“Don’t do as I did, do as I tell you”. Their Terms and Conditions (T & C) document is for Sole Selling Rights, so BE WARNED. From bitter experience, here is my advice to Prospect-ive vendors: (1) Insist on not signing the contract document (called T & C) until you have ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

The single-agency rate is 2% +VAT and multiagency rate is 3% +VAT, so if you must use Prospect, SELLER BEWARE!


Comments on Agent Fees

Too high for the quality of service and too high for the degree of respect afforded to me.

Quite a lot higher than other agents, would expect maybe £350 for referencing and administration. Romans are the only other agent with fees this high.

We were tenants in a rented flat for just under a year and at no point did we feel like we were in a flat worth the money we were paying. After the inventory was first done there was a rip in a main carpet, light bulbs missing and faulty toilet seats. Nothing was fixed but the toilet seats up to... Read Full Review

I feel that the fees to have a tenant continue with the same tenancy agreement for a second/third year are too high.

I have dealt with Prospect before, and once again found them to be excellent.

They organised a number of viewings, and found a tenant (for the asking... Read Full Review

On the high side, but as their valuation was higher than several other local agents, and they have achieved this, the nett figure we receive will be better.

Prospects have let us down at every turn.

With the property we did end up renting we were given no updates or information... Read Full Review
