This company is joke they take your money and then don't list your property for sale. Signed up to have the property on rightmove paid for the full service and then they refused to list the property
Taken payment and not delivered on the service promised therefore the fees are a rip off

My wife and I wanted to view a rental property in Folkestone, and the initial conversation with the landlord went well: he asked for relevant details, then we agreed on a time slot for the viewing, and the landlord promised to be in touch with further info (e.g. exact address etc.). 2 day before ...

I just left an inquiry for a property, a moment later the landlord messaged me asking his relevant questions. He then ended the conversation saying they've had over 120 inquiries and he's found a tenant. Once a property is let out why not take your advert down rather than wasting ... Read Full Review

I sent an enquiry 2 days ago with still no response and I am on a short time frame and most other places respond the same day. But you don't even have a phone number to ring to speak to someone instead its just a rubbish automated system that takes you through the same process as before which ... Read Full Review

Don't book a viewing pack with them. They're fine for advertising as you pretty much do everything yourself anyway but absolutely do not book a viewing pack. We paid £335 for unlimited viewings and spent lots of time chasing them because they didn't book any of the that viewings we ... Read Full Review
We paid £335 for a 1 hour slot of viewing on one day - refused to refund us so that we paid the correct £99 fee for this work

As a tenant they totally ripped us off!!! They supply an invoice for £180 for two credit checks. Once you have paid via Paypal they then tell you the criteria needed. We felt the information should be available to prospective tenants before they have to part with their cash. I needed a ... Read Full Review

I have just sold my London home using Visum. I previously had an estate agent but after 6 weeks I realised that why should I pay an agent 1-2% of my sales proceeds for doing something that I could do myself. All they do is advertise the property on Rightmove and Zoopla and wait for enquiries to ... Read Full Review
Excellent. Sold my house for £100. The cheapest high street agent charges 1% + VAT would have been almost £5k.

The whole process took a long time, hence my delay in writing the review, but that was a problem with the buyer's solicitor. The 'sale' occurred pretty quickly. Just be warned that they are not a hand-holding operation - you do all the viewings yourself, but then for £90 to sell a house should ... Read Full Review

My property is in a popular village, so that may have helped, but I had 5 enquiries in the first day and roughly the same for the next 2 days until I took the ad down. Highly recommended as long as you're happy to do some legwork (viewings and so on). I am because I want to personally meet people ... Read Full Review

I've used Visum as a landlord for a number of years and felt I owed them enough to write them a review after reading the above comments, which do not reflect my experience at all.

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.
We follow the Property Ombudsman code of conduct, so rest assured that if you have a complaint it will be resolved fairly.
