We are buyers and have had horrible experiences with this agency from the start. We found a property online we wanted to view, rang Tucker Gardner up, and they took 3 entire weeks, over 20 phone calls of chasing, and several emails to finally just book a viewing of the house for us. They kept... Read Full Review

The worst agency I ever had during my last 3 years in the UK. Guys, I wish you would be smart to check agency reviews on the internet before you start your tenancy. So here is my advice: RUN AND NEVER COME BACK TO THEM. Scroll down. I don't want to repeat all the same complaints listed down... Read Full Review

Agents are unhelpful and seem to be biased to foreign applicants. They give false information and then take the fees. We are now stuck and is most likely to be homeless in less than 2 weeks because we already gave our notice as per advise by our so called negotiating agent. They keep failing our... Read Full Review

Last one month we are requesting for the garden cleaning for our house as it was not tidy up whe you handover the property to us and you agreed it will be done in 2 or 3 days from the handover.

Our property manager regularly changed with no communication, they lost our contract and asked to make a copy of ours and lost track of our standing order payments. All for extortionate...

We were assigned office manager as sales negotiator when trying to sell a house that listed as second most expensive on their list. Their lack of engagement with the process was... Read Full Review
Competitive at 1%, but not the cheapest. Yet, given your experience I'd rate them as massively overpriced.

I have rented for over 10 years and this is the worst experience yet. By a long way. The poor communication to us as a tenant and internally between the rental management team and sales team is staggering. With no notice and after just a few weeks of living in the property we came home on a Friday... Read Full Review
Bad in the context of the poor communication and also short tenancy period.

Have viewed several properties with Tuckers. They all had the same common features: poor EPC rating, knackered 20-year old boilers, cheap nasty laminate flooring so they don't have to replace carpets, and an apparently universal policy of making you liable to maintain the garden (fine) without...

Change the business model, stop being one of the group of agents responsible for the disgraceful state of property in Cambridge (which now looks like mid-1970s Soviet Poland), stop dealing in lazy absent landlords who don\'t care and remember that come the glorious day when one of us scum reach the dizzy heights of buying a property, guess where we\'re not going to come.

The viewing was good. We then applied, were told ours was the only application, and were charged the admin fee. The next day we were told that someone else had applied and that the landlord had chosen them instead. It's fair enough that it should be the landlord's choice, but we were told ours...

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.
