Thank you for your review Peter

Very nice and helpful when we were buying our first home. I would use them again, as other realtors in Harpenden were not as helpful.

Hi Laura, thank you for leaving us a positive review and congratulations on purchasing your first home

I worked with Neil Facer in the Harpenden office to sell a 2-bed apartment during 2006-2007. It took about a year from start to finish - not because of Neil but the post-Brexit lull and the glut of apartments on the market. We had several viewings but didn't always get feedback on each one, which would have been helpful. Neil did have a couple of tough and candid conversations with me concerning the real property picture and realistic property valuations. Tough to hear, but acting on the advice and reducing the price did lead to a sale. If you want an estate agent to show you the facts and tell you the truth, then Neil is your man. He didn't give up.

Hi Roy. Sorry to read this. If you can let me have an order number either here or via sales@midwestdisplays.co.uk I will investigate further.

Customer service of some staff was very good however the focus is so much on landlord not the tenant

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback Victor. Regarding your application, we want to clarify that the landlord ultimately made the decision not to proceed, which was beyond our control, however, we sincerely apologise for any … More

We’re really sorry for any inconvenience caused by our board contractors. I understand they rectified the issue quickly afterwards and they pass on their apologies. Best wishes from the team at Ashtons

They felt different to start, but by the end I felt they were taking us over the coals for more money without any evidence of changes to the other offers. Have since heard some very rough reviews about them from other buyers.

Would not use their renting/letting service if you paid me. Kirsty is absolutely dreadful, rude, abrasive and arrogant. She made mistakes with how the property was advertised from an offer perspective and then doubled down rather than admit that she’d made a mistake. She interrupted me every time I tried to explain her mistake. I ended up hanging up on her because she's so infuriating. Just admit you messed up???? Two days before the start date, they try and hit you with last minute ridiculous fees for things such as taking an inventory and getting the property in a professionally clean state. Awful, awful, awful. Avoid at all costs. To be absolutely fair, their sales department is fantastic. It is professionally run and they are very polite and courteous. Such a shame the lettings team is dog awful.

While Ashtons are always open to constructive feedback regarding our service, we strongly refute the characterisation of our colleague and will not tolerate unwarranted insults or aggression towards our team members. Both our Managing Director and Lettings Director have reviewed your concerns in detail, alongside email communication from your partner, who is the client in this matter. We are satisfied that our team acted professionally and in line with both company standards and legal requirements. In relation to the points raised, we will not support any landlord acting outside of the law or the requirements of the Renters' Rights Act. We actively advise on best practice, including the importance of professional inventories and ensuring properties are presented in a clean and well-maintained condition prior to the commencement of a tenancy. In this case, the property was not presented in a suitable condition at the point of move-in. As such, the recommendations made were not last-minute additions, but necessary steps required to ensure compliance and to provide a fair and appropriate standard of cleanliness for incoming tenants. We are confident that at all times we have communicated openly, fairly and in good faith while acting in accordance with both our professional obligations and legal responsibilities.
