CrookandBlight: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Anthony was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly helpful. He always made himself available to answer questions and kept communication clear and timely, which made what can often be a stressful experience feel much smoother and more manageable. His knowledge of the property and the local area was excellent. What really stood out was how approachable and supportive he was. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and he genuinely cared about making sure everything went well for both sides. I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. His professionalism, reliability, and positive attitude made the whole experience a very positive one.
Fantastic experience: The lettings team at Crook & Blight, especially Becky and Aimee, provided a friendly, approachable and helpful service and worked tirelessly to find suitable tenants for our rental property. Thanks very much for all your hard work.
Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough of this company, not only did they sell our house within 48 hours of it going on the market but they also found us our dream home. George, James and Anthony have given outstanding service , friendly and professional and the whole team have kept us updated every step of the way. They are a marvellous team and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Crook and Blight.
Negative experience: We were shown a property with an Agent called George who was by far the worst estate agent ive had the pleasure of meeting. He did not formally introduce himself, no handshakes and we (myself and partner) felt as though he had made judgments on us instantly. He did not answer a single question in relation to the property, could not answer basic questions such as how long the sellers had lived at the property! He did not show any real passion to sell the house. Showed the company in a very poor light.
Fantastic experience: Anthony showed us round a house today. He was a really friendly and knowledgeable chap, he gave us plenty of time to look round and had some great local knowledge too.
Fantastic experience: Very efficient in getting in touch after making an enquiry and always offer viewings to properties they advertise
Fantastic experience: A great experience kept updated at all times and a big shout out to Ellie- May who answered all my questions promptly and was very helpful
Fantastic experience: Rented a place through C&B in Newport for the last 6.5 years, and they've been fantastic. Special shout out to Becky who has always been amazing, prompt responses, and very helpful.
Negative experience: Tried letting my flat for 3 months, highly unprofessional team, unable to responsibility, not to be trusted. Handed the letting to another agency in Newport.
Fantastic experience: Becky and all the team I dealt with were amazing from start to finish, they made the process extremely easy and we’re always on hand to help with any queries.
Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Service & Excellent Communication Throughout I’ve had a really positive experience with Crook & Blight during my house sale. The level of communication and support I received was excellent from start to finish. Every time I needed an update, they got back to me quickly and clearly, and I always felt like I knew exactly where things stood. Ellie-Mai in particular has been amazing — friendly, patient, and always on top of things. She chased the buyer’s solicitor without me even having to ask, kept me updated at every stage, and genuinely made a stressful process feel much easier. It’s rare to find an agent who communicates this well, and I really appreciated the effort. I would happily use Crook & Blight again in the future. They’ve been reliable, proactive, and very supportive throughout the whole process. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Ellie-Mai and the team at large are friendly, efficient and make things very simple, jargon-free and understandable. Your every query is answered within minutes! I can't speak highly enough of them all. This isn't an easy process, but I have felt backed throughout this with the team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your tireless work.
Fantastic experience: We sold our flat with Crook and Blight who have all been incredible. Especially Ellie- Mai who has been absolutely wonderful. Ellie’s fast responses and positive attitude has been so greatly appreciated. She has willingly and enthusiastically answered any questions and queries that we have had, and has always been on hand to calm our nerves and ensure that this process was as smooth as possible for us and our buyer. Thank you so much, Ellie-Mai. We really appreciate you :) Mrs and Mr Hawkins.

Fantastic experience: We viewed a property with Crook and Blight. Anthony showed us around the property - he was great. Very informative and helpful with any questions we had.
Fantastic experience: Becky was Very helpful! Everything well explained. Special thanks for making everything simpler. Much admiration for such professionalism
Fantastic experience: We have had an incredibly positive experience, first with Anthony at the viewing and now with Becky who has been so helpful in guiding us swiftly and efficiently through the various processes. Most appreciated!
Fantastic experience: Anthony has shown us around two homes since we have been looking. Anthony is very welcoming, honest and does not rush you looking around. Anthony is polite and talks to you more than if you are a number, we have had our baby with us both times and he has always made a conscious effort to acknowledge her. Really nice person and makes viewing properties a lot less stressful :)
Fantastic experience: Crook and Blight (C&B) did a great job for us selling our house. James Crook visited to provide a valuation and some advice on landscaping work, that would increase the appeal of the property, which was much appreciated. Following completion of that work the property was very promptly marketed and C&B were quickly able to generate a lot of interest. This resulted in a sale at the asking price (a slick piece of sales negotiation by Ellie-Mai) within a very short period. The sale progressed smoothly through to completion. All stages of the sale process were handled promptly and very professionally. I wholeheartedly recommend C&B's services. Many thanks for all of their help to James, Holly, Nieve, Becky, George and Ellie-Mai. A job well done!

