CONnells - the clue is in the name! There is a complete disparity between the service they claim to provide with the stark reality of what actually happens! I was promised my house would be managed locally in branch using contractors I trusted, that my wishes regarding my tenants would be taken on board and passed on, and that any issues would be dealt with promptly and efficiently by a named lettings manager as point of contact. In 10 months my house was passed through 3 branches, 4 lettings managers, no information was passed on either in house or to my tenants, essential repairs were not carried out within a reasonable time, charges which were not part of the contract were slipped in and communications were either ignored and calls not returned by staff who were complacent at best and downright rude at worst! The truth about Connells is that they're only interested in your cash. The moment you sign a contract is the point at which their interest ends! Use them at your peril....

Don't let or Buy the property in Alton Mews Aylesbury, HP19 8JZ.
Be careful if you're still going ahead with this property.
The property is poorly built and the painting and the electrical works are of very poor quality. I would have given 0 rating if ...

It was a great experience being shown around by staff Rawail in Aylesbury branch. He was professional, polite and knowledgeable of his job. His dedication and patience was excellent as he even showed as around for the second time when we requested. I was also ...

You do not deserve even 1 star Connells in Aylesbury! Stay away from this estate agency. Especially STAY AWAY from Adam Manning who is a senior lettings manager. He is BIG LIAR and he puts in people mouth things they never said. My husband did not ...

Hi Lina,
Thank you for your review, I'm sorry to read of your dis-satisfaction. As discussed previously, there were a couple of opportunities to disclose of the poor credit on your records before references started so we haven't done anything wrong and follow all procedures. ...

I rented through Connells for a number of years and sold my property through them with the tenant in situ. I was told it would make the whole process smoother.
Unfortunately, this was not the case. The last months rental money was held on a ...

I bought an investment property which the sales
team kept updated with through the process. As soon as we had exchanged, our property was advertised to let and a tenant was found within 48 hours by the Lettings team. Very responsive and quick to answer queries....

This agent is the worst, please avoid! They took weeks to send us our tenancy agreement, they blamed it on the Landlord then later blamed it on us the tenants.
They said certain requests we made would be addressed before moving in, which were not. ...

I had a very bad experience as a first-time buyer. They've agreed for my offer and I got valuation, mortgage approved by the bank. I was hoping to move into a new property in 2-3 weeks and they've now asked me to increase the price ...

Very unfortunate that their performance remains absolutely appalling, will not recommend for landlords. The management unit is the worst so you are better off without Connells. Their inventory reports do not reflect the conditions and all the damage to your property, at the end of ...

The only time we received any service was prior to signing the lease agreement, after that was finished it seems things took a turn.
Repairs took almost 2 months to even get looked at, changing the date that rental was due took another 2 months.
Phone calls ...

Unfortunately, my experience was a case of Connells (Aylesbury office) doing what they want rather than what their Customer wants.
My partner initially spoke on the phone to a sales agent who had agreed terms should we wish to continue. He arranged someone else to ...

If I'd have to choose between dealing with Connells again, or cutting my own eye out, I'd politely ask for a spoon.
Despite making it clear at the start that I definitely have to move until the end of August, the agent lied about the ...
