TrustpilotExcellent and professional
Chose to go with connells to sell my mother's property, a decision that I would make again in a flash, they priced it realistically and the write up, photos and videos were accurate. Connells were very professional and kept us updated from start to finish, they dealt with all quieres promptly. Mark, lavinia and libby your all stars. (especially libby who done alot of running round and phonecall) Thank you.

TrustpilotIncredibly Poor Service Ethics
I would not recommend selling your property with this estate agent. We had a very poor experience wanting to genuinely purchase a property they were marketing... We had to push for our offer to be submitted to the sellers after declaring we didn't need to use their mortgage services. We had an improved offer accepted by the sellers, we were then pitched their conveying service, but we kindly declined, we were expecting an sales memorandum but instead the offer was discarded for reasons unknown and their phone just rings out.. We decided to move on and had a offer accepted on another property with another agent and the process was seamless

TrustpilotOne mistake after the next..
Moving is a stressful enough experience without having your agent tell you at three months in that your buyer has pulled out, putting your property back on the market, re-selling it for more, then telling you it was another property nearby that the original buyer actually pulled out of. Don't even go there!

GoogleI recently brought my first home which can be a stressful experience. The guys at Connells, in particular Kiri made it as stress free as possible throughout and also allowed me to go around the house as many times as I liked before getting the keys. Thankyou so much!!

TrustpilotAVOID AT ALL COSTS
AVOID AT ALL COSTS - BUYER AND SELLER BEWAREThis company is focused on one thing, their commission. They do the minimum they can to maximise their commission. EVEN CONVINCING THE SELLER TO RELIST THE PROPERTY WHEN ALL PARTIES ARE READY TO EXCHANGE AND ARE ONLY AWAITING PROBATE! They only let people who are registered with their broker offer. So, two sets of £699 (!!!!! application fee when other brokers are free!!!!), use their packs (twice the price than through lawyers), and services. They are incompetent, slow and completely unresponsive.

TrustpilotBeware what you sign when handed the contract regarding their FEE
The only reason we chose Connells was because they said they will charge 1% fee from the selling price. I signed the contract with them for this but they took the 1% from the “supposed” selling price which was considerably higher, than the actual price we sold! It also took them almost 2 years to sell! When I asked for the refund, they just delayed the answer & didn’t reply to emails until it was too late, as completion happened.

TrustpilotSonny and Doug are amazing
Really amazing people both Sonny and Doug helped get us moved in 1 week. They were always there to help from start to finish and have continued to help after the move also. It was the least stressful move I've ever done!!! Highly recommended to use Connells Welyn garden

GoogleWe had the pleasure of working with Andrew and Jessica from Connells' lettings department (Oldbury) and we were thoroughly impressed with the level of service they provided. They kept us well-informed throughout the process and went above and beyond to assist us whenever we required their help. Andrew, in particular, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and competence, and we strongly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable and trustworthy estate agent.

TrustpilotIf there less than one star definitely…
If there less than one star definitely i would put. I haven’t seen such a horrible estate agency like them. When i moved to the property their employee make me sign the contract and promised me that he was going to give the kay at the second day but he didn’t answer my calls because was Sunday and the big problem my stuff were in the street because I thought he would give the kay another surprise that the previous tent where i suppose to move was still there so I beg him to leave my stuff in the garden and i went back to my previous property and slept on the floor because I had no furniture the second day he gave me the kay I found the property full of rubbish and many problems there then they keep waiting until 3 months to fixed them. My second problem since last year i have neighbour on the top and they do business (illegal) at their property so they make a lot of noise and they don’t care I have recorded the noise and sent them to Connells they reply after 50 days and said please contact the management 😂 i am stuck at this horrible property because I am student and landlords don’t accept STUDENT I am living in a nightmare everyday because of them I hope government close their offices i am crying everyday i feel so stress

Avoid at all costs if you value your mental health!! Connells failed in their legal duty to inform us fully about our buyers position to proceed which led us to accept an offer from someone with a complicated chain, leading to stressful delays. They failed to keep us informed on progress and when contacted for an update, calls were frequently not returned. The service was so poor, our buyer regularly contacted us to find out if we knew what was happening with their chain! Despite making a formal complaint outlining their numerous failings, Connells would not accept any of their shortcomings. A disaster from beginning to end. Should anyone be unfortunate enough to use this company, the best advice is if you speak to them follow the conversation up with an email to ensure a written record of everything they say or do because their staff have difficulty in recalling anything discussed verbally.

This parasitic vile company(high wycombe) put my house on the market without my knowledge or say so. I have done my research to find out on record that via Hurst, jnp and others in the vicinity have all had customers complain about the exact same thing done to them. Needless to say I'm coming to close you down. All the way to the top!.

TrustpilotWARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I saw all the other thousands of negative reviews about this abysmal company, I was relieved to know I was not the only one! They are beyond corrupt, an absolute joke. Unprofessional, rude, frauds and liars. I have had so many issues with them its unbelievable. They lied to Scottish Power when we moved in our rented property and we ended up having a warrant against us for S.P to remove our meter, S.P then stated they have taken the property and estate agents to court for failure to provide them with an update of tenancy and paying the arrears. When I then told S.P that we are with Connells estate agents he LAUGHED and said word for word "sorry I'm not laughing at you I promise I'm just laughing because so many tenants have named Connells, theyre known for this, If I was you I'd sue them and give them a world of sh**. This is not your debt its theirs." When I then informed Connells, there response was absolutely disgusting. I warn everyone to STAY AWAY from this agency no matter what. And so many of my colleagues, friends of friends, and neighbours have said the same - word of mouth is crucial. As are the thousands of other complaints about this AWFUL corrupt disgusting agency.

GoogleI received an exceptional service from Connells (Oldbury branch) as part of my first property purchase. Natasha Harris made all the difference by regularly keeping me in the loop amongst going over and above her role. She is an exceptionally lovely person to deal with. First class customer service!

TrustpilotGreat communication, professionalism and intelligence.
Anastasija was very thorough, correct and quick to understand the requirement. Her range of options were just what I'd hoped for and even better too in that she presented an innovative shorter-term plan for me which was a better bargain longer-term. Thank you.Great communication, professionalism and intelligence. Human too!

TrustpilotI thought Initially that Connells is…
I thought Initially that Connells is right place for letting, but after letting they continously disturbed us with Sales and Letting related before 3 months of the contract, even though we say we are not available pushing us that we need to be in home as they already booked without taking prior confirmation. After contract they send us that it is worst report and saying that we damaged whole property which is already damaged in pieces that's why no one buy or let. One of the Representative said that we are staying in the property more than the occupants and said that we are like labours lot of rude talk and defaming others. Just talking in a way that they are staying in the home everyday and observing when we are in contract. I am least bother about Tenancy deposit because i can donate for this beggars.

TrustpilotWorst letting agency you can deal with…
This is one of the worst letting companies you can deal with. They are frauds, liars and unprofessional. They lied to me when renting my property, kept the money paid by the tenants for a month in their accounts to gain profit on it and kept lying to me about releasing the money. I called them several times to cancel the management and they kept lying about it and manipulating to keep taking the management fees and not to return any penny. They have no manners and respond after days and days of emailing them. No cross communication and they asking same questions.
