Mixed experience with Carter Edwards up until the point our case was over seen by Louise Carr in after sales. Her professionalism and friendly customer service was exceptional. When replying to questions or concerns she was very swift. Even replying to emails at 11pm! Very dedicated and great member of the team. Treat her well Carter Edwards - she's a keeper!
I am sorry that the service was a little mixed initialy Stuart but i am pleased that Louise managed to turn things around - thank you for your kind words, as you say - definitely a keeper! kind regards

I am renting a flat through Aspect agency more than 6 years now. As a tenant I can say my experience with them was seamless. The measure of how good is a tenant - agency/ landlord relation is how fast are they reacting when you have a problem (maintenance issue). I can say they are fast and taking good care of their tenants: over the 6 years they've replaced few white goods in the kitchen and arranged for plumbing in the bathroom. All replacements/ repairings were good quality. Hannah is my main contact in the agency and I've arranged with her almost all the above over this 6 years+.

I found that Carter Edwards were the most helpful when looking for properties in the area. Contact with the agents (Georgia in this case) was great. She was willing to go the extra mile to help find what i was looking for, having phone and email correspondence out of office hours being just one example. I would recommend them to anyone.
Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to voice your 5 STAR endorsement of our staff and service. Your open recommendation to others is most appreciated. Many thanks.

I deal with Carter Edwards in a professional capacity on a day-to-day basis. They are quick to respond to emails and calls, helpful with chasing and are very proactive in getting the sales through. I recommended Carter Edwards to a work colleague of mine (Katharine) and she is very happy with the service and the fact a buyer has been found so quickly
5/5
I was more than happy with the communication I received, keeping me up to date with the progress throughout the process. The whole team was polite, professional, helpful and prompt with any responses. I never felt pushed to make any decisions, truly and great team to work with. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

So far Holly has been so enthusiastic and helpful regarding our property and we're not even on the market until today! I have no doubt she'll be able to sell it as she is very proactive. I will update again once our property has sold.
5/5
Fantastic experience! Lisa, Connor and the rest of the team worked incredibly hard to get us into a fantastic new home. Only agents I've ever known to still be working/emailing me at gone 9pm. Fantastic agency, would highly recommend them.
5/5
I contacted Connor Harris at Carter Edwards as a friend of mine had also let their property through him. Instantly I knew why they recommended him. Connor is fantastic to work with. He is very professional and really knows his stuff! I was worried about working with an agent as you do hear bad things but Connor beat all of those stereo types and got my property rented quickly, with a great tenant! Thank you Connor and the team at Carter Edwards!

Thanks so much for the kind words!

I called Carter Edwards to arrange a viewing of a property. I was advised that the gas and elec at the property had been switched off so viewings must be before 15.30. Not a problem I requested an app 1st thing in the morning. I was then advised they do not do appointments before 10 am as they have a team meeting every morning. (Really!!) So I requested an app at 10am. I received a call back later from a gentleman who advised further that the earliest viewings would be at 11am as he has to do paperwork...... So a 4.5 hour window in the middle of the working day was all they could accommodate. Thankfully the property was also up for sale with another agent. We viewed and purchased said property with this other agent. Lost sale Carter Edwards. I suggest you get out of bed earlier!

I would not recommend this Agency to non-UK citizens. They're just not ready to help people in hurry and from outside of UK. Also, keep in mind that once you sign up with them and make any holding deposit, this is not refundable, no matter if is their fault in completing the process. That's how me and my girlfriend lost 500 pounds. When we visited a studio, we agreed with Sarah that we should move quick because we're staying at hotel and we'll transfer the money from a Romanian bank account (in pounds, but in another country). We had to speak with 3 different persons and tell our story 3 times. They just seem not to talk with each other...
Thank you Alex for bringing this to our attention. We take all such reviews most seriously and always investigate thoroughly. We will be in touch via email / phone as soon as we have had the opportunity to look through all the details of your complaint. Best regards

A massive well done to Carter Edwards and Louise in particular. Our situation proved to be very drawn out and without going into details Louise picked up the pieces after we were let down by another estate agent. Louise was there every step of the way and spent considerable time chasing up other parties on our behalf. Louise kept us up to date and managed to remain positive even when things were not working out as planned, such a friendly and calming nature, I would recommend Carter Edwards to anyone.

Impressed with Carter Edwards, and all their efforts on trying to sell our house and being determined to help find a property to purchase. Their photos and description of our property were great and much better than other agents I've seen. The service we've had from Lauren has been outstanding in trying to sell our property, managing to gather multiple offers in one day. She's always kept us informed and updated, and always provides clear and honest advise. Mark has been our main contact from day one, has always been approachable and enthusiastic, doesn't mind taking a call or enquiry even past closing time.

