I’m writing this review to sincerely thank Lydia Allingham and the whole team at the Charters. Although we ultimately didn't proceed to completion with them (due to our own changing circumstances), the service we received was outstanding. From viewings to offer stage, every step was handled with transparency, patience, and genuine care. They never rushed us or made us feel uncomfortable. Instead, they listened to our needs and provided thoughtful guidance. Even though this particular sale didn't go through with them, I have no doubt they are one of the best in the business. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

Where do I begin?! All the staff are wonderful and hardworking. I was on the market not even 2 weeks and my 1 bed flat was sold! It’s been a delight working with Brett, Lydia, Kanika, Harry and Cameron. Jorgia showed us around our soon to be new home and she has also been such a great help and also came across very sincere. Thank you so much Charters! If you want the job done and done well, this is the agent to instruct! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

I am very disappointed with the service I have received during the sale of my property. Throughout the process I have had to repeatedly ask for progress updates, but have mostly received generic responses stating that things are β€œawaiting review” rather than clear, proactive communication. There has been a lack of regular progress reports, limited chasing of outstanding matters, and very little evidence of active involvement in moving the sale forward. Overall, the communication has felt inconsistent and unhelpful at a time when clear updates and proactive management are really needed.

We recently viewed a property at Bruchhurst Lodge with Kristie Stone from Charters Farnham, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Kristie was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the viewing. She took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and provided valuable information about the property and the local area. Her approach was never pushy; instead, she made us feel comfortable and gave us the space we needed to properly explore the property while remaining available whenever we needed assistance. What stood out most was Kristie’s excellent communication and genuine enthusiasm. She clearly cares about helping clients find the right home and goes the extra mile to ensure a positive experience. We would highly recommend Kristie Stone and the team at Charters Farnham to anyone looking to buy or rent a property. Thank you, Kristie, for your professionalism and exceptional service.

I recently dealt with the selling team at Charters, Chandlers Ford, and even though I didn’t end up purchasing a property through them, I genuinely feel they deserve a positive review. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and surprisingly enjoyable. A special mention has to go to Jorgia, who was consistently brilliant throughout. She was friendly, proactive, knowledgeable and made the whole process feel far less stressful. She kept me updated without ever being pushy, answered all of my questions, and genuinely seemed to care about helping me find the right place rather than just pushing a sale. Even though my purchase ended up going in a different direction, the level of service I received from Jorgia stood out. I’d happily recommend Charters to anyone looking for an estate agent that’s communicative, honest, and genuinely supportive.

We have been searching for a property for a while now, and Charters have been great. They have been sending properties through that match our criteria before they even go on Rightmove. A property was sent to us by Kanika Masoun on 8th May, and we booked a viewing on 12th May. Kanika stepped in at the last minute due to illness to do the viewing for us, and we're so glad she did. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient. No rushing around the property, but let us take our time. She answered all our questions, knew the sellers situation and did a follow up call congratulating us on having our offer accepted. Thank you Kanika and Charters.

I had a very disappointing experience with this estate agent, particularly with Rosie Price, the Property Relationship Manager. After my landlord agreed that I could leave the property before the end of the tenancy, the agency still attempted to charge me fees for check-in, check-out, deposit registration, and administration. My understanding was that some of these fees are not permitted to be charged to tenants under current legislation. When I raised this and explained my concerns, I was initially told not to worry about paying them. However, I was later still asked to pay administration and deposit registration fees. I requested that any agreed charges be deducted from my deposit, which was being held on behalf of the landlord, but this was refused. It was only after my landlord intervened and spoke with the agency that they finally agreed to take the amount from the deposit. In addition to this, I experienced poor communication throughout the process, with several emails being ignored and long delays in receiving responses. Overall, I found the handling of my tenancy termination and financial matters frustrating and unprofessional. I hope the agency improves its communication and ensures that tenants are treated fairly and consistently in the future.

Zhyar Β· 11 June 2026 Β· Charters Chandlers Ford (13 Oakmount Road)

Agent replied Β· 11 October 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience and appreciate you taking the time to raise your concerns. The charges referenced relate to our standard early surrender process, which was clearly outlined and communicated at the time. As part of this process, associated costs are typically payable prior to vacating the property. At the point these charges were discussed, we were not aware of any separate agreement made directly between yourself and the landlord regarding these fees. Once this was brought to our attention, we acted promptly to review the situation and the relevant charges were removed, with the appropriate refund returned to you. We are, however, disappointed to hear your comments regarding communication and response times. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we fully recognise how important clear and timely communication is, particularly at the end of a tenancy. We will take your feedback on board as part of our ongoing efforts to improve our service. Should you wish to discuss the matter further, please feel free to contact us directly, quoting your property details. Thank you,

I would highly recommend Charters Estate & Letting Agents in Farnham, and especially Kirstie Stone. Almost four years ago, my family and I came to the UK from Ukraine because of the war, and finding a rental home at that time was extremely difficult. With pets, it felt almost impossible, as many agencies and landlords were not willing to consider our situation. We mainly dealt with Kirstie, and she was incredibly kind, professional and understanding. She took the time to listen to our circumstances and helped us secure a home when we really needed stability and support. Her help made a huge difference to our family during a very difficult period, and we have always remembered and appreciated it. We are very grateful and would happily recommend Kirstie and Charters Farnham.

We have been helped by Jorgia and she has been fantastic so far. Very proffesional and informative and helpful. We have paused our search but as soon as we are ready we will be coming straight back to her. She has helped build up a relationship of trust and for such a big purchase that's the most important thing for us.

The worst letting agency I've ever dealt with. Pushed my move in date because they failed to clean the property in time, scheduled an inspection twice over the year I lived in my property and didn't turn up either time with no explanation. My tenancy ended on 10/03/26 and still haven't received my deposit back and it's 01/05/26. Avoid at all costs.

Great service from Lydia We viewed a few different properties with Lydia Allingham at Charters over the course of a couple of weeks. Lydia took time to understand really quickly what it was that we were looking for. She recognised what we were looking for better than us! Lydia recommended a property which we had previously glazed over in our search and it turned out to be the one we wanted to offer on. We are just at the beginning of our property journey but very confident that with Lydia's consistency, professionalism and solid approach that we will get the outcome we hope for. Thank you, Lydia!
