TrustpilotLeft awaiting an answer
Wanted to view a property they had for rent, we have a pet and just wanted to know if the owners would allow. Never got an answer, just ignored - RUDE. This then makes you wonder if you did rent from them and needed assistance how quickly they'd react. Even if a call to us had said we cannot get an answer to your question from the owners at least that would of been better than being ignored. Based on this I'd say avoid - Peterborough branch.

TrustpilotReading brunch! No quality, just excuses!
Reading brunch! So agent assume that previous tenants did not know how to use central heating (well as he), so is fair to not maintenance it (just switch it on) and be sure that property is in right condition for tenants and landlord. As he said I’m not engineer. He inform us that everything is fine it’s just tenants can’t set it. People who live in that flat before was an older couple with poor English so they betrayed their trust. Now we 3th months during winter without help from them carrying the radiator from room to room. Unprofessional low quality sad stain on company opinion. In contract you got duty to maintenance the garden and take responsibility for all equipment which they do not check.I’ll believe it’s a scam.

TrustpilotBedford Branch Absolutely Useless
Absolutely useless. Bedford branch under new manager but remain completely void of organisational skills, fail to respond to phone calls, or emails. Still sending quite threatening sms demands for rent payments, despite the fact property was vacated and appropriate notice given at the end of tenancy. Have tried repeatedly to get them to stop but they ignore all efforts. They just don't give a damn. Do NOT use these agents. Read the reviews, they are almost universally slated!

house was left absolutely spotless and in perfect condition I have a video as proof because I know what these company's are like, but yet this poor excuse of a letting agent have provided for keeping my disposit is disgusting I would not recommend using century 21 as they up the rent when your tenancy is up and pointing out pathetic things to keep your deposit, my mother is a landlord with multiple propertys and would be more than happy if she received her property back in the way i left century 21s property they give poor excuses like the smoke alarm battery is dead and a missing light bulb and dust on radiator cap and just general wear a tear which they higher a trade man from a third party company instead of letting have access to the property to fit a new battery and replace a light bulb and wipe dust of radiator cap avoid at all costs

TrustpilotAmateurs
My partner emailed regarding a property to let, they said they would contact her, they didn't. She rang them a few days later, still no contact from them. I emailed them and got a response within the hour. Working 12 hours, 5 days a week Its hard to view a property on an estate agents 9-5, the first person i dealt with weren't willing to accommodate this saying that 5pm is the last time they can really do and they don't work weekends. Booked for 5pm on a weekday. got the time off work to only get a call 15 minutes before saying that no one would be available as the viewing wasn't booked in properly. Re-arranged for a Saturday at 11am (even though they don't work). it got re-arraned again for the afternoon and the agent was still late. I understand that you might not make commission on a letting. but we definitely won't be going to Century21 for buying. amateur

Google0 stars out of 5 if I could! He consistently told us that he'd had lots of offers and we needed to raise ours. When we spoke to a different member of staff on the listed office number, he told us not a single offer had been made. 4 weeks after an offer was made, a mortgage had been accepted and solicitors were instructed, Peter Bennett waited until we had paid our solicitors their fees, paid £1500 for a extended survey and then had the indecency to email me at 8pm on a Sunday night telling me that he had sold the property to someone else as 'the whole process should have been completed in 4 weeks'. He also made derogatory comments about our female financial adviser working part time and being poor at her job.
When my partner went to the office the following day to confront him he hid behind a door and refused to come out. Absolutely disgusting service and cost us over 2k.
Since going to other viewings, other local estate agents have told us how Century 21st have a poor reputation and told us to avoid them.

TrustpilotPETERBOROUGH OFFICE
We recently rented a property with Century 21, I could not be more impressed with Ben and Nicole, both have gone out of there way to assist our move at such a stressful time. All emails / phone calls answered and dealt with virtually immediately. We had a minor issue with the cooker hood and shower and a tradesman was knocking at the door within an HOUR! I would highly recommend using them....

YellThey did what my other FOUR agents couldn't do. Sell my home
I found them (Century 21) honest and frank when needed. I had my property up for three years with four different agents. none of them seemed interested after i signed that contract.I met Peter at my house at 730pm on a Thursday. He certainly told me what i needed to hear; not not what i wanted to hear. But Wow, worth every penny of his sales fee. I now own three properties with the funds and i was able to reduce most bills down and have an income without the daily grind of 9 -5Thanks PeterPlease get your property valued with Century 21 Sutton Coldfield. They don't mess about.

TrustpilotIncompetent Halwits
DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT make the same naive mistake that I made and deal with this incompetent company. I’ve had issues after issue since picking up my key. Now they’re expecting me to pay over £500 to get out of a lease that they are not upholding. Absolute bunch of inadequate halfwits. Wish there was a -5 option

TrustpilotAppalling service
Appalling service. Called them four times over a one week period to arrange a viewing. Each time they said they would get someone to call me back. They didn’t and not once apologised for the poor service. Sent an email complaint to their head office but had no reply to this either. Have now given up trying to view this property.

Don’t use this company. Their dishonesty with invoicing when challenged resulted in an unprofessional response from a very rude woman.

TrustpilotAwful and unprofessional
Awful. Arranged a viewing. Called up the day before to check the viewing was still going ahead and was told that it was. I arrived at the property, waited over an hour calling the office. It went straight to answering machine. Next day no apologies - nothing! Completely unprofessional and a waste of time. Avoid at all costs.

TrustpilotMaidstone Branch Poor Customer Service
Briefly used Century 21 in Maidstone to try to sell my flat. No feedback on any viewings and no follow up when contacted. Very disappointing overall service. Unfortunately as I was talked into going with them as a multi agent sale it cost me with no return on my money. I wouldn’t consider ever selling with Century 21 again!
