If I could give zero stars i would. Not worth the hassle, the lettings agent was a pain from the start, wouldn’t let us email them across most of the information, had to spend the day rushing around to get the application in. Then to make matters worse they withdrew our application without telling us, until they did it! They said they tried ringing us, however I work 12 hour shifts and work nights so I’m not awake in the day to answer their calls. They expect you to reply straight away and be at the beck and call. I work so I can pay your ridiculous rent prices! People can’t just drop work because you expect them to, whether it’s viewings or filling the referencing out. Also, they never said we had 24 hours to fill in the referencing, so clearly a lack of communication and inept staff. You’ve just lost some really good tenants now.

Amy again you have left this review on the Sales page like your partner and we do feel it is unfair to react with 1 star reviews if things do not go your way. However it its a competitive rental market and please let us state quite clearly, we do not set the rental prices. This is simple supply and demand and if the Government keeps forcing private landlords out of the market rents will rise unfortunately. We sympathise with you having to work but we were clear in our requirements and we cannot be to blame if you didn't respond and we have other tenants waiting. We act for the landlord who wanted to go with the other party and have to look after their interests first. Good luck finding suitable accommodation.

Renters - avoid at all costs. Just not worth the hassle. Pulled our application, but did not tell us we had 24hrs to fill out an application. Myself and my partner both have full time professional jobs and had a busy weekend which did not provide time to complete the referencing. Molly claims to have emailed to warn us, but we have found no evidence of this. Also said they had called, but only called my partner not me, when my number was on the form as well. I've had better communication from a brick wall. Generally awkward to deal with.

Sorry James this is the Sales page but we will look into this and come back to you. We have looked into this and reply as we did to your partner above, its a competitive rental market and please let us state quite clearly, we do not set the rental prices. This is simple supply and demand and if the Government keeps forcing private landlords out of the market rents will rise unfortunately. We sympathise with you having to work but we were clear in our requirements and we cannot be to blame if you didn't respond and we have other tenants waiting.

Dreadful agent - James particularly. He supplied my sick mother with dodgy tenants who we then had to evict and they refused to supply us with the original AST and any bank details to recover the substantial losses we've suffered. He said he'd 'lost' all records. How is that possible in the digital age? AVOID

Hi Rosa, thank you for the 4 Star review and good to hear that we looked after you. We will look to see what we can do to continue to offer a great service.

Do not rent with Ewemove Winchester. They refused to answer calls regarding maintenance issues. We were without hot water for 2 weeks, no washing machine for 3 weeks, no heating for a month during winter, and lived in moldy and damp conditions that they had freshly painted over before we moved in. They do NOT answer calls about maintenance issues and for each issue I had to call 3 times a day and repeatedly email to eventually get anything fixed. Eventually I threatened to involve the council regarding the damp issue and then suddenly they were able to get our heating fixed. At the end of the tenancy, it took 2 months to get our deposit back. I repeatedly phoned and emailed about it to be ignored, eventually I phoned their personal mobile numbers and they sent it back. If you read other reviews you will see all the positive reviews are about buying property, and the negative reviews are all in relation to renting. This is the first time I've left a Google review as I was that disappointed and frustrated with their service. Do not rent with them.

