FIRST CLASS SERVICE!

I wanted to acknowledge to first class service provided by Samantha Storrar of Charles Carr. During my telephone call to arrange a viewing , she had full information on the property, was professional, friendly and polite. Samantha established my position in the housing market, and asked targeted question to ascertain my needs. Upon viewing, Samantha was welcoming, professional and very sweet with my 2 year granddaughter. Samantha had all information regarding the property to hand and had sound advice to offer me regarding the property. Following my making an offer on a property, Samantha immediately followed up with a congratulatory email and a very clear email detailing what happens next and what actions each party must take. Most helpful. Overall, Samantha took ownership of my property enquiry, viewing and offer in a manner which was highly professional and collaborative. She was attentive and communicated excellently with a great deal of with clarity.

Professionalism and Persistence Personified!

Thanks to Lloyd Westall and his team we are thrilled at last to have exchanged contracts and really looking forward to completion in the next couple of weeks. Without Lloyd’s continued hard work, professional approach, persistence and his considerable ability to keep a cool head in tricky circumstances, I doubt we would be moving house. We would highly recommend Charles Carr Estate Agents and in particular Lloyd, although all members of the team have played their part in supporting us from initial instruction, great web presence, viewings, ease of finding a buyer and helping us navigate through to completion.

superb professional service - particularly Lloyd Westall

Lloyd Helped us sell our house and has given us a very professional and knowledgeable service throughout. We have had a few bumps in the road regarding solicitors along the way, but Lloyd has talked us through the problems and put our mind at rest when we were worried about things., and with his help we managed to get the exchange over the line, with this Friday 22nd Sept as a set completion day. Without his help I'm sure the solicitors would've dragged things out for weeks, so for that we are very grateful to him A1 service and would highly recommend Lloyd and Charles Carr.

Amazing service

We've just completed with Charles Carr and can honestly say that I would use them again in a heartbeat. Shane sold us the house and kept is informed all the way through and got us over the asking price through his excellent negotiations! What I love about Charles Carr is that they realise people who have the skill set to sell should be able to do just that and not be tied up with the admin at the back end. Therefore they allocated a post sales person to manage and chase up any queries to get you through the sale. Louise was amazing in following up and keeping us informed. It wasn't an easy process as there were issues in the chain. However, she chased and without her we probably wouldn't have ended up in this position. Well done to Charles Carr and louise and Shane in particular.

Professional and knowledgable but with a great human touch

Louise and her team have been fantastic at every turn and we couldn't recommend her and all at Charles Carr any more highly. It's been fantastic to have a 'person' in the chain, and not just a jargon-filled robot at the solicitors or an understandably pushy seller. We both greatly appreciated the hard work they did for us, often going above and beyond regardless of where we were in the chain, particularly with the out-of-the-ordinary issues such as the solar panels. We wouldn't look elsewhere when it comes to selling in the future!

Very Professional

From the start process Emma Battye has been extremely helpful in making us feel confident about viewing properties considering this is our first time buying on the market. She has been extremely enthusiastic and has shown genuine interest in our next venture, helping book last minute appointments and also assisting in placing offers we have placed our trust in her abilities in areas we have found so many other estate agents have let us down. an absolute star and thank you for all the help you are giving us

Definitely made the right choice

Definitely made the right choice when I decided to go with Charles Carr (recently Carter Edwards) to sell my mother's property. When Lloyd Westall came to value the property it was clear that he had really good local knowledge and I felt confident that he had advised a good, but also a realistic price that could be achieved. Once I had accepted an offer it was literally only a week before the offer had been 'financially qualified' (I even know some jargon now!) and received the paperwork from the conveyancing solicitor to sign. Everything is progressing well and hopefully completion date is not far off. I have found Lloyd to be not only thoroughly professional, but also kind and really helpful in giving advice without being at all 'pushy'. Lloyd has always got back to me really quickly when I have contacted him which I have greatly appreciated. He also has a good sense of humour which helps...

Dedicated agent

We had been asking another agent for information on our new house and not getting very fast. I contacted Sam Brooks and he found some of the required information out in next to no time at all. Late at night 2030(ish) we received a further email with confirmation of the the rest of the information. I wish all Charles Carrs staff were this dedicated! Sam is a credit to Charles Carrs, extremely polite who possesses the right attitude to cooperate with the public.

Successful Sale

We chose Charles Carr Estate Agents to sell our property . Everything was going really well until we were about to agree a move date when our buyer pulled out. The next day Charles Carr arranged an open day with seven viewings which resulted in a successful sale so we were still able to move to our chosen property. We found Charles Carr very efficient and always kept us informed. Especial thanks to Louise and Charlotte.

Outstanding service

We were extremely impressed with Tim Gould's professionalism and enthusiasm for selling properties. As new sellers we found our questions were listened to and we felt able to ask anything we needed during the process. We especially appreciated the 'non-pushy' approach that was taken. The photographs and description of our property were great and we sold within 3 days at higher than asking price. We would recommend Tim and Charles Carr to anyone thinking about selling their home.

Professional all the way through

I would like to thank everyone at Charles Carr for the superb job they did at selling my property. Open house - what a great idea - lots of viewings, offers immediately and great sale price achieved. After sales support - excellent. Louise was a great support throughout and without her experience and how she dealt with the other less experienced agents in the chain I do not think I would have moved. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Thank you Lloyd and Michael for all your help when we moved house. The process of buying and selling was made a lot easier through your communication, wanting to find a property for "us", along with the friendly but professional team you have.

Very helpful and good communication

We had problems with two previous estate agents and were looking for an agent who would give us honest feedback and keep us updated throughout. Charles Carr were exactly that with very helpful staff and calls answered or returned in swift fashion. Once a sale had been agreed we had Louise Carr on the case and she provided an excellent service. Thank you Louise for everything, I appreciate it. Keep up the great work!!

Fabulous

We were so impressed with Louise and her team. When our first sale fell through (out of their control) they were quick to act and had secured a new offer within a week despite it being the run-up to christmas. When issues arose with our property, Louise went above and beyond to help us sort it and worked tirelessly to get the sale through. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Knowledgeable, honest and always professional.

Lloyd and his team at Charles Carr Estate Agents have sold two properties for us. As property developers it is reassuring to have them on side, they are honest, professional and knowledgeable. On both occasions, Lloyd/ Charles Carr has introduced purchasers that have been committed and ready to buy. They keep both the client and purchaser informed to ensure a quick completion. We can not recommend them highly enough as estate agents.

Hard working agent

Charles Carr managed to find us suitable solid buyers within a short time frame for a price that we aimed for. . We mainly dealt with Lauren French who went above & beyond to help us with both the sale of our property but also dealing with the agency handling the purchase of our new property. I do have to say that all the staff have be brilliant. Thank you.

agent Louise Carr

Louise was the only person to help us when we had a major crisis, and only on her second day. . She delved into the problem , spoke to the solicitors and came back to me with a resolution. After that she rang consistently with updates through to exchange. I have no doubt she saved the day and was extremely professional and we even had a laugh. Thank you so much.

I have recently been into the bitterne branch to enquire about a property to rent and I was very impressed with the efficiency of the service provided.

I am very happy with the property and look forward to moving in! Thanks again
