I have had several problems with Townends, from the beginning I moved in, right through to when I left. Firstly when we initially moved in, they didn't tell us they were at the property with our keys and doing inventory, so we never even saw the inventory and had to move in a couple of days later to rearrange. Secondly, they hid behind their 'laws' when we were looking to potentially vacate after 1 year and we had an ongoing battle about how much notice we have to give, we insisted it was 1 month, they insisted 2 months, even though it was the end of the contract. Then after we had resigned the same contract we moved out 6 months later and they said we only had to give 1 months' notice, a contradiction in itself! Thirdly, when I did raise a complaint about their service, their manager at the head office spoke with me, offered no form of apology and frankly just didn't listen to anything I was saying, and used a lot of jargon to once again hide behind. Forthly, when a certain agent from the Putney branch came to show people around our flat she didn't introduce herself and waltzed right in without asking us. She was very informally dressed and had quite a rude attitude and basically came across as unprofessional. We were lucky that we had such great landlords and mainly dealt with them, but I would definitely recommend people DONT USE TOWNENDS!

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.

Over the years, I have had my share of shifty and dishonest letting agencies in London. After all, the 'we grab your money and give you nothing in return is a pretty popular strategy. These people win the cake as the most disgustingly and openly dishonest bunch of pirates I have ever had the ... Read Full Review

In a day that I was completely desperate to find a place live, with only two weeks left to vacate, I went to several agencies(at least ten) on that day, and townends was one of the last ones. There I met Sam, which was the only agent that quickly tried to find out a solution for my case and in a... Read Full Review
The fees are a bit higher than other agencies, but it was worth every penny.
