Poor customer service.They are losing potential customers as they value their time over that of their clients.
My mum and dad travelled up North to view houses to buy for 2 days in the area. They booked a viewing with Kay Collins for a house in Parsonage Brow UpHolland they were very keen to see. Due to KC's unusual 'ring and confirm policy' that we were not aware of, there was noone there to meet us at the agreed time. They said my dad had been rung 4 times an hour prior to the appointment to confirm viewing but the calls had not come through to his mobile even though he had it on him the whole time. Only evidence they rang was one answerphone message sent 30 minutes earlier while we were viewing another property. Have dealt with numerous other agents and none of them operate this confirm policy! Also, no willingness to rearrange or offer another appointment on the day. Disappointed and very upset for my mum and dad. I never leave negative reviews as I like to give people the benefit of the doubt but as a business owner myself I would never devalue customers this casually.... Read more

Kay Collins have been amazing through the whole process. The communication has been outstanding and the lady’s in the office are so lovely and friendly. Even though my house purchase went a lot longer than expected they remained patient and polite throughout and I couldn’t be more grateful for my experience with them. High recommend, thanks again ! ????????... Read more

I am the director of GLY UK Immigration Support Services Co. Ltd. We serve our HK clients by sourcing ideal rental homes for them before they relocate here. Over the years of our operation, we learned to value true professionals in the lettings agencies, who are, like Coral Lily and Jasmine Aindow of KAY COLLINS, very helpful and responsive to answer questions and resolve issues we encountered during our course of renting properties on behalf of our clients.
I am always pleased to recognize true professionals who demonstrates good customer service and commitment to her work. My HK clients and I are grateful for KAY COLLINS and its valuable staff!

Thoroughly professional and efficient, Coral and staff at Kay Collins were a pleasure to deal with. Nothing was too much trouble, and I was informed of the progress of the sale of the property on a very regular basis. At no time did I have to “chase” Coral for an update, I was kept informed regularly. I cannot recommend Kay and her team highly enough. 5 Stars.... Read more

DEFINITELY DID NOT CALL AND IF YOU CHECK OTHER REVIEWS YOU CAN SEE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME POOR PRACTICE. I MUST ALSO MENTION THIS WAS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED TO US WITH THIS COMPANY HENCE THE EFFORT TO SEND A REVIEW. ONCE CAN BE PUT DOWN AS A MISTAKE BUT TWICE IS POOR PRACTICE. Very unprofessional and will waste your time. I booked a viewing and was left waiting for half an hour. After finally getting through I was told they had sold the house. A courtesy call would have been nice. Time wasters... Read more

Terrible. Book a slot for a viewing to buy a house, turn up early, yet no one turns up. Phone to question how long someone will be, and they say unfortunately we had an offer accepted this morning, we did try to phone twice. Waste of our time, the second time it's happened.
Reply, you claim to have phoned me twice yet never left any voice mail.
Unfortunately you were the "no shows"... Read more

I’ve been a landlord for 40 years and worked with a lot of property management agents. The very best is Kay Collins Lettings & Management!
KCL has managed properties for me for 20yrs so I speak with significant experience of their business as it’s developed over that time.
There are many difficult situations to deal with and it’s how they deal with property management, rent collections, property re-lets and repairs that makes the difference between KCL and other agents.
**** Good tenants looking for a property, go to KCL!
**** Good landlords seeking a caring, professional and effective manager, go to KCL!
Professional & hardworking, highly motivated staff. Family owned and run. They look after tenants extremely well and care deeply about people.... Read more

I would definitely recommend Kay Collins, their fantastic staff with a can-do attitude is very refreshing compared to some other estate agents. They are very attentive and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. A special shout out to Coral-Lily who certainly went above and beyond and is a very kind soul. 5* and will definitely be using again in the future.... Read more

Booked a viewing to view a property for the second time. I had put an offer in on this house so was very interested in purchasing. I had made an appointment for 16.45 on Friday the 20th of October, I have been left waiting in the cold and rain. It was also very embarrassing as I had organised to bring other members of my family. The sales office haven't answered the calls and after waiting for over half an hour with no contact I left. I am also considering retracting my offer as I have 0 faith in the company and there blatant lack of communication.... Read more

Avoid this letting agents at all cost. I went to them with several issues of a property I was renting. ( house was so damp it was falling apart) with their verbal permission I got professional flooring done of my own expense because the house they let me the carpet was full of cat wee and I had a young son. When it came to me finally moving out they disputed my full deposit saying that the walls were crumbling ( yes due to the damp ) and that they never agreed for me to do any work!! I hope you’re happy taking £450 off a hard working single mum. AVOID!!!... Read more

Absolutely dreadful, when we were forced to move out because our landlord had died, they didn't even care about helping us to find anywhere, they had houses coming up on their agency and we were not informed about one, when we called them enquiring about any property for letting with them, they had already fully booked veiwings and unbelievably asked if we'd like to be put on a call back contact list, I couldn't believe that we weren't already on the list of new property's, after receiving our notice we asked for their help considering we had two months to leave....
