I have found the staff of the Woodbridge branch consistently rude, unhelpful and obnoxious. They have failed to carry out all simple requests and have dealt with our wish to end out tenancy in a wholly unprofessional manner - We had to wait for a month for someone to fix it so we had hot water, it took two months of constant visits to get out shower fixed, and an additional month for a new on to be installed when that failed. It was also discovered several months ago that our flat did not actually have a flip switch, or any means of cutting power in an emergency. Nothing has been done about this, which I am sure is a violation of our safety. I was absolutely mortified when a particular member of staff deemed fit to barge into my work place, demand to speak to me, and in front of my colleagues and customers concur that we were supposed to be ending our tenancy three weeks early - At less than 24 hours notice. This was a complete deviation from the written confirmation given to them by myself. I had given two month notice, out of courtesy, within which they could have contacted me with any queries or to finalise any details but instead they assumed a date convenient to themselves and lead another to believe that they could in fact move into our flat while we still had three weeks of out notice remaining. Throughout, they have provide help, assistance and service of an abysmal standard - this is not a company that I would advocate in any way as not one member of staff has displayed any form of competence in the two years of their "service" I have experienced...

We found Scott at Gobbitt and Kirby (G & K Estates) to be a very experienced agent with considerable local knowledge who demonstrated great competence and provided a very professional service. He was quite prepared to go that extra mile to co-ordinate all parties involved in the sale of our ... Read Full Review

Appalling on every conceivable level. Almost pathological inability to take any responsibility for any action. Withheld rent collected on my behalf for 4 months. I was told this was quite normal! Failed to regularly inspect the property and told me it was my responsibility even though I was paying ... Read Full Review
If they paid me it would still be too expensive

Had a viewing arranged for 3pm. Rang to say would be 10 min late, only to be told by the agent that she had cancelled the viewing at my own request "because the house was not near a shop/pub" - this being a house in the middle of a town! Without access to my email, I could not be sure ... Read Full Review
Nothing. She was rude and incompetent and there is no way I would use them again.

[[EDIT ORIGINAL START]] The team in Woodbridge were Excellent and this review does not reflect them at all. The boss at G&K, Scott Matheson-Barr, however, is deceitful, slimy and totally unhelpful - and I was paying his commission! I needed a shower after dealing with him. [[EDIT ORIGINAL ...

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.
