Fantastic experience: Can’t recommend enough! All the team at Red Squirrel have been great. Anything I asked was always sorted so quickly and I really felt that they cared. They took the time to find me the right tenant and kept me informed along the way. Charlie, Stuart, Eileen, Liam and Jorja are a great team and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you!

Negative experience: The more I think about this the more annoyed I get!!! I have cash waiting to buy a red squirrel property yet their customer service is NONEXISTENT. I’m surprised they can actually sell a house!! At this rate she u feel sorry for the sellers who chose and are being failed by them. I made a viewing appointment for them to try and cancel same day. The guy didn’t know anything about the house or lease rent service charge amount so I (capitals) had yo chase THEM 3 times! Each time saying they will get back to me. Ollie then called “we wondered where you were at with the property” UH HELLO! I’m waiting for you, I said I was quite annoyed 3 days had passed and no update was given - he said he had the information for me but he infact didn’t! Again bring told I’ll get a call back 3 weeks and I’m still waiting! It’s not even like it’s a fast time for property so sort it out guys. And apologies to your seller on the property and their next update for losing a sale.

Negative experience: Absolutely avoid using these amateurs. These confirm why estate agents get a bad name. Yes they sold my home but the process was painful. Charlie is a fabulous salesman. you’ll see him once, soon after.. you get passed around the office without any intros to junior colleagues. The Property was Listed wrong to being with which took a while to correct .. beside that I was presented with unnecessary demands to clear the house before exchanging !!?!! I felt pressured by the team members into lowering the price by threats of the buyer pulling out.. when the buyer had already been gazumptd and apparently already sold their house. Didn’t feel looked after .. amateur hour. I would not recommend selling through them. .

Thank you for your feedback, we always take comments seriously and aim to be transparent with everyone who reads our reviews.

We do, however, believe several points in your post are factually incorrect and we’d like to set the record straight for anyone reading.

Key facts and timeline

The property was marketed from 10 May 2025 and the sale completed on 23 September 2025. A full and open marketing campaign of just over four months from launch to completion.

The sale completed at 98.2% of the asking price, which is a strong outcome in the market conditions at the time. We are proud of the result our marketing and negotiation achieved for the vendor.

About the price reduction / offers:

During the sales process the buyers asked for a price reduction. We forwarded that request to our client immediately, because we are legally obliged to pass all offers and enquiries on. Passing an offer to the vendor is not “pestering” by our team, it is our duty and standard professional practice.

The buyers were reasonable throughout the negotiation and the agreed sale terms reflect a fair and properly managed process.

Our approach
We ran a full marketing campaign, conducted viewings, kept the vendor updated throughout, and negotiated directly to achieve the best realistic outcome. Our focus throughout was clear communication, fair handling of offers, and a professional negotiation on behalf of the vendor.

If anything in your review relates to a specific misunderstanding, we’re very happy to discuss it and share the timeline and offer history with the vendor’s permission.

Please contact us directly at [email protected]
so we can talk through the facts.

Negative experience: Used this company in Dec a total disgrace. Rude! couldn't even ask the vendor a question properly had several different answers none were the answer to the question I asked. Once the sale was agreed they didnt care less

Hi Sandra,
I have asked the team if they recognised the name Sandra associated to a buyer in December and none are aware of any.

This does very much sound out of character of our team, however to help us improve and remain at the service standards we expect it would be good for you to give us more detail on this so we can address internally.

If you would like to reach out to management they would be more than happy to hear.

