After renting a property for a year and dealing with Cassidy & Tate, I unfortunately didn't have the best experience. Upon moving into the "professionally cleaned" flat, we found nothing but grime, dirt and faults. When reported to Cassidy & Tate, we were not offered any help or even an apology and instead a year down the line after moving out of the property, which was in pristine condition in comparison to what we moved into, had an email stating 565 of our deposit would be taken - 345 being cleaning.
After disputing this, we were offered a discount of 50 on the cleaning bill and had 75 removed for "snapped blind cords" which was in-fact already broken upon our move in - and stated in the original inventory! In addition to this, the figures of our deposit amount in the email were incorrect. I feel it is also appropriate to mention that while asleep in bed, our flat was entered illegally without our prior consent by an agent from Cassidy & Tate.
This agent at the time and throughout our dealings with her has been condescending and unprofessional. Out of good will, this wasn't taken any further but despite this, said agent continued to be unhelpful and caused a lot of distress to both of us during the move-out process. Overall, I would say (and am sorry to say) that there is a lack of compassion, care or professionalism within this estate agent as a whole.

When we were looking for a rental property in St Albans, we contacted 5 different estate agents, and had varying degrees of success. When it came to dealing with Cassidy and Tate and specifically Michaela, they provided a much better service than any of the other estate agents, she went above and beyond to find me and my partner a property that suited us.
I honestly can't speak highly enough of Michaela, she was always quick and clear in her communication and even put in a good word for us with the landlord to help secure us the right deal on the property. If you're looking for a property in St Albans, don't look any further than Cassidy and Tate, they are absolutely outstanding! When I look to purchase a property, I will definitely use Cassidy and Tate again. Thanks Michaela and the team!

I am writing this review on behalf on my client: We had a great experience using the services of Cassidy and Tate at the St Albans branch. We were assisted by Stuart throughout the process of the sale of a new build house we had developed. I was impressed by the high quality of service I received from Stuart and all his colleagues, I found them extremely helpful throughout the entire process and most importantly honest about any details. I will use their services again in the future.

I lnstantly liked and trusted Nick as soon as he came to value my house and my instincts were right! He has been fantastic throughout the whole process of selling my home and importantly he is always contactable and responsive to phone calls and emails. He has been professional throughout. I would also like to mention Kris who always showed prospect buyers around my house and then gave me feedback and he was reliable and courteous too. Amazingly considering how stressful moving home can be I had absolutely no negative experiences whatsoever selling my home with Cassidy and Tate, I felt relaxed throughout the whole process and I can highly recommend choosing them over other agents to sell your home

I cannot recommend Cassidy & Tate highly enough to potential buyers or sellers. In the current climate I was seriously impressed and so very grateful for this company's professional attitude, friendly and personal service. Always available on the phone and it was refreshing to receive regular updates rather then me having to call them. I was expecting a stressful experience to be honest but I'm more than happy to admit I was wrong.
Couldn't have asked to have been looked after by a better team of people. Thank you to the whole team. Sincerely, you went out of your way to make my first house purchase a great experience. Top class!

I've used Cassidy and Tate a couple of times in St Albans in my search for a house in the area. They were very informative, helpful and patient. I spoke to Stuart initially, and then one of the sales people - both of which were helpful and friendly. Even when I didn't go ahead, they were positive and offered advice on the area. Thanks again - I'll be in touch again in the future without hesitation.

I have used Cassidy and Tate several times since leaving the industry myself 3 years ago and have been pleased with the level of service, the outstanding presentation and most of all the outcome. I have found the team to be polite, responsive, and professional. Stuart Cassidy and David Tate take pride in the brand and are in my opinion dogmatic and gracious. I know many Estate Agents in St Albans and choose to place my letting business with them. Well done chaps, keep up the hard work.

Be very careful of this business. They use pressure tactics and do not act in a professional manner at all. This starts all the way from the top, with Stuart "The Con Man" Cassidy, who is a glorified used car salesman in his cheap suit with his old spice aftershave. Lies from start to finish and messes you around. Cassidy Tate is a prime example of why some people view estate agents as the scum of the earth. Also, just to make everyone aware, while they do force you to use their broker and solicitor, this is illegal under the estate agents act 1979. I have reported them and would encourage anyone else that they force to use their broker or solicitor to do the same.
