Michelle was very pro active in finding a buyer for my house. She advertised the house and kept me informed on any potential buyers and in doing so I had a good offer for my house within 2 month's. Michelle was honest, patient and friendly. Then Kate was dealing with the house sale from There. ... Read Full Review
I paid £1200 for the sale of my house. It was the lowest price I was offered. With the Customer service I had received I was more than happy to pay the money.

I have chosen this agency to help me with renting a house for the first time and it hasn't been a smooth process. In fact, I ended up giving up renting the property with them. Total lack of information. As I was trying to rent for the first time I was oblivious to loads of things (broadband and ... Read Full Review
I'm not bothered by the fees, they're no better with any other agent. Paying does not bother me as long as I get a service. In this case, consider me bothered.

A total and utter rip off. They will not intervene at all to manage tenants, just send round a handyman, plumber, electrician, at extra cost to you for the most trivial of matters. I do not joke, I was charged for an electrician because the tenant did not plug the cooker hood on, and again to ... Read Full Review
An absolute disgrace that they think they can take such a large fee for providing nothing but extra charges for trivial issues.

As a landlord, I am really struggling with this letting agent. They ignore correspondence, don't notice when rent is late or in arrears, palm off quotes for work that are not itemised and are clearly inflated and tell outgoing tenants that the house is in a great state despite them having ...

They would be good IF the agent actually did any of the work. As it is, I'm paying for nothing.

After renting for the last year with RMS I have to say that they are awful at getting back to any repairs that need doing and they have shown a complete lack of competence and care towards their customers that rent houses with them. If you want friendly, efficient estate agents I would avoid Rook ... Read Full Review
Extortionate for a few credit checks, the first fee given was increased after they wanted a reference from a previous estate agent.
