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.

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

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.

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

Poor communication. Go with another estate agent. Connels is hopeless.

TrustpilotThe perfect name actually CON-nells.
The perfect name actually CON-nells.I was happy till the day before move-in but since this agency is full of fraudsters; they lie and deceive you till you make any payments and once that is done with good faith then they start ignoring you because that's what con artists do.

Emmie Richardson is efficient and polite, dealing the rent brilliantly to the landlord' satisfaction.

Went to them to rent a house,booked a viewing. Got a call on viewing day that they had to rebook, i took another day off work for the viewing just to get another call saying that the landlord doesn't accept us because i get in work beneffits...this was meant to be disscussed after viewing not before and in my opinion Michelle has this house put asside for some of her friends. Totally unprofessional

TrustpilotCon - nells
Put in a offer with connells estate agents and basically forcing our hand to use there in house mortgage adviser or else they wouldn’t put forward our offer, we had all or correct documents and a mortgaging principle. Which I later found out was illegal! They basically told me I’m not interested in the house due to not using their in house mortgage adviser.

Would not book a viewing for a flat without first making me come to their office to push their own morgage advisor who comes with a £599 price tag. They said that this was due to them recieving too many "time-wasters".

TrustpilotStill awaiting refund
Was informed i would receive a refund of my holding fee from the plymouth branch for a property that was taken off the market. Have still not received this a MONTH later and am stuck in a loop of the branch blaming the accounts department and vice versa. Also have been informed that i am only due a partial refund even though i never received any services from them. Do not trust.

The worst Agency to deal with was running late to meeting that was arranged only 20mins prior to me leaving and this is at peak traffic, the guy was so rude because I was going to be late, would not let me speak kept talking to me how bad I am. Worst Agency ever will never sell or buy through them ever

TrustpilotANDOVER OFFICE
Phoned twice to obtain information on a property they are marketing. No information received. The property is being sold by their online auction house who they blamed for poor service. As I have a large rental portfolio and am a cash buyer I have now left a note for the owner at the property to contact me directly.

YellNot again!!!
Nearly a month later and I'm still trying to reach this takeaway. Yet again, they are not answering the phone. Believe me, this is not a busy area. You would think that they would want the business. I ended up with a reliable Pizza. I won't try this company again as I was trying for half an hour, yet again I would advise you all to give it a wide birth.

TrustpilotWorst Agent Ever
Awful communicationBooked viewing in person but then 8 minutes before the confirmed time another email arrived to say that this would be a Desk Top Valuation - meaning agent would not even attend the property to view. What a waste of time!!!
1/5
TrustpilotAbsolute waste of time
Absolute waste of time. Pressured into using in house and when we didn’t went with another buyer!! Got all our paperwork sorted for nothing!! Used the Cannock branch and would never use them again if we didn’t have to, and certainly wouldn’t use them to sell my property. Let down massively. Messed around. Never got back to us we were always calling them.

TrustpilotGot to be the worst surveyors
Got to be the worst surveyors I’ve ever dealt with. When I apply for a mortgage this embarrassment are always the ones who ruin the process. They don’t value the flat, they value the street with their eyes closed. Anyone could do their job. Hopeless. They’ve obviously got a cheap contract with these mortgages companies, to save mortgage companies from paying the full loan to value.

There are bunch of crooks liar We had three valuation they’re all pretty much was on the similar price when these guys come to do your survey for my flat don’t lie to the lender so please if you have these guys to come to do a survey told to F off because it will let you down they are racist and rude.

TrustpilotDO NOT USE. These are liars and frauds.
DO NOT USE.After agreeing to let a property to me, they phone 1-week before the move-in date to inform me that they have let it to someone else, despite my having paid the 'holding deposit'. To make matters worse the agent giggled down the phone as she informed me that I was a week from homelessness.Evidently the holding deposit is worthless and offers a tenant no security.

TrustpilotThere survey report was rubbish and…
There survey report was rubbish and full of assumptions rather than facts. Since moving into the property we have serious issues which should have been reported.There lack of response speaks volumes.I have a brain tumour and advised not to get into stressfull situations alas they have made my heath worse. I have complained to RICS and I suggest others do the same.
