I never give 1 star every I was look to rant property from them but I they took 400pouds for secure deposit we give all perform they ask and after they are tell out guarantor to give his online banking and HMRC access they are totally lied every single calls we provide them a payslips ,bank statements,passport,everything but they just forcing us to give all our personal access so please don’t trust them they are saying it’s secure but who knows what happens someone uses your data and now you can’t trust anyone now days bank says don’t give your OTP to anyone and this people they ask you to give full online banking access and HMRC access.jayne neill and her Manager they both are forced us to give details and when we told them we can give all documents you need but we refused to give online banking access so they declined our application and they took our deposit now they are refusing to give money back as well I was renting property from 15 years and not any agency ask your online access so be careful with this guys you can’t trust to spend your money. She is so nice on fist meeting but after in every call she is saying this is ok everything is fine and then 2 days she will not contact you after she come back and say I need this and that after confirming everything done she needs only banking access.simple thing if you want to check our earnings that one you can check with our payslip and in bank statements you don’t need online banking access whatever you want this is all in this document.so guys there is lots of other agencies in uk you can go but don’t give your account details or HMRC details to anyone you don’t know how they are using your information. They will try to convince that it’s secure but you don’t know the third party when something happens no one will take responsibility everything will come to you on your behalf so be careful.

Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to read that you feel this way about your experience. It is never our intention for any landlord or tenant to feel unsupported, and we take comments regarding communication and service standards seriously.
With regard to communication within the office, we operate with separate departments for sales, lettings and property management to ensure compliance and specialist handling of different matters. While this structure is designed to improve efficiency and professionalism, we appreciate that if communication is not seamless from a client’s perspective, it can feel frustrating — and for that, we apologise.
In relation to outstanding bills, TV licence inspections, or contact from third-party collection agents, these are not matters that are initiated by us. Utility accounts, council tax and television licensing are the responsibility of the tenant during their tenancy period. Where providers have not been notified or accounts remain unpaid, they will pursue the named occupier directly.
Regarding the notice period, you acknowledged that the short notice given was partly your responsibility. In those circumstances, we are obliged to follow the terms of the tenancy agreement, including rent due and contractual commission arrangements. That said, our role is also to guide on best practice, and we regret if you feel that support around the check-out and inventory process was not as clear as it could have been.
As a regulated agency, we must act in accordance with contractual and legal obligations — not simply preference — and this can sometimes be perceived as being “company-centric,” when in reality it is about compliance and applying agreements consistently.
We genuinely value constructive feedback and are pleased that you found our Sales Director helpful. We wish you the very best moving forward.

Lawrence Rand at Ruislip Manor is a terrible estate agent. I have been with them for four years as tenants, they are never helpful with anything. I have left 15 days leaving the property in perfect condition, landlord is still holding my deposit with no reason. Do avoid a ground floor apartment at Garden Close, it’s a freezing and mouldy apartment and the landlord will never do anything they promised.

We're sorry you feel this way after four years with us. Deposit matters are handled through the government-approved deposit scheme, which decides any dispute independently.

Ignorance and exploitation of the client
A random life situation happened to me and I had to give up the flat I had booked by paying £311. I cancelled a two weeks in advance. They don't look at customers as people just as a source of profit. They are only interested in how they can make money and when they are supposed to do something from themselves you suddenly lose contact with them. When the agency had business with me, they would call me all the time, unfortunately it doesn't work the other way round, especially when it comes to refunding money. According to law it’s up to the agency to decide whether money will be paid out and how much, but the government advises to be fair and look at the circumstances… I lost a job and was left without a place to live since I couldn’t prove one of the tickboxes for their flat application and £100 refund is not fair in this situation.
I asked for time to explain my situation - I did not get it. I asked for a larger share of the deposit and nobody replied to my messages. Jacek

