Tucker Gardner in shelford is the worst agent we have ever used. Totally conned. Signed a two year lease and then was told landlord wanted too sell. So our response was ok but we will find something else. We did then we were unable to end the tenancy as they said we were not allowed just to end it!!! Eventually we were told we could give a months notice which we did then it was retracted. We moved out and was held reliable for the rent until new tenant was found. Obviously agent sided with landlord and we lost almost £1000 due to their incompetence. Why phone and say the landlord wants to sell if you don't want us to move out???? They caused us to lose all that money, and advice is fon't touch them with a barge pole- Hannah has no clue what she is talking about.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Not made the call in the first place, if we were all bound by a legal contract why bother phoning us to say landlord wants too sell???

How terribly unfair to pick out a staff member by name, given that this was a situation entirely of the tenant's own making. Tenancy agreements contain break clauses, which in our case is two months for the landlord and just one month for the tenant (many tenancy agreements make it two months for both so ours is quite lenient). In this instance the tenant wanted to leave without giving any notice and quite rightly was told that they could not do so. They did then serve notice but they then retracted the notice, before moving out any way. As such the situation and any loss arose as a result of the tenant's actions and we appear to be being maligned because they could not do what they wanted when they wanted. All we did was have the courtesy to tell them that the owner was considering selling but many investment properties are sold with the tenants remaining in situ.

Deany Harris, is an asset to the team, she has shown high professionalism and empathy in her line of work. I was very distressed and upset, however, the other staff team were not helpful. Deany, listened to me, she took time out to help out even though she has never spoken to me before and was only covering for the staff who was meant to sort things out for me. Deany, I have no doubt will take the organisation to a higher height. She is one in a million and an excellent rating is what befits her.

An absolute shambles of a company. I rented via TG for 2 years, had problems from the get go with them. Firstly, issues with the house when I first moved in - only a handful of matters were resolved and ironically the ones that didn't really cost much. Fast forward to my exiting the property, I am now a month on with no deposit returned as of yet. The staff are totally incompetent and are trying to charge me now for things that were 1. in the inventory from when I moved in and 2. since the new tenants have moved in and have obviously reported the same issues I had. Whilst I lived at the property I made vast improvements to the gardens at no extra cost to them or my Landlord. How this company is still running is beyond a joke. DO NOT RENT WITH TUCKER GARDNER.

I would give Tucker Gardner less than a star if that were possible. First off, it took forever to get anyone to respond to any problem with the property, no matter how often the problem was reported whether online or through calls. In my second year of living in the property, the company refused to give me the agreement and overcharged me for the rent (i.e. I was given an amount to pay that was more than what the landlady wanted). As a result, I overpaid the company each month for a whole year. When the agreement was shown to me in my third year at the property, I realised that I had been overcharged for the previous year and drew this to their attention. Part of the money was refunded, and to date, the remaining part has not been refunded (I am handing this over to my lawyers as I can't deal anymore!). I could write so much more about Tucker Gardner Cambridge. I do not know if the staff in other branches are any different, but I would advise anyone to stay away from Tucker Gardner Cambridge. In the 3 years I lived at the property, I had about 5 or 6 property managers; I think the rate of staff turn over speaks a lot about the management of the company.

This is by far the worst letting company I have ever encountered. They are rude and dismissive. Tucker Gardner is utterly incompetent and genuinely does not care about their tenants. They are only out for money and nothing more. I have been trying to have a working dish washer installed for over two years!!! Literally two years and they can not have this fixed or bother to work a resolution. To add insult to injury they have also raised my rent in clear violation of the letting agreement. Fixing issues for the tenants is a low priority. Illegally soliciting money is!!! Do not let anything that Tucker Gardner has control over. If you do, you will regret it.

Services : Letting( As a Tenant )Date: 18th Mar 2015
Several major problems with the property I rent with 2 others have taken months to resolve. My impression is that it's either an unwillingness to want to assist us, or incompetence; either way their inaction warrants compensation and is causing damage to the property.
One instance involved losing the use of an en suite shower in the master bedroom for 3 months (one contractor performing a quote rendered it unusable removing several large tiles checking for water damage) while the agency ostensibly worked with the landlord to get the work fixed (who they claimed was hard to get hold of, although managed to do it every time I called them and asked them about progress). The entire works in that case took over 6 months from the first action by the tenants to being complete. Works caused by years of them ignoring our pointing out signs of severe water damage, yet it wasn't until a plumber came to stop running taps that they finally said something to the right person to spur on an actual inspection (a warning to landlords here, too). The people at Tucker Gardner I've dealt with regarding our property appear to only do things when continually prompted, and in one case required me to call every second day for 2 weeks before something was fixed. We now, however, are in the situation where we have lost the privacy of our back yard due to a storm 3 months ago, and despite almost weekly calls about it - apparently that's not frequent enough to rate more attention from them. Will it be another 6 months before these people manage to arrange a contractor to come and fix it, in the meanwhile the half-detached fence may cause even more damage flapping about in the storms?
Other serious and recurring problems we are informing them about at every opportunity (such as inspections, I finally _lead_ the person from the agency to the site of a continually overflowing drain causing water damage in the cupboards in the kitchen and yet nothing has been done) are routinely ignored.
After being nice for too long I feel only a formal complaint to the ombudsman about their service in our particular case is the only way to either make them change their game.
I can't recommend Tucker Gardner to anyone; tenant or landlord.

I've heard some horror stories over the years from friends about various letting agents but my experience with Tucker Gardner this winter has been fantastic. We had an issue with the boiler and the same day we raised the issue they got the engineers out who identified the problem straight away. Knowing what needed to be done we were worried we'd be left in the lurch but they kept us in the loop the whole time, answered any questions and queries quickly, they got fan heaters out to us for the time we'd be without a boiler and got everything fixed up within the week. Very happy.
