Had my market appraisal this morning with Laura Willets, from Connells, regarding getting a guide price and valuation for the property. Laura was very efficient, calling to confirm before the appointment and arriving on time, and was a wealth of knowledge. All questions were expertly answered and Laura was able to offer me plenty of information that I didn’t even know I need. Perfect service from a business point of view. However her real strength lies in her spectacular personality - Laura was friendly and happy to help and a pleasure to spend time with

We had a pleasure to deal with mortgage advisor Christopher Roberts. His advice and support were in place through all the stages. He showed us more options and guided us to make our move possible even in current difficult market. Always provided us with clear information and instructions.He acted fast on our case and put things in place for us always on time. I am happy to recommend Christopher as a mortgage advisor. Thank you to Chris and all Connells staff for good service.

Bullied & Lied To!

Against my better judgement, I was persuaded to sell my house with Connells. It was the worst decision I made. One particular staff member was aggressive and bullied me throughout the whole time. They were only on the buyers side and did not help me at all. We were manipulated and lied to, and what is a stressful experience was made even more so by that staff members actions. I was on the point of a breakdown by the time we moved. I will never use Connells again, and would advise people to stay well clear.

Connells Falsified my Valuation Report!

Connells did valuation report on my house recently. It is a comedy of errors by this company. Firstly, they tried to falsify my report by adding that my property was in a flood area and had previously been flooded. All of which was proven to be incorrect and instead of altering the valuation report to suit this they refuse.

Time Wasters

I booked in to view at property with Connells on Saturday at 11am. I arrived 5-10 minutes early, after a long journey and waited for the agent to arrive. When no-one turned up, I called the office twice but there was no answer, so I left a message. I eventually had to give up waiting as I had viewings booked in with another agency.

Very professional, knowledgable and trustable. Always kind and ready to help out with anything, from the beginning- arranging the viewing, Sam was brilliant at showing me everything I wanted to see in the flat- until the very end and he handed me the keys and answered any questions I had! Got me out of a very difficult situation and helped me find a flat very quickly and efficiently. Would 100% recommend connells. Once again thank you very much Sam.

We are absolutely disgusted with the way this situation has been handled. We placed a deposit on a park home in good faith, fully expecting that we would be kept informed of any deadlines or time scales relating to the sale. The park manager had apparently relayed a time frame to the estate agent, yet this crucial information was never passed on to us.

A very unprofessional, untrustworthy service provided. I had hired Connells to sell my property but they couldnt. To start with , I had to chase them to advertise my property after a month of signing contract with them. When they did advertise it, the property has incorrect description and the video promised never was uploaded. The whole team Of Connells was replaced in early 2024 due to reasons I am unaware of but this led to zero communication between the agents and myself. When the new team came in only kept asking to drop the house price and arranged viewings when they can't attend. Gladly, I have moved away from them but would not recommend their service to anyone. A total waste of time and energy.

Title: Mixed Experience with Connells Property and Agent Harriete Ward

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)I recently had the opportunity to work with Connells Property, with Harriet Ward as my agent. My experience with Connells had its ups and downs, and I feel it's important to provide an honest review to help potential clients make informed decisions.Let's start with the positive aspects of my experience:Positive Points:Good Communication: Harriet Ward displayed commendable communication skills throughout the process. She promptly responded to emails and calls, ensuring I was always in the loop regarding the progress of my property transaction. This was greatly appreciated and helped alleviate some of the stress associated with property dealings.Outstanding Assistance with Queries: Harriete went the extra mile to assist with my numerous queries and questions. Her willingness to address my concerns, no matter how trivial they may have seemed, made me feel valued as a client.However, there were certain negative aspects that marred my experience:Negative Points:Procedures Left Until the Last Minute: One significant drawback was the tendency to leave crucial procedures until the very last minute. This lack of proactive planning left no room for addressing potential hurdles or issues that could have been resolved with more time. It created unnecessary stress and uncertainty, which could have been avoided with better organization and foresight.Inadequate Property Cleaning: When I moved into the property, I was disappointed to find that it had not been cleaned properly. This oversight was unexpected and frustrating, as I had expected a higher level of attention to detail. Having to clean the property myself upon moving in was an inconvenience that should not have occurred.In conclusion, my experience with Connells Property and Harriet Ward as my agent was a mixed one. While Harriet displayed excellent communication skills and was always there to assist with my questions, there were notable issues with last-minute procedures and the cleanliness of the property upon moving in. If Connells can address these shortcomings and improve their procedural efficiency, it would significantly enhance the overall client experience.I hope this review helps potential clients make an informed decision when choosing Connells Property and their agent, Harriet Ward, for their property needs.

