As a company that stated they would take the stress out of letting my property they merely added to it significantly. Problems were unresolved, and paperwork was not completed satisfactorily leading to my losing a case for disputed deposit. The case is now with the Property Ombudsman.

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.

Squares did a great job when my wife and I decided to sell our property. The sale process included tricky negotiations with various parties, and Squares provided calm, clear, professional service throughout, and helped my wife and I to feel we were in safe hands. I would certainly use Squares... Read Full Review

Absolutely appalling. Once they have you signed to a contract they are not interested. If you actually manage to speak to someone, and not the answerphone, they fob you off with vague promises, but nothing ever gets sorted. The woman in the office (Leela) is rude and condesending. Do not use these... Read Full Review

Landlord of a portfolio of buy to let properties over the past 20 years. I selected Squares Estate Agents in late 2012 to fully manage a number of properties in Leighton Buzzard. The service I received was excellent - so much so I did not have to devote any time in the management and maintenance.... Read Full Review

Definitely the worst estate agents we ever had to deal with. Very poor customer service, all girls working in Leighton Buzzard office are rude, arrogant and incompetent.

Left me with smelly carpets - claimed they have been washed. Apartment had been smoked in, so a very horrible smell. 7 months later i've been advised they there are no keys for the meter cabinet and I need to ask a neighbour (even though someone submitted my meter readings just a few weeks ago)....

Its easier to explain how awful Squares are if you read the letter I sent their Director. I did hand deliver a letter initially to them and it was ignored. I explained how upset I was and could they please contact me to find a solution. They ignored it. Below is the letter to one of the... Read Full Review
Advertise letting dates correctly and inform people when they inquire. People give notice on current flats based on ability to move into a new one. Squares would have left us stranded for 3 days with a family of 2 boys. They should not be so rude and unhelpful for no reason. They could have been more accommodating but choose not to and surely the previous tenants would have had to clean the flat before they left so why were we being asked to do it?

Squares let my property recently. I hadn't used an agent for about 2 years, because I got fed up with the poor quality of tenant enquiries, but I was actually pleasantly surprised with Squares. They came within a cat's whisker of renting it to the first person to view it, but when they pulled out ... Read Full Review

Overall we have had a totally shocking experience with Squares Estate Agents using them as both letting agents and finally selling our property. As letting agents they do the bare minimum to get their 10% monthly fee. Rarely did they keep us informed of what was going on with the property to the ... Read Full Review

I am not naive enough to think that mistakes do not happen, the important thing is how they are rectified. Regular contact with us on this matter as reassurance would have made all the difference. There is however no excuse for the rude way in which my partner was spoken to by a female member of staff and it is also not acceptable to blatantly ignore e-mails and phone calls from customers.

I've met some slippery, shoddy estate and letting agents in my life, but these were beyond bad. Initial impressions seemed okay - they were very helpful in setting up a viewing and actually getting me a rental property that was suitable. However, from the point I paid my fees (damned expensive, I... Read Full Review

I have to say in all my years of renting property that Squares is positively the worst agent I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. The property on moving in was filthy and none of the work agreed had been completed and in fact took about 6 months to complete. One piece of work took a year! ... Read Full Review