Fantastic experience: Red Squirrel were amazing throughout our house buying process, as first time buyers we were totally new and didn’t know what to expect. The Red Squirrel team were always prompt, helpful and friendly helping us every step of the way. We were surprised by a welcome gift from both Red Squirrel and the vendor, plus the little red squirrel key chain they gave us on our keys really made the experience special. Still pinching ourselves that we have bought our first home, something we thought might never happen! 10/10 service thank you Red Squirrel

Matt Brett Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: This review has been amended after receiving a threat of legal proceedings from Red squirrel. We rented with red squirrel, which was okay. Not great, just okay. Minimal contact. We were then informed of the landlords intention to sell the property, in no way is this red squirrels fault, it happens. The preceeding events is why my review is what it is. Unprofessional, rude, condescending, disrespectful: these are just a few words I can use to describe this company but I don't want to go on. We now own the house that we were renting and are thrilled that we no longer have to interact with Red squirrel. I would advise anyone, if possible, to avoid this company as I will be doing going forward. I understand this may difficult due to the way the market is, particularly the rental sector. My advice if you do have to deal with them is get everything in writing to cover yourselves. Be warned.

Red Squirrel Property Shop
Red Squirrel Property Shop

Hi Matt,

Thank you for your feedback. While we always welcome constructive criticism, we do feel it’s important to correct some factual inaccuracies in your review.

Firstly, at no point did we issue a “threat” of legal action — we simply requested that any public commentary reflect factual and fair representation, which is a standard and reasonable approach to online reviews.

Secondly, your statement omits a crucial part of the story: the seller did not want to sell the property to you and was actively pursuing alternative plans. It was only through our intervention and ongoing negotiation that the seller reconsidered. Without our team’s efforts, it is very likely you would not have had the opportunity to purchase the property at all.

We understand that navigating rental transitions and property purchases can be stressful, and we always aim to support all parties involved to the best of our ability. We’re sorry you felt dissatisfied, but we are proud of the outcome we helped you achieve...owning your home.

We wish you the best in your new property.

Kind regards,
The Red Squirrel Team

Zsuzsa Szilagyi Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: I had the ‘luck’ to rent a property through Red Squirrel for 2.5 years. The property looked very nice at first. Then I started having lots of problems with very cold temperatures in the property despite heating, which also resulted in damp and mould. I asked them several times to fix this. I then begged them to fix it, because I was due having a baby born soon. They ignored my complaints every time. My baby was born and the temperatures haven’t resolved. I was using the heating on full power, and it was still around 18 degrees in the living room. In the end I had to ask the council to help resolve this, which they did. After over a year of begging the estate agents for their help, they installed new heaters finally. After this I wasn’t surprised I got a section 21 eviction notice Revenge eviction at its best. They took advantage of me being a single mum and having no family support, also they thought I was stupid all along and that I wouldn’t fight until my last breath to protect my baby. We also had a leak in the house due to a burst pipe which resulted in a mouldy and stained ceiling, which again they ignored. We’ve moved out and now they’re claiming back the whole deposit, saying the property needs a clean which will cost £650 All Red Squirrel care about is the landlord, and slum landlords unfortunately. Please do consider any other estate agents before going with them

Hi Zsuzsa,
Having taken time to review all matters here, we can state that your account is factually incorrect.

For us to abide by GDPR it is hard to give that response correctly on this format.

What we can say, is every single instance you contacted our team, the landlords were informed that moment.
However all we can say is, the landlord did everything on time and when needed. Unfortunately, you were not willing to let trade's in to carry out works.

The council also confirmed otherwise against yourself.

We are sorry you feel this way, however, it is difficult to answer seeing as what you have written was the opposite of events.

We wish you all the best in your new home

Andrew Tapsell Published on Google 1 year ago

J Elizabeth Published on Google 1 year ago

Negative experience: Went to view a property with them, explained then and there we don’t have a guarantor and are unable to get one. They said we don’t need one - fast forward to them stating we need to pay £150 to apply/do referencing and it’s not refundable if you fail referencing. They explained we have high chance of getting the place. After applying and paying they then said there’s nothing they can do without a guarantor and they will not give us our money back. Scammed out of money when we were desperate, please be careful.

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately we cannot locate your information on our system.

Also the above is something we have never come into contact with.

I wonder if you have clicked the incorrect agent to leave a review or have done so in mistake?

To be clear, prior to anyone giving a holding fee, in writing we make it explicitly clear that if you give incorrect information and subsequently fail referencing it is non-refundable.

