Absolutely disgraceful. Took them a year and a half to get a fire replaced left us through winter without heating. When vacating the property they took our bond saying that the property was dirty and it wasnt. Plus they owed us rent and only gave us 4 days back when we should have had 9. Not very useful when we had to phone and when leaving they said we couldn't have the bond back because we didn't organise the gas safety. LANDLORD OR LETTINGS JOB! will not use blundells again. Some of the staff...

Terrible. Did not answer phone calls at any time of the day. Emails were not responded to. No communication between staff so when I eventually did get called back there was conflicting information from different team members. We haven't even viewed the house yet and I have been put off by them! I have already heard horror stories about Blundells' negligence, this has been the last nail in the coffin for them. We will not be renting from them....

We are looking for a second agent in order to sell our flat. The agent picked up the keys on Friday night, took them home then rang in sick (understandably unforeseen) on the Monday without the office making ANY attempt to sort out the situation. We then had to cancel a viewing with a prospective buyer at Monday lunchtime because the keys unavailable to our current estate agents! So unprofessional....

Housing is an essential part of living, most other estate agents appreciate that in order to survive suitable and affordable accommodation is available, whereas all the morons at blundells care about is rinsing you for as much money as possible. I have had many successful experiences with OTHER estate agents, but these were actually a joke, ridiculous fees, awful customer service, just genuinely a disgrace. People question why estate agents get such a bad view from society because of the lies th...

We were a buyer of a premium property in a very desirable area. Any time these had come up previously they would go to sealed bids - as we expected this one to. Quite amazingly while we were viewing, we were informed by the vendor that someone had offered asking and they had agreed. No further discussion or negotiation to be had. Ok I thought I will discuss with Blundells as I also wished to offer asking - in fact I was keen to offer more if required. Spoke to the agent who simply pushed me back...

Terrible experience: stressful and I lost money. Also a data protection breach. I lined up a rental property with Blundells, paid the good faith fee on 4th April and was assured I could move in on Tuesday 18th April. On Thursday 13th April (just before the bank holidays on Friday 14th and Monday 17th April) I was told the property was no longer available. I had already arranged the removal company to move me to Sheffield from North Wales and childcare for my 10-month baby. I'd also packed up my...

Also found this blundells to be utterly incompetent. The agent didnt turn up for the viewing meaning we had to be shown around by the previous tenants, they failed to send the all various forms and contracts (either by not sending them at all or by sending them to the wrong email address) until we contacted them about it for the third time, and caused a lot of stress by (as the previous commenter also experienced) breaching privacy laws and giving our details to Spark.

As far as we can discern this company is run by con men and women. We started a let of a nice flat in a big apartment building in central Sheffield in late January that had some electrical problems that needed fixing right then that were reported. A month later the fridge has stopped working and nothing has been done about this for two weeks. Getting our `property manager' on the phone, we just get platitudes like `yes, we will have to look into this' or `I am trying to get in contact with t...

Avoid this letting agent at all costs to protect your information security & bank details! My Partner and I rented a property with agent approx 4 months ago, and despite reading the terrible reviews we went ahead as we needed to move. Everything went smoothly, everything apart from their customer service was slightly lacking (no calls back when they said they would & no updates to progress of application). 3 months in to renting the property I received a call from one of their agents...

Very odd customer service. Seemed to go out of their way to not rent me a house and had this attitude after speaking to me for 5 mins or so on the phone. No rhyme or reason as just a standard call about what I was looking for. More than once put me off houses I asked about so I couldn't book a viewing, didn't return calls, didn't seem to know who I was or what we had already spoken about. Wouldn't confirm viewing, when chased a couple of days later told houses already gone. Then told they had n...

I started working with Kelly Boot in December 2015 to purchase two rental properties in the Sheffield area. Kelly is priceless, she has accompanied me on all viewings and has given me excellent advice. Without this advice I would certainly have made bad property purchases which would have cost me a fortune. As a result of Kelly's experience I have switched to Blundells lettings for an existing property I held in the area and I am now in the process of purchasing my fourth rental property. I ...

Worst letting experience of my life. Me and my partner have lived in 6 different rented properties since we met and Blundells are the only letting agency that we have had any problems with. Ignoring all the minor problems we had with the property (lights not working, extractor systems braking down, knackered locks etc) ignored by Blundells for months on end the main issue was the DAMP. Blundells totally ignored us for the entire 12 month contact when we were telling them the property had serious...

Awful, awful experience. So bad, that I refused to proceed with the let and lost out on £300 of fees. Blundells even wanted me to insure the landlord's furniture! That's illegal, by the way. But it's in section 2.54 of their policy! Never again dealing with Blundells. I refuse even to look at houses for sale if the sellers are using Blundells as an agent. It really was that bad, and I have lived in rentals since 1996 all over the UK. Blundells take the prize for worst letting agent I've ev...

I will never use Blundells again. 1. I was misinformed about fees. I thought I am to pay £200 when I signed a preliminary contract. Then I was told that the fee was £400. I wanted to cancel everything so the fee was reduced to £300 which is still high. My landlord was misinformed too and had to pay £400. 2. The flat was extremely dirty. I had to clean all the shit left by previous tenants. 3. I was not given my deposit and repayment ID. Now it has been almost a month sin...

I previously rented a property through Blundells, they did not really help with the process of moving. It took longer than we expected to move in and I had to do all the chasing up, as they never called me. I was satisfied with very few services I received. Some of the work that needed to be done such as the mould we had never happened. Then after leaving the property and talking to Blundells which seemed very unsure as to what I was to do about getting my bond back they told me I had to get cal...

I'm quite shocked at how terrible a rating these agents have in the botom ten in the UK??? Wow. Anyway, I thought I'd have my say, I had a very a positive experience dealing with them when I bought my property. When contacting them to view properties at very short notice(one even an hour before I viewed) they were very accommodating and helpful, arranging viewings exactly when I wanted them. I was not living in sheffield when looking for properties so i managed to see many within a short space ...

I previously rented a property through blundells, I was satisfied with most services I received. Although work or minor repairs that needed doing on the house failed to ever be carried out. (Eg carpets cleaned, oven overall cleaning of the housing when moved in). Then when I left the property and went to get my bond back, Hillsbourgh lettings forwarded me on to their property management where they deal with returning the bond.

The landlord was terrible any compliments about minor faults where never carried out! A verbal promise to "clean the carpets" was never carried out and now that's trying to be taken from the bond I placed down. The heating dial never got mended. The lino was scratched from previous tenant as cat decoration was horrid. Wasn't aloud to make the house feel homily. No nails or anything to even hang a mirror up. It was like living in their house how they wanted it to pay their mortgage. As it was my first time renting it will certainly be my last! And I would advise people to never trust the estate agents and landlord make sure everything is in writing with photographic evidence.

I have reviewed before on the awful process of moving in. But once we got our furniture and accessories muddled together it seemed we were ready for ourselves and our newborn baby girl. Within weeks I felt unnerved by the noises in the loft and the floor boards. I thought perhaps a structural issue given heavy rains and high winds. To my horror I discovered the house was infested with rats. It took 4 days and 3 conversations with disinterested people on the phone for a man to be sent around in a...
