The recent sale of our flat ended up being quite an undertaking and the part played by Horton and Garton was vital. We are most grateful to John for his personal interest and attention, to Martin for his enthusiasm and advice, as well as to Phil, who could not have done more to manage the sale; we were hugely impressed by his accessibility, commitment and positivity throughout the entire process. As landlords, we have also always been very happy with the excellent lettings and management service provided by Ashley and his team.

Good morning Mark, Thank you for your comments.

We look forward to working with you and your property moving forward. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

We registered with Horton and Garton at the end of last November. They were the 5th in a line of agents who came to see us in order to give a valuation. It was evident to us that they seemed to be the best of the bunch; they were clearly very passionate about the area and seemed to have splendid knowledge of the locality. More importantly, unlike some of the other agents, they were akin to human beings rather than robots! We were very sad that they did not actually sell our house, because they worked unstintingly on our behalf. It is clearly a cruel business, because ultimately, the house was sold by another agent who displayed few of the qualities of honesty and integrity which can be attributed to Horton and Garton and we would strongly recommend them.

Agent replied

Hello David, Thank you for sharing your experience working with us, it’s a very rare occassion when an ex client kindly leaves a wonderful review especially when we were not successful with your house sale!! Technically, we agreed the first sale however our buyers buyers got “cold feet” and the chain fell through; so to avoid you losing your purchase and to expedite the process I recommended you a couple of A N Other agents to work alongside Horton and Garton, I was not expecting the other agent to manage a sale ... but this time they did... not without a few communication challenges and issues however, most importantly to you, you did not lose your purchase and now you’ve exchanged, completed, moved and are now settling in to your new home the positive experience working with us hopefully will override the underhand non positive experiences of the other agent!! Best wishes, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Martin was helpful, trustworthy, easy to contact when necessary, skillful in building good relationships with different actors in the transaction and energetic in using those contacts to keep the transaction on course. A pleasure to deal with.

Agent replied

Good morning Mark, Thank you very much for your sharing your experience and your 5 star review whilst working with Horton and Garton.

Best wishes settling in to your new riverside home and enjoy the wonderful river views! Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Best agents we've used in London. Good advice taken from Phil Coombes which resulted in a strong buyer and sale in a very difficult market. Phil throughout the process was a pleasure to deal with.

Agent replied

Hello Simon, Thank you for your wonderful review. You bought your W6 home and house with me 15 years ago ( with my previous employer) and you promised that if and when you would sell you'd track me down... you did! and thank you for your business. I have always said when we are working with the very best of Brackenbury Village, Hammersmith family houses (and clients) Horton and Garton achieve best price, secure a genuine willing and able buyer on best terms. On behalf of all of the sales team all the very best in your new home. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Great experience so far with Horton and Garton. We needed to have a quick turnaround, and the staff were very helpful throughout this process. I'd like to give a shout out to Agatha, who was superb - we couldn't have done it without you! Would recommend!

Hell Salisa, Thank you for your super review. Our 5 Star lettings colleague, Aggie is a genuine 1st Class property industry career professional. It is a team effort and Aggie's colleagues, in the back office administration and accounts: Delia Macarie, Ashley Prowse and Germain Gulevic make all things happen with proven process and procedures for the benefit of both landlord and tenants.

We rented a property managed by Horton and Garton for 3 years. From the start they were helpful and communicative, responding quickly to any queries we had. This level of support and communication continued throughout the duration of our tenancy, for example, when a couple of older appliances gave up on us, replacements were organised very quickly and installation arranged with us for when was convenient. We are sad to be moving out and will be missing our little London flat!

Cameron · 29 July 2019 · Horton and Garton London (176 King Street)

Agent replied

Hi Cameron, Thank you very much for your wonderful review 'from the tenants perspective' and it is very refreshing to see and hear your comments. The back office lettings team ( property managers, accounts and administrators ) are 'the office smooth operators' who manage the systems and procedures which keep the flow of business all in the right direction. When the time comes after your world travelling trip and if you find yourselves back home in 'Our Patch' of west London pop in and see us! Thank you. Safe trip. John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Really good experience with these agents. When I was first looking for a place to buy John Horton took the time to go through some properties on the market (not necessarily ones listed with them) to demonstrate what was available at what prices and he also gave examples of some over-valuations. When I started to view properties I was looked after really well by Phil who was able to accommodate short notice viewings as well as repeat viewings. Once I had submitted an offer he was excellent at keeping in touch with me.

