I would recommend Maxwell Properties to…
I recently used Maxwell Properties to rent out my property after a disappointing experience with another estate agent.
What stood out to me was their efficiency and professionalism. They quickly arranged high-quality marketing materials, including photos, videos, and a well-crafted property description. Throughout the process, they kept me informed about all viewings and successfully secured a tenant within a week. The communication from their team was seamless, from drafting the contract to processing the invoice.
Maxwell Properties also went the extra mile compared to other estate agents I’ve worked with over the past 20 years. When I needed assistance finding a handyman for a minor repair, they promptly sourced multiple quotes for me to choose from, demonstrating their commitment to excellent service.
I highly recommend Maxwell Properties for their professionalism, efficiency, and outstanding customer service.

Safe hands indeed
Safe hands indeed! Rogue tenants don’t stand a chance against the Maxwell Team’s thorough due diligence process, which protects all parties involved. As a landlord, I can’t thank this team enough for their unwavering commitment to ensuring prospective tenants are suitable before any commitments are made.
For landlords, it’s paramount that tenants are trustworthy and fully vetted—not just through a rigorous referencing process, but also through the expertise of agents who are transparent if something doesn’t feel quite right. That level of integrity and professionalism is something you can truly rely on with the Maxwell Team.
Even my previous tenants have shared glowing feedback about their experience with Maxwell, praising their professionalism, courtesy, and dedication throughout the process. This team goes above and beyond every step of the way, making tenants & not just landlords like me; feel confident and supported. Their passion for excellence and attention to detail are second to none. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!”

Be Diligent When Engaging with This Agency"
I had an experience with Maxwell Properties that left me dissatisfied. After paying a holding deposit to secure a rental property, I felt the process was not handled transparently, resulting in a financial loss.
Always double-check the agency’s credentials and procedures. If you face any issues, know that there are formal channels, like the Property Redress Scheme (PRS), to address disputes.
I’m sharing my experience to help others proceed with caution and make informed decisions.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. However, we must firmly state that your claims are misleading and appear to be an intentional attempt to damage the reputation of our company. After thoroughly reviewing our records, we cannot find any evidence to support the situation you described, nor any interaction with a client matching the details you provided.
At Maxwell Properties, we pride ourselves on maintaining a transparent and professional process for all clients. We ensure compliance with industry regulations and remain committed to upholding the highest standards of service. If you are genuinely dissatisfied, we urge you to contact us directly with verifiable information so that we can address your concerns properly.
Posting fictitious or unfounded reviews not only undermines the integrity of genuine feedback but also negatively impacts the trust we work hard to build with our clients. We kindly request that you cease any further attempts to misrepresent our business.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, but we feel it is important to clarify the circumstances surrounding your experience.
Prior to accepting a holding deposit, we thoroughly discussed and agreed upon the entire process with you. This included the offer agreed with the landlord, as well as the requirements for your application to proceed. It is also important to note that once the referencing process begins, your application is handed over to a third-party company for unbiased processing, ensuring fairness and objectivity in the assessment.
Unfortunately, before the reservation of the property or the referencing process, both of you (Mohammad and Shokoofe) failed to disclose critical financial information, including returned direct debits and an exceeded overdraft limit, which rendered the guarantor unsuitable. Despite this, we worked diligently on your behalf to negotiate a viable solution with the landlord. This included offering the option to demonstrate financial credibility by paying six months' rent in advance. However, you chose not to proceed with this arrangement.
Throughout the process, we maintained full transparency and communicated clearly with all parties involved. Additionally, we addressed your concerns through internal channels and in compliance with the guidelines set by the Ombudsman, responding promptly at every stage.
We understand your frustration, but we must respectfully highlight that the process and requirements were explained to you before reserving the property. Your decision to proceed without adhering to these guidelines ultimately led to this outcome.
We value fairness and professionalism in all our dealings, and we kindly request that you refrain from posting inaccurate or misleading statements. Furthermore, we ask that you stop encouraging friends, colleagues, or others to post false reviews, as this misrepresents the facts and undermines the integrity of genuine feedback. We would also like to point out that this is the second time we are responding to your review, as we have noticed you have posted it again from a different account.

