The agent Jill Moore is not the person in business.But the estate agent have took over the business and name. Not the same hard working as Jill Moore,but we believe she is retired now and it's taken over by another estate agent.

Me and my family Rented a proper for 8 years and looked after it well, when we reported issues with the house they either sent cowboy builders or just ignored it. When a opportunity came up to by a house and we wanted to end our contract if I hadn't of taken legal advice we would of fallen for the trap of having to pay bills and not getting our deposit back. I wouldn't reccomend them. Tbh go private at least you get a cheaper rent and same service than using an estate agents to treat you like scum on bottom or your shoe. They also don't answer out of hours but thanks Martin and Co for the push in our life we needed 🤔

Thanks for your feedback Craig. I've reviewed the history of your tenancy & I am satisfied that Martin & Co have always acted with the highest level of integrity in terms of ensuring that any reported maintenance issues have been dealt with promptly & professionally. With regard to our out of hours service, the only record I have is you reporting a boiler issue at 8pm on a Monday night in February 24 & this was dealt with immediately, with you commenting "brill thank you" on the texts we exchanged? We have an outstanding reputationally locally with tenants, landlords, buyers & sellers of properties, as can be evidenced by over 300 five star Google reviews over the last few years. We wish you all the best in your new home. Gary and the Martin & Co team.

My partner and I are both first time buyer trying to follow the legal process to purchase a 2 bed property in Redditch through Oulsnam Redditch branch. The viewing day was spot on, the lady who showed us around was on time and answered all the questions we had. My partner and I loved the property by the end of the tour, from this point things started to become bleak and still are to the present day several months into the process. After a delay in getting the mortgage approved our end due to myself being self employed and explaining the reasoning of why to Oulsnam Redditch, this information was NOT passed on to the vendors, fortunately to our surprise the vendors were happy to wait till we had the relevant paper work in place. We promptly got the mortgage approved and made a new offer to the vendors as the property market had decreased in value. My partner handled the negotiation phone calls back and forth, upsettingly Oulsnam Redditch made my partner feel pushed into a corner and very guilty to purchase the property. We were compelled into getting all the searches done before we even signed any paperwork of the property, nevertheless we paid fees to our solicitor and all the searches we property sent over to ourselves and Oulsnam Redditch within a few days. Since then ourselves and our solicitor have been left in the dark for weeks, very little and next to no form of effort and communication from any member of Oulsnam Redditch, despite sending several emails asking for a state of update. Countless phone calls have been made to the shop telephone number during their stated opening hours, we feel ghosted and left at the bottom of the pile by Oulsnam Redditch, as Oulsnam are clearly not in the slightest form of interest to get another 5 star sale under their name. From two upset and annoyed first time buyers. PS Reading the latest 5 star reviews on google about Oulsnam Redditch we have NOT seen any of the following “Oulsnams Redditch handled our house sale very professionally, and we could always speak to someone regarding it, they got back to us immediately.” “very good communications.” “Everyone I spoke to was so friendly and helpful, and always went above and beyond to help me out.”

We are extremely disappointed to read this. We are aware that buying a home is a new experience for a first time buyer and can appear frustrating and long winded. However, we feel your recollections vary from our own perspective. The seller waited four months for you to put your affairs in order so you could submit your mortgage application and it was the seller who requested searches are ordered (not a survey) done to show good faith. After four months, because of your mortgage offer, you then requested a price reduction which the seller was understandably disappointed in. We did keep the parties advised but much of the delays were on your side. We are sorry you have decided to submit this review and would have been more than happy to discuss these issues at the time.

A rented property I chose needed a deep clean and bringing to standards but on receipt of the keys it was badly cleaned and was left full of spiders and cobwebs and damp patches! Although it was arranged quickly and staff was quick and helpful throughout,the property was poorly presented to me with me having to re decorate and repair things and re clean the house myself! Very poor quality of standards and not satisfactory compared to other property reports in their reviews. apauling presentation of a property! What happened to their QC and standards!

Thank you Krishnaswami for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We do, however, feel it is important to clarify that following the end of a tenancy, the condition of a property is assessed against the original inventory and check-in documentation. Where cleaning, damage or other works are identified at check-out, these need to be considered and dealt with in accordance with the tenancy and the appropriate deposit procedures. We appreciate that the check-out and deposit process can sometimes be frustrating where there are differences of opinion regarding the condition in which a property has been returned. Our team aims to communicate clearly throughout and to ensure that any proposed deductions are supported by the relevant information and evidence. We’re sorry that you feel you would not recommend our service, but we remain confident that the correct process has been followed and that the matters raised at the end of the tenancy have been handled fairly and professionally. Gary

avoid Kathy at all costs, you can tell that agencies are only kind when you can bring them some sort of income as opposed to being there for the tenants. kathy has made a lot of allegations about repeatedly trying to call yet failing to understand we both work, in settings where phone calls cannot always be answered. in the background there have been communications with the lenders to get this fixed however I find it disgusting how they treated us.

Yumna - Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience. We appreciate that work commitments can make it difficult to answer telephone calls during the day. Our attempts to contact you by phone were made to discuss your application as quickly as possible and to help progress matters. Where we were unable to reach you, we also communicated via email to ensure you remained informed. We understand that you were in contact with your lender regarding your application, and we appreciate the efforts you made during the process. Unfortunately, there are times when deadlines associated with a tenancy application must be met, and we have to act in accordance with the agreed process. As outlined in the holding deposit agreement and the accompanying email correspondence, the holding fee is non-refundable in these circumstances. This information was provided before the payment was made. We are sorry that you feel let down by your experience, as it is always our intention to treat every applicant with professionalism, fairness and respect, regardless of the outcome. We wish you all the best in finding a suitable property. Harrisons Team.

Booked an appointment online on Saturday to view a house for Monday at 6pm, as i have had no correspondence, i rang the office up to be told they had no message from me, so I therefore asked to view the property on Thur at 6.00pm i was told that because no one is living at the property the last viewing is 4.30pm how do people get to view properties when they work Found the customer service very poor

We're genuinely sorry to read your review and that you feel your experience with us wasn't to the standard you expected. We completely understand how frustrating arranging viewings can be, especially when you're trying to fit appointments around work commitments. We always try to be as accommodating as possible because we appreciate that many buyers aren't available during normal working hours. Unfortunately, there are occasions where we're unable to offer every requested appointment time. When this happens, we always aim to make this clear and offer alternative appointment options wherever possible. We have tried to contact you to better understand what happened with your original online viewing request, but unfortunately haven't been able to reach you. Our understanding is that a member of our team also offered an extended viewing appointment on an alternative date, which we understand you chose not to proceed with. We'd really welcome the opportunity to investigate what happened with your initial enquiry and discuss your experience further. If you're happy to do so, please contact our Sales Director, Victoria, at victoria@harrisonsnet.co.uk, and she'll personally look into this for you. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to put things right.
