Prioritising its own interests over customers

Unauthorized carring out repair work, always don’t response to emails and even phone calls, unauthorized advertising the house. Misled landlord to use zero deposit scheme in order to benefit itself at the expense of landlords protection. Landlords need to pay more in order to get back basic cleaning costs after tenancy period. Please stay away from this company, no matter whether you are landlords or tenants.

I had an amazing experience working with Zara from Romans in Uxbridge while looking for a rented home. She was incredibly patient and supportive, especially as I was in the process of sorting out my visa. Zara guided me through every step, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I’m very pleased with the service she provided. If you’re looking for someone reliable and helpful to assist you in finding a property, Zara at Romans is the person you need!

Ayse Yerlikaya's support for the rental house ...

We have been looking for a house to rent for a long time, we wanted to work with Romans in this process and we worked with Ayse Yerlikaya from the Caversham Romans branch throughout the process. She helped us a lot, shared information about the region and provided a very high-quality service. With Ayse Yerlikaya's timely and correct guidance, we had the chance to rent a very nice house in a place we love very much. We would like to thank Ayse Yerlikaya and the Romans Caversham team for their support and interest.Thanks, Eyuphan

Great service from Donna-Marie Brant

Romans have been my property managing agent for 10 years now, and Donna-Marie Brant has been my Property Manager for just over a year. Donna is always a real pleasure to deal with and is super helpful and responsive. She is very professional and I believe acts fairly in the interests of both myself as landlord and my tenants. Issues with my property are communicated to me quickly and I feel I can trust Donna’s judgement and experience in helping to resolve problems.I have no hesitation in recommending Romans as property managers and special thanks to Donna, particularly recently with lots of things cropping up.

I had a really positive experience with Romans in Wokingham. John assisted me with viewing the property, and he was professional, friendly, and very helpful throughout the process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions, which made me feel comfortable and confident in my decision.

A Landlord's opinion

I chose Romans to manage my property due to the large scale operation they ran; "they must be fairly competent to have grown to their scale!" I thought naively. I also saw their competitive fees - comparable to alternative letting agents in the local area, another good sign. When marketing my property they were fantastic and diligently put the advert on rightmove. They received instant offers within hours of it going online. The pictures looked good and a letting agent showed people around the property. Within 2 hours of the advert going live, someone had paid the holding deposit and was happy with the monthly rent. I wished them well in their new home.Here is where the problems started. Roman’s sent a plumber to solve a leak and charged me handsomely for doing so, I expect that. They have to make their margin. I also expect a plumber to be able to find a leak. They did not. I still paid and had to send a separate contractor. After numerous emails all being ignored, I directed my complaint to head office who had it fixed in a jiffy, I was reimbursed. Justice eventually, but it was being ignored and having to email Romans head office that really grated me.Alongside that complaint, I highlighted my disappointment in the “bills transfer service” they sold me. I was under the pretence that when I pay them to transfer all utilities and bills to the incoming tenants, that is what they would do. No, they half arsed it and transferred some. Perhaps the TV Licence? I’m not really sure if they transferred any. Either way, in the recent 6 months of the tenancy I have been chased for hundreds and hundreds of pounds and ignored by Romans despite this “being escalated” over a month ago.If this were the fault of the tenants I would accept it and do something about it. This is a large corporation who have not got their affairs in order. For this service I am paying in excess of £200 pcm. I would categorically not recommend them. The kicker? If they had just told me what they were doing about it I would be content, even with the protracted timelines.Thanks Romans, would not recommend.

Romans - Solid Estate Agents

Romans overall seems like a large and well established estate agents with well setup services, a safe payment portal, and a lot of up front information. They have a lot of add-in services and deals with other companies such as broadband providers and appliance sellers which can be helpful.Ayse Yerlikaya was especially helpful as a letting agent, very responsive and clear. She helped get several things sorted out at the start of the tenancy, including chasing up a few things with the former tenant.My experience with them has been solid so far. The 4 stars is because I was strongly and repeatedly pushed towards a 0-deposit option that I did not want and chose not to take, and it was difficult to get through to the agents at the offer stage and referencing stage. This may be due to high demand in the area we moved into.

