Trustpilotunhappy tennant
Renting my first property with them, was told it would be finished for the day I got my keys, 5 weeks later I’m still waiting for my cupboard doors to be fired, my shower to be fixed and the nail sticking out of my banister to be removed. They’re quick enough to take the rent out of my account although they put me in arrears as they never took my account number for future payments.

TrustpilotBeware hidden charges
Reasonably easy ride but no real surprise as a first time buyer and a chain free seller. Very annoyed at extra charges that were on back of the very small print in the contract, which were not pointed out and we assumed that buying a fixed fee service would be exactly that!

TrustpilotOvercharged. Watch Out!
Update: my landlord no longer uses Connells for any of his properties as they have been uselessI rented a property via the Exeter branch and was overcharged by £150 on the day I was trying to move in. The agent was rude, patronising and verging on threatening. I paid as I had no other option. When I made an official complaint I was refunded into my account with no apology. Extraordinarily expensive for very poor service.

TrustpilotJoke of a company
This company are an absolute joke...rude surveyor came and walked in with the smallest of introductions, spent 10 minutes in the house and walked out with the parting words, “the bank will be in touch”. Undervalued the property based on 2 RICS reports we paid to have over the past 18 months and now affecting our mortgage. Do not use. Apparently their valuations are “Law”. Laughable..! Can I do a minus review..?

TrustpilotFake marketing to gain personal data
They put fake properties for sale on Rightmove, using this way to gain personal data from customers. Don't understand why this kind of low value providing companies exiting in the market. Full of scammer and scumbags. Don't deal with them if you can avoid at all! Especially the branch in Warwick, absolutely disgusting.

TrustpilotI would not recommend Connells to anyone
The attitude of the surveyor was bordering on rude.The report contained some items that were inapplicable to this house, a badly researched, unnecessary and potentially hugely expensive recommendation regarding the roof, many items that were difficult to associate with the interior or exterior of this house and some recommendations that were simply mendacious.This company added to the stress of selling our family home of 25 years and added complication and anger to the experience.

Trustpilot5 Star
I cannot recommend connells enough. The whole process has been seamless from buying a new home and selling ours. Liam especially has always been there for any questions we have and nothing is too much trouble. Definitely 5 star service

TrustpilotSuperb service
I am first time buyer and like any other I found "all home buy" process very frustrating. It was very daunting till I went to Connells where I met perfect specialist and adviser Kasia Gawron. With her professional help everything went so easy and smoothly that I couldn't imagine it can be.One more time thank you, Kasia, for all your help and support during my trip to a new home.

TrustpilotNorth Bristol Connells
North Bristol Connells, My daughter and her B/F paid Morgage Broker 700.00 to end up applying for a 5 year Fixed 2.39% Nationwide BS Morgage with Nationwide, Product fee of 995.00, same Morgage available on Nationwide BS website @ 2.29%, thus if purchase concludes to completion daughter and her b/f will be paying Nationwide fee to morgage broker by virtue of slightly higher rate as well as having paid 700 fee themselves.

TrustpilotWorst estate agent ever
Worst estate agent ever. Wish I had read the reviews before using them.They gave me ad advice as to how to market the property and gave meno feedback on viewings I had to chase them all the time.The property only sold when I ignored their advice. They admitted they only tell clients part of the feedback. The only thing they were efficient at was presenting a bill for appalling service AVOID THIS AGENCY

TrustpilotPut a bid on a house
Put a bid on a house. Went to best and final offers. Subsequently found out despite bidding £10,000 more than other party and in better circumstances (no chain, mortagage agreed etc) we lost out. Turns out it was due to estate agents knowing the other buyers and wanting to give them a cheaper sale. Lied to seller about our circumstances to m to approve other buyer. Cowboys stay clear

Trustpilotbad customer experience
They do not update the status of the properties on the website and other platforms. Wasted my time enquiring unavailable properties. Nearly all of the property I enquired were no longer available. Also I think it is dishonest that they said the price written was for an unfurnished apartment, yet on the website said the apartment is furnished.

TrustpilotI’m so glad I’m not the owner of this…
I’m so glad I’m not the owner of this branch the closed sign is on the front door and the two staff that are working are sitting on there mobile phones, just walked passed 1 hour later and still on her mobile phone texting, very productive office. I would suggest who’s in charge of paying these staff start tracking there hours of no productive work

TrustpilotWould have given 0 stars
Would have given 0 stars, but Connells are just unprofessional, do not know what they are doing, i have sold my house in February and yet still not received payments and anything, they keep taking us round in circles, telling us a date then totally going past this and making it longer and longer, wish I never used this company as total numptys, never again

I worked for this company they promised me the earth in terms of support and marketing, when i got there I had two 17yr old kids with 0 experience and was left completely unsupported - they then sued me when I left for money back (Joke)DO NOT WORK FOR THEM MOST AWFUL COMPANY I HAVE EVER STEPPED FOOT INTO

TrustpilotNo Enthusiasm
My son is looking for his first home to buy. He called Connell repeatedly about a flat he was interested in and they didn’t make much effort to call him back or set anything up. In the end I had to call and arrange a viewing.Son and his dad went on the viewing. The agent was very halfhearted and didn’t show any enthusiasm about the property. Very underwhelmed.
1/5
TrustpilotPoor communication
Poor communication. Go with another estate agent. Connels is hopeless.
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.
