Agent replied · 6 July 2023
A property can't be bought or sold unless is goes through the legal process, so simply agreeing a sale is only part of the deal. In our experience, most problems can be avoided with great communication which is why Joe speaks with all involved. Thanks for the review Mr Thurston, we appreciate you taking the time.

TrustpilotTerrible Experience as a buyer
We have just pulled out of a house purchase and a large part of that was due to the incompetence of Seymours. Never told the sellers of any of our appointments to visit the house which caused so many delays, the solicitors they recommended we even more hassle to work with, any time we rang Seymours to discuss something they had no idea who we were even though we were speaking with them frequently, their manner came across as very lazy and uncaring. Im not sure what they were getting their commission for. When we pulled out they pushed the blame to us but and took no responsibility, if we had done the purchase through better agents we would probably be in the house now. Such a terrible experience and we feel so bad for the sellers as it could have been such a different story.

Hello ER. Thanks for sharing your experience, and apologies that it's not met your or our expectations. Could you let us know which office you've been dealing with so we can look into the matter further please? At Seymours, we work very hard on all elements of communication, be they with buyers, sellers and importantly the solicitors not just acting for you but the entire chain if there is one.

TrustpilotBEWARE THESE FRAUDSTERS!
I rented a property from Seymours recently and when I moved out they tried the classic tactic of falsifying/ exaggerating damages in order to profit. Mark on the worktop? Replace the entire worktop.Mark on the floor? Replace the entire floor. They tried to charge me for a replacement hallway bulb that stopped working shortly after I moved in. They even had the audacity to try and charge me for the entire place to be repainted even though it needed a coat of paint when I moved in! They honestly think that if they press you enough to pay their ridiculous 'damage' fees that you'll simply give in and pay due to ignorance or them threatening you. They think they can refurbish entire properties and bill tenants for the privilege, absolutely shocking behaviour. I've made a complaint about them and sent my evidence to the deposit holding company. If you're in the same situation, email me at seymoursarecriminals at protonmail.com and I'll happily pass on the evidence I have of them lying.

TrustpilotBad business, morals and ethics
If I could leave, no stars, I would. Seymour’s of Addlestone are nothing but a bunch of sharks! I have my property up for sale with another agent. I have never approached Seymours to sell my property nor would I. They approached my daughter who apparently they had her telephone number and details listed as the owner of my property. They didn’t ask her if she owned the property when they called up but continued to ask if they could market it, how dare they! I had not even told my daughter, I was looking to move! According to GDPR rules, no details should be kept after a certain period unless that person has updated their consent, apparently the details they have are 3 years old and she has not been approached in that time by Seymour’s! Let’s get this fact clear SHE DOESN'T OWN THE PROPERTY! This has caused an argument within the family and caused no end of problems.If you’re looking to sell your property stay well clear of Seymour’s because all they want is their commission, they don’t give a damn about you as a customer. When I called the manager, I found him to be aggressive and couldn’t even admit they were in the wrong. I phoned back to get head office number and I was told they didn’t have it but they would call me back, it’s a good job I haven’t held my breath!!!!! This heavy-handed mob approach is not the way to gain clients and influence business!Having seen your response says it all! No proper apology nor how you intend to change processes to stop a repeat or how you hold information and data on people!

TrustpilotFrustrating experience as a buyer
As a buyer, Seymours were difficult to deal with. They didn't show up for appointments we'd booked, and we got bounced around different points of contact, making it hard to get updates. Then when we did find a house with them, we were harassed for updates on an almost daily basis, despite it being their clients, the sellers, that were holding things up. Their various branches do not communicate with each other, as we were still getting bombarded by other branches with details about other houses after we had found ours - most of which did not meet our requirements in the slightest. It all felt quite unprofessional and frustrating, unfortunately.

If I could I would not give any stars for Seymours in Godalming. The communication has been appalling and they do not value their customers. I would never use them again or recommend them. They appear to have a lack of understanding of what’s happening at every step in the chain when selling houses. Compared to other agents we have worked with there has been a lack of customer care and effort in concluding a sell.

Excellent as the process goes on. Ben, Brett and other Seymours staff are friendly, quick, and highly efficient. Their capacity to accommodate is exceptional. They pick up the phone in the sales office, and everyone seems to know about the property being sold. Ben found a keen buyer on first viewing, such is the skill of Seymours to match seller and buyer.

TrustpilotA 12 year relationship
We worked with Seymours for over 10 years while renting our apartment, during which time they provided contract advice and assiduously collected our rent. When finalising our last tenancy (12 years) there was a slight glitch in the final reconciliation of accounts that was easily resolved because we had kept meticulous records. Susequently, Seymours found a buyer for our apartment, although their rcommended selling price for the property was somewhat above what was finally achieved. Maybe market changes got in the way!

TrustpilotSharp practice or incompetence - I wonder which?
If you are a seller please be wary of these agents. We were excellent buyers downsizing, not requiring a mortgage and with no chain beyond the people buying our house who wanted a quick move.We had viewed several houses with Seymours before seeing one online with their W Byfleet office that we liked the look of and in the exact area we wanted. When we contacted them we were told by a senior partner it had been completely withdrawn from the market - so we couldn’t view it - and we then discovered a short while later that it had gone ‘under offer’ to someone else. Frustrating when we weren’t even given the opportunity to view it and the vendor was never told someone else was very interested in their property. In other words Seymours were not acting in the vendors’ interest. I’m afraid this is common practice by agents who may for example, have ‘preferred buyers’ who are also selling with them or friendly developers as ‘favoured’ buyers. If you are a seller please find agents who will act ‘solely’ for you and not in their own interests. This has happened to us several times over the years when buying previously and I’m afraid there are too many agents out there willing to indulge in this type of sharp practice. If an agent behaves improperly and you cannot get redress, please be aware that it is always open to you to complain to Propertymark (who Seymours are a member of) or ultimately to the Ombudsman.
Alice · 17 March 2023
Agent replied · 6 July 2023
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and believe we have spoken to you about the circumstances in person. After taking the property on the market to sell, the family informed us that they wouldn't be moving which is why all future viewings would be ceased, this wasn't a tactic or underhand practice as the owners made the decision not to move. The property was eventually sold off market to a buyer who insisted they wanted to pay a price significantly higher than the property was previously advertised for. Again, we're grateful for the feedback and wish you every success with your move.