We have had a fantastic experience with Romans Woodley

We have had a fantastic experience with Andreea Covaci at Romans Woodley. She has been super helpful and went the extra mile to secure a rental property in the area for us. We are new to the UK and unfamiliar with process - but Andreea was very helpful and guided us through it. We are hoping our stay at our new place is going to be rewarding and happy. Thank you very much Romans for assisting us!

Arun went above and beyond. I felt that he was respectful and professional yet still personable. Always answered any questions or concerns quickly and efficiently. I've been really impressed with the service both he and his team provided. Such a stressful process made that little bit easier ..... thank you

AVOID

This company is absolutely appalling in the way they treat people. They seem to believe that a forceful and bullying type approach is the best and most professional way to deal with their clients. We desperately needed somewhere to live in April 2021. I was 37 weeks pregnant and I was in and out of hospital with hypertension. We found somewhere with Romans but despite it being empty (previous tenants had moved out) we were unable to move in. This was apparently due to works that they needed to do to the property. The day after we moved in, that’s when they decided to start the work that should of been done. I was 8 days away from giving birth and incredibly unwell but Romans didn’t care. Our apparent property manager Jagdeep blamed the lettings manager Ellie for not getting the work done. The works continued when I returned home with a newborn and recovering from a Caesarean. Romans didn’t care at all. We were very good tenants, paid on time and kept the house in a lovely order. For two thirds of the 1 year tenancy we had weekly 4 hour cleaners. We had gardeners 2 hours fortnightly, treated and jet washed the driveway. This was because even though it was rented, it was still our home. When it came to giving notice on the property I wouldn’t let Romans in to show people round as early as they wanted to. They didn’t “want the landlord to be without money”. I wouldn’t let them because of how they behaved in the beginning of our tenancy. Fast forward to checkout and the inventory clerk commented on the fact it was clean and even made reference to the fact the garage had been hoovered. We used professional oven cleaners, cleaners, window cleaners and gardeners. When the report came in it states that everything needed cleaning leaving us with a £432.00 bill. I suspected this to be because we would not allow them into the property as early as they wanted. This really annoyed the lettings manager. Do not believe that the inventory clerks are non biased third parties. It seems the inventory clerk used was in fact an ex employee of Romans. That is most definitely not unbiased. I was also advised by a Romans employee that the property needed to cleaned again anyway due to more works being carried out. In addition to this we saw on the report that we had left 1 drawer in the kitchen unemptied. This was reported to the property manager the next day. She tried to suggest that we could make arrangements after the cleaning costs were recovered. Eventually we made an appointment for me to collect the belongings. 30 minutes before the appointment I was called to say the contents had been removed and could not be located. Romans instructed their cleaners to dispose of everything stating it was our problem and we shouldn’t have left it. This drawer had some paperwork in including my babies birth certificates, prescription medication and various odd items. This is because I didn’t let them into the property. Their behaviour is absolutely disgusting and the worst bit is they are proud of themselves.The landlords friends live next door and thanked us for being fantastic tenants!

Sarah recently sold our flat in Crowthorne. Romans previously managed the property as a rental and Sarah managed the process of selling the property professionally and efficiently, liaising with colleagues, legal professionals and the buyers and always keeping us updated with progress.

Romans, in particular Nathan were excellent in helping me get a place to live in Tilehurst. The rest of the team were very helpful when I needed to sort paperwork out and get everything in order. I highly recommend Nathan and the Romans team.

We won't consider houses listed with Romans

If you are selling through Romans I'd like to point out you are missing out on viewings and potentially higher sales figures. Myself and my partner are looking to buy with a considerable budget, but we will now not consider viewing houses listed by Romans due to the pushiness, rudeness and ignorance of a sales guy in the Bracknell & Warfield branch.

Romans in Windsor... what a lovely group of people. I've been renting via Romans for the past three years, and have now moved to a purchased property using the very same agent, albeit the sales team rather than the lettings team.

