EXTREMLY UNPROFESSIONAL!! My pregnant wife made an appointment to view property, Goadsbys agent didn't show up. We called them and they said that the appointment was scheduled at a different hour so we went to the agency to find out what is going on. Their agent told us that they can go with us right now to show us the property and we agreed to met at the flat. Please imagine that we went there once again and their agent didn't show up...AGAIN!! even after we had that conversation face to face 10 min ago. I called them again to find out that they cannot let us to view the propery because it is too late now. That was on Saturday. I called on Monday and they promised to call me back, didn't happened. I am very patient person and I turned this situation into lauh, unfortunately it was worse with my pregnant wife! Save yourself trouble and frustration and go somwere else.

Goadsby Estate agent warning to other home owners. I signed up to them with the hope the would sell my property. They offered a fix commission to do so. It turns out that the prospects they were sending were unqualified to come anywhere near puting in a reasonable offer. To me it seem when you... Read Full Review

Goadsby is the worst in terms of the way they treat people. The whole trauma they subject me to is beyond words, and I won't go the details of it. Let's just say that it lasted a whole 8 months of endless communication with them getting them to allow me to terminate my contract, return... Read Full Review

I can only echo the comments made by various other customers of Goadsby in various reviews. Having recently rented a property via this estate agent, I found them extremely poor in terms of customer service, starting from the initial contact when the local agent arrived late for a viewing and then...

Goadsby should be avoided at all costs. As a tenant, they will make it very difficult to move out by refusing reasonable requests for a reference upon leaving a property. They refuse to tell referencing companies whether or not you paid your rent on time or the state of the property. Instead, they... Read Full Review

Service is very pool.They started doing a long set of questions over the phone. And when I said that I would be happy to place an offer if I like the property advancing the rent for 6 months, they basically treated me like a crook, or some sort of criminal. Then they abruptly ended the... Read Full Review

I chose Goadsby from 3 agents who visited the property as Charlotte Anning demonstrated the best local knowledge of the area and impressed with her professional and very positive attitude. Then throughout the period, Rebecca Peters kept me regularly up to date with the sale progress. I was very ... Read Full Review

It seems there is no smoke without fire!! First and last time I will deal with this unprofessional outfit!! The Schoolboy comments are a fair assessment of the level of service they offer.

I contacted Goadsby 2 weeks ago when I spotted a studio flat I liked that they were letting. Gary @ Goadsby took me to visit it and was brilliant, he offered some excellent advice on bill costs and planning (I've only ever rented bills included properties) and took me to view another 1 bedroom...

Please avoid this agency, at all cost!! I am trying to escalate a formal complaint about "how they treat their tenants fairly." They are all for the landlords. Please, please avoid!!!! Don't not use them, I have being renting for years and they are by far the worst and most expensive... Read Full Review

From personal experience with this letting agent, my friend and I would not recommend this service to anyone. To begin with, after viewing the property, we decided the same day we would like to pay our fees and go through referencing. It went smoothly as they were taking our money, but soon after,...

These people are a useless waste of space, they are supposed to "manage" our building - they are shocking in this role, I have never experienced such profound arrogance from people in a supposed customer relations role. It has been impossible to deal with them in a sensible manner and ... Read Full Review

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.
