GoogleI would like to say a big thank you to Lloyd for his excellent service given to find a tenant for me. We have used Lloyd on a number of times and he never lets us down. Lloyd kept me updated throughout the process from arranged viewings, feedback given, both positive and negative and after a week or so a couple satisfied our requirements and theirs. Also a big thank you to the rest of the team including Matt and James for their excellent customer service when Lloyd was not free. many thanks.

GoogleIt was a beautiful experience to work with Lloyd, we choose this agency from many others because they are professionals but friendly in the same time. He found us the perfect flat, as per our request, they assist us for all the procedure ans support us when we need to move in this town. The last thing that we never expect it was the beautiful gift box we received from them for the new house. Small things means a lot for some of us.
We will always recommend this agency with wonderful people, true professionals.
Thank you Lloyd, thank you Christopher Shaw team !

GoogleOur experience working with Christopher Shaw was First-Class!
We would highly recommend Christopher Shaw, our experience working with Matt Dilkes who heads up the Lettings Division was Excellent, very diligent, professional, honest and down to earth. We really felt Matt went the extra mile in terms of working with us to ensure we found the perfect house and Matt was instrumental in terms of liaising on our behalf with the Landlord so our requirements were met at the outset of the tenancy. Also the online process to complete the paperwork was simple and efficient making the complete experience stress free!
We also received a moving-in box of useful goodies with all those little bits you need on the “move-in day” when you can’t find anything, it was a nice touch and really helpful!
Thank you guys for everything, Nikki & Kev

GoogleMy journey with Chistopher Shaw has been a really good experience as I engaged them to market and sell my flat in Westbourne. They were proactive in their marketing approach and always managed to attract qualified viewings on the property. The team have been exceptional, professional and very communicative throughout. I would highly recommend their services and would definately work with them again.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

GoogleVery positive experience renting a flat through Christopher Shaw. Lauren was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process, and even during the uncertainties of Covid and lockdown, she kept me updated at all stages. I'm now settled into a lovely flat in Bournemouth (with a sea view!), and Christopher Shaw will definitely be my first port of call when I'm next looking for somewhere to live in this area.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleOur house view was welcoming, quick and on point. Matt showed around the property and was very helpful with all our questions from the first day to till date.

GoogleI feel the need to share this and I hope it may be helpful to others. I’ve dealt with Christopher Shaw twice and I don’t have a bad word to say about them. Lloyd and especially Matt are two gentlemen who I recommend to deal with as they seemed to me to be genuine and trustworthy which I find are traits that are rare to come across.

GoogleWorst Property service ever. They are running this agency so they can get a place to sleep in the day time. How many times you try to call them, they won't attend your calls, they won't call you back also. Trying to reach them to enquire about a property for past one month. No one is picking the call, no one is calling back or responding to my emails. Still the property is listed in Rightmove.
Sivapunnaivanam · 7 June 2024
Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Thank you for your feedback.
We understand your frustration and apologize for any inconvenience. Like many agencies, we are experiencing high demand for properties, resulting in increased calls and emails.
Our records show you have called twice in the past two weeks:
24/05/2024 at 10:46:38
06/06/2024 at 12:17:14
Our agents are often on other calls already or out on viewings and valuations, which may cause delays in our response. We appreciate your patience.
We have been serving the local area and community for over 15 years from our prominent town centre shop and office. If connecting by phone is difficult, you are always welcome to visit our branch. As a small team, we cover various daily tasks and appointments and do not operate like a call centre.
Thank you for your understanding.

GoogleWas just supposed to have a viewing with this company, after waiting outside the house for 15 minutes in -1 degrees, we finally got through to them on the phone, only to find out that they had let the property yesterday! They seem to claim they called us yesterday but when they told us who they called, it was no one in our group. As mistakes happen, we expected them to be very apologetic but found they were completely non empathetic. Not happy and will not be using this company again.

Good afternoon Imogen,
Matt here one of the Directors of the company. I'm very sorry to hear you had a bad experience with us today. I have spoken to the member of staff involved and although she is adament she left a message with your group to cancel the appointment booked for today she accepts that she cannot be 100% sure she was speaking to your group as we are dealing with so many groups this time of year, they are frequently moved and cancelled as properties get reserved or groups find their homes.
Please accept my sincere apologies that you were left outside a property, this is something we take very seriously and will work to improve on.
Yours sincerely
Matt Dilkes
