I have been really impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of Matthew who found me a rental property in the desired location I was looking for within 24 hours. I felt he was proactive in helping me look for what I was wanting. Paul and Russell were helpful too.

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.

Poor estate agents. Myself and my partner Viewed lots of houses with them,found one we wanted, put an offer in. Guy who was dealing with us didnt even call back to tell us our offer had been accepted, we had to call him. Not responsive to calls or emails. You ring and ask for someone to be told...

Would not recommend. I arranged a viewing for a rental property and I arrived 5 minutes early. At the allotted time I phoned the number on the board to ask where the agent was. I was advised they would be on their way. After 10 minutes I phoned again as no agent had arrived. I was assured they... Read Full Review

I am half way through my tenancy in a property that I rented through Jan Forster Estates. I can honestly say that my experience from start to finish has been so so disappointing. The only reason I have not broken my contract with Jan Forster is because the property that I rented is actually very... Read Full Review
What are these agency fees actually for? Cleaning the property, handling repairs, general up keep..? Well obviously not because I have experienced none of this. They half heartedly cleaned and repaired the property after I kicked up a fuss. Other than that It would appear that I spent hundreds of pounds on getting them to print out a shit quality version of my contract.

We had a very bad experience *, we wanted to rent a property and we paid £600 agency fees only, the form that had to be completed was ridiculous, they want so much information more then when you apply for a mortgage on the house, they also check British ppl for immigration restriction which is...

Kurt and Emma have helped me through what has been a very difficult sale. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and they have gone above and beyond what could possibly expected from an estate agent. I called in after visiting a number of estate agents and as soon as I met Kurt I was 100% sure... Read Full Review

JAN FORSTERS = BEST DECISION WE MADE!!! We were struggling to choose between Agents when selling our family home for a big move back down to Essex - we went with our gut instinct, Jan Forsters, as they were not only a local business but seemed to really care. Our instincts were spot on - the staff ... Read Full Review

Estate agents tend to get a bit of a bad rep but actually we couldn't fault the staff who helped us with both the sale of our house and purchase of our new one. We were quite unlucky with potential buyers for our house, with several no-shows and other issues, but the staff were straight on the... Read Full Review

Polite and courteous, Mathew seems to do all in his power to find the right tenant. While the final decision rests with the landlord, Mathew has been very helpful in helping me make those decisions.

Agents fees were fixed which was good in that I knew what to expect but with a percentage I wonder if the agents would have driven to encourage buyers to pay just that little bit more which would have benefitted the agent and myself.
