GoogleI was incredibly pleased with the service I received from Howkins and Harrison in Rugby, specifically Michael Cruickshank who dealt with my purchase. All questions and queries were answered immediately by email and phone and everything went incredibly smoothly and quickly. H&H even rang me before my Solicitors to tell me I had completed. I was really happy with the service and would definitely recommend them.
Thank you Caroline

GoogleSix stars at least! Mike at Howkins helped me so much with the sale/purchase in Rugby in 2018/9 - always helpful, upbeat but realistic all the time too, with a dash of philosophy thrown in. He helped with all the problems that came up, giving good advice, communicating and reassuring all the way. All the other people at Howkins were very good too - Chris, Hannah to name but two. I'd always had the impression that they were a good bunch, and my house moving experience has certainly confirmed that view. Thanks guys
Thank you!

GoogleHowkins and Harrison Rugby recently sold my property. I dealt mainly with Julie who was excellent but all the staff were such nice people who respected my home and helped me all through the entire process. If I ever need to move again I wouldn't hesitate to use them and I would thoroughly recommend them.
So lovely to hear, thanks for your feedback Vanessa. Best wishes

GoogleWe were really pleased with Howkins and Harrison, who sold our old property and sold our new property with us. They worked hard at getting a good price so a great choice for selling your home with. We worked predominantly with Chris, who was really personable, open and honest. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Cassandra, we really appreciate your feedback.

GoogleI would strongly recommend Howkins & Harrison when considering which agent to appoint regarding selling your house. Mike Cruckshank dealt with both our sale and purchase. He got potential buyers through our door as soon as we went to market and got us a successful sale and purchase. He was very professional, knowledgeable, pragmatic and approachable throughout the entire experience. It was a real pressure dealing with Mike. I recommended Mike recently to a family member and again he has successfully achieved another sale and purchase within a very short timescale. Well done Mike we will always recommend Howkins & Harrison, 5 star service on every level.
Thank you, Jane

GoogleWatch out if renting with this bunch. They charge a 'deposit return fee', something I've never heard of in all my years.
Hi Joshua, we are sorry you felt caught off guard by this fee. It was explained to you when you signed our contract before you moved into the property. We verbally go over all our fees up front so all our tenants are aware of any charges. Plus, it is detailed on page 16 of your tenancy agreement as we have discussed over email since.
1/5
GoogleIt's a disgrace how many fees they charge you if you wanna rent properties that they are advertising, someone should regulate how they rip you off. I will definitely report them.

GoogleWould highly recommend Howkins & Harrison's, we previously had a horrendous time buying and selling our previous house through a different estate agents, so we were very apprehensive about going through it all again, but Clair put our minds totally as rest from day 1, she was amazing, so friendly and helpful all the way, she made it a pleasure, can't thank her enough, would definitely recommend them without a doubt.

GoogleWhat can I say Jenny has been a god send. Without her I wouldn’t have found out half the info I needed. She is a credit to the company with her efficiency, politeness, friendliness and the ability to give bad news in a calming way.
Thanks so much and best wishes
5/5
Googlethe whole team were right behind us for the entire sale and purchase process. On a difficult and disrupted sale they managed to keep things on track and got us to the end safely and still reasonably sane. Special mention to Andrew Kilburn and Jenny Ponder who were brilliant throughout. going to a "proper" estate agent was exactly the right thing to do.
Thanks for your great feedback Andy
5/5
GoogleVery good. After our first property(with a different agent) fell through, we found a property in Badby. Clair was excellent through the process, acting as an intermediary between us, the sellers, and the solicitors. Clear communication throughout, and a speedy response to any questions. Happily settled into our new home now.
Thanks so much Mark

GoogleJenny is a highly accomplished sales negotiator. She has an eye for detail and a relentless drive to ensure the requisite result. A formidable and pro-active ally to have on your side handling a deal. Jenny is also friendly and amiable however the above mentioned points are what really matters when buying or selling a property.
Lovely to hear, thanks John
