Relocating to a new area can be both time consuming and stressful, particularly in the current competitive rental market. Sarah at Charters has provided an honest, professional and efficient service and helped me secure a rental property seamlessly. Highly recommended.
Charlotte, thank you for taking the time to review the service you have received. Sarah will be delighted.
5/5
With quite fussy requirements about the location I wanted I was thrilled to find a rental property relatively quickly with Charters. Sarah was super helpful through the whole viewing process from appointments to offer - responsive, extremely patient and knowledgeable on the market, area & property options plus keeping me in the loop at all times. Thank you Sarah & Charters.
Thank you for taking the time to review the service you received. It is much appreciated.

Originally placed on the market with A N Other Winchester estate agent November 2020. 11 Months of a few viewings and 1 poor offer. Switched too Charters Oct 2021 and had about 5 viewings and 2 serious offers within 2 weeks. Elle in the Winchester office and Jo in Southampton were superb. My mistake thinking that everyone just views via Rightmove, Zoopla etc. Charters sold my property and followed the sale through constantly. A different class of Estate Agent. 10/10
Thank you for taking the time to review the service you received. It is much appreciated.

Me and my family have been looking for an apartment for 2 months now. Thanks to Charters we managed to one find one in short amount of time. Initially we were going to view a different apartment from the one we are going to move in but a call from Rosie changed our opinion. Massive thank you to Rosie and Gary for all the help and hard work they are doing and of course the rest of the team as well. Nothing but an amazing team.
Michaela, thank you for leaving this review, it is much appreciated.

We’ve been dealing with Sarah Bainbridge and the experience so far has been excellent! I run a Facilities Management business so really appreciate the level of customer service we have received especially around the efficiency with which Sarah has handled the whole process. Easily recommended.
Thank you!
5/5
Eden and the rest of the team at the Winchester branch are a total pleasure to deal with. They have made a relatively nerve wracking purchase process incredibly stress free! With really clear and empathetic feedback and prompt responses. All working together as a team made dealing with anyone in the office a breeze as they were all fully informed and across the purchase which again made my life so much easier! Added to that the incredibly caring and human approach Eden gave me when I had secured the sale was a massive cut above the service I’ve received in the past from any other estate agents. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience with us, Eden will be delighted!

An effortless experience for us by using Gary and his team at Charters. We sought their advice at every step; from presenting the house, through photography and compliance certificates to signed tenancy agreement the process was seamless. They are friendly, helpful, highly professional, have a wealth of experience, and put us first throughout. Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to review the service, it is much appreciated.

I had a viewing with Sarah Bainbridge who was absolutely amazing. She showed us around and made sure we understood where everything was and gave us some good tips and information which definitely helped us make the decision. Would definitely recommend going through Charters for a smooth and easy experience!
5/5
It's a pleasure to meet Sarah. She knew we had just come to England with baby, She helped us find a house at the first time and patiently answered many of our renting procedures. She is a professional agent and I really appreciate her help.
Thank you for the review!
5/5
I enquired initially about a flat to rent in Winchester, Sarah emailed back swiftly and was so helpful finding the right flat for us; advising us that that flat was already in the process of being let and highly sought after, however she had an alternative we might like. She called me and explained everything in detail and even shared her WhatsApp with me so that she could send me a video tour, since we were 3hrs away! Sarah was personable, friendly and absolutely lovely. She answered all of my questions ridiculously quickly and made me feel so at ease, and we ended up going for the other flat that she had suggested! It was a bit of a nightmare trying to find somewhere to live in Winchester originally; however Sarah made it so smooth and easy and I have no doubt that even if there wasn't anything available at the time, then she would have done everything to collect my details etc so that she could contact us when something came up! Thank you Sarah and your team!
Chloe, this feedback is great to get and it will be passed to Sarah and her team, thank you!

Cameron, from Charters Winchester has been so helpful to us so far in our property search. It has been very challenging to find our next home, but Cameron has gone above and beyond in helping us in our search, even though we're not selling with Charters. He always responds to emails, suggests properties and is prepared to personally seek out sellers to see if he can find us the right one.
Clare, thank you for taking the time to review the service you received. It is much appreciated.

We spent months looking for a property to rent in Winchester. A difficult market and some pretty particular requirements made this a tough task. Sarah was fantastic. She delivered a real personal service and made sure we found the right place.
Thanks Alex, great news and we appreciate the review.
5/5
Our experience with finding a rented property though Charters was exemplary. Sarah was very personable and seemed driven to ensure we found a property we liked. She lined up a full day of viewings, which we were shown by the equally pleasant Rosie and Gary, including a last minute addition that we ended up putting in an offer for.
Louis, thank you for leaving this review, it is much appreciated.

I have nothing but good things to say about Charter’s Winchester! From first viewing to exchanging contracts, the whole team has been incredibly responsive, friendly and always professional in everything they’ve done. In particular, Peter and Stephanie have been so helpful and are always willing to go the extra mile to help get things done. They really are a level apart from other agents I’ve dealt with and I wouldn’t hesitate in using them in the future. Thank you Charters!
Thank you for the review Charlotte, it is much aoppreciated.
