Clee Tompkinson and Francis reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

Clee listed my property for sale in June & it completed in August. ⭐ 7 week turnaround ⭐️ Celyn, Jan & Rhys make a wonderful team. From the initial valuation with Jan, right through to completion, the team was professional, responsive, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Their marketing strategy was spot on, the photos and listing really showcased my home at its best, attracting a lot of interest right away. Within a week of the property being listed, we had received four viewings and a couple of offers! Communication from Celyn was always clear and timely, and she made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I really appreciated their attention to detail and dedication to getting the best result. If I can offer sellers / buyers any advice, it would be to ensure you have a trusting and competent team of estate agents and solicitors. Thank you / Diolch to the whole team, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Clee to anyone looking to sell their property.

Great service

My sister and I had a very good experience with CTF. Problems came up along the way, not least a fire at the property which seriously held things up. However Chris and his team were extremely helpful and reliable at all times. All queries , no matter how small were attended too either by phone or email promptly.The many viewings were always conducted in a friendly and professional manner. I can honestly say that I was totally satisfied with the service provided and would recommend the Walter Rd branch of CTF to anyone.

Surprised to see so many negative…

Surprised to see so many negative reviews. I have recently completed on the sale of one property and purchase of another, with two different branches of Clee - Carmarthen and Pontardawe. I have been surprised and impressed by the level of service from both offices. There has been regular communication, which has been friendly and supportive and an enterprising suggestion led to my purchase of a property which I hadn't even considered. I wouldn't hesitate to use CTF again, or to recommend them.

Very pleased with the friendly team efficient

I was very pleased with the friendly efficient team, especially Lynne, at the Crickhowell branch of Clee . Nothing was too much trouble for them and their expert advice was of great help. They were instrumental in getting a good price for the property we were selling.

Great company

Great company. I had my house for sale with another estate agent for 9 months with very little success. I then went to Clee in Morrisons. My house went on the market on a Friday and received a full asking price offer 5 days later. . Darlene was amazing at keeping me updated and chasing things through. Would highly recommend

Would not recommend them to anyone!

We had their Manager from Carmarthen Branch to give a market appraisal today. What a waste of time! Showed him round all the vast, very substantial improvements carried out since buying our house five year ago - to make it a truly eye catching smallish equestrian property for a growing family not seen anywhere in this area ready to move in ! His valuation was ridiculous and laughable! Out of courtesy, didn’t show him the door, instead told him politely the subject is closed. Did he stop? No! Carried on with his verbal diarrhoea! He is a “know all” man, by far the worst we had ever come across, having moved house 12 times across the South East and Wales !

I was really impressed with the speed at which they sold my house.

I was really impressed with the customer service of provided by Clee Tomkinson Francis. They gave me an estimate on the sale of my house and they were spot on. The whole experience was very quick and efficient. Even I was surprised how quickly they sold my house and how easy they made the whole experience for me. In particular, Rhys Thomas deserves a shout out for his excellent service. He was able to answer all my queries and took the hassle out of selling my house.

Fantastic local estate agents

Fantastic local estate agents, would highly recommend Abu and Sian have helped with every query every step of the way. Together the team sold my property for more than any other local agent estimated the sale price.

