" An outstanding experience "
I had an outstanding experience working with Valencia as my property manager while securing my first rental. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail made the process smooth and hassle-free. She went above and beyond to address any concerns promptly and ensured everything was handled efficiently. It's clear that she genuinely cares about her clients and the properties she manages. Her dedication and exceptional service made all the difference, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-tier property management.

"This is the worst estate agent ever"
I have had dealings with many estate agents in my life and have never had the misfortune to deal with one as dreadful as Truepennys.
AT first glance they seem like a nice friendly efficient set up, but in reality they really are the worse ever.
I had my house on and off the market for a couple of years and I nearly used them in 2022, I live nearly two hundred miles away and so I entrusted them with keys to my London home. Their commission was 1% which was what I had been quoted elsewhere. On the day the photographer came I was assured the then Manager would be present with the photographer, but it seems he was just given the key, whilst there caused havoc and left the house without setting the alarm. I was in effect lied to.
Hence I decided against using them on that occasion.
Two years on and the said manager had left. I had been with another agent whom I was pleased with, but felt I needed to refresh and change agents, so I approached Truepennys and a pleasant young chap in the office, said their new manager was working from home this weekend, but he said she'll contact you later today, this was 10am on a Friday, no call came by 4pm, so i popped back in and he said that's odd, I'll message her again, whilst there I asked him their current commission rate, he said its still 1% , his Boss Ryan was also present this time.
I awaited her call. It hadn't come by Monday so at noon I instructed another agent.
She called about 2 hours later, I said sorry you're a bit late, she said at least let me come and see you and tell you about our marvellous team, I agreed and she was coming about 5.30 to 6pm, she arrived late!
During our conversation I said your commission is 1% isn't it, she said no we never charge 1%, its 1.5%, I said well the guy in the office told me 1% in front of your boss Ryan, she said he shouldn't have told you that, so again I said well I'll stick with the other agent thank you.
I was happy with the chosen agent but after 6 months decided to give the property a rest from the market with a view to going back on with the same agent after a break. Virtually a week after if was off market, Truepennys approached me and suggested they could do an off market viewing as they felt they had clients who might like my house.
I had nothing to lose, so I thought why not.
Three viewings were conducted back to back with me present as they didn't have a key, the first of these made an offer, which I turned down, then he raised his offer and I accepted.
This was £10,000 under the asking price of £550,000, but I thought at least its finally sold.
But at that stage, I was still not a signed up vendor with Truepennys, She again told me their commission was 1.5% but she would discount it to 1.25%, I felt they had got me over a barrel as they had a buyer, so I reluctantly agreed to 1.25%.but I requested no sold board as I didn't want anyone to know until it had exchanged contracts, especially the neighbours, as it had been sold before and fallen through and I didn't want to jinx it.
Unbelievably three weeks in, Truepennys hand delivered a letter to some 28 of my neighbours with a pic of my house, claiming 'SOLD OVER ASKING PRICE ON FIRST VIEWING' incensed by this I asked her to write again to everyone and suggest this had been sent in error, she said they could do that, but of course it never happened.
Also I said in view of that I want compensation in the form of the commission being reduced back to what I was initially quoted i.e. 1%, that was a decision for the boss Ryan to deal with but he ignored my letter, and I had to write again to ask him to reply then when he did, he felt they had done nothing wrong and I spent the next six weeks corresponding, but each time his response was to make me feel like I had done something wrong. He initially said the commission remains at 1.25%, I said be in no doubt, this sale will not progress further unless you meet my requirements, he then offered me £500, I reiterated my stance and was prepared to pull out.
He then finally saw sense and reduced to 1%, but says he stands by his argument that they've done nothing wrong and they did sell over the asking price as the house was marketed with a previous agent a year or so earlier on a guide price £500 - £550,000.
This is completely irrelevant as the marketing price on Truepennys contract is £550,000. FACT.
The man is an idiot and has done himself no favours in behaving as he did towards me.
There are one or two exceptionally nice staff at Truepennys, and those that do good I have the greatest respect for, but sadly it seems the majority do not listen to their clients instructions, the general consensus seems that the truth is rare and they do as they damn well please, the clients wishes are not considered.
I'd never use them again under any circumstances but if you're thinking of selling, there are many great estate agents , but Truepennys is not one of them. You've been warned!
