I started selling my grandparents property with Taylors roath, they organised viewings and the problems started. We asked them to call when they were done showing people round so we could come home, they didn't call, half hour after viewings were meant to end, freezing we headed home to see what was up. All lights on, gates opened no sign of agent. We get in, settle, warm up and nearly hour half later I call them to find out wtf. They say they will let us know in the morning the offers. I check cctv he left half hour early leaving, didn't call so we were out in the cold for a hour longer than needed was pissed. I end up calling them later next day as they never called get told of a 145k offer, a 125k the three 100k offers.... but the 125k one is cash, faster sale no mortgage to worry about so we take 20k loss and go for it as we want to move. Sales progressing and weeks in we get told its not actually a cash offer.... its a Ltd company mortgage still sound they assure us, we have done alot of the paper work, times pressing on we have put a offer on a house which was accepted as we would be cash buyers, that's what we had been told.... so we inform the estate agent we are buying from and they say its fine and we continue bit niffed that we missed out on 20k. During this time they also suprised us with asking for £400 upfront for the house we are buying for "searches" we were NEVER informed before hand of this so thanks for that cause I just have money lying round no wait I did tell them we didn't. Then over a month and half into paperwork for sale of old home and the purchase of our new home nearly complete, our buyer drops out as they don't like thier interest rate...wtf. thought this offer was cash then it was supposed a rock solid mortgage.... livid but keep it together. We then have Karl arranging more viewings, he offers Tuesday Wednesday, I say Tuesday partner works from home thats thier day off. He then calls asking for Saturday, said partners working we would have to stay in the house... nooo problem they would just poke thier heads in the room, they start booking in viewers going over the two hours... OK. Then we get a email saying we have to be out of the house for the viewings.. its minus two, we have no where to go and my partner is working from home they know all this. At this point I have lost it, they have made it difficult since day one, misrepresented offers, bought suprised charges and expected us to lose wages to fix thier cock ups. I am fuming. I wish I had never gone with Taylors Roath.

At the start of the pandemic my father died leaving me to deal with the property. After ringing Taylors they gave me advise about what I needed to do to get the property on the market and reassured me they would find me 'respectable' tenants. By October, Taylor was a good as their word ... Read Full Review

I booked to view a property and was told Justin would meet me there, and they would send me a text to confirm the house number and postcode. They didn't send a text but I was able to see from Google maps/street view which house we were viewing. We arrived a few minutes early to be safe, waited... Read Full Review

I used Taylors as I had a really positive experience when buying through them. This was a big mistake. The valuation was over £20,000 too high (which conveniently meant that I payed a higher rate). I must have spent a total of around 40 hours attempting to get hold of various staff at Taylors. I ... Read Full Review

Booked an appointment to view a property. A day later received a call to advise then property is not advertised correctly & it should say there was a sitting tenant. When I asked what the move out date / current contract situation was I was advised "Dunno, to be honest." Decided to ... Read Full Review
General professional courtesy would be nice when dealing with people who would be earning you commission.
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.
