Williams & Goodwin The Property People Ltd - Lettings & Property Management

Poor service and poor customer relations

When I first used Wms & Goodwin 2 years ago for my first and only role as a landlord, I was very happy with all aspects of the service so I naturally returned to your company when my tenants left after 2 years. I called at the Caernarfon office to instruct your company to advertise for me.. I filled in the Agency Agreement, When asked if I wanted the Managed service or the Find Tenant Only I said I wanted the latter as previously as we live nearby the property.There was no conversation about section 2 within that agreement (Phil at Caernarfon had filled in the original form for me) and I confess I did not refer to that form, I just wanted the same service as before, asked for the company to arrange for a chimney sweep and an electrician so I could obtain the appropriate certificates, told them that the house would be ready for viewing by 12.8.16 and that the original photos taken by Phil 2 years ago could be used again as the house was immaculate and looked the same. Within days of availability we had two viewings, one of which became the current tenant. from 17.8.16. Since then I have contacted both your Caernarfon office and your Lettings office to request the certificates, always being told they would be "chased up". Last Friday I phoned Kelly yet again and mentioned that I had not received the Contract either. She told me I had not requested one and I would have to pay ( I think she said £120 ) for one. I was taken aback by this and a short while after I phoned back to explain I hadn't realised that I hadn't filled in the form correctly. I then suggested that, as I'd repeatedly had to ask for the certificates and that Wms & Goodwin had had very little work to do on my behalf (ie there was no need for photos ) that it might be a nice gesture if the Company provided me with the Agreement Form at a favourable rate. Kelly said she would speak to her manager and phone me back. ( she didn't). In the evening I received an e mail from her saying the manager had been unavailable and she would phone me on Monday. I heard nothing and on Tuesday I phoned again. It seems the manager would not entertain my suggestion and Kelly repeated that I could obtain a similar form from the internet. The missing certificates still had not materialised and she would carry on chasing them. I told her I was not happy with the service I'd received from the Company. I am particularly disappointed with the manager's attitude as I do not consider it to be good customer relations and I am left with no reason to ever use the Company again. The certificates still have not arrived. Brenda Patterson.
