Property we tried to acquire was not legally prepared to be purchased which took us plenty of time and effort, luckily St Albans has good products and we have found a good one already. Overall good professionals however a state agent named Steve Preston was not fit at all in his job.
Appalling service leading to a very negative experience throughout the sale of our property.
We have been dealing with Ashton’s on a rental property which we are meant to move into in less than a week. They have been difficult to work with, seemingly unable to sort minor contract details and won’t return calls. We still haven’t even signed the contract despite paying the holding deposit 5 weeks ago. Extremely frustrating; moving house is stressful anyway and these guys are only adding to it. As a landlord myself I’d be mortified if my agent was as poor as this.
Drove an hour for a viewing. Confirmation text message received the night before. But nobody at the property to let us in and no call or explanation from the agent and unresponsive on the phone. I’ll stick to other agents I think.
We’ve scheduled a viewing and then discovered that the agent didn’t turn up, we ended up waiting in the rain just outside the property. We then called the agency and needed to explain the situation, apparently the person who’s scheduled didn’t document any details. A person who responded on the phone agreed to come and show the property, so that’s another 15’ waiting. When he’s arrived and discovered that he didn’t have the keys and was expecting to find them in the lockbox, but that was empty. Conclusion: 40’ waiting plus commute waisted. Disappointing experience, i will try to avoid if I can. EDIT: this happened today 8 July 2023.
My very honest review was initially posted on the wrong branch's website and I have reposted the same review on the Welwyn Garden City branch who host the asset management team. KO

Avoid. At the end of Tenancy they tried to claim our entire deposit. Luckily the TDS service saw through their greed and awarded us close to the full amount back.
Disappointed with a property I bought from Ashtons St Albans. I was the easiest and quickest buyer they can have, but upon moving in, their seller left the property in a disgusting state. I asked for their help about loads of rubbish in the filthy house. Sales Coordinator Louise Walker and Claudia Reynolds from their office even have no courtesy to return my calls or reply to my emails. They failed to contact the seller directly to leave the property in an acceptable condition or try to resolve the situation. I am a disappointed and unhappy buyer of Ashtons St Albans.
