Very disappointed with their service. I telephoned the office to request a viewing of a sales property, and received huffs and puffs and no, we are too busy. After 2 minutes, I was lucky enough to be squeezed in. My viewing was hurried, and I was made to feel as much of an inconvenience on the viewing as I was requesting it. This has happened twice, and I now no longer will view properties with their agency, and instantly discount them when I see the advertisement is with Webbers. Having spoken to my parents who have been both landlords and tenants of Webbers, their comments were "as snotty to their landlords as they are to their tenants". Webbers even returned their tenants deposit in full despite the carpet being destroyed and needing to be fully replaced, and other damages caused throughout the property. Being in lettings myself, I'm saddened that Agents like Webbers give Estate Agents a bad name. I will not be viewing, purchasing, letting or renting through any Webbers branch.

Services : Letting( As a Tenant )Date: 8th Mar 2013
We rented this property for over 2 years with Webbers, we never had a problem with this estate agent until Miss Du Toit took charge of the Ilfracombe letting branch.
We have a disabled daughter which was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa (she's going blind...) last year. We asked Webbers to contact the landlord for permission to install a hand rail on the stairs as social services offered one because they thought it would help our daughter.
The landlord (Fiona Mathers) refused point blank. On the 17th of December 2012 we asked Miss Du Toit to ask the landlord to reconsider regarding the hand rail. The same evening we got a notice to quit hand delivered though our letterbox. Although the landlord did not need to offer a reason for the eviction notice (bearing in mind that we passed each and every quarterly inspection by Webbers), it seemed obvious to me that it had something to do with the hand rail. I then discovered that the landlord, by law, would not have been able to increase the rental fee for 2 years if she did agree to the hand rail modification suggested by the social services.
On the 17th of February 2013 we vacated the property. We deep cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom, shampooed the carpets, repainted the kitchen and generally left the property in very good condition.
In order to move out in time with the landlord deadline, we had to leave a couple of broken items outside the property for me to collect and take to the skip during the following week.
Webbers held our deposit of £795 in a scheme. At the time of leaving we owed £375 rent for February.
Miss Du Toit contacted us informing me that she had the broken items outside the property collected by tradesman on the 18th and she mentioned that we would be charged £60 for this (bearing in mind that the skip is 5 miles away from the property).
She also mentioned that there were a couple of scuff marks in the dining room where a picture was hanging and scuffs also on 2 radiators where a clothes hanger was used to live.
We offered to go back to the property and fix these small markings but the landlord (Fiona Mathers) refused us permission to do so.
We then received an email from Miss Du Toit (outside the 2 weeks limit they had for returning our deposit) with the following costs quoted:
£375 rent arreas (not disputed by us) £100 + Vat for retouching 2 radiators £150 for repainting the scuff marks on the wall and filling 2/3 tiny holes in the walls. £60 for unnecessary rubbish removal
This would mean we would only get £90 back from our deposit. We told miss Du Toit that we would dispute that, at which point she said that if that was the case, she would apply a admin charge to the amount owed, meaning we would get nothing unless we agreed to their quotes, which in my view amounts to blackmail....
I also would like to mention that I have taken photographic evidence of how we left the property should anyone want to see these pictures.
All in all, I RECOMMEND ANY PROSPECTIVE TENANT TO STAY WELL AWAY FROM WEBBERS ILFRACOMBE, MISS DU TOIT AND THE LANDLORD FIONA MATHERS.
I would also like to point out, that the rest of the Webbers team have always been polite and reasonable to us.

The help and assistance we received from this agent was 1st class and would not hesitate to recomend them. As we were moving from another area( and it was the first move we've made in 30years) we were delighted by the service given.They kept in touch with us constantly and arranged,on our behalf, for local builders to visit the property to give estimates for work that needed carrying out so that everything went along smoothly. We can't praise Roz,who worked most closely with us, and Lee for helping us to find and purchase the retirement property of our dreams.To be fair to everyone that we spoke to in the office on numerous phone calls they were always very polite and helpful.

Having decided to buy in an area I was not that fimiliar with Roz from Webbers kindly recommended a cross section properties by type and area. She then schedule the viewings so that we were able to see about 7 properties in one afternoon. I didn't feel pressured or hurried at any of the viewings. I was lucky enough to find something suitable from the initial selection but I felt that even if this hadn't been the case Roz would have been happy to continue showing me places until I did eventually find something.
