TENANT's BEWARE! I love the flat I rent from them but I regret the day I ever got involved with Clarke's Letting Agents in Bognor. Most of the staff are lovely and helpful, however there are a few stinkers who ruin it massively for the company. When I viewed the property everything was bliss, however a year later… Name: Lee. He is new to the business, but that is no excuse for terrible customer service. Situation was dealt with in a highly unprofessional manner, shouted down the phone at us and demanded we came to the office ‘TODAY' as it was urgent, had a raised voice in the open office, all staff and prospective customers heard sensitive information, his voice echoed around the room. He accused us of things we didn't do, made out to be horrific things, Lee was surprised that we felt the need to defended ourselves (as we had not been given the opportunity to explain our situation… he didn't care). What we were being accused of affects both of our jobs and is highly upsetting. We wanted it to be resolved - nothing was resolved because he told us to continue as normal - a complete waste of our time on a Saturday afternoon (our only day off in over 2 weeks). Something that should have been dealt with in a polite phone call, e-mail or letter. He was rude, loud and aggressive in nature, didn't listen to us and only accused, nothing was resolved. He was only worried about his reputation not us, the tenants. In Summery: Uncompassionate *******. Very poor customer service. Highly unprofessional. Do not touch with a barge pole…. EVER!

Be warned do not trust this company. We agreed to rent a garage and accepted their terms. We were promised a return call and copies of lease. Four days later a second applicant appears and we are asked to make an offer. The lack of professionalism and communication is beyond belief and this company ... Read Full Review

I found Paul to be astonishing! I was offering my seller full asking price with no reduction on survey, despite apron 7K of structural repairs as identified by the surveyor. Paul told me , he could put the sellers house back on the market, get an immediate sale and that the seller didn't... Read Full Review

This was the third property we have sold through Clarkes - two at their Arundel office and this latest one through their Bognor Regis branch. We found all the staff we dealt with absolutely superb and professional. They kept us in the loop at all times and were quite happy to ring us well out of... Read Full Review
Their fees were not only very reasonable in our opinion, but entirely justifiable. The property was beautifully marketed with excellent photographs and we were able to accept an offer within two days.

Do not let out your property through Clarke. We had two properties managed by them between 2012 and 2014. They were hopeless. They let the tenants to trash our properties. First the staffs were very nice and helpful. But, they changed staffs frequently. The managers did not know what they were... Read Full Review

They always side with the tenant. I am always the last person to know about repairs because they only contacted me when there was a bill to pay. There are always repairs. When I was asked by Clarkes if the tenant could make some changes I said NO very clearly. The tenant Jane Hater proceeded... Read Full Review
He charged the tenant 180 for lease renewal and me 180 for lease renewal. What's that about?

Just wanted to say that twice I have walked into the Bognor Office and not been acknowledged and furthermore both times I have heard very bad language from the blonde haired guy who I can only assume is a sales staff member as I don't know his name. I can safely say I will not be selling my house... Read Full Review

Went into Bognor office to ask them where I could find one of their competitors in the town centre as the area is unknown to me. Basically, a very rude member of staff more or less told me to get out of his office with quite an aggressive manor ! I will not be going back in there whilst I am... Read Full Review

Most of the staff I dealt with were very pleasant, but Paul was extremely unpleasant. He was constantly phoning and demanding things which were beyond my control. He had a bullying attitude and showed not the slightest consideration for anyone - not only was he like this with me but with my selling ... Read Full Review

How this man sleeps at night is any-ones guess. If you want to leave these agents as a landlord forget it. They will try and charge you an extortionate price to do so, just so you can't. They will try every trick in the book. If you want to be reduced to tears, bullied by Paul Clarke then join ... Read Full Review

Spoke to a young lad who was very helpful and set up a viewing and gave me info on all the admin charges. A day later I decided i needed more info on the property. I spoke to a female and asked...

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.
