TrustpilotTorpoint Branch are terrible letting agents
Well where do I start, they fail to return calls and emails. They pass the buck, they have "managed" a rental property for several years for me. The agreement requires two inspections a year. Well I have had a gap of 19months between gaps and 7 weeks between inspections. They keep telling me this year it is government guidelines that mean the inspections have not happened this year. I have shared with them the legislation that says they can. I have now had a "virtual" inspection well the pictures are of a poor quality and it is 12 months since the last inspection. The current manager keeps saying it is not my fault I didn't work here then. It is tiring to deal with such a company. They used to be a little private letting agent when I started before being taken over by this shoddy outfit. I changed bank account for the rent to be paid into so they withheld the payments!!!! Well if you wish to have stress and aggravation use this. I certainly would not trust them to sort out a party in a brewery.

TrustpilotBUYER BEWARE...
BUYER BEWARE...Ensure anything promised or intimated, especially by the manager, is confirmed in writing.During your viewing make sure you document an inventory, sold as seen properties means nothing to this estate agency as vendors will be allowed access to remove whatever property has been displayed to entice your offer.Should you wish to discuss any issues, the manager will no longer be available and your emails will be ignored.The Property Ombudsman can only act on documentation, none of which will be forthcoming from the St Agnes branch.

TrustpilotThe Torquay office is just awful
The Torquay office is just awful! Full of young girls who don’t know the basics of sales. decided to leave our nanny cam on one day to see why we weren't getting anywhere and one of the girls there barley said a work other than ‘hmmm’ ‘yeah’ ‘oh my god’ and spent most of the time giggling. Considering their quite pricey for the area I was expecting real quality but if you into their Torquay branch you’d think you were behind the counter at top shop. Really unprofessional, they need to find a good training program for all these girls or get some staff with knowledge and experience.

TrustpilotNew rental.
We decided to entrust our property to Millercointrywide, Falmouth office. The level of service given by Cameron Wallis the branch manager has so far been excellent. The office team I understand is a relatively new and this is in there favour, which shows in their enthusiasm. They keep you informed what is happening at each stage and Cameron certainly represents the company extremely well and is very knowledgeable. We have every confidence that our property will be rented at the anticipated price. I would not hesitate in recommending them.

TrustpilotCant get the address right on a tenancy agreement
Just had a tenant give me notice, Saying the agreement has the wrong address on it so she is not bound buy it.Hundreds in fees and they cant even get the address right on the agreement. No doubt they will say I should have checked it. but if you cant get something that basic correct its probably best to do what I am going to do and go to a different agent when this tenant has left.

If I could have given a zero stars I would have as that how much they care about service. No show for an appointment, no phone call nothing. Can't speak to a person as the phone is never answered in the Plymouth branch.

TrustpilotManager of Torpoint branch is a bully.
Manager of Torpoint branch has harassed and belittled my vulnerable Mum who lives alone. Despite cancelling her contract she was daily contacted nearly daily and has now been told she has to still pay him commission if she sells with another company.

TrustpilotBe careful with your deposit if your renting.
It was complicated for me to get my deposit back, it took 7 months, a lot of emails and phone calls. I recommend you to be careful with that, and to use the protection if you can (which only lasts 3 months). Some employees of the companies are very nice and helpful though.
