AVOID AT ALL COSTS

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - BUYER AND SELLER BEWAREThis company is focused on one thing, their commission. They do the minimum they can to maximise their commission. EVEN CONVINCING THE SELLER TO RELIST THE PROPERTY WHEN ALL PARTIES ARE READY TO EXCHANGE AND ARE ONLY AWAITING PROBATE! They only let people who are registered with their broker offer. So, two sets of Β£699 (!!!!! application fee when other brokers are free!!!!), use their packs (twice the price than through lawyers), and services. They are incompetent, slow and completely unresponsive.

Donna from the Westbury-on-trym branch in Bristol has been amazing throughout our recent house purchase and we can not thank her enough. You are a massive credit to the company and have made our purchase smooth and easy and we are now the proud owners of our new home.

This parasitic vile company(high wycombe) put my house on the market without my knowledge or say so. I have done my research to find out on record that via Hurst, jnp and others in the vicinity have all had customers complain about the exact same thing done to them. Needless to say I'm coming to close you down. All the way to the top!.

Worst letting agency you can deal with…

This is one of the worst letting companies you can deal with. They are frauds, liars and unprofessional. They lied to me when renting my property, kept the money paid by the tenants for a month in their accounts to gain profit on it and kept lying to me about releasing the money. I called them several times to cancel the management and they kept lying about it and manipulating to keep taking the management fees and not to return any penny. They have no manners and respond after days and days of emailing them. No cross communication and they asking same questions.

Great communication, professionalism and intelligence.

Anastasija was very thorough, correct and quick to understand the requirement. Her range of options were just what I'd hoped for and even better too in that she presented an innovative shorter-term plan for me which was a better bargain longer-term. Thank you.Great communication, professionalism and intelligence. Human too!

Both Allan Carr (management) & Costas Stavrou (mortgage advisor) from Harpenden exhibited fantastic ability through experience to allow a swift and easy sales process. Will definitely return.

Worst service ever

Worst service ever, i have seen there ad their move in date was 17 sept 2022 i submit my initial booking amount Β£161 on 15 september, when i came from abroad they said no its not ready yet someone is already living in that apartment and will move in 4 days, after that their estate agent Terri Ann and branch manager told me you have to submit guarantor's Employement contract, pay slips, source of income, financial statements, passport, and also they told me to fill homelet's forms, i did it on time, then they asked for guarantors employers details and we gave them, Now today on 30 Sept 2022 Terri and Branch Manager told me your referencing in not done so if you pay extra Β£800 to landlord then she can let you in otherwise they will move with another party and we will not able to return your initial deposit, but they didn't tell me this during whole process, and i'm living in Hotel from 12 days bcz i dont have anywhere to stay, they are very cheap and unprofessional,

The worst company I have ever dealt with. I wanted to use this company to rent my property out. I had to wait 2 months for the first payment, all I got was excuse after excuse, when the property was handed back it was total mess and nowhere near how I left it. I Will NEVER use this company again. All they are good for is taking money, over charging you for service and making up excuses.

If I could give below a 1 start I would. A corrupt company that did not follow due diligence and the tenants they founds for our property turning into squatters and ruined our house. The company did nothing yet still charged a fee!! At the time we also rented a property and took us 11 weeks to get our deposit back. The house was spotless! We complained to the CEO who did nothing - didn’t even speak to us. A group of poorly trained teenagers running a company with no idea how to fix problems but great at writing invoices. Avoid at all costs

I have the best letting experience with connells

I have the best letting experience with connells so far(esp west bromwich branch). They made the process stress-free for me althrough my letting process. I've met different awful agents but connells gave me the best services. Their agents were really nice, supportive and helpful. I am definitely recommending connells to friends, colleagues and every other person looking for a good agent.

Yesterday I got a phone call from the…

Yesterday I got a phone call from the lettings agent. He told me that he would email me over the details to a FaceTime call. I waited a further 20 hours and received nothing. Not a single word. Not a professional email giving me ongoing details. I was told after ringing them up that this morning someone put in a offer that the landlord accepted. But I was going to place a offer last night in the FaceTime viewing? Olivia the lettings manager took and aggressive tone. She’s very sarcastic and rude. She shouldn’t be working in a people based job as she is very arrogant. She interrupted me several times. I even had to ask her to stop interrupting me. I was there to make a complaint not to be spoken down to. Nobody in that office knows what another person is doing. They lack communication skills within their team and with customers. My mother had previously spoken to the lettings manager olivia before and the moment she spoke to them and mentioned her universal credits (me and another earn occupant Β£110,000 annually through self employment) They shut her down. So this is a secondary complaint as there’s obviously some large amounts of discrimination at play. We will be contacting trading standards regarding this and we will be pushing for them to issue a fine regarding the illegal discrimination this company is legislating. DO NOT USE

The worst sale KAI in Basingstoke Branch

Suppose there is a rating of zero stars. I would love to give zero stars or even minus stars. Kai in the Basingstoke branch is a useless sale. He didn't even do what a property seller representative did. He pushed his responsibility to others, giving out the wrong MOS the first time with the wrong solicitor information.

It is a shame not having zero star

It is a shame not having zero star. The service is absolutely disgusting. To begin with they meant to start working in the office by 9am , yet no one picks up the phone until at least 9:30am.. that is if you lucky. They take your details to book you in for viewing yet forget to spell your name right, forget to call you and when you follow up they say it’s too late to show interest. They put a property on the market on the evening. Next morning 9am tried to contact them, however no one picked up. Therefore I went in 9.05am to the office where everyone chatting having meetings . One person took my details and reassured me that the property only gone online the evening and the viewing won’t start till following week and will be contacted. Little as I knew she never done anything with my details and when I called her a week later she told me it has been too much interest on the property and I can be on the waiting list. Disgusting….I am just ever so glad I haven’t gone with them after reading the reviews. Also glad it’s not just me they treated this way and just lied to my face.

I am a landlord and As soon as I made the payment for the contract fee, they totally disappeared for any support regarding some mistakes correction updated. neither by email nor even on the telephone I didn’t manage To get in touch with them. In fact for about 2 weeks no answer, then the day before the beginning of the contract they promised they would have fixed by the following day. The day of the supposed beginning has passed and nothing happened.Terrible experience, terrible service and lots of stress because of them

Very poor for letting landlord properties. The management department failed to deal with issues to the property. Staff come and go and always a new person that needs to be brought up to speed. Landlords pay letting agents to help and in this instance I felt they were an unnecessary middle man making the problems worse and should have been paying me. Definitely poorer for using them.

Lack of integrity……..

Hinckley Branch. After numerous complaints to get my rent back from them, their inability to follow simple instructions and their charges never been the same from one month to the next I’ve now take my properties elsewhere. The last straw was me catching them in a lie, they continually were unavailable when chasing my money. I then swapped to my daughters phone as was put through straight away. Lots of reputable alternatives in Hinckley I’d recommend using them.

Disgusting service

Carried out a survey on my property undervalued it by 25000. Arrogant man showing off with trainee, attended my property. Devalued my home leaving the shortfall unaffordable for most buyers. Playing god with people's lives would recommend Mortgage providers stay clear.

Faversham Branch - Jade Dever

Jade is great. Refreshingly honest and straightforward. She sold my house quickly for more than the the asking price. She is diligent and helpful, even contacting me during her day off when something came up. I can't thank her enough and highly recommend her and the Faversham branch.
