This is a little belated but our thanks are no less sincere, for the support we have received over the years with the rental of our property, eg. finding tenants, preparation of Agreements, reminders and general advice and support. Your service has been both professional and greatly valued.
I have dealt with Harker and Bullman for the last year and found all the staff with out exception to be friendly and helpful. They really care about their clients and every tenant I meet feels the same! Reputations as good as theirs and hard to achieve and don't come over night so well done to you all
We have been renting a property with H&B since 2021, and have a lovely place we call home. Through effective communication with Karen, we have been allowed to make some changes to suit us, which makes our home more personal, and less of a property that belongs to someone else, (although we know it does). Any issues we have experienced, or advice needed, Karen has been more than helpful to ensure our needs are met. Thank you for all you do, we really do appreciate it, and wouldn't be here without you! Would we recommend?? Absolutely yes!
Nikita Horton , A breath of fresh air . So professional and a charming person . We'll be sorry when she leaves as she dealt with matters quickly and efficiently! Clive and Vicky Birch.
Wimborne team were very helpful 👍🏿 …
Further Update Issue with the property has been going on since November 2023, damp still in chimney. MD not been in contact, however Jack in the office has now assising with us liasing for another quote. Bring back Nakita Horton! Update The owner of the company was very helpful, after raising the issue I had with him direct he followed it up within 24 hours and visited my property to address the issue. He is currently investigating this internally and is keeping me updated during the process. Making a bad experience into a positive experience. Previous one star comment I am a tenant and have been waiting 3 months for a maintenance issue. Chased 6 times by phone and email in the last week and still waiting for Megan to respond. I have given reasonable time to find a solution to the damp in the property and yet we have had no solution after months of raising this with H&B Bear this in mind before renting.
Viewed a lovely property which we went through the application process for, even offered extra 6 months rent as we were so keen on going ahead. Took 5 days to hear back to say we were unsuccessful, rude lady on the phone who when I asked why it had taken so long/why we werent chosen for this property, she said they don’t like to ‘harass’ landlords... harass and communicate with are different things in my eyes having worked in sales. I was then rushed off the phone and have since found a property made an offer and paid deposit in same day. If you want anything doing quickly as new renters avoid this one! Have received an apology from the manager which I fully accept and understand we are in difficult times but was very disappointed with the service we were given.
Very dishonest, awful communication and to top it off farm your data. I was the first person to ring this agent about a lovely property that had just come on the rental market within 5 minutes of being listed. The property was not ready for viewings as the tenants were still in the property. I was promised by Emily, a call back the following day to arrange a viewing but did not receive that call. I then rang the following day, by which point of course the viewings were filled but managed to be fitted in at nearly the end of a full day of viewings. After viewing, showing our keen interest and offering a higher deposit, we were promised call backs on many occasions updating us on our application. I noticed over two weeks after the viewing, that the property was Let Agreed so called for an update and she stated the landlords of the property were coming in "that day" (how convenient) and we would receive a call by the end of the day. Firstly, again, that call never came, secondly, why lie knowing the let has already been agreed? She also mentioned that the landlords were an elderly couple, and I’m not sure how that was relevant? What a strange lie to come up knowing full well the property was off the market? That could have just been said straight away. To top it all off, we have had none stop scam emails since giving over our email addresses to this estate agents. We will never be giving over our personal email address again to any of these snake estate agents again. We are quite glad to have avoided living in a property managed by Nicolas Humphrey's, because if we had an issue, we can imagine just how poor the communication and delayed the resolution would be as tenants. We would know doubt face a web of lies about something as simple as a boiler being fixed! Shady, absolutely terrible communication and dishonest - Avoid.
