Charlotte was amazing at squeezing us in for a same day viewing of a flat - very helpful and professional and provided us with a leaflet to take away. Wouldn't hesitate to reach out to Prospect again in our hunt for an apartment.

Charlotte Morgan was really lovely and helpful, from the beginning all the way through. Great communication, flexibility, and very professional. We had a very positive experience with Charlotte and I’d highly recommend Prospect. Pam was really nice and helpful as well. Thank you!

Nikki has been a 'god send' for me taking over full management of a tenanted property which was becoming to difficult for me to handle. Nikki has a great deal of experience in this field and has made my life so much easier!

Charlotte was excellent from the start with helping us find a property and the whole process after that. Regular contact and keeping us in the loop was fantastic and she made the whole process of moving feel easy. Was happy to answer any questions if we had them and this helped with the overall process. Can’t thank Charlotte and the Prospect team enough for helping us!!

PLEASE READ BEFORE USING PROSPECT ESTATE AGENTS.
We have used prospect to rent through for a couple of years now. They have been great.. until it comes to moving out. On 6th january 2023 our tenancy renewed. It also renewed with a rent increase. Just DAYS after the tenancy renewed we were informed the house was going on the market and another estate agent would be in touch to arrange viewings and take photos. Had we have known this, we absolutely wouldn't have agreed to renew the tenancy as we were basically trapped into paying rent until a buyer is found. The reasoning would be, we have no idea when the property would sell and as to when we'd have to move out. Secondly due to chemotherapy and recent surgeries I am extremely vulnerable to having people in and out of the house. We received an email from prospect saying quote 'the landlord is happy for you to stay in situ until a point of sale. If a point of sale isn't agreed by the end of tenancy your agreement will roll onto a monthly periodic' basically saying, the landlord can serve notice anytime before but you can't. We found somewhere else to live as I cannot afford to have strangers come into the home when I am in such a vulnerable position. This was denied and was stated we couldn't move out. We sought legal advise on the situation and it came to light that the agreement had actually been broken, as in the contract it clearly states there isn't allowed to be any for sale / advertisements until the last 2 months of the tenancy. I brought this up to prospect and got told they will 'speak to the landlord.' It's not good enough. Why is the landlord allowed to break the tenancy, but we aren't? We were falsely tricked into signing a tenancy agreement (WITH A RENTAL INCREASE) on the pretence the house was going on the market. We were totally mislead. When you sign a tenancy agreement, you sign it on the hopes of a stable, secure home which you rightly pay to legally occupy. In our case, we were signing the agreement to insure the landlord / prospect didn't have any missed gaps of non-payment until the house would've sold. I know there is always a risk of a house being sold. It's part and parcel of renting, but to be told this a handful of days after renewing the tenancy agreement is morally so wrong. Prospect were also aware of my current health conditions, as is the landlord, as we've had to turn away someone coming to do a gas inspection due to my ongoing treatment. I'm not asking anybody to put the sale on hold, but so the right thing and let us be released from the contract early. The email clearly states if a sale happens before the tenancy agreement is up, the landlord can serve notice. If that isn't the case, and the landlord will still have to wait for the tenancy agreement is over, then maybe raise this with the staff member who wrote the email. As we took this email for gospel and made arrangements to move. I have spent weeks chasing for replies, only to get a call back saying we cannot break the contract. We have now moved from the property due to the health risks this poses on me, and the sheer stress this has put on myself and my family, and the fact we don't want to live on tender-hooks not knowing when we would have to leave. It's an absolute shambles and to leave my family in this cost of living crisis liable to pay the rent up until a point of sale, when we have been tricked into this tenancy, and also when the contract has been clearly not stuck by, by erecting for sale signs, and not letting us enjoy the property on a quiet and peaceful basis, has left us no option to seek legal advise which we have now done. On one of the emails I received it also said 'we are acting on behalf as the landlord as they are our client.' Well we are also paying customers. Also your clients. There has been no thought or consideration for us at all, and due to this, we have had to pay hundreds of pounds to seek legal advise and we are willing and now WANTING this to go to court as we have a watertight defence on the pretence of being mislead, as well as the contract not being adhered to. I am also going to make this known with the redress schemes and the ombudsman. We will take this as far as we need to, to put this right.