Chia Tan Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I used Red Squirrel to manage two flats over the past year. They have been timely and effective in finding good tenants, as well as when one tenant left at the end of the tenancy. More importantly, given the properties were old and needed a lot of repairs (with the seller actually leaving them in a worst state than expected), Red Squirrel dealt with this rather tiresome list of repairs in stride and with a lot of patience, which would otherwise be very hard for me to handle from far away.

Fantastic experience: I sold my property with Red Squirrel at the end of last year and I am so glad I chose Red Squirrel to do this. Charlie was incredible with his knowledge, putting the property on the market for the right price, helping me understand a lot of what I was unsure about being a first time seller, and making me feel at ease with the whole process. Matt was also incredibly helpful making sure I was happy as we progressed through the steps. Each time I went in I was greeted by very helpful and friendly staff who seemed as excited for me as I was. I would highly recommend Red Squirrel to everyone!

The concept of being sent an online video viewing of the property prior to a physical viewing is a great idea, as many of the questions that you may have about the property are already answered prior to the viewing. Having been tenants of the Island's largest estate agency for the last ten years, where as tenants we felt that we were always treated as being second class citizens, Red Squirrel Property Shop have been a breath of fresh air and have made us feel very welcome as clients. I have no hesitation at all in recommending Red Squirrel lettings department and would like to say a big thank you to all of the team.

Fantastic experience: I used red squirrel to sell my property and had 5 great offers within a couple of days of it being advertised. They are very friendly and were always keeping me updated with the process. They even helped me pick an amazing solicitor that made the process very easy. Highly recommended

Dear Robert, we are confused about your review here. The only information we have for yourself is back in July & October 2021. Where you reached out to us, on both occasions we followed up with you without response from yourself.
Could you please clarify?

Nass Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: If there was an option to leave a 0 star review I would select it. The staff are incapable at providing updates, there ability to communicate is appalling, and when they do your met with bad attitude despite their website describing them to be friendly. If they are approached with anything out the ordinary or a difficult chain they wont help push things along or communicate with other agents to achieve completion. Don't rely on these agents to help you, they wont go above or beyond, expect nothing but mediocre at best. I am a professional body, who has experienced your unprofessionalism first hand, whilst working with you within a chain, where your staff and manager feel it is appropriate to speak to me with disrespect and wont assist in helping achieve a completion for all parties involved in the chain.

Dear Nass, after reviewing ALL of our records you are not on our database. This seems to be a fake review of which will be reported.

Fantastic experience: My mother was renting a flat with Red Squirrel before she passed away. They were such a nice bunch of people, always really understanding on the phone and tried to make the process of giving back the property as easy as possible. I'm not sure I said it to them directly, but I will here: it really makes such a big difference when you are dealing with compassionate and caring folk. Thank you very much.

Dear Ruba, thank you for your review.

Che Published on Google 3 years ago

Negative experience: This is a reply to Red Squirrel's inaccurate response to my wife's review. No DAMAGE was ever discussed in relation to the extortionate £450 CLEANING bill. The clue is in the name. The exit Inventory and photographs taken by Red Squirrel themselves provide evidence of the good level of cleanliness the property was left in. Cleaning and damage are two very different things. Red Squirrel's response just goes to show they try to manipulate and twist the truth. The evidence of Red Squirrel's unacceptable charges never went through the DPS system, because we handed our evidence in past the deadline by mistake. This meant that you were awarded the money by default. We have spoken to the DPS and are awaiting proof of this which we will post in this review. Again, you are making another false claim.

Red Squirrel Property Shop
Red Squirrel Property Shop

Our response was factually correct. We can only go based on an inventory of condition.

As you have since established since this review once again we were correct in all avenues.

For future reference, it is important you return a property in as good a condition as it was let in.

