Shockingly bad. Unhelpful, obstructive and expensive. Write their fees into the tenancy agreement despite not being a party to it. Bully the landlord into accepting their policies despite having no foundation at law. Tried to make me pay a year (yes, a year) rent upfront because the credit agency said my cash in bank, rental income (much higher than the rent on this place) and salary are all irrelevant, till the landlord overruled them. Everything they do is driven by their fees, or setting up for future fees. Reported them to the OFT. Avoid Romans like the plague.
They have fees for absolutely everything.

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 service throughout tenancy, mislead into signing on to "no deposit scheme" as it would "look better to landlord". Leak developed in pipes in flat above causing mould on walls in bathroom and on ceiling in lounge, made multiple complaints over course of 6 months and only ... Read Full Review

On the face of it, Romans is a pretty average lettings agent. They have a decent selection of properties and as a large business have all the people and processes in place you expect. The experience of actually renting through them is terrible. Be prepared to spend hours pushing to get anything ... Read Full Review

We have been renting with Romans for over a year now and we continue to be very disappointed with their service. They add on extortionate admin fees wherever possible, are very hard to get hold of when there is an issue and the customer service at this branch is awful. On a number of occasions...

I would highly recommend that you use any other agent other than Romans. Their customer service skills are awful, becoming rude with me, my partner and then my mum over the phone. Full of empty promises saying that they would sort things and call us back, which always ended up being the other way... Read Full Review

We rented from romans who lied to us that the property has no leaks. The ensuite leaked into bedroom 4 and to the downstairs once we moved in. The cheap landlord refused to fox but told us not to use the 2 rooms with no compensation. This was fixed 11 months into a 12 month contract. The property... Read Full Review

25 Broadmead, Farnborough, GU14 0RJ- We rented this very old property for a year and a half. The property is in a very bad state with mould/damp/plumbing issues. The landlord will do nothing to fix it whilst staying there and will only look to fix it when new tenants are due to rent the property.... Read Full Review

Awful letting agent, rude staff, and unhelpful. Was a nightmare when we applied for the property and never returned phone calls, then when we terminated our tenancy, viewings were arranged without our consent, and they turned up when they wished with no respect for our home (dirty shoes walking...

Staff need to be more polite and less bullying their tactics, think some would benefit from customer service training. Also need to review their processes and procedures as they have failed on many accounts
Made a lower offer as house had been on market for a long period of time and was pushed into paying full price and promised extra services for this which were never received

Agent pulls out random contract clauses regularly to take more money from you. In the small print, they are allowed to sign you up for an energy company and act as you when doing so, meaning you don't get to read the contract you agree with the energy company. That company also does everything... Read Full Review
- Less hidden clauses in the contract - More professional communication - Better in-office trained staff - Remove anti-consumer practices like partnering with energy companies for additional (unnecessary) commission - Take fewer agency fees for basic and essential paperwork (which should come from the rent cut)
