Really happy with the service we received from H&G. We trusted their advice to price the property competitively to generate interest - interest which overwhelmed us and resulted in many offers over asking from which we took the best - and all agreed within 2 weeks of the property going on the market. With a one year old and in a one bed flat, this was exceptional considering how some overly priced properties languish and are then perceived as "damaged goods". Thanks Martin for a sound strategy and a special thank you to Phil Coombes, the Hammersmith Terrier, who rather than take his foot off the gas when a sale is agreed, instead goes into overdrive juggling buyers/solicitors/vendors to make sure the sale is completed smoothly and speedily.

Dear Amy, Thank you so much for sharing your review and positive experience working with the Horton and Garton sales team. I have to say this was "a text book estate agency purchase and sale" and if every transaction could progress as smoothly as this one... our job would be much more enjoyable. A job done very well - 100% professional from start to finish. You bought in to Martin's best advice and strategy with our pricing and the sales team best efforts ensured the A1 number one buyer was secured for your home! Best wishes with your onwards move and settling in to your new family house and home. Pop in and see us next time you are back in Glamour-smith! Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Phil did a fantastic job for us selling our home and I unreservedly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property. He worked with us to understand the complex objectives we were trying to achieve in scaling up to a larger property, so he understood just the right type of buyer whilst also being pivotal in finding the perfect property for us to buy. Phil genuinely earned his fee through tenacity, hard work, positioning our property in different ways and ensuring a high quality buyer who could complete the deal effectively. He worked to a high ethical standard and we found him easy to deal with and available at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Hello Scott, Thank you for sharing your wonderful review with google readers. My colleague Phil Coombes is a Senior member of the Horton and Garton sales team one of a very few individuals within the property business who epitomises what a genuine professional estate agent should be and what future agents should aspire too. His work ethic and customer service skills are second to none and he has a great understanding of both buyer and sellers expectations with his work. Best wishes settling in to your new home. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Working with H&G’s Phil Coombes was a real pleasure right from the viewings stage through to completion. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and listens carefully to what his clients are looking for in their new homes. Not once did he show me a place with too few bedrooms or that was wildly over budget; after meeting around ten agents during my search, H&G was alone in this. Phil also gives his clients space and time during viewings so they can make their own minds up about the look and feel of a property. To me, this was really valuable. After our offer was accepted, he worked hard and efficiently towards a smooth completion. We are very happy to recommend him, and H&G, to anyone looking to buy in W6.

Clementine · 1 October 2019 · Horton and Garton London (176 King Street)

Agent replied

Hello Clem, Thank you for sharing your wonderful review with google reviewers. Phil is a senior member and very much a key part of an incredibly strong and able sales team here at Horton and Garton. Phil is nick named the "Hammersmith Terrier" by many of the local solicitors for his tenacity and doggedness in seeing the sale through from point of sale to exchange... and as every career estate agent knows very well the the hard work in every sale starts once best terms are agreed. Phil is 100% reliably reliable and constantly delivers on providing a high level of customer service to vendors and buyers alike, which within our profession and industry may be a rarity! Looking forward to receiving our invite to the house warming party! On behalf of my colleague Phil and all of the sales team best wishes and we shall see you soon. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

We recently sold our home with Horton & Garton and from the first moment they were great to deal with. They know the area inside out and more importantly understand the market. We trusted them to advise us on strategy and pricing and they were 100% right. They’re also lovely to deal with. If you’re selling in the area, these are the guys to go with. Big thanks Phil, Martin and all the team.

Martin and Phil are the senior key members of a very robust and experienced sales team and it's always our pleasure to be working with the very best properties and clients in 'Our Patch' of Hammersmith, W6.

John Horton is quite frankly a legend in his own time! He has a top notch sales team who got me over the asking price in a very challenging market. Martin and Phil put a huge effort into getting me the best possible price, including doing viewings on a Sunday. They gave wise advice on choosing a serious buyer and resolving some bumps along the way. I could not have been happier with the result. I would highly recommend Horton & Garton.

