Pathetic estate agency

Pathetic estate agency! The guy who is showing properties mixing up addresses and you end up viewing a different one. If you make an offer they show a very keen interest in person then no-one ever comes back to you. The property owners will never get to find out who made offers and they may just losing out on perfectly good tenants…!They do not even talk to each other within the office to relay interest.You get a bunch of promise, but that is all!Laura is useless!

Hunters provided an excellent and efficient service with regard to both selling my former home and finding me a new house. The whole team were friendly and courteous, and they made the process as streamlined as possible. The 360 degree Virtual Tour was an unexpected bonus and very helpful with both properties.

Appalling group of folks!

Appalling group of folks!This group has no idea what they are doing. we worked with Selina and she was absolutely clueless and brought wrong/unverified information to the table. If I were looking to rent, I would be running as far as possible from this agency or owners they work with! if there were minus points that is what I would give them for ripping a kid off!

Great service from Andrew, Melanie and team at Hunters throughout our sale. Always at hand to take any calls, and quick to let us know if there were any progress updates or things needing our attention. All in all a nice smooth, and stress free, process from start to finish. We'd certainly recommend them, A*.

We recently sold our house through Hunters in Skipton and were delighted with their performance throughout the process.They kept us fully informed of developments at every stage and we felt that they always acted in our best interests.The sale was,we believe,greatly assisted by the excellent local knowledge of both Andrew and Melanie of Gargrave,where the house was located.Also,the Hunters 360 virtual reality tour which they produced was most helpful in familiarising potential purchasers with the property.We would thoroughly recommend the company to anyone for their comprehensive but consistently friendly and helpful approach.

This was the third time we had dealt with Hunters - once to buy and twice to sell. Each time they exceeded expectations, from the initial meeting to completion. Andrew has a clear understanding of the local market which is reflected in his valuations and by providing the 360 virtual reality tour the property is shown at its very best. Melanie provided prompt viewing feedback which was much appreciated. Support with any concerns was promptly addressed. Thank you to the team for their professional help, advice, support and excellent communication at what can be a stressful time.

Moved in my house a couple months ago and Hunters has been nothing but helpful. Any issues I’ve had I simply emailed and Eleanor was always there to help and answer and questions or concerns I had. I recommend Hunters very much, they’ve made my life a lot less stressful.

Money for nothing

Make no mistake they aren't worthy of even one star! This Hunters franchise (Sea Road Sunderland) and their so called MD Chris Kelly and his team failed to carry our property inspections and investigate complaints from neighbours in relation to the neglect and horrendous decline of my property over a three year period. We as landlords put our faith in the letting agent and trust they will do a good job in managing our properties. I'm now £7k down trying to repair the property to a good standard. The failure of this company to manage the property and the tenants has left me significantly disadvantaged. Mr Kelly has not responded to my many complaints and requests for compensation and has instead left the franchise, no doubt to make another fortune charging 15% off the back of other unsuspecting landlords! Hunters are a company well known and trusted in our area but be warned, these agents are hiding behind that brand and are able to operate without scrutiny or regulation!!

Avoid this agency at all costs.

I paid a £135 holding deposit to secure a room with an agreed move‑in date. The moment they took my money, they changed the date and told me I could only move in several days later. Because of their change, I could no longer proceed and asked for a refund, which they refused.

A reliable estate agent

Hunter Estate Agent provides exceptional service to its clients, and Bo Tsang exemplifies this with his outstanding dedication and professionalism. His commitment to excellence sets a high standard for customer service in the real estate industry. His attention to detail, prompt communication, and expertise make the selling or buying process seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Hunter Estate Agent, especially Bo Tsang, for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient real estate experience.

Excellent job done on the sale of our house by Hunters, Skipton. Andrew is a skilled professional who knows how to conduct a successful transaction, and the service from the team throughout was smooth and efficient. Marketing was slick, and we were particularly impressed by the 3D Virtual Tour, which we believe to have been instrumental in achieving the price we did. Stellar service all round! Would definitely recommend!

We are very pleased with the service with special mention to the 360 Virtual reality Viewing Tour which meant that when people viewed they already had a strong sense of our home. The service showing the property was next to none. Big shout out to Mel for her professionalism and skill.

UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISHONEST

Hunters Stevenage is extremely unprofessional and dishonest!I want to caution everyone considering them before handing over a deposit, as they will go to great lengths to keep your money.I had been renting for eight years prior to this, in various properties with different agents, and never encountered any issues with the return of my deposit.It's incredibly frustrating trying to get a response from them, even through email. Without a doubt, they are the worst estate agent I've ever had to deal with. I lived in a rented house through them for nearly two years but recently purchased my own place through Own Homes (which hasn't had any issues).Hunters is currently refusing to refund my deposit after two months, citing a small rip in the carpet near the radiator pipe and a crack in the bath. Both of these issues were present when I first moved in.They are taking an unreasonable stance and are also claiming an inability to communicate with the landlord for nearly a month. They're even using minor issues like mold on the bathroom sealant and three burnt-out light bulbs as reasons not to return my deposit.Furthermore, after two months, they are now trying to deduct money from my deposit, citing a weed issue in the front garden.Letting Manager sent me an email at 7:14 PM, and immediately after that, I went to the house and took photos to document the situation. It's truly baffling how unreasonable they are being.I consistently paid the rent on time and took excellent care of the house while I was there, even installing a new shower. However, I'm currently facing issues retrieving my deposit, as I had to hire a cleaning company to restore the house to its original condition. This has been an ongoing process please be cautious when dealing with Hunters Stevenage!!!"

