The 4 star review reflects my experience with the Connells Watford Parade branch, who worked hard to find us a good quality tenant. The lettings side of this business appears to work well. However, as a landlord of 2 years, I have to say that we have ...

Worst, they will lie tpo you to get their contract signed to higher Asking price saying its just a representative they need to put on contract and then after the sale would force you to pay the higher fees even though they would sell it for less.

I was taken off guard by the agent's fees. I thought the person hiring the agent to find renters for their property would pay for their services. So getting a £400+ fee shocked me.
