Reliable Estate agency

Have just used Hern and Crabtree to sell 2 homes. Very professional company who respond to enquiries very promptly. A special shout out to Jan in the sales progression team for her dedication to customer service and on getting our last sale over the line! Would strongly recommend.

Really professional

Recently dealt with Hern & Crabtree lettings team (Lance and Phoebe) for the first time. Very responsive and helpful, in contrast with some other letting agents we spoke to. Their online portal was quick and easy to use. Really professional - would certainly recommend.

Top quality service for house renting out

In helping us rent our house out, Hern and Crabtree Lettings in Pontcanna, have been absolutely outstanding. Very helpful and quick to organise what's needed, you couldn't ask for any more from a property management company. Excellent and thoroughly recommended.

Using Hern and Crabtree for both Sales…

Using Hern and Crabtree for both Sales and Lettings has made the moving journey a smooth and easy one. The Lettings team at Pontcanna have been brilliant in taking us through the process of managing our rental property and the communication from the team ever since the tenants have moved in has been excellent. I would highly recommend them for managing property rentals.

Hern and Crabtree have been really reliable and helpful in managing the rental of our property

Hern and Crabtree have been really helpful from start to finish in getting our property rented out. It's been a really quick and easy process and they did all the hard work for us. They've also been really responsive and been a really good conduit between us and the new tenants. I would highly recommend them for managing property rentals.

Highly recommend all staff in Whitchurch!!

All of the staff at Hern and Crabtree in Whitchurch have been helpful and friendly in our experience. Jan Street who is the sales progression manager was particularly helpful. It’s been a stressful experience as we were getting very close to our baby’s due date. Jan was exceptionally helpful, going above and beyond to try to move the process along to completion. I cannot speak highly enough of Hern and crabtree. They are professional and personable and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

First time renting…

This was my first experience of renting a property. Adele was so supportive and gave a first class friendly but professional service; she explained everything and answered my queries, no matter how odd the query! I'm happily moved in!

Excellent service from the Hern and Crabtree team

Hern and Crabtree provided an excellent service throughout the sale of my property. The team was always professional and friendly, providing guidance when required and keeping in regular contact throughout the process. Their help certainly made everything less stressful!

This was my first experience of renting a property. From start to finish Lance gave a first class service. Lance explained everything and made it a breeze! I can’t thank him and his team enough for their help, advice and professional service. Lance’s wealth of knowledge and friendly attitude was outstanding throughout. Thank you so much Lance and team lettings!

Letting

Hern and Crabtree have been absolutely fantastic. The team dealt with everything promptly and very professionally. The whole process ran smoothly from the moment I have identified the flat that I want to let to when I moved in. The agents have listened to my needs and dealt with all my requests in a timely manner. I cannot recommend enough!

As I was a first time landlord I very much appreciated the regularity and clarity of communications I received to “walk me through” the process.
Contacts were delivered in both a professional and friendly manner and I was given the strong impression that nothing was too much trouble.

Brilliant, friendly and supportive team

We’re first time buyers and the team at Hern and Crabtree were so brilliant. They weren’t pushy or overly “salesy” at all. They completely supported us throughout the whole process, kept us up to date on a regular basis and helped us reach out to the seller and their solicitor when needed. The team were really friendly and we would highly recommend them.

We have been very pleased with the way our house sale was handled. Viewings were quickly arranged and the sale was agreed within 4 days. We were supported throughout the whole process from our initial contact with Owen through to completion and key handover. Thank you to all who helped us.

We sold and brought through Hern and Crabtree and cannot recommend them enough. We initially spoke to Rhodri. He went through the whole sales process, wasn’t pushy and knew his stuff. Due to his personable nature we chose to go through him. Mike then came round and took amazing pictures. Gavin was highly involved in finding a property, and again was really really helpful. And to top it off, Jan in sale progression accepted nearly daily calls to calm me down and explain and help beyond what we would have expected. We genuinely can’t recommend them enough. Amazing company, amazing people and all round stars. If you want to go through the whole process with minimal stress whilst not surrounded by pushy stereotypes choose Hern and Crabtree. They definitely practice what they preach.

Fast Results

Lance and the team jumped into action to help me get my property rented they were superb.I had urgency in my needs for a tenant and they matched that with the same urgency. I had a tenant sorted in less than 10 working days. I've now been using them for 6 years - I'll never move. The only team I'd use in Cardiff.

Very Professional Letting Agents

I have worked with Hern + Crabtree for a number of years, first in selling a house in 2007, and then letting out our next property for the last 8 years. In recent years, Lance Robertson has been my main contact. I have the highest regard for Lance and his Team. They are not only professional, responsive, courteous and diligent, but equally important for tenants, they are very objective and balanced in their advice and actions. I have no hesitation in recommending Hern + Crabtree's Letting services.

Top guy Lance!

I have been communicating with lance recently as we are moving, Lance has worked above and beyond for me with various questions I have asked and even down to sorting out my parcels that had been left at our property, Lance has always been professional and polite and is a credit to your company

A bit Lazy

I had considered going down the DIY way to sell a house, I wish i had done. H and C did hardly any work as properties in certain areas of cardiff sell as soon as they are marketed. Communication was not brilliant and when i asked questions such as why are things taking so long , the answer was "thats how long they take".
I would not use them again as I felt they were a bit lazy .They asked for feedback, not by saying how did you find your experience but," Could you take 60 seconds and share your happy experiences " Mine were not so happy but you did ask.

Hi Paul, we are sorry to hear that your experience hadn't lived up to expectations. We did reach out via TrustPilot asking for you to get in touch with some more information as to which property it might have been related to so that we'd be able investigate further but we have not heard back from you. Selling a home can be a very stressful time as we do our best to accommodate all parties with open communication. We have all just experienced a very testing time with COVID-19, where all elements of the house move are taking much longer. Unfortunately we are governed by many external factors such as solicitors, banks, searches, surveyors and buyers too, which for many different reasons can contribute to longer timescales than normal. If you would like to let us know a bit more on your experience so that we might be able to address any issues you may have had then please let us know by contacting the area manager on: rhodri@hern-crabtree.co.uk - Best wishes, Mike

Great overall experience, fantastic customer service

We experienced fantastic customer service as prospective tenants from both Lance and Adele over the last couple of months. Both went out of their way to help us after our first choice property fell through at short notice before moving in. Very polite, efficient and friendly. Would highly recommend them to other tenants.