Poor Service

In 2019 I bought my first house in Wales, from Clee Estate Agents. The service was faultless. This was to be the beginning of my welsh portfolio and so as Clee had a property management company it appeared to be logical to keep it in house. My portfolio expanded.With regards to a property in Regent St.My tenant, or rather the tenant that Clee vetted moved in on 18th June 2021. Had to chase the rent. Clee issue statements, but nothing was coming into my account. Also overcharging on their management fees was reported to them.Due to none payment of rent Clee were instructed to issue a Section 21 Notice, which they duly did. This was dated 09/11/21 with possession required after 17/06/22. Though the email was sent to me a week later.On the 26th December the tenant emailed me concerning a water leak from his bathroom. He had been trying to contact Clee to arrange an emergency plumber to visit the property. I could confirm this myself. There was no answer phone message for emergencies. Nothing on their web site or shop window. Then then resulted in me having to travel to Neath from Exeter myself. Clee was closed for the whole of the festive period. Their inventory report on the 30th March clearly showed the affected dampness.Clee then decided to employ a gentleman who found me a tenant for one of my properties. What I was not informed at the time was there were outstanding CCJs on this person and the references were not properly checked. After not receiving rent for over six months I requested a section 21 to be issued, It took Clee weeks to issue this and what they did issue was wrong. Instead of three months it was for nearly five months. When I finally got the tenant out I would estimate my loss at about 15K. This gentleman now no longer works for Clee and a replacement was found. Thought all this the managing agent manager was very supportive, but there was nothing more she could do. Since then she has decided to leave the company as did her replacement. This resulted in me removing three of my properties from Clee.On another property I instructed Clee in full management, eventually they found me tenants. However there charges were to say in the least excessive. Our contract for finding a tenant was £250 and 8% management charge because I now had quite a few properties with Clee. Clee deducted £450 and 10%, lucky I spotted this.I wanted to move one tenant from one property into another. This property had already an agreement with as above. Once again Clee decided to try to increase their fees. Again £450 and 15%On all my properties Clee were suppose to carry out a photographic inspection before and after the tenant resides at the property. Half the time the inspection missed many points. Damaged walls, state of the garden etc. Then they rush to claim a little of the deposit back and complain if you find missing faults.Promoting properties. No rent signage displayed and though reported, I had no response til I chased it again, to then be advise there was a sign. Properties not appearing on their own web site. Emails going unanswered. When faults are reported Clee were advised which contractors to use. This doest happen instead they were rather use dubious contractors, unknown to me, who charge a fortune. Then on top of this you are advised there is a call out charge.Clee Property Management Company appears to have long past its best sell by date. And consideration for its customers (The landlords) has been set aside.Mark Leonard.

Port Talbot branch - don’t do it!!!!

I will never recommend this company to anyone! Made the whole process 10x more stressful than it needed to be. We had a range of problems with them. The first put the price on the market £5k cheaper than we wanted. Their photos were absolutely horrendous - made the house look so small and dark. In the end, we took our own photos and asked them to place these on our listing. The ‘for sale’ sign for over a week after the listing went live.

The team at Clee were absolutely outstanding. There were so many disasters and challenges with the property (which were nothing to do with Clee), but throughout, they were helpful, patient, and never gave up - even managing to keep the prospective buyer happy enough to proceed, after repair works were carried out! Really couldn't have asked for a better service. Truly excellent.

Excellent estate agents. We had a very positive experience with…

We had a very positive experience with Clee Tomkinson Francis. Their sales negotiator, Nathan, was particularly professional and efficient. From the initial contact, when he came to the view the property before it was marketed, and every step of the way afterwards. I would have no hesitation in recommending him and Clee Tomkinson Francis to anyone.

Dreadful Morriston branch

Dreadful Morriston branch. Sharp practice. Continued viewings on a house after we agreed an offer without informing us. Allowed us to drive 5 hours each way for a second viewing to resolve a boundary issue. They did not follow up on this viewing but then accepted a new offer from another party and then asked us to increase our offer behind the back of the new person. Avoid.

Poor customer service

Me and my girlfriend viewed a property in whitland, Carmarthenshire and was not inform at the viewing that there was a holding fee of £100. The estate agent contacted my girlfriend whilst we were dealing with family issues, stating that she had to pay £100, as I was in work she was unsure of what to do and paid the £100. Due to family circamstances we were unable to to move to this property, we have received abysmal customer service throughout the process and money has not been refunded.

Appointed Clee & Tompkinson Francis …

Appointed Clee & Tompkinson Francis (Crickhowell) to represent us in land compensation regarding the A465 Heads of the Valley road scheme several years ago. When we enquired about progress it appeared they had lost our application ( we still had letter as proof it had been submitted) so they asked to resubmit the paperwork which we did back 12 months they acknowledged receipt.

I put my house up for sale with this company

I put my house up for sale with this company last summer 20024. The sales agent's and all staff I dealt with were perfectly pleasant and helpful and the brochure etc all OK . They gave feedback after each viewing.
