During worrying times my girlfriend has been promised a phone call over 3 days ago relating to the purchase of our new house and we are still waiting , when I ring there is no answer during opening hours. Beginning to think we should have gone with different agent. Shame because until last week staff had been very helpful, now don’t want to know.

Used these during the beginning of the Covid pandemic. To start off they were very professional until we accepted a sale, then it went downhill. Considering we were the sellers and paying a fee we would have expected better. As soon as the offer was accepted they stopped caring about us and seemed to prefer the purchaser. One young lady in particular was not a very nice person and we ended the transaction not on the best of terms. Cant say that I would use them again unfortunately which is sad considering up until the sale we had been very impressed with them.NegativeProfessionalism

Arranged a viewing for a rental property for mid Jan. I didn't think I could make the booking so emailed in to cancel, I got no response. I then emailed in again to advise I could make it & again, no response. I drove there & luckily they were there waiting for us. I advised I wanted the property & he said I would get a call back on the Monday to put deposit down. I didn't receive a call & had to chase. I then received a link to the Goodlord app where I had to put in all my referencing details. Upon viewing the property I didn't realise I was in a 12 month lease until May 2019 & was only made aware when I asked for a reference. However it was a cheap property that I could afford on my own (£450PCM), my partner could afford the rent of the house we were applying for alone so I didn't think it was a problem and went ahead with the application. All my references had been checked and passed to the agency, a week went by and I heard nothing. I rang the office & was told the lady who answered wasn't in lettings & can't advise when they'll be back however I'll get a callback - never happened. I called again 3 days later & was told rudely, "you can't afford two rents so you've failed the application & there's nothing we can do." I wasn't happy to hear that, especially because me and my partner rent a business property & mentioned that several times - however an extra residential property was the end of the world. I advised the man on the phone that I have the money to pay myself out of my lease (total of roughly £1500), however I am not going to unless my application is put through because if do and then my application gets declined I am going to be homeless. I also had a guarantor but nothing I said was being heard. He said he would see what he could do & would call me back that afternoon, then hung up on me. I didn't receive a callback, so called the office again & a woman answered who informed me that she would get them to call me in the morning. I was working away that morning so asked for an email instead, which she agreed to & never happened. I left it another few days and then got sent an email requesting a guarantor. I sent the details over to Goodlord and then waited. My father-in-law was the guarantor for the property, and on the 25th January he filled in the paperwork infront of me. (I have a screenshot of his signature on the agreement, and a confirmation email from the same date). He submitted everything & we waited. Again no call, no email, nothing. I rang to chase & the office advised he hadn't done it, I contacted Goodlord who said he had done it & then said he hadn't. They resent it & I watched him fill the form out again. Then got a request through for his payslips to be provided as proof of income. I scanned his payslips & uploaded them for him, however when I called to chase I was told they hadn't been received. My father-in-law then called & was told that the payslips had been uploaded but had gone somewhere else & could he upload them again. He wasn't happy with his information being "lost" so he asked to email them to somebody directly, which finally happened & the guarantor form went through. I heard nothing for over a week, I rang the office on the 4th to see what happened & was told everything had gone through & we can organise to the get the keys. Called on the 5th and got it on the 6th Feb @ 12pm. £170 EACH for admin fees and £120 for grntr! Webbs did nothing & I am not happy I had to pay them £500 for me to call them constantly. I filled it out, paid & asked to pickup the keys on Thurs, was told landlord is busy and can't meet me until Saturday night. I was away on Saturday and informed Webbs I can only make it at 9am. Said that was fine. Get there and noones there, I ring Webbs & was told I agreed to Sat night - not true. Then rang landlord & he arrived promptly & gave us the only set of keys he had - because the others were at Webbs! We had to go & get them from Webbs - as the letting agents they were meant to meet us! Poor service & not worth the extra fees.

Horrific customer service for lettings and they take days to get back to you, constantly have to chase for an answer. If I could give zero stars I would, avoid for lettings/renting.

Went to see them two weeks ago. They promised I will be informed about rentable properties before would go out on the internet. Wasn’t true. When I called them about the viewing a bored girl told me I will be informed if there will be any chance to see the property. ( I must admit I have time only on the weekends) Never mind… Yesterday I got an email from one of them staff about give my details-again, even I was there in the office couple of weeks ago- so they happy to help me. I gave all the details again that lady yesterday and she replied to me as her holiday is coming up now so will be no help until the end of the month. Thanks! Would be better to kick me out straight from the office two weeks ago.

I asked to view a property over a week ago The gentleman had been in hospital as was recovering,that’s what I was told That they would ring me back on Monday this never happened I had found another property in the meantime so I thought it would be the right thing to let webs know I was told that before he went into hospital that he had excepted an offer Which webs could’ve told me but choose not too I find them very very rude underhanded and devious As they could’ve told me this over a week ago to my surprise the house isn’t even showing under offer or sold I wouldn’t trust this estate agent or recommend it to anyone Rude ignorant staff Very unprofessional BEWARE 3 rd rate cowboys

People at the cannock branch like to talk down to you and treat you like an idiot. I'm a first time buyer and I wish I wasn't dealing with them gutted as they came so recommended.

Sent them two emails, never got a reply to either! Waste of time!
