Full of talk, no actions..

Exactly as the title says.. They will promise you the world until you sign with them. After that, you are prisoner of their incompetence. No proper communication, no sales skills what so ever. And most of all, full of excuses, to cover their lack of market knowledge. Everybody can sell a cheap house and that is exactly what they want to achieve. A cheap sale, pocket their undeserved commission, and go on to the next victim. I suggest you find an online agent and try and do the viewings by yourselves.

Strood branch dreadfull.

Strood branch dreadfull.They bang on how good they are all they want is you to sign up to sell with them.I wanted to view a property with them Nancie said it was 10 days before we could see a property. I said I would like to buy and sell with same agents. Funny they could value our house following day. Wrote a letter and delivered by hand saying what I was looking for no response Then find 2 suitable bungalows ask to view was told 10 days before I can view.Found a 3rd property e mailed Nancie twice does not even reply.I guess the sellers fee must be £5000+ and people are marketing property with them and have no idea they are making them wait 10 days to viewDecided no point even looking with this company anymore.We have sold our property via Ewe move fantastic service from first phone call sold in under 48 hours

Rude service representatives

I engaged with Robinson Jackson a couple of times for sales enquiries and to view properties. I found their service representatives very rude and dismissive, visibly annoyed at my enquiries over the telephone. On top of that, following my contact with them, I was added to their mailing list without being asked for explicit consent.Although they seem to have a good grip on the local market offering, I believe they should really do an effort to improve their customer service.

Best Estate agent in area!

This is the third time we have used Michael Robinson and Jackson and each time they have been excellent. Sold our house(s) each time within two weeks, to buyers who were genuine.The sales progressor kept us informed throughout the sale(s) and pushed the buyers solicitor when required.Kept us informed by email and telephone.They are slightly more expensive than some but it’s a price worth paying in our opinion.Great service, great marketing and great staff (during this very difficult time).Thank you! (Once Again)

Not helpful at all

Me and my husband was trying to rent a property via Robinson Jackson, we found a property on Rightmove and called, the number on rightmove is their help desk and the lady there said she's putting us in contact with one of their agents but just didn't. After we finally started the enquiry, we were asked to provide our own credit own credit check and we have to put in sooo much personal info into a website we don't really trust. They also specified Experian identity to use for credit check which made the renting process so hard. We had to give up the property in the end.

Absolute bell ends from the welling…

Absolute bell ends from the welling branch Tony and scott could manage the toilet ques let allow be management. How a company can have these 2 represent them is beyond me. Just shows the standards they have. See below not just me look at all the reviews and the sad thing is no one even above them cares. Be very careful as they also take back handers from property developers so they will constantly lie above properties and offer. Very unprofessional, very poor communication skills and will make buying your home a nightmare. Stay away from welling branch and try others if really desperate but believe me and the others who have written on here they are a disgrace. More like the chuckle brothers or dumb and dumber. The 1 star is way too high for this company. Buying a home is meant to be a pleasant experience and not a peasant experience. Shocking communication skills, no customer service skills, i am very surprised that the so called directors/partners conduct themselves in the same manner and there is a very poor complaints procedure. Customer reviews mean nothing to this company as if they did they would do something about the clowns they have in their welling office. I really hope no one goes through the experience i have with them and also i would urge you to put a review up so people can see how terrible they are. Most good reviews will be from people selling their homes but look at the one looking to buy?? They may advertise as they have the most properties but they forgot to state they have the worst service and no care attitude. Absolute disgrace which i can understand from the sales manager as he thinks he is a big boy with a promotion on the cards but if u promote someone like that to branch manager shows the quality you hire. I would have expected better from the Branch manager but his head is stuck up Scotts a*** and he is struggling to pull it out. For someone to take the time to write this long review imagine how much they must have pissed them off.If you do see a property you really like try other branches to avoid disappointment as i cannot comment on their services but welling is an absolute joke full of clowns who think they represent themselves and not the company who pay their wages.

Absolutely Rubbish

They were managing (fully managed) my buy to let property. 1. They found a tenant with lower than market price, but they said the tenants are excellent people. Once the tenant left, I realised they had damaged the property, left a lot of rubbish, they destroyed an arch in the garden, etc. 2. During tenancy, with high frequency I had to pay for Robinson Jackson's contractors to repair various things, repeatedly, e.g., the lock for the door to the garden, or toilet, leaking etc. Every time I paid for a proper repairmen, but the problems kept repeating. Every time I complained why these problems are repeating, they said the contractor (their own contractor) knows me and he would call me to explain, which never did!3. Once the tenants left, the money that I could recover for damages was much less than what I had to pay for Robinson Jackson to repair the damages. 4. Theft by their contractors: They contractor charged me, about £400 for arch, they sent me picture that they have installed it. Due to lock down, I did not personally went to look. However, when the new estate agent company (Your Move) sent picture of the garden, I noticed the arch is missing. I have been chasing Robinson and Jackson for months to get my money back, every time they say we do not work with that contractor anymore. They say they need to get hold of him to see what happened. Nowadays, it seems somehow they know I am calling them and they do not pick up the phone!

Please for your own sake, steer clear

They quite literally could not be any more incompetent if they tried. It took them nearly a week to fix our boiler when we had no hot water. I should’ve known they weren’t going to be good when we showed up to pick up keys on our moving in day and they hadn’t even cut enough keys for the 3 of us. But in a nice cyclical nature, when my flatmate dropped off keys when we moved out, they had no idea we were moving out either.