We cannot praise Hunters highly enough, right from the initial meeting Andrew and the whole team gave us a friendly and professional service. Their 360 virtual viewing tour was most beneficial, with many prospective viewers/purchasers commenting on it. We had a really good rapport with the staff, especially Melanie, who was first class with feedback from the viewings.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I had an exceptional experience working with Julie Decraene throughout my house purchase. From start to finish before passing onto the next agent for the further process of buying my house, her service was nothing short of outstanding. She made what can often be a stressful and complicated process feel smooth, straightforward, and incredibly efficient.

Total scammers!

Total scammers!! Do NOT recommend at all!! I rented with with them for 4 years, was okay at first then it gotten difficult to get things properly fixed, they left us without a fridge and freezer for over a year so I had to buy my own! They send out the same repair men that told me over and over again they could t properly fix various things as it needed updating and my landlord was refusing to update (handyman’s words not mine). We had a mice infestation that I had made them aware of but nothing was done and they ended up coming into the house eating through all my kids Easter eggs and our snacks and my sons make a wish documents amongst other important documents!! I had to pay for the infestation to be sorted, I have paperwork that states the things that needed doing to stop them and they didn’t do half of it!! There was insufficient loft insulation, single glazed windows and no wall insulation so it was beyond freezing unless I had the heating on constantly. They didn’t carpet or decorate in god knows how long!! I paid £2800 deposit to stay in this house!! They then said as I was pregnant there would be too many people living in the property so I said okay can I please have a rent statement to get onto the council and was told by corena she would email this to me but this went on for about 6 months and she then sends me an eviction notice instead so I said okay can I have the rent statement she still refused! A year later I get the rent statement.. then another eviction notice. Their reason was my landlords granddaughter had cancer and needed to sell up to pay for treatment (she knew one of my sons was a cancer survivor and she also knew my youngest son is fighting a brain tumour!) she used my personal circumstances as a tool against me. I tried so hard to move out quickly but eventually got a property with the council.She caused 2 years of horrifying mental breakdowns, I have adhd and so you can imagine the impact it had! She never done and entrance or exit inventory with me, she next done entrance or exit key handover so the crook covered her bases.!! This wasn’t her first rodeo!!I have been informed by neighbours of repairs etc carried out since I left the property and also about the new tennants living there so they never sold the property.Social services are trying to help get my deposit back, the so called deposit guarantee scheme said there was nothing they could do as it was never with them!! So I had a look on company’s house at them… I suggest if your considering renting from hunters you look on companies house at them too!! They are a bunch of scammers and they keep getting away with it!!They have now left us with absolutely nothing! I’m a single mum having to furnish and carpet a house with next to no money struggling to decide if my kids need a bed or food, carpets or gas, curtains or electric!! I was told a survey of dilapidation was being done and that turned out to not be true!! I have asked numerous times about my deposit and she doesn’t reply to nothing! She ignores everything. She has stolen £2800 from me and my children. I have 2 autistic children and 1 is a cancer survivor and 1 has a brain tumour I have a lot of worries already with them without this worry about loosing so much money that was needed to benefit my children. British Gas had to swap the meter as per the request from the ombudsmen and corena Harris told me I’d better put them back I have this and more in messages!! I said I can’t as that is breaking the law and she wasn’t happy at all.. the old meters didn’t work!! I can only hope people do not make the same mistake as myself and put their trust in these despicable people!! Have a look on companies house before considering renting from them!!£2800 is a lot of money for a single mum with 6 children and 3 of which are very poorly and one is fighting a brain tumour you ask yourself what kind of person does that!!

Highly recommend. Hunters in Skipton is a very professional estate agents, which became apparent when we attempted to buy through a different local agent. The difference in approach and professionalism was stark. Andrew and his team were easy to get hold of (often working outside of their usual hours), quick to answer any questions/sort enquiries, proficient and reliable. I'd certainly use them again for selling my property.

Hunters Baldock as letting agents…

Hunters Baldock were the letting agents for a recent rental. I found them rude and difficult to the point of enjoying the power they had over me as a nervous tenant in an expensive and competitive market. They piled on the reasons why I might not get my deposit back (which they still have not returned) were useless with actual sums and dates and generally unpleasant.

I phoned up a interest in a property and got a private mobile number saying she worked for hunters, the next 2 days I bombarded with calls and 2 booked appointments. I politely asked to be left alone then a call literally 20 mins later and again the next day to see if I was attending a meeting with her and her husband on a Sunday. What is going on here if anyone can shed any light on this , I was so stressed out I blocked her. I wouldn't go to these if they were last estate agents left. Garbage

I would strongly advise others to think twice before renting through this estate agent. When we signed our tenancy agreement, the property was advertised and agreed with included parking, which was a key factor in our decision to rent the flat.
