Latest Reviews for Abacus Estates - Kensal Rise |
I first used Wenlock & Taylor in 2005 to do a survey of a flat I wanted to purchase in Kensal Rise, and Jeremy Taylor did a very professional and thorough job. A few years later, I asked Wenlock & Taylor to rent the very same flat which they did quickly and successfully. More recently I asked them to do a valuation of the flat (same one) and sell it for me; which again, they did very successfully and also got more than the asking price for it. Throughout my dealings with Wenlock & Taylor, and in particular Peter Woolner in Sales, I cannot praise their reliable, straight forward, no nonsense approach enough. I have dealt with some very unsavoury estate agents in the past and Wenlock & Taylor's client service has been exceptional and outstanding. Their original 70s decor (which is fashionable again!) tells you that they have been in business in the area for a very long time and more important, it is reflected in their excellent "traditional" values in doing sound business with all too rare, courteous good manners! With so many rogue independent estate agents and arrogant personnel in the "big" or new chains I cannot praise Wenlock & Taylor enough. Thank you for supporting me through a very difficult transition and going the extra mile (literally) to make things happen on time (Peter you know what I'm talking about!) It has been a pleasure to do business with you. Huge thanks for being magnificent from start to finish.

AVOID. I've rented with my fair share of bad London letting agencies and Abacus were by far the worst. They are completely incompetent, and are only helpful up until the point they've secured enormous sums of money from you. Once you've paid fees and initial rent, they aren't of any use. Some examples: - tried to delay our move-in date less than 24hrs in advance - we lived there for a year and they never managed to fix issues reported at move in (e.g. broken window) - told us bills were included and then, when we received outstanding payment requests from utilities companies several months into the tenancy, backtracked on this - refused to acknowledge that this was theirs & the landlord's responsibility given it was written in the contract we all signed and we eventually had to pay the remainder as British Gas were threatening to install a pay per use meter, including the debt accrued - repeatedly ignored emails and avoided our calls during the issue with the bills, but were miraculously no longer 'in a meeting' when we phoned using different names - tried to charge us for there being no working lighting in half the property when we moved out, even though this was a massive issue for us (obviously!) which we had reported to them and the landlord and the landlord was unable to fix until we moved out - incredibly poor record keeping and communication between employees, e.g. complained at check out that the dishwasher had 'changed brand', when we had reported it to them when it broke and it was them that replaced it - ended up charging us ridiculous amounts for tiny items when we moved out e.g. £15 for a missing plastic toilet brush. Were you really not going to replace that between tenancies? Revolting. Avoid, avoid, avoid. The stress and frustration isn't worth it, and is ultimately why we moved out of such a nice, well-located property. Like many others, I have given 1 star because it's not possible to give 0.

My experience with this estate agent has been disastrous. Our point of contact in the agency Alexandra is totally incompetent. 5 days before we were due to move in we received a very casual email telling us we would not be able to move in. Alexandra was not at all concerned that we were homeless and had no where to store our belongings. She was slow to get back to us with any information and was not at all transparent. When our new move in date had been established we were given the keys and turned up to an absolutely filthy house covered in builders dirt and mess from the previous tenants which Alexandra was fully aware of and yet failed to communicate this to us. It was down to other colleagues to sort the mess out and help us on a Saturday which Was stressful and unfair for them and a waste of time for us. There have been a few other issues with If you expect to be treated fairly avoid this estate agents at all costs because of they are totally incompetent.

Shelley Hampton at Abacus in West Hampstead was the hardest working, most committed negotiator I have ever dealt with. She clearly understood what I was looking for and was very proactive in providing options to view. I cannot commend her highly enough.