Avoid EweMove – Extremely Unprofessional Experience We had an incredibly disappointing experience renting through EweMove (Winchester/Salisbury). From the outset, we were misled about the nature of the tenancy, including who owned the property. We were told it had been bought by an overseas landlord, only to later discover it was still being actively marketed for sale — something the agent avoided discussing and never followed up on when questioned. It turns out we were renting directly from the property developer, who was still trying to sell the property and had only rented it out temporarily for cash flow. Throughout our tenancy, important maintenance issues were repeatedly ignored. Communication was consistently poor — unless it related to arranging viewings for potential buyers. Agents frequently turned up unannounced, and one in particular — Sarah — was patronising, intrusive, and repeatedly approached us without prior notice. On one occasion, during an unannounced visit, she went through our rubbish and recycling. When we emailed a formal complaint about this, we were ignored — until we recently escalated the issue to their head of franchise, at which point they finally admitted to going through our bins. Despite all of this, we really liked the house and decided to try and purchase it through the other agent, Charters, who had also been appointed. We did not want to deal with EweMove due to the lack of trust. Following our offer through Charters, the developers shared this information with James White from EweMove, who then began contacting us persistently, pressuring us to increase our offer and warning us that our tenancy would not be renewed. This was despite knowing we were expecting our first child. It felt like our situation was being deliberately exploited. We left the property in excellent condition and paid for a professional end of tenancy clean. EweMove carried out the checkout inventory, and the property was marked as sold STC the very next day. It has now been over two and a half weeks since we moved out, and our requests for the return of our £2,800 deposit have been ignored — money we urgently need while on maternity leave. We have referred our complaint to The Property Ombudsman, who has accepted the case, and we are currently going through the process with them. Based on our experience, we would strongly advise others to avoid EweMove.

HI Hannah, We did not intentionally mislead lead you about who owns the property you rented. The property was a new build looking to be sold and we had many would be buyers, come to view it. Important maintenance issues were not ignored. They were received from you, we noted them, we communicated them to the owner and they were doing their own maintenance, so did these maintenance items within their own timescales. We had no control of this. As we were on and off the site doing viewings at the other properties that were being sold we communicated with you via emial, Whatsapp and simply knocking on your door to talk things through... I understand that you didn't like this after a while. Sarah did go though the bins as new bins had been ordered for the other houses and you had put your refuse in a new bust bin which was not for your house. So this was had to be reorganised. When we spoke to you about buying the house we had to tell you the owners intentions about them wanting the house back. We wen't trying to put pressure on you. You put in an offer, which at the time was not acceptable to the sellers. They later came back to accept your offer although you had moved on to another property. You left the property on the 9th April, we emailed you on the 10th April to say that we were waiting for the landlord to confirm the release of your deposit after us doing the move out inspection. This is now in process with the DPS. You have referred your complaint to the Property Ombudsman and it is pending review with them. We always try our best for all our tenants. We would never intentionally try to make anyone feel uncomfortable...! We will take this situation and study it, to take on board the learnings in put them into our work processes.. We wish you all the best for the future. James White Branch Director

I would never rent from this company again. Deceitful and unprofessional. I would recommend taking plenty of photos when you move out because this company will lie and try to take your deposit.

Not very helpful at all unfortunately. I'm homeless, sofa surfing after fleeing domestic abuse and sadly I couldn't make a viewing for a property due to work commitments, I only got offered the viewing yesterday. Apparently it's their policy that you HAVE to view the property before putting in an application. I can't find this policy on their website and despite my awful situation they offered no solution and were very abrupt. Very unfortunate because other Estate Agents have been very considerate. Surely if I'm okay putting in an application having only seen pictures, knowing full well the property would be suitable for myself as a single person that should be enough, as it is with most estate agents but it isn't and gets you a very frosty response.

Lauren we are most distressed to receive this review but we can’t accept applications if you haven’t viewed the house. The demand is very high at the moment and if house in question is popular others will undoubtedly get the property. We are sorry for your situation and will try and help you if you see something else.

Worst Estate Agents Around. They need to learn how to communicate with their clients. You never informed me with anything, so stop your lies. Gillian Spence Marla your Senior Letting Manager needs Customer Service Skills as she doesnt know how to talk to a customer. I requested a contractor to be sent out to the property Asap which you failed to do aswell as there were no follow-ups and nither any confirmation through emails that someone is gona visit the site instead so i assumed you didnt find anyone instead you bill me for something that i didn't require again and nither justified.You wasn't thinking i was gona wait forever for you imaginary contractor to turn up were you. And Thanks for nothing.

Usman were obviously really disappointed to receive this review. We have investigated this and we are sorry but we totally disagree with your comments as we clearly arranged with you for contractors to visit the house and you refused them entry which is where the problem arose. Contractors will unfortunately always charge for a failed visit which we cannot change.
