10 years pretty much no complaints but once leave this is their view and all in red ink I would also like to make it very clear, that even with the TDS dispute process invoked we will also be initiating civil action even it is just to protect future Landlords from such unreasonable behavior.

Walmsley lettings in reading are the most dishonest and misleading agent I have ever let with. Upon check in, we took many photos of the property, but were advised by our agent Lauren that we didn’t need to be so worried about being charged for every little thing, as walmsleys... Read Full Review

I have been with Walmsley for about 4/5 years now and would say they're the best agency I have rented with. Their service is always timely, whenever there are any maintenance issues, their response is fast and efficient usually sending out a contractor within 1-2 days. The quarterly visits...

As landlords, we feel completely let down by Walmsley. Firstly, they failed to investigate what proved to be illegal subletting by the tenants (as later confirmed by many official letters found at the house addressed to people not living there). We were alerted to the subletting by neighbours'... Read Full Review

I am incredibly unhappy with Walmsley. We were sharing a house with a mentally unstable man who started agressively shouting at 2 am. Our guess is that he was autistic. Walmsley ignored the problem and waited for us to forget about it. I had to call the police because I feared for my life. Walmsley ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

If they had been clear that I would be staying outside of the campus (about 30 min walk from my workplace -they assured me it would be a 5 min walk) or if they had been transparent about the time I had to leave the property and not ignored me I wouldn\'t be so pissed. I had to pay extra not to sleep on the street or in the airport...after I had been very clear about my flight date and done everything with half a year in advance....that doesn\'t seem normal in an agency that \"works harder for you\".

A week had lapsed after signing the contract and only two days before the move, Walmsley changed their mind about the agreement saying that the potential tenant, who had just come out of hospital, was not a suitable source of rental income. They could have decided this on the day that they met her... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

Walmsley could have taken the time to discuss the issue further; we offered a 6-month upfront rental payment which was not communicated to the land-lord. For surety it is stipulated that the tenant should earn 2.5 times the amount of rent per annum, the tenant was fully covered by her own salary and on top of this her children would also sign as guarantor. Walmsley staff could process a little faster so that their tenants could know in advance whether they will be moving or not.
