Enter at your own risk... These guys have done nothing but rip us off since we used them to rent our property, they have done next to nothing other than take our money at every opportunity. Trust me USE SOMEONE DIFFERENT.....

Paul, the director of Aisworth Lord Estate, highly recommended a surveyor he used regularly & trusted, for a property we'd offered the full asking price on. When the surveyor's report came through claiming it was not a mortgageable proposition, he instantly changed his mind about him. Paul said we should overlook the opinion & the identified repair work over 75k. Paul advised that we should now fork out for another surveyor for a 2nd opinion. His advice is comical. It gets better!! He took a deposit of 5k from us, explaining at the time that it was just a goodwill gesture to show we were serious buyers. After the report came through, we told Paul on 29th Sept, that we can not proceed, we asked him to return the deposit. Paul was now not forthcoming with communication, so my wife gave him a 1star rating. The communication instantly improved, she received an email threatening her with legal action for rating him. The prison attire is definitely not for her. 😆 Paul claimed on 5th Oct, that he's been in talks with the vendor to prevent us from losing our deposit. My wife has trust issues when it comes to him & insisted we visit the vendor. It pains me to say it, she was right! On 8th Oct, the vendor confirmed her suspicion. We decided to confront Paul in person today. When asked why he still has our money, he said he would be transferring to the vendor this week. 🤔 Paul said he was hoping to negotiate, he could offer us deal so we wouldn't lose our deposit. We asked him what he proposed. He's response "why don't you buy half the premises it would cost less". I can't stomach this man. My wife entertained him & asked for the price. Paul said 75k. Now for simple maths Surveyor valuation = 100k full premises Half premises =50k Paul's DEAL for half premises =75k I wonder if Paul failed maths Now for simple maths: Surveyor = 100k for full premises Half premises = 50k Paul's DEAL for half premises = 75K I wonder if Paul failed maths

Poor service

Wouldn't bother if you're renting! Never fix anything, never reply to emails, never answer the phone. Shoddy work force. Once you're in there's no help! Verity the manager is the worst, about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Would avoid as you end up in a rust bucket house and nothing gets sorted! Shocking

Enquired about a rental property and stated at the outset I needed to check with the landlord if they would accept our pets before proceeding any further. Agent told me they will get back to me. They did not. Booked a viewing the next day and asked the person with whom this was done to double check. Never got back to me. On the day of the viewing, phoned up to check, was told our animals would be fine with the landlord. Made a journey of more than 2 hours in total to view the property in the evening. Phoned the agent the very first thing in the morning only to be told they have to check with the landlord if the pets will be accepted. Called to chase a couple of hours later to be told by the same agent an application was put through by someone else the day before, meaning the property is off the market. Shambles. Incompetent amateurs getting away with anything because they operate in saturated market.

Where do I start....and this is about the Blackburn office and inparticular the lettings team. My daughter rented a property that without being particular and detailed was …
