They are scammers. Beware of this company. They rented me a house with no hot water. It took them over a month to fix. Then, when I complained about the multiple disrepairs, these cretins had me evicted. On top of that, they had the audacity to claim my full deposit. Horrible and racist staff. If you're a foreigner, they will treat you with disrespect. Avoid at all costs.
Appalling services as a letting agent. Reported Damp repeatedly to their office to which they made very minimal efforts to resolve and only approved the very minimal works to force contractors to botch job the repairs and hide the damp as apposed to actually fixing the problem. I had to repeatedly chase them up to send people to look at the property, and when the damp was first reported they attempted to tell me they knew the cause/extent of the issues without someone even entering the property despite the damp only getting worse. Thankfully I wished to be home when a contractor eventually attended and he told me the true cause of the damp and put requests in to fix this properly however he was not approved the work. I was reporting the damp issues for over a year before I finally found a newer property to move to and handed in my notice, then suddenly they rushed out a damp surveyor to check the property,. And sadly after this terrible service and the state jd Gallagher was willing to leave my home in, they have still attempted to not give me my full deposit back. I am extremely disappointed in JDG. After being a loyal tenant for years I would not recommend them to anyone.
Do not trust them and lying so blatantly to try and sell a property. They have a good portfolio of properties and when speaking with their staff on the phone they are lovely. However we visited a property in lancaster and spotted some warning signs of damp the guy showing the property just blatantly lied to us and said there are no problems with damp. When we pointed out the very obvious ones including the walls being really wet in two rooms on the top floor and the fact that there was holes in the roof where we could see the daylight coming through, he continued to lie. There were a few other things he claimed that did not match what we were seeing. Went and bought the next house we saw with a different agent
Absolute waste of space
These guys have an abysmal policy that you must view the property before you can purchase. Great if you live in the area, not so great if you don’t and have to spend hundreds of pounds travelling to view every property. There’s also a good chance they will sell the property before you get chance to see it after you have made travel arrangements, in my case causing the loss of several hundreds of pounds in bookings to travel and in accommodation. This is after I made a cash offer on one of their properties which they refused to accept. Effectively they have banned me from being able to buy a house in my hometown because I had the temerity to move away for a few years. I know all the houses and areas in Lancaster, I’d like to buy one for cash, all it needs to do is pass a survey, the rest is cosmetic, what’s your problem? Mmmm... apparently you legally obliged to put an offer from prospective buyers, I will be following this up....
Poor communication, no response to messages.NegativeResponsiveness
They make a private auction... And if you’re happy to give them more then sellers price you will buy on time . No communication with the People Change the date of view wait for more people or for there people to take the house .
Beware of booking a viewing as they might call you the same morning and let you know it's cancelled!
Do not trust these guys, accepted offer to buy a property in writing and then 30 mins later rejected by playing buyers off one another. AVOID
Terrible - was with them for 3 months and had the worst service. Constantly chasing them for things and had very few viewings. Changed to Farrell Heyworth and sold the house within a week!!
