Never ever use Romans. They are extremely unprofessional, highly costly, No respect for customer's time & very rude.

We arranged viewing of property at Lower Early, Reading on 3rd June for which we booked viewing a day earlier on 2nd June. For this viewing we travelled from Cambridgeshire to Lower Earley, Reading expecting to view property at 3:45 pm on 3rd June. And we received a call at 3:05 pm (damn 40 minutes before appointment) from Romans, Lower Earley that they are cancelling viewing appointment. They were very well aware about our travel from Cambridgeshire but I believe they don't value customer or their time/efforts at all.

We wasted our one complete day for which I have taken a day off from work, and our travel cost was wasted, along with all frustration and agony at the cost of staff at Romans who can not manage their appointment / calendar.

As well we wanted to book viewing for second property in same area, which we requested on 2nd June. Romans staff promised us that they will confirm viewing by late evening on 2nd June. They never provided any information about second appointment citing they can not reach tenant. We tried to chase them for second property on 3rd June morning, but they never let us know till very end if that was possible. It was extremely unprofessional behaviour.

We have decided not to use Romans ever ever ever again, I will strongly recommend same to everyone here.
