Very poor service, they reneged on an initial agreement regarding finding a tenant and has not responded to any of our complaints about them.

Report
My experience with Wright Estate and Lettings was very unprofessional. I was very disappointed with the carefree and lack of accountability I experienced with this company. To date I have not had a response to my request, complaints and even been able to close business account with Wright lettings. This is extremely poor customer services and awful representation of estate and letting agents in a regulated profession in the 21st century.

We bought through Wright & Co and I cannot thank John and the team enough for all of their help throughout the process. John kept us in the loop the whole way and was a great help in communicating with our vendors and solicitors - he couldn't have done more! Thank you and all the best :)

Wright & co are a very friendly and helpful family run business who went above and beyond to help me find my new place. The staff are professional and courteous and made me feel like nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent a property
