TrustpilotWould give 0 stars if possible
Would give 0 stars if possible. Staff at the Queensway branch are appalling and unwilling to help! Constant problems but just brush their hands off. Half of them have no idea idea what they are doing and very unprofessional. Will never use them every again!

TrustpilotVery poor valuation
Very poor valuation. Took over 4 weeks for information to be passed onto mortgage lender. Lender advised out IfA that the valuer had used 'outdated terminology ' that lenders no longer use and he would not clarify any points in a timely fashion leading our 'portable ' product to run out of time. Poor professionalism

TrustpilotNOt even checking the window properly for £700
We asked for a survey with option, to cover any risk. When we moved in we discover on one window, the double glazing was not sealing and the window was full of humidity between the glasses. They replied their check is done on a sample of window not all of them.For this we paid £700.

TrustpilotPure hell
Awful service. Have rented my house through connells for the last year. The service was so bad it putt me off renting it out again. No communication. I had to chase up inspections. Rent payments. Was over changed for work they carried out. It's been a year of pure hell

Terrible company who tried re build a previous chain after agreement of a new sale. Thankfully we was one step ahead of connells and there plans didn't go as they had planned. Terrible branch very deceitful. Would not be buying or selling through them again.

Very disappointed with the way our house purchase was handled. During a very stressful time of lockdown/covid I felt the communication was either non-existent or aggressive and accusatory. Things did improve once the office manager became involved but it was a shame it had to escalate to this point.

TrustpilotThe Watford Branch
I have found the Watford branch to be poor as managers for my property. I was constantly dealing with different people; they lost paperwork and emails; were resentful and rude when asked to do anything and were huffy and even more unhelpful when I suggested I would be switching to another agent.

TrustpilotLandlords Beware
Awful experience using them as the agent for letting my property. Poor communication, underpayments, late rent collections, instances where I have been charged twice for services. Unprofessional, disorganised and quite frankly incompetent. Would not use their letting services again and would strongly discourage any other landlords from doing so.

TrustpilotThe worst agency ever
The worst agency ever. Have to wait for their reply for weeks and still the issue haven't been resolved. Had to claim a deposit back, as the tenants left the property completely destroyed, waited for three month and when it's time to get money for decoration, they just ignoring your emails.

Surveyor came out house was untidy Tennant had been unwell, rushed in to hospital. Surveyor proceeded to gove his opinion on how bad the market was and it was a shame the house was untidy, and then valued it at 8k under what it was valued at 6mths previous shocking

Totally out of touch with property prices. Homebuyers report a waste of time and money. Report filled in incorrectly and looked like it had been made on someone's home computer. I suspect there is deliberate under valuation going on with this company. Do not use.

TrustpilotAbsolutely disgraceful company
Absolutely disgraceful company. I can write a long story for you but let me keep it short. I lost a family home I was purchasing for my wife and son after 6 months in the process. All because of this company's incompetence. You are nothing to them.I urge you - please stay away.

TrustpilotChelmsford branch
As a landlord that rented a property through these guys, it took nearly 2 weeks to get rent money they collected, changed energy suppliers without discussing with me, didn't give all the keys to tennant, when I called office to complain they just acted like wannabe spives. Would I use again No

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.
