I would personally stay well clear of this estate agent. From start to finish, very poor. I found a property that I liked, I enquired, nobody would ever pick up the phone. I got told someone would call me back as I went to a different department. Didn’t happen. Took about 5 attempts to get through to someone, I managed to get a viewing on the Saturday. Everything was fine for Time keeping. Didn’t really get shown around much but that is fine as I got entrance. Adam was who I dealt with. Monday, I called in and said I was interested and would like to go for it. I asked about if it can be paid through my business as not sure what my credit is like (never had a loan or credit card) he said this is absolutely fine, plenty do this. He then said I need to send a deposit. I asked do we not do referencing first, he replied and said I needed to pay. A deposit to remove it online as standard. 15 mins later I paid and emailed, followed up with a call. This was not removed from online, I called up later; again nobody available: then called again, I got told Adam was in later / that is fine. He then called me and said “it was red flags” with through a business and someone else has come in and put it in and the landlord has accepted. At no point was I told preference was personal, I even asked. Nothing wrong with my credit or income. Infact I earn £40k over more than what they said I required. Poor service from start to finish. Got an apology email, however that is due to me saying I will post a reciew, so I think this prompted them. Looking at other reviews that are negative, it seems they disagree with everyone. Well if anyone wants proof, I have the email trails. If you want to buy or sell a property. I wouldn’t bother: you’re lucky if anyone picks up the phone; let alone taking a deposit and giving to someone else 24 hours later and I only find out due to chasing. All I can thank you for is picking up the phone twice after about 10 attempts; wasting my time and taking my deposit, not doing as you promised and refunding timely. If anyone puts a deposit down; it doesn’t mean anything.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way and appreciate the opportunity to respond. We would like to clarify that during our discussions regarding the holding deposit, there were multiple indications that you were uncertain about passing referencing—particularly your concerns regarding credit history and your request to proceed via your business. While we do our best to support applicants in all circumstances, we must also ensure we’re acting in the best interests of the landlord and within the framework of our referencing process. One of the key red flags was the request to go through referencing without first paying the standard holding deposit, which goes against our usual procedures. Additionally, we had concerns about proceeding without being fully confident that referencing would be successful, especially after discussing the matter further with the landlord. Following that conversation, we made the decision not to proceed and promptly refunded your holding deposit in full. We also want to address the reference to our sales department in your review, as we believe there has been no interaction with that team during your enquiry. If there is a separate concern related to sales, we would be happy to look into it. We’re sorry that your experience did not meet expectations, and we genuinely regret any frustration caused. Your feedback has been noted and will help us in continuing to improve our service.