I am currently in the process of purchasing the property i was renting and i have to add everyone there has been amazing in helping me through the process. Such good customer service is a rare thing indeed
Fantastic experience: We’ve had a really positive experience with Crook and Blight. Becky, Holly, and Aimee in the office were fantastic—always quick to respond to our many questions and very flexible in arranging viewings around our schedule. Anthony showed us around the property on two occasions and was brilliant both times. The first viewing happened when our daughter was in hospital, and he was very considerate—highlighting the key points of the property so we could get back to her quickly. On the second visit, when our daughter joined us, Anthony was just as patient and engaging, even taking the time to answer all her enthusiastically babbled “questions.” Since moving in, any queries or issues have been handled promptly, and the maintenance team has always been polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. Overall, the whole team at Crook and Blight made the process smooth and stress-free. I would happily recommend them to family and friends.

Fantastic experience: We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Crook and Blight team. Our house sold on the very first viewing, thanks to George's brilliant work in listing the house online and helping us prepare to list it, as well as the agent that did the viewing on the day. A special mention goes to Holly, who has been exceptional throughout the entire process. Her support, dedication and clear communication are the reason we got through to exchange of contracts when we did. We felt supported by the Crook and Blight team every step of the way and we couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I live in the USA and had the pleasure of working with Crook and Blight Estate Agents. My estate agent James Crook and Ellie Mai Evans, the sales progressor, are an exceptional team that handled the sale of my plot of land on Ridgeway Hill in Newport, Wales. Crook and Blight handled all the online marketing for the plot of land, including on their own website and two other top property platforms. James and Ellie Mai sifted through numerous enquiries to identify the one serious buyer who ultimately completed the purchase. Throughout the process, James and Ellie Mai were excellent communicators, providing great advice on pricing and marketing strategies and coordinating with the buyer and solicitor. While I remained in the USA throughout the whole process, Crook and Blight took care of everything, including finding me a landscaper to periodically mow the plot and keep the property looking attractive in the residential neighbourhood. I highly recommend you choose Crook and Blight Estate Agents; they are excellent!
Fantastic experience: Antony showed us around some properties in Newport. He was very professional yet friendly and very relatable. He leaves such a good impression and I think he is a good representative of crook&blight.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service and very helpful. Great communication. Every issue I ever had was always easy to resolve. Very polite and friendly too. When needed I've always spoke with Becky Quinn and she has always been so helpful and professional.
Fantastic experience: We have been using Crook & Blight for the sale of our property and have found, from start to finish, their service and support truly fantastic. Ellie-Mai, in particular, has been so helpful and supportive in guiding us through the process of selling our first home. She's reliable, friendly and efficient and I couldn't recommend her/the team more. I feel the company's family values really stand testament to the excellent service they provide.
Fantastic experience: Very quick responses and so friendly and helpful. I'm convinced that they're the best letting agents in Newport. The properties they manage are a superb standard too. Becky has been outstanding as our Senior Lettings Negotiator for our property.
Fantastic experience: Have been dealing with Elena when searching for our next home snd shes been wondderful! Always polite and professional and responds to queries quickly and efficiently and helped us when negotiating a sale price. Great service so far, a credit to C&B!
Fantastic experience: Becky at Crooke and Blight has gone above and beyond to help me being a landlord of a property in Newport. Living so far away as I do she has worked so hard to organise getting the property compliant with the new Welsh laws. She has also arranged the electric certificate and E P C certificate all during a period where the company she works for were not receiving any commission. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of using a letting agent to contact Becky who takes away all the stress of navigating all the legislation and compliance issues. Ian Mashford
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, very professional and supportive with in depth knowledge of the local property market. A particular mention to Ellie-Mai who handled the sales process seamlessly and kept me fully informed throughout. A large number of viewings were arranged very quickly which resulted in multiple offers and an excellent price. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Great service! Just signed with them for a rental and Alice, Anthony & Becky have been extremely helpful, responsive and informative throughout the whole process. Alice has been stellar dealing with my queries during the application, and Anthony has been very helpful and knowledgeable about the property during the check-in Edit: Just got my partner added to the Occupational Contract. Thanks to Becky everything was handled smoothly and promptly. During the last 1.5y in the property, she's always been quick to reply and to help solve issues I had, excellent service.
