Nothing good to say about these people - they behave like they're running some exclusive Beverley Hills film company, not a letting agency serving commuter-land. Rented a flat from Frost in Feb 2012, my contact was their Sally Hyland at Amersham branch. Throughout, she was not friendly, very formal, bordering on the point of rude. They certainly make you feel like the Dickensian tenant, who had little legal rights with the way they deal with things. Fortunately, tenant law has changed and I know my rights, but a lot of people who don't would surely feel intimidated dealing with these people - no sooner had I signed my lease than Frost handed over a s21 notice seeking possession in 1 years time.I didn't like Frost or Sally Hyland at all. She was often terse, bordering on rude, over the phone, she was overly formal, didn't answer routine emails, made several obvious mistakes on forms that slowed things down, and surprisingly, was exceptionally rude about the old tenant living in my flat. I would never expect to hear this about someone I don't know.If you rent through Frost, know that they hold themselves to a very high standard. You won't be left feeling like the flat/house you're renting is 'yours'. You'll also have a lot of trouble getting Frost to get repairs done. These people are expensive, unpleasant and unnecessary. They treated me in an appalling fashion until I asked my solicitor to write to them setting out my legal rights as a tenant. Since that time, they've gone back to where they belong... crawled back under their stone. If you can avoid it, use another agency in Amersham. These people are pure scum.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the service provided by The Frost Partnership during my father's tenancy agreement for an apartment in Amersham. Initially, their approach seemed thorough, but subsequent events have led to some distressing issues. When my father was hospitalised and subsequently moved to a care home, their assistance was notably lacking. A particular point of contention is the condition of the patio at the property. At the commencement of the lease, the landlady acknowledged in writing that the patio required cleaning. Despite this, The Frost Partnership is demanding a fee of £190 for its cleaning, which seems unjust given that it was not in a satisfactory state when my father began his tenancy. It is disconcerting that they are insisting on this charge, especially considering my father's advanced age of 92 years. I urge you to consider this communication as a stern cautionary note. While initial impressions may be positive, our experience has been anything but, and it is important to note that there are numerous other estate agents available within a short walking distance. It is disappointing to have to convey such a message, but I believe it is necessary to share our experience so that others may be more informed in their dealings with The Frost Partnership.

Your review is disappointing given the tenancy is still ongoing and both our Landlord and The Frost Partnership are being extremely fair and reasonable. When we were made aware that your father had to move out due to health reasons we spoke and agreed with your Landlord that the tenancy could be ended early, subject to a new tenant being found to take over the tenancy where your liability for rent and utilities would end, thus saving you a considerable sum. As per the tenancy agreement the Landlord is within their rights to charge remarketing costs but in the circumstances has agreed to waive this. As with all tenancies there will be a checkout when it terminates at which point an independent assessment is made to check if the property has been given back in the same condition (bar fair wear and tear) as it was when the tenancy commences. On one of our recent visits, it is clear that the patio is overgrown with some 3ft weeds and not in the same condition as it was at the start. As such The Frost Partnership has got a quote to bring the patio back to the condition at the start, this does not include cleaning but was purely for your information. As mentioned previously the formal check out will not take place until the tenancy formally ends and therefore you have the opportunity to clear and weeds on the patio yourself or appoint your own contractor prior to the checkout being done. If the patio is deemed to be in a similar condition to that at the start of the tenancy there will be no charge. It is not fair to expect the Landlord to pay to bring the garden back to the condition it was at the start of the tenancy. All discussions regarding tenancy end and expectations for property handover for end of tenancy have been with you (the guarantor) and not your elderly father.

We tried to buy a house through Frost Amersham last year that we were really keen on, offering full asking price immediately and increasing our offer by 35K when it went to best and final offers. We were chain free, cash buyers and on friendly terms with them. We were told by the branch manager Gemma Testa that the sellers had accepted a higher offer from another cash buyer. We were gutted but there was nothing we could do. Several months on and we now see from Land Registry records that the property was actually sold for 11K less than our best and final offer. We doubt very much now that our offer was submitted to the sellers, in 'favour' of the people who have ended up buying the property. You have to ask why?? Buying and selling a house is one of the most important decisions in life and you want to be treated with honesty and integrity. We do not feel that we have been treated fairly and honestly. We would not recommend this outfit. There are other reputable estate agents in Amersham if you are thinking of buying or selling.

Dear Beautiful Everyday, I am sorry to read your review, and wholeheartedly wish you had contacted us if you had questions about the house sale before putting your opinions online. Given that you haven’t used your name, or the property address, it was difficult for us to research, but we believe we have the correct details now. The house in question was very popular, receiving 7 offers from interested parties, 6 of which, including yours, were well in excess of the asking price. Such was the market at that time, this was not unusual. You can rest assured that your offer, along with all the others, was put to the seller. It was the seller who made the decision whose offer to accept and we obviously went with their instructions, as their agent. It is, at the end of the day, their choice. The completed sale price was lower than the agreed sale price, for the simple reason that the buyers survey highlighted a significant issue with the property, that resulted in a re-negotiation from the original sale price agreed. This happens quite often after a buyers survey, and had you contacted us directly we would have gladly told you this. Bearing all of the above in mind, we ask you to please remove this review, as we take a pride in our reputation and the Frost name, which has been involved in selling property in The Chilterns for over 100 years.

Be careful with these people. When moving into rented accommodation they did not address any issues that we felt needed to be fixed, simply ignoring our emails. When we moved out, they tried to take money from our deposit to fix issues with the house that already existed before moving in. They continued to ignore my requests, but did take the time to email in order to ask for this review to be taken down. They are morally bankrupt and you should certainly try to take your business elsewhere if you can.NegativeQuality, Professionalism, Value

The way you handled my end of tenancy has been complete nightmare. Your property managers created problems for me when there was no need due to lack of communication and finally when it all seems to going OK and was told last Friday that my deposit would be repaid, upon chasing today have been told that it hasn’t been. Will look into this and get it sorted and will take 3-5 working days for the money to repaid. No one seems that bothered about the tenant despite your claims on website etc.I wonder how long before this will be deleted?

If you see a house listed with their Slough branch, set aside a few quid to slip into Lee Henry's pocket, otherwise you have no chance of getting a property with them. Absolute Sc*mbag

Really dissapointed with the property management service at Ashford, Middlesex. It feels like you are actually bothering them, when you chase things. Next thing you know, you've got a different property manager with no clue about what your problem is. And you start again. Rarely seen a service this bad, really dissapointed.