No deposit back after 15 days, rude staff

No deposit back after 15 days. Agent disputing false details missing and charging net curtain £20, sink plugs£5, to glue small carpet corner £20!! No receits provided just link to amazon. No proves for what they want money. Didn't refund me a penny, not even the agreed amount.Trust me they are the worst - Branch Rainham, Kelly manager. The management team never listen, never to get hold of for complaintsI had to go to tenacy protection scheme and now on process with OmbudsmanWorse agency ever

I’d like to give a big thank you To all of the staff at Swanley. They have made selling our house a breeze. It sold within the first week of being put on the market. After the offer was made they have kept us fully informed regarding our sale also thanks to them we will be moved and in our new house before Christmas all I can say is if you live in the local area and want to sell your house you won’t be disappointed with the level of service you will receive.

Hi I have been more than happy with the service received by Robinson Jackson - Swanley. With numerous viewings of our property, we were unsure whether we were ever going to be able to sell; property location and parking being a few feedback we received. Robinson and Jackson were very detailed with the feedback provided, offering alternative options to appeal to potential buyers, based on the feedback received. Eventually, we were able to sell our property in Swanley, a the price we had in mind - over the moon! I would highly recommend you use this agency , due to their professionalise and perseverance to not give up on the sale, showing the same enthusiasm to sell our property throughout the lengthy process. Hannah, the estate manager and rest of the Team - a huge thank you!! Kind regards, Charm & Nadine

We recently had a visit from Laine Benn at Robinson Jackson. We were very impressed by how professional, knowledgeable, informative and objective her help was; she genuinely gave us advice in our interest rather than simply trying to get a quick sale for herself. Laine came very well prepared for the meeting and had done plenty of research about our property- even downloading planning permission details about our property and advising us about the best way forward. We are very grateful and can wholeheartedly recommend this company.

All I can say is Robinson Jackson Swanley are just amazing. All the staff were supportive, had fantastic knowledge and only ever had our best interests at heart. We were informed of progress and feedback every step of the way and having bought and sold through Robinson Jackson I would never use another estate agent and have recommended these agents to many friends who are thinking of buying and selling. Top class service. Thank you for helping us to buy our dream home. We are so happy and grateful to you.

I do not normally do reviews; however, I do make exceptions, when I receive really good customer service and that’s why I am writing one for Robinson Jackson @ Swanley. They helped me get the home I wanted and assisted me along the path, I had never travelled before. All the staff were very knowledgeable, and accommodating. Nice cup of tea on a recent visit to the office!! I would highly recommend these agents to any of my friends who are thinking of buying. Top class service.

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL

I was the buyer of a flat marketed by them. They delayed everything so much, gave incorrect information about the lease and service charges, and mistakenly copied me in on an email from the manager to a colleague saying I was mad and to ignore me. I was mad in that I was mad about the lack of service or any professional standards at all, which nearly lost me a good buyer.

As a first time buyer its always scary of the unknown when purchasing a first home, whilst we found a house through an online estate agent Josh at Robinson and Jackson was extremely professional and answered all our questions with honesty and provided us with much clarity. He listened to our needs and was understanding of our requirements. The properties they had available wasn't what we wanted but he made it a positive experience for us. I would recommend viewing through him and speaking with him about your specific requirements.

Not good enough to warrant the commission charges !

5 Stars to Tracey in the progress department, THANK YOU for all your help and understanding with our sale, you were fantastic particularly when things got very frustrating. Keep up the good work, you are an asset to Robinson Jackson.If I was giving a rating for Robinson Jackson in general it would be a 2 Star rating, without Tracey I would have withdrawn the sale. I don’t believe we were given the best advice regarding our Buyer, and feel the commission we paid was too high regarding the service we received, I could have done the same myself. The house we was selling was chain free, empty, freehold and in a good location. We have sold two previous properties through Robinson Jackson and was happy with the service, hence returning, we also used the Solicitors they work alongside of, who proved to be inadequate, to the point we had to have the Solicitor working on our sale replaced with another! The Solicitor our Buyer used was also appalling, maybe it’s Solictors in general. At one point I received an email at 10.45 PM on a Friday night stating something regarding the property which caused me not to sleep, and being a Friday could not talk to anyone until the Monday! I never did receive an explanation as to why this was sent at 10.45 pm.

Avoid like the plague

Avoid like the plague! Renting from them and they never send anyone for any problems. The last straw was today!! We have ONE toilet in the house between 3 adults, and the flush has broken, so we have no working toilet in our house! We called up Robinson Jackson and they didn't see this as an emergency and will be sending someone "probably" a day later. NO working toilet and it's not an emergency?? And get this... their solution? "Use a bucket" - I kid you not, the person at the branch suggested we use a bloody bucket as the toilet! I will be taking this matter to a higher authority, but this is just absolutely unacceptable!!

Absolute cowboys - Don't care about you as a customer - Just after maximum income they can make

Absolute cowboys - Accepted my offer on a property and just when I filed mortgage application and set everything in motion with lender, solicitor and others involved, these dudes came back asking to up the offer amount, not once, not twice but thrice till I decided to pull out of the deal. They clearly don't and wont represent your interest and all they care about is the max return they make on a sale. It's my first property and these sharks just tried to kill my dream of buying a dream home... their loss as other options have now come up. I have always heard several bad stories about sales/letting agents and this first time experience has just confirmed everything I hear about them. Wish I looked on here before even venturing into this whole sad ending rubbish. I know not to deal with Robinson Jackson in the near or distance future.
