Thank you to Genna and Maddie from the Farnham rentals of Bourne. You both made a very difficult and stressful time for me a lot easier with your knowledge and support.

We’ve now been waiting for Bourne to release our deposit for almost three months. They’re staff are so eager to quit that you talk to a different person each time you call (who just started and has no idea what they’re doing). It’s a shame when we first let from them they seemed to have it together but it’s all gone downhill. Run, don’t walk away from a Bourne-listed property or you’ll regret ever interacting with them.
Dear Brian, I am sorry to read this review, I have investigated the tenancy in detail plus spoken to our head of property management (Matthew Ware) to understand more. Looking into your tenancy I can see you actually moved out 7 weeks ago on the 1st September, so we are unclear where ‘three months’ comes from? As discussed with you, we always aim to release the deposit as soon as possible, however, this is dependent on discussions between yourself and the landlord regarding potential deductions coming to a successful conclusion. The Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) guidelines indicate that these discussions are able to take place for up to 3 months from the check-out date before the matter can be referred to the TDS, who will arbitrate on the dispute as an independent 3rd party. Throughout this process it is between yourself and your landlord to come to an agreement regarding deductions. Bourne can only release the deposit once this has been formally reached by both parties. I am sorry you feel that Bourne is at fault here, however, we can’t release the deposit until we receive an agreed instruction by both tenant & landlord. I understand our accounts department released the balance of your deposit yesterday, minus deductions you had agreed with your landlord so we hope this brings the matter to a close for you, however, if you have any further questions please feel free to contact Matthew. Kind Regards

Bourne have been very helpful throughout the process of selling, respectful and not pushy. All communication has been in a timely and friendly manner. I would recommend Bourne to friends.

From the first contact all the way through to finding tenants for our property Bourne have been communicative, supportive and professional. Letting property can be a minefield, however, Bourne have made the process simple for us and done all of the heavy lifting. They found us great tenants quickly and are very responsive to any issues raised. I would highly recommend.
Thank you Richard, your review and comments are greatly appreciated

Great service from Steve Darling and his team.

As first time buyers the experience can be a little daunting. We had seen some other houses but we found our experience with Patrick was amazing. He was very professional, whilst explaining things in simple terms to us. I don’t think when you find the right house it needs to be ‘sold’ however Patrick was very informative and friendly and for us really made it a positive experience. Very impressed.

I would give this estate agent 0 stars. They have no understanding of how their actions and lack of transparency affects their customers. I felt bullied, disrespected and lied to for my 5 month ordeal in purchasing a home with them. And then to be told that they are putting the home back on the market. I have fed back to this estate agent as a whole and had no apology but instead was made to feel as if I was in the wrong for not using their recommended solicitor. Shame on them as they truly failed to understand how much this has affected me and my mental health. I don’t want to name and shame who this agent was , but she knows who she is. Bourne in my eyes is all about business and a lack of empathy. Disgraceful and be warned!
17/10/23 - Dear Hira, I have investigated your purchase and can see that you were not able to obtain a mortgage based on the conditions of type of sale through Rural Housing Trust. We were therefore left with no choice but to remarket the property. I do find it unfair that you have apportioned the blame at our doorstep when there was no other outcome other than to remarket the property. I completely understand the frustrations of not being able to achieve a mortgage on your first property and would have welcomed the opportunity to discuss this with you but to date you have chosen not to respond to my efforts to speak. Regards Andrew 13/10/23 - Dear Hira, I am yet to hear from you, if you could provide me with details regarding your review and I will investigate. Regards Andrew. 09/10/23 Dear Hira, I have emailed you asking for you to contact me with specifics regarding your review so that I can investigate. If you could come back to me then it would be appreciated as we take all reviews, good and bad, very seriously. Regards Andrew at Bourne.

Ayisha, Claire, Annabelle & the whole team at Bourne have excelled at finding us a tenant & managing the rental of our Townhouse in Bordon. In one week of viewings we got 4 acceptable offers. They handled a couple of repairs very quickly & efficiently. We get a great end of year financial summary.
Thank you for your review. It is appreciated. Regards Andrew and the team at Bourne.

Hi, I wanted to share my experience with Bourne Estate Agents, specifically highlighting the commendable assistance I received from Amy and Kathryne during my recent move to Guildford. As a first-time renter, I had numerous questions and concerns, and both of them patiently put my mind to ease. Amy was instrumental in organizing the property viewing, ensuring it was a seamless process. Kathryne took over from there and handled all the necessary due process. She patiently guided me through the process, making sure everything was in order. I genuinely appreciate Amy's and Kathryne's expertise in their respective roles. Their teamwork ensured a smooth transition into my new place. I'd like to commend the entire team at Bourne Estate Agents for their commitment to customer service. They were always a call/ email away for all my big and small questions. If you're seeking a straightforward renting experience, I recommend considering them. I'm leaving a 5-star review for Bourne Estate Agents as a token of my appreciation for their service. Thank you, Amy and Kathryne, for your valuable assistance. Best regards, Khushi
Thank you for taking your time in providing us with this fantastic review. Your comments about Amy and Kathryne are appreciated and we are pleased to see you have had a pleasant and smooth journey with the rental process. As you would have experienced the rental industry is not always straight forward but as a business we try and ensure our staff are trained to deliver the best possible care. Thank you again and we hope you enjoy your new home.

The staff at Bourne Godalming were extremely helpful and professional especially Shane and Tilly. My house was on the market within days of instructing them and it sold within 10 days. The dealings between myself and my buyer, through Bourne, were smooth and we completed on time.
