My property manager Max is very efficient and promptly resolves any issues I might have. Old properties come with their share of problems, but I’ve always had the issues raised on the app resolved quickly.

TrustpilotHamptons letting service for landlords…
Hamptons letting service for landlords not fit for purpose. Hamptons managed my property in Stratford upon Avon in a very unprofessional way. They have very poor communication and mis managed the property while still charging very high fees. After requesting a section 21 to be sent to my tenants at the end of their contract, Hamptons filled out the form incorrectly. Do not trust them to manage your property. Sorting out the mess and mistakes they made has cost me time, money and stress. JUST read response from Hamptons and have already contacted customer care to make an official complaint.
Thank you for leaving us a review, customer service is very important to us and we are naturally disappointed to read your feedback.

TrustpilotA truly excellent service
A truly excellent service! We’re very pleased with the services we receive for the house we rent in Oxford managed by Hamptons. We’ve been in this house for over 1.5 years and our experience has been that Hamptons staff are professional, efficient and kind. Particular thanks goes to our property manager Max Barnes who has been very quick at sorting out problems in a helpful and friendly manner.

GoogleHello Your companay has been amazing and extremely proffesional .The service and attention to detail we received from Emily Dickson was beyond expectation and overall an absolute pleasure. The process has been seemless and efficient and i would recommend both Emily and your agency to everyone i Know. I also think that in no time at all with her professional attitude and caring customer management skill she will no doubt cbe climbing the ladders of your organisation very soon. Please ensure this review reaches her management team as i am a business owner myself and think staff should be made aware they have done a great job. Thanks again for all your help

TrustpilotNOT ALL HEROS WEAR CAPES
Firstly I think it’s important to establish that in my 42 years of life; I have never, ever, written a complaint review of any sort. As I generally can’t be bothered; and let’s face it - what’s really going to be done about it anyway. Who cares what a “Karen” really thinks.However, if this changes just one persons mind about a Hamptons letting, then I will die safe in the knowledge that I have fulfilled my duty to protect and serve. After renting the flat from Hamptons (which in itself was attritional, but not enough for me to go into detail about) my partner and I have been inundated with problem after problem with the flat itself. Everything from the flat being dirty when moving in, to broken beds not fit to use, and a shower leak that still isn’t fixed 12 months later. Leading to water seeping into the entire flat, which has developed mould in the carpets, walls, doors and skirting. Enter into the fray (stage right) the Hamptons Property Management team. A team so devoid of ability to coordinate, communicate or deliver anything of substance; I honestly thought at various points a friend was pranking me. At times it feels as if this team is intentionally useless. Like a social experiment to test the patience of the nation. In 10 months we have had 3 different property managers ranging in ability from; useless to pathetic. Under the useless stewardship of Alex Ferrin who categorically told me that the landlords were more important than the tenants; we have had Grace, Donna and now Minneaux as property managers that do nothing to help or support residents with genuine problems. Not cosmetic issues like chipped paint…but broken, useless essentials like a shower!Several of these issues are still not fixed at the time of writing this….12 months after reporting them. Shower and Bed principally. We have had to contact a solicitor to pursue our landlord and Hamptons for compensation on these matters.We continued paying the rent to maintain the high ground when this inevitably reaches court to satisfy the situation. But it is through massively gritted teeth. Estate agents can get a bad name. But Hamptons have earned it.

TrustpilotHow Hamptons totally left us high and dry
we had arranged to move in to a new property with Hamptons, everything was going fine. the last minute the current tenants of the property we had hoped to move in to fell through, it happens. how ever at that point baring in mind we had signed the tenancy agreement, also considering we had given our notice on our current property. the landlord/ Hamptons should have been liable to sort us out accommodation in that situation. Hamptons came back with a statement saying, they had signed but not dated the contract and therefore were not obligated to help at all. this is the shadiest thing ive ever witnessed. during that phase, where you have given notice and signed new contract, its imperative you are protected by the tenancy contract for situations just like this. if you are going to do business with Hamptons, triple check everything. we had a week to find a new property, we ended up somewhere far less than ideal. I would sincerely recommend not doing business with Hamptons

TrustpilotExcellent service
We had been with Hamptons for more than 2 years and I would like to send my great appreciation for their exceptional service. Especially to Ms Harleigh Doherty who had been our property manager. She was always prompt with just about everything that we had concerned about. Had the property was not put on sale, we will definitely be staying and wouldn’t think of moving out. Thank you so much for all the help and outstanding service!

