Sophie has been great

Sophie has been great! I have relocated for a new job and she helped me find the best place that ticked all of my boxes - making the relocation run smoothly! Prompt communication and very informative. I was accommodated for when needing a virtual viewing which was very helpful.

2 minutes agoNEWI have had an appalling experience with Connells as a buyer. I made an offer on a property in March which was accepted. I believe Jack lied to me throughout the entire process. I got my mortgage offer immediately as Jack insisted on having it place before proceeding. The offer expired end of August so I asked Connels (Jack) what would happen in the event of reaching this deadline. He told me that the seller would move in with her son and effectively break the chain. This simply wasn't true. As the deadline approached I requested thiat the vendor break the chain. The reposnse from them was that wasn't going to happen as her son lived with his wife and 3 kids. After trying to find out about the status of the sellers putchace, coincidentally 2 days later the seller pulled out because their sale fell through. This again is according to Jack and I simply don't believe it. I should speak with the vendor directly and see what the position is. Thanks Connels, your lying and pushyness for my mortgage deal is simply going to cost me £1000s I will never buy a property through you again. And maybe have the guts to give me the news yourself next time you coward

I would give them -5 if the option is there

I am writing this review to warn other landlords about the severe negligence, hidden fees, and lack of professionalism I experienced with Connells' full management service.

We recently bought our first property and were fortunate to have Tom and Alex from Connells assist us throughout the process. They were incredibly helpful and patient, guiding us expertly from start to finish. Their responses were always quick and thorough, and their professionalism and knowledge were evident at every step. Thanks to their support, the entire purchasing process was smooth, and we had a great experience.

Long Contract

From the start my experience has been terrible with 32 weeks contract High Fee's do not enter or commit yourself into any long contract.you then have to lower the price they don't lower the fee.you are still left after this period with no sale.

From start to finish Matt has just been absolutely fantastic! His communication has been top drawer, keeping me updated at each stage of the sale of my property. He organised a brilliant photographer, arranged to have an EPC done and produced a fantastic advert to sell my property. I also saw Tom for a mortgage appointment and he was also fabulous, friendly manner and answered all my questions. All the staff at Connells are so nice and friendly, warm welcome when I first walked in and approached them about listing my property, I will go no where else in future and cannot recommend them highly enough!

Appalling Service from Connells North Swindon

My Son has recently purchased a flat through Connells North Swindon Office. I have not had a worse experience with an estate agent. It started off on the wrong foot where they credit scored and approached my son about a mortgage without his permission. There were some delays and challenges and we got a fair amount of help whilst we were still targeting a pre Christmas exchange. As soon as that was missed we had no support - assume bonuses are paid on completionsI'm used to the estate agent being there through the process and helping to resolve any issues encountered. No such luck here - disappeared and wouldn't respond. I also emailed and left a message for the branch manager to call me - surprise, no one did.This was his first purchase so needed support through the process - appalling service - avoid using if you are expecting any help and support. They seem to be solely focused on targets and bonuses

Unprofessionalism towards tenants

Rented a property from Connells, at the end of term landlord tried to exploit and grab the deposit and Connells acted like they can’t take any responsibility. Connells were the ones rented the property and should’ve taken some responsibility.

We went through Connells to buy our first house and both Matt and Tom have been brilliant throughout the journey. From day one they’ve made the entire process easy to understand, kept us up to date on where we are and our next steps, and always happy to answer whatever questions we have. We will definitely go back to Connells Tunbridge Wells in the future.

Tom won our hearts with the efficiency and speed he demonstrated in securing a mortgage for us. He was highly accessible, and communication was seamless. We wholeheartedly recommend him without any reservations.

Excellent Mortgage Advisory Service at Connells Cambourne

I recently worked with Andy, Connells Cambourne's mortgage advisor, and I'm thrilled with the service. From start to finish, Andy provided expert guidance, ensuring I found the perfect mortgage fit. His professionalism, clear communication, and commitment to customer satisfaction were outstanding. We finally purchased our first home. I highly recommend Andy for anyone in need of top-notch mortgage advice.

Landlord - full managed service - lettings

AVOID - I let my property with Connells for over five years while I was living abroad. I can honestly say that this has caused so much extra stress. Absolutely no point having a managed service. Everything was difficult, they can't organise anything - I mostly ended up being put in touch directly with the tenants to organise anything needed. They also try to con you out of money at every opportunity. Sabotaging efforts to use my own (trusted) contractor to force me to use their own at a much higher rate. They recommended someone who never provided a receipt, leaving me out of pocket. I would have changed but it was difficult to do from abroad. I can't believe they are still in business.

Had my survey today and honestly…

Had my survey today and honestly couldn’t have felt more at ease. Super kind and polite throughout, even complimented my home. Came prepared with ladders for the loft, wore shoe protectors, and even helped put the hatch back that I couldn’t.

