Arranged a viewing for a rental property for mid Jan. I didn't think I could make the booking so emailed in to cancel, I got no response. I then emailed in again to advise I could make it & again, no response. I drove there & luckily they were there waiting for us. I advised I wanted the property & he said I would get a call back on the Monday to put deposit down. I didn't receive a call & had to chase. I then received a link to the Goodlord app where I had to put in all my referencing details. Upon viewing the property I didn't realise I was in a 12 month lease until May 2019 & was only made aware when I asked for a reference. However it was a cheap property that I could afford on my own (£450PCM), my partner could afford the rent of the house we were applying for alone so I didn't think it was a problem and went ahead with the application. All my references had been checked and passed to the agency, a week went by and I heard nothing. I rang the office & was told the lady who answered wasn't in lettings & can't advise when they'll be back however I'll get a callback - never happened. I called again 3 days later & was told rudely, "you can't afford two rents so you've failed the application & there's nothing we can do." I wasn't happy to hear that, especially because me and my partner rent a business property & mentioned that several times - however an extra residential property was the end of the world. I advised the man on the phone that I have the money to pay myself out of my lease (total of roughly £1500), however I am not going to unless my application is put through because if do and then my application gets declined I am going to be homeless. I also had a guarantor but nothing I said was being heard. He said he would see what he could do & would call me back that afternoon, then hung up on me. I didn't receive a callback, so called the office again & a woman answered who informed me that she would get them to call me in the morning. I was working away that morning so asked for an email instead, which she agreed to & never happened. I left it another few days and then got sent an email requesting a guarantor. I sent the details over to Goodlord and then waited. My father-in-law was the guarantor for the property, and on the 25th January he filled in the paperwork infront of me. (I have a screenshot of his signature on the agreement, and a confirmation email from the same date). He submitted everything & we waited. Again no call, no email, nothing. I rang to chase & the office advised he hadn't done it, I contacted Goodlord who said he had done it & then said he hadn't. They resent it & I watched him fill the form out again. Then got a request through for his payslips to be provided as proof of income. I scanned his payslips & uploaded them for him, however when I called to chase I was told they hadn't been received. My father-in-law then called & was told that the payslips had been uploaded but had gone somewhere else & could he upload them again. He wasn't happy with his information being "lost" so he asked to email them to somebody directly, which finally happened & the guarantor form went through. I heard nothing for over a week, I rang the office on the 4th to see what happened & was told everything had gone through & we can organise to the get the keys. Called on the 5th and got it on the 6th Feb @ 12pm. £170 EACH for admin fees and £120 for grntr! Webbs did nothing & I am not happy I had to pay them £500 for me to call them constantly. I filled it out, paid & asked to pickup the keys on Thurs, was told landlord is busy and can't meet me until Saturday night. I was away on Saturday and informed Webbs I can only make it at 9am. Said that was fine. Get there and noones there, I ring Webbs & was told I agreed to Sat night - not true. Then rang landlord & he arrived promptly & gave us the only set of keys he had - because the others were at Webbs! We had to go & get them from Webbs - as the letting agents they were meant to meet us! Poor service & not worth the extra fees.

Horrific customer service for lettings and they take days to get back to you, constantly have to chase for an answer. If I could give zero stars I would, avoid for lettings/renting.

Dear Chloe Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience with us. Throughout the duration of your tenancy, our records indicate there were no reported issues with our customer service. We worked promptly to address any queries or concerns raised during this time. It appears that the current dissatisfaction may be retaliatory, stemming from the end-of-tenancy process where necessary deductions from your deposit are being made to address the disrepair of the property. We understand that this can be frustrating; however, we follow a thorough and transparent process, supported by detailed documentation, to ensure all decisions are fair and align with the terms of the tenancy agreement and legal standards. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. Kind regards The Lettings Team

Went to see them two weeks ago. They promised I will be informed about rentable properties before would go out on the internet. Wasn’t true. When I called them about the viewing a bored girl told me I will be informed if there will be any chance to see the property. ( I must admit I have time only on the weekends) Never mind… Yesterday I got an email from one of them staff about give my details-again, even I was there in the office couple of weeks ago- so they happy to help me. I gave all the details again that lady yesterday and she replied to me as her holiday is coming up now so will be no help until the end of the month. Thanks! Would be better to kick me out straight from the office two weeks ago.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We value your feedback and are sorry to hear that your recent interactions didn’t meet your expectations. The rental market is incredibly fast-paced, and properties can sometimes be listed and rented within hours. While we aim to provide early access to those already registered with us, matching viewing times, especially on weekends, can be challenging due to high demand. Regarding the request for your details again, we apologise for any confusion, but we routinely verify that all information is current to provide the best possible service. While staff holidays do occur, please rest assured that emails are monitored in their absence, so support remains available. If you’re still searching for a property, we are happy to assist you. Please feel free to reach out to us.