Ivor · 29 July 2019 · Horton and Garton London (176 King Street)

Agent replied

Hello Ivor, thank you for sharing your review. Working with you was a real pleasure... it was an “old school” first meeting face to face and for me so much better than email or phone... it’s “my old school experience” in the buying and selling process that meeting and communicating face to face with buyers and sellers expedites the process for the benefit of all involved! I’m happy and content using text, email, FaceTime or WhatsApp but for me you cannot beat ‘old school’ human face to face conversation... all the very best Moving in to tour new house and home. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Not a very nice bunch of people to deal with. Very much enjoyed being taunted in your office by what seemed to be someone on work experience. You got my deposit, well done. But your an estate agent, so I guess I’m still ahead. Edit - I’m pleased to say after being ripped off by yourselves I managed to find a much better property and have been renting happily for the past 2 years and have just been given my new 12 month contract. Incidentally one more expensive than the one you refused to let me. So is your policy one of finding good tenants or just scamming people out of deposits? Also I walked away because one of your colleagues practically dared me to in the office, maybe if he was more focused on his job than goading customers, things would have worked out differently!

Andy · 29 July 2019 · Horton and Garton London (176 King Street)

Agent replied

Dear Andy, It is unfortunate that you still feel unhappy 24 months after your original complaint and review was received. At the time back in February 2017 I asked you to contact me about your low star rating with our Horton and Garton lettings team which was over 2 years ago. The referencing procedure highlighted incorrect information which you provided on your tenancy referencing application and please do remember that it was your decision to withdraw from the the future tenancy and you forfeited the one weeks holding deposit, which for the record, was forwarded to the landlord client as per our terms and conditions - HG did not hold or keep the one week holding deposit. Our review site is not the platform to air and respond to historic and personal grievances. Best wishes. John Horton MNAEA MARLA

The service provided by Horton and Garton was professional, intelligent, honest and friendly. Martin Clements takes the time to get to know a potential buyer and to understand their tastes and needs, offering clear, reliable advice. I never felt my time was being wasted and appreciated the way Martin stayed with my case until I had the solution that was right for me. Horton and Garton staff know their patch extremely well. If I ever come to sell the lovely house they found for me, I would have no hesitation in engaging them.

We recently sold our house through Horton & Garton and only had a positive experience with them. Everyone in the Sales team displayed patience, tenacity and professionalism throughout. Phil always went the extra mile on viewings; Martin ensured the sale went through as smoothly as possible; and John frequently checked in to ensure we were happy with the approach and progress. If I were to sell in the local area again then I would only use H&G.

We recently purchased a house through Martin Clements with Horton and Garton and I must say the entire buying process with Martin was flawless, efficient and highly professional. Having been in the property game for several decades one rarely comes across sales people like Martin - highly knowledgable, honest and straightforward and a pleasure to deal with. I’m so impressed that I’m considering having a property marketed with Horton and Garton. Thank you Martin you’re an asset to the firm !

Phil was by far the most professional, responsive and friendly estate agent we have ever come across. We would like to thank him for all of his hard work and dedication to helping us purchase our first flat. He was excellent at driving the purchase forward by facilitating communication between solicitors which I believe has earned him the well-deserved nickname of ‘The Hammersmith Terrier’! We highly recommend Phil Coombes and Horton and Garton Hammersmith.

A local agent that really understands their market, H&G sold our house at a difficult time in the housing market (summer 2018). Pricing and marketing were spot-on, generating over thirty viewings. We took a low price in order to achieve a quick sale and exchanged contracts in under four weeks. A special mention goes to Phil Coombes who kept everything moving and was referred to as a 'terrier' by our lawyer. Thanks to the whole team for all their hard work.
