GoogleExpensive agent for the ‘average’ service you get. Some friendly staff but some give off they don’t care. Manager seems very inexperienced. Sorry won’t be using or recommending your letting service

GoogleWhen selling my property I did a bit of research with a couple of estate agents. I choose Romans because of my initial interaction with Ian Lewis. He was knowledgeable and realistic about the market. Ian and his colleague Natalie Boyd have been professional throughout and have provided an excellent service keeping me updated on a regular basis. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Romans.

GoogleWish I could give more stars! Hands down, best estate agent I've dealt with, Specifically Natalie Boyd. Me and my wife had a horrible chain/process, dragged on for months, but Natalie chased and kept on top of everything throughout. May have fallen through on several occasions without such transparency and pro activeness. Will be recommending Romans to friends & family

GoogleOur home manager was on annual leave when we moved in so we still have pending issues that were raised at the start of our tenancy.
Josee · 29 July 2019
Agent replied
Hi Josee, we're saddened to see that our team in Wokingham have received a low star rating following your experience with them. We can appreciate why you’re displeased that you have outstanding issues that were reported at the beginning of the tenancy, your designated property manager was on annual leave around the time you moved in and you informed of this by another member of the team in an introductory email. We were first made aware of the issues at the property at this point which were swiftly relayed to the Landlord and at which point we asked for authorisation to deal with them . We’re contracted by the Landlord as managing agent to act under their instructions which means when any maintenance issues are reported to us we relay these onto the Landlord to seek their instructions and authorisation to proceed, it can be noted that we do not have the authority to enforce works to proceed without the Landlords authorisation. Your property manager will be making contact with you at the earliest opportunity to provide an update with regards to the repairs. We hope we’re able to resolve these for you quickly and turn your experience with us into a more positive one. Should you wish to discuss this then please contact me on 01344758596. Kind Regards, Joe, Romans

Hi John, we're disappointed to hear of the negative experience you have had with our Romans team in Wokingham. Here at Romans we understand the importance of providing a high level of service to our customers. We believe that when any issues arise that through the use of effective communication we are able to swiftly address these and alleviate any concerns. I have had the opportunity to discuss your comments with Sophie Peters from the branch who was the member of staff who primarily dealt with your application and move. From viewing our system I can see that during your application the Wokingham team were attempting to gain copies of the right to rent documentation which was required before your tenancy could commence, the right to rent documentation is something that legally we must check. Sophie has mentioned that she did attempt to communicate with your co-applicant via phone a number of times in an attempt to express that these documents needed to be provided before keys could be released for the property. Within our business in instances such as this our staff do attempt to communicate via phone call wherever possible as we recognise this is a more direct form of communication but in this instance as Sophie could not make contact by phone she instead put this in writing to ensure that the information was relayed to you. After taking into account the points raised above I do not believe the Romans team in Wokingham have acted incorrectly however we would like to offer our sincere apologies that you felt the service you received fell below the high standards we expect of Romans. We recognise the importance of all reviews and thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. If you would like to discuss this further please contact me at jgilliland@romans.co.uk or on 01344758596. Kind Regards, Joe Gilliland, Customer Care Manager