Negative experience: edit: still finding water damage. Spent around 30K now and having to hire professional dehumidifier too. It should be illegal to sell properties like this pretending it's livable. So dissapointed. Sold us a house with 20K worth of repais in hidden faults. Looked dry and good when we visited both times. Had a friend property consultant point out some obvious minor repairs and no major concerns. As soon as we moved in the house started to become damp and overgrown with mold. They must have been drying it out and getting it cleaned up before our visits?!... I was already pregnant and my baby was born with a heart problem needing surgery probably due to unhealthy living conditions...avoid avoid avoid
Fantastic experience: Had a booking with Anthony today, made me feel real comfy and my girlfriend, banter was top notch and was openly honest! Credit to your company! P.s See you soon when that gardens done
Fantastic experience: Viewed a property this afternoon with the amazing Sam! She was so knowledgeable about the property and area, she really put us at ease the second we walked through the door! Answered all our questions and ones we hadn’t even thought about! Didn't rush us through the viewing probably one of the best viewings of a house we have had so far! an absolute credit to crook and blight! She was a breath of fresh air thank you Sam!
Fantastic experience: All the staff at Crook and Blight are very helpful but Ellie-Mai has been exceptional during a current, challenging sales transaction. Trying to get information from the conveyancers has been difficult and not forthcoming, Ellie-Mai with her pro-active determination on behalf of the client managed to prise the information out and communicated it directly and efficiently Well done
Fantastic experience: viewed the property, Anthony showed us around he was very helpful and polite. The correspondence with the office was very good and quick to respond, very happy with the service
Fantastic experience: We’ve had two viewings with Crook and Blight Estate Agents and both experiences have been exceptional. Anthony, in particular, has been fantastic throughout the process—friendly, approachable, and incredibly helpful. His professionalism and attention to detail makes the viewings easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Crook and Blight to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly, and efficient estate agent. Thanks again to Anthony and the team for their excellent service!
Fantastic experience: Anthony was so knowledgeable regarding both properties I viewed today! An excellent agent, an asset to the company, booked a second viewing on one of the properties, thank you so much for your help highly recommend working with Crook & Blith
Fantastic experience: I am so happy for the service offered by Anthony on Friday, he has that patience needed by someone like me, who did not know a lot of things in UK,I highly recommend CrookandBlight , best service. Thank you Anthony! ☺️
Negative experience: A one star is simply because after months of unnecessary delays caused by this estate agent we got the house we purchased. Though we were the purchasers through this estate agent , it was clear that they have absolutely zero interest in customer care and were not interested in caring for a purchaser of a property that they are trying to sell. Every customer call we didn’t have our appointed staff member available & had to leave messages which were not passed on or miscommunicated. We had an inquiry about the property during the purchase and had a very clear request from our solicitor; that the seller needed to get building regs certification at their cost . Through the total inadequacy of any understanding of this request we ended up with 8 weeks of delay and the seller being misunderstood on actions they were required to do to . Also this estate agent telling the seller that they didn’t need to pay for a survey that would be .. incorrectly our … responsibility. Fortunately our solicitor went above & beyond for us and got everything resolved. This however was not the end of the saga as this estate agent did not correctly complete with keys & lied to our solicitors that they had keys for the property when they did not . This was completion without possession and an absolutely sickening situation to be in. When we got to the office to physically get the keys we were not even acknowledged . Simply shoved an envelope saying that she didn’t know what key was for what . The absolute cheek that overall there was no apologies given and no congratulations… this is not just lacking customer service but basic civil manners. I would never sell or view a house with estate agent.
Fantastic experience: Crook & Blight were the letting agents when I was renting from a private landlord. Always helpful and Anthony who would come and do the regular inspections always put forward any issues I was having
Fantastic experience: Thank you Crook and Blight Newport estate agents, especially to Ellie -Mai who worked very hard for us in a difficult situation. You impressed our solicitor with your efforts. We appreciated it. Teresa & Steve Bliss
Fantastic experience: A great experience buying from Crook and Blight Newport. Ellie- Mai was incredible at helping us get to completion and never hesitated to answer any questions I had. An asset to the team, a wonderful person and kept me calm during a stressful process. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend. Hannah xx
Negative experience: Feel sorry for the vendors of Marshfield Road selling their house with this agent. We have never experienced such difficulty in booking a viewing on a property. We enquired via rightmove and after much going back and forth, we confirmed viewing times to then be advised they were taken. I actually called the agents and advised of the difficulty we were having with communication and Holly had said people were on sick leave and maternity so things were slower than usual but would move things around to get us booked in and call me back. I never had that call nor a reply to my email again attempting to view this house. Whilst we appreciate they may be short staffed, the service shouldn't fall below standard and it has here. We have accepted an offer on our property and out of the houses we have seen, this house was our favourite but given how horrendous the communication and service has been, we are massively frustrated and now put off. We would have likely offered on this house but the barriers we have faced already give us huge alarm bells for proceeding with any sale with these agents. AVOID!!!!
