I noticed that most reviews on Google are from buyers/sellers, so I wanted to make our experience as tenants known publicly. Fundamentally, our experience whilst living in the property was okay, although the property was very poorly presented when we moved in (dirt and grime everywhere and... Read Full Review

Appalling! Do not use! Appalling! Constant chasing to get an straight answer, really bad experience with the management of my property! E-mail warriors, never pick up the phone and ring. Some of the responses from some of the staff were condescending and implied racism. I knew more about my... Read Full Review

Phoned to view a property. Denied the opportunity as I didn’t have my house on the market (I would have liked them to have valued it and potentially put it on but this want even discussed). The staff member was arrogant and condescending and treated me as a time waster. I would not use... Read Full Review

Bowes Mitchell organised an impressive amount of viewings from the outset - all of which by parties who were genuinely able to consider our property (i.e. not wasting anyone's time). The property photographs were extremely good. Unsurprisingly we had an offer very quickly. We even had a reserve... Read Full Review

We attempted to put our house on the market and contacted this agent on two separate occasions. The first time the valuer failed to turn up. When I contacted them again I asked if the valuer would turn up this time. The second time the valuer turned up 45 mins late. As our baby was in bed it... Read Full Review

Where to begin?! Staff at Bowes Mitchell are not only completely incompetent, but quite happy to lie and be very sneaky in order to cover their own backs. Soon after moving into the property numerous maintenance problems became apparent including substantial damp (mould and spores growing... Read Full Review
They should have fixed problems in the flat in the first place and done something to rectify the situation with the bath, eg a gesture of good will of even a small amount of money (£50 would have done it!). This would have been good customer service because we were effectively being sold something which wasn\'t true. They also sould have used the proper procedures, and given us better advice. When they had done something wrong they should have admitted this to the landlord instead of lying and letting us lose all our deposit because they want to continue to have a good relationship with the landlord. We, on the other hand, were just tenants, dispensable and moving on anyway. It is highly likely that the letting agency and landlord were working together throughout the dispute process to ensure their stories aligned and apportioned all blame to us. I thought deposit protection schemes were supposed to protect tenants against landlords / lettings agents who think that they can just make anything up / lie and get away with it, because they always have the upper hand, they’re the ones who draw up the contracts, make the rules etc. Tenants are completely at their mercy. We abided by the rules and did everything they asked us to, but they end up with extra money at the end of the day.

Useless. Been a tenant for 2 years and recently could not be bothered. reported a leak. 1st plumber (arranged by bowes) said we would need a new bath at £500 (which I might add is less than I pay for rent). I had a closer look and there is nothing wrong with the bath. was just the seal at the top... Read Full Review

We rang Bowes Mitchell, advising them that we would be unable to make a viewing, and arranged another time. They advised us that they would pass the message on. When we turned up for the rescheduled viewing, we talked to the vendor. They told us that they had no knowledge that we called to... Read Full Review
The agent could have acted with honesty and integrity. It was their choice to act dishonestly, in order to cover up their lax attitude. It\'s simply not good enough.
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.
