Negative Experiences
The majority of reviewers had a negative experience with Clarke's Estates. Many mentioned rude and unhelpful staff, particularly when it came to checkout and deposit returns. One reviewer, Lou Tomlin, experienced a humid issue with the property prior to their tenancy, which the company insisted was the tenant's responsibility. Another reviewer, Kevin Tomlin, criticized the company's conduct, claiming they sought to con tenants out of their deposits by demanding minor repairs.
Overcharging and Misconduct
Additionally, some reviewers reported being overcharged or experiencing misconduct from the company. For instance, Lou Tomlin stated that the company deducted 1200 from their deposit, despite minor issues with the property. Stuart Mackay accused the company of being lazy, unprofessional, and unreliable, citing a cancelled viewing and a lack of transparency in their processes.
Lack of Communication
Poor communication was also a common complaint. Stuart Mackay expressed frustration with the company's failure to inform them of their decision, and Lou Tomlin reported feeling cut off during a phone call, despite not hanging up. The lack of transparency and poor communication resulted in feelings of mistrust and frustration among the reviewers.
Positive Experiences
However, some reviewers had a positive experience with Clarke's Estates. Huszar Zita, Kevin Tomlin, Aziz Rahman, Robert Phillips, and Chris Sprague praised the company's professionalism, helpfulness, and exceptional service. They credited specific staff members, such as Paul and Alex, for their guidance and expertise, which made the renting or selling process easier and less stressful.