I asked to view a property over a week ago The gentleman had been in hospital as was recovering,that’s what I was told That they would ring me back on Monday this never happened I had found another property in the meantime so I thought it would be the right thing to let webs know I was told that before he went into hospital that he had excepted an offer Which webs could’ve told me but choose not too I find them very very rude underhanded and devious As they could’ve told me this over a week ago to my surprise the house isn’t even showing under offer or sold I wouldn’t trust this estate agent or recommend it to anyone Rude ignorant staff Very unprofessional BEWARE 3 rd rate cowboys

People at the cannock branch like to talk down to you and treat you like an idiot. I'm a first time buyer and I wish I wasn't dealing with them gutted as they came so recommended.

We sent you an email on the 16th of October at 9.44 am to answer your questions and to arrange an appointment. I suspect this email is in your SPAM or JUNK email folder. We would love to be able to assist you please do give us a call on 01543 468846 or respond to the email.

Had a booking in place for over a week, on the day of the viewing I received a reminder text about the viewing, we travelled 40 minutes to the house and there was no one there to show us around. They had mixed up the booking somehow and there was nothing they could do apparently.

Not happy with this company as they allowed after excepting our offer and taking the property off the market, they allowed us to be gazumped. Shower of idiots!, if your buying a house they have that many hoops to jump through you give yourself the chance of loosing your purchase .

Good Morning Stephen, All of the Team at Webbs Estate Agents are disappointed to receive your review. We know how frustrating the property market has been at times and can sympathise with your situation. It would not be fair to not put the review into context and therefore need to explain the events that arose to your frustration. You viewed a property that we were marketing for a Vendor from our Cannock Office. You put an offer into ourselves for the Property which was relayed to the Vendor, the vendor advised that they would accept this. The next day we received an offer from another couple who had viewed the home the same time as you. They offered an additional £5,000 more than you had. We have a legal obligation to put this offer forward to the Vendor. The vendor decided to proceed with the higher offer. Our job as an Estate Agent is to act in the best interest of the Property Owner. They are the ones who have entered into an agreement with ourselves and also who are liable for our Fees. A £5,000 increase on your offer is not an insignificant amount of money and therefore our Vendor wanting to accept this was not unreasonable. I would ask yourself if you had received an increased offer of that amount of money on a property you were selling, would you want your Estate Agents to put it forward to you? The answer would be a resounding Yes. We wish you all the best in your property search.

Disgraceful letting agent. I was very unlucky as I used Webbs and was lumbered with a scumbag landlord. I was ripped off on a flat that I rented in Cannock and then for four months Webbs and my landlord ignored requests to get vital repairs carried out inside my property. I moved out at the end of my six-month tenancy, and because of Webbs I didn't use another letting agent for six years. In addition: With two months left on my tenancy, I told Webbs and my landlord to stick their rent. It was agreed that they would waive the final two months but keep my security deposit. Approx. one year later I discovered that Webbs had created a debt out of the final two months rent and sold it to a debt recovery agency.

Dear A M We are saddened to learn that you have experienced issues with repairs on a historical let that we may have managed. It is difficult for us to comment on past maintenance matters on such an old tenancy, however, we can assure you that we work tirelessly with our landlords, tenants and contractors to ensure that all essential repairs are completed as promptly as possible. We have also had a full management re-structure in recent years and would hope that should you require a rental property in the future, we would be able restore your faith in letting agents. Kind regards The Lettings Team Webbs Estate Agents

If I could give less than 1 star I would ! My partner put her house up for sale it was sold with another estate Connells but too cheap so webbs said that it was sold way under what the current market was and they would easily sell it for more money and what the true value of the house was so we put it up with webbs 4 months ago . The valuer came out and said it would sell no problem so did the photographer since that day we’ve have 10 viewings in 4 months and I think most of those were not vetted as we always had to ring to see how the viewing went and was told a majority of the time , oh we can’t get in touch with the people who viewed we will ring you back . Alas the phone call never came . We’ve had no response or communication or feedback on what to do to sell the property or any advice from webbs and the final straw was when we rang on Sunday and spoke to a Brenda who was abrupt and impolite with us . So if the sales team arnt going to try to sell the house then what hope have we got . The house is in a lovely area in heath Hayes and a similar house 4 doors down sold for over the asking price with a week . That has 14 viewings in one week and we’ve had 10 viewings in 4 months . I would not reccomend webbs estate agents in any shape or form and they have wasted 4 months and f our time and I feel another estate agent would have easily sold the house by doing the basic things that webbs obviously haven’t done . We are now 4 months behind the market and hopefully another agent will be able to get the house sold and try to extinguish the stress and anxiety that’s webbs have caused us !
