Heidi can we ask why you gave us a 1 star review as we can find no record of you on our systems?

I came off the phone call shaking, A lady Teresa! Or something similar was rude and abrupt from start! I explained I was in remission from a bad disease but always worked full time and will when I'm finished recovery. A raised voice shouted over mine while I was explaining my current landlord and estate agents are helping me find a new home and putting the deposit down for me as I've put new carpets in the house, trying to explain how good of tenant I have been! I heard a loud voice dictate on a rude manner what is needed to rent a house, obviously knowing what is needed as I explained what I've just put above! This literally put me off instantly on wanting to even use this company now. I explained to the lady she made me feel and I ended the phone call! Shaking and crying because let's face it house searching is hard for a start. I'm utterly disappointed I've even had to write this, but surely the managers aren't allowing their staff to be like this. If this is how this lady treats people who have just fought to live on calls I don't feel customers will be rushing as alot of people have illnesses since the forced covid vaccines! Regards

We are sorry you so upset Kate and this was obviously not our intention. Teresa is one of our most helpful and experienced staff members so we are very surprised however we will look into this and come back to you shortly. We have looked into this now and again we are sorry you felt you need to leave such a poor review and sympathise with your condition and situation. However a manager was sat in the same office whilst this conversation was taking place and we have to disagree completely that raised voices were used and you were spoken to in what you felt was such a poor manner. Teresa simply explained how our procedure worked but unfortunately you didn’t want to accept this. We do however wish you luck finding in finding a new home.

Enter at your own risk... These guys have done nothing but rip us off since we used them to rent our property, they have done next to nothing other than take our money at every opportunity. Trust me USE SOMEONE DIFFERENT.....

Not very helpful at all unfortunately. I'm homeless, sofa surfing after fleeing domestic abuse and sadly I couldn't make a viewing for a property due to work commitments, I only got offered the viewing yesterday. Apparently it's their …

Lauren we are most distressed to receive this review but we can’t accept applications if you haven’t viewed the house. The demand is very high at the moment and if house in question is popular others will undoubtedly get the property. We are sorry for your situation and will try and help you if you see something else.

Worst Estate Agents Around. They need to learn how to communicate with their clients. You never informed me with anything, so stop your lies. Gillian Spence Marla your Senior Letting Manager needs Customer Service Skills as she doesnt know how to talk to a customer. I requested a contractor to be sent out to the property Asap which you failed to do aswell as there were no follow-ups and nither any confirmation through emails that someone is gona visit the site instead so i assumed you didnt find anyone instead you bill me for something that i didn't require again and nither justified.You wasn't thinking i was gona wait forever for you imaginary contractor to turn up were you. And Thanks for nothing.

Usman were obviously really disappointed to receive this review. We have investigated this and we are sorry but we totally disagree with your comments as we clearly arranged with you for contractors to visit the house and you refused them entry which is where the problem arose. Contractors will unfortunately always charge for a failed visit which we cannot change.

Poor communication and not very helpful. Lied multiple times. Wouldn't recommend.

Thank-you for your review, however could we have some clarity on this, as you were out-bid. Unfortunately these things happen as we have a duty to our client to get them the highest price for their property.

I felt like I was blessed the day I encountered Ainsworth Lord Estates. I had been painstakingly searching for a place to live for six months and I was …

Very poor practice from this letting agency. Notified them of my intention to early terminate by emailing the owner, and a few hours later by forwarding the email on to the lettings manager. Both emails were ignored. Followed up the emails two days later by phone, to be told that I have to serve notice directly to the landlord and not them, meaning that I've added an extra couple of days on to my tenancy. My landlords address on my contract? Care of Ainsworth Lord Estates, 49 Market Street, Darwen.
