GoogleReally amazing service from the past year from Corina and her team, from being so flexible with video call viewings during Covid to arranging any work in the flat that needed doing. The moving in process was smooth and we have had no issues with the agency/landlord - the flat was presented with a high quality of care. Would highly recommend Corina and her team in the futurePositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We would like to thank the Stourbridge team, especially Jack & Ellie for their continued help and support during the time of selling our mums house. They were very professional and communicated with us on a regular basis keeping us informed of the progress of the sale. We would have no hesitation in recommending the Stourbridge team in the future. Anne Verlander & Ruth Jones

TrustpilotCondescending, rude and just arrogant
Well what can I say, house came on the market Friday, sent a email requesting a virtual viewing Friday evening, as we are relocating from overseas. I then get a email from Charlotte on Saturday morning saying we are fully bookedβ¦. I reply saying how can you be fully booked for a virtual viewing? β¦. Surely you are there showing people around so how hard would it have been to have WhatsApp me for 5 mins to walk around the house between viewings. What response did I get β¦ nothing not even an acknowledgment! Totally ghosted. This just shows the contempt these guys hold for potential tenants. Funny as I lived in York over 10yrs ago and hunters were the agent to avoid, seems to me nothing has changed Avoid these clowns at all costs and if you have the misfortune to have to deal with Charlotte well good luck.

TrustpilotExtremely bad experience with Unprofessional and Rude people... Preston Road Wembley branch
Preston Road Wembley Branch I regret to say that my experience with your service has been extremely disappointing. The level of unprofessionalism displayed throughout the process was astounding. From misleading information to outright lies, it became clear that your team was not transparent or trustworthy from the start. Unfortunately, after the deal was finalized, your true nature became even more evident. The promises made prior to the transaction were not upheld, and your team showed a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction. I would strongly caution anyone against working with your company. Thank you for making this an experience I will never forget, but for all the wrong reasons.

TrustpilotDisrespectful, condescending, argumentative agent
We viewed a house with Hunters Plaistow and after seeing probably over 60 properties by now I've never come across such a disrespectful, condescending, argumentative agent. He had a very well rehearsed pitch and seemed irritated by us ruining it with any questions or comments. We couldn't even discuss amongst ourselves without him interjecting to explain that actually it was better this way if we really thought about it. Like we commented that it was too bad a huge extension took up almost the whole garden and got a lecture on why we were wrong and wouldn't use the garden much anyway so the second dining room was better. He got really cagey when we asked why the owners were selling (the answer was basically "what does it matter?" And that it was none of our business). He was very defensive and outright rude when we asked if he could tell us anything about the neighbours, saying that it didn't matter, there are no disputes (strange that that is where his head immediately went to), why did we want to know that, and he "wasn't going to waste his time asking the owners a question like that" for us unless we made an offer. These are very basic questions and every other agent we've ever seen has happily answered or asked the owner. It is the agent's job to pass on questions to the owner. Your neighbours make or break your life. If I'm buying a house with a house full of students next door etc. I want to know about it. This agent has no people skills, no respect for customers, no business being in a job like this. We contacted the Plaistow office to complain about the way we were treated and they couldn't have cared less, fobbed us off with "his manager will call you back", never did, so they're probably all like that. We will avoid Hunters like the plague now, no matter what else they're selling. Avoid viewing or selling with them!

TrustpilotThank you so much to Rob
Thank you so much to Rob, I believe, thatβs his name for going the extra mile to get my wristwatch fixed. It had unfortunately come apart whilst they were trying to install a battery. I am eternally grateful as the watch was special to me. They were most apologetic and ensured that everything was done to get the thing up and working. So once again thank you for your excellent customer service.100%

GoogleHunters provide a good service for tenants, they have been professional and quick to answer any questions that I have had regarding details with the property. They have also been quick to deal with issues with the property and have sent someone round to sort the issue within a couple of days. I would reccomend Hunters to other students who are looking for places to stay, whilst they are studying.

TrustpilotCouldn't recommend more!
I would highly recommend Jake from Hunters Bishopsworth for being professional and attentive with our sale and purchase.Although he was unable to help us due to the locality of our property, he put us in touch with Adam at the Portishead branch straight away. Adam then assisted us from start to finish and provided an excellent service π Couldn't recommend more!

TrustpilotAbsolutely the worst estate agents
Absolutely the worst estate agents , I booked a flat viewing at 4:45pm on Friday evening , I was left a voice message in the morning asking if I couldnβt attend please let them know, I was attending so not necessary, I drove for 50 mins in rush hour traffic and got to the property about 4:47 pm 2 mins late, on the travel over I phoned up the company 4 times leaving messages saying I will be slightly late no answer, when I go to the property the agent wasnβt there , no phone call to my mobile at any point, I knocked on the door and the owners were there very surprised to see me π€π€ I said hi I have a viewing which they replied oh we didnβt know and there has been no agent there today waiting for me, it was very awkward looking around and then I left, the whole situation was a joke how DARE YOU treat potential renters/buyers that way not even turning up and even letting the owners know, waste of my travel time and petrol money , email the agents and they replied back there was someone there but because u was 2 min late they left as there to busy to wait, CROCK of S**t no one was there confirmed bye the owners, I really hope your company goes bust and u all lose your jobs , I should of look at the reviews on here before contacting your agency as there shocking and the worst Iv ever see. For a company Shameful Sharon mcevoy rude lady stay clear

TrustpilotHunters
Hunters- Wallasey branchHunters- Wallasey branch. Horrendous. Absolutely no compassion or care during Covid-19. Even though the landlord is probably taken advantage of his mortgage holidays. Had no working fire alarms since February!!! Donβt reply to emails or answer the phone. DO NOT RENT OFF THESE. House was filthy when we moved in took me 4 days to clean before stuff could be moved in- told them this and they just said rented as seen.

