This company use underhand tactics to ensure that you do business with them. When it comes to any disputes regarding ongoing fees they totally deny any agreement and harass you for payment. They do not record telephone calls or keep logs of branch visits so you are unable to confirm what was agreed. They are everything that customers despise about estate agents.

Services : Letting( As a Tenant )Date: 4th Dec 2017
I lived in a 3/4 bed house in SW11 Earlsfield a stones throw from Wimbledon. I was new to the renting game from the tenant side. I saw a place on zoopla & contacted the agent. The agent seemed pleasant & helpful (especially as I'd have to pay all rent upfront due to poor credit history.....). She showed me a few places & then I was shown a tiny but seemingly usable one bedroom flat. The agent told me of the 6 month break clause and that I could have those terms (as I was unaware of such a clause to be honest). I agreed. They sent me a subject to contract letter via email which I had to electronically sign 1st May 2015, move in date 2nd May 2015. The document stated the term of 6 month break clause, and so I happily paid £10k knowing that if I didn't like se25 Thornton Heath that at least I could leave and look elsewhere. The neighbour there that I shared the main communal front door with has great mental health issues, is an alcoholic & heavy drug user often shouting racist abuse. The landlord was/is aware of him & his conduct, so too were/are the agents. There was also a rat & mice problem (saw them in the 'daytime'.......). I applied for my 6 month break clause early & was told via the phone that I didn't have that I had just a normal tenancy. (I was gutted and couldn't prove anything because I couldn't access my emails yet due to no WiFi in place at the time, I took their word as fact and just sunk in the flat, began staying in bed all day). In January 2016 I was attacked by the neighbour, the police are aware of his many episodes and all the tenants leaving early because of how he is. I was purposely given an unsafe place to live as all they wanted was the £10k upfront. After my attack I needed my paperwork to work out my move in date etc and guess what I found? The invoice/subject to contract which features term 6 month break. I was horrified. I contacted them and told them I felt scammed as here is the proof here. They turned around and lied to me that the landlord didn't want a break clause because of my poor credit history (told me in January.........). That's unilateral means. So far they got away with it, but when I did a search on the address I was disgusted to see that despite me updating Townends of the pestilence there AND the dangerous to ALL neighbour; Townends readvertised the flat before I'd even officially moved out (& from hear say I've heard that that tenant after me fled early too & that there's been 2/3 tenants moving in with other neighbours betting how long they'll last (same was done to me on my arrival I found out last week....). The lawyers fees are due to be expensive as I have inquired, but I must conclude the matter legally as that was my savings, & I know they'd used tricks because the landlord lives abroad and in the space of time may 1st to May 2nd they'd told me they couldn't get hold off her. So how did she tell them to not give me a 6 month break then? I thought them a company you could trust as they've been around as long as McDonald's as I'd of been reluctant to use a newbie agent tbh smh. Loads of us have had to flee that flat. Even recently.

Simon and his team were very professional in ensuring that the sale process ran smoothly and where a delay was anticipated, he was able to alleviate the problem. He was not only able to find a suitable buyer, but was also able to find a suitable accommodation for the tenants in the property to move to.

Simon Bright is a legend! He is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, switched-on, professional, insightful, dedicated, whilst at the same time being patient, understanding and reassuring (and just generally lovely). I experienced a series of unfortunate events (to put it mildly) selling my flat, and there is no one I would rather have had on my side through it all. Forget everything you think you know about estate agents! I cannot recommend Townends highly enough.

I switched to Townends after a disappoing service from another estate agent and didnt regret it. I recently completed a very long, drawn out flat sale with Simon Bright at South Norwood branch. There were many issues including the discovery of Knotweed, negotiating a new lease, two lazy solicitors and a buyers deposit which took an age to arrive. Simons knowledge, professionalism and positivity made sure everything ran as smoothing as possible despite the process taking around 9 months. I would be very happy to recommend this branch to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Thank you Simon, and you staff, for all your help in the sale of Flat 5.
