We were on their listings a year . I that time we had two viewings and three or cancellations. One of the viewer came and knocks the door to tell us that our estate agent could not answer any questions and didn’t get back to them with answers. A cancellation came to us directly to say the estate ... Read Full Review
We paid for the energy efficiency rating. How they calculate that is a mystery ?

Well, well, well! I best have my say on this farce of a firm.....one silly lie from the head of lettings put in place a chain of events that nobody at Symonds and Sampson could ever have imagined possible. Do not trust the lettings department in any way, shape or form, the head of department ... Read Full Review

It isn't surprising that the sales team can not find any applicants to join the Blandford office. Job adverts rolling on, senior lettings staff moved in to keep an eye and babysit the head of lettings and her team. This after herself and her staff had a string of serious unprofessional ...

Avoid this company unless you want a disappointment. They claim they "didn't receive the paperwork" when their client changed their mind regarding a deal. When a complaint was raised, surprise surprise, they found no wrongdoing by their company. Who would have thought that a ... Read Full Review

Where to start with this awful agent. A firm is only as good as their worst employee, and for Symonds and Sampson, it is their Partner and Head of Lettings Rachael J who gains that title. If you're a member of staff, be aware that your private appraisals with Rachael may get gossiped around ... Read Full Review

Blandford. Promises made never kept. Would never recommend completely unprofessional with aggressive and bully boy tactics. Poor contact, issues with listing both timescales and accuracy.

It seems the agents in Axminster lacks professionalism. I travelled from London to Devon (during C-19) asking them to advise if the property had an offer on it. Then I would cancel my journey. They failed to advise me even when I asked before travel. Then I popped into the office and still did ... Read Full Review

If you're looking for a friendly, reliable agent I'd recommend you look elsewhere. I've had a mortgage for 20+ years and this was my first rental experience. Repairs haven't been carried out, contracts were incorrect and staff are intimidating - this relates to the Bridport ... Read Full Review

Incredibly disappointed with this estate agent. They tried to sell me a 3 bed including loft conversion as a 4 bed, despite not having building regulation sign off. This meant they could attempt to get more for the property rather than the actual value of a 3 bed. Standard behaviour for a shady ... Read Full Review

Over the past 6 months of renting a property through S&S I have encountered numerous problems.

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.
