GoogleThey are great when everything benefits them, but if you need anything, like photos you paid for, they turn into the worst. In my experience, Mr. Stevie Seymour came across as very arrogant, which made the situation even more frustrating.
Answer to comment bellow:
I asked for rent guidance in good faith, as I have done before, and I have brought business to your company over the years, including recommending multiple clients who used your mortgage advisers. Your reply ignores that history.
The photos I used were paid for during the last marketing, yet instead of a constructive discussion, I received unnecessary pressure simply because I chose to market the property myself.
Based on my experience, I now recommend using an online letting agency, better service for a fraction of the price.

We are sorry to see your review and have now responded to you directly with regards your complaint. You contacted us for up-to-date rent guidance on your property, which we provided. You wanted to use our 4 year old photos, to market your property privately; we advised you that guidance says marketing photos should be no more than 1 year old and therefore asked you not to use these photos.
We are confident that all our communication with you has been in a courteous and professional manner and that your review does not reflect the services we provide. We are sorry that you are unhappy with the free advice and guidance we have provided. Regards Field Palmer Lettings.

GoogleOur experience with Field Palmer Lettings during our move-out process was extremely frustrating and unprofessional, particularly due to the conduct of one staff member, Mr. Stevie Seymour.
After our new letting agency requested reference checks, we waited several days without receiving a single response, despite multiple follow-up emails and phone calls. While we understand that it was the weekend and that the team has other clients to assist, a simple acknowledgment or confirmation that our emails had been received would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, we heard nothing.
When I eventually managed to speak with Mr. Seymour, his attitude was dismissive and condescending. He spoke over me, refused to listen, and abruptly ended the call. He terminated the call before the conversation was concluded. For someone representing the company, this kind of behavior is entirely unacceptable.
To make matters worse, we were only informed, after several delays, that reference checks would not be completed until a £680 re-letting fee was paid. This crucial detail should have been communicated clearly and upfront. The lack of transparency nearly jeopardized our ability to secure our new home. I was told that a breakdown of the re-letting fee would be sent to me, but once again, nothing was provided.
As of writing, we have yet to receive proper communication regarding the remarketing of our former flat. I was even told that I had failed to respond to messages about property photos, yet I never received a single call or message. The only contact was a vague, blank email from Mr. Seymour, which reflects the careless handling of the matter.
The only person who conducted herself professionally throughout was Ms. Tessi Callus. While her responses were delayed, I still appreciate her efforts and commend her for her calm and professional demeanor.
Unfortunately, this negative experience at the end of our tenancy overshadowed any positive aspects of our time renting through Field Palmer Lettings. The company, and especially Mr. Seymour, needs to seriously reconsider how they treat outgoing tenants. Based on how we were treated, I would not recommend Field Palmer Lettings.
I’ll be posting here with any updates regarding our check-out experience.
Update: In response to the business’s reply
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my concerns and for acknowledging the experience I had during the move-out process. I appreciate that this matter has not been dismissed, as it is important that tenants’ experiences, especially those involving staff conduct, are addressed seriously.
However, I would like to clarify that contrary to your message, I have not yet received any response or acknowledgment from your team regarding the formal complaint I submitted to Amy Moore on 19th June. I have attached screenshots below for your reference, with red underlines indicating the key details and dates. As of today, there has been no direct contact made with me by your team, nor have I received the detailed response you referred to in your message.
I visited your Southampton Lettings office yesterday to return the keys, and I would like to especially thank Ms. Terri, who approached me and kindly spoke with me in person about what happened. I truly appreciate her professionalism and her willingness to engage face-to-face, especially given the lack of communication from the rest of the team.
In regard to the £680 charge, I would like to clarify that I simply relayed the information that was explained to me at the time. Please see the attached screenshot where this is stated for your review. If there was a miscommunication on this matter, I trust that it will be addressed clearly and transparently.
Lastly, I look forward to the outcome of your investigation concerning the staff conduct involved in this issue. I am more than willing to escalate this matter further if it is not handled appropriately at your level.
Thank you for reaching out to me regarding this, and I hope to receive a more comprehensive and direct response soon.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We have also been in direct contact with you over this matter and written to you with a detailed response to your complaint. We do offer our apologies for the experience you’ve had during your move-out process. We truly value your feedback and regret that your final impression of Field Palmer Lettings has been a disappointing one.
We want to be clear that the £680 you refer to, was a landlord compensation payment, for an early tenancy termination, this was not a 're-letting fee' as you say in your review.
We are particularly concerned to hear your comments about the phone conversation with a member of our team and this is being investigated. We are sorry you felt dismissed or spoken to discourteously, this is not the level of service we strive to provide. On a more positive note, we appreciate your kind words about Terri’s professionalism.
Finally, We want to assure you that the checkout process will be handled impartially and professionally. Your feedback has been noted, and we are committed to ensuring that your final experience is handled with care and respect.
Best wishes from Field Palmer Lettings

Googlecontacted Fields Palmer regarding an ongoing issue with my intercom, which has not been unresolved for around 3 months.
During my call with a staff member (Stevie Seymour), I found the communication unprofessional. I was repeatedly spoken over and not given the opportunity to fully explain my situation. The call was then ended before my query could be properly addressed.This is not how you treat people in a workplace !
This has been a frustrating experience given the length of time the issue has been outstanding. I would expect better communication and a more helpful approach when trying to resolve a long-standing maintenance problem. This is unacceptable. Will be taking this further.

GoogleAvoid at all costs. I've just ended my 7 year tenancy with glowing inspections from start to finish, plus never defaulted on payments either.
They are now withholding my deposit stating it smells of smoke when I've never smoked indoors in my life. Absolute liars.!
They have also got an issue with the smell of my pet, yet I followed instructions and had all carpets washed!
My advice to anyone would be, don't pay your last month's rent, tell them to use your deposit! That way, they can steal nothing from you. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Hey ho.
Don't trust these people. They will do anything to keep your deposit! See you in court🙂

GoogleJust wanted to say I've been a Tennant who's landlord provides services through Field Palmer since 2008. We've been extremely lucky to have received good communications, empathy, understanding and flexibility during these years. We have 6 monthly checks although many find this annoying/invasion it's part of their role and keeps houses checked for faults damage etc which we accept. Always friendly on these home checks and more recently Sarah Thompson is really prompt when arranging professionals to fix faults.
I would recommend and so far have no complaints.
