We were in the process of looking to find a place to rent in Bracknell and the surrounding areas. Searching on rightmove we found a number of places we wanted to arrange viewings for, 3 of which were with Prospect Estate Agents. I sent email enquiries on all three of the properties and didn't receive a reply for any of them. Over the next 7 days I called the number on the system which never answered and so finally giving in ventured to Bracknell town centre and visited the branch on a Saturday morning. When we entered their were two young lads on their phones laughing and playing drum and bass music through the speakers. We were told to sit down and there i asked about the 3 properties, was here told that all 3 of them were actually now off the market, but there was no indication of this or even saying let agreed on the site. I asked about the phone and email and was told that there were problems with head office and putting messages through. Skimming over this we were offered two properties that weren't on the market yet but will be soon so if we did want to would be advisable to arrange a booking asap. We did arrange one for the Tuesday, we had 3 other bookings on that day so said we could do 17:30, the previous property was just round the corner so the estate agent said he'd meet us there for 17:15. We arrived around 5 minutes late and there was nobody there, waited until 17:30 before calling and no answer. Eventually got a text saying that he'd waited a very specific 8 minutes and decided we were not going to show. My girlfriend pointed out his failings as to we would have seen you come out of the cal-de-sac and are you not going to come back as was told he lived 2 minutes away and never got an answer. Overall gut after dealing with most of the estate agents, Prosepcts have been with out a doubt the worst, obviously my view is tainted on this one experience and am sure there are people who are happy with them. However, leaving properties on places that are no longer on the market, not responding to emails/calls and then rudeness about a viewing we felt kind of forced to do has left a sour note.
