Walton Robinson Estate Agents Reviews

This company is now called SEEKERS. I could write a book about their callous attitude to tenants. But this sums it up: they tried to withhold virtually the entire deposit at the end of the tenancy. They know the game and delayed at every stage to try and exceed the three month cut-off after which tenants cannot launch a dispute with the ombudsman. Luckily, one of us was savvy enough to deal with their cynical behaviour. Upshot: we got almost all the deposit back (it took 7 months and a lot of work)

**STUDENTS PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY** Seekers, formerly Walton Robinson, are a company not fit for purpose. The property rented was in a run down state on arrival and various requests for maintenance were not actioned. Upon the end of tenancy report, nearly all of the problems reported were unfairly attributed to our tenancy. That's not the end of it! Tenancy finished in September 2024 and now in January 2025, even though a figure has been agreed through the TDS service, we are still waiting for our deposit to be returned. Please avoid this company at all costs

Just to warn anyone thinking of or taking up a tenancy with Seekers (previously Walton Robinson). If you are determined to go ahead with it and I recommend you don’t at least ensure you take photos of everything when you move in to show the general condition from day 1. Hopefully this will help you avoid being ripped off on the deposit return as we were. The landlord over charged and also claimed for things that had been in a poor state for the entire tenancy. Basically the students house was in a sub standard condition at the beginning of the tenancy and the landlord saw the students deposit as a way of fixing issues at the end of their tenancy. Seekers supported the landlord in this and not the students who in the end lost their entire deposit and were even charged extra.

Professional scam artists. They tried to scam us out of our deposit.

Just to say what a fantastic company these guys are. As a landlord they provide a professional service and are extremely motivated to let properties. All my tenants are extremely happy with their service they receive. Highly recommend.

DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE A STUDENT!!!!!! we used Walton Robinson to rent our second year house. they were very uncooperative and lazy, not replying to emails etc. They gave us two WIFI boxes neither of which were registered to the property so didn't work. We asked for weeks for a breakdown of our bills package so the wifi could be taken off but we had no reply. Absolutely dreadful service especially for students who are renting for the first time. Avoid at all costs!!!
