CONNELLS ABINGDON Worst estates agency ever and poorly behaved managing. DO NOT TRUST, either for selling or buying a property. I have experienced the worst encounter with the senior branch manager Miss C-R White. For the past 6 weeks, I have started the process of buying a 1bed property in Reade Avenue, Abingdon. The objective of this investment was for my son to live while studying at University in Oxford. White has took over the administration of the sale from a young employee who has since left or made redundant from her job. White has done nothing than misleading me or the vendor as she refused several times to transfer my messages to the seller/owner of the property, those messages were related to negotiation. Which lead me to offer full asking price but later on I found out through valuation than the property is worth far less. So I went back to her as she is supposed to be the one to mediate between me and the seller. She simply REFUSED to go back to the seller with my new offer which was reflecting the valuation report. Outrageous!!! Beware homeowners and investors, her favourite word is “confused”, a tactic to misleading. So miss «I am confused » has crashed the sale, less than 24hr after the seller agreed to a £5000 discount. Yes, you read it well. All because of a misplaced ego. Miss White this is your role, to deal with people in a kindly manner, specially people that's paying you commission to deal with their property. This was the most appealing behaviour and poorly professionalism, dishonest I have ever experienced in the world of buying and selling property. What a disgrace and a dishonour to your own title, senior branch manager and to your profession, estate's agent. So, please do not fall for her «confusion» game. CONNELLS Estate's agent in Abingdon is to be AVOID at any cost. They will make you lose your hard earned money, in fees to broker, solicitors and valuer. All because, they refuse to do a proper job. And moreover, at the time of writing this review, it has been more than 48hr that I am awaiting a formal withdrawal letter outlying the reasons the seller has dropped the sale. After several exchange of emails she told me to go to my solicitors and tell them about the withdrawal, that I do not need a letter. She will only give the letter when her administrator will return to work. But when miss White??? Simply appealing. Those are the kind of people who fails businesses. She is failing CONNELLS GROUP and the panel of Connells Group's investors. This branch in Abingdon is definitely bringing a bad image to Connells Group and investors. Avoid at any cost Connells Estates Agencies.

Comments on Agent Fees
The fees are reasonable, pretty much what you would pay at any agents
My husband and I recently completed on the purchase of our first house with Connells. The whole team at Abingdon are fantastic. They were always polite, helpful and quick to respond to any queries that we had. Alun really guided us through the whole process. He was professional, friendly and extremely helpful. He gave us fantastic advice and helped us to get everything sorted out as quickly as possible. We couldn't have asked for a better buying experience. We would highly recommend Connells.

Do anything you can to avoid buying or selling through Connells. They are absolutely dreadful across the board. The staff are incompetent and made crucial errors, such as neglecting to instruct a solicitor even after I had completed the instruction form. Their staff consistently lied to me and were only ever out to serve their own interests., Now I've (finally) completed and am trying to complain they're making it incredibly difficult. It truly is the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I will take this to the Ombudsman as soon as possible in the hope that no one else will have to suffer as I did. Please proceed with caution....