Dear Jacek,
Thank you for your review.
We are sorry to hear about the difficult personal circumstances you experienced. Losing employment and facing uncertainty around housing is understandably stressful, and we do not take situations like that lightly.
With regard to the £311 paid, this would have been a holding deposit taken in line with the Tenant Fees Act 2019. Under the legislation, a holding deposit can be retained in certain circumstances, including where a tenant withdraws from the application or is unable to meet the referencing criteria required for the tenancy. These rules are set by law and are not discretionary in the way suggested.
In your case, the property was withdrawn from the market while referencing was carried out, and the landlord incurred lost marketing time during that period. When you informed us that you would not be proceeding, the matter was reviewed and a partial refund of £100 was issued as a gesture of goodwill, despite the legal position allowing for retention.
We do not view clients as “a source of profit.” Our responsibility is to apply the legislation consistently and fairly, while also protecting the landlord’s position when a property has been reserved and removed from the market.
That said, we are sorry if you felt communication could have been clearer at the time. We genuinely wish you well and hope your circumstances have since improved.

Disappointing experience
They are one of local real estate agents in Ruislip. I'd following interactions with them for property for sell in Ruislip manor so far and didnt find too impressive:
1. One property which was advertised for sell for viewing in Ruislip manor. Tried reaching 5-6 times, but never got appointment.The agent always said same thing that they will get back with viewing appointment and never reached back.
2. Scheduled one viewing appointment but I'd to cancel because of property's layout .
3. Scheduled another viewing appointment . Person arrived late and when reached asked us to start viewing from right door which was closed. As soon as my spouse and 2 year opened door, dog came jumping on my child scaring her and made her burst into tears. I'd to leave then and there.My trip was wasted.
4. I found the layouts mentioned by the architects is always including garage so finding exact carpet area is always challenging.
What I liked?
1. Their informative sheets and 360 degree view of each property though the information is not always perfectly right .

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We’re sorry to hear that aspects of your interaction didn’t meet expectations. Your feedback is important and helps us continue to improve our service.
To make things easier and more convenient, all our property viewings can now be booked and cancelled directly online via our website. We understand that many clients prefer to manage appointments digitally, and we’ve adapted to meet that demand by offering full access to available slots, confirmations, and cancellations at your fingertips.
Regarding the unfortunate incident with the dog at one of the properties—while we always advise our clients to take pets out for a walk during viewings, there are occasions where this isn’t followed, and unfortunately, this is outside of our control. Nonetheless, we completely understand how upsetting the experience must have been for your family and especially your child, and we’re very sorry that happened.
We're pleased to hear you found our 360-degree tours and marketing materials helpful and take your comments on accuracy seriously. We will continue refining this to give buyers the clearest possible view of each property.
Thank you again for your honest feedback.
Tried to charge us a fee that's been…
Tried to charge us a fee that's been outlawed by the Tenant Fees Act. Would recommend you avoid them since they are unable to follow basic rules, who knows what else they aren't doing correctly.
Edit: Since they're claiming that my review is incorrect, here's the evidence of them trying to charge an extra day's rent for keys. I'd love to hear what your own compliance officer thinks of your actions.
From Lawrence Rand:
"just a reminder you will be charged each day the keys are not in our posession from the 1st September. thanks Regards, Lawrence Rand"
From the landlord:
"The letting agency told me to deduct one days rent for returning the keys late"
Second edit since they keep changing their response:
“Where keys are not returned on the agreed tenancy end date, the tenancy legally continues”
This is untrue, the tenancy ends on the contractual date irrespective of the location of the keys. The property was vacated before the end date of the lease, and the keys were mailed back to you arriving in the morning on September 2nd. Your office told us that you would charge us from the 1st of September, a date in which the property was still contractually ours - yet another mistake by Lawrence Rand. Please revise your policies to be compliant with the law, not what you’d like it to be, especially with the Renters Rights Act coming into force later this year.

