Terrible experience with this company and I wouldn’t recommend. Spoke with an agent, Gill, who from the very beginning had an awful attitude and her responses were very unprofessional and disrespectful. Prospective customers should be treated with a level of respect and decency which is lacking at this company. You’d think they would have a basic understanding of the properties they’re selling but instead she responded to my questions as “how am I supposed to know”. Looking through the rest of the google reviews, it seems that customer service at this place isn’t the best.

We are sorry you were unhappy with our service but Gill works in Rentals and you mentioned a house to sell so which side were you dealing with and what was the nature of your issue? The vast majority of our reviews mention great customer which we pride ourselves on so we are very concerned your experience was so poor. We have since looked into this and it is a rental house and Gill did offer to find out about the queries you had after we had spoken to the landlord. You wanted the landlord's number but unfortunately we cannot disclose this information due to data protection laws. We are sorry you were so unhappy but we do not feel we could do anymore here.

If you are looking for extremely poor customer service, Ewemove definitely meets your expectations. Over the course of three years, I faced serious and ongoing issues, including major leaks, broken appliances, faulty windows, and excessive delays in repairs — some of which remained unresolved for an unreasonably long time. For example, you might not believe it, but the window was broken. I sent multiple emails, they came to inspect it, even took measurements, and yet after three years, when we left the property, the window was still broken. Communication was consistently unreliable. Emails and calls were frequently ignored, and once rent was paid, tenant concerns did not appear to be a priority. I was also repeatedly given conflicting and misleading information about whether and how the landlord had been contacted, which created confusion and undermined trust. After three years, I eventually spoke directly with the landlord, who stated that they had not been informed about several of these issues. This directly contradicted what I had earlier been told by the agency, where I was informed that the landlord was aware and had declined to act. This did not seem to be an isolated issue with one individual; rather, it reflected a wider pattern, including after the transition from Salisbury to Winchester. After seeing this kind of behavior and service, it became very clear to me why the Salisbury branch was closed. Regarding the return of my deposit, despite speaking with James before handing over the property and clearly asking that, at the very least, this be handled properly and on time, more than three weeks passed after checkout. During this period, I sent multiple follow-up emails and chased the matter, yet received no response. It was only after I stated that I would take legal action that the deposit was returned within a matter of hours. Apparently, what should have been a simple click was treated like rocket science — somehow taking three weeks to complete. Working with them has truly been a nightmare. I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution before renting through Ewemove. Save yourself the stress, learn from my experience. You've been warned.

Stay well away if renting. We pay our rent every month with no fail and on Wednesday the property had an infection of bugs; I have had to move out of the property and have been trying to speak to someone.... no one returns calls and no one is interested - I am now living in my car and have cancelled my direct debit!

I have been a landlord client with this branch of ewe move for nearly 3 years. Over the past 2 months I have made contact with the branch manager, the property manager and 2 members of staff in the office. My issue turned inti a complaint …

HI Lou, my apologies, I have been away on annual leave over half term and so have fallen behind on my work a little. I will get this transfer completed for you. We are sorry to see you go and we throughly enjoyed working with you. If there's anything we can do in the future please let us know. Best wishes, James

I have been a landlord client with this branch of ewe move for nearly 3 years. Over the past 2 months I have made contact with the branch manager, the property manager and 2 members of staff in the office. My issue turned inti a complaint that was never replied to. I am now moving the management of the property to another agent, to which both the agent and I have approved Ewe Move asking for handover documentation. The switching agent was acknowledged over 2 weeks ago and since then I have called twice and promised a call back. Still nothing. I’m a paying landlord being totally ignored and I’ve done enough chasing now. Unfortunately the only way I can think of to seek communication is via writing a review. Further to this Ewe Move have failed to do inspections or inform me of any inspections at my property. If you’re a landlord I would seriously stay clear of this firm.

