Horrendous Agent
Appalled at the neglect and lack of responsibility Charles Harding have taken whilst “Fully Managing” our property.The House was left Filthy, damages to a Newly fitted Kitchen, things left which needed removal, massively over grown Garden costing £600 alone to put right, and more - yet taking no responsibility to replace funds it’s cost to fix, taking nothing from the tenant who left it this way. They had the Dates that the new tenants would be moving in, and failed to have the House cleaned in time, then refused to have it cleaned because it was being occupied. One big head ache and it now going through court.Avoid.

Michael Reynolds
Viewing a house with Michael as our agent was great. All questions were answered and he made it as smooth as possible. Always answered very quickly to messages. Hope to have Michael again sometime. No complaints at all!

Sold in the week
I cannot recommend this estate agent highly enough. Their exceptional speed and quality of service, particularly in terms of photography and advertising, were instrumental in selling my flat within a week. If you're looking for a professional, efficient, and results-driven estate agent, look no further. They are an absolute asset and will undoubtedly exceed your expectations.

Since February 2013 In gave my property on a fully Managed basis to the above branch. They were very good in the beginging, but afterwards they starting increasing their rates. If you are a Landlord be Careful and read the terms of contract, do what you want, not what they say. I had a bad experiance as a Landlord.Do not speak on the phone, always send an email and get an answer via email. Very bad experiance , can't trust this Estate Agent any more and suggest all Landlords not to approach this Agent anymore.

Highly recommended...
It has been so easy to work with everyone at Charles Harding. Correspondence has been straightforward and I have always received a response to my emails by the end of the day. It doesn't seem too much trouble to ask questions about my tenants or for them to be contacted throughout a working week. Charles Harding coordinated all the checks on my house, cleaned it through and did all preparations in order for my house to be ready for the rental market. They kept me informed of which tenants were suitable and talked me through the various options I had. I would highly recommend Charles Harding - hassle free, reliable people!

Dishonest and awkward
For someone who last used an estate agent to find a rental home around 8 years ago, I was terribly concerned about Charles Harding in Swindon and their approach. I would suggest caution for landlords and tenants alike.When finding the ideal property on Rightmove, I was told that I couldn't apply to rent this house until I saw the house inside - even though I went to see the house externally and was happy with the appearance and area. So, I went to view at the earliest opportunity offered and was told on the day of enquiry that the landlord was accepting of my offer in principle.On viewing day, I handed in my application in on paper and was told I would get an answer next day. At that stage, I was the only person viewing as no other viewings were being done and no accepted applications were submitted based upon what the agent was telling me.Next day; no response came and it took me 2 calls to get an answer. The answer was such a shock.... All of a sudden, the lettings person said that other applications were in (so I was previously lied to) and the landlord accepted another offer. Oh well..... but hold on! The property continued to be advertised on Rightmove for a further 4 days. So, I called in on day +4 using a different number and enquired about the house, and was then told it was let just 3 hours before on that day (lie number 2).So, my experience was not great as I was continually lied to, and every attempt I made to be the ideal tenant was blocked by the agent. Did the landlord even know about my application? Why was I being lied to - there didn't seem to be any valid reason to suggest I was the only interested person on viewing day? Why tell me that the house was rented to someone else and was being taken off Rightmove, but then 4 days later tell me that it was then only just agreed to rent to someone that day?I accept the rental market place has moved on. But my experience with other agents since has been quite different.

Professional and Kind
We were under tenancy with Charles Harding for two years. During that time, we were very happy with their responsiveness to any of our concerns. We were always met with professionalism and kindness, especially from Marie, who we worked with during our tenancy. I would highly recommend, and would use them again myself if moving back to that area, for letting or buying a property.

Excellent Customer Service
I was guided throughout the Marketing/ Selling Processby Michael,who was professional/informative & helpful,without being overbearing. It was an emotional & difficult time for me, having to sell the home of a close Relative,who now needs 24 hr care. I also wish to mention Karen. Michael & Karen are both a great Asset to Charles Harding Estate Agents. THANKYOU BOTH.

Recently we purchased a property through Charles Harding in Royal Wootton Bassett but i can only advise you to give them a wide birth,they were rude and ignorant and to be honest stuck up their own backsides. They were only interested in the person selling the property,but couldn't care less about the purchaser's. I tried to complain but of course it fell on deaf ears ! If I could give minus stars I would . Be aware !

Not happy with my dealings with this company, their correspondence and care for the customers is none existent. Considering this is a pretty big letting agency I'm surprised about how they deal with customers. Hoping we won't have to go for another temporary rental one again. Also beware they do use tactics to push you to purchase sooner/ leave you on edge during the buying process.