Sandra McCrae - leaving a tenancy is never easy but leaving one under harder stressful circumstances was made easier with the clear and courteous communication from Sandra. Sandra has been so helpful and so kind and I appreciate how much she did to help myself.

TrustpilotDISGUSTING
In my opinion, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross branches threw mud at the wall with our viewings and evidently failed to familiarise themselves with basic details of our property. I discussed terminating contracts with the GX manager, Andrew Riley, (below) after just a few weeks. In my opinion, he spoke inappropriately of the Beaconsfield branch management and I felt he begged me to move to his branch in GX. I found their comments to be racist and sexist. They searched for a key in our house that they had not been given and left the external door unlocked with this key in. They seemed somewhat inconvenienced that I held matters briefly whilst a my Dad was ill and I felt aggressively pursued whilst grieving. I raised a formal complaint to the GX manager (below) branch which he failed to acknowledge directly and passed to HQ. The response I felt was unreasonable and there was no offer to appeal the decision. On calling HQ 'customer care' I was told that was the end of the line and would not offer a name for appeal to be addressed to. They provided my personal data to a debt collector without even having sent an invoice? For me, it was an unnecessary and painful experience and it seems they are ruthlessly numb to recognise the issues. Without recognition there can be not acceptance or improvements. Just wanted to share my opinion and hopefully prevent anyone else feeling the way I felt from my Hamptons experience.

TrustpilotHamptons Property Managers
We have been renting through Hamptons since April 2022. Our property managers (we have had 3 during that time). Katie Tucker our first and Lucy Pickles our current, have always been helpful and responsive, with any issues been dealt with speedily and professionally. We are grateful for their continued communication and assistance. Lucy is a great asset to the company!
5/5
GoogleReally happy with my Greene & Co. experience. When they say they are going to do something it's done immediately, and my flat was sold in the first 4 viewings. James Lee has been fantastic staying on the case when solicitors leave things to slide a little. I was given good advice from the beginning. When I hear how friends are faring in the area, I think it would be madness to use any other estate agent in Queens Park / The Kensals.

Trustpilotwe've got very negative experience as tenants, the agent was lying to us, causing us quite a lot of anxiety.
TLDR: we've got very negative experience as tenants, the agent was lying to us, causing us quite a lot of anxiety. After reference check, and accepted offer, the landlords kept delaying signing the contract for over 3 weeks. The agent (Evelyn Aragundi) communicated to us that there are no reasons for the delay, and motivated the delay with very interesting arguments "so we have everything confirmed", "they are really relaxed personalities", "they're currently travelling,", "they're very busy people", "there's no reason for this as such, I mean it's not like they're unsure". After some very involved week, we've got an email from a manager (James White) of the agent saying that "date was a bit vague until a more conclusive timeframe was confirmed".That clearly demonstrated that agent lied to us, stating that "so we have everything confirmed" while it was not. We wont make an offer in the first place, if we knew that. Worst of all, during the process we've seen no intention to clearly comunicate situation to us, and no intention to find a solution that would work for both parties.

TrustpilotVery helpful!
Just moved into our new home and had some issues we needed help with. Emma Martin, Senior Property Manager, was very helpful, prompt and we were impressed with how quickly and efficiently Emma was able to help us get things sorted. Great and clear communication. Very grateful.

TrustpilotQuick resolution
Danish in the property management team quickly resolved some issues we had with the house we are renting. His communication was great and he looked to resolve them as soon as he could, following up to make sure they were resolved with the contractor.

