TrustpilotI wouldn’t even give one star
I wouldn’t even give one star. They have unlawfully charged us for a check in inventory despite not providing us with one - leaving us v vulnerable as landlords. Continually having to chase for response. Put in a formal complaint and almost 3 months later and a number of emails later - still no resolution or even a response.

Connells try to force you to an in person only meeting before a offer is allowed to go through. Extremely slimy and HEAVY pressure. Prepare for a in person meeting if you buy with connells

Trustpilot****You have been warned**** please…
****You have been warned**** please don't trust them, we put in an offer for a property the offer was accepted only if we used their own solicitors, Samantha the agent told us that if we use our own solicitor then the price would go up by 2k. Have informed ombudsmen and they need to look in to this practice.

TrustpilotA complete lack of Communication
Do yourself a favour and avoid this agent at all costs!!! They appear to either be completely oblivious to their already abysmal reputation or simply care little to do anything to change it. This agent will do little or nothing to keep you informed throughout the sales process and employ dated and/or verging on unethical sales practices to achieve their desired outcome.

TrustpilotWouldnt even give them 1 star
Wouldnt even give them 1 star. Absolutely appalling the way they spoke to myself on the phone. They spoke to me like I was a child. They wasn’t helpful over the matter that had risen. The sooner I can get out of this house and away from them the god damn better.

TrustpilotIMPOSSIBLE TO ARRANGE A VIEWING
I saw on Connells website a house I was very interested in buying. I kept calling them EVERY DAY to arrange a viewing. Spoke last on the phone with them today and being told they will call me back (same thing said few days ago) and no one did. Absolutely shocking. Worst estate agency.

TrustpilotViewing changed without letting us know
We were booked into viewing a 2 bedroom flat because we’re expecting our first child. Myself and my partner had to take unpaid time off work but the agent changed the appointment without letting us know

Trustpilot3* overall but 5* for Emily and Cameron
Conveyancing team messed up a bit which delayed the transaction and the team selling the mortgage services were pushy and annoying. BUT if I could give a separate review for Cameron and Emily they would get 5 stars, they were both delightful to deal with and went over and above to help us out!

GoogleThank you so much for the care and attention you have provided during my house hunting, Its great that you respond so quickly and take time to discuss my concerns and question. So extremely efficient and highly recommend dealing with Sharon Clinch and Tazmine who are super friendly and professional.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

TrustpilotCowboys taking kickbacks
Beware of any house sales involving Connells. They will appoint DC Law as solicitors (who are abysmal) because they take kickbacks from them. All deadlines missed. All emails ignored. No communication. Terrible company - avoid like the plague.

TrustpilotBad experience
I rented out two properties by Connells and they totally mixed up my account. They promised to refund my fee charge but I haven't received a refund in my account. After I called them multiple times, they said they would send a cheque for me but they didn't. It's been 4 months and I still haven't got my money back.
2/5
TrustpilotNo interest after sale has been made
Once the sale has been made all interest is lost in the property and service is non-existent. No sale progression or follow up. Very poor service.I was also recommended their in-house conveyancing team (conveyancing direct) who give a similarly poor service.I wouldn't consider using the Connells group again.

TrustpilotThe worst
Honestly the worst experience Ive ever had! From selling to letting they are absolutely useless! No one know what they are doing, no one cares, there unbelievably rude, there seriously unprofessional and terrible at there jobs! Do not use this company! They are a joke!!!
5/5
TrustpilotExcellent experience
Connells secured me 3 offers above expectation and were extremely helpful and accessibility throughout the sales process. Although one sale fell through (as a result of commercial restrictions on the property) Connells were very quick to drum up new interest and were on hand to deal with any concerns I had. I have no hesitation in recommending this company

TrustpilotIncompetent
The agent that was sent to do our viewings in Exeter didn’t know anything about the properties. Not the EPC, not if it was in a chain, not what the parking situation was. It’s already hard to accept agents’ dishonesty, when they’re also incompetent it really makes it an unbearable experience.

TrustpilotAbsolutely shocking
Absolutely furious with Connells under valuation on a btl property fully returned to a high standard costing 45k purchased for 220k so costs 265k yet Connells valued it at 265k...unreal when other property similar fetches 300 to 325k ....shocking company would never use them again and any lender associated with them.

Sale fell through and they won't give me back the money that i paid to the solicitors! That money never even reached the solicitors so it should be refunded but they are refusing. NEVER use them or their conveyancing team! Scammers and Frauds! Plus the money they took is more than the cost of usual searches.

TrustpilotTHIS COMPANY IS DISGUSTING
THIS COMPANY IS DISGUSTING. THEY WILL ONLY SELL A HOUSE TO YOU IF YOU USE THEIR MORTGAGE SERVICES & SOLICITORS - THEY WILL CONTINUE ON WITH VIEWINGS BEYOND ACCEPTING AN OFFER FROM YOU LEAVING YOU WITHOUT A HOUSE TO BUY. PROPERTY OMBUDSMAN COMPLAINT RAISED. THEY ARE UNDERHAND - RUDE- COCKY - TARGET DRIVEN - UNCARING ROBOTS.

TrustpilotCompletely useless
Completely useless. Avoid at all costs. 19 days after vacating the property and still no update from the deposit release team. There's always some excuse about either covid, illness, or maternity leave. You'd think this company is run by one person.
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.
