Enquired about a property just now and the attitude of the lady on the phone was appaling. It felt like the agent hated her job, it was uncomfortable to ask any questions and then the phone was put down with a "thank you, bye" mid sentence when I still wanted to clarify a couple bits, never seen anything like this. Very unprofessional.

To start off with Id like to say that the woman I spoke to on the phone the day I had my viewing was very professional and welcoming, my two stars go out to her, Im sorry I didnt get her name. Where do I start... My contact with Simon from the get go was unwelcoming and unprofessional. He texted to say he was late and instead of greeting and saying hi, sorry Im running late can we make it 10:45 is that ok . I literally got Can we make it 10:45baring in mind that message was my first contact with him. On top of that I had to ring up the agency to make sure Id get a confirmation

Got a room in Manchester by simply residential. The communication with one of their staff members via e-mail was exhausting, sometimes time-wasting, even though she was nice. Furthermore , I think it is outrageous that they take cash just for reviewing one's application. But it seems like this is quite of normal in the UK. Since it is not too easy to find affordable accommodation in Manchester, I agreed to that. My room in the Montgomery House was not in a very good state when I got there. The chair and a lamp were broken. It was furthermore dirty. In conclusion: Nobody checked the room before

Both Simon and the team have been fantastic agents through all my dealings. Their passion and professionalism made the selling process smooth and a memorable experience as well. Their "after hours" work is worth mentioning here. I would highly recommend their services to my friends and family. Looking forward to the auction houses.

Simpy residential have been my letting agents for over 10 years. They have always been courteous and efficient. repairs are always carried out promptly and at reasonable cost. They find and vet quality tenants.and the rent is always paid on time. I would thoroughly recommend them.
