I have been trying to deal with Connells over the last few weeks, and had some "trouble", so have done some digging among friends who have moved recently. The one story that crops up every time is "Connells are crap, used Taylors in the end". ...

Appalling service, a real pack of miss information. Valued the property then as soon as we had signed told us we had too high an expectation on the price.. You must be joking!!! Never contacted us from one week to the next. Demanded not to ...

Reading through the reviews on here it seems only to clear that Connels are only interested in making sales and not the customers needs or wants. We to had their mortgage advisor pushing us to take out a mortgage with them, even after they knew ...

The worst estate agent I have ever come across. Value the house at one price. Advise you to put it up at another price and then get potential buyers who cannot even afford the list price. Came in with a potential buyer only to leave ...

We purchased a buy to let property through Connells Wolverhampton. The staff we dealt with were extremely helpful. They kept us more informed than our solicitor. Nothing was too much trouble. Have viewed property through them since and have received the same good customer service....

Waited 2 weeks for a board, 2 weeks for a brochure which had to be re written, no choice of photos. We were constantly harrassed. Staff totally unhelpful, only intersted in their side of the deal. They own the recommended solicitors so you don't even have independent legal advice. Overcharged for morgage advice. Just a terrible experience I wouldn't want anyone else to go through. Avoid at all costs. ...
