I recently had the pleasure of working with the Winchester lettings team at Charters while searching for a rental property. Although I ultimately chose another property elsewhere, I was thoroughly impressed by the proactive and professional service provided by Charters. In particular, Ash, who assisted with viewings, was exceptionally professional, friendly, and courteous. Ash's extensive knowledge of the local Winchester rental market and the options available for investors in rental property was invaluable. Additionally, Gary was brilliant with his speedy follow-up, making the entire process exceptionally easy for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Ash, Gary, and the rest of the Charters lettings team to anyone looking for the right rental property in Winchester. They are an efficient, friendly, and very professional team.

We have recently sold our house with Charters and have been very happy by the service provided by Edward and the team. A special mention to Jake and Cameron on the sales team who kept us updated on viewings and promptly provided feedback. They were always helpful and polite. Most importantly , they achieved a quick sale which proceeded smoothly thanks to Stephen in the sales progression team. I am more than happy to recommend Charters to anyone looking to sell.

A professional and prompt service. Kirstie Stone helped me through all the stages of letting and managing my flat. She gave me excellent advice, sorted out any queries and made the process stress free. I have no hesitation in recommending Charters and Kirstie to you.

Second time renting through Charters, and I couldn’t ask for more! Both times Kirstie Stone has helped me find the right property and I totally feel that she is able to understand my needs and help me achieve them. Any questions or concerns that I have had Kirstie is able to help, and I couldn’t fault my experience with her. Chatters as a company are also great and extremely fast fixing a small issue with the boiler. Highly recommend.

Charters have been the most trusted estate agents I have ever used. They have been amazing in securing me a flat in due time. Especially Ash was very professional, honest, understanding of my situation, took time to explain things to me and always prompt to listen and to help. You have been a star in securing me what I want. Thank you Ash and Charters

I would highly recommend Kirstie Stone from Charters in Farnham for any lettings arrangements. She quickly arranged a viewing for us on a property in a sought after location and was very efficient in following up with the landlord and securing our tenancy. We are particularly grateful to her as we are moving from overseas and she accommodated our request of a virtual viewing and immediately followed up with videos of the property so we could easily decide whether it was right for us in lieu of viewing it in person. She also quickly answered our MANY queries whilst we completed the tenancy admin and supported us throughout the process. We really appreciate all her help and she made a normally stressful process run smoothly and hassle free. Thank you Kirstie :)

Excellent Letting Agents. My property has been handled by the Farnham staff Jacqui McKeown and Kirstie Stone for many years and have always had excellent service. I’ve just gone through a change of tenancy and the whole process was very smooth. All the paperwork is online can be dealt with quickly and completed in a matter of minutes. I can highly recommend them.

I had the pleasure of dealing with Nick & Josh from the new Farnham branch, both are fabulous! I was on a pretty tight time frame when I popped in a few weeks ago & they did just as I asked, I would like to buy my dream house today please! They fitted in a viewing immediately around my hectic schedule of viewings that day & worked efficiently to secure me my perfect home! I am very pleased I happened to walk past the property soon after they put their For Sale sign up, coincidentally saw their office the next day & went on to secure a deal even before the house went on the market! Highly recommend the Charters team & am super happy that they are looking after my beautiful new house purchase! ❤️

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Charters and in particular with Cameron Broom during my buying journey. I couldn’t be more impressed with the professionalism and genuine care. From the very first meeting, it was evident that Cameron prioritized understanding my needs and ensuring every step of the process was seamless. He consistently went above and beyond, offering expert advice, clear communication, and unparalleled attention to detail. I wholeheartedly recommend Charters to anyone seeking a reliable, knowledgeable, and caring real estate agent.

I would totally 100% recommend Megan Morgan mortgage adviser. Megan was very professional, polite and explained everything clearly, very helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable and has been absolutely amazing from start to finish with everything. She set my mind more at rest. She was available all the time to answer any questions I had and would always return my calls. She explained everything really well and clearly. I felt so supported through the process. She assisted me with finding the right mortgage provider for me and my particular situation. I also appreciated her friendly disposition. Thank you so much Megan Morgan for all your help and support while buying our first home. You were so helpful. I would definitely recommend her services to everyone. Huge thanks.

Unfortunately, extremely difficult to buy a house through Charters from recent experience... I've never had to work so hard to try and spend the thick end of a million pounds before. What a shame. I have a property I need to sell going to market imminently, and based on my experience, I shall be using someone else for this. I wouldn't usually write an online review, but when I offered my feedback directly to them, I was addressed with a somewhat condescending tone and told "this has always been our policy". Somewhat like the (attenpted) purchasing experience with a Rolex AD, it seems like you need to be "lucky enough to pass criteria" to be considered as a potential customer... As they apparently aren't willing to receive constructive feedback & adapt to learn and better accommodate the needs of customers, I felt duty-bound to inform others who may want to avoid frustration when trying to find a house to buy/reach a wider audience when selling a property.

Mr Cousins, I (Oliver Purvis, Branch Partner) just tried to call to discuss the below disappointing review you left us. I’m sorry that you found the service here to be unsatisfactory, I would love to hear the feedback you have regarding the way my staff dealt with you and discuss the matter further. We take customer service and client satisfaction very seriously, it has been the back bone of our business since it started over a decade ago, so to hear this feedback is very disappointing. I am happy to assist you in any way that I can to ensure that your experience with Charters is as positive as it can be. Please do let me know if there is anything I can do for you? I note that you are booked in to see properties with us tomorrow, I have asked that one of my senior colleague Paul to conduct the appointment, he knows the house very well. I have also provisioned extra time for you, so you can take a good look and not be rushed. Once again, please accept my apologies for your negative experience with our Winchester Office. It’s very disappointing to hear and certainly not how we wish customers to feel when using our service in any way. Please do let me know if you have any further feedback or comments to make as per the review.

Avoid taking their recommended solicitors, Dutton Gregory, if you're using Charters for a property transaction. Currently progressing a complaint with these cowboy conveyancers after 4 defects have been reported on the leasehold of a property I'm currently selling, which Dutton Gregory handled the purchase of back in 2019 and completely missed the issues or gave me wrong advice. The icing on the cake is their complaints procedure is just as poor as their conveyancing service.

Dear Adrian, your review centres around your interaction with Dutton Gregory back in 2019. We cannot find you on our system, but we are keen to discuss this with you further. Please email marketing@chartersestateagents.co.uk to continue this conversation. Alternatively, please remove this review as these can be damaging to a business. Thank you.
