TrustpilotWe used hunters to put our house up for sale
We used hunters to put our house up for sale in October 2024. Despite a few problems with surveys etc Hunters manged to sell our house to a cash buyer. the communication and updates during the process were very clear and professional. Selling a home is a very stressful experience however hunters helped us throughout the journey

TrustpilotHunters Horncastle:
Hunters Horncastle:If you are looking for an EA who keeps you updated and informed then I would NOT use Hunters, if you want the privilege of paying for doing your own work then by all means use this EA, also if you want to feel as though the EA is acting on behalf of the buyer instead of the seller… this is the one for you!!! They say the right things to get the initial business and then offer bad advise and never any follow up or conversations about the state of the market during contract period, even when requested. Also emails and WA messages were ignored. Worst Estate Agent I’ve ever used. It seems that Katherine (who did the viewings) and Susan (admin) seem to hold them just above water and do all the donkey work. Just my honest opinion!! Would have given zero rating if possible
5/5
GoogleHunters is, without a doubt, the best estate agency we've ever worked with. They are exceptionally dedicated, highly skilled, and, above all, extremely communicative. I truly cannot recommend them enough. They are precisely the type of estate agency you want! Amazing!
Hi Iman, Thank you for your review. This was a difficult sale for all of us, glad all our efforts paid off in the end and we look forward to doing business with you again soon.

TrustpilotI was buying a house through hunters
I was buying a house through hunters, wasn’t the best experience in the world. When it came to getting the keys from the bishop Auckland office, I was told to wait outside in the cold for 15 minutes, then presented with 1 key by itself, there was no congrats on your first home or any welcome gifts or anything, just here’s your key, see you later 👍🏼😂 got into the house, it wasn’t clean, the kitchen had been flooded which warped all the kitchen floor which I then had to pay to get it sorted. They should have done a check once the owners were out the house in order to make sure it was in a fit state and as seen on the viewings. I’ve since rented out houses around that area and stayed well clear of hunters, I would never use them again after the experience I had with them.

TrustpilotPoor overall
Poor overall! The property we were interested in was over valued by more than 10% and yet they wanted offers in excess of ?! My communication with staff was defensive and not amiable not sure why! My advice check out your move to check the property is actually worth what they say it is? Before you buy 🤗

Throughout the sale of my house I found Hunters amazing. I found Vicky was so supportive and helpful and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend and use hunters again. Thank you so much

TrustpilotWorst nightmare you could have if you…
Worst nightmare you could have if you deal with Hunters Abbeywood. No repair on time, always defensive and lieing even when you present them with evidences for their unresponsiveness. Always be a judge in their own case and their manager is also part of them. Please avoid them

TrustpilotBest by far! Hunters castleford, thank you
Hunters castleford, WHAT a professional, pro active, friendly team, hollie, kiera, lisa could not have made the process simpler!!! Updated practically daily! On the ball!

Thanks to the whole team for making a difficult process as str8 forward as possible! Best agents local to me and would not hesitate to use again...although think i will be staying put for a while 🙂

GoogleFantastic service from start to finish. Many thanks to all of the Barnsley branch staff, particularly Zack, Daniel and Ashleigh. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them and their professional and friendly approach made all aspects of the transactions easy and stress free. I would definitely recommend Hunters and most definitely this particular branch to anyone. An honest and straight forward company

GoogleI cannot praise Hunters enough for the valuable assistance and advice afforded me when I was relocating to Barnsley from Devon. As is often expected in buying and selling especially over a long distance the path was a bit rocky and the successful outcome was in the main due to Laura keeping me informed of the progress of my purchase and giving me sound advice as to the steps to take with the selling of my property in Devon, especially after a buyer pulled out a good way through the process. To be honest I received more advice and assistance from Laura than I did from the Estate Agent I was paying in Devon , so a big thanks folks for getting me home :) Friendly, approachable, professional throughout and highly recommended.
Thank you Mark, so glad you got the property after such a turbulent time with Purple Bricks!

FacebookI would like to thank 4sale2u for their professionalism and perseverance when selling my property. Where many other companies would have likely settled for delays and the inevitable hurdles Shawn and Zack were extremely supportive and pushed for a result. This was particularly important as I am based outside Yorkshire so needed a efficient, holistic and trustworthy service. I wish them all the best in the future.

TrustpilotHunters -Ealing
Hunters -Ealing Friendly professional, I can’t thank Steve enough. The time, energy and commitment, he was the bridge between both my solicitor and the buyers and was 100% committed. Everything went through Smoove and this was due to Steve and Hunters-Ealing. I have recommended them to other sellers and they will be always highly recommended by me

GoogleHunters were excellent from start to finish. From the first valuation with Robert which was spot on, to Adam's constant hustling to arrange viewings, Laura's tireless work to drive the progression, to Zack's professionalism to help close matters off at the end. If you're reading this wondering which estate agent to use like I was a few months ago - choose Hunters!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thank you for your lovely words Rowan. Should you need our services again please do not hesitate to contact us.

TrustpilotLast year in November i sold my house…
Last year in November i sold my house with Hunters. Due to reasons beyond my control the sale process was not as easy as anticipated however the reassurance and professionalism from hunters where outstanding. I went with hunters theough word or mouth and i have already recommended Hunters to friends who i know are selling or thinking of selling their property. They are an amazing team and so friendly. Thankyou ladies for making a difficult situation so bareable. We got there in the end.

