Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you felt this way. We can assure you that it was not the intention of the viewings lady to come across in this manner, but we are always looking to improve our service. We hope you find a suitable rental property soon.

The initial viewing and negotiating was dealt with ok as the vendors were really quite keen to sell and we were keen to buy so there wasn’t much for the agents to worry about. The problem was with the customer service received thereafter. There was barely any follow up unless I was the one chasing or giving them an update myself. It took a long time to exchange for various reasons but in the end when I did complete, the agents didn’t even think to tell me when the keys could be collected. I waited until 5pm on the day of completion for a call after having called 3/4 times already and popping in with my kids that morning that day... and it turned out that lady I was liaising with had already gone home without updating me and my keys had been ready to collect for a few hours already. I was very disappointed with this service and I didn’t even get a call to say sorry the next day which I was even more annoyed with. Overall not very happy with the service received despite them being very friendly.. I wouldn’t use them to rent my properties out going forward, that’s for sure.

Thank you for your feedback we are very sorry to note your comments surrounding your experience purchasing a property through us. Just to clarify by law we are not able to release keys until we have had confirmation from the solicitor that the sale has competed. At the time (3pm) when our colleague left the office for the day we had still not had confirmation that the property had completed. Another colleague received confirmation from the solicitor that the purchase had completed later that afternoon at which point he notified you. We appreciate delays are very frustrating and if you felt that this was not communicated to you correctly we do apologise. If you wish to discuss this further please feel free to give us a call.

I recently had an extremely disappointing phone interaction with one of the agents. The person I spoke to was rude, unfriendly, and frankly offensive in tone. They seemed irritated from the start and ended the call abruptly, almost hanging up on me mid-conversation. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable from anyone in a customer-facing role. Unfortunately, after reading other reviews, it’s clear this is not an isolated incident. There appears to be a disturbing pattern of dismissive and discriminative behaviour which points to deeper issues within the agency's culture. It’s concerning to see how many people have reported similar experiences, including instances that suggest racism and bias. Rather than addressing concerns with professionalism, the agency often responds to negative feedback with defensiveness and arrogance. I don’t expect this review will be treated any differently, but I hope it serves as a warning to others. This agency urgently needs to invest in proper training for their staff, particularly in customer service, cultural sensitivity, and professional communication. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, regardless of their background.

Dear Ahmed. Your suggestions are absurd and frankly extremely insulting. Our team is comprised of an eclectic mixture of cultures, including Asian, African, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, Caucasian, and Mixed Race. We also serve an array of customers from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions. You have no right to make such false accusations and your review is a disgrace. Leicester is a multi-cultural city which we are a proud to be a part of, and all persons that know us, and have been working alongside us for several years, will simply dismiss your accusations out of hand. What we find most concerning is that unverified persons can leave negative reviews without any grounds or evidence to back-up your statements, in an attempt to unfairly tarnish the reputation of an upstanding local business. We are convinced that you would accuse an online chatbot of being racist. For every disingenuous person like yourself, there will be 50 people standing behind you that will speak the truth and leave a positive & genuine review. Truth will ultimately prevail. On another note, we have received your application for a rental property, and a member of the team will be in touch to offer you a viewing.

Not very professional. A minimum ten days and multiple forms and referencing needed just to book a viewing. As a landlord I would never give my property to them, loosing out on potential good tenants and money in the long winded process JUST to book a viewing.

Thank you for your review. For the record, our Landlords are happy that we take the time to check an applicant's suitability & eligibility, and pre-qualify prior to booking in a viewing. It makes no sense in wasting both an applicant's time/fuel & agent's time/fuel by showing them a property, if the Landlord has not approved the application in principle, and if the applicant cannot afford the property etc. For the record, we have timed that an application form can be completed in ten minutes. If you are not willing to invest ten minutes, into looking to apply for a rental property, then we are not sure how far such minimal effort will take you in other areas in life.

Been trying to get a viewing for a property for the last 2 weeks but unable to reach anyone.

We have checked and this lady applied for a property in Oadby for rent. We had explained the application process to the lady from the start and informed her that we had received a large volume of applications on the property. Unfortunately … More

We used Newton Fallowell Oadby to sell our property. I wouldn’t work with Newton again. They were telling the buyer to get certain things fixed at my cost! Pressuring me to sort finances out asap, causing me stress and anxiety. I didn’t like the way my sales rep dealt with me, and the constant pushing. As we exchanged she didn’t even want to know me, nor did she congratulate me on my new home. Just not nice to deal with. Georgia was a pleasant person to deal with, I was hoping we could have had her dealing with our request.
