Awful. Terrible. Stay away.
I had a horrible experience with this agent. Firstly the property I was looking at was grossly overvalued, and it was clear; you only had to spend an hour online comparing properties. The agents had clearly told the landlord this was achievable; hence, it sat on the market for five months with no interest.
Over time the price dropped by around 20% to a more realistic value, and the property started to get viewings. On viewing the property, the agent couldn't answer many of my questions.
When I engaged the agents about putting in an offer, I had to chase on six separate occasions to get a response. They were utterly useless from start to finish. Don't go near them.

The whole experience of renting a property through this letting agent has been horrendous. The only time when they were in any way helpful or polite was when I viewed the property and subsequently went on to rent it. Pretty much from the day I picked up the keys they became incredibly unhelpful, rude and dismissive of any issue I had as a tenant. I put up with a leaking conservatory which was never fixed and spoilt many of my son's toys and books, a broken window pane in my son's room which they demanded I pay for even though the house is clearly subsiding, damp throughout the whole property to name but a few issues. The only time they were interested in helping was when I reported a wasps nest by my front door and they actually asked me count how many wasps there were in it!!! I honestly thought they were joking for a moment, and then I remembered how incompetent they had been with everything else so I realised this was a genuine question! The final straw came when they tried to keep the entire deposit money due to the state I had supposedly left the place in. Not only this but they tried to charge me for the carpet cleaning with an invoice that I had provided them with my name on it stating that I had paid!! Thank goodness the deposit was held by DPS and they were able to recognise the incompetence of this shambolic excuse for a letting agent. The man in charge who I think is called John was also incredibly rude not only to me but also I've seen him rude to his staff and also being rude when out and about in shops. My advice would be to stay away from this company no matter how nice the property you want to rent from is.

Definitely over paid for the property we were in. Estate agents did nothing h for their fee, they didn’t even do an annual check for approx 2 years and lost their set of keys!

Moved out over a month ago and no correspondence regarding our deposit. My correspondence has been ignored and team abrupt when I call the office. I was a tenant for over 5 years. In that time I was left with a manky bathroom and damp. I always continued to pay my rent on time and the increase every year even in a deteriating flat! Estate agents did nothing! A neighbours tree was growing through my fence and window destroying the fence and my aerial. I had to sort it out myself as the estate agent ignored me for months! I contacted the estate agent to see if there was anything to do before I moved out and they said to just leave it clean, instead I left it spotless. Now the estate agents are telling me the landlord is getting quotes for a deep clean. Why was I not told that, i could have arranged it myself at a reasonable rate. I have know idea why the landllord wants a deep clean as the flat needs a complete refresh. I feel sorry for any new tenants moving into the property if the landlord is not going to sort the flat out and continue to charge full price. You cant even open the back door. Again reported that several times! Terrible service and to add insult to injury they are allowing the landlord to steal my deposit. Good luck if you decide to rent through them!

I rented a number of flats through Taylor Made from 2008 to 2016. Initially, I was satisfied with their service in terms of locating an adequate property. It transpires that this is all they are good for.
The most significant problem arose when my integrated fridge/freezer died. They (or the landlord) refused to replace it like-for-like and instead, installed a free-standing appliance in the middle of our living room, deeming this an acceptable replacement.
In the end (after a woolly response from their MD), I just decided to live with it, getting some help to lift it into the void where the old appliance used to sit in the kitchen units (albeit not fitting that well and having to adjust the cupboards accordingly). They then had the cheek to make deductions to the deposit when I left.
When I served notice to leave, I was met by an arrogant sales rep who showed up with a camera the size of which you would expect to see used by the paparazzi. He took many photos with the sole purpose of quibbling over the most minute matter of wear and tear.
In summary, functional in locating a place to live but zero customer care. But then, as a tenant you are not considered a 'customer' - the landlord is!

This agency is a real disaster. I view a flat that I really liked. I paid a reservation fee for it. I told them I have a notice of one month to give, the agent told me it was fine, he even called his office to confirm it. So I paid the reservation fee to be told the day after that the landlord wants someone as soon as possible, when I already gave my notice to my actual landlord. They kept making stupid excuses. The agent could have check this information before taking my fee, as this is what you would expect from a professional, but he didn't and the agency never recognized their mistake

Comments on Agent Fees
I have not rented with any other agent before so perhaps it is common place but Taylor Made will sting you every step of the way in terms of fees. You can only sign a 6 month contract when you move in, as I was there for the year I had to pay almost £200 after the 6 months was up to renew the contract.

I was a tenant with Taylor Made and have had a truly terrible experience trying to get my deposit back from them after I moved out. I would advise anyone to avoid them unless there is absolutely no other alternative and you aren't planning on transferring the deposit directly from one rent to pay for the deposit for another rent as it has been over two months and they still have not returned mine! I rented a studio flat from Taylor Made for a year whilst I was working with a company in Bournemouth. At the start they seemed very professional and helpful with no messing around, had I written this review before moving out it would have been a lot more positive. However it would seem that once you have moved out and are no longer paying them rent, they no longer pay any regard to you whatsoever! About a month after I moved out I emailed Taylor Made just asking how the checkout report went and if I might have a time-frame for when I might get my deposit back. This email was ignored. I then emailed again a week later and again, no reply. About two weeks after that I phoned and was assured that it would be "sorted out right away". A week later I had still heard nothing from them so I emailed a complaint giving them two weeks to release my deposit after which I would begin taking legal action if I had not received it. It is now two months after I have moved out of the flat, they are still refusing to release my £825 deposit and I am having to pay legal fees to get the legal documents signed by a solicitor. I'm not one to blow my own trumpet but I do consider myself a rather good tenant. I paid all my rent on time, responded to Taylor Made in good time when they wanted to show someone round for a viewing, I made sure the flat was sparkling clean before a viewing and the flat was cleaner when I moved out than it was when I moved in! So I can see no reason for Taylor Made to harbour any ill will but for some reason I have been treated with utter contempt, completely ignored and disregarded. As a student I really need that money to go towards my car insurance, food and rent. I don't have much money spare that I can do without £825 in my account! Perhaps it's because I'm a student they think that I am young and not willing/able to do anything against them; I do not know. Unless you happen to have a money tree in your garden and are rich enough to not care about losing the first months rent + deposit on your then I would advise anyone to avoid at all costs!

A truly dreadful experience.
When moving in there was broken glass on the floor, the toaster and kettle did not work, and there were several lightbulbs already out which were too high up to reach.
On departure they claimed the lightbulbs on me! (Costing �126 from my deposit) They also wanted to sell the property and failed to respond to my request for extended tenancy for 3 months and would not comply with the 2 month notice period.
I have rented properties in many areas over a number of years and I am yet to find an estate agent worse than this. Thry didn't even know the parking space number when I arrived!
Avoid at all costs!!!

I was able to contact Ross and get a very quick response to my questions, I believe that he is an asset to Taylor Made. Very often Estate Agents don't return calls and give unrealistic valuations, however Ross at Taylor Made was indeed an exception and a pleasure to deal with. His colleague Susie is also very tolerant and helpful person. All in all I am very happy with the overall service.

Ross was excellent from the very beginning when he assured me that he would sell my flat within 7 days. He did not disappoint! Ross has a wealth of knowledge and coupled with his amenable and friendly manner this makes him a cut above the rest among his peers. Ross went above and beyond his role for me during this transaction, sorting out tedious and complicated problems as they arose, keeping me informed at all stages and was reassuring and efficient throughout. He is a true asset to Taylor Made.
