GoogleI have rented through Ayers & Cruiks for over 12 years and have just signed up to another, smaller property as we needed to downsize. The process was very easy and staff go the extra mile to make the transition a smooth one.
The ‘fixflo’ system for reporting repairs that need attention is a good one, seeing familiar maintenance people is also a bonus as you build a good working/ trusting relationship with people coming into your home.

GoogleWe have recently purchased our dream home through Ayers & Cruiks. Nick and the team have been so helpful and have been really flexible with us with viewings on the property and also having architects round etc for various visits. Thanks Nick and the team for helping us get out forever home.

GoogleCan I just say that you have been one of the nicest and easy to deal with Estate Agents i've ever used. I thank both Jo and Carol very much for all their help and hard work. I'm well aware that during this time it can be very hard for a lot of business, but I have only ever found you to be extremely friendly and ultra helpful. I hope you all keep well and thanks again.PositiveProfessionalism

GoogleDeceitful management that only care about themselves and not their conduct. Went into their office in southend to complain and the woman said I was being aggressive. I wasnt being aggressive. She was just minimising me because she, like her organisation is incompetent by my experience.

GoogleAbsolutely terrible service, I've never experienced such a pathetic letting service. We were told the apartment is immediately available, but we're only allowed to move in a month later! They are extremely slow to perform any and all services, and do not provide you with feedback or an update - you have to continously phone and email them the whole time to find out if your checks were approved, and continuously ask when are getting the contract, when can you move in, what is the status of the application. Basically you're doing half of their job. They couldn't answer half of the questions and requests regarding the property
Complete waste of time - do not waste your time and money, avoid them if possible!

TrustpilotAwful letting agents
Awful letting agents. They only want your money and an easy life. I rent a retail premises from Ayers & Cruiks and they make no contact regarding changes or any information at all. They are rude and aggressive and do not inform your landlord when requested. Do not lease your property through this company as you will be paying money for zero effort on their part.
