Ajay and Daryl went out of their way to ensure that the purchase of our new home In Southampton went smoothly even arranging fo us to collect the keys late at night when our arrival was delayed. I would recommend Austin & Wyatt without hesitation and will certainly use them again should we move in the future.
Thank you for your brilliant 5* review and thank you for your recommendation. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

I was looking for my next flat to move in and I was really satisfied with the service from Austin & Wyatt. Whenever I emailed or called them they were always very responsive and they really gave me consulting. They listened and considered what I was saying about the type of flat I was looking for and suggested me those when new available flats got on a market. Thanks to them I could find a place I was looking for. Especially Natalie Eustace and Rosie Heatley were very professional and helpful.
Wonderful to read such great comments and thank you for your 5* review! Best wishes, Scott @ Customer Relations

Absolutely wonderful staff. Have had contact with AJ, George and Daryl. They are all cheerful, caring, professional, knowledgeable and most of all trustworthy. They really do care about you and treated us with respect at all times. My mum is elderly and I can honestly say all three treated her as if she was there mum! Fantastic. I know mum felt so safe with them in the house doing viewings and so did I. Thank you so much… customer service like this is rare!
Many thanks for the marvellous 5* review and your kind words. Best wishes, Lucy, Customer Relations.

As we were looking for a new rented property, the lettings manager Natalie was beyond helpful. She hosted the viewing for us and she was able to tell us everything about the property and handled the whole process. She was very patient and responsive with phone calls and emails, I was never waiting long for a reply. Natalie made the whole process so easy for everyone involved by helping us step by step and I couldn’t have asked for a better service!
It’s really lovely to read another 5* review. Many thanks, Lucy, Customer Relations.

Austin & Wyatt, London Road, are currently selling the flat I've been a tenant at for over 15 years and have been seemingly unable to treat me with the basic respect a long standing tenant would expect to receive. They regularly inform me of viewings on the same day as the viewing, despite the requirement to give me 24 hours notice and me continuously asking them to do so. Today I spoke to the manager in person, asking them to give me 24 hours notice for viewings on two separate e-mail addresses. An hour later I received a text message informing me of the viewing, with no e-mails sent despite my request. In addition to the lack of respect shown regarding viewings, they left me without a working oven for the entirety of the Christmas period - nearly a month passed before anything was done to fix this. They appear to have little to no regard for their tenants or be in any way committed to providing them with a good level of service. Whilst I understand the property is on the market for sale, this is, ultimately, my home and Austin and Wyatt do not seem to give a monkeys.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback, we take all comments seriously and this has been passed on to the Regional Manager to discuss with the branch to see how they can improve for the future. If you would like to go through this in more detail at all, please do email me at review@countrywide.co.uk Kind regards, Lucy, Customer Relations.

I've rented a flat through A&W in January 2021 and it all went smoothly. Agent (Lloyd) I was dealing with was professional and quick in communication.

I don’t often write reviews, but it’s rare that you find an estate agents, that goes above and beyond. I am utterly blown away by the customer service I have received from Charlotte Martin in the Bournemouth branch. I am new to the area and she has helped me so much. Her attention to detail is excellent. She responds to e-mails instantly and understands the needs of both the buyer and seller. I cannot speak highly enough about her - highly recommend agent and great team all around.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nicholas from the Ashley cross branch has gone above and beyond to help me. He has kept me updated with everything that has been going on with the property I live at. He has answered any questions I have asked. But most importantly he has dealt with everything in an extremely professional manner and I cannot thank him enough for what I can imagine has been a rather challenging task for him to deal withPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Viewed at a property and put in an offer the same day. Had a phone call 24 hours after asking if i still wanted to proceed with offer. Confirmed yes and was told i did not have a mortgage in principle. Please be aware i had sent this before a viewing where a mortgage broker had already sorted the paper work for a confirmed mortgage and illustration. I was told to use there in house mortgage broker as would help with the sale for an offer i had put in for. Sent numerous of documents to this broker. I was then was told at the end by them that they would find me another property ( I could buy for higher then what i had viewed and sent documents within 24 hours of being asked). I asked if the property had gone and why i did not have any communication from the estate agents to confirm this. I then recieved a call after i complained to the mortgage broker about clarity and communication. Basically wasted my time when they knew the property had gone to try get myself to buy another property. I had seen numerous of properties by the estate agent on email for my properties that i had said time and time again dont meet my preference. Why was i completing this process if had already been sold to another buyer. When i spoke to the branch i was told i know its dissapointing. As i explained as i previously brought and sold a home that was not my issue. it was the lack of proffesionalism, clarity, communication and not responsive. If looking for an estate agent that wont waste time please do not use. Will not use this estate agent again for other buyers who dont want time wasted when selling their own home currently.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

My daughter who's bringing up 2 babies on her own, desperate to rent a small house with a garden, gave Austin & Wyatt £250 to hold a property for a week whilst she organised her references. As a homeowner I've been her guarantor for the past 12 months but my earnings didn't fit their criteria , unable to find a suitable guarantor they placed the property back on the market after 3 days and she lost her £250. A heartless companyNegativeProfessionalism