Both Paul and Beth were brilliant throughout the process of us looking for homes and even though we haven’t actually bought a place with them, they were so helpful in the search and remained in touch and professional even up until now whilst we proceed with a property with a different estate agent. I can’t recommend them enough, lovely people and if god forbid our sale with this house falls through, I actually look forward to looking at more properties through prospect with Beth and Paul.Thank you for always keeping me updated and staying honest throughout.Nimrah

They used to be good but not anymore. They lack client engagement, basic research and most importantly sales closing skills. They aren’t truthful and wouldn’t explain the reasons for client’s decision. I wasted 2 weeks on them when they …
Hi Manish. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Whilst we respect your opinion, I do not think you have explained the full story and feel it unfair to leave a 1 star review without sharing the full details. … More

I’ve just brought a house with prospects and all I can say is Beth Murphy has been absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone using prospect if you want your experience of buying a house to be pleasant please go with her. She went over and beyond for us that even after we didn’t get our first property we wanted to stay with prospects because of her outstanding customer service. She always replied back to me immediately and assured me. There was no game playing like other agents she was very honest. We just cannot thank Beth enough wish there was a 10 star for her.

First time buyer, heading into the process very quickly and relatively uninformed. Thankfully we dealt with Beth who was knowledgeable, quick to respond and pro-active with providing information, dealing with solicitors etc. A great help and assurance in a potentially stressful time.

Beth Murphy of Prospect Estate has been absolutely wonderful. Trying to locate a new house close to myself for my elderly parents has been made possible thanks to Beth. The specification of requirements given by my parents was fairly extensive and Beth rose to the challenge ensuring all were met on more than one occasion. Unfortunately my parents had to bow out of the original house due to health challenges but Beth has since found another and look forward to them moving in during March. I would personally like to thank Beth for her dedication and all the effort she has made. Not your usual estate agent by any means. If I chose to move in the future my first port of call would Beth Murphy. Thank you Beth for all your hard work, 5 stars plus!

I’ve had a great experience working with Prospect, and especially with Nikki. She has been consistently helpful, responsive, and proactive with any queries or maintenance issues.

Great experience with Prospect, thanks to Beth
Huge thank you to Beth who was amazing throughout the sale process. We decided to go with Prospect after having bad experience with a previous agency and couldn’t be happier with our decision. The way Beth handled everything from arranging viewings to finding us a buyer and guiding us through the whole process with her fantastic communication and knowledge was so helpful. Beth is a credit to the company. Thanks Prospect!

Great Expert Property Valuation
We had our Flat valuation recently by Prospect estate agency, Mr Toby Herman was valuation manager who visited the property and we were glad that he did great in getting the valuation with attention to detail on each aspects of our Flat and advised on the current market condition and buyers interest.Also briefed the best practices which Prospect estate agency follows in shortlisting the Potential buyers with predefined checks done, which further saves the overall time for selling completions.

Samantha, the property manager is excellent, always responsive, organised, and helps with any problems efficiently. I really feel confident and so glad I picked Prospects! Highly recommended.

Worst estate agent I’ve ever dealt with. Essential works, including water leaks, have been outstanding for over 6 months, with other issues left unresolved for more than a year.
Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear of your experience, I understand you have spoken with the Property Management team today and a plan is in place. If you require anything further please feel free to call 0118 467 0891 to speak with Gemma.

Nikki Gardner *****
Prospect have successfully managed one of our Buy-to-Let properties over the last 10 years. We have found Nikki Gardner (of Prospect) to be very competent, professional and efficient in managing the property; checking the condition, obtaining maintenance quotes, and liaising with the tenants and ourselves

Professional, open communication and supportive during the full process
I am super satisfied for the service that Charlotte delivered to us. She was very nice everytime when I ask something to her. She is also very well organized and clarifying the steps moving forward. Her goal was to make landlord and tenant happy. We finally rent the house which was exactly what we were looking. Thanks Charlotte and happy to work with you.
