Raine and Co, 11 Market Place, Hatfield
Would you use this agent again? No

I haven't had a good experience with this agent and I think that other potential buyers should know about what they are like before they deal with them. So please see the string of emails below between myself and the agent. Sensitive information such as my name, address of the property and amount offered have been removed and replaced with X's:

Preston Baker, 6 St Anns Road, Leeds
Would you use this agent again? Yes

We initially had our flat on the market with the Agent that we purchased it through (based close to a popular fried chicken retailer in Headingley). The property was listed with them for a long period of time and we were ultimately disappointed with their unrealistic pricing, lack of motivation in drawing attention to our property (despite our paying for a Premium Listing) and the scarcity of viewings they managed to achieve. As an example, on one of the few occasions they did bring viewers ar

cmRENT
Would you use this agent again? No

My experience with CMrent has been stressful, upsetting and frustrating. I would strongly advise anyone considering to rent a property with this company to reconsider and use another letting agency. The staff are unorganised, showed poor communication skills both within their own branch as well as between branches (eg: Chelmsford lettings office and Braintree maintenance office). They also charge extraordinarily high rates of renewals (£200 for 12 months in our case) and start up fees. I have u

Alexander Greens, Office 1a 23-25 Gwydir Street, Cambridge
Would you use this agent again? No

Please DO NOT rent with Alexander Greens!

I moved into a house in Orchard Park, Cambridge on a 6 month contract with people who I all ready knew, so I hoped that the move would be easy and enjoyable.

Alexander Greens have made all of our lives EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. From endless fees and charges hidden in the tenancy agreement; such as £150 if you want to move out, £90 to leave at the end of your contract and £50 just to carry on living there! The list goes on...

We've had issues rega

Goodchilds Estate Agents, 33 Market Place, Cannock
Would you use this agent again? No

They did not put up a To Let board.
They did not advertise on the internet until 4 weeks after they had promised to, and then only put up a photo of the outside of the property, despite me chasing them many times and even providing photos myself.
They did not make their terms and conditions clear until the tenant was about to move in, when they handed me a contract to sign, by which time it was too late to back out as I could not afford to leave the property empty for another month (it had

Review by Will on 8th January 2014
Oakham Property Services, 20a Church Street, Oakham
Would you use this agent again? No

I have rented 2 properties from this agent over a period of 3 years both had issues, some major, that were never resolved. They are only interested in the money that they can get out of you. The first house had a condemmed gas fire that was left to fall to pieces on the wall and a conservatory that was falling down along with some other minor problems that it took forever to get fixed. My tenancy was ended by the 'landlady' in the end after 18 months but I have since found out that OPS frequentl

Winkworth, 393 Green Lanes, London
Would you use this agent again? Yes

My recent experience of selling a house using Winkworth estate agents in Palmers Green, London has been very positive and I would have no hesitation in recommending this estate agency to others. I have not used this company before and have no connection to the company other than the recent house sale for which I am happy to provide a review.

My main contact was Ahmet Hussein, Senior Negotiator, although in the course of the sale various other staff members were also involved including Nick,

Molica Franklin, 69 High Street, Littlehampton
Would you use this agent again? No

I've been renting from Molica Franklin for 10 months now. We were initially informed upon viewing the property that it had a lockable garage. This was not the case. They refused and the landlord refused to pay for a lock to be fitted so I had to wean my baby in a kitchen surrounded by tools, a bike and gardening equipment, which could not be left in an unsecured garage.
I notified them that our fence had come down (thus leaving our property unsecured) over 4 months ago, initially notifying them

Review by annoyedtenant on 8th January 2014
Martin & Co, 25 Bridge Street, Newport
Would you use this agent again? No

We are absolutely appalled and shocked by the lack of communication and common knowledge of certain members of staff at this branch. Several times we have called, and gone into the branch to speak to the member of staff responsible for the bonds, to be told she's either out of the office or on lunch.
Our complaint and concern for a refusal of bond to be returned by the most rude arrogant and two faced land lord of 40B tunnel terrace has left us short for our mortgage after changing her mind 1
