Absolute sharks on the letting side

Absolute sharks on the letting side. They really don't care about the tenants or the community around the property they let. They will think nothing about putting bad tenants in a property which impacts the rest of the street. The so called helpline you get passed over to the attitude is horrendous and so rude. This is a money grabbing company with no shame.

Terribly run company

I use them to manage my property for renting. Poor service. Tenants complain that it takes weeks to get a response. I don't receive communication, sometimes for 6 months on urgent matters. Neighbors file complaints about the property and Townends don't resolve issues which leaves everyone unhappy. Avoid this company.

E
Awful estate agents, steer well clear

Awful estate agents. Avoid at all costs. Lied from the start, were incompetent throughout and never got the job done. The initial sales guy was useless, and so were all his colleagues. Part way through they were taken over by another company and no-one told me. Despite me telling them to leave me alone I still get regular calls from them harassing me. Next time I will put a restraining order on the company

Absolute incompetents

Absolute incompetents, did not fix central heating for 1 month and they lied in the contract, and a long etc. Horrible experience, took the case to the Courts of Law and won it. They made absolute fools of themselves, embarrassing. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

VERY RUDE

I enquired about a flat online. I received a call back from an agent, who started asking personal details (my line of work, money, more money, money,money, how much I made a month, a year...) right away, and asked me how much I was looking to spend. When I told him my budget, he let out a little and extremely rude snort. Then he proceeded to tell me that wasn´t enough (although the original property was within the budget) and that property was not on the market anymore (even though it´s still available on their website). He sent me other 2 properties way above my budget. During the whole conversation he refused to reply to my questions and was pretty rude, to the point of laughing at how much money I made.

UNPROFFESIONAL

After calling several times and emailing to view a property in Chiswick, I finally got an appointment. Whilst en route to the property the agent calls and said they are unable to get keys!! Again I persevered and called the agents after the holiday period with a promise that someone would get back to me. Deadly silence. I managed again to make an appointment and AGAIN ten minutes before the appointment thay called to say they are unable to get into the property. Not only not being able to answer simple questions about square footage they secure the applicants but cannot gain access to the property they have advertised! Not only are the Chiswick Office unprofessional, but you also have the manager SAT at home apparently working. This is exactly why estate agents have no respect from the public. I feel sorry for the landlord who has to pay ridiculous fees for a sub-standard service. Chiswick office AVOID.

Lazy

You know how people who work in property sometimes get an unfair reputation? My past experiences with letting agents have generally been smooth-sailing but townends really taught me where the stereotype comes from. Even our landlord that we had to deal with personally hates them -because townends do a sh*te job of managing his property- and they can’t wait to be rid. If you don’t want anything done in a hurry and like being spoken to like you’re stupid, rent through townends. 1* out of five because there seems to be one gentleman who works at townends who takes his job seriously, I get the impression he’s the manager though and shouldn’t have hired any of the rest of the staff there.

At best they are disorganised

At best they are disorganised, at worst dishonest and misleading. Incorrect info about council tax banding given and they switched me to their preferred energy supplier presumably for commission, against my wished. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I started my Real Estate career at…

I started my Real Estate career at Townends and I couldn't of asked for a better agency to start at. They were very thorough in teaching me how everything works. Bethany and Carlo were especially good. They are a big family and are very knowledgeable in their area. I have never met nicer Directors of a company, they made sure I was fully supported throughout my stay at Townends which definitely left a lasting impression. There is loads of support, a great work-life balance, room for progression and a good commission structure. Great company and staff, highly recommend.