TrustpilotAlex Wilson - Stalybridge
Alex Wilson, the franchisee of Hunters, is not somebody I would suggest you trusting either with the sale of your house, leasing as a landlord or as a tenant. For over 7 days Alex has allowed a flashing floodlight on his property to consistently shine into our home meaning that myself and my three small children have had very little sleep. Despite our pleas for him to fix it and a police officer attending to ask him to resolve it he outright refuses to. He claims he only knows one electrician - who is on holiday - and will not be able to fix it for a further week. He claims no one else is able to. So that is how he behaves with his neighbour so imagine if you had an issue as a landlord or tenant. Absolutely appalling behaviour from someone I used to call a close family friend. Very sad to be treated this way and extremely disappointed in his conduct.

TrustpilotAvoid at all costs. The worst of the worst!
Couldn't have come across worse agents. Took two months to get the house on the market because of continuous delays with contracts, photos and communications. Extremely unresponsive overall, would sometimes have to call for weeks to get an answer or an update. The agents come to house viewings without knowing anything about the house and they lie more than any service provider I've ever dealt with. The absolute bottom of the barrel of estate agents. Avoid at all costs!

Trustpilot8yo living in freezing apartment for over a week
The flat has no heating and the boiler is not working, while the agent claimed that they are working fine during the viewing. The engineer said it takes 3-5 working days to get the parts to fix the boiler, my 8yo has to live in freezing cold apartment for more than a week. The agents just sent us 2 portable heaters and said we have to bear with it.

TrustpilotIf I could give zero stars or negative
If I could give zero stars or even negative stars, I would. From renting the property, collecting the keys, discussing the lease renewal, to the recent issue with rent payments, it has been a complete disaster. When I first viewed the property, I told the agent at Hunter that my current lease was ending soon and I needed to speed up the process of getting the keys. The agent assured me it would be fine and agreed to hand over the keys on Monday. However, I spent the entire Monday chasing them from morning to evening, even going to their office, but still didnβt get the keys. When I arrived at their office, they told me some documents werenβt signed. I couldnβt believe they only realized this after I had to show up in person. The next day, I contacted them again in the morning, and once again, they werenβt ready. It wasn't until late Tuesday, right before their office closed, that I finally got the keys. A year later, when it was time to renew, Hunter told me the landlord agreed not to raise the rent, and I immediately accepted. They sent over the renewal documents, but before I could sign and return them, they called the next day saying the landlord had changed their mind and wanted to increase the rent by Β£200. I was shocked. How could they go back on their word? Hunter even insisted that the landlord had the right to do so because there were still two weeks before the lease renewal, otherwise, the landlord could end the tenancy. This felt like bullying, but I had no choice but to agree. Yesterday, I received the payment invoice for the renewal, but the amount listed was still the old rent. Since they issued the invoice, I paid the amount stated. Today, they realized their mistake and sent me an email asking for the remaining balance, even rushing me to pay immediately. I was at work at the time, so I couldnβt make the payment right away. Later, Hunter's agency called me, and instead of being polite, they demanded I pay as soon as possible. I told them I was working and couldnβt pay immediately, and that it was their mistake, not mine. They insisted I pay after work, but I had other commitments. I canβt believe they made the mistake but still had such a rude attitude. I will never use this company again, and I hope they go out of business to avoid further damaging the reputation of service companies in the UK.

Hunters Bridlington Id like to highly recommend Hunters Bridlington. Even though I wasn't a customer as my agent let me down, Beth Jackson has gone above and beyond, she has been amazing in reducing the stress we had purchasing our property. She kept in contact with on on a regular basis, chased our chain which she didn't have to do. If I could give beth and the team at Bridlington 10 stars π I would. Absolutely outstanding serive and professional through and through. Well done everyone π you are the best.π―ππππππππππβ οΈ

TrustpilotI had Terrible Experience, Avoid at All Costs
I had an extremely disappointing experience with this estate agent. I paid a deposit for a flat, expecting everything to go ahead as agreed. Not only did they fail to give me the flat, but they also refused to return my deposit. Completely unprofessional and dishonest behaviour. I would strongly advise others to stay away, this is not how business should be done.

TrustpilotPoor customer service
My partner and I are looking to relocate to an area around a 5 hour drive away, we found a property with Hunters and booked a viewing. We loved the property so we asked the agent what to do next and he said email so we can get sent an application form; because we liked the property so much we emailed and called the branch to try and get ahead with our application. No answer from the branch after numerous calls over the period of an hour so we decided to go to the branch instead. After speaking to someone in branch (not part of the lettings team so they couldn't help us) they sent an email over to someone from the lettings department with our profile so they could send us an application form via email. This seems great, two emails, one from us and one internally expressing our interest in the property. However fast forward one week, with nothing from them and more attempts to contact from us, we finally get through to be told that someone that viewed on the same day as us has already completed all the applications and is set to start renting the property. No apologies or anything after explaining the situation and that we'd been trying to get in contact for a week.

TrustpilotExcellent service from Hunters in Leighton Buzzard/Tring
We bought and sold a house with Hunters in Leighton Buzzard/Tring and in all instances their service has been very good. Excellent communication by all staff, especially Caroline and Ian who were both very helpful. As matters got a little tense due to solicitor prevarication, (as is so often the case with house buying and selling), they were very good at getting answers. I have no hesitation in recommending.
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.
