This is the worst agency I have ever used. Was constantly lied to and told the landlord was away and could not sign the contract when they were just too lazy to send the contract. This resulted in the contract not being signed until the day before we moved in. When I called Connells with my concerns I was laughed at. At the end of our contract when new tenants wanted viewings we were not given warning before viewings. And now that we have moved out Connells are not responding to emails or answering phone calls regarding the return of our deposit after we have agreed with the landlord. Appalling behaviour and I will never use them again regardless of how nice the house is. I would recommend everyone avoids them at all costs. My new agency couldn’t be more different.

Emma, Sam and Richard were amazing in helping me get my first house purchase across the line. They were there from the viewing to helping with getting my solicitors moving when completing. Would have lost a lot more sanity without... Read Full Review

I've used Connells to rent and manage a property in St Albans for several years. The branch staff are great, but the management service is bad beyond belief. It has incurred additional expense and a lot of administrative hassle to finally change agents, but no-one could possibly do a worse job ... Read Full Review

The house was on sale with a different agent for more than 4 weeks, we only had 3 views. Contacted Dough at Connells, the same day he arranged for someone to evaluate the property, we agreed their fees. We received a formal offer 5 days after it has been listed with Connells, Doug followed the... Read Full Review

Recommended. Connells in St. Albans have been explempoary from start to finish.

We gave our business based on the... Read Full Review

I had a contract with Connells in St Albans earlier this year to market my house. I had little response so I ended the contract on 5th April of this year.

My experience with this agency was an extremely bad one and I would not recommend them. They were extremely bad at communicating and the Manager was argumentative and rude when I was unable to return his call on one occasion. Needless to say, we took our house off the market with them and it... Read Full Review

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.
