As a Purchaser, I have just had to withdraw from a property after being misled. I have also been shouted at, spoken to in a very patronising manner and had the phone slammed down on me twice. VERY UNPROFFESIONAL. To be avoided at all costs. I think they need a lesson in people skills. I have tried ... Read Full Review

One of the worst agencies I came across. Have paid £600.00 agency fees in Jan 2019 for two people and service what has been received is not even worth a penny! Flat has been advertised furnish or unfurnished. We have agreed to keep the furniture. Once we moved in there was no ... Read Full Review

I called the office (gillingham) to book a viewing, the gentlemen on the other end was lovely, He said he would contact the landlord and get back to us. A week passed and I called again to check in and another man this time told me that they still hadn't heard anything and would get on it ... Read Full Review

Terrible experience. They are unprofessional, inexperienced and needed constant prodding and prompting before progressing with any part of the house sale process.

Without a doubt, THE WORST company I have ever dealt with. If I could give no stars I would. To say that they are slow is an understatement. You report an issue (which we have had almost twenty) and they simply do not address it. We love our home, but have had problems with the boiler, problems ... Read Full Review
After paying them, we found out that their fees are much much higher than everywhere else.

Honestly the most un helpful un professional letting agency ever. I have rented in different parts of the country and have never had such a negative experience from start to finish. Firstly, they tried to charge close to £500 just for reference checks ( kindly reduced to £350!!!) which ... Read Full Review

Terrible experience. As a landlord I paid them to manage a property. Over two years there have been several problems including them trying to sell me services I 'legally required' (I didn't). They subsequently failed to send me the leaving survey when the tenant left and I had to chase it for 2 ... Read Full Review

My daughter spoke to one of your agents today about a let she was interested in. Unfortunately she did not get his name ( it was late in the afternoon) .

I would never ever recommend the lettings department. They are incompetent and customer service are not words they would ever recognise. Rude and lazy service full of promises but never delievered.

I give Beth 4 stars for Palmer Snell. I'm a young person from care and currently heavily pregnant I have been trying to find a home since the start of my pregnancy.

I would not even give this estate agent 1 star. The worst estate agents I have ever come across. we applied for a property making them fully aware that we had a 6 month old dog and were willing to move as soon as possible. The landlord had accepted our offer and the paperwork was going ahead the ... Read Full Review
very expensive fees considering there was no urgency to get anything going
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.
