David Wilkins and another male member of staff I spoke to on the phone were without doubt the rudest, most unprofessional estate agents I have ever had the displeasure of working with. My personal dispute with David had been 'discussed' in the office and I was met with insults and a rude attitude when I expressed my disdain about this. Photos taken for our property were used again to sell the property 2 years later for the next vendor without asking permission, of which I was accused of being 'precious' about because my 'toaster was online'. I have previously been a client but was told I more or less did not matter as I was not one any more. Sarcastic, rude, horribly unprofessional and absolutely recommend anybody steers clear!

It was not 2 years ago, it was in fact less than a year ago, all our photos were used, which is misleading to potential buyers, and it features our entire flat and its contents as it was. I simply stated prior permission to do this would have been courteous. Apr 16, 2015
No, my complaint is the rudeness and horrible attitude of you and your colleagues, which seems to be a common theme reading the rest of your poor reviews. And yes, it is a violation of privacy and I care if my house contents are online, simple laziness on your behalf. When I tried to reasonably discuss this with you, your communication skills were appalling. I was also not a 'tenant'. The house was simply sold under my partner's name. Apr 16, 2015

The above review is not from a current vendor. It is in fact from a tenant of a property that we sold 2 years ago. Her complaint is that there is a photo currently displayed of the property when she was living there. She feels that, two years on, this is an violation of her privacy. I believe that this is a rather "precious" point of view. No-one looking at the property details will remotely care or have any idea.

As a company we instructed 2 local agents to market a potentially tricky older style property close to the town centre. Oliver James quickly introduced a number of viewers and following a visit to their office which clearly demonstrated an excellent knowledge of both market conditions ...

David Wilkins is the most unprofessional estate agent I have ever encountered. He is unreliable and outright rude. I feel sorry for anyone letting a property through this joke of a man/business. Additionally we found the property infested with rats, the garden overgrown, the ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
David Wilkins was extremely slow to complete basic procedures, took excessive time off work, and didn't get back to me on my lease offer for weeks. He has shouted at me over the phone, used stereotypes to describe me when talking to my housemate and was also extremely rude when he attended a house inspection at the property. This man should not have a job.Attached Filesnbsp;

Jean Phillipe Pollonais did not pay his rent. He and his house mate were nuisance tenants and have been frequently reported by the neighbours to the authorities for their anti-social behaviour.They were smoking heavily in the house despite it being a non smoking tenancy. There have also been three visits made to the house by the police. After repeated warnings we moved to evict them. At this point one of the boy's fathers stepped in to improve and guarantee their behaviour. He also paid the outs ...

David Wilkins is, without doubt, the worst agent I have come across in my 60+ years. My daughter was thinking of selling the house she lives in, but it is owned by trusts and requires the trusts to agree any contract. He has been informed of ...

Quick enquiry regarding the property, received complete disinterest and general rudeness. Asked if the landlord would accept pets. Answer was I don't know, give me your number, will call back.
Never called back.
Another property my partner enquired about, entirely independently to my enquiry, met ...
