You do not deserve even 1 star Connells in Aylesbury! Stay away from this estate agency. Especially STAY AWAY from Adam Manning who is a senior lettings manager. He is BIG LIAR and he puts in people mouth things they never said. My husband did not pass the credit check for a bill he forgot to pay. It was not related to the rent. When my husband booked the viewing with Adam I was next to him and his phone was on speaker so I heard everything Adam said to him. Adam Manning said to me that when my husband booked the viewing he asked him if he had adverse credit and my husband categorically denied. This is not true. He never asked my husband if he had adverse credit. He only asked our income and how many people were going to live in the property. He booked the viewing and the following day he cancelled it saying they got an offer. The person who made the offer pulled out and Adam did not bother to ring back my husband to say the property was available again. My husband booked the viewing with a person called Ambre and she said they were going to check references. She did not mention the credit check at all. After the viewing Adam Manning said to my husband he was going to send a link to pay the holding deposit. Not true again. Adam Manning rang my husband and he asked him to pay the holding deposit of £276 over the phone and he said we were going to receive a link regarding references check. He never said a word about the credit check. On Friday afternoon at around 5pm we saw the property was again on Zoopla. Just before 8:30pm Adam Manning sent an e mail to me and my husband saying he was not going to proceed because my husband failed the credit check. So Adam Manning put the property back on the market and he informed me and my husband hours later. When I questioned him asking why he did such a thing he told me he told his colleague Ambre to put the property back on the market and he did not have the time to inform me and my husband as he was stuck in traffic. Amazing! If you are stuck in traffic you even have more time to ring or to send an e mail! I asked him:”were you not stuck in traffic when you told your colleague Ambre to put the property back on the market?” he obviously did not reply. You are simple a disgrace Adam Manning! Also you are not a good liar because you do not remember the lies you say. This is because you say too many lies and it becomes difficult to remember all your lies. AVOID Adam Manning and the entire estate agency in Aylesbury AT ALL COSTS!!!

Oct 23, 2023Hi Lina, Thank you for your review, I'm sorry to read of your dis-satisfaction. As discussed previously, there were a couple of opportunities to disclose of the poor credit on your records before references started so we haven't done anything wrong and follow all procedures.
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.

Don't let or Buy the property in Alton Mews Aylesbury, HP19 8JZ. Be careful if you're still going ahead with this property. The property is poorly built and the painting and the electrical works are of very poor quality. I would have given 0 rating if possible. If you have gone through... Read Full Review

I rented through Connells for a number of years and sold my property through them with the tenant in situ. I was told it would make the whole process smoother. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The last months rental money was held on a 'float', I was told this is done so that the... Read Full Review

Piss poor. Was keeping to buy a flat on Sloane House which was supposed to be completed in August. Put in a deposit and had an agreement for the mortgage.

This agent is the worst, please avoid! They took weeks to send us our tenancy agreement, they blamed it on the Landlord then later blamed it on us the tenants. They said certain requests we made would be addressed before moving in, which were not. No inventory report was handed to us on move in ... Read Full Review

I had a very bad experience as a first-time buyer. They've agreed for my offer and I got valuation, mortgage approved by the bank.

Very unfortunate that their performance remains absolutely appalling, will not recommend for landlords. The management unit is the worst so you are better off without Connells. Their inventory reports do not reflect the conditions and all the damage to your property, at the end of the will be... Read Full Review

The only time we received any service was prior to signing the lease agreement, after that was finished it seems things took a turn. Repairs took almost 2 months to even get looked at, changing the date that rental was due took another 2 months. Phone calls are never returned, emails ignored.... Read Full Review

If I'd have to choose between dealing with Connells again, or cutting my own eye out, I'd politely ask for a spoon. Despite making it clear at the start that I definitely have to move until the end of August, the agent lied about the availability of the property right till the end of deadline when ...