Scammer DO NOT PUT HOLDING DEPOSIT
I had a disappointing experience with Maxwell Properties during my attempt to rent a home. I paid a holding deposit as part of the process, but I believe the handling of my case was unfair, leading to financial loss.
I encourage others to exercise caution when dealing with this company. Make sure to thoroughly understand their policies and processes, and verify all details before proceeding. For transparency, you can look up their business registration on the Companies House website. I have also raised a formal claim with PRS (Property Redress Scheme) regarding this issue.
This is my honest account based on my personal experience, shared to help others make informed decisions.

They hold on your holding deposit to check the reference but they negotiate about property with other and don't remove property pictures from their website. they got 3 people holding deposit at the same time for a same home and all rejected and didn't refund them. all the fake positive feedback here are from themselves friend and family. I doubt anyone would happy to deal with this letting agency either landlords or tenants.

Dear , S Mosavinik,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and I would like to address some of the concerns you’ve raised.
First and foremost, I would like to clarify our process regarding holding deposits and reference checks. Unlike many other agents, before the official paperwork is created, we negotiate on your behalf with the landlord to ensure all terms are agreed upon. We do not require a holding deposit at this stage in order to have your offer agreed preliminarily. Only after the landlord has confirmed the offer, subject to references, do we prepare a detailed “Breakdown Structure” for you to review.
At this point, we ensure that you have the opportunity to thoroughly go through the “Breakdown Structure” to make sure everything is clear and fully understood before you sign the document, pay the holding deposit, and commence the referencing process. This approach is designed to ensure complete transparency and to give you confidence in the process.
For reference checks, we work with FCC Paragon, one of the oldest, if not the oldest, established companies in this field, founded in 1996. We outsource all our references to this professional company to ensure impartiality in the process and to provide a fair and unbiased outcome. You are provided with all of their contact details initially, and from that point onward, you are directly engaged with a representative from FCC Paragon until the conclusion of the referencing process. You can verify their credentials and reputation yourself by visiting their website or checking their registration.
In this instance, a refund is not available as the references provided were unsuccessful, which is part of our standard procedure outlined in the “Breakdown Structure.” This policy is communicated to all applicants at the start of the process to avoid any confusion.
We have been established for nearly a decade, and many of our staff members have been with us since the company's inception. We take pride not only in providing excellent service to our clients but also in looking after our team members, which has allowed us to maintain a low staff turnover, unlike many other firms. This continuity in staffing allows us to maintain high standards and consistency in the service we provide.
We acknowledge your dissatisfaction; however, we are concerned by the additional negative reviews submitted from your party. This platform is designed for genuine, constructive feedback, and the submission of multiple reviews from the same party compromises the integrity of the review process. Therefore, we will be addressing this issue with Trustpilot to ensure the platform is used fairly and in line with its guidelines.
Furthermore, we have received additional correspondence from you directly and will be responding privately to address your concerns fully.
Kind Regards
Management Team

Do not waste your time and money with this company
As a tenant, I was charged £403 for a reference check by a company that was only established a few months ago. I never received the reference report myself, and I was rejected for a ridiculous reason—one of their staff told me via message that it was because I had used my overdraft. A proper reference check should involve contacting my current landlord, verifying my employment, and confirming my salary, which were all accurate. The process felt absurd, and despite not being the one to withdraw from the rental agreement, they refused to refund the fee.

Hello Shalli,
Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews seriously, and while we value constructive criticism, we are unable to locate any record of you as a client in our system. This raises concerns about the authenticity of this review.
For clarification:
Fees and Process Transparency: Our referencing process is conducted by a reputable third-party referencing company, and fees are clearly outlined and agreed upon in advance. At no stage do we charge £403 for a reference check.
Thorough Referencing: The referencing process adheres to industry standards, including verification of income, employment, and landlord references. Rejections are based on specific criteria provided by the referencing company, not subjective opinions.
Refunds Policy: Holding deposits or referencing fees are only non-refundable in cases where applicants fail to meet referencing requirements or withdraw from the process, in accordance with clearly communicated terms and conditions.
If you believe there has been a misunderstanding, please contact us directly with details of your application so we can investigate further. Providing false or misleading reviews can harm businesses unfairly and is against Trustpilot’s guidelines.
We remain committed to delivering a transparent and professional service to all our clients and encourage open communication to resolve any genuine concerns.
