I have purchased 2 properties now from Ashley directly, the first in 2018 and the other in early 2020. Ashley is honest, friendly, thorough, and handles enquiries professionally and diligently, which is why I specifically asked for him again in relation to the 2nd property. I do feel that I am in safe hands with Ashely and he has my trust. Ashely has made the process of buying my properties straightforward, smooth and pleasant. My rating of 5/5 is is reflective of Ashley’s excellent attitude and commitment to getting the job done. Ashley is one in a million!

I have made purchase of my first house with Charters CF some time ago now but now cleaning my mailbox I recalled I was going to place comment here. So on average they are ok but obviously being paid from sell price they try to keep price up. They are not to pushy re use of their Finance Advisor but are pushy to make an appointment with him. Its a matter of him to evaluate if you can afford estate and then he gives an agents green light to process. I had a feeling not ok if person related to agency know what my affordability is. As this information allow agency to keep price high. Second objection is finalization of purchase. House supposed to be released on Wed but actually we've been told previous owner has a delay and agent have no keys yet. So next day when eventually afternoon house was ready when I arrived to collect a keys they didnt even know where they are or how they look like :) As I have some marketing/sales background I know it’s one of the most disrespectful ways to treat customer. For a person buying first house for a large amount of money getting keys is something unique. And when he/she gets to agency when nobody knows where keys are, not a word of sorry, not even a thank you card… it’s just not right. I got a few keys that I had to guess which door they open :) Selling cars for years I know that for collection car needs to be shiny, polished, perfumed, sales person is waiting with a keys and small thank you gift. Then customer for sure will be satisfied and more likely comes back. Don’t count on such treatment with Charters tough :) Other than that all went smooth and successful.

Agent replied

Matt, firstly, apologies that you had this experience with Charters, this is not the way we practice or behave so it is disappointing if you had these issues. We have tried to find you on our system to look into this further but cannot find any details. If you would like to confirm your email address, postal address and how long ago this happened we can look into it. Please email marketing@chartersestateagents.co.uk. With this in mind, it is very difficult for us to address these points accurately, however and once again, we're sorry you had this experience. Please feel free to email more details so we can look into this. Thank you.

In a difficult market pre- Brexit, the Charters Chandlers Ford team were totally focused on getting our property sold. With potential purchasers being cautious as a result of market conditions Elle McCrindle was extremely professional and driven in handling our sale. The service from Victoria Timson & Ella Archer went above and beyond in securing us a really good rental property at very short notice as our buyers wanted a speedy completion. Thanks to all at Charters who made moving actually bearable.

I let my property through Charters They made mistake after mistake. I was paying them to manage the property, but I kept having to chase everything myself. They didn't pay invoices that they hadn't made me aware of and kept changing inventory companies and the incoming inventory wasn't compared with the outgoing. They didn't do the checks as required on time and staff could be rude on occasion. When I came to sell the house they promised me weekly updates which didn't happen and they showed people around it who weren't interested in it just to have viewings. When I went with another company, the staff were rude and dismissive in their attitude. Very unprofessional and slap dash in my experience. As a customer, I want to feel my property was in good hands. I never felt confident that was the case.

Peter · 9 July 2020 · Charters Winchester

Agent replied

I am very sorry to learn of your dissatisfaction with the service received by both our sales and lettings teams. I can see that the tenancy at your property ended over 6 months ago and I have not been made aware of a complaint and the notes on our system seem to show a successful tenancy and your emails were polite and expressed gratitude for our service at the end. Your inventory check in and check out were undertaken by different companies because the original company stopped trading but the check out was of a very high quality which enabled you to make a successful claim for compensation against your tenant. If you would like to contact me directly to discuss your complaint then do please email me at s.diamond@chartersestateagents.co.uk, Suzanne Diamond - Lettings Director

Everyone who I've dealt with at Charters has been excellent but in particular I have to say that Edward has been more than brilliant to deal with when selling our house. Professional, extremely knowledgeable and always an absolute pleasure to chat to. Most importantly I always get kept up to date on viewings, how the market is and now I'm pleased to say the offer on my house. Thank you so much Ed!

Very good experience using Charters. We bought and sold through charters and had a buyer for our house within a matter of weeks. Always very open and transparent about the process. In particular, highly recommend Edward who has been extremely friendly and easy to work with throughout - on numerous occasions took time out to accompany us to visit our new property to plan building works, renovations etc so thank you, and the the team 👍🏻

We are currently in the process of buying and selling our home via Charters, Winchester. We purchased our current home via them in 2012 and did not hesitate to instruct them this time around, which was absolutely the right choice. Ollie and his team have provided us with a first class service. Everyone at Charters is clearly passionate about what they do and are a delight to work with. We can not recommend them highly enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Such a delightful, friendly introduction to Charters from Sarah followed by a very helpful chat with Kevin their mortgage advisor - It felt as though I was talking to an old friend with our absolute best interests in mind. Myself and my partner are first time buyers which can be an unsure confusing time but we both left feeling very confident with our next plans and have been smiling from ear to ear all day with excitement!! Thank you so much can't wait for our next meeting!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We instructed Charters to sell our property as they made a great impression when we were looking for our new home. Echoing some of the previous reviewers, the whole team was extremely professional, proactive and efficient whilst providing a friendly service. Matt was extremely accommodating arranging several viewings at short notice on the house we eventually bought, and Henry kept us updated at all times with the sale of our property which was agreed within a couple of weeks. The marketing, especially the photography really presented our house in the best possible light. During the sale and purchase, Stephen handled all the communication between buyers, sellers and solicitors, providing regular updates on the process. Nothing was too much trouble and we really felt that the whole process was extremely well managed. On the day of completion, Emily even came over in the evening with additional keys that the vendor had found for the windows which really was above and beyond what we would have expected. Additionally, I should mention that their in-house mortgage broker Mark was truly excellent in all regards, securing a mortgage with a great rate for us which saved us the hassle of dealing with the lenders directly.

Once again I have become the most appreciative recipient of the magnificent commitment that Tracey Docherty the Charters Lettings Manager provides. For she is always way-out-in-front on all matters, such that everything she does is performed in the most exacting of fashions; her organisational skills are truly amazing, affording her the ability to convey such a wonderful aura of gentle dynamism; and this exceptional aspect of her character, commingled with her utmost sincerity and vibrant persona makes her such an absolute joy to be associated with.
