Emailed to Amelia Harris when we arrived back in Northamptonshire Dear Amelia, I am writing to thank you for all the time you gave Luke Chester with his flat hunting yesterday. You went the 'extra mile' and worked hard in trying to find him the best flat and we are very grateful. I am only sorry that he decided on a flat from another company. In 6 -12 months he is hoping to buy a flat and hopefully we will be able to use your company again, With kind regards and thank you, Sue Chester I would ...

Just bought a property through Kings Estates. Very happy with the communication. Polite and helpful staff, especially Paul and Marlee. The house needs a lot of work, but we knew that, as noticed the bad points on the viewing. A lot of furniture and rubbish left by the seller, but Paul promised to cooperate, so they can pay the bill for the removal. Got my keys on the completion day at 11:30am. Looking forward to settle in our new home :) Would highly recommend....

If I could give them zero stars I would. They offered to show me three properties, one of which (after getting the wrong road and looking around for five minutes for a house that wasn't there) they had the wrong key for the property. The next property was nothing like the photos, and so we visited the third. Stupidly I agreed to a tenancy, only to be told that their fee was £375 per person!! Almost twice the cost of other places. They told me that this was because it included any renewal f...

Terrible. £375 is a joke. Not even told until I was there to sign the contract

Hi Mathew, I would like to highlight a couple of points. Our fees are clearly displayed on our Rightmove Site and are also in our office. Kings Estates do not charge for renewal fees or check out fees. Some landlords who manage their own properties do charge to renew to cover the cost of re-registering the deposit. This is not a charge from Kings Estates. Our fees are very competitive and if you shopped around you would find this is the case. I find it very rude and disrespectful of ...

Excellent service always provided by KIngs Estate for the last 3 years I have been in touch with them. Recently Ryan dealt with the letting, and he was brilliant, very communicative at all times, and Kings Estate always choose very good tenants for its customers. I know others who have been very happy with the service provided by them. I will always go to them. In comparison with some others, they have always been very good and happy to help....

I bough a property through Kings but it was unprofessional from start to finish. They only told me there was a damp issue with the property when the offer was accepted. They also told me that I was in competition with another buyer and asked me to increase my offer. I am now very much in doubt whether it was actually the case or it was just their cunning strategy, as there is no way I would be able to find out. They made things up and false promises as they went along - typical rogue agents! Not...

What I commented was 100% factual. The damp issue was NEVER mentioned to me during the viewing or when I made the offer. It was ONLY mentioned to me by Marlee when my offer was accepted. You may choose not to believe it but that was what happened. ...

This company is awful and likes to take advantage of potential clients. Their agents are extremely unprofessional and tell you what you want to hear in order to rope you in to putting a deposit down on a property. As a student, the administration fees were extortionate and we were expected to pay the deposit and the first months rent before moving in, which is rare with student housing. They also lied to us about the pricing until we agreed to rent the property, with the deposit actually being d...

Hi Tyreece, Firstly I would like you to explain how Kings Estates had taken advantage of you as a client. At no point did any transaction take place nor any Terms/Contract signed. You were never lied to about the price of the property. Although my colleague was unaware this particular landlord took 6 weeks deposit you were told before any agreement could be made. When it became clear you did not wish to pay a deposit of this amount we tried to contact the landlord to negotiate a lower deposit o ...

These guys didn't care at all about the welfare of the property. One of my housemates got ill from mould that they refused to acknowledge. Even when they were scheduled to come round to view the mould they kept saying it would be a few hours till the guy arrived, yet he never did for weeks. We were broken into and attacked one night and even then they did not care about the incident at all, front door is probably still broken....

Absolutely terrible. Overall the whole office is a mess and as a customer you never feel if they really know what they are doing or if they are just making things up on the spot. Completely unorganized and will most likely mess around when you try and get your deposit back....

I have been with Kings Estates for the last 1 year as a tenant. I must say i have been very happy with their service and professionalism. I am now leaving Portsmouth, but would confidently recommend Kings Estates to any future tenants. I would like to say thankyou to Kings Estates and especially the manager, Tony, who returned my deposit quickly and in full with no hassles created....

DO NOT USE THIS ESTATE AGENTS Kings estate agents are the most dishonest , rude and incompentent estate agents I have ever used. They are clearly unable to do there jobs and are not recomemneded by the council unsurprisingly . They have no care for their customers , the only thing they are bothered about is finding various ways for them to steal your money . I cannot express how terrible they are and would advise against anyone using them EVER again...

I used Kings Estates for my first student property last year and found them to be really helpful. These other reviews seem a bit off as the service I experienced was great! They showed my a range of different houses, some weren't the best but they didn't try and make them out to be better than they were, but they really seemed keen on finding me as much as what I wanted as possible. The BEST bit was they only charge £100+vat per person agency fee. This was the cheapest by far out of all t...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Not to pretend they didn\' know of the situation, accept responsibility and refund 320 pounds that they got for showing me the flat for half hour.
