We have used Horton & Garton previously to manage our rental and recently decided to sell. After contacting other local agents we chose H&G. This proved to be a good choice, the owner John recognised us upon entering the shop and was friendly and knowledgeable . His team supported us well through a quick and smooth sales process overseen by George.

Good morning Alvaro, I am disappointed to read your review and comments and I do understand your frustration that our vendor client did not accept you offer on the property. In the UK the estate agent works for the vendor client and not the buyer, so I recommend that you remain mindful of this with your buying experience next time. As we, both Michelle and I, conveyed to you on several occasions (whilst I was on holidays in another time zone by call and by text messages) we received multiple interest and bids on the property, our vendor client was also overseas and the decision to sell and accept an offer was a family one. I feel your choice of words and review are unfair and in the UK what I would call “bad eggs” on your behalf… fortunately for you… you mentioned to me on two occasions, when we spoke, that you “already had an offer in on another property with another agent so all is not lost”. Good luck to you on that property and I wish you all the very best with your next/ 4th purchase and I ask you politely that you kindly remove your 1- star review. I can confirm that your contact details have already been removed from our system and for the moment your property search with Horton and Garton has been archived. Thank you. John Horton, Owner and Director.

"Selling your house is stressful at the best of times but particularly so during a cost-of-living crisis. It is a credit to John Horton and his dynamic young team that they kept plugging away when all around them chains were collapsing and mortgages were becoming unaffordable - and, having found us that rare beast, a cash buyer, went the extra mile to close the deal. John and his assistant, George Smith, were also instrumental in introducing us to our new home, something for which we will be forever grateful " - Mark & Jeanette, W12, soon-to-be W4

Great experience as a 1st time buyer with continuous help from George and the team at Horton and Garton. George was available during the whole process and made sure that both parties always find common ground. The process was smooth and was completed in nearly 2 months.

Excellent service. Horton and Garton bring with them a wealth of in depth knowledge when dealing with the W6 residential market. Their assessment of the market and strategy to engineer a sale was spot on. John and team were faultless. Thank you for everything Simon and Family

Hi Simon and family, thank you for sharing your super 5 star review working with Horton and Garton and the selling experience… We have closed the circle and I cannot quite believe it that it is almost 15 years since you bought the house with Horton and Garton. How time has flown by… Thank you for your business and your trust in us and the sales team to secure you the willing and able buyer and close the sale at full asking price. It always a pleasure for me to see and read the positive comments and it was a team effort and well-done George Smith closing the sale and progressing matters to a smooth and effective exchange and completion. This is what I would call another textbook Horton and Garton sale. On behalf of all the team we wish you all the very best for 2023, Kind regards, John Horton, Director and owner.

Couldn't recommend Horton and Garton enough! We have moved 4/5 times now in London and this was by far the most efficient and helpful estate agent we have used. Shiyane in particular was a huge help along every step of the way! Such a stress-free moving and leasing process thanks to Horton and Garton - thank you!

What an amazing experience working with John Horton, George, Zach and the entire team! Never a dull moment with this first class company. Fantastic communication and guidance at every stage. Nothing was too difficult. If you are wondering which estate agent to employ to help you sell your property, look no further.

Agent replied · 30 September 2023

Hi Olivia, thank you so much for your super 5-star review. Thank you for your business and your instructions to Horton and Garton to market and sell the Brackenbury Village house and home. I will do my very best to see if your Aunt's wish can be made... for a home visit by her 4 legged friends... It was a pleasure working with you and I have to say a record timeframe of 25 days from first viewing to completion (including weekends) which I can say is very fast and almost a record... I always say the success of the estate agent is working with the very best properties, clients and buyers and we delivered a result where all parties were delighted with the result. I trust your jet lag has passed and I really do hope our paths cross again whether this be in London, Rome or Sydney. On behalf of Zach, George and myself all the very best and do keep in touch. Kind regards, John Horton Owner and Director.

In terms of sales, Horton & Garton know their patch very well and were able to obtain offers on our house for the asking price within days - twice, in fact, as the first buyer fell through. We also asked them to help us find a smaller house in the area, and they took a lot of time to understand our requirements. Ultimately, we decided not to go ahead but that was more to do with housing stock on the market than Horton & Garton. We were impressed by the personal service this local independent agency offered and the way they were always available for advice generally.

We appreciate Shiyane and H&G team for helping us find a flat. Shiyane’s energy, passion, and her communication skills relieved our stress of house finding amid the competitive renting market. My leasing process was further supported by an awesome team that responded to each of my questions with an amazing speed and explained all the detail to us with lots of patience. Great service!

On the 21st of June, I received a call from Horton & Garton confirming two viewings ( Alexandra House and Shepherd Bush) scheduled for the upcoming Saturday at 12pm. They assured me that they would send a confirmation email with all the necessary details. Excited about the potential properties, I rearranged my plans and made arrangements to come to Hammersmith. However, on the day of the viewings, I decided to double-check with the agent to confirm the viewing times and addresses. To my dismay, the agent informed me that no one had signed me in yet. I was taken aback by this news, as I had specifically received a call to confirm the appointments and had rearranged my schedule accordingly. What frustrated me the most was the lack of responsibility and accountability from the agent. Not only did they fail to follow through with their promise of sending a confirmation email, but they also showed no remorse for the inconvenience caused. It was disappointing to realize that no one had taken the initiative to ensure that my appointments were properly scheduled. As a prospective buyer, I expected a higher level of professionalism and organization from the agent. This experience left me feeling disregarded and disrespected. It is essential for agents to understand the impact their actions, or lack thereof, can have on individuals who invest their time and effort in property hunting. In the future, I hope Horton & Garton improves their communication protocols and ensures that all appointments are diligently recorded and confirmed. Professionalism and responsibility should be the cornerstone of any customer-oriented service, and this experience fell short of those expectations.

My partner and I are first time buyers. Julien and the rest of the team at Horton & Garton did a great job on the transaction.

My partner and I recently bought our house together from H&G and Michelle was our agent. Michelle is highly professional and pleasant to work with. She is very responsive and always came to the property when we needed her there and went above and beyond to help with issues that inevitably emerged during the transaction. She is extremely organised, communicative, and friendly. Ultimately, we were buying our property during a very unstable time (post mini budget and rapid rate rises) with a lot of market uncertainty; I'm sure that if we didn't have Michelle diligently brokering the deal, it would have fallen over. I'm so very thankful we had her as our agent and we'd definitely work with her again.

Morning Libby, thank you very much for sharing your sharing yout 5-Star review on the google review platform.

Thankfully for your purchase was with Horton and Garton and Michelle Baxter was your agent and with her guidance, expertise and advice the offer process and conveyance was managed effectively from day one point of sale through to completion. Michelle is diligent, focussed and responsive to all her clients and buyers and is a well-respected member of the team. On behalf of Michelle and myself we wish you all the very best settling into your new home. Kind regards, John Horton Director, and owner.
