (?) and that he should never have taken the property on. We agreed to give 28 days notice, but discovered that they had ceased all marketing immidiately, and are now looking for £300.00 which they feel they are entitled to as it was in the contract. A contract goes two ways so off to Court it trots!! They had done nothing and stated to us that they should have never taken the instruction on. This is one fact that we are in agreement. Furthermore the fact that they are looking for payment for taking it on is not only ludicrous, but offensive. It was the highest valued property on their books and it was a clear case of P&Crone confusing ability with ambition as it was way beyond their capability to SELL a property. Save your time and money, put it on Rightmove yourself!

Horrific experience Pygott andCrone and KMRE. Do not buy any properties from them including Hindle House Nottingham. Very lengthy process, service provided was absolutely abysmal prioritising the seller.They give empty promises, ignored any issues but quick to grab money from you. They also hire a bunch of people to give themselves positive feedbackKMRE build terrible apartments with cheapest quality material but exorbitant price. 2 bedroom apartment for 250k?? What a scandalous developer bet they make 100k profit. Things go haywire numerous problems but they never reply

TrustpilotTerrible,worst company
It is with great regret that I must express my disappointment with the team at Pygott and crone and KMRE. From the moment of our first encounter, there was a lack of interest in responding to emails or addressing issues that arose. The cost of the 2 bedroom apartments outside London, which were priced at a staggering 250k, suggested that this organisation may prioritise profit and the developer over customer satisfaction.The customer service provided by this organisation was absolutely atrocious. Even when speaking with the manager about the numerous issues encountered, it seemed as though there was a complete lack of interest in resolving the situation. Zero communication, absolutely bunch of liars. It is simply unacceptable to treat customers in this manner, especially when such a significant investment is involved.The quality of the apartments is nothing short of terrible, with poor heat and noise insulation. It appears that there is no intention to rectify these issues, which is deeply concerning. It is disheartening to realise, in hindsight, that I should have researched the reviews of others before committing to such an unscrupulous bunch.I implore the organisation to reevaluate its priorities and invest in providing exceptional customer service. It is not only ethical but also essential for the long-term success of the organisation

TrustpilotWorse house selling company ever
Worse house selling company ever. Had mothers property for sale with them over 5 months now and not ONE single viewing. Quite clearly absolutely no marketing of this property. Just stuck on internet doing zero. Definitely use someone else but these frauds.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE THIS COMPANY
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY BUYER or SELLER. Horrendous experience from start to finish, i used the Nottingham branch. I am a first-time buyer and the whole experience has put me off altogether. i went to view a property in which I decided to put in an offer- this offer was the asking price. 4 days had passed, and after numerous amounts of phone calls I still wasn't clear as to whether the offer had been accepted or not, all i was told is the venders are very happy with the offer but need further details. At this point i had emailed numerous amounts of documents all proving i had the deposit, how the mortgage was being funded, evidence i was able to get the mortgage. Yet they continued to push for more documents bearing in mind the offer hadn’t even been accepted at this point. I would not be surprised if this company hadn't even made the owners aware of my offer in hope they were going to receive a higher one as it was all very odd. I was pushed into having what they described as ‘Free financial advice’ phone call. I agreed and she called me. She was extremely rude to me and very pushy when I told her numerous amounts of times I had already sorted out the mortgage side of things. She then went on to demand I sent over the evidence after I had told her 5 times I had a meeting later that afternoon with the bank manager so couldn’t in fact do anything until then. After a few days of waiting the guy i was dealing with assured me he would be in touch Friday, to let me know whether the offer had been accepted. It turns out he was on Annual leave so i had a call from the 'branch manager’ I am a 23 year old woman and I can honestly say I have never been spoken the way he spoke to me, he was very belittling and patronizing. I am absolutely disgusted with the way I was treated and I certainly will not be using this company again

TrustpilotExcellent service throughout
Excellent service throughout. We have found Pygott and Crone extremely good at marketing, advertising and communicating with ourselves. Pre sale all the way through to completion has been seemless. Particular thanks go to Fiona Hodgkiss for her expediency, clarity adn friendliness throguhout and Aiden Turner for his advice and photo skills whilst putting the brochure together.

TrustpilotBy far the worst experience I have had with any estate agent!
Inefficient and incompetent! These agents do not care about the customer they undervalued the property this was evident upon survey being completed. Failed to carry out the most basic checks causing the first sale to fall through literally at the completion stage! After 8 months they were still unable to facilitate a sale on the property despite being told its immaculate and marketing it as a featured property.Then having decided to withdraw the property from the market because of the awful service they provided I was told they will land me a £300 withdrawal fee.Greedy and disgusting I am surprised they are still in business!Shame I can’t give zero stars 1 seems too generous.

TrustpilotAs a buyer who has bought a house with…
As a buyer who has bought a house with them, Im only giving 1 star. Here are some of the reasons why:1. So greedy, they sometime dont even tell the seller when you've given a counter offer, but kept pushing you to give better offers.2. They would give you stupid reasons to push you accepting ridiculous prices, remember to do a lot of viewings with the others before dealing with them.3. They would help the seller to promise a lot of things, but they wont make sure that the seller actually fulfill any of them. When the seller failed to fulfill any of the promises, or even failed to fulfill the contract (leaving rubbish and mess and unwanted furniture behind, missing paperwork, promised work not done, etc.) Pygott & Crone dont care and will only say its not their job to make sure any of that. This is REALLY serious matter, and very immoral. They wouldnt even offer to contact the seller for you at the first place.If you are buying a house through them, BEWARE.

TrustpilotRoque estate agent!
In 2018, I placed an off-plan property with the Lincolnshire branch of Pygott and Crone.Whilst they found me a buyer, my own estate agent, who was meant to be acting for me, colluded with the buyer's solicitor MJP Solicitors of Norwich and developers Jackson & Jackson along with the buyer and basically stole the property from underneath me.This resulted in a loss of £14,000 deposit and an additional loss of £15,000 profit.Total loss was £29,000.The estate agent never even called ,me to offer an apologise or give an explanation. It's as if I never existed!I have all the evidence, so if any names mentioned in this review has an issue, I will back it up with substantial proof and evidence!This review will remain, as it is a reflection of the truth and corruption within the estate agents industry!

TrustpilotPygott and Crone
Pygott and Crone had my property on the market for 2 years. They failed to get many viewings and completely failed to market my property effectively. They only took 4 photos of the apartment for the brochure. I left the property with them only because they charge a fee to exit the contract with them. So I had to pay them for their total failure to sell my property. I would not go anywhere near them. They are the worst estate agents I have ever come across

TrustpilotSleaford branch.
Sleaford branch.We was buying a property in North Kyme, everything was in place - surveys, solicitors, we even cut our holiday short because it appeared that the move was progressing quicker than expected. However when we came back the move date repeatedly got pushed back and back. The man in this property would not get out of the house, he wanted contracts to exchange with no move dates. We repeatedly booked time off work for each suggested move date and then he’d push it back. Everyone in the chain was disappointed, and we have just been notified by our own agent that our buyers have pulled out. So we have lost a lot of money through this seller messing around. We then checked the north kyme property this morning to see he has taken it off, we checked with the agent and it appeared it was a mistake. So the man selling the house has not only put it back on the market but he has the nerve to put it up for an extra 20k! I would have thought that the estate agent would have more responsibility to the buyers, we have lost a lot of money because of this seller. I wouldn’t recommend this home, and I have lost faith in the agent for continuing to advertise properties like this.
Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