TrustpilotJust don't use this Estate Agent
Just don't use this Estate Agent. And really don't use them to do an Inventory. They made so many errors we had to almost redo it ourselves. They missed the Fridge Freezer. Washing machine and Dishwasher in the Kitchen. They said there was a white wooden wardrobe in the bathroom, there isn't I could go on and on. I have asked for a refund but of course not heard anything!
5/5
FacebookHunters provided a fair service throughout trying to sell our property. Unfortunately we had no interest from the beginning of the year so decided to part exchange instead. When speaking to them for the duration they were always friendly, Daniel especially. I would say the only bad points we can give are the lack of floor plans which were missed off our online listing, we didn’t notice this until we were advised by one of the part-ex valuers. This I feel missed our key selling point of a specious 3 bed end terrace. Also the lack of our ‘four weekly reviews’ after the initial one, although I’m not sure what else we could have done differently.
Thanks for your feedback Tegan. We are looking into #floorplans & hope to improve this element of our business. Thanks again for your business :-) #sales #property #happy

TrustpilotTheir inefficiency made me lose a living place
This is how I kept urging the agent to follow up & how their inefficiency made me lost a living place in Sep.I viewed the flat on 4th Aug and paid holding deposit on the same date. My offer was accepted on 7th Aug. When Hunters and Homelet spend more than one month for my reference check and preparation of lodger agreement, I kept asking them when I can sign the contract and so I can transfer 6 month upfront rent and deposit.On 7th Aug, I tried to enter my details of reference check on the same date. However, the system had bug. Hunters staff helped me enter the details with their internal systems in the following day, although there are some typo of my job and address reference.Perhaps because of the miscommunications among 2 parties, Homelet refused to do reference check for me as they have not yet got the approval from Hunters. With numerous e mail I requested Hunters to fix it, Homelet started sending e mails to my manager and current landlord for reference check on 15th Aug.On 17th Aug, Hunters staff asked me to pay 6-month upfront rent and deposit by e mail without sending me the lodger agreement. I promised them to make the payment when they send me the contract and contract is signed.On 25th Aug, I received the lodger agreement finally after several requests. I raised some questions in the e mail in order to shorten the time for them to answer me during our future meeting of contract signing.On 6th Sep, another Hunters staff invited me to go to their office and sign the contract on the following day. I gave her my questions again for her better preparation. On 7th Sep, that staff said meeting date had to be changed. She answered my questions very briefly. Perhaps she is not familiar with the letting issues of the flat, I simply said I will ask others when I move in. I tried to ask when we meet and sign the contract. She did not reply.On 8th Sep, another Hunters staff told me that the landlord decided to accept another offer. The studio is no longer available in the market. He asked me to state my bank details and they will refund the holding deposit. I once thought the landlord must keep bidding for a higher rental price.I must move out before 23rd Sep as official move out notice was given to the current landlord. During resume of finding rental place, I found the flat in Zoopla again with rental price unchanged.Later I found the staff of the landlord and told the landlord what’s really happening. The landlord felt so sorry & decided to give me viewings of 3 other studios. However, the size and location do not suit my need.

TrustpilotLucky that we chose Hunters due to a very complicated chain
We had a very complicated chain, without their support I think we would have lost our buyer. We were grateful that they had a sales progressor who was able to speak to everyone in the chain, something that only independent agents have, this meant that after 8 months from accepting an offer we finally moved.

TrustpilotGreat, proactive service
We bought a property recently through Hunters, yet to complete, but they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the process. I wish we had used them to sell our house as well, as they have been proactive, very communicative and extremely professional. I could not recommend them any higher.
5/5
GoogleWe went to Hunters, Barnsley, after 2 unproductive months with an Internet agent. We were buying from Hunters so thought we would sell too so as to keep everything under one roof. Within 1 week the house was sold! Proof that you get what you pay for. From Robs first visit to value our house, (fair valuation, not internet over-valuation), to Daniels negotiations, Laura's administration and Zachs management, the whole team were fantastic. This is a small team but they really looked after us. Special mention must go to Laura who had to manage an abnormally lengthy chain for a 12 week period! This seemed painless to me, but I suspect she shielded us from the various problems throughout and I always found this professional, young woman to be a comfort I could always rely on! Yes there are cheaper, Internet alternatives. Yes some traditional agents charge less than 1.44%, some charge more! For me if you want a personable, professional team to look after you Hunters Barnsley are the answer. Would definitely use again!
Thanks Jeremy, lovely words and thank you for your business. We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and hope we can be of service to you and your extended family in the future. From all the team at Hunters, enjoy your new property, it’s stunning 😊 …

TrustpilotRude and unprofessional
I had a viewing arranged and nobody could give me a meeting point for a large apartment building with several entrances. Spent nearly 20 minutes at the location wondering around and trying to reach the person that was supposed to show me around, all calls declined. Office couldn’t get through to her either and when she finally calls me is to rudely tell me off for not showing up at a different entrance when she never told me where to go, speaking to me in an angry tone and then hanging up.

GoogleHunters Barnsley recently sold my property for me, I cannot praise them high enough. They provided a professional and friendly service from start to finish. I was constantly kept up to date with the sale progress from Zak Foster and Laura was always extremely helpful throughout the process. I would recommend using Hunters Barnsley to anyone looking to sell their property. Thankyou
