The agent was highly unprofessional and had 3 viewing back to back for the same property. I was the first one to view and confirmed the property on the spot. I was told they still have to honor the rest of the viewings out of courtesy and as soon as the viewings are over, they will give me a call and take the holding fees. Despite, telling them that I need this urgently, agent assured me that since i have confirmed first, the rest of the viewings are just out of courtesy. I never got a call back from the agent again. They kept on delaying and then I was told that they had multiple interests for the property for which they are checking with the landlord. Again, I waited a little and directly called the agent who was with me while I viewed the property and it went on a voice mail. Tried her number a couple of times and each time on a voice mail. Next minute, I picked one of my friends phone and it got through this time. It does feel like she kinda blocked me or something. She told me landlord has confirmed the property for someone else and if referencing fails she will contact me and gave me some bogus reasons for not accepting my tenancy when she clear didn't even consider my option.
Although, now looking at the issues some of the others faced here, mine was a joy ride.

Truly the worst estate agents I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Long story short, decided to rent a property through Conells. Was constantly messed around by the branch, to the point that on moving in day, I was told I could no ...

Dreadful experience. From phantom buyers, to no shows to badly vetted buyers. Dont go near these clowns with a barge pole. After finally finding a buyer 7 months later they expect us to pay them the commission for a sale they didnt arrange, completely ignoring the ...

"Dear Adam
I was present at Connells throughout the whole process of this sale and whilst both staff members are no longer in this branch I believe this needs addressing publicly as your review is utterly misleading.
You state we should have “obeyed the laws and regulationsâ€. It is those very laws and regulations that seem to have caused your anger. We followed them stringently and were audited on this sale internally and externally. I’m unsure why you’re playin ...

Another awful agency in a sea of awful agencies. Don't buy from them as they will lead you into unnecessary credit checks which will effect your credit score when they are well aware your offer has not been accepted. They told us that our offer ...

I have had exactly the same problem with Connells in Eastleigh. Didn't want their mortgage advice and low and behold after speaking with a seller who was desperate to sell I put the first offer in for the full asking price. Connells then fobbed me off for 3 days saying that as it was a Shared Ownership property they had to have agreement from the housing association before my offer could be accepted. What a load of rubbish - I rang the housing association who confirmed they do not get involve ...
