Choices Reviews 

Good morning, Choices Letting team and Ms. Ebony Ramsey, and to my landlady for her understanding. Following 26 years in the security sector, a recent notification from a contractor regarding the loss of their security contract presented a significant challenge. As a self-employed individual with numerous obligations, this situation was particularly impactful. I communicated my circumstances to Ms. Ebony Ramsey, detailing my transition into a new security role and the subsequent adjustment to my rent payment schedule, which was agreed upon for today. I wished to reiterate the company's commitment to providing assistance when circumstances are clearly communicated. Thank you, Ms. Ebony Ramsey. I wish you a productive day and a successful year.

I have the pleasure to leave a positive review on Choices estate agents. Helen Gasson is extremely switched-on, professional, responsive to calls and emails, and provides great service to clients. I highly recommend.

⭐ 1 STAR — Avoid at all costs! The most stressful, disorganised experience of our lives.
If I could give zero stars, I would. Buying our first home through Choices was supposed to be the most exciting time of our lives — instead, it turned into an absolute nightmare that dragged on for months, full of stress, confusion, and appalling service.
We viewed the house in October while tenants were still living there. We were told they would be out by January at the latest, so we put in our offer based on that timeline. From there, it was downhill.
Communication was awful from start to finish. We had to chase them every single week for updates, and no one ever had a straight answer. At one point, we were suddenly told it had to go to court to remove the tenants — something they "weren’t sure of the outcome of." This completely blindsided us and filled us with anxiety. We were kept in the dark at every stage.
They also recommended their solicitors, AVRillo — do yourself a favour and AVOID THEM TOO. Not only were they expensive, they were inflexible and difficult to deal with. Appointments could only be made during awkward hours (10–11 or 2–3 — can’t even remember, it’s all a blur at this point). As first-time buyers, we were naive, and we were charged for things we didn’t even understand — no proper explanations were given.
The process dragged on for so long that our original mortgage offer expired, and we had to reapply at a much higher interest rate — costing us thousands more in the long run.
When we finally got the keys in mid-May, the property was left in an absolutely disgusting state. We had been promised an end-of-tenancy clean by Choices, which they then tried to deny. I had to fight tooth and nail, with evidence, to get the clean done — and even when it was, it looked like no one had done anything. It was a joke.
I had to literally beg someone from Choices to meet me at the property. What was supposed to be the most exciting day of our lives turned into a complete disaster. The only person who showed any compassion was Jake, and even he couldn’t do anything — it wasn’t his fault, but it’s telling that he was the only one who seemed to care.
After completion, Choices completely washed their hands of us, as did the solicitors. The house wasn’t in the agreed condition at exchange, but they refused to let my partner attend in person and told us we had to accept photos only — again, something we later found out is not standard practice.
To top it all off, it’s now September and they still haven’t collected their “SOLD” sign from outside the property.
We’ve now fully renovated the house and made it a home — and it’s beautiful — but we cannot let the experience we went through slide. Do NOT use Choices. They are unprofessional, disorganised, and seem to care more about closing the sale than treating their buyers with honesty or respect.

I have a new portfolio manager Nicola Dunn. She is always friendly if I need to contact her and she knows the answer to my queries.

As a landlord I appreciate Shiquera Smith's meticulous and helpful condition reports which allow me to address minor wear and tear issues which a long term tenant might not have even noticed or felt it necessary to report for my attention.

Thank you Helen Gasson,for the professionalism! She was very helpful with all the questions and paperwork. Found us a great house, perfect for our family.

I have meet Helen Gasson through the Choices agency, I was looking for a house for me my wife and kid.
I was already more than one month Into the research dealing with more agencies And viewing more properties with no success, and then I meet Helen for a viewing and she took care of us properly. She found for us the perfect house to rent and helped us with everything. Thank you Helen and thank you Choices agency.

Ebony Ramsey was very professional and Understanding.

Very good service, the agent Ebony Ramsey attentive and responsible. Thank you so much ☺️

Fast response which is good for both parties and was clear

I rented a 2-bedroom flat from Choice for 2 years and 4 months, and it was a very positive experience. Everything was handled efficiently, and I was able to move in without any delays. I now require a rental reference letter, and Ebony Ramsey kindly provided me with a letter that includes all the necessary information and details. Thank you, Ebony!

I’ve had a very frustrating experience with Choices Estate Agents. Communication is practically non-existent — they rarely reply to emails or calls, and when they do, it’s only when they want something from you, like a signed contract or payment.

It’s clear their priorities lie in securing their fees rather than supporting or updating their clients. Once they have your signature, the service and responsiveness vanish. It feels incredibly unprofessional and one-sided. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable or transparent estate agent.

This is a scam company who had my property advertised for 2 weeks without any offers, so when I indicated I would try an alternative option, they magically found a tenant saying they had taken a holding deposit & carrying out credit check. The outcome is Choices are the tenant and I don’t receive any payment for 3 months since they take their management fee annually up front even though tenancy agreement has a 6 month break clause & refusing to give me any information of a tenant.
Once they had a sign contract no one was available for queries because “they are all busy at the end of the month “ apparently. Terrible company, I don’t know why they haven’t been exposed before but I will do my best to expose their dodgy tactics fronted by Sam and his cronies. I have taken legal advice and it seem I have a case for being misled and a conflict of interest.

Amber was extremely helpful , polite and efficient.
Would throughly recommend

Shiquerah at Choices was brilliant in responding to my query.

Millie was so helpful , she answered any questions needed . Couldn’t recommend anyone better.

Ebony is proactive and efficient, she has addressed all our concerns with diligence and competence. Thank you very much Ebony.
