TrustpilotHamptons was great to work with!
Hamptons was great to work with!Aggie from the Fulham office was very accommodating and friendly. After one phone call she made sure to immediately squeeze me in for a viewing the day after. She was very informative and did her best to accommodate all my needs for the property. Aggie was very fast to respond to all my messages and would promptly update and solve any problems I had with the property.

GoogleHamptons in Bath have been incredible. We sold our property very recently with them and it couldn't have been a smoother running process if we had tried. Thank you so much to the team (particularly Neal and Susannah) for making a potentially stressful time as easy as possible.
Thank you for your review. Customer service is very important to us and as such we are delighted to read the team has provided you with a 5* service, particularly Neal and Susannah. It is especially wonderful to hear that process was so smooth and we look forward to sharing this feedback with the team. Thank you again.

TrustpilotHamptons Lettings Bath
I have used Hamptons Lettings Bath for several years using their fully comprehensive cover to rent out my flat.Melanie Hudson has been excellent in sorting out any problems I have had as a landlord. She responds very quickly to both my tenants and myself, quickly getting quotes and organising any work that has to be done, she is professional, really knows her stuff and I just couldn’t be a successful landlord without her !

TrustpilotKind support
I've had to take over responsibility for the property since my husband died in January. Nick Summerfield has been both sympathetic as well as efficient in reporting problems, and getting them sorted. He gets 5 stars but the accounting department of Hamptons gets 4.

TrustpilotMillie and Clapham
Millie and the team in the Clapham Office have been a huge support through selling my home. Their advice and marketing was superb; Millie kept me calm if there were any problems along the way. She was wonderful, positive and a pleasure to work with. She ensured I was updated regularly until we completed. Thank you

We have Rented through Hamptons for the last 3 years. My husband and I have always dealt with David Whiting who is the senior property manager. He is excellent! No problem too big or too small. Always friendly and chatty and always deals with any issues we have very quickly we are just hoping he stays there for a while yet! Great service!

GoogleWe had the unfortunate experience of purchasing through Hamptons of Bath. We found the sales consultant for the purchase frustrating to deal with - she appeared inexperienced in dealing with a sale of this complex nature. Her negotiating skills seemed weak, often simply relaying information between parties rather than seeking to find a solution that suited. On several occasions it appeared that she wasn’t sharing all the facts, which would then later become apparent. Lastly, she repeatedly pushed us for exchange, despite there still being outstanding paperwork on their sellers side, as well as it being months before the suggested completion date! (Here I would also mention that I would personally avoid the online conveyancing company they ‘recommend’, especially if you have a more complex sale/purchase to undertake.) I would unreservedly warn others against using Hamptons of Bath, as they caused us so much stress and frustration throughout the entire buying process. Not the kind of experience you expect from dealing with a company with such an up-market reputation.. it certainly wasn’t an up-market buying experience.. EDIT: In response to Hamptons’ reply, I would like to make it clear that I have emails between Hamptons, my solicitor and myself to back up the points I have made above. I would never aim to give false feedback and was merely providing my honest experience and opinion, as was requested. I did not feel it necessary to mention our frustrations with the completion date, as this was not Hamptons fault. We had paid no deposit to our movers and, in fact, they were happy to change our slot for us without issue. I find it rather unprofessional that Hamptons choose this public forum to attempt to undermine my review, when I merely sought to offer constructive criticism and advice to others. Should Hamptons wish to discuss the above further, then they are more than welcome to contact me directly.
I am sorry to read your review and that you feel this way about Hamptons, we always work with our best intentions, and this is not a feeling that we wish for our valued customer to be ever left with. Customer service is very important to us and it is naturally disappointing that you did not share these views with our team or express that you felt pushed towards exchange as we would have certainly aimed to address and resolve any concerns raised during your purchase. In fact, we felt we found a solution by working hard on an agreed re-negotiation for you, bringing the purchase price down to enable you to continue with the purchase of this stunning home. We have taken a look at all the notes on file, and cannot see any evidence of you being rushed toward exchange. We know that you pre-booked removals without communicating with us regarding completion dates, and therefore, this did create some upset for you towards the end, with a change of dates, which we know was disheartening and frustrating. We are in a fast moving market, and would never recommend that removals are booked until exchange has occurred to avoid any unnecessary costs for you and our clients. We will of course take all feedback on board, discuss it in the office and learn from any mistakes we have made. I do hope my response has addressed your concerns and that you may reconsider using Hamptons again in the future, as we would be delighted to be provided with a further opportunity to restore your faith in our levels of customer care. We wish you many happy years in your new home

Sarita Sainsbury has been an exceptional Property Manager for many years for our portfolio of flats held with Hamptons. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent, proactive and trustworthy. All this plus an all important sunny disposition and sense of humour! Sarita truly understands the client relationship and is able to push back constructively in a sensitive way as and when required. We have a great working relationship and I respect her abilities enormously.

