Enfields Lettings レビュー 

Saw a property with this letting agent, waited couple of days and as nobody was calling me after expressing my interest went to zoopla where found the property initially just to find that the rent has been increased from 750 to 775 which in per se is not an issue but I do find this a lack of professionalism as I nobody informed me about it or that if I offer more I would have a better chance.

Disappointed with the customer service I recently received. I viewed a property one afternoon, and made it clear to the person showing me round that I was interested. I asked if the person showing me round knew if it would be snapped up quickly, and the reply was that I had at least 24 hours to talk to my partner and pay the holding deposit. I was told I would be emailed over the offer pack later that day.
By the next morning, I had not received the offer pack, so called Enfields to check I had not missed anything. I was told that someone would call me back that day. I did not receive a call back, and then found out later that day the property had been let to someone else. I did not find out from Enfields, but from a property search site.
When my partner went in to the store to enquire about if the property was still available, they were told I had been emailed but had not responded. I checked all my emails (including junk and spam) and NEVER received an email from Enfields. Enfields never called me back to advise me the property had been let, and never contacted me at all regarding the offer information.
I am thoroughly disappointed as I made it very clear I loved the flat, and that I wanted it. Avoid at all costs.

Unsurprisingly, the majority of reviews you will read on this will be from landlords or sellers, but there's a lack of reviews from actual tenants about their experiences. So here's a first.

Enfields will be your best friend when you're dealing with the lettings department. However once you have signed the contract and moved in you will deal with the property management department, who are nothing but nightmares.

The communication from Enfields is beyond nonexistent, you will have better luck getting replies and answers from a brick wall. If you report faults don't expect them to be dealt with, even if it is a legal responsibility for the landlord to fix. Don't even expect a response at all, and if you do manage to get through to them over the phone instead, you will be fobbed off with rubbish excuses, or told it will be dealt with soon, but months will pass, and the same replies will be given.

I am an experienced renter, having lived in many properties in my lifetime so far around the country, majority with estate agencies, and Enfields is 100% one of the worst I have experienced.

It took 7 weeks to get my deposit back. Not because of any dispute or issue, but because I would not get a reply when asking where it was, "sorry we've been busy" would be the answer after chasing for 2 months. I spent more time chasing them about my property, then they spent actually managing it and doing their jobs.

Unfortunately it got to the point of threatening legal action before Enfields would even begin to reply. And only once I'd submitted the documentation to take the landlady to court, I finally got an answer.

So in summary, if you're looking for a rental property, save yourself the hassle, even if it's the house of your dreams, it is not worth it. I will forever avoid any property managed by this joke of an agency, and I would suggest anyone reading this to do the same. I don't often write reviews, but my experience was so bad, this was a necessity to warn others. Avoid. At all costs.

This is a honest and constructive review. I left a glowing 5 star review the last time in May 2022 for Enfields Shirley however it all kind of went downhill after that...

We accepted an offer on our house back in May (hence the glowing review) up until then with Enfields was good. No issues with the marketing of our home. But then it went awfully quiet once we were given date of when home survey was to be done. We had to continuously chase up ourselves after that, communication was poor. We did a reduction on the offer due to the findings on report and then expected things to move forward.

Then we were told the buyer was struggling to get a mortgage. We were in fact told there wasn't going to be a mortgage as buyer was buying the house for her son. Turns out she was looking to buy to let.
Had we known that it wasn't a cash buy or that she had no mortgage a.i.p in place we'd not have gone ahead. This took months. I had to email every week to hear yet more delays, it would have been courteous for Enfields to contact me first to keep me in the loop.
I did feel during this whole process Enfields was more geared towards the needs of the buyer than us the sellers.
We waited weeks for the buyer to find a mortgage (which is not Enfields fault) and then finally sold last week (nearly 5 months).

There was a lot of chasing, up to 3 weeks of no communication whatsoever and a lot of distress.
One of the staff members then left in Sales Progression, she was taken over by Louise who was really helpful and lovely to talk to. She started chasing for us. Will Piercy, Sales Director is a CREDIT to the team who moved things along for me when I complained, I have always found him to be reliable and understanding.

I just wish we had the full picture in the beginning of the process re the buyers intentions and wished communication to be stronger.

Other than that, Enfields remain to be more professional than other Estate Agents I've used and having recently had a reshuffle of staff I would be happy to use them again. Thank you.

Staff are very friendly, with quick responses to my emails. They we’re amazing and very supportive when sorting my move to a different property after the landlord pulled out 5 days before the move(no fault of Enfields). India answered every email/query quickly and very friendly …no matter how silly I thought the question might be, ever email got a response. They went above and beyond, even printed my parking permit for me on move in day and on my second day when I couldn’t work out the hot water they sent someone out to assist me within the hour. Best estate agents I’ve used so far!

Enfields has been my letting agent for over three years and have been very good. At the latter stages when the letting came to an end Emily Kelsey in property services was my link person who was very good indeed. She even tried to help me over her weekend off!