I have read so many reviews on here & look forward to the response giving excuses or saying they don't have my record so it must be a mistake... Charles Carr put my mother's property for sale without her signing anything, then refused to remove it unless she paid a withdrawal fee!! As things stand the property is STILL on the websites despite several requests from us to take it off!!
1/5
After being treated so badly when I tried to look at a house with Charles Carr I wondered how they had so many good reviews, then I saw the other reviews saying they ask their friends to give reviews to win competitions!! I only feel it is fair to highlight this as it is actions like this that give people working in real estate in England such a bad name!!
Hi Sam, i am sorry that you feel that way, we do ask our clients for their honest feedback as it provides us insight that we can use to improve our business. Having checked our system we have no record of you or any request to view a property. If you would like to discuss the matter further please contact lloyd@charlescarrproperty.co.uk. Thank you

Worst estate agents ever! After having three valuations last week, i must say some if the staff there are educated, My valuation manager knew exactly what he was talking about and quoted a fair price, but the lady on the phone was by far some of the rudest service i have received... she was blunt, rushed, very monotone and damn right rude... as soon as she realised i had already booked my valuation she dint care to speak with me. I went into the office and lady "greeted" me, and by this i mean looked up and looked back down, there was several other staff there all on the phone, i appreciate your busy but the one person free should be able to get up and welcome me. Still it took a more senior member of staff to get off the phone and give this lady a nudge to serve me, she was eating chocolate biscuits and covered in crumbs, had very badly applied fake nails which were broken and snapped and did not appear to be interested in anything i had to say. Im am not a snob by no means, but theres a level of customer service i would wish for. I decided not to market my houe with this company, as that is how they would treat the potential buyers of my house.
Sorry but we have no record of you on our database we are very proud of our number rated status on rater agent for Southampton please contact us direct if you have any issues

Very good estate agent. Jade helped me with my search very well. She knew exactly what I wanted and called me most days with new property's. Lloyd and Louise then helped with the sale chasing and they were both great, really worked hard and as a team to push a quick and smooth sale. Many thanks!!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind review, it is great to hear of your satisfaction with the service provided by the team. Best wishes
5/5
The Agents involved in my purchase from start to finish were absolutely exemplary. I've been shown round numerous properties by numerous agents in cheap suits chewing gum with too much make up and no real interest in their work. Charles Carr stood out from the crowd from the moment I rang them. No pushy sales pitch; friendly service over the telephone and accommodating to my meagre budget and time constraints. I met Emma at the property and she was just lovely; naturally enthusiastic without being 'in my face' and genuinely a really lovely person who just so happened to be showing me around a property that was above my meagre budget. Had this viewing and my telephone conversations not been so pleasant I would not have offered on the property I now own. Lucy, the agent in the office kept up communications superbly and we shared humour and our frustrations along the way. It was a really personable transaction from start to finish. Lovely lovely team; without you I would not be the owner of my little piece of heaven. Thank you.
Thank you so much Hannah for writing such a lovely review. We are delighted that you found us (Emma and Luci in particular) to be professional, enthusiastic and personable and we are absolutely thrilled that you are happy in your new home! best wishes

Thank you to Mark Lawrence and the team at Carter Edwards,for providing genuinely excellent customer service especially following a bad experience with another agent. From the first meeting with Mark, my Partner and I felt we were valued customers and that the sale of our property was important to the team. I would highly recommend Carter Edwards and Mark in particular if you are looking for a genuine Estate Agent, who fully understands the needs of the customer and wishes to support and advise through the process of sale.
5/5
Everyone at Carter Edwards was very helpful. In particular Louise who helped us through the completions process, she was efficient, always available to answer questions and was excellent at staying on top of what turned out to be a very complicated chain. We couldn't have done it and retained our sanity without her help! When it comes time to move again, we will definitely come back to Carter Edwards.
5/5
The entire team at Carter Edwards have been brilliant from start to finish. They have very hands on support and service, local knowledge and personal touch have been absolutely first class. I simply cannot fault them and would not hesitate to recommend them. Along all steps of the process Shane was professional and always kept me updated and even when on leave the details were always passed on to another team member in case of any problems. I would highly recommend the whole team to other people.
5/5
Highly recommended after selling my house through Carter Edwards. Property sold quickly and got the price we wanted. Where they really set themselves apart from the rest though is the aftersales and the chain management. Being in a large chain there were a number of parties involved but Luci and the team were always keeping me updated and making sure everything was moving along. Had problems with our sellers estate agents and they were more than happy to sort out for me. Outstanding service from day one! Are there cheaper estate agents out there? Probably, yes. Are there better estate agents out there? Probably not!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write this review. We are delighted that you were impressed with our service and in particular, the sales progression from Luci. All the very best

I wouldn't normally write a review unless it was warranted, Mark Lawrence at Carter Edwards and the team at the Woolston office served us very well and deserve kudos. I met Mark at a viewing of a property and explained to him that we were not quite ready for the market and asked not to be hassled , he left us alone until we were ready and then handled things smoothly and professionally. He showed expertise in valuing our property , showing us comparable property's and where he thought we should be in the market place. This proved to be highly valuable as our previous valuation by a well known online agent was 20% less than Mark. Even before the details were done and the house went online Mark had 2 viewings for us and by the time the open day came we had 24 viewings booked, by generating so much interest Mark helped us achieve above the asking price. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark Lawrence and the team at Carter Edwards .
Wow, what a fantastic review. Thank you so much for commenting on your experience with us and Mark, in particular. We are delighted that you were entirely satisfied with the service provided and your recommendation to others. Wishing you all the best
