Unfortunately We purchased a property through strakers. Without ranting here are the general issues we had * Always late for viewings * Communication was poor, they forgot to advise the seller we were viewing the property meaning we walked in on the previous owner crying whilst removing photos of her recently lost mother, to which they also arrived 30 minutes late! * research the incident regarding a well in malmesbury, this incident is an event that shows poor knowledge of what they were selling. we never got a straight answer on certain things either. * our plumbing failed on completion day, when I called the office they advised they knew the previous owner as a proffesional plumber and that he would visit to fix the issues, he arrived and was rude whilst making the plumbing issues even worse before leaving. * When I called and spoke to the director he was rude and extremely unhelpful, very much showed the attitude of we have your money now so you need a legal battle. I may of had a one off experience... but the experience I had was shocking. I will avoid them like the plague in future.

Having used the services of Straker & Co a couple of times in the last ten years, it was refreshing in the last sale (April 2017) to deal with professionals.So many organisations these days promise so much and deliver a very poor quality of service, in the case of Straker Malmesbury, it was...

I just want to thank every one at the Malmesbury Strakers office for working so hard on my behalf. When my sale fell through at the last minute in December - the first thing that happened was a big bunch of flowers - then a long conversation to analyse what had happened. When I put the house back... Read Full Review
Many people would have negotiated a reduction in fees after the first sale fell through. I didn't do that because they are worth every penny.

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.
