Awful to deal with. We put an offer in on a property which was accepted by the vendor on a Saturday. By Monday Strakers decided to tell us that the vendor was not prepared to remove the property from the market in case they received a higher offer.....which they mysteriously did the next day. We increased our offer to full asking price which was again accepted, then the following day (Thurs) we were told they had received yet another higher offer and if we really wanted the property, we would need to go in over the full asking price. We pulled out of buying the property & made the bold step of speaking to the vendors directly who didn't have a clue what was going on and thought we were the ones purchasing their property!

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.

Strakers are dreadful. So much miscommunication and they deny what has been said. Not good value for money as you still end up managing your property yourself. I would not recommend them at all they have very poor attitude. I sent a comprehensive email to Karen the manager of rentals and she... Read Full Review

I have been letting my property through Strakers for over 10 years, not because I enjoy letting through them, but because I recieved the house with a tenant, whom is a lovely lady and gives me no grief whatsoever, and strakers had originally organised the let. I have never changed the agent due to... Read Full Review

The worst lettings/estate agency I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. All staff dealt with have been incredibly unpleasant, contentious, arrogant, unprofessional, unknowledgeable and unhelpful. This includes the practice manager who failed to respond appropriately or professionally to a... Read Full Review

I rented a property through them and found them to be one of the many terrible agents. High fees, tried to charge every 6 months until I researched and found this to be illegal, visited the property every six months so no doubt charging the landlotd, and invading my priavcy and not allowing me to...

The process of buying and selling a house as everyone knows, is immensely stressful. Partly due to the unpredictability of buyers/sellers and the changing local market. We have used Devizes Strakers partly because they have the best record of success in the area, but mostly because the whole office ... Read Full Review

I would like to say what wonderful agents Strakers have been, assisting me with sales over the past months. Selling your house can be so stressful and people so unpredictable but they are sensitive and consistent in their approach to move the sale forward and work through issues which there...

Whatever you do,do not rent a property through these agents. They are despicable people on the management side who will tell you on checking out at the end of your tenancy how clean you have left the property only to then submit a cleaning bill. Luckily we spoke to the cleaning company who told us... Read Full Review

Awful experience selling. Was told to sell with them so they could represent more firmly to a house we were interested in buying. Absolutely untrue! They asked nothing about our property and were unable to respond to queries. They left our property unlocked over a weekend and their view on our... Read Full Review

I went into the Devizes office to enquire about letting our property as we were relocatng abroad, Karen came to view the property and gave the impression of being able to meet our set target of August to let out the property. We sat down while she took a brief history of the property, where we were ... Read Full Review

I share rented a house in Devizes. 6 months in I was accused of an an assault which never took place. The police arrested me as they must do with any complaint of assault -even if false. The lodger who I contend was trying to frame me took it upon themselves to knock all the doors of neighbours,... Read Full Review

Awful Experience, within first week of tenancy a terrible damp smell evident. Strakers failed to follow their own complaints policy and I ended the tenancy ASAP having had to leave the property three months earlier. The heating remained on when hot water being heated and this was dreadful during... Read Full Review