Many thanks Enfields and team

Awful communication and low standards for customer care.
Made an offer for a house a year ago and sellers finally pulled out after a year! Not their fault. But during this time the communication was really poor, not keeping us in the loop nor responding emails.
When the sellers pulled out they didn’t even ring us to inform us about what had happened. Just a line in an email letting us know that the sellers withdraw the property from the market.
Not very empathetic after the long, frustrating and expensive process that it was.
I now avoid to show interest in any property they manage. Really disappointing.

Unfortunately, Enfields Estate Agents took over from another management company managing my tenancy.

The staff are non responsive despite continuous attempts to communicate when a repair is required.
Had no issue with the same landlord previously.

No transparency at all in timelines.

I had to contact my Council for legal help to finally get a response.

If you are a prospective tenant - avoid !

I have contacted them regarding one property, to make some arrangements for viewing,twice was cancelled by them with excuses we don't have the keys for the property,lost my wages and travelled 2 hours one way,I am not local,that happened twice. Multiple times called them,very busy never want to talk to just excuses we will call you back that never happened. I am not sure why they are treating people like that,no need showing your bad attitude. Someone should take these complaints very seriously it affects on your agency. I am really interested to buy a property in Southampton, but I will never use this Agency again. I am not sure what is all about that property,like they don't want to give you a chance to see the house, and give an offer,I am prepared to give much bigger offer I have told them by phone.They don't want to know about, just avoiding me,really concerning.This is very sad and awful experience,not sure how I deserve this.Thank you

We always receive a great service from Morgen who is very caring, responsible, patient, polite and professional in resolving our maintenance issues very promptly. Excellent communication and I can't fault her or Enfields so far.

The procedure was quite quick and easy, I was dealt by Sima. She was gentle and very friendly.

Awful company. No care for tentants at all. Landlords seem to take priority

Placed an offer after an open house viewing. 4 offers given in including ours. A lot of comms to chase ‘is this my limit..?’. Ran around providing ID check & proof of funds info etc...Offer declined. Told “if anything changes will of course be in touch”. Subsequently I saw it came on the market again (not contacted by agents). Agents already had viewings booked in. (Still no contact). I rang & resubmitted my offer. Ran around providing ID check & proof of funds info etc again. After upping my offer was accepted. 2 weeks later was contacted by agents “a larger bid was offered (£490,000) original list price £450,000 / £475,000. Agent calls “can I up my offer” ...reply “no”. Agent calls again / sellers sticking with you “ full steam ahead”.
Today @ 3.30pm - gazumped 😞. Lost money to solicitors etc...
Such a shame there is no integrity or moral compass. Just all about money.

The quality& efficiency of service I have received from Matthew and Joe (Mortgage Advisor) at Enfieds Shirley was amazing and impressive. They were very polite, calm, excellent communication, incredibly knowledgeable and resonsible. They guided and helped me step by step from beginning to end. Matthew did a great job to negotiate every party for my purchase completion on time.
Thank you very much and definitely recommend.

The customer service and communication is absolutely disgusting. 3 times we have been messed around!! took half day to view a property and i was called an hour before to cancel. Rebooked and left work early, got there only to be told it was cancelled again.
Very unprofessional and complete time wasters. Would not recommend at all!
They don’t even deserve 1 star

Didn’t have a great experience with Enfields. The estate agent who took us around to view that flat was not helpful at all and didn’t ‘sell’ the property. He came off very miserable and seemed like he didn’t want to be there. He also mentioned there wasn’t much interest in the property. We put in an offer on Tuesday to be submitted to the landlord and was told we should hear by Friday. Friday came around and the flat was sold without telling us. I believe this was a very poor way of dealing with us as we were not kept in the loop about our sale nor were we told that anyone else has shown interest on the property. Poor work ethic and not organised. My partner and I were very disappointed as we really liked the apartment and were both gutted that we didn’t get a chance nor was we kept in the loop.

We needed to sell our family home in Shirley and obtained three estate agent quotations and decided to go with Enfields as they offered the best competitive fee for selling the property.
We initially dealt with Will ( the manager) who was very knowledgeable about the local area, knew exactly where the property was and its aspect.
They suggested an open day and took full control on the day, they put forward the best 4 offers and we accepted one.
From then, we dealt with Matthew through to completion, he was very polite, professional and kept me informed all the way through the process, I would highly recommend this company if you have property to sell in this area

After 6 months in an apartment block that was continually broken into, and nothing was done to secure the main entrance (drug paraphernalia and theft on a weekly basis) combined with an absolute shambles of a Lettings office, with terrible communication and devious delaying tactics for all complaints.
Final nail in the coffin they wouldn't return the deposit even though we gave much notice (4 phone calls to confirm dates and settlement requirements), and vacated the flat in perfect condition 14 days prior to final date, allowing the flat to be marketed.
WHITE COLLAR CRIME AT IT'S FINEST...BEWARE.

We have had great service from Georgia and Sam who were very patient and professional and helped us through a difficult situation guiding us to a successful resolution.
