If you are a tenant, steer clear from this agent. They are from, start to finish, about milking every last penny out of tenants. Throughout my time renting a property through them, they tried to find every possible way to extort money from me. It was extremely stressful and upsetting, and they managed to ruin two Christmas periods for me with their shenanigans. If you must rent through them get all agreements and communications in writing and take comprehensive photographs of the property upon moving in and moving out. Check your rights when they attempt to charge you for things as they will try and make you liable for things that are legally the landlords responsibility. And if you are a landlord, I implore you to use a different agents if you have any care and consideration for your tenants and view renters as human beings rather than just a resource to be exploited.

We have been renting for many years, and these are by Far, the worst letting agency we've ever dealt with. Bad Comms, lack of urgency and just generally awful. So bad, that when the landlord discovered our experience, he instantly got rid of them. Avoid at all costs.

So called company owned by gypsies , liars ,cheats ,can't be trusted

Experienced horrible customer service from the team. I called several times over the course of a few days trying to book a viewing for a rental property and was constantly told that the lettings team were busy or out on appointments and would ring me back, which they never did. I travelled into London from Bath to view flats, and asked for an urgent call back in the morning before they went out for appointments to let me know if they would be able to show me the flat or not. Again, heard nothing from them. Called them in be afternoon, only to be told the office had closed and they had all gone home! I’m shocked at how they have treated a potential new tenant who has shown genuine interest in one of their properties! Won’t be contacting them again. UPDATE: 1st July - I have just received a call from the lettings manager offering to send me a gift if I taken down this review. I wonder if this tactic of bribery is how they have managed to maintain only 5 star reviews so far?

Been with them 8 months, ended up with 13 visits so far, for different reasons. Took 7months to fix lights, Todays saga, our kitchen cupboards have fallen down, theyve sent someone to remove the cupboards but arent sending anyone to replace them until next tuesday, because they have a single contracter. They hang up on you, talk down to you and act like theyre doing you a favour letting you live there, despite the fact that you're paying £600+ rent per month. They are without a shadow of a doubt the worst estate agents ive ever been with. Additionally- in one of the previous responses to reviews, they said they always provide an inventory, we never got one,so i would query this.

Total time waster, Don’t return calls, Simple questions unanswered as always someone else dealing with it, I was suppose to view a commercial property and had scheduled a viewing around 3 weeks from end of previous tenants lease but the diary missed the call back then supposedly they didn’t get back to me as the landlord had introduced them to a family friend who was going to take the unit anyway Common courtesy would of been a call to say this even though the unit was on Rightmove at the time of my chase up call. Would not deal with these if they were last agents in Darlington.

Had a commercial let agreed with Sillars. As I hesitated at paying £350 plus VAT fee for a credit check(!?), they just agreed to let it to someone else. This is not normal practice. I should know. The main point however is their failure to disclose - in an obvious manner, their fees on their website. This is actually ILLEGAL. I wish I could find out if the landlord knows about this profit generating practice at his expense. Oh and surprise surprise - these guys are not members of the estate agents' association.We need a regulator!
