I contacted this agency in November 2024 about a property, which I may or may not have visited. Shortly after, once I had found a suitable property, I clearly told them to remove my details - I explicitly invoked GDPR’s right to erasure and told them to delete my data.

They ignored me. This cycle has repeated multiple times.

Despite this, they continue sending marketing emails — every few months, right up to May 2026. This is not just spam; it is a clear violation of UK GDPR and PECR. Once a person withdraws consent or requests deletion, the law requires immediate action. They have done neither. Emailing property details, or summaries of new legislation both fall under the same requirement. If they had followed the law they would not longer have my email and would not be able to contact me whenever they felt like it.

Do yourself a favour: Use other agencies.
Do not trust this agency with your data. They disregard your privacy rights and treat GDPR as optional.

This is by far the worst agency I have ever dealt with. Completely useless, unprofessional, and disrespectful. They waste time, waste resources, and treat people like they don’t matter. Nothing works, no one cares, and you’ll only leave frustrated and angry. If I could give 0 stars, I would! When someone is in real need of shelter and support, they only seem to care about money, rules, and paperwork. Only profit and bureaucracy matter to them! At least this is what they have proven! It is heart breaking to see how they treat those who are most vulnerable. I honestly hope that karma gives them the same treatment they gave to us, because no one deserves to be ignored and dehumanized the way they do in special Jake Houchen manager itself! I'm wondering who hired him!

Though we have not bought a property through Castles, Matt has been incredibly helpful to us throughout the entire process of searching for a new home. We received weekly calls to see how we were getting along, all the time without pushing properties on us. When we had some issues along the way, Matt spoke to me at length to discuss our options despite having no skin in the game. He has truly gone above and beyond and we will continue to recommend him and the team at Castles to friends looking to move to the area, and will likely list with Matt specifically when we do eventually look to sell our property. I am astounded by the level of commitment Matt has shown over the last few months and we are incredibly grateful for his help and support.

An agency that seems quite behind London's diverse and international market, unable to even contemplate an expat as a potential client, to my utter shock. As a Relocation Agent I help families who are being trasferred into London regularly, and with no issues from the vast majority of estate agents. It is a shame to come across a company so inflexible and conservative.
