Hi Dan, we have searched our database and cannot find any record of you. We obviously deal with thousands of people so it would be great to have some comments to accompany a negative review so we can investigate. Please do get in touch with our office so we can take this further. Many thanks.

We believe this review relates to the same case as Jordan Kennelly below. This is a very inappropriate way to conduct your business and we are very disappointed with the way you have conducted yourself in this matter. We have had repeated communication with you over the last few months and you have been repeatedly asked to provide the invoices you believe are outstanding. This was initially 3 and now turns out to be only two. As explained to you repeatedly as you have set your company name up in an almost identical name to another of our suppliers we believe the invoices to have been paid and had you provided us with copy invoices your bills (if outstanding after investigation) would have been settled very quickly. Your emails have not been blocked so most of your review is not factual. As you are not reviewing our actual service as you are not a client of ours and in fact it is the other way round may we suggest your remove this review and arrange a in person discussion with our Directors who will happily discuss this with you.

Please could we have your name so that we may look into this review. We have no record of who you are or what has caused this review and it is quite slanderous and as you will see from our many other 5 star reviews very unlikely. We take complaints very seriously and would love to learn what has led to this review and try and resolve it for you. Thanks

I really did not want to write a negative review about a fellow Chelmsford company, especially in the current climate we are in. However, having given Charles David Casson the benefit of the doubt for 9 months, i have again today been fobbed off with a response, 'we will get back to you'. I completed work for Charles David Casson last year, and I'm yet to be paid for it. As a company, we have emailed frequently, spoken to Daniella personally and via email. My email address has now been blocked from both the general email address and the personal one from Daniella. We were advised that they paid a company with a very similar company name, but I still don't understand how this treatment to us can be justified in any way shape or form. We shouldn't have to pay the price for an internal fault. I would urge people to steer clear from this company that refuses to pay outstanding invoices to other companies that have completed work, as i believe this to be a reflection on the people that run this company.NegativeProfessionalism

A few month ago myself and a friend were looking to rent a property. I contacted Charles David via Facebook and email to just be totally ignored. My friend contacted them also as we found property’s under their name that we wanted to view. We tried with this company about 4 times via phone, email or Facebook and every time we were fobbed off with an excuse, we never ended up viewing properties from them as was told they would be in touch and we never heard. I would like to say this is probably down to the pandemic but we also tried with them a couple of years before hand and was literally given the same treatment. They are very good at making you feel your taking up their valuable time and that you are inconvenient. They obviously don’t have the time for renters so don’t know what they would be like if you were buying a property. Really disappointed both times and would now not even consider contacting them if we were looking again, we would be wasting our time.

Hi Daniel, thank you for your review. Unfortunately you have not left any comments and a search of our database has proved negative so I cannot see we have done any business with you. If you would like to contact our director Neil Baldock he will gladly hear your complaint and look into matters for you.

If i could leave no stars i would, been renting a property from here for a month now, after viewing we was told that the property would be redecorated and professionally cleaned, which it was not! Also one of our bedroom windows is broken and causing the whole property to be freezing cold, forcing us to sleep in the front room to keep heat in. To this day its still not fixed! Then our goto person at this shambles of an agencie asks for a good review.. What an absolute joke!

Dear Jake, Thank you for your comments. Just to clarify the property you are talking about you do not have a tenancy at, rather it is your girlfriends property. The window issue you are discussing is down to the block management company which is often the case in blocks of flats. We do understand how frustrating this is for your girlfriend and we do have emails from her confirming she is happy with the way our team are dealing with this issue so we were surprised to see this review from someone who doesn't have any tenancy with us. The matter is in hand and our team will continue to apply pressure to the block management company to have this issue resolved. We will continue to update your girlfriend directly as she is the only person with a tenancy at the property.

Terrible experience so much so I am now in contact with ombudsman. Landlords be weary.

Dear Cormac, Further to our extensive communications and my advice to refer this to the ombudsman I am truly sorry to hear you feel this way. As I have previously stated this is a tenant that Charles David Casson did not place and was in the property when we took it over after the letting agent you chose went out of business. We identified that they were not an appropriate tenant during our property inspections and then took the necessary action to remove them from the property and managed to negotiate that your deposit was returned in full. We also then found a new appropriate tenant for you which you declined. We are here to help and I believe we have done the best we can for you under the circumstances. I am sorry you feel this way and I do think the best thing is to refer the matter to the ombudsman so they can review our evidence. We will be more than happy to continue to assist you with anything we can and I wish you all the best for the future.
