I have let my property through Hetheringtons several times and each time it was an unsatisfactory experience including: tenants not being properly vetted, repair works were shoddy and particularly high in price, tenants were recommended despite not meeting my essential criteria and I experienced undue amounts of pressure to accept them. Tenants were unsuitable and on more than one occasion could not afford the rent which I only found out subsequently. I had full management services but for the a...

This was the worst experience of my life with an agency. I rented a flat with them. They were Sewell Gardner then... They changed to hetheringtons and then to Clockwise or sth like this. Anyway, the flat was brand new but we had problems with the heating, the bulbs, the floor was breaking, the windows were draughty, the interphone system didn't work for 2 months and the car park door wasn't closing so once we got a fine for parking outside our bay where there was an unauthorised vehicle parked....

How refreshing to deal with such professionals at Hetheringtons in Shenfield - they were totally on the ball throughout, especially at the open days when selling my mother's house recently and supported us through the whole stressful process! I can honestly say that having gone multi agency initially, we should have engaged Hetheringtons on a sole basis right from the outset - I wouldn't bother with the other agents in Shenfield, just go & see Hetheringtons!...

Avoid at all costs.....money grabbers who do not care less about duty of care to tenants. Take your money at will when it comes to getting money off them, will be waiting a long time. Was issued a tenancy renewal after residing at the property for 4 years, was never told the landlord did not wish to renew it, still charged me an extra £10 extra month rent despite their own renewal letter saying the new contract was only binding if both tenant and landlord signed it. Hetherington basically...

We arranged a viewing on Saturday at 5 o'clock. We called the agency to inform that we will be late 15m. No one picked up the phone. We texted the agency. No one replied. We were at the address at 05.15pm and no one was there. We thought may be they are waiting for us in the flat. No. No one was waiting for us. Next door ( thankfully not our neighbor) opened his door and asked how did we get in the building? This unprofessional so called agent pulled our happy mood down on a beautiful Saturday a...

DO NOT USE I will summarise the good and bad points. Good Found a decent tenant in a short space of time. (And this is the only good point) Bad Harassed my tenant with "offers" for Internet and home insurance the minute he moved in They hold the rent as long as possible to earn interest on your money. (In one instance it took 10 days from the day my tenant paid, I know this as speak to him directly) Don't return phone calls Lost the keys they had for my property Don't visi...

We originally dealt with Sewell and Gardner- however half way through our tenancy our apartment block was bought by Hetherington's. when we left the flat they emailed me regarding deposit to see if i would authorise the deductions- i replied immediately keen to receive the rest of my money they were holding. I was advised at that point that in 5 days time i would receive the money. SIX days later i receive an email saying that my partner has to also email authorisation when he never even receiv...

I was renting a property in Loughton for 9 years. The tentancy ended on 31/10/15. I am still waiting for my deposit to be returned even though I was advised that the funds would be in my account today. 04/12/15. The person dealing with this has no idea what is going on and replying to e mails that are out of date from the last e mail that was sent. Total disaray! They have had my money for 9 years and my the sounds of it will take another 9 years for me to get it back....

My pregnant wife and I moved in over 6 weeks ago and there is still mould in the property, still a leaking tap and broken hot water tap in the kitchen, and the shower cold tap doesnt work. We've tried so many times to get these problems sorted and we've been promised so much - this was something they were supposed to get fixed when we moved in. It was agreed, AND we are alos waiting to be reimbursed for our £40 for getting keys cut. They are absolute liars and totally incompetent. I ...

Hi Nick, I hope you are well. I just wanted to put on record my thanks to you and your team for the professional and courteous way you managed the sale of our property. Despite some of the challenges we faced you were always on hand to provide guidance and support. Estate agents are often criticised for the way they go about their business but I have nothing but praise for you and your team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Hetherington's of Mill Hill to others wishing to sell their p...

Avoid at all costs! Hetherington's made me assurances and did not keep to their word, lying to cover their inadequacies. They were the sole agents marketing my property for 3 months and I received a low number of unsuitable offers. Interest was slow initially as THEY advised me too high a rental rate and used misleading pictures which didn't depict the flat accurately. They only provided feedback when I asked what the issue was and are not pro-active in their core function i.e. letting accommoda...

At first they seemed very professional. Smooth move into a rented property. Only later we realised our mistake. Be very careful when using them, the maintenance manager Harriet has no clue about managing property. She lied to me to cover her back. They had recent management changes but unfortunately seems the culture has stayed the same. DISHONEST AND NO CARE FOR TENANTS Here is a few words about them on their web: "At Countrywide our customers come first. We are committed to s...

They are failing to uphold their contractual obligations, don't check the property when they should and when they do. They do no action whatsoever. Their latest muck up is going to cost me thousands if I ever get the current tenants out! They are beyond incompetent....

The experience with Hetheringtons was great from start to finish. Mark Summers showed us the house initially. He was incredibly helpful and courteous. Tom Kingston took over the process from there and we could not have asked for a better person to deal with. He was very responsive and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. My previous experience of Estate Agents has never been positive and Tom and the team at Hetheringtons have definitely restored my faith. Another positive is even wh...

The most awful estate agents I have ever encountered. They don't pick up the phone, left us without heating for 3 months in winters, are downright rude on the phone, ignore your calls and don't respond to emails or messages... I could go on and on. My contract was for a year and a year to the date is when I am moving out, not because of the property but I can't cope with hetheringtons any more, they have driven me to distraction and sent my blood pressure through the roof. I would strongly re...

I don't think I'm exaggerating in saying that i don't think this deal would have happened if it wasn't for Tom's drive, determination and persistence. When it appeared dead in the water he kept us interested with other properties and kept our hopes up which paid off. Our sale was particularly complicated with as long chain. He kept everyone on their toes! My agent selling my house was very impressed and would have offered him a job instantly if he was local. Thanks to all the team Richa...

We cannot reccomend Hetheringtons highly enough for helping us push through our sale & also assisting the best they could with our purchase. In discussions with Mark Summers he stated that he was just doing his job, but we genuinely believe that he went way above that from when we first met through to completion. Nothing like the sterotypical estate agent (in a positive way)....

Dreadful. Dealing with Hetheringtons has been an appalling expirience. This is my first rental let and I chose the 'fully managed' contract. The tenant was unable to get work done and so contacted me, then I was unable to make them act and so ended up doing the work myself. Not just once but time and again. I informed them of the problems on email and was not acknowledged. I complained on the telephone and nothing happened so I pulled out because of Hetherington's breach of contract. So. ...

As a first time buyer, I expected my experience to go with the negative stereotype banded for Estate Agents, but my dealings with Hetheringtons was far from it. I dealt specifically with Tom, who was superb. Responsive, on the ball, pro-active and very helpful throughout the process. Credit also to others in the Hetheringtons team, who also seemed to know what was going on with my purchase despite not specifically assigned to the sale. When the time comes to sell, I will without doubt approach H...
