Andrews, 128 High Street, Tewkesbury
Would you use this agent again? No

This might be a long one! I would like to add that Mandy did provide good customer service throughout as well as Vicki and Jodie. Lovely women to speak to.
My partner and I went to a view a property, we needed to provide a guarantor, which wasn't an issue. . Our move in date was the 25th of June, I should add. We paid our holding deposit on the 2nd of June, for which we received the confirmation email just over two weeks later, on the 16th of June. Our application forms for referencing were th

Whirlybird Property, 2 Orchard House, High Street, Maidenhead
Would you use this agent again? No

When applying for tenancy here with a friend, it all started off well. We both decided to find a place to live on our own away from shared accommodation as we'd recently started new, permanent jobs in the area.

Friendly staff member arrived early showed the flat in a good condition. After a few days we decided to proceed with the tenancy here. I promptly paid the asking price for the tenant and referencing fees (which compared to some other agencies is vastly more expensive and almost totally u

Dexters, 170 High Street, London
Would you use this agent again? No

A bunch of irresponsible and unprofessional agents, who almost left us homeless...We tried to use their services when we found a suitable flat to rent in Acton area. We discussed with them and made them aware of our situation (that my partner is employed and I was about to start working, pending successful security checks - which was not an issue, as I have been security cleared for the last 12 years and explained this to the agent). The agent acknowledged the situation, assured us that there wa

Ilford Homes, 374 ilford lane, Ilford
Would you use this agent again? No

My wife an I are on the market for a property in East London, having sold our flat in Canary Wharf, we are aspiring to a garden and some extra room for the kid and myself as I am now working from home.

I was giving the agent a feedback after viewing a property that I didn't like, nothing was done in it since last purchase a year ago and the garden was used a a kennel, yet the price was bumped a 100k. So I though this attempt at piggybacking on our 20 years hard work a 100k in one year without d

Stirling Ackroyd, 179 High Street, Egham
Would you use this agent again? No

Awful experience, appalling service & shocking costs ƒÂ¢¢â€šÂ¬¢â‚¬Å“ never dealing with Townends again!
Long list of unpleasant encounters but I will try to share in less words.

Lied about moving in date, verbally promised we could move in 1-2 weeks earlier but as soon we paid the deposit agent was unreachable & never returned calls.

Poor service: no locks on 2 toilets/bathrooms & 3 bedrooms, requested but never got fitted in 19 months of tenancy (too busy?).

Horrible

Review by Saga on 2nd July 2015
The Property Bureau (Glasgow), 74 Port Street, Stirling
Would you use this agent again? No

This property bureau rented me a house which during the winter proved to be absolutely insufficient as a winter let. Leaky windows, uninsulated tin roof, draft coming in from the windows and from the front door, a road full of potholes and not ploughed throughout the winter leading up to the property. This resulted to our car breaking down and us getting stuck on the hill for several weeks. Mice coming in from the walls. The worst was the mould however, the bathroom is built in a room with a wo

Bill Free Homes, 85 New Elvet, Durham
Would you use this agent again? No

I would strongly advise not to use Bill free homes. During our tenancy we had multiple set backs with them. We were unaware that the property we had chosen was under renovation, during our tenancy. The boiler broke which took nearly a week before it was seen to, meaning we only had cold water. After which our internet failed to connect, we were advised to sort it out ourselves even though we had not engaged in the contract. It was finally sorted after constantly phoning with them back and forth

Review by SickOfThem on 30th June 2015
Wallakers, 69 Victoria Road, Surbiton
Would you use this agent again? No

Wallakers are the very worst firm I have ever encountered, not only in property, but in any area of trading. I'm currently a tenant, but have let properties I've owned in the past, and have much experience of agents, both for lettings and purchasing.

Ms Heald's attitude, arrogance and rudeness are typical of the way the entire staff talk to clients, though they have a particular disdain for tenants. Ms Heald thinks nothing of talking over people, or of hanging up in the middle of a phone cal
