My partner and myself have spent the last 9 months dealing with Charters, Seeking to purchase our first property together. With the first property falling through and now just having exchanged on the 2nd, it wasn’t the smoothest of transactions. However, I commend the team at Charters for their professionalism, excellent communication and friendly advice along the way. Special thanks to Edward Kendall who we have dealt with from the start. Very proactive and an all round nice guy. Thank you Ed!

Wouldn't recommend.

Charters are very proactive in relation to getting buyers through your door and getting a good price for your property. However once they secured a sale they apeared to wash their hands of the transaction. I bought a new build and had something called "Express Movers" to act as an intermediary between the agents, developers and the mortgage company' Trying to communicate with my buyers was impossible and any request I made for messages to be passed to my buyers was either ignored or met with, and I quote; "As you are aware the New Homes Group do the direct sales chasing" this was from Jo Goodard the Sales Negotiator. It would seem then they were paid £4650 for showing six or seven potential buyers and that was about it. They didn't chase my buyers or facilitate any interaction. They didn't even send an email to confirm the Sale, Thank me for their payment, or even read the meters. If you want to an agent to find you a buyer quickly I can't recommend them highly enough. If you want you poor service, your emails ignored, a sense of apathy and complacency from your your agent so they can sit back and wait for their fees after that point they're very good at that too.

Dear Mr Palmer, after looking through the records here, it would seem that your dissatisfaction should be expressed towards The New Homes Group. As soon as you purhcased a home through them, they made it absolutely clear that we were not allowed to make contact with you. This was relayed to you at the time. The poor communication following this purchase was not at the hands of our sales progression team, we were merely following the guidance given to us by The New Homes Group.

Need to be careful

We live away from the property, so asked to find a tenant as well as manage it. It took months to find the new tenant, and the surprisingly electric bill we got for the empty period of the property, was more than double compered to when someone was living there. We made enquire about it, but they did not want to do anything about it and start telling me if we visited and used it, of cause not! also inventory Clark from Charters made numerous mistakes, she did not notice the net curtains were missing, that had been taken by previous tenant, miscount the number of keys, and so on. so please be careful to dealt with them.

Why do Charters leave this signs lying in beautiful hedges once they have finished with them?

Kevin · 27 January 2022 · Charters Winchester

Agent replied · 29 July 2023

Dear Kevin, apologies for the very long delay in responding, we have only just come onto Trustpilot as we typically direct customers towards Feefo (the same as Trustpilot but another business) and Google reviews for guidance. With reference to your comments, we don't leave boards lying anywhere - we have board companies who put these up for us and take them down. They are too expensive to disregard each time. The board you are referring to may have fallen down in bad weather, been vandalised or removed without permission.

About 2 months ago I applied for a house to rent in Alton. At the same time, I gave my information for the mortgage. They didn't say anything positive or negative. they just ignored it. totally disrespectful. Even the questions I asked about the heating status of the house I went to rent and the barracks could not be answered properly. They just said they didn't know and delayed it. I have experienced that they are completely uninterested and unserious.

We are a young couple relocating from London to Winchester for a professional career move and were looking for 2-bedroom rental properties close to the amenities of central Winchester. We didn't have much prior knowledge of the local area or property market. Kathryn Dyer, our lettings negotiator was a fantastic source of advice and kept us fully up to speed with properties coming onto the market throughout our search process. The process from lettings to pre-tenancy checklist to move in was smooth and well-managed and reflective of a cohesive and organised team. We have just moved in to a wonderful 2-bed in Fulflood and couldn't be happier. Thank you.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We chose Charters because we've previously experienced their professionalism and tenacity whilst in the market to buy. As selling agents, Mark and the team have used these qualities throughout to garner interest in our property, and ultimately found a buyer in a trying market. Communication from the team was also consistently good.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Kathryn in lettings has been exceptional. She went above and beyond to help friend of mine who moved to Winchester from South Africa. Without her help my friends would have not found a rental property as the marketplace is so competitive at the moment. Her service was professional, prompt and everything explained clearly. We have all been very happy with the service offered.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Charters Sales Team We're in the process of buying a house in Winchester having previously rented a property from Charters (see lettings review below), and dealing with their Sales team has been just as wonderfully straightforward as dealing with their Lettings team was. A huge and well-deserved shout-out goes to Jonny Gray, who from the beginning was so flexible and helpful (and so friendly!) organising viewings at such short notice for us. We had to take our rather lively 3 year old to all viewings and Jonny was so accommodating and tolerant and made the experience so easy for us. Our young daughter still references "that nice man from the new house!" The reason we were able to progress so quickly with our offer was solely down to Jonny, and now we're about to exchange contracts this week! Most recently we've been dealing with the Sales progression team and Jo Goddard is a total superstar with second-to-none communication skills and levels of efficiency I haven't seen before in all my working years. Charters are incredible and the best there is. Charters Lettings Team My experience with Charters Winchester has been exceptional, to say the least. Leaving London after 12 years is daunting, but when I first registered with the Charters Lettings team Kathryn called me and thoroughly went through all our requirements and I immediately knew that she really understood what we were looking for. That was confirmed the next day when she sent me a brochure for a property that wasn't live yet but soon would be. The property was perfect and ticked all our boxes. I was able to view it the following week and Gary who showed me around was wonderful! Pleased to say we now have our move-in date! (Gary even sent me a friendly WhatsApp on Easter Sunday to let me know our offer had been accepted). The administrative process for reference checks etc has been the most pain-free and easy - far more so than any of our rental experiences in London. Once our tenancy agreement has come to an end we'll be buying a house in Winchester and will come straight to Charters for that - their property portfolio looks so impressive!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Great service from Eden and the rest of the sales team at Charters, Winchester. They were very helpful (and patient) in helping my family find a home in our relocation from London to Winchester. Eden, especially, gave us lots of local information, impartial advice and kept us informed of all the suitable properties coming on to the market. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use them them again!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
