Do not rent from this company. Awful experience, hard to get hold of and don't fix any issues in reasonable time. Rented for 3 years and they tried to get £500 of our deposit after leaving the place professionally cleaned with receipts. Disputed through TDC and got most of it back - don't put up with these people.

This is the second google review I have left in my life. I was totally shocked by the treatment I received today by this estate agent. To find the property for the viewing appointment, I first typed the address given on the estate agent's website (Benbrook Court, Plymouth Road, Totnes) into google maps, but it gave no results. Ok, shouldn't be a problem I thought, I'll just use the map they provide on their page. So I got to the exact location they gave, but there was no house by that name. I walked up and down, but no luck. So I phoned the agent, still a couple of minutes early. They were nice enough, and suggested I use street view. I did, from their page, and that showed the house on the opposite side of the street that I was on, but in exactly the place I was at least. However this was not the right address either! Finally they were able to get the agent on site to phone me after I request that he do so or just come out onto the street. He was fairly rude, told me to google something that I could not hear him say, so I asked him to message me it instead. He hung up abruptly. I waited for a minute but with no text, I called him back. He told me he had messaged me and when I said I received no text, he asked me if I had any phone reception - a rather odd question to ask someone with whom you are on the phone! In the end I just walked to the end of the road, still on the phone, and actually found him, 130 yards away from the given location on the website, and up a little side road. (The actual property was even further away). He was extremely unwelcoming and said something about being in a hurry. So I politely said that I was in the right place according to their website, early, did my best, and that I hope he understands it was not my fault I was late. He responded to this with anger, saying I should have prepared beforehand. WOW!!! I was so shocked! I asked him, "Are you really blaming me for being late, when I was early, at the exact place your website gave on the map and street view..." Then he insisted yes it was my fault, I should have googled it. Well, I HAD put it into google maps, there were no results! But he didn't even believe that (not that that should even be relevant since his website gave the wrong map location!), and said angrily something like "Do you want us to let this property to you or not?" (Which seems to me like saying 'Let me abuse you otherwise I won't even show you the property'). I have never received such appalling customer service. It is so very easy to just say "I am so sorry that we provided the wrong location" or something like that. Or even if you really don't want to admit any fault, just "Nice to meet you, glad you finally found me" or whatever. Well, it turns out that this man was actually the boss, Daniel. He handed me off to Mike, who actually showed me around. Mike was fantastic - warm and professional. The polar opposite of Daniel. It saddens me to even write this review but, I guess that's what reviews are for - sharing experiences of a company's service. And since it's his own company, I doubt my report to the company office will go anywhere. I never could have imagined such bad service as this. Update: I have just now seen the reply given below by this company, which includes: "During your recent viewing, our staff member ended the appointment due to inappropriate language." That is an outright lie. The staff member, Mike, was great. I was shown the whole property (which was unsuitable for me - in particular there was no cooker/oven, which he said was 'normal'!). The boss, Daniel, was still hanging around outside by the end of my viewing. So this nonsense about my appointment being ended is a total fiction. Quite sad that the boss would treat a customer so badly and then lie about it to try to look like he wasn't in the wrong, on the internet, though I guess that fits his pattern of behaviour in blaming me for being late after I was in fact early but his own listing gave the wrong location.
Run from this letting agency as far as you can. I have been letting shared accommodation for over decade but this letting agency is the worst and discriminatory with no interest in tenants. Their solution for sorting out problems is to get rid of tenants. They do not care at all.
I requested a viewing this morning and I was told that I am not the right candidate for this property. There was a rude guy, I think his name is David Walker having bad manners and not experience at all in sales. I asked his name and he refused to give me that information. It is very dissapointing that a small estate agent like EWEmove has this huge pretensions and poor customer service.
Rude, unprofessional, useless. The list could go on
A COMPLETE DISASTER IN EVERY WAY I am writing to share my experience with this estate agency, Intercounty Bishops Stortford, and it has been nothing short of disastrous. From the very beginning, the agency proved to be extremely disorganized. The staff showed no communication among themselves, leaving us constantly bombarded with irrelevant emails that had nothing to do with our tenancy. On top of that, their attitude was consistently condescending. Whenever we requested information, the responses we received carried an air of superiority. I genuinely felt that, because we are Spanish, we were treated with less respect than British clients. This behavior was not only unprofessional but also deeply offensive. The worst part came at the end of the tenancy. We left the flat in immaculate condition—spotless, tidy, and perfectly maintained. Despite this, the agency withheld a significant portion of our deposit. They claimed £446 for cleaning and an additional £110 for carpet cleaning, charges that were completely manufactured since the property was already in pristine condition. When we challenged this, their only response was to suggest we open a dispute with Mydeposit, knowing full well that this would only drag the process out and cause further frustration. To conclude, I strongly advise: DO NOT RENT FROM THIS AGENCY if you value your deposit, your time, and being treated with basic respect. Their arrogance, lack of professionalism, and dishonest practices make them an agency to avoid at all costs.

Communication very poor and at a snails pace at best. 24 hours for support to deal with a basic enquiry. Holding me to an exit fee for 18 months which will be challegend by our solicitors. Website is not performing correctly and Homeflow just inerested in hiding behind small print and charging monthly fees. Customer service i wish it could be zero instaed of a 1star.
Avoid. Highly unprofessional, unreliable, and a total scam. Sarah Fitton is exactly as others have reviewed her, dishonest and a scam. She takes your money for her property management services, and she doesn’t deliver at all, on the …
