Brown & Merry - Hemel Hempstead

We always use Brown and Merry for pretty much everything as we are Landlords. We also use their Mortgage services. They are so wonderfully helpful and Tom in particular at the Hemel Hempstead branch has really gone above and beyond on the help front when we needed to change a Tenant. He really did help with everything from organising the clearing of the property, finding a new Tenant, sorting out the gas cert, all sorts. They are very efficient and know what they're doing. It really helped with us being out of the country at the moment. Couldn't have done it without Tom's help.

Sadly we didn't have such a great experience with the agent. When we invited James to value our property, we had been assured there were plenty of applicants looking for houses in our area and at the price he had valued the house. Less than a month later we instructed Brown and Merry to market our house. On the day of take on I double checked the marketing price and explained that we were sure to make some money on the sale so if he thought the price might be a bit on the high side he had the freedom to suggest a lower price but only if he felt he couldn't sell at his suggested valuation. He told us again they had plenty of applicants and the house looked great so he was very confident. 2 weeks later and we didn't get a single viewing. We had zero feedback from the agent. I had to do the chasing. I had the right to use the cooling off period but I didn't like the idea of dis-instucting so we discussed bringing in a 2nd agent. 4 weeks into marketing and we still had no viewings and again no feedback. Sadly we came to the decision to let the other agent become the sole agent and asked Brown and Merry to remove our house from their website. We have dropped the value by £20k and have started to get people through the door. Trust is a big part of this industry and when you lose it, you're left with the same feeling many others have about estate agents. As a person who works in the industry, this frustrates me as I know it's not the same with all agents. The feeling with this agent is they think a take on is a success story because they get another house on their website and a board up in the street, whereas I believe the success is in the sale because surely this is when you can pay your staff for a job well done and to cover your overheads.

Clements Estate Agents - Hemel Hempstead
215 London Road, Apsley, HP1 1EZ

We had moved from one estate agent to Clements as they house we wanted was being sold through them. What we found was they were so proactive and communicated well to us. They also showed alot of empathy when they couldn't get THAT buyer. Lee, Harvey and Elesha also not forgetting Ben kept each other up to date with things so when you called you knew someone would pick up from where the last person left it.
They only negative thing was we didn't manage to buy through them as we found what we wanted elsewhere which was a shame. Would highly recommend the Clements Team @ Hemel, top job and thank you......

Fantastic experience with the agent Ella, very accommodating, experienced, very friendly and helpful. She had listened and acted professionally with our needs and wants for renting a property. We needed a quick turn around on a place to live otherwise we would be in a situation, she manged to help us out big time finding us a place within the day and got us moved in within 4 days even with the challenge of a bank holiday weekend, Ella really went above and beyond for us, from once being a store manager I recognise service and how customers should be treated and dealt with and I can tell that Ella really puts the customer first even if it puts her out from working longer than she should!, she deserves recognition, thank you Ella !!!

Sure Sales and Lettings (Hemel Hempstead) must be the worst estate agents on the market They never call you back, even when you have put an offer in on a property. Therefore, you can only assume that it has been rejected, which obviously prevents any further negotiations. If you are looking to sell your property I would stay clear of them.

Contacted them to let out my house. They were the company which offered the best service at the time. When I engaged them, I stated that I required a quick turnaround as I would have to start paying council tax in a month. Now I didn't expect it to be quick due to the time of year but I was assured that the house would be let out very quickly and told that it was certain it would be let by the date stated. In two months I had two viewings. I was informed of the appointment by text so was aware. I would then hear nothing about what had happened. After The second appointment, I called up to get feedback, speaking to one of the staff there who told me there was news on the appointment. It took me a week to get an answer, with promises of calls back broken repeatedly. People also told me that hey would get the person to call back, then when chased I would be reinforced that the person actually wasn't in the office working that day. Messages passed to the manager when I explained I had been waiting for several days were also ignored. When I eventually spoke to the lettings agent he confirmed without my asking that he had received all the messages and notes. He didn't say anything else. The news on my letting was that it was declined due to the distance from the station. At this I wonder because it is five minutes from a train station, and ten to another so I have to question the knowledge of the area. Based on the service I told him that I would be engaging another company, based on their lack of customer service. All I received were the normal platitudes; which didn't negate the fact that a quick phone-call with an update would have avoided this. Whilst they might have reasonable rates their customer services are non-existent.

Squire Estates - Hemel Hempstead

Squires had found me tenants for many years so it was natural to me to have them sell the flat. The charges were fair and the service fine even during the lockdown.

Renting through Squires has been exceedingly stressful! Moving is hard and I want to warn any prospective customers of the service they can expect. I viewed a property through Squires who were very helpful in the lead up to the move. We had a young baby and our van was packed, we were to leave our old house the following morning. With 24 hours notice, we were told that the house 'wasn't ready' for another 3 days. WE WERE LEFT HOMELESS. We stayed at a friends with a full van for 4 days. Optimistically, I believed this was due to unforseeable problems. On arriving at the house, there was a hole in the living room ceiling, no kitchen floor, stained carpets & holes in the walls. I was devastated. We looked but nothing was available to rent, we had no choice but to move in. The landlord seemed pleasant, he explained that faulty repairs had caused all the damage. We soon discovered that Squires did not manage the property whilst our landlord claimed he was struggling to pay the mortgage and went AWOL. Having told the landlord that water was pouring from the living room ceiling he replied with a text message "Not on a Sunday!". Squires made it very clear they were not responsible and could not help. They are however, happy to advertise and take commission. We felt extremely vulnerable and let down. Surely there must be some assurances going through an agency... MANAGER, JEANETTE SQUIRE told us, "If you don't like it honey, you can can move out". We could not move again, we had neither the time off work nor the money. We decided to make the house habitable, cover holes, use rugs, repair walls etc. We heard nothing from the landlord in the following year (apart from him turning up before 8am to use our toilet which he blocked, then mumbled about coming back to fix it). We gave 4 weeks notice which officially should have been on our rent due date (which had been changed by the landlord with no notice). However, with ALL OF THE BREACHES of the contract they could not possibly justify enforcing this. Squires manager..."There's no point in bringing up the past it's irrelevant" and her favourite saying "If you don't like it, you should have moved out honey". Unbelievably, she reminded us that "I've bent over backwards to help you" and "You don't want to accuse me of anything as I am the only one I between you and your notice"... BLACKMAIL. An agent arranged to meet us at the house with the landlord the following day. He was shocked by the state of the house, very apologetic, and wanted to start repairs immediately for the new tenants. I refused, after a year of unfulfilled promises, his cowboy tradesmen were not coming in and out, taking down the ceiling and plastering over our furniture whilst we were still paying rent and living there. The landlord was very disgruntled and denied knowledge of the damage. We had kept e-mails and photos so he left. I had no trust in Squires or the landlord so requested no viewings in my absence. My husband and I both work, so we agreed for one agent who we trusted a little, to do viewings. This trust was destroyed when he passed the keys to his manger who carried out viewings unbeknown to us. I ensured the house was tidy, no washing out etc. There were no courtesy calls to say when viewings were cancelled or to say that it had been let! Squires could not see any problems. We did not have a good relationship and we did not want Jeanette Squires in our house when we were out. The previous tenants visited and told us of the appalling service they too had received. Squires say, "If the landlord promises to make adequate repairs there is nothing we can do". The landlord has repeatedly made the same promises and Squires are knowingly renting the house in its current condition to the next unsuspecting tenants. PLEASE BE WARNED! Squires are completely independent and unique with "If you don't like it honey, you can move out" attitude. Look into all the facts and know your rights!