Avoid!!!!!!!!!!!

Recommend this company is avoided! After my dad passed away, the agreement was terminated, Connells were aware of the circumstances yet this company continued to advertise our property without consent! 2 months later a letter was received to both my parents advising that the agreement was to expire 6 weeks later. When challenged it was advised that the letter was automated yet they didn’t recognise their own reference. If an agreement has already been terminated why are we receiving automated letters containing incorrect information. The Branch Manager was conveniently always unavailable when visiting the shop!This experience is getting 1star as I wasn’t given the option review with no stars !

For your sanity, safety, & financial security - STAY CLEAR!

For your sanity, safety, and financial security, please stay WELL CLEAR of Connells. Here are some reasons: 1. Dangerous Houses: We rented a house through them for 12 months while the sale of our property is going through and we look to purchase elsewhere. On moving in, we found the boiler to be leaking oil and was unusable - the air was absolutely filled with noxious fumes and we both had blood coming from our noses. Being pregnant, we couldn’t move in for weeks until it was all fixed. We still have not received recompense for this.2. Incompetent & Threatening: The landlord requested that we change the bank to which we make payments, which we immediately did. Connells then began issuing us with CCJ threats - and would not stop, despite them knowing we were paying our rent. While they eventually apologised, this caused a lot of stress given we were about to embark on a new mortgage and that this would affect our credit rating. 3. Inhumane and breach of covenant of ‘quiet enjoyment’: We have a rental agreement for another six month for this property, however the landlord wishes to sell it. Needless to say, no one wants to buy the place when there’s an active tenancy for another SIX MONTHS. However, someone has requested to do a viewing next week - on the very day our baby arrives. Up to now, we’ve said that viewings are possible if pre-arranged (which is not incumbent on a tenant to do and was us being kind), but have always been very clear that September and October were 100% out - this was agreed well in advance with Connells and the landlord. Tenants pay a lot in rent and part of those terms is a right to ‘quiet enjoyment’ of their property. At no time is this right more sacrosanct than during those first precious months with a newborn, and for me while recovering from major surgery. Personally, I’m not even having my family to visit until November, so to have strangers walking around my home while I’m remembering how to breastfeed, the baby and I are trying to sleep, midwives are changing dressings etc. is filling me with horror and dread. I would have thought in this day and age everyone would understand this. Both Connells and the landlord originally said ‘of course’ to this stipulation, but now they are going back on their agreement and have said viewings must continue.So the fact that we are now having to prepare for someone to view our home rather than the arrival of our child gives you a taste of the kind of agency they are! The correspondence we received about it yesterday told me that I need to ‘stay in the bedroom’ in the attic, as if I belong in a Brontë novel, or should somehow feel ashamed of new motherhood. So, to conclude, if you are thinking to sell with Connells, please think again, their level of competence means I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.If you are thinking of viewing a house with Connells, expect to encounter tearful tenants banished to attics who are in no position to have strangers look around their homes - you will not be welcome!And, most crucially, if you are looking to rent with Connells, expect dangerous houses, no privacy, breach of agreements, and potential life-long consequences to your financial security!

