Listed our house with both Blundells and House Simple. After a few months we'd had a single phone call from Blundells to let us know it had listed, and that was the extent of our contact. We had 0 viewings, 0 follow up communications, 0 information from Blundells. Our house had lots of viewings through House Simple, offers and finally a sale. We let Blundells know we had accepted an offer, and they said they would keep us on the market until completion - but a couple of days later the 'for sale' sign just disappeared and we heard nothing more. Sure, they didn't need to do any more, but is it not just courteous to call? In the same way we kept them up to date with the other side. We had also been purchasing a house through Blundells. But 6 months had passed since our initial offer (the vendor had kept the property on the market the whole time) and it became very obvious to us that it was overpriced (no other interest or offers during that huge period). We tried numerous times to re-negotiate the price, and asked Blundells double check their valuation - ending in us pulling out due to them not taking £2.5k less that we originally offered. The house has now sold another 4 months later for £62k under what we had offered - much more realistically to the area it was in - but a huge miss for the vendor. It's possible the vendor was very stubborn, but it felt a lot more like Blundells did not stress we were going to look elsewhere. They came back to us 2 weeks after pulling out with a £10k reduction, but too little and too late. Once again they didn't achieve a negotiation lower (which I discussed could reinterest us) and I believe that vendor lost out on a lot more money... Overall, this was an absolutely terrible experience using them, and from both sides of the market in one go! We'd avoided them before due to the costs, but we got a good deal from them this time, we won't bother again no matter what the deal!

Terrible Do not bother renting with them. They won't follow through with repairs properly. I lived in a property managed by them. For nearly two years I lived with extreme water damage in the roof. The final straw for me was a mouse infestation with a cheap pest control guy who took his... Read Full Review

By far the worst letting agency around. Totally incompetent and unprofessional, try to con you out of rent when it’s not due, a nightmare to get any repairs done, then after your tenancy ends try to charge you for the removal of extra wheelie bins that the council will collect FOC if you...

Their fee structure is ridiculous, you pay almost �200 for a simple credit check. The staff are rude, uninterested, and incompetent. We had four separate viewings, they showed us the wrong placed on two of those viewings... ... How can they mix up viewings? I wanted to view a house in... Read Full Review

I'm sorry I ever went anywhere near Blundells. Service has been poor from the start - they failed to put half of our deposit into a DPS and left it floating around in our account. This money has now been lost as a result of yet another of Blundells' failings. Staff are slow to reply to emails and ... Read Full Review

Where to start with this shambolic outfit? The only thing they actually manage is the removal of your money. I'm still waiting for my deposit to be discussed, let alone returned, because "the landlord hasn't responded yet"; it's been a month. We moved out after less than 6 months... Read Full Review
What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have been competent, courteous, helpful, polite, efficient, professional.... But they\'re incapable.

Different departments which don't communicate well with each other - so you can be passed from one to the... Read Full Review
What agent could do to change your mind?
1. Have a single fee of 10% with no hidden add-on costs 2. Have a single person who you can be confident will deal with all your issues with regard to a property 3. Employ enough experienced staff so that the staff do have time to deal with your issues as they arise 4. Issue proper readable contracts
