Appalling service from Kingswood. Arranged for a box of personal belongings to be delivered to them from a removals company for me to collect once the house was sold months later. They then denied all knowledge of receiving it despite the removals man going in person into the office and one of... Read Full Review

Kingswood are really helpful and I'd highly recommended them. My contact was Samantha who replied promptly to all emails and contacted me regularly to keep me updated. Always friendly and ready to help. When Samantha wasn't there I could always lean on Stephen for an update. Thank... Read Full Review

We had a great experience with Kingswood Estate Agents. We dealt with Stephen Kellett, she was very helpful, starting from making the offer, all the way up to completion. Our requirements were clearly understood, she knows the area very well. I have been given advice on mortgage (Chris) and... Read Full Review

I had the most fantastic service from Shoyab, Sam and Stephen at the Fulwood branch of Kingswood and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are professional, intelligent and caring and go the extra mile to help with what would otherwise be a most stressful period in one's life. They ... Read Full Review

The best estate agents I have used in the 10+ years I have been living in Preston. There were some small cosmetic issues when we moved in which were sorted immediately, and at a time that was suitable for us (not, as I have had with many other agents, by just letting themselves in as and when...

This is copy pasted from my facebook status so please keep this in mind with the tone it is written: Not had a rant for some time but let's dive into why Nobody in the Preston area should ever consider Kingswood letting agents when moving house/flat.

Did not protect my deposit, dragging heals fixing repairs and was told by Branch Manager that I should just go to the council and get a repairing order which they will then sort out. Currently taking legal action over their failure to protect my deposit and would encourage any previous or current... Read Full Review
Terrible. They charge a fee for referencing. The estate agent does the "email referencing" themselves and no sign of any credit checks or searches. Big con.

Kingswood is by far the most unprofessional and untrustworthy estate agents I have ever dealt with. I have signed tenancies with Kingwood on three separate occasions and during this time they have attempted to claim money under false pretences several times, have taken extortionate amounts from my...

Everything that is bad about estate agents here. Not returning calls, not being honest and truthful about their policies or the status of properties they're advertising. Out for the quick sale, no integrity with prospective tenants. After chasing the agent to get an initial call back and view the... Read Full Review

I am based in London and Glenn was superb in dealing with all parties and getting the sale 'across the line'. His perseverance and tenacity in getting to the... 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.
No procedure set.
