No end of problems from start to finish. Advised us to use 'sale by tender' system and gave a guide price for our property. Took an upfront fee of over £300 for this service. Open days a disaster - very few viewers lined up; some had cancelled earlier in the day but Wards had not informed us or their agent doing the viewing; some arrived that were not booked in to view! Agent doing viewings turned up late and seemed quite disinterested in whole thing. Many issues re viewings and lack of communication from Wards e.g viewers cancelling but message not relayed to us; viewers turning up that Wards said had cancelled but hadn't etc. Offers received on our property that were not relayed to us but put on their web site! Technical difficulties with on line marketing which took our property off the market several times inaccurately so it wasn't being marketed. Manager (Neil) was often 'not available' and did not reply to emails sent directly to him. Carried on marketing our property 8 days after contract with them ended (despite a phone call to remind them they no longer had the contract). Would not refund the sale by tender fee!
- better communication (with us, viewers and eachother in the branch!) - better marketing advice - improve organisation of open days - improve ICT systems

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Unfortunately I have no option but to give a poor feedback on the recent sale of my property. Firstly numerous pairs of feet walked through my property & feedback was all similar, stating lack of outside space/parking/bedrooms in basement being an issue, if indeed any feedback was received at...

I received a token reduction when buyer number two pulled out however the fees that were finally exchanged were in my view disgustingly high for the amount of actual work that was done to get me to a completed sale. Most of the info I sought myself and informed the branch and solicitors

You can only really judge customer service when things go wrong. I left a positive review before but all that good work was undone. After having an offer accepted and starting the process of surveys the vendor pulled out (not their fault of course). The call to me was bad enough for me but Dan... Read Full Review

They charged more than other agents but don't even provide a floor plan, even though they originally said they did.

If you are looking for an agent to mis-manage your letting property, * your tenants about and be generally ** at everything then these are your people. Typical disorganised corporate rubbish. Go with an independent and save yourselves a fortune in money and... Read Full Review
