TrustpilotAvoid this letting agency if possible
Avoid this letting agency if possible. Incredibly vague with details, lots of miscommunication and very slow to process deposits and paperwork. Paid a deposit, submitted lots of paperwork and then heard nothing back until we were suddenly told that someone else was going to take the flat unless we paid more, basically extortion as this shouldn't really be allowed as it negates the purpose of a holding deposit. When we moved in we were only provided with one key, and after two weeks of asking, they eventually got round to giving us another, only after I highlighted that failing to do so may constitute breach of contract as it was essentially withholding access to a property and facilities that we were currently paying for.

TrustpilotPoor Transparency of Let only Fees BEWARE
I instructed Century 21 Royale Surbiton on a Let Only basis. During the sales process, the Let Only/Tenant Find service was presented to me as "6% + VAT paid once upfront", and my understanding from the documentation provided was that this was a one-off fee for securing a tenant.

TrustpilotCentury 21 Bedford is a scam
Century 21 in Bedford is ran by a scam lord not a landlord, they steal deposits, refuse to provide heating. They will happily illegally let flats with damp, mould and fungus growing in the floors. They refuse to repair anything properly and don't use qualified people to do the repairs.

Good afternoon Andrew,
I can only apologise if you feel you had an unfair experience each branch is an indepentently owned and operated franchise.
I have since spoken to the branch who mentioned you left the apartment a number of months ago due to needing a bigger apartment but they mentioned that the issues you experienced were repaired for you during the tenancy. I am happy to discuss this with you if you prefer?
Regards,
Sam.

Horrific experience. Used the Cobham branch back in 2024/25 and the deposit was taken by Dylan and never returned. He had not put into the Mydeposits scheme as per contract and now we are missing over £1200.

Hi this is Australia, the 21 century hills district, they monitor the Google reviews, whenever they can guess the person leaving bad review or 1-3stars, the principal threatens the person to be sued unless the person put them down asap.

FacebookReal Estate consultant, 62 years old, married and with two children of 32 and 39 years, respectively.
The taste for management, but mainly by the interaction with people and the taste of being able to help develop the potentialities of others, led me to perform functions in the areas of human resources and finance and, at the same time, develop activities Business in the areas of consulting and accounting.
In addition to all these activities I exercised municipal functions during two mandates as vowel and substitute of the President having under my responsibility the Treasury, human resources and housing.
Being collected as ENI to perform activity in the insurance area, I embraced the project of CENTURY 21, which allowed me to achieve personal fulfillment and contact with people.
I have guided all my personal and professional life, based on ethics, professionalism, competence, responsibility and, still, in the individual respect of people.
These were the values I found as a motto in the 21st CENTURY (Alvaliving).
People, people,

FacebookI have been renting for 14 years in the UK and century 21 Slough is perhaps the worst estate agent I have come across in my life.
I was shown a new one bed flat and it was empty, When asked about furniture i was told that it’s a ‘luxury’ flat and furniture will be very good and similar to the picture they put on the website from the Showhome. But when I got the keys, the furniture was almost ‘cheapest possible’ one can buy and not only that it’s still missing few things. When I complained them about it they say you should speak to landlord. Which is completely unfair as first they told me to move in and furniture will soon be completed. Also, it’s not a maintenance matter but I was told a lie by the agent. I feel cheated.
No ethics at all !
Unfair and Unjust !!

Just recently rented a property with century 21 (peterborough) trying to get Information, housing issues sorted or even trying to talk to the one person you need to is impossible. Everyone just fobs you off you wait days for a call back or reply. I regret getting a rental through this company and at the point i have been moved in a week and ready to find a new house due to the service. It's shocking.

Good morning Chloe, i have spoken to the office about your review and they have assured me that they have made contact with you. They have sent their apologie as the property manager was out on inspections and couldn't come back to you sooner than he did.

The manager and employees at century 21 are a bunch of rude, incompetant , money grabbers. They tried to charge me £1008 when I left my property. My property was left in excellent condition. New kitchen floor. New living room carpets. Do not rent a property from this company. That is so so bad what they tried to do to me.

I dealt with Sunny from Goodmayes branch and found him very helpful throughout. From viewing the property within one hour we had gone to the office done credit check and all other paperwork deposit etc. He said a new kitchen would be fitted in 5 days plus all other jobs and it was even better than I hoped.

FacebookI was supposed to meet the agent yesterday as I fixed an appointment the day before. He never showed up and he didn't send any cancellation email. He didn't contact me and, on top of that, he either disconnected the phone or blocked my call. This is a clear example of a non professional team who doesn't care for their customers. Seriousness and competence are by far the worst ever experienced. I am happy not to consider any of the housing opportunities of this agency. Stay away from this, not recommended at all!

Could you therefore email with further details and your contact information to info@century21uk.com kind regards Century 21 UK

Maidstone BranchI cannot thank Century 21 enough especially Peter Lott. We had a few bumps along the way but Peter was always on the end of the phone for us and worked tirelessly to ensure we got our little bungalow which we absolutely love. We used this company for our buying and selling and would recommend them to anyone.

TrustpilotIllegal eviction! And all belongings disposed
Moved into a studio flat in Bedford at the beginning of October. Signed an assured shorthold tenancy agreement. I went away on the 22nd of to December to spend with family. I came back to the property in the 3rd of January. The hotel style keycard would not let me into the flat. I called Fiona (Aka Amna) who is the wife of the landlords son and acting as an agent. Fiona answered my call and After explaining my situation. She started to laugh and then started to swear . I explained I've got nowhere to go it's 9pm she just swore and like laughed like a child. She then told me all my belongings were thrown in the bin a week ago I checked and didn't see any belongings. . I've been made homeless with no legal prossess followed. Ally possessions thrown in the bin and unrecoverable.

TrustpilotAvoid at all costs!
Toowoomba Office staff are rude, argumentative, openly hostile & will use intimidation/threats regularly. When asking questions you can expect to be lied to, harassed and essentially blackmailed into an agreement that won't help & Century 21 won't bother to action on their end anyway. Double check your invoices! Everything is overcharged & padded out!Would never recommend.

TrustpilotCommunication is absolutely terrible
Also known as Symonds and Greenaway at least in Peterborough. They very rarely answer their phone. You can leave messages for them to call back, but they won't call you back. When you do speak to them, they will tell you they'll call you back with information on a property you inquired about... they will not. They do not reply to emails. Communication is just terrible all around.

Enquired about a rental which was advertised as pets accepted, phoned up, sorry no pets accepted. Passed through to another person, he said the landlord would allow 1 cat, but wouldn't check if he would accept 2. Very dismissive, very rude, felt like I was committing a crime or something by enquiring. After the phone call, the ad changed within 5 minutes and removed pets allowed! Even though they said 1 would be allowed. So they are robbing people with pets of opportunities, not because landlords don't mind, because they do.

I hope this review is helpful to some, especially young people moving out for the first time. Sorry it’s so long, but that’s how awful Peterborough's Century 21 is. This company have failed me time and time again. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and bite my tongue because I was so excited to just move out of my family home and gain some independence, I saw everything through rose tinted glasses.

I’m purchasing a property through Century 21 in Peterborough and I have to say they are indeed incompetent and rude. The communication is the worst I’ve ever experienced with estate agents. Since my viewing and then subsequent acceptance of offer back on 2/3 Feb I’ve had no communication from them at all. Only when I’ve called have I managed to get some answers to my questions. Really disappointed at being treated this way especially with snarky comments from some of the staff.
