What. Can I say about Trigg ! From start to finish the whole team at Trigg provided a really good service. The marketing of our house and photographs taken were great. The team worked hard to sell our property - it sold quickly and they got us a good price for the sale in a challenging market. Their fees were really reasonable and very competitive compared to other agents on the island. Above all, the team were always approachable and responsive to questions we had. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Supposed to give electric safety certificate but they were unwilling to help. Mark was very rude and dismissive everytime I called. Basically once purchase goes through they don’t care they got their money thats all they care about. Even at the beginning when we was questioning the title of the property they were dismissive about our concerns about it being labelled freehold but it still having a leasehold title. Basically we asked why it wasn’t merged if owner owns both they said who cares. Other than those concerns sale went smoothly.

Tamas · 19 January 2026 · Miles and Barr Canterbury

Agent replied · 19 August 2026

Dear Tamas, I am sorry to hear that you felt a member of our team was, in any way, dismissive in responding to your enquiries regarding the property you purchased. Please accept our apologies for any frustration this may have caused. To help address your concerns, I can confirm that following completion of the sale, we did contact the seller on your behalf to request the electrical safety report. Unfortunately, this document has not yet been provided, and while we have followed up, we are unable to compel the seller to supply it. With regard to the property tenure, while the property was leasehold at the time of purchase, the same party also owned the freehold. As part of the transaction, the seller transferred the freehold to you, which rendered the initial leasehold position obsolete. I am sorry if you feel our responses fell short of your expectations. Please be assured that we have made every reasonable effort, where possible, to obtain the documentation you requested following completion. Kind regards, Keith Trigg Managing Director

Good internet marketing, however the personal experience was disappointing. When it came to getting the price right they were not proactive so in my view the sale took longer than it could have done. I understand that in the current market it is difficult to pitch the price, but I initiated all conversations with them regarding this. I also was led to believe that they would undertake the final meter readings, as I do not live on the Island. However, they left this to the Buyer, and 4 days after completion I still have not received the gas reading. If I had known they were leaving the readings to the buyer I would gave arranged for a friend to take the readings.

Stephen · 19 January 2026 · Miles and Barr Canterbury

Agent replied · 19 August 2026

Dear Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I’m pleased to hear that you felt our marketing of the property was strong, as this is often the key driver of interest from prospective purchasers. That said, I’m sorry to learn that you felt we weren’t proactive, as that is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, as a family run business our reputation is highly important to us. From our records, we initially suggested an adjustment to the marketing price in May and continued to provide updates throughout the process, including a detailed lettings valuation on 2nd September at your request. With regard to the meter readings, this is typically the responsibility of the buyer and seller, as the utility contracts are held directly with them rather than the selling agent. However, I do appreciate that this may have been particularly important given your distance from the property, and I apologise if you feel we fell short in this area. Considering the nature of the market and the location of the property, I believe the team worked hard to progress matters from the agreed sale date in early October through to completion in January. Many properties within the development have remained unsold for over 12 months, so achieving completion within this timeframe was a positive outcome. I wish you all the very best for the future. Kind regards Keith Trigg Managing Director
