Sarah Mains might be great if you are a landlord or selling your property but if you are a renter, avoid Sarah Mains. Told us that our landlord was lovely and attentive and then for the next five years we proceeded to live in a propertly full of rising damp (which their own property inspector also ...

Really bad. We were told by the agent there was no interest in the house after the initial few days of the listing. Turns out they had a list of people interested that they hadn’t bothered to organise appointments for or ring back. Then they were telling potential buyers that they ... Read Full Review

Shocking and disgusting treatment of tenants. Our landlord prefers to use cowboy contractors and Sarah Mains fully supports his rogue behaviour, because of this our bathroom sinks overflow was never plumbed in unbeknown to us so when this obviously caused issues after living in the property for ...

The valuation and process for the tenant moving in was good. But the ‘management’ thereafter was non existent. The answer to any problem, was that it would not be something they could help with, the staff were unhelpful and defensive. I would consider using SM for a property ... Read Full Review

My mum called the agency to view a property, they advised that they can only do viewings between 9:30am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. This is not accommodating to the working people, the property is in Low Fell and they have advertised it as £800.00, this is clearly a rental property for ... Read Full Review

I can't thank the property team at Sarah Mains enough for their help, support and professionalism in selling our house and helping us with our onward purchase.

Halfway through ending our tenancy, our property management was handed over to a new contact in the company.

Paid an administration fee of 60% rent to move into a flat, only to be told on day of moving that the previous tenant was still in the property. Sarah Mains staff forgot to check when the previous tenant was moving so consequently, our move was delayed by a week and we've yet to receive an ... Read Full Review
