Avoid Scargill Mann at all costs!.... They have young inexperienced office staff who have no real knowledge of the property market and or the ins and outs of sales and procedures etc. Can be difficult to get through to anyone on the phones and twice my messages were not picked up. I even spent a whole day trying to get through/get a call back. When 4.30pm arrived I resorted to going into the office in person, no apology whatsoever! I was told the exact amount of money in my buyers mothers bank account! (Which was of course none of my business!) I was on three separate occasions given false or wrong information regarding my sale. My buyer was equally unimpressed with them. I genuinely feel they acted as a hinderence rather than a help throughout the process. I would NEVER use this company again nor would I recommend them. Find an agent who have 'proper' professionally trained staff who will assist you through your sale. Don't be drawn in by the chap who does the valuations....you will never hear from him again after you have signed the contract!

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

I think they should be advising landlords that no allowing tenants with fortnightly weekend visits is discrimination and completely unprofessional. Secondly, they did not call me back to tell me that I had been declined and I was about to set off on a 5 hour journey for the viewing. Once... Read Full Review

Scargill Mann & Co should be avoided at all costs. I let them manage my rental property. They never dealt with any of my tenants problems. They were shockingly bad at communicating with both the tenants and myself. A complete waste of a monthly fee.... Read Full Review

I didn't think estate agents were allowed to photoshop photos...I think that's illegal isn't it? Anyway, we were looking for a house with open fires (I have wanted them since I was a girl) and viewed a house with loads of fireplaces. The photos showed them working with roaring fires...

The Derby branch very rarely answer the phone. I have called on numerous occasions over the past month and they answer around 1 in 10 calls. In addition, when I put an offer in for a property they did not call me to tell me it had been rejected. I only found out because I called them for an update! ... Read Full Review

They treat their tenants like they are something that have just scraped off of the bottom of their shoes. Absolutely shocking the way they bully their tenants. We ended up having to change the locks to stop them coming in as and when they wanted. When they do carry out repairs, they are done by cut ... Read Full Review
Bad. They will try to change you when your contract ends to renew it. Do not pay, contracts go onto a periodic contract for free by law!

Myself and my partner rented a property through the Agent Scargill Mann and co' I wish to highlight the poor service we have experience in particular, when we vacated the property. The agent conducted a final inspection as per our agreement, which I attended. We were verbally told that the... Read Full Review

Incredibly unprofessional. We had booked through Scargill & Mann to view 3 properties in Derby. Not one thing went smoothly during this viewing. So much so that we didn't even view any of the properties. The first two properties were apartments, both in the same block. So we arrived bang on ... Read Full Review

Please avoid this letting agent. Prior to moving out the agent showed two prospective tenants around the flat. On the first occasion I had been away from the flat for a week and returned to find the flat unlocked. It had therefore been left unlocked for a whole week. I complained and asked to...

Terrible. Repairs were either not done at all (leaking roof for two whole years) or done very shoddily and reluctantly. Despite inspecting my property every couple of months and finding no problems, indeed complimenting me on the excellent state I kept the house in, they withheld the entire deposit ...

If the agent had repaid me for being a good tenant by a) doing repairs when necessary and to a good standard b) repaid a fair proportion of the deposit I would feel like I had been treated fairly.

The agent took over my property from the previous letting company. The service was awful, maintenance either never happened or took months. We had leaking windows and damp, and it took a month to have our heating system replaced after it broke down eight times. They constantly try to cut corners... Read Full Review
Provide basic service, like answering client emails and taking good care of your properties.

I am totally disappointed with this letting agent. All of what they are looking for is taking money with extremely poor service. The communication was always terrible and to get to the person you need to speak with you have to put some time. After complete year of tenancy, they also refused to... Read Full Review
