There survey report was rubbish and full of assumptions rather than facts. Since moving into the property we have serious issues which should have been reported.There lack of response speaks volumes.I have a brain tumour and advised not to get into stressfull situations alas they have made my heath worse. I have complained to RICS and I suggest others do the same.

Trustpilot9 months and counting with leaking shower
Waited and still waiting for 9 months now for a leaking shower to be fixed. Currently had approx 5 different plumbers “try” to fix it with no joy. Had to fight for about the same time to get hold of our landlords to make them away of how they are wasting their money paying these people to “manage” their property. We have actually started fixing other problems ourselves.

TrustpilotThe worse service ever!!!
I never have received such bad services ever! I have terminated my tenancy contract on May 14 and now is June 19th and they still didn't hear back from them!!! I have sent 8 emails in total and so far I get an automatic email! this is acceptable and I have already reach out to Justice for tenance to help to terminate the contract!

TrustpilotUNPROFESSIONAL and UNETHICAL
I’m currently renting from them and they’re all about business and could care less about me once they have bond you to a contract. They did not contact me during or after the pandemic. If they can find a loophole to charge fees, delay repairs or evict you when you are the most vulnerable they will try. We just received notice to leave.

Connells massively undervalued my property. I appealed this with comparables and evidence but they wouldn’t re look at it. I am now looking at taking legal action against them. They can provide no evidence of how they came up with that valuation. Do not have them value your property, I never write reviews good or bad but this company are incompetent.

TrustpilotRude and awkward
If I could give this company less than one star I would.Rude awkward surveyor came around and made it painstakingly obvious he was doing to do his best to get my buyers mortgage declined based on a slightly higher than average service charge (it’s a grade listed building with great amenities) ... and succeeded.If anyone from NatWest is reading... chuck these guys ASAP!
5/5
TrustpilotHonest state agents
Connells is a very well stablished estate agents... every one knows about that.Obviously, they are a business: they need to sell your house, help you to rent it out, etc., so they are more than willing to do business (a bit pushy sometimes), but overall, the professionalism is top notch, at least in my personal experience, from the sales manager to the mortgage broker and everyone involved.

TrustpilotOne star it s way to much for them
One star it s way to much for them. As a tenant i ve waited 2 and a half months for a sink tap replacement and a window repair. Now, my boiler is faulty and i have already 2 weeks waiting. Outside are - 7°C.Worst agency ever ever.

TrustpilotThese guys are waste of time
These guys are waste of time. Hardly spend 2 mins in your house and god know what makes wrk think that your house is almost 50k less than the actual value of your house. They simply don’t do any home work. At first I was proposed a desktop valuation so you can think how lazy are they. Don’t waste your time with these guys.

TrustpilotCustomer Feedback
Hi StephanieI just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help with the sale of my parents’ house in Horley. The support we received from Connells was excellent from start to finish, and without your help, it is highly likely that the sale would have fallen through on a number of occasions. I would happily recommend your services to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Cannot believe how poor this business is.Not one call returned, not one call made.They were tasked with getting a valuation.Then stopped.5-10 phone calls later and missed promises, deadlines, etc.Waste of time - buyer beware.Still wasting my time with them - yes, they still say they will call you - they don't.

TrustpilotReligion not tolerated in estate agents positions
I have applied on several occasions for roles at Connells (Bridgfords ). I am unable to work on Saturdays for religious reasons. As i result I was turned down for estate agents positions. They are a large set up and one think they could have done more in this regard.

Trustpilotdon’t get a job here...
using the company is one thing. but working for them is another. treated like absolute s***. false promises and dodgy scrips to learn. management are awful, so called ‘leaders’ give false motivation and crap advice. ‘too depressed’ to be on the phone apparently all for less than minimum wage for 50+ hours a week. exploitation at it’s finest. how funny.

TrustpilotDisgsusting service
Disgsusting service. Promise a friend to get them moved within 2 months and it has been 4 and no dat given. Now they say 2 weeks delay. Seriously disgusted. Not an agent my friend dreamed of selling. Do not recommend this at all, an absoluate waist of money and a load of time if you r going to use them.

TrustpilotClowns!
Clowns! Avoid, avoid, avoid! Despite every property selling on the same block within 4 weeks, and for more than the MV, valued at zero. I’d quite like taking a test case/SAR against them.

TrustpilotIncompetent survey, uncontactable.
Incompetent survey, uncontactable.Terrible surveyors. Performed a survey on our flat and incorrectly identified a health and safety issue with our windows that was contradictory to national legislation, putting our whole sale in jeopardy. What makes matters worse is they are uncontactable as they hide behind their estate agents who will not permit any discussion of the survey and are intentionally obstructive.

TrustpilotVery disappointed with Connells
Very disappointed with Connells. Twice they were supposed to conduct a revaluation of a property, having at least two weeks notice. Both times they cancelled due to the person being sick, without arranging someone to cover. They failed to communicate this to the mortgage company and ourselves until very late in the process, causing us a lot unnecessary stress.

I recently used Connells to purchase a property. Shane Clancy and Abi Goodyear provided an excellent service as my mortgage broker and coordinator team. They ensured that any issues were resolved and that i was kept informed at all times. A delay from the mortgage lender near the completion date was quicky escalated to higher management level to ensure the sale would progress smoothly. Thank you Connells.

TrustpilotJoke
Joke! Absolute joke! Just valued my house at 50k less than the previous co did a couple of months ago and since then we’ve had significant work done. Incidentally the valuation they came up with was only 25k more than we paid for it 14 years ago and it was literally just a stone shell. Like I say, total joke!

Trustpilot10 months to finalise a sale
We have been in a property sales chain of 3 since December 2019 - 2 of which have been sold by Connells. We have been promised move dates of March, June, August and still not got a date to move. They have been unable to sort any issues out for 10 months .Even allowing for covid that smacks of serious incompetence.
