Ignore you when they are in the wrong

The company ignored my calls when asking who they were regulated by in response to the fact they charged for services outside of the Tenancy Fees Act 2020 which would be illegal.
The company writes agreements that include end of tenancy cleaning charges as standard which has been prohibited since 2020.
The company refused to give me my tenancy agreement so I could check that they had included this in the contract, and then it suddenly appeared with them months later when I asked for the phone number of my landlord for a different manner. I think this is very dishonest. This company uses the phrase "we don't manage the property" to justify not being able to help at all.
PS: I have no idea who the Thomas in your reply is, I suggest you look my name up on your records.
PPS: thankyou for changing the name, but I still think you’ve mixed me up with someone else. I didn’t request to leave the tenancy.

Barnaby, this was never our intention. You requested to be released from your tenancy and asked us to do the relevant paperwork. Unfortunately we do not manage the property on behalf of your landlord and advised that we charge for this type of service and directed you to him.

Fantastic small local agency!

The team at Alexander Hudson were all fantastic from start to finish. After getting in touch for a valuation, Jessica came and provided one in line with what I expected.
The house was put on the market with brilliant photos from Frances and within a week of the house being on the market a price was accepted well in excess of the asking price.
Lindsey was great in organising all of the paperwork and putting me in touch with solicitors at True Solicitors who were also very reasonable.
When I do look to purchase another home, I would certainly look to use Alexander Hudson again.

Small agency brimming with talented individuals

Everyone we dealt with at AH was helpful and attentive throughout our selling process.

When we contacted them about selling, Alexander came to check out the place very quickly, giving us a valuation in line with what we expected, and what we were also quoted by another agent. He took excellent photos which really showcased the house, and after posting a 'sneak peek' online before the house officially went on the market, we were inundated with requests for viewings, which the sales team organised to fit around our busy schedule near to Christmas.

Within a couple of days we had received several offers around or in excess of the asking price, but following some negotiation, Jess and the sales team were able to get us an even better price.

We did have some trouble with the new build house we were buying (not through AH), and with the solicitors, but Lindsey was especially helpful in contacting our buyers and solicitors to move the process along and making sure everything ran as smoothly as possible throughout the whole process.

Hopefully we will not be moving home again for some time, but when we do, we will be sure to seek out AH again in the knowledge we will be receiving exceptional service.

Me and my partner called the agent to…

Me and my partner called the agent to book a viewing for a property which came back on the market the day before. We were told nobody could view it for 9 days and we booked a viewing for this coming Saturday. I explained our budget was way over the asking price and we are in a proceedable position so we are very much excited to view.

I get an EMAIL today to say sorry; the property has now sold and your viewing is cancelled.

How can this be when “no viewings were taking place until this weekend”. Has the vendor been told about the amount of viewings on Saturday? Have they been told about the buying positions of the interested parties? I emailed back to ask these questions and been completely ignored.

Not a good service at all!

Good evening, firstly my sincere apologies for the delay in responding to you. Your feedback is sincerely appreciated and whilst I'm disappointed with it, I am grateful for an insight into your feelings and the impersonality that can often be felt when things are communicated via email. The property in question was relaunched to the sales market after a change in the vendors circumstances and we received an overwhelming level of interest in a very short space of time with an 'open day' planned for the up and coming Saturday. Between this time, a prospective buyer who had previously seen the property when it was originally listed got back in touch and resubmitted their origional offer which after taking our vendors instruction and also advising them of the forward booked interest and viewings was accepted.

I've discussed this in depth with my team and whilst it isn't always possible to speak to each and very person every time a viewing is cancelled this could have been approached in a more personal way. We have adjusted or approach and have rephrased emails with the intention of assuring you and anyone else that whilst you/they may have missed out on a property, we will do everything we can do to work together to find you your perfect home.

Incompetent or apathetic

I have spent 3 months trying to get money back due to a mathematical error in a contract they wrote. With constant issues such as arranging call backs with no follow through, ignoring emails, failing to fulfil requests for files and personal information transferred to them regarding payments. I can only say this is the most pathetic excuse for a letting agency I've seen in a while. The only saving grace of this all is my Landlord who is now having to refund us out of pocket as they still haven't received the money meant for them. This review will stay on here until the issue is resolved.

Thomas. I've already responded to your feedback on my Google Business page and believe the matter to have been resolved amicably between yourself and your landlady and have copied and posted my reply below.

Whilst I appreciate you sharing your frustrations in this, there was no mathematical error in the contract and the primary reason for the delay related to the person you had nominated to replace you still payment. I have personally been in regular contact with your landlady and as recently as this morning have confirmed that all is in order.
Please also note, the money you are being refunded from your landlady is part of the normal process and neither her or yourself are 'out of pocket'.

Should you believe this matter not to be correctly resolved, please feel free to get in touch directly.

Could not be happier with the service provided by Alexander and his team with the sale of my late fathers house. Jess and Jennifer were always on hand to answer any queries and kept us updated and remained professional, friendly and patient throughout the process, even when we had a wobble and took the house off the market for a short period. I would definitely recommend using Alexander Hudson estate agents

Best estate agent in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Alexander and his staff were very brilliant and professional in selling my property and in getting me a rental property.
The whole process was so smooth and fast.
I got informed promptly of all steps that were taking place.
They got me an excellent lawyer ( True solicitors LLP ) who carried out the sales within a very short time.
I would highly recommend anyone to engage them in either sales or rentals, they will never disappoint.
They are seriously 💯 efficient.

Couldn't be happier with the service

Couldn't be happier with the service that Alex and his team have offered us. Alex attended our house and talked though the process from valuation to bringing our property to market. He highlighted a clear marketing strategy and made us feel that everything had been considered in the sale of our house. The valuation we received was in depth and met all our expectations. Alex and his team communicated with us throughout the process, always going the extra mile to ensure we were satisified. An excellent service all round I would highly recommend using them.

Horrific

The service from this estate agent is just shy of horrific.

We went to see a property almost 8 weeks ago which is stated on their website as ‘coming soon’ we then placed an offer which took them 2 weeks to get back to us. Whilst I appreciate they may have had trouble getting in touch with the vendor it seemed they did very little to chase this.

Two weeks went by and after myself and my partner chasing this every day nearly we then received an EMAIL from Jess to say the offer had been declined as the vendor is now unsure if they want to keep the property or sell it.

I think staff need training on how to handle a difficult conversation and wording a decline if they think it is acceptable to send a decline over email especially when the offer was for a substantial amount.

Around 6 weeks have gone by now and the property is still on their website as Coming Soon even though the vendor is still unsure of what they’re doing with the property.

For a company who’s values are ‘Honest, Integrity and Commitment’ this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Hello Shelly, I completely understand your frustration with this. We’ve also invested considerable time and effort with this property and I was over the moon to have received a pre market offer to purchase the property from you and your partner, I remember showing you around the house and we got on really well. Unfortunately, since then our client has had a change in circumstances and unable to commit. I’m sorry you weren’t happy with receiving the communication via email however after reviewing all communications relating to this I can not fault Jessica or the work she has invested in this.

As promised, we are not currently entertaining any further interest on the property and the moment we get clarification as to the vendors position we will be back in touch.

Sincerely

Alexander Hudson
