Paid a marketing fee of £238 which if I used their solicitors gilson gray I would get this amount back. First I was promised 28 working days from the house sale being completed 2 months went by then told 28 working days from when they send in the invoice. The account team sent an email to say this is being fast tracked and I would get it by 7pm still nothing back and getting excuses after excuses

TrustpilotOldbury Branch
Ms C Lane has been outstanding in finding suitable tenants for my property as well as being of great assistance with all the details the process involves. Whilst I work abroad, she has been efficient in communications, providing me with immediate responses and solutions to my needs, and has gone beyond what other agenicies provide for their management services.Many thanks to her and the Oldbury office who have been so understanding, thorough and helpful.

TrustpilotAbsolute Scam artists
Absolute Scam artists. Ridiculous deductions from deposit (£250 for an oven that needed cleaning and a shower screen that was dirty). Neighbours said cleaners never attended, refused to provide an invoice for cleaning. Useless communication. Agent I dealt with made return of deposit as diffcult as possible (taken 2.5 months) and pulled stunts like ignoring my email for a week, emailing a reply at 5:20 on a Friday and when I responded immediately, got an "out of office for a week" auto-response. Scum.

Thank you, John! It's been a pleasure working alongside you to secure the sale of your mum’s property.
As a family-run business, we always take pride in helping families, so it means a lot to have been part of this journey with you.

We completed on our house on Friday and We used connells as our Agent, their customer service is awful. No viewing feedback, I had to ring them each time to ask, most times just being told we can’t get hold of them. On one viewing I happened to be in the house and the agent let it slip that the week before the woman who was supposed to view our house didn’t actually view it and there was confusion and it wasn’t our house she wanted to view, instead of telling us this, they made up feedback and said one of the bedrooms was too small! They had a key for us in their office so they could let themselves in to do viewing yet one time we got called back to let them in as they didn’t know they had a key! After we had agreed an offer that was the last we pretty much heard from them. I would chase and chase on emails for updates just to get a snotty email back from Adam who’s the sales branch manager. Absolutely no communication pretty much from start to finish!

TrustpilotDo not use or work for this company.
Honestly, the worst company you could work for or use as a client. I have not experienced everything quite like it. I had witnessed, heard and been made to tell so many lies to paying customers. Money is all they care about, not ones health. Not a good company.

A big thank you to Kelly for offering a very personal and extremely easy experience in renting my property. It had been so effortless which is exactly what I required and tenants were found within a week.Thank you for going over and beyond Kelly nothing was ever too much effort for you, a true credit to the company and gold star service.

TrustpilotFaversham office, seem a bit corrupt
I mistaken he put these people on the list For selling my house without checking reviews here! They phoned up and made an appointment But when I said I’m obviously speaking to a number of agents and I’m Ruling out, could you tell me your fees she said,” Oh, we don’t have set fees It depends on your future intentions how much we charge you” I said, I didn’t think that was quite right, but I would discuss it when they came to value. A couple of hours later someone else from the office rang Apparently, an error, but it turned out the first woman hadn’t bothered to make an appointment because I I didn’t want to pay more than others.

So I placed my house on the market with another agent- get a knock on the door from Amanda from Leicester branch saying she has a few people who are interested in the property and only this property signed up with them multi boarding and got literally 5 people through the door who I had to show around myself and not had a clue about the house and wasted my time. Left with them and sold with my original agent - AVOID time wasters!!!

TrustpilotPoor Experience
We used them via Persimmons home exchange. The initial valuation and communication with them was great as they want to get your custom. They were meant to phone us/ email about our house listing so we could proof read it before it was put on the market. They listed our house as leasehold and made up information about this lease.. The property is freehold.. 🙄 we contacted them about this and they said it takes a week to amend it on the website. 2 weeks later it is still currently listed wrong.Anyway, this probably lost us quite a few potential buyers but luckily we also had our house listed with a local estate agent who marketed our house correctly and we sold within a week with them!

I was a prospective tenant for one of the properties listed with them. They cancelled a viewing 2 hrs before the appointment saying the house was having 'some work done'. We rebooked the viewing for 2 days later and I called on the day of the viewing to confirm some details about the property. It was only then that I was informed that the property was not available. They had not bothered to contact me to cancel the viewing (was meant to happen in less than 2 hours). They did not apologise and were actually quite rude. I don't trust them at all and wouldn't be surprised if the information I was given was untrue. I would not recommend them!

TrustpilotI do not recommend
This agency performed a sales and rental valuation at my property. After the total renovation of my house was estimated at £1,600 per month as renting price. Using any website that rents houses in my area the monthly price is around £2,000 in lower standards. The hours in which you can receive apointments are between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. When I asked about later hours, I received the answer that I had to take a day off from work. The agent was very young and his behavior was unpleasant.I must add that I had a total of four agents. I received quotes of £2000 pm or more from three of them.

TrustpilotThe option for 0 stars is not possible
The option for 0 stars is not possible. Absolutely appalling service (Oadby, Leicester branch). They took my son’s deposit on a rental property, having told him he could collect the keys that morning. Once the deposit had been paid and contract signed, he was told (despite earning £45k p/an and a good credit rating) he needed a guarantor for which my husband and I agreed. It took them 3 days to process the information we submitted before my son was offered an alternative home by a friend. He hasn’t received an apology, he and we, were treated with utter contempt by staff that clearly had no life experience/skills. He still has not received a refund and they have not responded to my email/calls to advise they will destroy our personal details from their records. I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU USE THIS COMPANY.

TrustpilotAvoid Coventry branch sellers.
Coventry branch... I found a member of your staff extremely unhelpful and rude. You can find out who this is by pulling my details and who I've spoken to (if you care?) Two rightmove enquiries and promised calls back with info. I I had to chase twice.To be told rent is "about 900" - when your selling an investment property how can you possibly not have that information and expect landlords to make a decision?The it turns out when you check its £750....It's super unprofessional and I would not be satisfied if I was the homeowner that you are not following up viewing enquiries and that you are not able to give basic info on propertiesFeel free to pull calls with me and listen to how I was handled and how your staff are treating customers.No longer want to view!!! From your Coventry branch.

Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
