Rude and unhelpful

My goodness - where to begin… Allen and Harris clevedon branch Somerset. I’ve dealt with a lot of estate agents, as I’m sure most of us have. I’ve bought houses, sold houses, and rented more times than I’d have liked. This estate agent was by far the worst I’ve dealt with- which is saying something as we all know what they are like to deal with. Lack of communication Lack of customer service Lack of knowledge Lack of understanding Lack of basic assistance Lack of professionalism to a very high standard I dealt with two agents from this branch and both were not only unhelpful but rude and failed to do even the most basic of tasks when dealing with my rental. Both myself ( the renter) and the client ( the home owner) have been stunned by the complete lack of service. I can safely say I will never use this agency again and will make sure I don’t deal with any of the branches in the future - I will actively not peruse any further business dealings with the entire company - not just the clevedon branch. Up to you if you use them- just be ware and be prepared to do a lot of the work yourself and deal with really very rude and unhelpful staff.

Thoroughly recommend Allen and Harris

Thoroughly recommend Allen and Harris. Selling a house that was my grandparents and latterly my late parents was a difficult and emotional thing to do, coupled with me living a two hour drive away. The team were very kind, thoughtful. Kept me up to date and really went above and beyond, offering to get legal paperwork from their office to my solicitors for me. I would particularly mention James Lamb and Connor Sherman. I wouldn't hesitate to use Allen & Harris for buying or selling any property.

the one in bristol never answer their phone for enquiries (it was end of january, maybe busy period?). Even if you leave your name + phone number twice, they do not give call back.

Absolute joke

Emailed to ask for a viewing of a house, was called by (apparently) the head office and told it would be booked in. We arranged our day around the viewing and got excited to view what looked like a really lovely house. I got a bad feeling the day we were meant to view it as I hadn't had any confirmation email and was told that I hadn't been booked in at all. I then asked to book it in for another evening and my details were taken this time. Again, arranged our day around the viewing, didn't receive a confirmation email. Rang again and was told that it hadn't been booked in, they didn't have my details on the database and the vendor had said they only wanted people that were ready to buy to view the house and because mine is going through the process of being put on the market, that I couldn't view it. Absolute joke. Wasted so much of our time. AND they had the balls to ask if we needed an estate agent to put our house on the market - as if I would go anywhere near them now. Will be avoiding any houses that are being sold by them now and in the future.

I dealt this Ollie in this branch. He was pro-active and professional. I liked that he was genuine and not pushy as some estate agents can be. At the same time he was very proactive, listening to what we wanted. We pretty much spoke to all the estate agents in the area and I thought Ollie was the best. Would thoroughly recommend.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Unreliable and untrustworthy.

Unreliable and untrustworthy.This company has been a source of frustration for ourselves and our landlord.We had viewings deceptively organised behind our backs while living in the property, under the guise of agents being allowed to take photos.We also confirmed our deposit return with our landlord and agent and then received no deposit or response for over two weeks.My wife was told today after getting in touch it was not there responsibility, until we provided screenshots of the same agent who lied to us previously explaining he would communicate with the landlord and get back to us then failed to do so.Completely inconsistent, incredibly stressful, unprofessional and no accountability. I would advise caution before working with or renting through this company.

I have rented through Allen and Harris for a while now and I must say I am very impressed with the service I'm provided when reporting issues. Ash had been very efficient, very personable yet professional. Ash offers solutions and support throughout our email conversations along with regular updates when needed. Keep up this fab work. x

We asked them if the property had any…

We asked them if the property had any structural issues, and even though they knew it had, they told us the opposite. We found out later when the property information form came through. So they basically breached their legal duty. So I incurred costs and survey fees, which I am now trying to reclaim back from them, but they even make this difficult. Shameful estate agent, the kind that reaffirm everyone's opinion of estate agents.

I cannot praise Ollie Jones enough for the hard work, support and professionalism he has shown throughout my purchase. I had a particularly difficult process and experience but his level of communication, persistence, determination and assistance was outstanding. No matter how busy the team were, they always made time to talk through queries, listen and advise. Thank you Ollie, so very much.

Very friendly, proactive and professional service. I was selling an inherited property and was dealt with sensitively during a personally difficult time. Ollie went above and beyond to help me manage the process and handle issues, especially as I don't live in the area.

Spoke with Laura to ask for a home…

Spoke with Laura to ask for a home report which I have still not received. I think she really hates her job because every-time I’ve called and she’s answered the phone she sounds like she would rather not be there. I have actually changed my mind about even buying a house form Allen and Harris because if you let someone like that answer the phone with no motivation to help your customers then I can only imagine the service you must provide. My brother has called to enquire about another property and the same Laura answered the phone and he has also changed his mind about getting a property. So congratulations yous have lost out on 2 potential deals. Staff should not be hired if they don’t like their job.

I was selling a property as executor. Ollie was highly professional, friendly, and thorough from the start. I received text messages and emails at every important step of the proces. The whole office team were very easy to work with. Highly recommended!

Saw a property yesterday in Broomlands…

Saw a property yesterday in Broomlands st paisley, agent who showed up was the most unprofessional person I have delt with. She wouldn't even come through the property with us. Claimed there was a "smell" inside. Wasn't sure how long property was on the market. Didn't give us a business card or information about property. She didn't even shake my hand or say goodbye. I didn't realise estate agents got paid to stay outside the property. She (Lauren) is definitely not a very good representative for your business.

Don't go ANYWHERE near this company

Currently trying to get back £11,000 despite my tenancy ending two weeks ago and ignoring all my requests for it to be returned. So stressful. SO unethical. I am furious with how I've been treated by this company.The worst renting experience I've ever had. My landlord is an abusive bully who mocks, insults and abuses me in emails with Allen & Harris copied in. She has been doing this for months. Allen & Harris seem to accept this behaviour and at no point have asked my landlord to speak to me politely, despite the fact that I flagged multiple times how much the bullying treatment was affecting me and mental health. Allen & Harris seem to view tenant bullying as acceptable. If you raise any issue about your tenancy, they like to remind you that they 'work for the landlord, not the tenant'. They are this brazen and this shameless. You really need to know your rights inside out when renting from these people as they will take advantage of you if they can. There's no human decency or ethics involved; it's all about money. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone who is new to renting at all (tbf, I don't recommend them anyway).Personally, having been a landlord, I would never want my tenants to be mistreated and exploited and made unhappy on my behalf. I actually believe in being decent to people, not just extracting as much money as possible from them while subjecting them to misery.I terminated my tenancy early and I am still waiting for overpaid rent and my deposit back despite my tenancy ending two weeks ago. I've had to raise a dispute with the Tenancy Deposit Service as Allen & Harris refuse to return my deposit to me and are ignoring me and screening my calls. When I called them and got through, the moment I said who I was they went quiet. I could hear background noise but they simply decided not to converse with me! Utterly childish, unprofessional and appalling behaviour.Once these people have your funds, they DO NOT CARE. They will cause you as much stress as possible and they don't care about the impact on your mental health. The lack of engagement is staggering. Calls, emails, texts, all go ignored. They will push you to breaking point and then offer you a breadcrumb of communication. It is PATHETIC and the staff need to grow up. If they think they can treat people like this without consequence, they are wrong. The Property Ombudsman exists for a reason and I am making a formal complaint.This whole experience has been one of the most stressful, abusive and unpleasant I have ever had. I wish I had never ever picked up the phone to inquire about the property. The whole experience has been absolutely appalling. I truly can't believe how badly I've been treated. I am done with renting now. Allen & Harris have shown me just how exploitative, abusive and awful it can be. I'm fully done. Avoid.