Renting a property through Connells has been a torturous experience from day one. When we viewed the property, it was remarkably unclean and there was an obvious leak from the loft that was pointed out and we were assured the property would be cleaned thoroughly and the leak looked at before moving in. We paid a holding deposit and were ignored for a week following this despite trying to contact Dale several times a day regarding referencing. When referencing was finally complete (which was a whole battle in itself), we didn't receive the keys on the day of the tenancy beginning because the branch didn't have them, an inventory was not carried out, and the property was in the same disgusting state with food left in the cupboards, the landlords rubbish in the garage, cigarette burns on the carpets, and the aforementioned leak still causing issues. On top of this, the boiler failed a month after moving in, and due to a "lack of funds"to replace this, we were left with no bathing facilities for 6 weeks - which Connells deem perfectly acceptable and not worthy of even a penny of compensation. Despite many repeated attempts to be sent these, we have not seen a copy of the gas safety certificate for the property or a supposed inventory that was carried out on the property. Most concerning, the property has no carbon monoxide detector and despite my requests to have this rectified, I have been ignored despite their legal obligation. Don't bother making a complaint either, Connells don't investigate or follow their own complaints procedure either. A shambles of a letting agency and I wouldn't recommend anyone I like touch them if they were the last agents on Earth.

We were looking to rent and found a property we liked with Connells. The pace at which things were sorted was just dreamy. Within a few days, paper work was done and we literally move into the property within that week!! I can’t thank Adam and Ambre enough for their kindness and understanding. They really went out of their way to sort things out for us. I remember Ambre having to come in early to hand over the keys so that the packers could start early and Adam also had to stay in late for some paperwork to be done on time. Kudos to the fantastic team! Highly recommended.

Great team in Watford Office

Recently bought our first home through Connells Watford branch, and cannot praise them enough. There were issues with their partner legal services, but Brandon from the Watford office was on hand and helped to ensure the process was as smooth as possible.At every step of the way, he was available and provided information guiding us through the process, explaining in detail exactly what we could expect and how we could manage it.Towards the end of the process, the legal side required lots of witnessed signatures, which Brandon was happy to do for us on numerous occasions, and continued to explain what everything meant and how it would work.This would have been a very different (and unpleasant) experience if it wasn't for him, so Thank you Brandon for getting us through it!

This branch has handled me terribly as a tenant. I moved in December and let Dale, the branch manager know that the previous tenant had left a huge corner sofa there via text. It is now MAY!!! and after countless calls and emails the sofa is STILL here. It’s such a massive inconvenience to get rid of and the branch refuses to do anything. They won’t call you back, which is strange because I seem to remember Dale calling me 3 times a day when I was ready to put down a deposit. I called Dale last week and he assured me that it has been passed on to head office, I asked him to CC me into an email confirming this but he didn’t because he’s a liar and a slime ball. Terrible experience as a tennant, just pay the little bit extra and get a decent letting agents that will take care of stuff like this.

Overall poor, bad communication and driven by viewings not sale

My property was listed in September, I had offers but was not entirely happy with the risk of one, though went with the advise of their branch manager. The communication and info was pretty poor, which ultimately led to the buyer pulling out in Feb, right when my offer on buying a house was agreed. Up to this point their performance was somewhat excusable, but Connells then seemingly chucked any random through my house without due diligence checks as to whether the viewer was in a position, or even able, to buy, which was extremely inconvenient. The feedback also showed clearly they weren't 'selling' the house, or answering questions, but this may be more a point on the viewers than the caliber of agents (who are generally pretty good though on occasion were a touch rude). This also meant I lost out on another house purchase.The past week, whilst on a training course working from home, I requested viewings to be cancelled, but Connells proceeded anyway, interrupting to a potentially detrimental result on my course. Once is bad enough but then two days later they arrived on another viewing, earlier than it even had been booked, that had also been cancelled, with my partner having just stepped out of the shower to see some random guy in my garden looking through the windows. One of these issues is excusable but not all continuously.I'd strongly advise using any other agent

Awful to deal with

We were asked to quote them for some windows in the NG2 area of Nottingham, we agreed a price, I informed them that we needed a contract signing and a deposit paying, I was asked to send the paperwork to a totally different email address, it was a maintenance companies email, we then received a call from a finance company asking if they could buy the windows directly from our suppliers, this immediately rang alarm bells, so I informed them that we would no longer carry on with the work, we then received a 1-star review on here, awful to deal with, phone calls to my mobile at 9pm, constantly messaging on whattsapp, I genuinely believe that we have had a lucky escape.
