GoogleI don’t often write reviews but feel compelled to say that Christine from your team at Charters Chandlers Ford, is outstanding! Buying a property is an extremely stressful time, but every time I meet Christine I am struck by her enthusiasm, patience, knowledge and understanding. Please can you thank her for me?!
Thanks for taking the time to review the service you received

GoogleJust completed purchasing a house through Charters. They were very efficient and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and special thanks to Christine who I had several viewings with and who always gave great advice and communicated very effectively which established a lot of trust between us.
Thank you for the review, this is great to hear.

GoogleInitial interaction with Olivia Shannon a little unsettling as Olivia has an unfortunate habit of laughing/giggling at intervals when she is introducing herself on the phone or when she is doing follow up calls. In other words, introduces herself and then laughs, sounds like a nervous laugh. Presumably her managers haven't noticed or don't consider it an issue. The trouble is, it doesn't inspire confidence - also, as I said to my daughter who had dealt with Olivia on a recent rental and agreed with me, it doesn't sound very professional and is rather disconcerting (why would an estate agent be giggling?) However Olivia was always on the end of the phone when I asked for her. She also recommended a property that was in Hiltingbury (it wasn't in that area) and also not sure where Bournemouth Rd was when I was trying to locate a property - maybe it was an off day. Mike very good and also reassuring. Spoke to Jess on the phone but it was really difficult to hear what she was saying as her voice is fast and very high pitched. I had to get her to repeat things as she was so shrill. However very knowledgeable about the property I was buying. Was not fazed by questions about the boiler and was happy to explain the split chain involved. Suggest managers listen to their staff (literally)to get the impact they are passing on to buyers. I am wondering what kind of staff training Charters are doing. Would it help to listen to how their staff are coming across by phone?
Elaine, thank you for reviewing the service, it is all fed back to the team. In terms of your specific comments, there is ongoing weekly in-house support and training provided for all our offices. Thank you and all the best for the future.

GoogleFantastic experience using Charters as a letting agent. I have used Sparks Ellison in the past who are also based in a Chandlers Ford and found them to be very disappointing, dishonest and unprofessional. I will continue to use Charters from now on and receive their friendly, honest and professional services. Thank you
Megan, thank you for your comments regarding Charters service, it is much appreciated.

GoogleCharters Chandlers Ford have been brilliant. They sold our property within days and communication has been consistent and informative. Special thanks to Jess who was our point of contact and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. You can tell the branch is organised and efficient but they don’t lose any customer service.

GoogleThis is the first time my wife and I have moved from one home to another as this was our first home. Stressful doesn't quite cut it! Lisa who works as a sales progressor is a true asset to the team and incredibly patient. Lisa and her team excelled at pushing the process on. One thing I think is important throughout this process is effective communication; and they have this in buckets. Totally recommend their services. Oh! Their mortgage team are also fantastic as we discovered.
Thank you for the review, it is much appreciated.

GoogleWe were met right on time by Christine who showed us around the property we hoped to purchase. Christine was very knowledgeable about the details of the sale and able to answer all our questions. It was an absolute pleasure to have such an attentive sales person show us around the house; she is a real credit to her company. We think the rest of the team at Charters are also well on the case now we are STC and we get plenty of communication from them. Thoroughly recommended and well done all round!
Hi Helen, thank you for taking the time to review the service you received. It is much appreciated.

GoogleWe have recently sold our house through Charters. We had a bit of a mixed experience with them (mainly good) but would like to start with the positives which are due to a few individuals there. First of which is Jess, we met her when we started to consider moving, our house wasn’t on the market yet but Jess listened to exactly what we were looking for and we felt we were a genuine priority for her to help us find our next home. She’s a real asset to charters, very honest, reliable and knowledgeable in everything she does. Another who is like to mention and give thanks to was Lisa R, she dealt with us once our house had sold, she too was just very approachable, knowledgeable and understanding of our circumstances which was much appreciated. Charters as a whole we feel just lacks a little bit of team communication. We initially didn’t want a for sale sign, but one was up promptly when we had started the process. In terms of the viewings on our property they were a little hit and miss, we asked for an “open day” style but got told with short notice this wasn’t happening then the viewings were all done by different people who I felt were coming in a little unsure of what they were trying to sell. After a few weeks on the market it was Jess who requested to come round so I could personally show her the house (she ended up selling it) which I just think makes a big difference to the overall selling experience. There were times we were called about one thing but then told another. The last encounter we had was them calling me after completion on the sale to ask when I was dropping the keys in for the new homeowners only to advise them I had done this 3 days prior which was at the request of someone else at charters. Little things like this I think really create a bit of disappointment with them when we chose them (mainly because of Jess) but also as they had a great reputation in the area. Overall Charters are good, just with thanks to some individuals there.
Therese, thank you for taking the time to review the service you have received, it is much appreciated. All your comments will be taken on board and shared with the team. All the very best for the future!

GoogleJonathan Pinhorne is simply super. He inherited a challenging situation, and set to work making sure a painful situation was concluded with the least hassle possible. The three words I would use to describe him are: diplomatic, pragmatic, doer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. He's someone you definitely want on your side, and by your side.
Nee, thank you for the review in relation to Jonathan Pinhorne. It is much appreciated.
