We wanted to personally thank Abbey for helping us buy our dream home! We particularly appreciated the straightforwardness and no games approach - it was very refreshing and made the whole process much more pleasurable and stress-free for us as first time home buyers. Thank you Abbey and the team at Ashtons for all your help!... Read more

So, I am a Tennent at a property Ashtons are selling. I overheard the Viewing guide tell the buyer in not so many words that the neighbour will be happy when I move out. His reply was that it was the buyer who said this, even though you can hear the viewing guide saying it. I complained to the Branch Manager Joe Wilkes, this is the reply I received. " I am sorry for any distress caused but as my mother used to say, ‘sticks and stones may break our bones but words can never hurt me.’ I hope that you are able to get over this quickly." If Mr. Wilkes watched or even listened to the news, he should realise that name calling does more than break bones.... Read more

I cannot fault Ashtons - from the moment that we decided to sell our house right through to exchange of contracts they have been superb. Joe was very professional and attentive, calling us regularly with updates on viewings and giving us advice and then Rebecca who really helped bring everything together by regularly chasing up the whole chain so that we could get to exchange. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to buy and sell in Harpenden.... Read more

Couldn't recommend highly enough, they are extremely professional and detail oriented. They were able to secure multiple offers on our property in a short period and help us decide the best buyer to accept. Their post sales team is also very helpful in getting the sale pushed along and keeping us up to date. Great job.... Read more

My experience with Ashtons was far from positive, and unless significant changes are made, I won't be using their services again. The agents I dealt with were unprofessional and disinterested during both the move-in and move-out processes. Even simple tasks, like getting my name correct in emails, proved to be a challenge. The move-in process was needlessly stressful. Communication during the application process was consistently poor, with long delays before receiving updates or actions from Ashtons. I often had to follow up via email. Documents were frequently not sent or sent to the wrong email, causing confusion and further delays. On move-in day, things didn't improve. Ashtons failed to provide the keypad combination for the front door when handing over the keys. The apartment was still being cleaned during the move-in, forcing the removals team to work around it. The check-in inventory was taken at the same time, rendering many photos useless as surfaces were covered in cleaning products. I never received a copy of this inventory. Communication issues extended to interactions between Ashtons and the landlord, leading to conflicting information on initial payments. This created a rocky start between myself and the landlord over 'missing' payments. The lack of communication persisted, resulting in my deposit not being properly protected during my tenancy. Ashtons showed a shocking level of disregard for this issue, placing full responsibility on the landlord and refusing to address it. I was stunned that a professional lettings company had no checks in place for the legal requirements of their landlords. As a tenant of Ashtons, it's unsettling to know that you're not guaranteed protection by them. When I raised the deposit issue with Ashtons, their stance was clear – they prioritize landlords over tenants. They downplayed the significance of the unprotected deposit and the landlord's threats of unlawful deductions. They continued working with the landlord despite this. Seeking advice from Ashtons proved futile; they discouraged pursuing legal action for compensation, falsely claiming tenants don't win against landlords. Their attempts to manipulate me into feeling wrong for challenging the landlord were particularly disheartening. The move-out process lacked proper communication from the team. However, I appreciated Ashtons' effort to minimize disruption during viewings for the next tenant by organizing them all on one day. Ashtons must reevaluate their approach to tenants and acknowledge the serious matters they need to take responsibility for. At the very least, improved communication is essential. Tenants should be kept informed about Ashtons' role in the tenancy, rather than having their name in all communications and contracts, only to disappear when issues arise.... Read more

Sandy Gorton handled the renting of the property and was superb from the word 'go'. He had people round, he chased up to see how interested they were and if they weren;t, why not. His communication with me was excellent. I was kept in the loop throughout the process and, quite honestly, he was like a Knight in shining armour. It did not take him long to find us a tenant and we are very grateful for his hard work, perseverance and charm.... Read more
