Landlords and tenants avoid this agent at all costs! They owe me money - are liars, promise the world and deliver nothing! Helen nicol and stephanie bull are both just extremely rude and have no people skills whatsoever - would never recommend - do not use!


What agent could do to change your mind?

Properly manage properties, ensure monies are paid, train staff correctly - Helen and Stephanie would benefit in a course on both property management and customer service!

Worst agency in the whole uk. This is my personal experience. I have been renting flats/houses with other agencies since 2010 and no agency deducted more than £26 of my deposit. Because i keep my place nice and tidy. Stayed with cryers for almost 2 years and worst experience ever. If ... Read Full Review

Worst agency ever! I do not recomment this for students. Avoid them at all costs. Their communication and service is terrible. They take an unacceptable amount of time to respond to maintainance issues, changes in the contract and basically everything. Their staff lack of knowledge and ownership. ... Read Full Review

The worst letting Agency I've ever used. They take absolutely no ownership or responsibility. I had dead rats in the house and their advice was 'spray some air fresher' until the smell goes.

We ended our tenancy recently after five years in a Cryers-managed flat. They were all right. Definitely seem more geared to students than to professionals or young families, and before the law changed to crack down on ridiculous letting/renewal fees they were artists of the form, but when we ...

Cryers offered an appalling service and were extremely incompetent. When we moved into the house there were a number of issues, which took months for them to resolve, and some of which were not solved at all over the year long tenancy. They then tried to take a large sum of money off our deposit, ... Read Full Review

For the first year with Cryers they had little to no contact with us regarding the disgusting kitchen that was supposed be replaced as promised at the start of the year and no action was taken throughout the whole year. They shifted the blame, as seems to be the theme of this company, on to the ... Read Full Review


Comments on Agent Fees

The fee is not so much of an issue when you get what you pay for, but all Cryers do is take your money and run. As soon as you have given them money they don't care about you and if any problems occur they will just redirect you to someone else even though they should be sorting that out internally.
