Customer service needs improving
We had two viewings arranged through Constables, and unfortunately the overall experience was very frustrating.
For the second property, I initially enquired via Rightmove and received no response. I rang 24 hours later and was told that viewing times hadn’t yet been confirmed but that I would be contacted once they were. After hearing nothing, I rang again another 24 hours later and was told the staff member dealing with the property wasn’t in yet, but that someone would get back to me that day. When I still didn’t hear anything, I rang for a third time the following day, only to be told that all viewing slots had now been filled. I was assured I would be contacted if there were any cancellations. Considering how many times I had chased this, this was extremely frustrating. Thankfully, when we later spoke to Michaela regarding the outcome of Property No. 1, which again we had to ring up about, she managed to squeeze us in for a viewing.
We attended the viewing and met the estate agent, but none of our questions could be answered, including something as basic as whether we would be dealing directly with the landlord or with Constables. As advised, we followed up with an email listing our questions. That was sent Monday morning, and by Friday we still hadn’t received a response. I then had to ring up again to find out the outcome of the property and was told I would receive an email that day. Just two minutes later (literally), I received an email to say we had not been successful.
This experience amounted to very poor customer service. It’s completely fine if we weren’t successful, I would much rather be told promptly so we could move on and explore other options, rather than being left waiting, chasing, and feeling strung along.
It was also interesting to see that the property had been marked as 'let agreed' before the application deadline as well.