Good start then very poor

> No communication once sold regarding further viewings by eventual buyer, when mortgage valuation or surveyor visiting (if this even happened on either account)?> Downstairs window left wide open on a viewing (easily access/size where an intruder could get into the property). Came back to house days after this could have happened. Complained to branch manager and never heard anything back, or an apology> Curtain rail / curtain brought down on a viewing(s) and neatly left on bed, never informed until I found this on going back to house. Complained to branch manager and never heard anything back, or an apology> My agent / move manager left earlier this year and I did not find out until early March when I asked for him within their office to hand over paperwork> Erected sold sign was bending wooden fence which after Storm Eunice made things worse. Could not get through to branch on three occasions and then call transferred to their head office. Assured sign would be removed as soon as possible (within 72 hours). Sign still there 6 weeks after and on day of completion.Update - Further to my telephone call from Romans, thank you for acknowledging the above.

Health ruined by mould; dehumanising experience

Health ruined by mould; upped rent £150 at the annual review and when I haggled this down, I was issued a Section 21 no-fault eviction 3 months later.They're genuinely borderline predatory. It took 6 months to fix the flat windows which all had broken handles and did not seal, meaning in winter it was impossible to keep the flat warm. Black mould was present on the check-in report on move-in, and alongside that all the fixtures and fittings were marked as needing repair. I was put through a back and forth for 6 months to have the windows fixed, where they had 5 contractors come out to look at the issue and give a quote. Seemingly they were looking for the cheapest labour going.That was over winter, meaning I was sleeping in a drafty and moudly flat for that time. Once the windows were fitted, they just put sealant over the mould which doesn't solve the issues.Through out the eviction process they purposefully mislead and harassed me to apply pressure for me to leave. Directly contradicting advice given by the local council and citizen's advice. As an ambulatory disabled person, it's unfeasible to pack up and move your life within 3 months.During this period, there were minimum 3 visits to the flat without my prior approval, with less than 24hours notice. Sometimes they would notify me at the end of a working day, so it'd be impossible to get my consent. All for surveyors to appraise the property which has been on the market for over 2 years with no traction.Twice someone opened the door and walked into the flat whilst I was mid-work meeting. Which is just completely dehumanising and disrespectful.

Brainless and unkind staff

Romans were nice until the contract was signed. After that it was all down hill. They have absolutely no consideration for tenants. The house was approved by them as cleaned but was absolutely FILTHY when handed over. There were literally dozens of nails lying around which is a safety hazard. After begging and yelling and doing everything possible, they got the landlord to send a cleaner, who did the bare minimum for about 1 hour. Every time I reached out to them about something, they didn’t even have the brains to read through the contract they sent and answer correctly. They were just rude and would say “that can’t be done” until I POINTED out in the contract that it in fact CAN be done. They also ripped me off all along but especially in the end when I was leaving by expecting me to professionally cleaned the place AND pay for cleaning. All when it was handed over FILTHY. There was also an issue with mold and a leak in the bathroom which they did not bother with until it got out of hand and I called and threatened to break my contract on the basis of the house being unliveable and a health hazard. They have no humanity or brains whatsoever, worst letting agency ever. Extremely unkind staff and I would not recommend the experience to anyone.

Romans have managed our property…

Romans have managed our property portfolio for over 20 years. During the more recent years, Lisa Fazal has been the property manager of a number of our flats in Bracknell. She has responded promptly to arrange any necessary maintenance required, and followed-up with ourselves and the tenants to make sure that everything has been concluded in a satisfactory manner. The tenants are happy, we are happy and she deserves full recognition

Excellent Service

I have been working with Lisa Fazal in the Romans Bracknell office on the rental of my property for the past 10 years. During this time Lisa has consistently provided an excellent level of service and support. The property has been rented continuously during this time and Lisa is always very responsive and goes above and beyond to resolve any issues between the tenants and myself. Lisa is a pleasure to work with and is very helpful, knowledgeable and responsive!

I had an excellent experience with Roman’s estate agents with special thanks to Zara. She was very kind, patient, professional, pro active, informative and dealt with our enquiries very efficiently. She worked very hard to ensure that our application and move were hassle free. She responded very quickly to emails and was always happy to help if we had any questions. Thanks a million Zara!
