I am writing a long review so that everyone get a full picture.
Me and my wife moved to uk from bangladesh on march 23. Professionally we both are doctors. My wife got a job in hereford county hospital so we moved to hereford.
Initially we had to stay in an accomodation because we couldn't rent any house without viewing. Being a resident in a 3rd world country little did we know about the uk system. Within a few weeks we got to know that we cant stay in that accomodation for long and we had to vacant the room. So we started searching to rent a property here.
The real pain started then. I have to be honest here. While asking for viewing any property we felt like we r not welcome here and we r a pair of vigilant who fled from a jail. Everyone asking so many questions and at the end our request rejected as we didn't have any tenancy certificate or reference for minimum 1 year despite my wife working in NHS as a doctor. It got us worried and we felt like we made a crime coming here. As member of International medical graduates we also learned so many doctors having problems with their landlords which got us more worried.
Still we kept searching for properties. One property we both liked on the west street under the banner of Sunderland properties. The hospital solicitor told me to go to their office and try to communicate. So i went to their office and expressed my interest. They said respective agent will contact me. I never had any hope of getting this high end property still i tried
The next day I got and Email from Mr Phill from Sunderland hereford. Surprisingly after some conversation he gave us a viewing. I must say i was both amazed and hopeful again.
At first meet I realized that Mr phill is soo friendly and helpful. Its like the opposite picture we have been getting and hearing from our colleagues. So after fulfilling all the formalities the landlord accepted us for renting the property. It was the most perfect apartment we can have in hereford.
Since the begining Mr phill kept helping us in every possible way. He answered all my questions anytime i send him message or give him a call. He really changed my views in staying in uk and i realized that I am part of uk now. He never did any discrimination as we r not uk resident. We have been renting the house since may 23. Till now he helps us anytime we face any problem or ask any maintenance questions. Or freezer wasnt working this summer despite being a newly renovated question. The moment i informed Mr. Phill he booked a repair guy to look at it within 10 min. And within few days we got a new freezer replaced by them. I mean i never expected this kind of friendly service. I was scared that i might have to pay but surprisingly I didnt have to because the compressor failed. And Mr. Phil never asked us how did it happened or anything although we didn't do anything. Its like the best service we can
ever hope for.
I must say Mr Philip G Ashman from Sunderland is the best agent I might have met till now and I believe no one can surpass him in future because he is friendly, responsible and helpful in every possible way a tenant can for. To me he is the reason sundarland is getting 5star references from me.... Read more

We recently used Sunderlands in Hereford to sell and buy our home. From the outset, Alex and his team made the whole process seamless!

The whole prosses was made especially relaxing by the very good and fast communication for the Sunderland's team. Their online application was a dream (normally I dread these things, there is always something that trips the system) step by step walked through to get confirmed and offered the rental.
Wish I could use names here, but to say the least L & T both awesome and very professional.

I have been renting with Sunderlands for over 3 years now, I have always found them really helpful and supportive. Phil Ashman in particular is very quick to respond to any concerns and issues, and makes sure you are kept informed of anything ongoing. I would definitely recommend. Recently I have had to move (due to landlady selling) and Phil was SO helpful in helping to find an alternative place for me to live, and made a very stressful time a little easier. Thank You....

Sunderland is one of the best services I ever met. Mr. Phil Ashman provided a better service for me and my family. It was a great challenge to find out a place near to city as well as hospital. But after I contacted Sunderland and Phil it was very easy ad service provided within 5 days after viewing. Thank you very much Sunderland and Mr. Phil for your great service. Highly recommended Sunderland ???? ????... Read more

This review is being written on behalf of Mr and Mrs Gemmill.
We could not be happier with the help and support we’ve received from Lucas and the team over the past few days. Moving into the Hereford area from 3+ hours away was always going to be a challenge but Sunderlands made the process as smooth and stress free as could be.
We would highly recommend the team at Sunderlands for friendly, professional and personal service.... Read more

I would highly recommend Sunderlands in Hereford. An agent selling the property I was a tenant at made the effort to write a note to thank me for keeping the place clean and tidy for when he did the walk around for potential buyers. The acknowledgment of his appreciation was so lovely. Following that I had fantastic service from Lianne who has been on the end of the phone if needed and has been very efficient with emails and the proceedings for my next rental property. Extremely great service with Sunderlands!... Read more

After communicating with a member of the team after previously leaving a strongly worded one star review I still stand by most of what I had originally stated. I feel the service we received was not great. The members I spoke to were pleasant but there was certainly a delay in getting a call back/response.
As a local business I have been too hasty leaving a rather harsh review when I should have contacted them directly first to resolve.
That is all I have to say.... Read more

After 16 years of renting, I can honestly say this is the best letting agency I have ever dealt with. Phil found us a lovely flat very quickly, the moving in process went smoothly and any issues were dealt with quickly. (There was a blocked pipe on the roof causing water to enter our flat and within 15 minutes of reporting it he had a handyman around to fix it!) We also got our deposit back within 2 days of requesting it, which is a breath of fresh air considering how long I've had to wait with other agencies. Brilliant service!... Read more

If I could I'd give them 0 stars. My partner called up on Monday to arrange a viewing for a property only to be spoken to very rudely and tutted at down the phone by a woman. My partner then called back and spoken to a lovely gentleman who had no issues dealing with our request. Unfortunately the gentleman who was meant to meet us at the viewing did not turn up. He said he would call if he was going to be late and he did not do that either. It was fruitless trying to even call the office as it was gone 6 o'clock. I would recommend any other estate agents in Hereford apart from this one. Some of the worst customer experience I have seen.... Read more
