I think some other people on here have gone WAAAAYY overboard with their ranting! I moved in on July 1st and there were some things which needed doing from the previous tenancy (cleaning/broken furniture) but by the time I came back from the summer break it was all pretty much sorted for us. ...

I can honestly say that my third year at university was the worst year of my life due to one thing. the fact that i live in a dive and there is no one coming to sort it out. The house is standing up which is good, however everything else about it is absolutely dreadful. When I viewed the house I ... Read Full Review

Whatever you do, DO NOT go with cryers. Even if its a last resort. They are the most unorganised company ever and think that they can get away with anything just because they are dealing with students. My house was disgusting when we moved in and now they are trying to charge us for decorative ... Read Full Review

After looking at many houses with different agents we found the perfect one for us through Cryers. The whole process from start to finish was easy and friendly and have now lived there for 2 years since. Any issues with the house have always been dealt with straight away so we have been very ...

I had looked around loads of houses last year and found a house through Cryers. when we first moved in we had several requests which were all done within a week of moving in and the cleaning was also done on the same day. we had someone leave the tenancy during our time at the house. Cryers was ... Read Full Review

Its a pity there is no option to award these people 0/5 because I believe I would and I believe everyone who has had the misfortune to deal with them would also. My landlord of my private house lives abroad and up until summer 2012, her mum took care of all rent/maintenance/repair/tenancy ... Read Full Review

Moved into our flat on 1st July of this year as a student let and spent the whole summer managing what these Letting Agents were supposed to be doing! the only way you are going to get this company to do as little as send a cleaner in is to pay them a little visit everyday until they are sick of ...

THE WORST AGENT I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH! Prior to moving into the property we were promised that the house would be cleaned (not too much to ask) that the moldy sofa would be replaced, that the mold would be removed from the bedrooms and bathrooms. Once we moved in none of this had been done, the ... Read Full Review
- better telephone manners / customer service - not being so ignorant when we came in to talk - not making promises they cannot uphold - being more responsive - not renting unlivable houses - not taking on so many customers (students) as they can\'t handle the amount of work

Unorganised, rude, unhelpful and defiantly the worst estate agents in Southampton. Terrible at getting things done, charge you unnecessary things (over charging on cleaning costs). They also blame you for their mistakes. Choose any other estate agents apart from them and I guarantee they do a ... Read Full Review

Rubbish company; they make all sorts of promises before you move in and don't then follow any through. We were told the rotting window frames would be sorted before moving in, and they were untouched- and not sorted for the entire year we were there. The windows were so bad there were holes ...

where do I start? ive been renting from cryers for nearly 2 years in 2 different properties.

There service is terrible!

They have lied to us on many occasions when they said someone will be ... Read Full Review
Listen to your customers, do not lie to them and then ignore them. Don\'t treat your customers like idiots and then call them liars by saying problems havent been reported. They should not be in business as I am not the only one who has had to deal with this exact situation.

Cryers let this house to me and 3 student colleagues. On taking over the property they took a deposit which we have yet to have back despite leaving the house in perfect condition and handing back the keys on 30 June. On taking over the house we found cat sick on the carpets and cat excrement on ... Read Full Review

from my experience, the agents arent the problem. its the company as a whole which is disastrous. theres total lack of communication between the agents however, each of them tell you something totally different. like i was promised my deposit would be in on friday 17th by one agent, and then told ...

cryers are an absolute disgrace. the day i moved in last year, the house was disgusting, totally uninhabitable to the degree that i went back home for the weekend till it was supposed to be sorted. they got cleaners in, who supposedly managed to clean an 8 bedroom house in the space of a few hours, but surprise surprise didn\'t touch my bedroom. there was mould all along the walls of my bedroom, in which their solution was to wipe it off and told me to buy mould and mildew cleaner to do it when it comes back. when i complained further, i got told it was my fault there was mould in my room which is complete rubbish. after living their for about 9/10 months and continuous complaining they finally sorted my room and put in ventilation, just a couple of months before i was moving out and is now summer time. all through winter i had to live in a damp, rancid room which resulted in a persistent chesty cough and hundreds of pounds worth of mouldy clothes, shoes and bags. the job took a couple of hours to do and sorted the problem, so why they didnt do it at the beginning is ridiculous. alongside that, we all had problems in the house that were complained about but again, cryers did nothing. we cleaned the house top to bottom out of courtesy when we moved out, despite the contract stating we have to leave the house the state we found it in which was vile so didnt have to do clean at all, we still did. its been 7 weeks since i moved out and moved into a new house by a different agency obviously, and i\'m still yet to recieve my deposit. again, numerous phonecalls and visits later, still not any closer to getting it back. i have truly had enough of them messing me around, i want my money back i have nothing to do with them ever again. worst letting agency.

This agent is truly awful. I have no good thing to say about them really. They are not bad people I think but extremely incompetent. They do not pass on any requests to the landlord ever, they lose all your details, they do not return deposits on time. When you press them for anything I believe ... Read Full Review

Unprofessional and rude. I've had a mould issue for 7 weeks, and vacated the property for the last 6 weeks, they have managed to have various people look at it every week but no work actually done. Feel as though I have been fobbed off. Phoned and complained today, got pretty much laughed at. My ... Read Full Review
Not had to be chased every week for an update. Actually do the work rather than fobbing me off each week with different things ie ''I'll ring the landlord this week'' - really should be ''ve rung the landlord and we will be acting immediately' not waiting another week before being chased to do something else. Remember that tenants are your customers, and that you should treat them with respect.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
