Lock And Key Estate Agents

We were very impressed with Lock & Key from start to finish. Nigel's sales video was excellent and Julie showed great perseverance and enthusiasm during a large number of viewings on the house. They offered sound guidance at key times and the negotiation and liaison was conducted very professionally.

I was truly impressed with Lock & Key, they did exactly what I asked of them, and nothing was too much trouble. Nigel understood the need for speed, and found buyers so quickly, within days. Julie was great, keeping the communication going in all directions, keeping everyone on board and took meter readings for me., which helped enormously. A huge thank you to them for making a difficult situation so much easier.

Simply superb service from Nigel and the team. Within the space of a week of marketing our property, they had organised multiple viewings and presented numerous offers to us - all exceeding our expectations. We loved the way Nigel created a video tour of our house, and the support provided to us by Julie and Alicia was incredibly reassuring. The service hasn't stopped just because we have sold our house, Nigel and the team are working tirelessly to help us find our new home. We can't thank them enough for all of their help and support.

Nigel is a lovely chap who 'knows his onions' - the video he produced was not full of jargon and his passion came through via the enthusiastic narration. His pricing advice was also spot on and we secured a full asking price offer within 24hrs of going live on the web - what more can you ask really? We are very pleased with our experience, which has made other agents we have used previously now appear lacklustre and would happily recommend L&K to any prospective vendor.

Mrs Holmes said about Lock And Key Estate Agents

I instructed Lock & Key after a disappointing start in selling my house through another agent. From the get-go Nigel was exceedingly helpful, advisory and positive about selling my house and I did not hesitate in signing a contract with Lock & Key. Things moved swiftly from that point, my house was online within 24 hours and I had viewings within days. Feedback and logical advice were on tap, however the thing that makes this company different is their pro-activeness in selling houses. Nigel and his team work extremely hard to ensure a sale, thinking ahead, calling prospects, caring about their clients and following up on viewings in a timely way, and isn't that we all want when we appoint an Estate Agent? But beyond the functional stuff, I can honestly say I've received a 1-1 customer service that has beaten everyone else, and this is my 20th move! Thanks guys, you really do care, it makes a big difference. I highly recommend using Lock & Key.

Mark said about Lock And Key Estate Agents

I can't say that I would recommend this agent, my first issue came when I was viewing, I looked at 2 properties in the morning and that afternoon called to make an offer to be told that the property had been sold that I wanted to offer on, before looking to get any feedback from myself or seeing if I would like to offer more.

I did agree on a different property, and on a second viewing arranged, the viewing lady did not turn up, after 15 minutes of waiting outside I called the office where she answered and told me she thought the viewing was at 10:30am not 10am, after checking the diary she confirmed it was in there for 10am.

Between making the offer and completion I was not contacted or updated once on the progress

On the day of completion they left me a message to state I could collect the keys and to call to when I would be over, I called back an hour later and there was no answer, I drove over from Swindon to get to the office and find the sign saying Open, the A boards outside, the lights on but the door locked, I stood outside for an hour waiting, after an hour (I know this as I had to get a new parking ticket) they came back telling me that they had 2 staff off sick and they were all out doing viewing, this I understand, what annoyed me was no message on the door stating when they would be shut or a phone message telling me not to come between certain times.

One positive was that when I got to the property and found it still to be full of furniture that they did get hold of the vendor and solicitors stating that it was not acceptable, and gave me the contact details of the vendor from which I have been able to arrange getting some money towards clearing the property.

Overall my feeling are that it was not a great experience

Your advice was invaluable and the team were excellent at keeping me informed of any feedback and viewing requests. I also really appreciated Mandy's help with the viewings, she made both the viewers and ourselves feel relaxed and able to enjoy the interest in our property rather than worry about the process. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone.

Many thanks

I had an absolutely awful experience with this estate agency firm from start to finish.

*The property 'expert' was half an hour late arriving for my valuation. He then spoke at me for half an hour telling me his company was the better choice and they done 'far more' than the other agents in the town to get me moving. I very naively went on the market with this company without doing any research on the other companies in the town.

I had to chase Lock & Key after 3 weeks having heard nothing from them. I got through to a young lady who explained the market was very slow and that I should reduce my price. I found this an astonishing first conversation with someone who had not even seen my property. I refused her 'suggestion' and another two weeks went by before I finally got a phone call for two viewings. Fantastic. The staff were however too 'busy' to accompany the viewings and would I mind showing the viewers around. Reluctantly I said yes (I'm no spring chicken). The first viewer didn't turn up and the second viewer told me that this was not what he was looking for but Lock & Key told him to look around anyway. What a waste of my time.

After three months on the market with no more viewings (just the one) I ended my contract. I went on the market with another agent in the town and had an offer on my property within two weeks.

I had a dreadful experience and shall not ever use them to buy or sell due to their complete incompetence.

We were rented a property that had serious underlying damp problems, shower leakage problems and a blockage to the drains that was placed on us to get sorted. The service was slow, unprofessional and very poor with a highly deceptive level of lies. On checking out we were slapped with a bill of nearly 1200 pounds for items that were not even notified on the inventory, cleaning bills and alleged damages to the property. We have resolved to take the matter to court as we believe such rogues should not be allowed to get away with bullying of this sort.
I would recommend that you keep clear of this firm.
If anyone else has had this same issue please note I am open to get more stories in order to expose the shambles.
