After having tried a number of independent and national estate agents we felt totally disillusioned by the promises made on the initial appointment that led to a complete lack of communication and any kind of productive relationship. That completely changed with Dan and the team at Gatekeeper. I have purchased and sold properties in Bristol, Taunton and Swindon and without doubt Gatekeeper are amazing. Superb communication and care and attention from beginning to end. The weekly email and phone calls after the sale was something new to me and made what everyone says is a stressful time, pretty much stress free, thanks Sam. This was all even more awesome as it happened during the Coronavirus pandemic. We 100% urge you to use Gatekeeper - you will be glad you did

First of all this is a general review of what we experienced with Gatekeeper agency I'm not making referrals to any agents as most of them are nice and friendly but they are not there to make you better they are there to make money from you.
1.Comunication with tenants it can be improved by providing them a phone number which is free to use and contact the estate agent
2.We didn't felt supported with agents smiling and temporarily emphasizing with us without taking real actions to show their support
3.There has been and end of tenancy fee taken from our deposit early than at the end of tenancy, without anyone notifying. We had to ask and find about it and the explanation was 'anyway that fee is taken from the deposit at the end of tenancy'.
4. We had 3 inspections over an year and a half without any issues at all but at the end of the contract we had money deducted from our deposit for silly reasons like grass has grown into the flowers, CO2 sensors not working or dirty oven.
5.All the reasons for deduction we have not been present when the inspection has been done, so we cannot verify anything as the agency didn't provide any photos with how the garden has been 'repaired' or how the oven is looking after being cleaned and where the new CO2 sensors has been installed and replaced. Not to mention that nothing was new in that house and they were expecting to be like new.
6.What I think is that they are applying this issues to many as possible tenants trying to deduct money from their deposit.
7. In the end doesn't matter how hard you are looking for the house or place you are renting from Gatekeeper there allways be issues raised at end of tenancy to deduct some money. This is all about really for them or Gatekeeper ''money''.
In the end I would like to mention that this is a honest review about what we experienced with this agency, I don't know if there are others better there.

Having tirelessly tried to contact the agent on my sons behalf I gave up.
They appear to be non responsive and not very customer focused.
I am glad we have chosen an alternative agent (Finders Keepers).

Connells Carterton were very helpful through what was a very stressful time. Ben Perrott went above and beyond to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We had each other on speed dial by the end of it! Thank you so much to the whole team!

Shouldn't even be one star. Absolutely shoddy agency. Poorly organised, poor communication. Had our property on sale for 9 months and they never even put a board up despite frequent requests from myself. Removed the property with them (as we lost a sale) and went with another agency - connells forgot to take it off rightmove for two months even though it was no longer for sale with them. Avoid using them. They have caused no end of stress and hard work.

For the past 4 years my friend and I have rented a 2 bedroom flat in Witney through Abbey Properties and we have been treated far better by them than any other estate agent in Oxfordshire. In that time there have been no rent increases or draconian administration charges for stupid things like re-newing the lease. Anyone looking to rent would be wise to bear this in mind because finding a decent estate agent like this is not easy. I really can not rate them highly enough. Thank you

I live in London now, and there has been several thousand pounds worth of work required at the property all organised by Abbey, and performed by local tradesmen they recommended. The tradesmen worked to a good price and professional standard.
Damian and Rebecca have been especially helpful and assisted with the sale of the property, in every way possible.
Well done! and thank you very much.
I can highly recommend them

Very happy with the service provided for my mother’s flat sale. Although under COVID conditions staff were always available to discuss problems and help with sale. After having bad experiences with other Witney based agents it was a pleasure to deal with Gary at the Witney branch who couldn’t of been more professional and helpful. I never thought I would ever be writing a positive review for an estate agent!

So disappointing - such bad service! Snap shot from the email to them...
At the outset we were underestimated as potential buyers of the property.
We now understand that just after we visited the property, the vendor removed the house from sale, having accepted an offer from other buyers. It was at that point that we were rushing to get our house on the market, as you well knew. Nobody from your organisation saw fit to give us that little gem of information; information that could have saved us £800 and the effort of getting our property in tip-top saleable state.
Edited - to add that I was contacted about this review, and wasn't left with any more respect than I had to start with. So the house was left on the market when an offer was accepted from client 1 pending them being able to proceed, but they were not open to any other viewings. The offer had gone in just before our second viewing, and also spending out on purple bricks (who were very good). Allegedly this was also a benefit to us, not sure how?
At NO time were we contacted to be given any update or information on the sale of the property. It was only when I called in when the house was finally posted as 'SSTC' that we found out where things were.
We were not taken seriously as purchasers, and were just the back up - and we lost our £800 that we didn't need to spend. If we had been made aware of the facts at the time of our second viewing we would have walked away.

Thomas Merrifield - Witney
52 MArket Square, Witney, Oxon, OX28 6AF
Customer reviews (1)

I met with a number of agents in Witney, and Thomas Merrifield gave the most realistic evaluation (evaluations from other agents were much higher, unrealistically so). My main contact, Philip, was professional and someone you could trust to negotiate on your behalf. Philip helpfully gave time to come to the house act as a witness to the signing of contract of sale (twice) as we couldn't get another witness due to Covid-19.
The only complaint I would have, and it is a small one, is that communication could be more regular; selling a home is stressful, and it often feels like nothing is happening, even when it is, so regular communication (even it if it is that there has been no progress) is important. You are often cut out of communications between agent and conveyancer. However, this seems to be the case with most agents. It would be useful if there was an account you could sign in to and check what has been happening.
But that is a minor quibble. I would certainly recommend using Thomas Merrifield in Witney.