Thank you for your review.
We would like to clarify the position regarding your comments.
The Tenant Fees Act 2019 prohibits certain fees being charged to tenants. However, rent remains payable up to the end of the tenancy and until vacant possession is returned. Where keys are not returned on the agreed tenancy end date, the tenancy legally continues, and rent is due for each day until the keys are returned and possession is given back. This is not a “fee” — it is daily rent under the tenancy agreement.
Our email reminder was intended to make this clear and to avoid any misunderstanding about liability once the tenancy end date had passed. It is standard practice across the industry and is a matter of contract and housing law, not an additional or prohibited charge.
The landlord’s comment reflects the same position: rent is calculated up to the date the keys are returned. This ensures clarity for both parties and avoids disputes about when legal possession ended.
We take compliance extremely seriously and operate in line with the Tenant Fees Act and all current lettings legislation. If you would like us to review the timeline with you directly, we are happy to do so.

We’re sorry to hear that you feel disappointed four months into the process.
Buying and selling property can at times feel slow and frustrating, particularly when solicitors are involved and there are multiple parties in a chain. While we do recommend solicitors that many of our clients have used successfully, they are independent firms and clients are always free to choose their own legal representation. We are not responsible for the internal processes or timescales of any solicitor.
That said, we do work closely with all parties to help progress matters as smoothly as possible and to keep communication flowing. If there are specific delays or concerns, we would genuinely welcome the opportunity to review the file and see where we can assist in pushing things forward.
Please feel free to contact the office and ask for a senior member of the team so we can look into your case directly.

Unprofessional and disappointing
Recently I called to book a viewing of bungalow in Ruislip Manor, surprisingly the agent tried his best to put me off from it, upon my insistence he booked a viewing for Saturday, and advised an message us on its way which did not come.two days before viewing he advised that it will be one hour later. On Friday (one day before viewing) he again called and told the bungalow had been sold.
Can a professional estate agent who should look after the interest of sellers would not arrange a viewing and advise the sellers of other interested parties who could offer more that the offer conveyed to them.
Looks very fishy and some thing smells.
Beware sellers I will never appoint them as my selling agent.

Thank you for your review.
We are sorry that you feel frustrated by your experience.
To clarify, when a property is under offer and progressing toward sale, our legal duty is to act in the best interests of our client — the seller — in accordance with their instructions. If a seller accepts an offer and instructs us to proceed, we cannot continue arranging viewings without their consent, particularly if the sale has been agreed or is at an advanced stage.
In some cases, viewings are provisionally booked while negotiations are ongoing, and if a sale is agreed shortly afterwards, those viewings must unfortunately be cancelled. This can understandably be disappointing for buyers, but it reflects the seller’s decision once an acceptable offer has been secured.
There was absolutely nothing “fishy” about the situation. The seller accepted an offer, and once confirmed, we informed applicants accordingly. That is standard practice across the industry.
We appreciate that it is frustrating to miss out on a property, especially at short notice, but we can assure you that we act in line with our professional and legal obligations at all times.

Outstanding local, friendly and efficient estate agents
I cannot write highly enough of Lawrence Rand, who recently managed the sale of our home in Eastcote. From the very start they gave us excellent advice on what asking price to set, they marketed our house actively even during Lockdown, on the day that viewings recommenced they lined up 4 viewings and we had an offer in 2 days; they regularly kept us up to date during the following weeks, doing all the heavy lifting as regards contacting our buyers and our sellers' agent to ensure everything kept moving and especially over the last critical period leading to exchange. All the staff were fantastic but the agent assigned to us - Graham - deserves special mention. A totally committed and reliable guy.

As a landlord, Lawrence Rand has made the letting experience stress free. I’ve let two properties in 2020 and dealt with Mandeep and more recently Rebecca.

Myself and my partner were trying to get ourselves booked into view a few properties with this agency, we called on the basis that someone would give us a ring back, day 1- no call so we chased with again a promise for a call back, day 2- no call, again we chased, day 3- can you guess the outcome? again no call, day 4- we chased again and surprise surprise no response, come day 5 now I called to make a complaint with a very undelightful sales agent on the end of the phone that didn't seem bothered at all with the feedback given.
Not very welcoming from a letting agency at all, so we decided to take opur interest elsewhere.