GoogleDealt with Matthew Crayman exclusively when trying to rent a property in Bath. He was extremely proactive and worked beyond standard working hours to ensure that we received the best customer service. He actively sourced properties for us and kept us informed of properties that actually corresponded with what we were wanting from a property. One of the best agents we have ever dealt with - would highly recommend Matthew. Thanks, Alex and Dan.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleThe property we rent is managed by Hamptons and they are absolutely fantastic, the service is second to none and they are by far and wide the best property managers we've ever dealt with as tenants. Any time we've had an issue, it has been resolved so quickly, with constant updates to keep us in the loop. The team are very friendly, and a special thanks to Melanie who we usually deal with. Thanks Hamptons Bath!PositiveProfessionalism

Awful experience dealing with Hamptons and especially Rebecca Voller at the fleet office. Hamptons need to think about the experience of the customer and the agent was truely offer in her dealings. Quite frankly I would never deal with Hamptons for buying and selling houses.

TrustpilotAvoid to use Hampton as a tenant or landlord
The worse Letting agency that I have used in UK. When I make my offer and we have agreed for the price with confirmation email from them, they have informed after 5 days that they had better offer, they never remove from advertisement. According my tenancy they never fix the heating problem in the flat and they said me to buy a heater. Before the check out they advice me to use their own professional cleaning charging me £265 for one studio (after a research on online it's only £130). and at the end they try to charge me for FWT and when I informed them that I will send for dispute they increased the amount. Avoid to use this agent.

We've been with Hamptons for a while, and they've always provided a great service. Our property manager Elle Seaby is a superstar. She is extremely patient, knowledgeable and is always happy to help. We previously had some issues and challenges with tenants, and she was so helpful and professional throughout. We don't worry about our portfolio with her as they're in good hands!

TrustpilotNOT RECOMMENDED
NOT RECOMMENDED. These people will charge you a fortune in management fees for absolutely nothing. I have had to do all the emailing and sorting out from overseas despite paying for a full management service. I have complained but been ignored. I have asked for my complaint to go into the formal complaints procedure but I am still ignored. Classic attitude of companies these days. They just ignore your complaint. No customer service at all.

I caution anyone planning to buy/sell a property with Hamptons Chelsea, especially using Nick Hubner, Senior Head of Sales Chelsea after Mr Hubner sold me a flat without running water in the kitchen and refused to help in sorting problem. In his own words: 'I can only sympathise. I wouldn't have a clue'. To which I fully agree. Big talker, no action, arms 'length, unhelpful, grab the money and run, is how I would describe Mr Hubner. Terrible experience. Great shame.

TrustpilotIncompetent Staff with no concern to service delivery
I am not one to usually complain in a public forum, unless the experience has been so horrendous that it warrants such action. We are owners of properties that used Hamptons for a few years on two units within our portfolio. They used to be great! However, at the latest renewal, I have never experienced such incompetence from what should be a "professional estate agent."Mentioned to them that our colleague who usually handled renewals was on maternity leave (on two occasions) and to update their system with an alternate email address for communications and renewals. Confirmed this is done on both occasions and yet when it comes to sending documents, they continue to send to the colleague on maternity leave. To makes this worse the documents are protected so no-one else but the recipient can view. How difficult can it be, to update a system with a new contact detail?Emails never get responded to or take about 1-2 weeks. When they do come, apologies are frivolous with no real action on resolving but rather just a generic "sorry".In the end we had to inconvenience our colleague (who had just given birth) to access her emails and authorise a renewal as waiting for Hamptons would have either never happened or would have delayed our renewal beyond expiry. Absolutely shocking service delivery, and to date no apology instead they send an invoice for their fees! Would definitely not recommend this agency to anyone who is looking for a professional firm that values clients small or big with respectable service. Many better options available else where with better fee structures too. I hope this helps anyone else who is considering a good estate agent.
