As with all the other reviews below, my experience is uncannily comparable to an episode of White Collar, except with Homer Simpson (playing Philip Andrews) starring as lead character. I definitely corroborate all the descriptions deeming them unprofessional, incompetent, smug, unreliable, etc. At the end of the day, I was left without an apartment, a large empty space in my wallet where an excited £300 was anxious to earn its worth, and a shaken confidence in my ability to spot and deal with a conman. Despite multiple attempts to reunite my lonely wallet with its £300, Philly Philip Andrews continues to cowardly hide behind the support of his sheepish, yet endearingly maternal, staff. Yes, I am aware they are male, but oh how gently they rock that cosy cradle from where Philly proudly holds up banners citing the fine print of his bogus clauses. Very well played, Philly. After carefully reading and analysing the emails from our previous correspondence, I have finally deciphered your crafty strategy! I don't want to publicly unveil your secret to business success, but I will hint at that it's not so much in what you do say, but rather in what you don't say, ever, in any of the emails that you never replied to, unless you wanted money of course. I really admire how you have managed to employ this cunning strategy across your entire business model by never returning phone calls, never being available to take them in the first place, and having your staff sell, so well, the story that you do not own a mobile phone and are therefore unreachable except by email which, well, we've already been through that. Such finesse. Such ingenuity. Well played. PS: I sincerely hope you grace my review with one of your eloquent, professional, and really classy replies. They have definitely served your reputation well on this forum. A rating of 20594 out of 20787 branches in the whole of the UK! Quintuple digits, whoa, well done, you must be so proud.

First of all you secure the rental property with admin charges of £240 and thats the biggest scam, we had to chase up our own references, set up our own bills which they told us they would and they couldnt tell us who our electric provider were. Staff always promised us to return phone calls etc... Read Full Review

7 Nov 2011Thank you for you comments, how one can ascertain that a viewer is 'a waster' in its self is a little difficult for one to understand. Someone who takes the time to contact the agent arrange to go...

I was looking for a 4 bed detached house in Swindon. I tried to arrange a couple of viewing through Philip Andrews. They never got back to me, I had to chase them. I managed to make them arrange a viewing of one of the 2 houses after three weeks of calling and enquiring. On the day of the... Read Full Review

7 Nov 2011This is an untrue review; we act on a ;no sale no fee' basis so it is not rocket science to work out that if we do not sell property we do not get paid it is as simple as that. Having won...
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.
