Shaws Of Lowestoft Reviews (31)

Have you used this agent?

E Cheche

Rude and arrogant estate agent who needs to learn about law and how to talk to customers. The previous review was 1 star only as well, but somehow when it was posted it showed 5 stars!!!!! Is this a tactic to avoid the constant 1 star reviews?... Read more

The estate agent in Lowestoft is rude and has very poor inerpersonal and communication skills. He does not know the law regarding to the right to rent in UK and consequently discriminate against people who want to rent. He did not want to listen to the arguments brought by me based on UK legislation and hanged up on me. I would like to know where can i officially complain about discrimination in dealings with requests for rent.... Read more

Just dreadful! Quite shocking, rude, abrupt and interestingly, in the responses to negative feedback, the same copy and pasted reply from the owner that emphasises denying anything to do with the person leaving negative feedback. This tells you all you need to know about this company. They do not work with feedback but deny any knowledge of it...even with the negative feedback being caused by the same issue. Is this who you want selling your house? Or to rent a property from? When something goes wrong do you want to be working with somebody who denies anything has gone wrong or with someone who works to fix it? I would say avoid this company like the plague. Also, is profiling. Not basing letting decisions on Credit record, income or references alone but is factoring in appearance. By definition profiling...in 2023. Equalities act 2010. Look it up....

Completely shocked by the way I was spoken to by one if Shaw's representative. Words can not express the unprofessional manner in which it happened. The representative was rude, curt, and made me and my daughter feel extremely upset. I would avoid this agency at all costs. What an extremely rude man there are no reasons that anyone should be spoken to like that. Disgusting.... Read more

I am still in shock by my experience from Shaws. One month ago I called in regards to 2 houses for rent. I left a message and email but got no response. Yesterday 2 more houses came on the market for rent through Shaws. I called this morning and it went to answer phone. In the mean time a family member called and got a response from Douglas- his response was rude and very aggressive. I had no idea my family member had managed to get through and I called. He was absolutely awful towards me, rude, aggressive and told me he would get me done for harassment? Am I wrong in thinking a good professional estate agent would normally call back or email in response!? Am I wrong for trying to follow up with no response from you!? I do not understand how you are still open and I feel sorry for any woman that has to have any contact with you. Please do not use!!!... Read more

I will admit this bad experience took place nearly 10 years ago, however a friend of mine has recently had a bad experience here, and looking at the reviews it seems nothing has changed, at this god awful estate agents. I dealt with a man named Douglas, very rude, intimidating, and condescending. No interpersonal skills whatsoever. He seems to have a very big dislike for the average man/woman, he will speak down and look down at you, and take delight in reeling off reasons as to why you are not good enough for a property. He took over £200 in fees from us and left us hanging high and dry. This man will only entertain you if you’re a rich, middle aged, white person. Do yourself a favour, and use one of the many other estate agents available in the area, and avoid Shaws like the Black Death.... Read more

When recently looking for a new property for our family, we contacted various Agents having seen houses on Right Move (Or as I like to call it the adults version of the Argos Catalogue) however when viewing long properties we found the rooms smaller than described or photographed. However with Douglas and Shaws the level of service, and description of the property to what it's was actually like was Amazing - 5 stars. When it said 4 bedrooms there where 4 decent size bedrooms. Paperwork was simple and easy, fees fair and reasonable compared to some others out there!!, Communication was quick, reactive and plentiful. Dogulas was happy to answer any questions that we had. If only they could of helped with the actual moving part haha, would recommend / definitely recommend to anyone and everyone.... Read more

I called the letting agents to ask about a property, I explained that I live 120 miles away and that I would like a family member to view the property, I was told by a very rude agent that that would not be possible and he used the terminology I will be honest with you "you will be wasting my time" wè have many people interested and didn't want to wait for me, I understand that that might be the case and I don't have a problem with honesty but I do however have a problem with rudeness, and in my terminology "I won't be wasting my time using Shaws again"...
