After spending many months looking for a suitable apartment for a long term (eg: 3 years or more) tenancy I thought I'd found one through Appointmoor. After viewing it in person it was clear the apartment had lots of wear and tear (badly needed re-painting, fridge bulb missing, bathroom grouting crumbling, kitchen cupboard door off its hinge and other odd jobs) so agreed with the agent this would all be fixed prior to moving in. Incidentally, to show our commitment we offered not only the rental deposit but 3 or 6 months rent upfront.
The landlord opted for 6 months so a bank payment was made. On moving day not one of the promised jobs had been done. Appointmoor then claimed we accepted the flat in its undecorated state and nothing more would be done. So my advice is to think long and hard if you want to deal with that level of unprofessionalism. Sadly, it's not enough these days to verbally trust agents like that. Luckily, the apartment inventory which was done independently plus time stamped photos will ensure we at least get the deposit after the minimum term. The inventory also promises some work to be done after the moving in date so that will be watched with interest.

Appointmoor acted for the vendors of a house we were buying during a recent house move (August 2021). At a time when solicitors were overwhelmed and at times unresponsive, they could always be relied on to respond to my queries and help to move matters along in a very busy property market. Particular thanks to Rebecca (Sales Progressor).

The lettings team have been amazing from start to finish. Nothing has been too much trouble. Very professional and helpful in every way. I highly recommend Zak and his wonderful team, especially Charlotte who has been especially understanding with our situation. Thank you so much for everything you have done to make things as easy as possible.

Best day of my life leaving Appointmoor Estates! Our flat had a falling down bay extension, rotten floor boards, danergously high electricity, a broken boiler that NEVER had a gas safe check (they said someone can to do it, funny that as the dates they said they came were when we were all locked in in lockdown!), leaks left right and centre and Appointmoor did nothing!
I had to threaten to take the landlord and Appointmoor to court for them to do anything! The icing on the cake: they asked for bank details and meter readings to pay our deposit back. Over two months post evacuation of the property and still no deposit as they said they don't have our bank details! In other words STAY CLEAR!

Estate agents with zero compassion.com I put down a deposit on a flat which later fell through due to the landlord pulling out as works could not be completed in time. So it was in no way my fault or problem. Unfortunately this agency didn't see it that way and tried to literally steal our deposit. They felt entitled to hundreds of pounds of our money and actually laughed in me and my partner's face when we went into the office to try and reason with them, two days before Christmas day.
They weren't laughing for long. I rang the landlord and explained what had happened to us after he had pulled out and he was so disgusted. He rang the owner and threatened to pull ALL his properties from their books if they didn't give us back our money. If he hadn't done that we would have lost hundreds to these people. It was their attitude that shocked me the most. Laughing at people is quite insane. For this reason I would not use Appointmoor estates and recommend you avoid it too. I wouldn't want anyone else to have this experience

Would just like to say a huge thank you to Mike at Appointmore for doing such a fabulous job of selling our home quickly and for full asking price. We wouldn't sell our home with another estate agent but Appointmore. We cannot recommend them enough Mike is a credit to Appointmore and an absolutely fantastic estate agent. Many thanks to Rebecca also for seeing through the sale. What a lovely team of people. Chelsea & Andy x

You often hear horror stories about how complicated and long winded buying a property can be, especially as I'm an inexperienced first time buyer. I too believed this to be true until I had the pleasure of buying my first home through Appointmoor recently. My first viewing was lead by Mike who was extremely knowledgeable and informative. He put my mind at rest with any questions about the property until my offer was put in.
Upon it being accepted (hooray!), I was introduced to Rebecca who I cannot praise enough. She kept me regularly updated on the sales process and communicated with the solicitors on my behalf - as I work full time this was a great time saver! I'm due to pick up my keys this week and can't thank the Appointmoor team enough. I'd certainly recommend their services and will be using them in the future.

Thank you to all at Appointmoor who were involved in the sale of my elderly mother's flat in Westcliff. Appointmoor were our second choice initially but following 8 weeks of inactivity from another agent, Mike, Amy and the team were a breath of fresh air. The whole process was managed with understanding and flexibility, working around mum's wishes to arrange viewings and negotiate the sale and move. Very grateful to all involved and would recommend Appointmoor highly.

Very impressed with Appointmoor. Excellent marketing and they found a buyer very quickly, but the transaction then proved very challenging. Rebecca had to work very hard for several months with constant frustration to get to comptetion, but we got there in the end. On that basis I would recommend Appointmoor without hesitation.

Wonderful Stress Free service. Sophie answered all our constant questions and put our mind at rest about our concerns, she made us feel calm and stress free about the move. We were made to feel important and valued by her and Appointmore Estates at all times. The rental went very smoothly and everyone was professional and friendly. Appointmoor Estates have always been a lovely helpful estate agents and we have never had any problems in renting property through them over the years.

We have just exchanged as buyers with Appointmoor as agents. It's been a really long process over 10 months but Appointmoor, and Mike and Marilyn in particular have been excellent. From arranging the first viewing, the offering process through to the day of exchange, they've kept us and our solicitors informed, we've never had to chase, all calls and emails are always answered quickly - this considering they technically "work" for the seller and not the buyer.
We've dealt with a lot of agents in the last year while trying to buy and could not say enough about Appointmoor - professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely look to use them as our agents if we are ever selling.

I cannot recommend Appointmoor enough. This is my first time renting and after the way I was first treated by another local Estate Agent, I wish I'd used Appointmoor from the start. I dealt with Zak & Cheryl who were both extremely professional from start to finish. They were friendly, helpful and made the whole experience problem free. Will definitely be using them again if I ever need to move.

I was renting a property from Appointmoor for about a year, It was time for my contract to be renewed so I rung up to get it sorted it took me 7 calls and still nothing was done. I was constantly promised they would send me a new contract every time so I went in store and refused to leave till I got a new one. The manager assured me it would be sorted so I left.
Guess what nothing happened! I had 3 years like this. I even had an abusive call when I asked about having a dog. I was asking for their permission and was spoken down to like I was dirt. The worst part was when I said i was leaving due to their unwelcoming service that made me not want to be their anymore. I gave them a call and said I am leaving is there anything you need me to do and they said all they need to do is give a months notice I then said that i'm leaving now is that ok for notice? She (amy) said yes I then said is there anything else i need to do and I was told that everything was fine. Guess what. They refused yours ex tenants from 42 tintern avenue

I used Appointmoor for the sale of a relative's house. They had good knowledge and experience of local property values and the house was sold very near to the asking price within a relatively short time. I was very pleased with the way that Appointmoor handled the sale and they were in regular contact. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm.
