We have all heard the saying 'buyer beware' – with Michael Graham it is definitely 'seller beware'. Having been specifically instructed to check our proposed buyers' status and ability to fund the purchase, Michael Graham confirmed the funds would come from the sale of a property on which the buyers had already accepted an offer and that the additional funds were available from elsewhere. For this, read 'your buyers need to sell a second property in a chain'. We knew nothing of t...

Comment on agent fees
Michael Graham considers itself to be the best estate agent and has fees consistent with this. To command fees at this level, the service provided needs to be faultless. The claims made on Micahel Graham's website of 'offer(ing).....an exemplary personal service for sellers' and including 'feedback and communication with our clients' are baseless and not justified.

This agent did not provide enough follow up once we accepted an offer on our property. The branch manager seemed apathetic most of the time and would push our questions/requests over to the sales negotiator who worked part time....

High fees, unfortunately the service does not match. We were not looking for value for money, we had hoped to receive an excellent service. On this occasion, we wasted our money.

i cannot recommend Michael graham enough and in particular Ben. He was always one step ahead of other local agents, so professional yet personable and would even show us around properties on his weekends off so we wouldn't miss out on a property. If we ever were to buy or sell in the future we wouldn't hesitate in contacting....

Total lack of customer care from the MK branch of Michael Graham. Poor communication throughout the sale, had to chase several times and no after sales care. I wasn't expecting a card, bottle of wine or flowers, but a simple follow up call a few days after moving in would have been nice....

From the first viewing of the property the communication was great. Perdita was great and shared in our enthusiasm for our new property. Once we moved in all queries were quicker answered and any problems with maintence swiftly sorted. Couldn't recommend the agents enough although I believe it was Perdita which really made the process easy and enjoyable!...

They inspected the property sending through an email detailing the most minute details such as baby oil left in a cupboard, they do their utmost to eradicate any deposit you have paid bit by bit....

The agents fees are the worst I have seen in over 15 years of renting properties. Enter into an agreement with them at your peril.

I have worked within the Property market for over 30 years, not directly selling property but around the print and building industry that has brought me in to contact with a great number of estate agents. Looking at placing my house on the market I was recommended to use Michael Graham in Northampton by a friend of myn who was 100% satisfied with their overall advise and commitment in selling his property. If I could mark Michael Graham and in particular Ian Jepson I would try and give the offic...

Always at the top of their game, any issues were dealt with in a timely manner and seen through to completion. A great team of people and a valuable asst to Michael Graham. Thank you all....

My husband and I have been impressed by Michael Graham Lettings. Everyone we dealt with were so friendly and helpful. The whole teams responsiveness and professionalism cannot be faulted. Perdita especially went above and beyond her duty to try to help us. In a very short time we realised just how good she was. We could not have got the home we wanted without her help. We highly recommend Perdita and Michael Graham Lettings if you are looking for help in securing a home to rent....

We used Michael Graham Stony Stratford as letting agents while we were overseas for 3 years. As soon as our tenants moved in we started to receive requests such as you need to replace the cooker as it's broken which in actual fact just amounted to the tenant not having reset the timer switch. However, what was very clear was that the Michael Graham team were merely acting as a conduit for messages while making no effort whatsoever to actually resolve anything themselves. Whenever we asked fo...

My partner and I rent through Michael Graham and have been delighted with the experience. The initial enquiry on the property was responded to by Michael Graham staff going above and beyond to provide viewings around our limited availability. Since becoming tenants, the ongoing customer service has been a class apart with any issues or enquiries being dealt with promptly and again, to suit our availability. Great job guys and keep up the good work!...

We have been tenants of Michael Graham for the past 3 years and have always found them to be polite and professional. They are very efficient in their dealings with you and always keep you informed of the progress of any issues you may have. All issues we have raised have been dealt with promptly and fairly and I would recommend them to any future tenants....

They accepted my money, did the referencing and drew up a tenancy agreement full of misspelled and illegal conditions. There was a clause where they requested that I agree for my personal information to be disclosed to ANY third party. These people are a bunch of cowboys that don't know a thing about the law. They are banking on prospective tenants being as ignorant as they are. Once I highlighted this clause, they withdrew the tenancy agreement 3 days to move-in, saying the landlord is no more ...

Yep, so far all I've had is crap legal & contractual knowledge, crap interpersonal skills, no negotiation skills & a belief (not unique to MGL sadly) that they hold all the cards. They don't. Their organisation works for you. Remind them or any other lettings agent of this when they expect you to pay them £10-£20k a year ...

Thank you Michael graham for your support, understanding and flexibility whilst we have been tenants in your property. You have made renting with 3 small children a positive experience for us and really helped us during a stressful move. You have always been easy to contact and have sorted out any problems that naturally occur in a home promptly and efficiently. Would definately rent from you again. Many thanks...

The application form they make you fill in as a tenant is incredibly intrusive (what on earth do they need my payroll number for). In addition they then try and con you into buy their accident insurance and their contents insurance. They finally inform you that a condition of the tenancy agreement is that you have insurance for accidental damage to the landlord\'s property (for an unfurnished house), which they will of course sell you, and they will not let you the property unless you have it.

Never be tempted to deal with them!! They say anything prior to being contracted, then afterwards, you will never get hold of them, they charged £130 for three light bulbs to be replaced, £75 to remove some pea\'s from the freezer and the oven to be re cleaned. It took six weeks to get the deposit back, they went on holiday!!! so couldnt organise it!! So much attidude you cannot belive it, deal with them and you will be sorry!!...

The worst letting agents I have ever dealt with - I will never waste my time or effort with them again. They will not respond to emails unless they want something from you. They ripped me off in regards to my deposit. Before you\'re in they will be the nicest friendliest people but once you\'ve signed the tenancy you\'ll be left high and dry. Even after leaving the property they are still being a nightmare having now lost all of my forwarded mail and claim they do not have a forwarding address...

Responded to my emails when I needed help, advice or simply to answer a question. Been polite and courteous instead of arrogant and rude. Repaid my deposit appropriately. Kept my forwarding details and at least informed me that they had mail for me. Or they could simply cease trading.........