We were lucky enough to find our dream home with the help of Phil Coombes this summer. H&G have an amazing portfolio of properties in West London and have an intimate knowledge of the area. Phil helped put together a really great list of potential places and himself showed us around with no stone unturned and no loft unexplored. He is knowledgeable and friendly and as a buyer makes you feel that he cares about your interests too. Also because of Phil the negotiation phase was smooth, and he kept all sides updated as we went through to exchange, always available to answer any queries or provide more information. Recommend highly.

Simon · 1 October 2019 · Horton and Garton London (176 King Street)

Hello Simon, Thank you for review. My colleague Phil Coombes is one of the very best estate agents working in west London today and he is very much at the top of his business. Phil "just knows" and he is always going the extra mile for his customers and communicates and updates on a regular basis. Phil also has a robust work ethic ensuring a positive customer experience with every step of the process. I am sure you are going to be very happy in your new Ravenscourt Park home and all the very best with the move in! Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

We have just completed on the sale of our flat towards Brook Green in W6, and I have to say it was a smooth and exceptional service from all the H&G team!! Things happened on time, with very timely communication and support all the way through from Phil Coombes. Though all the team have been excellent, Phil was in daily contact with me about the market, advising on pricing and viewing feedback! Phil would go out of his way, and work into the evening to accommodate late viewings and keep me updated. He was instrumental in bridging the gap between the solicitors, and took the hassle away by going above and beyond! His knowledge of the area and deep experience reflects the number of successful transactions he’s overseen! Thank you immensely to Phil and all of John Horton’s team at H&G!!

On behalf of all the team at Horton and Garton we wish you all the very best for 2019 and your next move! Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

I have know and worked with Martin and Phil for many years now and have found them to be fabulous to deal with. I find properties for clients to buy in the area and I know every time I liaise with them I will be greeted with enthusiasm, sound knowledge and a willingness to go the extra mile. It is a tricky market at the moment and sellers need agents who are prepared to do more than just list their property. I would not hesitate to recommend the Horton & Garton team to provide a proactive, professional and friendly service.

Phil gets the job done! We sold our flat through H&G and had the pleasure of working with Phil. Phil’s professionalism and persistence ensured that the sale went through smoothly and promptly, especially considering the current market conditions. Phil did an excellent job keeping all parties engaged and informed. Without Phil, we believe that the exchange / completion dates would have taken longer. Phil’s experience and understanding of current market trends were great assets. We would definitely work with H&G in the future and have always appreciated how they have looked after us.

They understand the local area and the property market very well, and they gave us many honest and incredibly useful advice, especially when we were facing setbacks. They also liaised and answered our enquiries efficiently during the process which gave us further assurance. Overall, I highly recommend Horton and Garton!

Highly recommend Horton and Garton. When Phil Coombes said he was committed to finding us a family home we were skeptical. We've now moved into our dream home (completed within 3 months) and all the other H&G staff we met also offered a very good service. Ashley Clement and Martin Clement helped us with the logistics of the apartment we were moving out of. Overall an excellent service and not like any other estate agents I have ever used in the last 20 years. Well done, and thank you.

I have recently completed a purchase of my first property, Phil Combes was the agent with whom I dealt with and I just wanted to drop you a note to say how helpful and knowledgeable he was. With my parents being guarantors on the property, he fully included them and was available at any time for them which was very helpful as they are not from London so had to travel. He was incredibly professional yet personable. He has an incredible knowledge of the area and even took myself and my parents on two separate occasions around the area to point out all the local restaurants and pubs in the Brackenbury village area, as well as, providing interesting facts such as 'the original Thomas Cook' and 'London's narrowest house'. He also had a very good knowledge in property which enabled me to make my decision to purchase the flat, as a first time buyer I appreciated the knowledge he had on other prices sold in the area and how flat compared with others nearby. I am loving living in the property purchased from Horton and Garton and will keep in touch regarding any future rentals and sales.

Phil Coombes has been terrific to work with and I wanted to write to add my huge thanks to him for persisting with us. We saw a number of places with Phil and then one day out of the blue he contacted us with a fabulous property which wasn't publicly on the market. We walked in, made an offer and have just exchanged. Phil is easy to deal with and responds really quickly to questions. Highly recommend.
