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!

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

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

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

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.