Jenny Lunn Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: We bought our house through Red Squirrel. I always found the team very friendly and helpful to deal with. I had plenty of time to look around the property and to wander around by myself which I appreciated, and which helped me to get a feel for the house. Once our offer was accepted they kept us informed of the process and any concerns from the sellers were communicated to us promptly. I felt Red Squirrel made communication between seller and buyer straightforward and pleasant. The team came across as friendly, helpful and trustworthy, and I felt confident buying through them.

Fantastic experience: Red squirrel helped me to purchase my first property out in the Isle of Wight as I was relocating from the mainland. My experience with them was a real rollercoaster. It all worked out in the end. Rachel was excellent and did a great job. I thought on exchange day it wasn’t going to happen but she stepped in and saved the day. Thank you.

Jennifer Law Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Red Squirrel acted for me on the sale of two properties in recent months - one with tenant in situ. Throughout the whole process they were amazingly communicative with everyone concerned. In particular they stayed in contact with the tenant and were respectful of the fact the property was their home (very important to me). Even when we encountered a couple of little hitches, Red Squirrel remained on task and solved issues quickly and efficiently. I would strongly recommend them particularly if you are selling or buying a property for the rental market.

Fantastic experience: Red Squirrel were so helpful and always available even while everything was so busy! Our offer was passed on quickly, and communication between the parties was always prompt. We completed within 2 months of putting in our offer, and Red Squirrel were really communicative throughout. On picking up the keys we also received a lovely moving in box full of snacks and drinks and other goodies - such a lovely finishing touch to a completely smooth process.

Fantastic experience: From the first phone call with Clarice, to the first meeting with Charlie at our old house for the valuation, the service provided was extremely professional, friendly and welcoming. Nothing is ever to much hassle for anyone at the end of the phone. You are constantly in the loop of any update, and from the word the go the honesty from every one was incredible. Couldn’t recommend them enough and we know if we need them in the future they will always be the first people we contact. Jack & Joanna

Fantastic experience: Well what can I say about the team at Red Squirrel, absolutely top class. Clarice, Charlie, Alex and Liam have been outstanding from the very start of the purchase process. Times recently have been manic within the property market and agents have been run off their feet, but you would never have known this from the fantastic service we have received. Attentive, responsive always on hand and very professional. Thank you to you all from us both and we can't wait to start our new life on the beautiful Island. Sincerest thanks x

Fantastic experience: I am in the process of securing my first property and I can not express how impressed I am with the friendly kind service and assistance provided by Red Squirrel Property Shop Newport. I have been in constant contact, in particular with an agent named Clarice. She has been incredible. Answering all my questions and keeping me updated throughout the entire process. Until the keys are in my hands, I won't believe all this is really happening, but with the service and kindness of Clarice and her colleagues, this process couldn't have gone any smoother. Thanks so much guys.

Julia Clayton Published on Google 5 years ago

Positive experience: Red Squirrel Review Since the inception of Red Squirrel on the Isle of Wight, we used the company through their letting arm. Eileen Punter was always very professional in her dealings with us and our property and any problems (of which there were very few) were dealt with promptly. We would recommend Red Squirrel Lettings without hesitation. In respect of the sale of our property (completion on 19th March 2021). We were led to believe our purchaser was a cash buyer and therefore we hoped we would complete by Christmas 2020 at the latest. Our buyer offered and we accepted his offer on 12th September 2020. We then learnt, around the end of October 2020, that our buyer had lost his purchaser. We were then informed by Red Squirrel that our buyer’s sale depended on his purchase of our property. This was bad news. Our buyer then lost another purchaser for his property just before Christmas 2020, which we wasn’t confirmed until January 2021. We agreed an increased offer by our purchaser for our flat, as he was anxious to acquire it. It then turned out this offer was provisional on our waiting for our buyer to find another purchaser for his property. We were not prepared to wait for this to happen, so our purchaser obtained a mortgage to purchase our flat. All in all we feel the sale was prolonged mainly because of lack of clear communication between our buyer and Red Squirrel. However this wasn’t helped by Red Squirrel intimating that our buyer was a cash buyer.
