I have never experienced such a dreadful company as Connells. Bearing in mind that I've dealt with a lot of telecoms companies, that's saying something! The staff at the branch were second to none in their abilities to make unfulfilled promises, be incapable of carrying out the simplest of tasks or even make the barest minimum effort to sell my property. All this despite their advertising saying they would do all in their power to sell the property. From the off, they were less than honest and this carried out through the entire process with such things as making up potential buyers, lying about buyers ability to fulfil the purchase and not leaving the property in the state it was found. I could go on, but the list of misdemeanours is pretty long and would make for dull reading. I thought that maybe it was a bent branch and that the Head Office would be disturbed to hear of my experiences. Unfortunately, it turns out the Head Office is a bent, if not more so, than the branch. One suspects the branch has been given an award for getting away with so many bold lies. They have been trained to lie with such efficiency that if you take your complaint to The Property Ombudsman, the Ombudsman just says, “It's your word against theirsâ€Â. Given that British law is there to protect the interests of criminals, the Ombudsman failed to bring Connells to task for the majority of their dishonest dealings. Connells are forever to be remembered as CONhells to us. Please learn from my mistake and do not use them. If you seriously wish to sell a property, steer clear of this leviathan. Find a small local agent who will bust a gut to get the sale. They will do it for a lot less than Connells.

21 Apr 2013I had a brilliant experience using Connells. The staff were all very friendly. Honest and very helpful. I didn't expect my house to be sold in days, it sold within 4 weeks and I got almost asking price. Connells told me to decline a offer because they thought they could get more even though I thought it was a pretty good offer! They were right.... I got a much better offer the following week. Worth every penny!! A brilliant professional team! Xxx

I first rang up the store and asked a valuation on my property several months ago due to a divorce, I spoke to a gentleman called Leigh Williams, who was very helpful chap and then came over to the house and talked me through what options I had. This was a very difficult period and it was... Read Full Review

Rubbish for selling. I'm a buyer looking to get a new place and they will not take viewings unless you see their mortgage advisor first. Their hard sell is that having an appointment with them will put me in a good position, basically implied they would scratch your back if you scratch... Read Full Review

I recently sold my house through Connells and ended up doing most of the work myself, having to deal with the buyer directly! After conducting viewings, they consistently failed to provide any feedback unless I went to their shop to speak to them. This was particularly galling, as I was also... Read Full Review

The. WORST. ESTATE AGENTS i have ever worked with! I have to say the Kingswood Branch in Bristol are being run by complete ameteurs who are only about making a quick buck. I have bought and sold properties for over 10 years and Connells in Kingswood are by far the worst agency ever. Firstly, ... Read Full Review

In the 30 years I have been buying, selling and renting property, I have never come across an estate agent as bad as Connells in Kingswood, Bristol. If you have a choice, avoid these guys at all costs. Issues have included: Failing to pass information between buyer and seller; Failing to... Read Full Review

Terrible as they will take extra money for the deposit despite what the documents tell us.

I have had a very bad experience dealing with incompetent staff, no-one knows whats going on. I was charged twice for everything 2 months in a row so have been chasing refunds non-stop. I also had to pay a court fee of £100 because they didn't forward my Council tax letters to me, and they... Read Full Review

Upon speaking to the staff members Kat and Chantelle originally, I had no issue with the service. We arranged a viewing for the house we were interested in, and on the day, drove hours across the country as we were looking to relocate to Bristol from elsewhere. Some 20 minutes away from the...

Maybe actually spoken to us and just told us from the start if they weren\'t going to arrange viewings for us. Or better yet, spoken to the landlord and got a clear yes or no.
