Unfortunately there is no option to leave no stars. Our experience with Connells Estate Agency has been disappointing and frustrating. Despite choosing to seel our house with them due to their familiarity, we encountered poor communication and unprofessionalism throughout the process. From inaccurate advice provided by their mortgage advisor which led to delays and unnecessary stress and wasting money on our part, to feeling pressured to accept offers from investors, it became clear that our interests as clients were not prioritised. Despite assurances, the agency failed to address our concerns effectively, leaving us with a lack of confidence in their reliability and credibility. Overall, if you want to have a stress free, professional sale DO NOT choose Connells to present your home to the market!

Alicia has been absolutely brilliant as our mortgage advisor. From the very beginning, she kept us consistently informed and updated throughout the entire process — even though things are still ongoing, she has already gone above and beyond us. Her communication has been incredibly smooth, clear,... Read Full Review

Never using this company again. Were extremely unhelpful whilst renting and being even worse now waiting for a deposit. Have had to go through TDS to get it back and Connells wrote to them to extend the decision time. It has now been 4 months and they couldn't care less. Funny when they... Read Full Review

Terrible surveyors. Performed a survey on our flat and incorrectly identified a health and safety issue with our windows that was contradictory to national legislation, putting our whole sale in jeopardy. What makes matters worse is they are uncontactable as they hide behind their estate agents ... Read Full Review

Awful - didn't turn up for a viewing, phoned them, they said there should be someone there, waited and then left. No one from Connells showed up and it was 3 days later before they called to say 'sorry we missed you, would you like to rebook'. In the meantime we have had an offer... Read Full Review

Connells basingstoke are EXCELLENT. After being on the market with another estate agent for 10 months we had no luck with selling our property. They did not comunicate well and didnt really take an intrest so we decided to switch over to Connells. Best decision we ever made. We went into the branch ... Read Full Review

I am a landlord, connells 'fully' managed a property of mine and I shall never use them again. Overall my experience with connells has been nothing short of exasperating. I had to chase ALOT. The phone never seemed to be manned and unbeknown to me when agreeing to let them manage, that... Read Full Review
Bad, not value for money at all. I managed the property in the end because they weren’t competent enough to do so.

When my wife and I were looking for a house to buy, Connells phoned me at least 4 times a week without fail with new properties and asking if we'd like to view another property, we also had signed up to other estate agents so we were looking at lots of houses, I'm just upset that the...

INSTRUCTED CONNELLS ON THE BASIS THAT THEY SOUNDED 'GENUINE'. WITHOUT REALISING HAD SIGNED UP FOR 26 WEEKS. WE WERE ADVISED THAT ALL BUYERS WERE VETTED AND MORTGAGE READY. HAD 2 POTENTIAL BUYERS THAT TURNED OUT TO BE MAKING OFFERS ON MULTIBLE HOUSES AND WE WERE ASSURED THESE TYPE OF BUYER ... Read Full Review
I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE FEES WERE AWFUL AND SPOKEN TO A COUPLE OF AGENTS WHO HAVE CONFIRMED WHAT THEY WOULD CHARGE. IF I HAD GONE WITH ANOTHER AGENT AS WELL AS CONNELLS IT WOULD OF COST ME NEARLY £15000 IN FEES. AS THEY DIDNT SELL I PAID FOR PHOTOS ONLY

Bit steep for a guarantor check fee
