Not good communication.poor Did not turn .ip at vendor,s home when asked too after l travelled from Birmingham to grimsby to view this property .Asked me to go and find there estate agency .To make an offer which l declined .as l did not know where they were had a 2 HR 10 min journey to the said property and yhe same to return home .obviously to waste time driving around grimsby to locate them was not really an option .l also informed them in Sunday l was travelling to an island in Philippines and it would be difficult to contact me .Then after upping my offer on the Saturday before l flew to phillipines.l informed them too contact by E- mail .l left it a week and a day .Then l E- mailed them .Chelsey the manager said she had tried to ring me .But could not make contact in an E mail when l sent them a message by E mail 10 days later asking for vendors decision . I then re-informed them to use the method of contact l had informed them too use. . Then I sent a further E - mail on the 19 th July Which had a self generated message from the manager Chelsey saying she is out of the office until 21stjuly So will not be checking her E -mails .or replying really speechless .At there sloppy uncaring attitude. 1)One not turning.up at property when asked too. 2)Not listening to my request to contact me by E-mail as l said l would be out of the UK. 3)Then the self generated E-mail from branch manager saying she will not be checking E- mails or responding for two days .Has she is out of the office . Does the business stop if she is not there. Very bizzare. To relaxed unprofessional and not listening to there customer base .NOT GOOD ??????

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback Mr Grifiths. However, I do find your comments to be unfair and uncalled for. The reason we did not attend the viewing was because you arrived half an hour early for your appointment and the vendor had already shown you around, you did not call the office to inform us of your early attendance so we were unaware. The offer was made verbally over the phone to myself and I explained that we needed to discuss with the vendor once you had left the property. I was unaware that you were disgruntled at all this stage as you stated that the vendor was providing you with drinks on your request. We asked you to visit the office to provide your proof of funding as this is not generally discussed directly in front of other parties. Our office is located 1.2 miles away from the property and whilst I appreciate you had travelled 2hours and 10 minutes, I didn’t think at the time this to be unreasonable and ensured that we adhered to all Data Protection legislation. The call I made to you was to return a voicemail you left the day before and was followed up immediately by email, so did not cause any delays. You are correct that I have been out of the office for two days to care for my two year old daughter. The email that you had sent to me on the 19th was responded to immediately by my out of office stating that whilst my emails are not monitored, the rest of the team (Including our Director) are reachable on the alternative email provided. Please feel free to contact myself or our Director Lewis Wilson, if you wish to discuss further. 01472 251918 Kind regards Chelsey Sinclair Branch Manager

I have decided to give 2 stars rather than one because in the end, my property did sell. I initially put my mum's bungalow up for sale with another agent, then decided to change to Lovelle - I think that was our first mistake. Lewis was the person that we dealt with at the beginning as he valued the property and told us that he could sell it within a week! The property was originally listed in September 2021, and then started with Lovelle's in December 2021 so in future, please do not tell your clients that you can sell the property in a week because you can't. That is an unrealistic expectation and when you set your customer an expectation that you cannot follow through with then you have problems immediately. They managed to sell to a couple, who then tried to rip us off for a new roof, when we provided them with a full survey which stated that the roof was in good condition. This couple took their "builder friend with no roofing experience" to the property and then they tried to lower their offer by 6.5k! I spoke to a roofing specialist and asked them to attend and provide a roof survey for me and a cost for any work that may be required. I informed Lewis of this and gave him the name of the surveyor or was attending. He then passed this information on to the prospective buyer, who in turn passed this information on to the "builder friend with no roofing experience!" The company that we employed then received a telephone call from this "builder friend with no roofing experience" wanting to know what he thought he was doing and that he was able to "rip" his friend off for over 6k if he did them a new roof - a new roof that wasn't required! I received the survey from the company with a quote of work that was required for less than £300. But my concern was that information was passed onto a potential buyer by Lewis. So now we had a break down in trust and a breakdown in our relationship with Lovelle's. I gave notice to move to another Estate Agent but then they had another view and offer so we had no other option but to stay with them. The couple arranged to view with Holly, but luckily my brother was there because it was reported to me that Holly just stood by the door and although she physically attended the viewing, she didn't actually do the viewing. My brother did the viewing and on that, this couple made an offer. Lewis didn't have any further contact with us at all, which is appalling as this is his company. We were then allocated James. James was slightly better although we found him to have an attitude at times. However, the sale eventually went through, just this month. Approximately 10 months after Lewis told us that he would sell the property within a week. The photographs taken were of poor quality and I did ask Lewis if he could re-do them as they were done on a cloudy rainy day. He told me that he would, but he didn't. We feel that the overall advertising of the property was below standard. This was a very bad experience from start to finish, with a breach of trust and a breakdown in relationship, but I have to say that James did push the sale as much as he could but it was a problem down the chain, not from our side but he did keep us informed and managed to close the deal - so my second star is for James, otherwise it would have been just one star. I am not going to tell people not to use this company, but just do your homework for all agents. Lewis is very good at the talk, but not the walk.

Good evening Ms Smith, thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we welcome all feedback whether that be positive or negative in order to help us grow as a company. We note that the majority of your comments are aimed at Lewis, we are confident of Lewis' ability and you'll note on most of our reviews, customers have had nothing but good words to say. We truly are sorry that you feel Lewis hasn't delivered to your expectations on this occasion and we will be sure to express your concerns with him. We're delighted to see that you have indeed completed on the sale of your property and that James did a superb job protecting your chain and liaising with everyone involved, including keeping you informed and updated. We have checked the timeline of activities on your property file and can see that Lewis first valued your property on 25/8/2021 and you shortly after listed with an alternative agent. Lovelle later listed your property for sale on 29/12/2021 some four months later in a quieter market due to the time of year and on 19/01/2022 achieved an acceptable offer subject to the sale of the prospective buyers own home. There was then very limited interest on the property and the interested purchasers own home did sell and your property then was made formally sstc on 18/3/2022. Due to varies issues highlighted by your buyers report and not being able to reach an agreement, the sale did collapse on 11/04/2022. Shortly after, another sale was agreed to an alternative buyer on 22/04/2022. Unfortunately as you suggested there were complications in the chain which were out of our control and which resulted in a delayed completion. Completion was carried out on 05.10.2022. On reflection of the above we do feel that we have acted in a timely manner in order to achieve a sale of your property. As previously suggested, your concerns regarding photography, our viewing attendance and our breach of trust passing on details of a surveyor will be addressed with Lewis direct. We do feel it's important to stress that it is normal procedure for agents to pass on the details of a surveyor, whether these are instructed by a purchaser or vendor. Once again, we would like to thank you for taking the time to review our services and are happy that in the end we were able to get your property over the finish line. If you do require anu further assistance in the future please do not hesitate to contact Lovelle. Team Lovelle

Rented for over 5yrs with them. Rent was always paid on time. Was extremely annoyed that I was ripped by not getting the deposit back. I'd never reccomend or rent with them again!!

Good afternoon Mandy. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. As a customer focused business we always take feedback very seriously. Having looked into this unfortunately I have been unable to find you on our systems. This maybe due to a change of name etc but if you could please contact the office on either 01472 500700 or lettings@lovelle.co.uk then I will be happy to look into why some of the deposit may have been retained and discuss this with you. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Sam

The lady who I spoke to about a property my son rents kept talking over me every time I tried to ask a question. My sons had no heating for 3 weeks as the boiler has packed up again. And did the same last Christmas they gave them a little electric heater not much good to heat a 2 bedroom house that has 5 rooms that are in use!!! Went the other day and it was warmer outside than in the house