Sadly, zero stars are not possible.

We purchased our home June of this year and engaged Connells to complete the survey which would determine whether or not we would finalise the purchase. The survey comes back, and it’s clean! The property was considered in excellent shape, and windows and floors “in good working order with no repair necessary.” Upon moving in, we immediately discovered that the survey was not, in fact, clean. There were serious issues which require immediate replacement and / time or repair, all of which would have been easily spotted by a competent professional. The total bill will be approximately £15,000 to repair the damage. Would not have proceeded with the purchase had the survey accurately represented the property. You have been warned.

I have really only dealt with Matt and Hamish and find them to be incredibly helpful, professional, informative and personable. Matt particularly has guided me through every step of the process in selling my house (as the more more senior figure), so far. They both have a very personal approach and I'd highly recommend them. They work very well together. It's more than just a job to them, they enjoy what they do and helping you to get where you want to be. I'd certainly try and use them again in future, if I need to.PositiveProfessionalism

I have just sold my property with tunbridge wells branch of connells and I'm very pleased and impressed with their service from start to finish. I dealt with Matt the most and he was so helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble. Especially my odd questions, he still helped with a smile. I really felt that myself and my property were in safe hands with Matt and I would recommend him and the branch to anyone looking for an estate agent. Keep up the amazing friendly service. Many thanks again for all your help during a stressful time.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

I’ve recently rented a property through Connells, and I’m so happy with the results from them as an estate agents and the property itself. From the first time I spoke to Hannah she was very attentive, and helped me massively with everything! She answered all my questions and phone calls, which made it all run smoothly. I have just moved into the area which was a little daunting, but I felt at ease with everything and I couldn’t thank Hannah enough for all the help. I highly recommend Connells if your moving to Tunbridge Wells 🙂PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

fleas...

Moved into a rental property that was not ready on time, then moved in at a delayed date to find the property wasn't clean and the broken oven that was meant to be replaced was still in there. Within three days, we discovered the house was infested with fleas and had to leave with all our belongings still in the home. We had an agreement that the tenancy would be terminated immediately and monies returned to us and had to wait until the house had been professionally treated to be able to get any household items out. Refund kept being promised by the branch, yet was nowhere to be seen, after making a formal complaint to head office - we now finally have our funds paid back after three months from the date we moved out. Everything that could of gone wrong with this rental experience, did indeed go wrong. Staff at the branch were polite, just everything was handled in the most shambolic way ever. Wouldn't recommend from my personal experience.

Stay away from them

I used their service for let only because their price was cheaper than other estate agents. It was a simple process. Pictures were already online and the tenants were found the next day. But the communications afterwards were poor, staff dealing with it totally locking of professionalism and responsibility! I had to keep calling their manager in another branch to ask what was happening and chase the result. On the day the tenants were supposed to go to the branch to get the keys, the shop was closed! Even it was a normal working day and no reason was informed! I will never use them again!

Never again. The Worst. Connells Survey & Valuation ltd

I wish I had seen all of the reviews (on here) before I decided to use Connells. I would have saved myself a lot of headache, stress and money.There is no point telling you everything which is so bad about this company, because it would take too long and most has been covered by other reviews, but to avoid the pain of what I went through, I will respectfully and caringly warn you; DO NOT USE THEM FOR ANYTHING.I hired them for a property valuation. From the very beginning I should have followed my gut, but I didn't because they were the only ones who where able to give me an appointment within the time scale I needed. Big mistake. They were cold and fairly rude on the phone, almost like I was bothering them and they wanted me to hurry up and get off the phone. Needless to say, I still booked with them, hoping that was a one off.After paying for the survey booking, I was not contacted with a confirmation date or update of any kind. I had to chase them up and was eventually given a date. The day before the scheduled date, I receive a message stating a different date to what was agreed. I contact them to inform them I was given an incorrect date. With no apology or understanding, I am told that the date had to be changed because of available and that's it. This really angered me, due to all the arrangements I had to make in order to make sure someone was in my property to give them access. But I still went along with it, out of desperation. Needless to say, when the surveyor arrived, he refused to do the survey because i was not personally present; even though it was specifically arranged and agreed for the estate agent representative to be present, 7 days prior to the appointment. I'm sure you can already imagine what I was feeling and saying, once I received my estate agents call. When I called up Connells, they nonchalantly apologised and simply said I would have to book another appointment. When the survey did actually happen, I was told I would receive the report within 5 days. I waited 7 days and then had to chase them up for it myself. No apology of any kind was offered.Wait, I've not finished; upon reading my report, they had valued my property £30k less than another survey company and also £35k less than my neighbours property which had just sold.I could go on, but I will stop there.All I will say is that I will never ever use any of their services again and I will tell everyone I know the same.Look elsewhere if you want a professional, respectful and caring service. Connells are the worst I've ever experienced. There should be a no-star option.
