Think carefully about the letting agent you use, if you have the choice as a Tenant. Goadsby made it clear from the outset that they act for the landlord but was not until well into the process of drawing up an agreement that I would realize how difficult this statement would make it for me, the Tenant. In the end Goadsby just steam rolled forward not addressing my questions, concerns or getting the most basic aspects of what was agreed with the landlord included in the agreement. E.g. they simply failed to clarify what the role of a gardener was or implement the dating of the contract as agreed. Also each step of the way they would give me information piece by piece leading to hours of wasted time. I'm a landlord and a tenant and in both capacities I was urge you to try and find another agency.


What agent could do to change your mind?

The agent needs to balance the needs of the Tenant and the Landlord. It takes 2 to reach an agreement.

This was the worst renting experience ever few years ago. Starting prior to moving in, the agent only gave us few hours notice for paying the full deposit, even though we’ve chased for the details prior to it, otherwise we were not going to be able to move in on the date our contract...

There are many reasons to stay away from Goadsby, but I will start with the most troubling: My housemate was repeatedly told that she had not paid her rent for that month. She explained that she had paid but still the calls, which verged on threatening, persisted. She was being ordered to cough... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

I don\'t even know where to begin. There is absolutely nothing that Goadsby will do to help you. You will be left severely out of pocket.

Quite possibly one of the worst estate agents I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They seem to be completly inept at doing anything and their communication is lousy verging on rude and offensive. They refused to relay our offer to the vendor as in their words it wasn't 5% less than... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

Actually taking a buyer in a good position seriously. Actually relaying offers made on a property to the vendor Price houses according to what other agents and sold prices indicate for the area Avoid being blunt to customers and be open and approachable Just because you are an Estate Agent doesn\'t mean you can treat others like scum!

Not even worth the one star if you ask me! I was a current tenant with them in a student property, and they are the slowest, rudest people in the world!

What agent could do to change your mind?

Be more professional, doing their job instead of blaming others for their mistakes, or blaming the tenants instead of themselves. Telling us all the information we need to know at the beginning so no trouble like this would accrue so near to moving in dates! There is so much that they have no way of improving.
