I was really happy with Melvyn Danes nothing was too much trouble for them . Adam was very efficient and very upfront and honest about my property . Even when the sale was going through when there were a few problems with the house we were buying, we thought we might have to rent , all of the team were so supportive to our needs and looked at lots of options for us....

Would recommend theses ladies to people, never a problem to get hold of and would go the extra mile to make sure everything was done in a timely manor. Would get in touch to keep you up to date with what was happening at each time throughout the process. Many thanks for making the experience bearable as house moves are very stressful...

From the initial meeting I had with Adam I knew straight away I wanted Melvyn Danes to facilitate the sale of my property. He was genuine and friendly and put my mind at ease straight away. The subsequent service I received from Vanessa and then Sam was absolutely fantastic too. They all made what can be a very stressful experience into a stressfree one which was handled with complete professionalism, care and understanding. I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them....

I have to agree with the previous review - trying to get the deposit back is proving a nightmare despite conclusive evidence (photos taken by the agency itself - Before & After) that make it clear the property was left in the condition it was rented in. It's now three weeks, calls not returned, and the usual email ping-pong (staff on holiday etc/ landlord not available etc). I wouldn't touch this Letting agency with a barge pole unless the deposit is really small and you can afford to wait...

I have now been waiting over 3 weeks for the return of my deposit so have had to raise a dispute with TDS. In the begining everything went well they were a little slow in dealing with things but overall not bad, if a little expensive. Their tenancy agreements are geared towards protecting the landlord, but that wasnt an issue as ive never been a problem tenant, however please watch out for the hidden costs that arent explained when you sign up. Ending a tenancy is a different story, emails are...

Dear Patrick Again more variations of the truth from your company. If you check your records I vacated the property on the 19th May the tenancy ended on the 31st when the keys were returned. I can provide email evidence to the before mentioned if you require. The deposit was returned on the 21st June and only after I was forced to raise a dispute with the TDS and several emails to your company. I would also like to point out that no extra days were given the keys were returned to your office ...

All the staff we dealt with were excellent, Lucy initially (I think :o) ) helped us negotiating the offer and kept us informed every step of the way. Sam Anderson was our main point of contact following the purchase and did a great job to touching base and keeping in contact with the solicitors and pushing things along on behalf of their vendor and us. It was refreshing to have that point of contact, we were certainly impressed by what felt like a more bespoke service in comparison to the people...

The perfect sale! Melvyn Danes sold the house quickly , recommended an excellent solicitor and kept me updated from start to finish. All the staff I dealt with were excellent, but it was Sam Anderson who was my primary contact. How impressive is she? Always chasing on my behalf, always keeping me informed and treating me as if looking after my sale was top of her priority list. It was a real pleasure....

I rent a property that is managed by Melvyn Danes, and I must say, the service is awful. I have repairs that I have been making the staff aware of for the three years that I have been to that have not been seen to as of yet. I have lived here three years and had just one property check. They do not do any of the repairs I request for the property but still expect me to pay 50 pound renewal fee every time I renew my tenancy, when I buy my house next year I will be steering clear of Melvyn Danes a...

I have recently completed a sale and purchase with Melvyn Danes as the agent for both. All the staff are very professional, hands on and kept me informed throughout the entire process which was drawn out due to the initial buyer pulling out etc. Melvyn Danes would chase all the links of the chain and keep me up to date - something I know from experience is not always the case with estate agents. I would highly recommend them....

Recently bought property through Melvyn Danes. Both Lucy and Sam were very pleasant and helpful in my dealings with them. The sale however was very drawn out in terms of time which was not at any fault of Melvyn Danes however did feel communication could have been more frequent - which is when I called Sam to progress, and she quickly jumped on the case to assist and chase on my behalf. Lucy was on hand at the beginning of the process relating to the offer and she was extremely helpful. I am n...

Melvyn Danes are a very professional estate agent and throughout the sale of my property kept me informed of the progress and where necessary the need to prompt other individuals involved in sale to resolve concerns or issues. Having used Melvyn Danes on another sale I did not have any reservation on using them for this sale and they did not disappoint me. There local knowledge of the market is invaluable....

They are the worst kind of estate agent i have ever had to deal with!! Absolutely horrified by them. Left me with no heating in bathroom for 4 weeks and i have a toddler and elderly mother living with. They take over 2 months to fix things in the house and i dont get responses to my queries. Absolutely disgusted!!!!...

Well now there is yet another lie by mr Patrick because the oil filled radiator was not provided the next day!! It was provided 2 weeks after the complaint was made to them. I have evidence to prove it which im more than happy to post here. Yes i am taking the landlord Mr Hornby to court because as a tenant i have rights i will exercise them. Might i add, this Mr Patrick accidently called my number believing he was calling the landlords wife. And to my shock he started saying on the phone ...

Buying a property can be a very difficult and stressful task, but Sam Anderson at Melvyn Danes did a wonderful job throughout the buying process. She was prompt with the updates, good communication throughout the process and made sure the deal was completed smoothly as per our expected deadline. We as first time buyers will definitely recommend Melvyn Danes for their professional work as estate agents. Would extend our Thank you to Sam once again....

Pat , Sam and their team gave us such a smooth and efficient service. Totally hassle free, nothing was too much trouble. The teams gave us confidence and support when needed, professional and human at all times. Colleagues at work who were moving house at the same time using different agents had hassle and stress- we didn't thanks to the Team at both Wythall and Shirley. Great value for money too- one price , all in we knew where we stood for costs which when moving can run away with you. Pat's ...
