I wouldn’t give them a star
I wouldn’t give them a star. Service for rental appalling. No communication no reports sent till end of tenancy. House was left disgusting. They didn’t do reports or follow up on anything. Jay sat on mobile all time while Valentino made excuses for everything they got paid to manage!!!! JOKE

Avoid at all cost. I rented through this company from 1st February to 30th September - the house I rented cost £895 a month and belonged to Mr Steve and Mrs Janet Quinney, and was registered to 70 Albert Place - the same as the Peterborough office. I wrongly thought that due to the connection with the owners and the company that I would be looked after and that the house would be given to me in clean and excellent condition. I can't begin to describe the amount of filth I was faced with the day I collected the keys, dust, mould, mud and food on every surface in every room - dead flies in windowsills. Toothpaste still in the ensuite sink. I couldn't move in, I was so upset. Janet Quinney responded to my concerns by saying that it was own fault and that the property was 'let as seen'! I was charged £1295 deposit, which they themselves held in their own accounts, and when it came to me moving out it took 3 weeks before they could be bothered to release it to me. I was told it could take 3 months for them to return my deposit. The communication has been abismal, and I have waited until I eventually received my deposit back before reviewing and warning any other potential customers. The office staff seem to be paid to be disgustingly rude, and all repairs took months to be completed. I left the property before the tenancy was up because I wanted nothing more to do with them. Whoever you are - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. BE WARNED!!
Hi Janet, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really value our customers feedback so we are sorry to hear that you feel you received a 1 star service. The carpets had been cleaned as requested upon you taking the property and Amber from our Lettings team also promptly attended the property to clean areas of the property which were your main concern which was the kitchen, all cupboards and appliances. Your deposit was held with TDS Scheme as per your tenancy agreement as this is a legal requirement and in regards to the release of your funds, again as per the TDS guidelines we have processes we have to follow - you also wanted to re-attend to tend to the weeds in the garden as you did not agree for this deduction. In regards to communication - Amber has been liaising with you and the landlord kindly agreed to release you from the tenancy despite being in a fixed term. Maintenance was completed, unfortunately there was a slight delay on the fence due to this being your neighbour's side which needed investigating. The porch and garage light was sorted, plumbing to the kitchen and other issues you raised with the plumbing with the property was attended too. Replacement of cooker hood, replacement of shower hose. Should you like to discuss this further please do not hesitate to contact us directly and we will carry out any required further investigation for you. Many thanks.

It is my first time renting and Jess at the Peterborough branch has been amazing! Anything that needed chasing, had already been chased. The support from Jess was brilliant! Also, Amber was very helpful and you could tell the two were working as a team to make sure the move ran smoothly. Couldn’t thank either of you enough for how much you’ve helped :)

Shane at Sharman Quinney kept in touch regularly, even though he was not my main agent initially. After disappointment elsewhere, we agreed to a slight reduction in rent and within a day, SQ found a tenant who four days later moved into the property. Very happy landlord so far!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and kind recommendation. We really value our customers feedback so we're thrilled to hear that you received a 5 star service from Shane.

I was irate when I called Sharman Quinney today to discuss an unknown charge on my account. Mo answered the phone and dealt with both my frustration and query in a professional manner. He spent over 30 minutes with me on the phone, for much of this I was on hold but Mo kept checking in with me to explain the situation and that I would be on hold only a little longer. When the matter was dealt with to my satisfaction Mo even asked if there was anything else he could help me with. At no time did I feel like a burden or that Mo was in a hurry to get rid of me. He is an asset to the company.
Hi Nicola, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We really value our customers feedback and we are delighted to hear how helpful Mo has been for you at a frustrating time. We are so pleased we were able to resolve the issue for you and we will be sure to pass on your kind feedback to him. Thanks again from us all at Peterborough Lettings.

I have been with Sharman Quinney since 2015 when I moved to Cambridge over two different properties and have always had a good experience with them especially during visits by some of staff from the cambourne office who are really friendly and nice. However I have to give kudos to Danielle Phillips who was the property manager for the apartment that am now leaving. Being a new building with an inexperienced landlord and building management company, getting in touch with her was easy and I would always know I would get a quick response and solution to any problem. Over the year she looked after the underground parking gates fire alarms keys visits and all other new build teething issues. Please keep up with the good work and a lot more tenants will have the same experience.
Good morning Aazir, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really value our customers feedback and we're delighted to hear that both Danielle and our Cambourne office have provided such a great service over the years for you. Thanks again from us all at Sharman Quinney.

Please avoid using Sharman Quinney…
Please avoid using Sharman Quinney under any circumstances. If I could have given no stars I would have, there is nothing good that can be said about this agency. It's honestly the worst agency I have ever come across and I've been in the industry myself for 14 years now. They cannot even carry out basic due diligence when advertising a property so be prepared to be misinformed. One property was advertised as both freehold and leasehold, when we phoned to check we were told it was freehold, but it turned out through our solicitor it did have a lease too. They also didn't know the seller was only selling with a limited title not a full one, something that again only came to light through our solicitor six months later, a complete waste of everyone's time that could have been avoided if Sharman Quinney could be bothered to get to know the sellers and the houses they are selling better. The property we eventually ended up buying was advertised as having allocated off road parking. When we phoned to check this we were told this was definitely correct. Common sense told us this didn't seem right as none of the properties there had parking and the space was no where near the house! It turned out this was not the case at all and there was no parking with the house. It no longer fitted our needs however as this all happen several weeks down the line, and we were due to be made homeless in a matter of weeks, we simple had no choice but to proceed. Sharman Quinney's response to this was 'we take the word of our sellers' so it seems they will believe anything you tell them as a seller, despite the fact common sense should have made any competent agent question the parking situation in this case. Sharman quinney are the only agency I know to get away with not carrying out basic due diligence. You will never be able to get hold of anyone at the branch, we had to phone another branch on many occasions to get them to contact the Shelford office for us, they don't reply to any phone calls or emails. They have a turn over of staff every few weeks, you are not told when someone is leaving nor introduced to someone new starting. The person starting will also have no clue what's going on with the sale so be prepared to constantly have to repeat yourself. They do not bother giving you any updates or chase a sale for you, complete laziness. They will be sitting on their personal mobile phones everytime you drive past. When we raised a complaint about their shortfallings and appalling service, we didn't get a single apology. How this agency is still running honestly baffles me, at the very least the Shelford branch should not be allowed to continue practicing.

Danielle Philips was always efficient, effective, and professional when dealing with our requests. Would highly recommend.

Due to the nature of my job I contract around different regions of the country and therefore rent housing on frequent occasions. The service from Sharman Quinney was very poor, I could never get through to them on time and all their responses were massively late. In the end I liaised with the Land lord directly for 2 years and we worked around there incompetence. When it came to getting my deposit back, this wasn’t straight forward either. Although Sharman Quinney hold your funds directly (TDS) they seem unwilling to give them back in a timely manner. Anyone thinking of renting a property with them should stay clear.
Hi Terry, I'm sorry to hear that you're still awaiting your deposit. I've spoken to our Property Management team and I understand there was a delay with the DPS releasing this which is unfortunately out of our control. I believe a member of our team has now been in touch and explained this and that the funds are now on their way to you from the DPS. Please contact us directly if you have any further issues and we will be more than happy to help.
