PLEASE BE CAREFUL GOING WITH THIS AGENCY!!! Shocking service, upon move in the property was absolutely disgusting. Pubes all in the toilet, full bins, full fridge, stuff all over the floor despite being promised a “deep clean” in the contract prior to move in. Aj thought a £30 curry would make up for the cost of a clean of the property. We decided to leave after 6 months as we didn’t gel with the area, receiving our deposit back was absolutely horrendous. Aj was supposed to meet us as the property before we moved out but was apparently “unwell” so didn’t show. We cleaned the property thoroughly. When we moved in, the previous tenant left lots of things which we were welcome to help ourselves to otherwise the landlord was going to bin it all. Aj never made us sign an inventory, then attempted to take massive numbers off our deposit (including £70 for a chopping board!!!) for getting rid of the items that we were told were ours unless we wanted them binned. I am heavily pregnant, and was at the time and the stress this individual caused me was disgraceful. Luckily, my sister was an estate agent and one of my friends a lawyer so we contacted her who reminded us what this “company” was doing was 100% illegal. It was only when we threatened involving these solicitors that Aj then took it to the Deposit Protection Scheme which eventually decided we would get our whole deposit back (of course). The way she spoke to us on whatsapp was more than unprofessional. I’ve seen reviews that have said she has repeatedly changed the name of the company to avoid bad reviews and the only good reviews are from herself!! Please please please PLEASE be careful. There is so much more I could say and add but we have just received the news we will be receiving the entire deposit and I have been waiting for the opportunity to write a review about this horrendous experience!! Upon moving out of this flat we now have a lovely landlord who actually showed up when we moved in, provided us with a photographic inventory which we signed and replies to our queries! Just please avoid AT ALL COSTS. More...

I am writing a review which I wouldn’t do, because of the truly excellent service of Big Apple estate agents in Torquay. I am a landlord and used many agents, I am happy to say Big Apple is the best. First class communication and information, exceptional service. I hope to use you again. Thanks for all your help. More...

I had such a bad experience with a well known agent I thought I would never use a agent again. Well I’m so glad I used big Apple. They renewed my confidence and all my tenants they have provided pay their rent and I’m a happy Landlird. £199 to find my tenant was the best money I ever paid to find a tenant. They also have extra special after care for me and my tenant. Thank you Big Apple More...

My portfolio of 18,000 properties is only successful because I have The Big Apple in charge. They are so approachable for my tenant and myself. No fairness just straight talk and rents in. Don’t know how they do it with so few staff but my portfolio is running nicely and all my rents are on time. More...

Excellent service, excellent staff. I recently visited Torquay on holiday, having taken a number of photos I looked in the town centre for a place to get my photos printed. The first shop I visited was very disappointing with a lack of help or advice, I left and came across Snappy Snaps further down the town. The staff where all extremely accommodating and evidently enjoyed what they where doing. The service was very professional and my photos looked great. More...

I highly recommend this shop, the level of service is exceptional, not only are the staff polite and courteous, they definitely have a can do attitude, with nothing to much trouble. My wife and I would like to say a big thank you to David and Ellen. Both where amazingly helpful and the gentlemans passion and knowledge was very evident. It is very rare to get a quality service, so well done Snappy Snaps. More...

Very lovely manager who is always very polite and has found me many amazing properties to choose from. This has been a very stress free experience due to helpful staff to talk to that have helped make this a very easy choice to make, through the use off effective communication and respect to me as a customer .

Cant praise these guys enough!Big Apple provided excellent customer service and a caring and emphatic nature through the whole process of finding me a stable home. They accommodated all of my needs and made sure that I was informed of everything happening the entire process. If there was any problems then they would be dealt with efficiently and appropriately and I had a consistent confidence with all the members of staff throughout the company.Highly recommend Big Apple!