As a contractor for Ewe Move I can only say how depressingly poor these guys are at communicating. I'm talking months of chasing payment, ignored calls and Whatsapp messages. Which then turned into months of false promises, excuses of a change in system, and generally anything to delay, stall and royally shaft what I'd call myself a reliable contractor. On the surface James - the director, comes across as the most genuine and caring guys, so I gave him time to sort said 'issues' yet here we are months later with payment unresolved. I've read other reviews and heard horror stories from other people in the local housing industry which allude to a poorly run firm built on plenty of hot air but no substance. Avoid at all costs.

I'd give them zero stars if I could. Please avoid these cowboys. I've recently vacated a property that they manage and I've received nothing but threatening emails from Kate, Alex and Gail saying they are going to apply for a CCJ against me, yes I admit that I was owning some rent when vacating however offered them a repayment plan as they stated they were unable to take this from the deposit however I have now had then claim this from the deposit, and they seem to think I'll still be paying the £40 a month offered, not a chance your not getting double from me. The property I vacated was deemed as not fit for human inhabitation due to the dangerous loft and the roof needing a major repairs. I will be taking legal advise and will fight them the whole way as they have new tenants in the property now EDIT in response to the reply from yourselves, notice wasn't given for rent arrears, the rent owed is for the last month and I have emails to prove this and also the threat of a CCJ. The property has been re let as I've been informed by a number of neighbours and for for you saying it needed cleaning, the property was left in the state it was given, I admit I forgot a chair in the small room but that doesn't warrant you trying to claim over £2000 from myself, I will be speaking to my solicitor

We’re really sorry to receive this Nicholas as it is obviously not our aim to upset people. This should really have been posted on the Rentals page but we will look into your complaint and come back to you. However when rent arrears are due we have to protect our client who is owed the monies otherwise they can fall into arrears with their lender. Nicolas, we have now looked into this and we will contact you direct to try and resolve the matter. We do however dispute your review as we have not threatened you with a CCJ, the house has not been re-let as it needs cleaning, the rent is owed to the landlord and he gave notice because of this.

Didn’t answer the phone, didn’t reply to emails and voice mails for over 2 weeks. When we did eventually get through to them they used our interest to get another offer pushed through without informing us there was another offer.

Reply from agent

Richard, we apologise for the breakdown in communication but we always respond to voicemails and emails so we will look into this matter with urgency. Unfortunately the house you were looking at already had an offer and we were waiting for proof of funds to confirm it was sold hence we had to cancel your viewing. We do however wish you success with finding a new home.

I came off the phone call shaking, A lady Teresa! Or something similar was rude and abrupt from start! I explained I was in remission from a bad disease but always worked full time and will when I'm finished recovery. A raised voice shouted over mine while I was explaining my current landlord and estate agents are helping me find a new home and putting the deposit down for me as I've put new carpets in the house, trying to explain how good of tenant I have been! I heard a loud voice dictate on a rude manner what is needed to rent a house, obviously knowing what is needed as I explained what I've just put above! This literally put me off instantly on wanting to even use this company now. I explained to the lady she made me feel and I ended the phone call! Shaking and crying because let's face it house searching is hard for a start. I'm utterly disappointed I've even had to write this, but surely the managers aren't allowing their staff to be like this. If this is how this lady treats people who have just fought to live on calls I don't feel customers will be rushing as alot of people have illnesses since the forced covid vaccines! Regards

We are sorry you so upset Kate and this was obviously not our intention. Teresa is one of our most helpful and experienced staff members so we are very surprised however we will look into this and come back to you shortly. We have looked into this now and again we are sorry you felt you need to leave such a poor review and sympathise with your condition and situation. However a manager was sat in the same office whilst this conversation was taking place and we have to disagree completely that raised voices were used and you were spoken to in what you felt was such a poor manner. Teresa simply explained how our procedure worked but unfortunately you didn’t want to accept this. We do however wish you luck finding in finding a new home.
