AVOID SHERLOCK SHAMBLES! Wish we had read reviews of this company beforehand. These people are not fit to run an estate agents. They are liars, thieves and charlatans.

I was with Sherlock Holmes for just short of a year but I have to say it was some of the worst customer service I have ever received. At the beginning I had no problems and the flat I was shown in January 2019 was perfect for me so I paid all the necessary deposits/fees and moved in. However ... Read Full Review

18 Mar 2020Dear Michael. The agent does not profit nor gain from a tenants deposit. The balance goes to your landlord and it is your landlord who determines what is deducted from a tenants deposit. Equally...

My experience with Sherlock Homes is a catalogue of lies, silence and aggression for two terrible years. From the lies their agent told about the property - "yeah, that's a boiler; yeah, those are functional radiators" - to them refusing to protect my deposit - to them lying about ... Read Full Review

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE! Firstly, read all the reviews here and on other sites. Then google * Sherlock Homes' and see that the proprietor has poor reputation. Note that the only positive reviews are for the sales department. Do not deal with the lettings department at any ... Read Full Review

Complete incompetents on a level never seen before. I had a viewing arranged for 11am, received an e-mail on the morning at 9am reminding me of the appointment. Got to the property on time, waited in the car park for twenty minutes, no sign of an estate agent sign outside the property, called the ... Read Full Review

I actually picked 1star but I still feel guilty because what this organisation deserves is less than that. They are the peak of unprofessionalism and systemic fraud. I moved out of one of their properties almost 6 months ago and still no deposit. I have been told all sort of stories including ... Read Full Review

To say that their level of service to tennants is disgusting would be an understatement! I moved out 3 months ago and still, no deposit. Their staff doesn't seem to know what they're doing and I'm always being told that someone will call me back Steer clear of these ... Read Full Review

Bad (too much)
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.
