I would never use this agency. Joseph Murphy was all (transparent) charm until our offer was accepted. He was then aggressive and unpleasant to deal with, even though we discovered faults within their listing which caused the issues with the purchase. It did go through, but only because we really wanted the property. If this had not been the case, I would have walked away on principle. Sellers, they may put buyers off or lose you a sale... we were very close.
Not had Joseph Murphy on the staff- so aggressive and money driven.

Orchards of Acton London are the most unprofessional and crooked estate agents that I have come across, as well as incompetent and exploitative. They took rent from a tenant and never pay it to landlord. They took deposit and don't pay it into a deposit scheme despite the repeated empty ... Read Full Review
Terrible. Never trust them as they change percentage even after the agreement.

We worked with Amy when buying a property in Chiswick. I don't think I will ever find another estate agent who is so on top of things. She was friendly and professional, honest and up front and super helpful, even researching the best parking near the station. But where she really came into her own ... Read Full Review
We purchased through Orchards so didn't pay fees.

Disappointing. It was a great agent when me & my friend were finding the property. We stayed at the property they've found for us for 9 months. Then the problem started. We've made all the move out payments, outstanding bills and cleaning bills, which they chase after very quickly. But when it... Read Full Review

Absolute Disgrace ... This agency did find us a nice place, I admit. But after days of slaughtering us with charges and several credit checks, rushing us into paying full fees months before the move in date. If this isnt bad enough, after all of that was done and it was time to move in,... Read Full Review
The agent could have made sure everything was in order, as they promised. It is painful to pay some one for a service that they did not actually do.

Whilst we were able to sell our flat reasonably quickly through Orchards, I found our principal agent, Mr.Murphy to be extremely pushy, arrogant and unhelpful. Not only were we told in no uncertain terms that we were holding up the completion of the sale (which couldn't have been further from the... 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.