TrustpilotAssumingly a "large" company but plays "dirty little" tricks wasting buyers and vendors time
We wish having seen the review titled "As untrustworthy as they come"The Canary Wharf office of Hamptons did the same to us. They confirmed in WRITTING the acceptance of our offer last Friday. We provided IDs and proof of funds on the same day that they were happy with. However, 1st thing on Monday morning they say the solicitors acting for the Vendors accepted another offer when Solicitors do not even work during the weekend. Worse still, the offer was put forward by the same office which is really odd as the property was marked SOLD on the portals already. So we echo the feedback below:As untrustworthy as they come. When making an offer on a property we found that they just simply used our offer to create a false market where there was previously no other bidder despite property being on the market for some time... Outcome being some one else has also clearly been misled and ended up paying over the odds for a property based on games. We even made the offer that they say the vendors would accept. Now they say someone offered much higher once THEY told the new buyer that some one else made an offer being accepted already hence the property is off the market. What Hamptons is playing here, is encouraging Gazumping which is bad for all parties. Not surprisingly some of their other transactions fell through thus, Vendors lose out on sales and time. Buyers and vendors wishing to work on fair market price should be wary of this dirty games as some one definitely gets hurt by wasting time and money unnecessarily.

We have been using Hamptons for managing our rental property for 11 years. They are extremely professional especially our Property Manager Gemma Ward.

GoogleOur contact, James Lee has been very efficient, knowledgeable and determined throughout this whole process. He took the time to understand what we wanted and had absolute conviction when he said that there was a house coming on the market that we would love and he was right as we have now exchanged on that exact house. Not only that, he managed to rally a fairly large chain together in order to exhcange in record time. Thank you very much! Highly recommend!
5/5
GoogleI used Greene and Co for both the sale of my property and my onward purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Their advice about the current market, in comparison to other agents, was bang on the money. They arranged numerous viewings during my sale and were diligent with arrangements for these and responsive with feedback. I have also really valued their proactive support with my subsequent purchase. With thanks especially to Josh Holder for bringing in my sale and for finding me a lovely new home. Thanks also to James Lee for bringing me a host of viewings and for even rushing round with our keys when we'd locked ourselves out! And lastly, thanks to Paul Harris for being so steadily at the helm.
5/5
GoogleWe had a fantastic experience with Greene & Co, who - after our initial buyer (found through another agent) pulled out - swiftly moved in and found us a replacement buyer, at asking price, within a matter of days. We have found all of the team at the Kensal office to be highly professional and motivated. Paul Harris in particular, who has been our key contact throughout the sale, has been great to work with - a great communicator, very personable, pro-active and clearly determined to deliver results. We would recommend Paul and the Kensal Rise Greene & Co office highly (shout out to Josh and Daniel Esterkin also...!).

TrustpilotSalisbury disappointing
If the Salisbury office functioned in the way we were initially promised, and as the web site and brochures suggest, then our sale would have gone a lot more smoothly and faster.It was shocking to find the first two viewers in the 4 days since listing whisked away to view an off-the-market, discreetly available property before they had returned for their second viewing with us. I gave notice to terminate the contract at that point. I am not paying Hamptons nearly £10,000 to sell someone else’s house.A sale was arranged however the chain involved was not exactly as portrayed to us and this eventually created difficulties and delays.Problems further up the chain are not the responsibility of Hamptons but when these were resolved I phoned and wrote to Hamptons specifically asking for the lower end of the chain to be reconfirmed and checked for completeness. Despite promises that they had I discovered 3 weeks later that emails were sent but not followed up, and we encountered further delays whilst the bottom end of the chain dealt with pre-contract issues that should have been resolved months ago and on one of the many likely days for exchange of contracts renegotiated their price.Hamptons bill was sent to my conveyancer about 10 minutes after exchange of contracts. Good to see they are efficient in some areas if not others.We met some very nice people at Hamptons including one who was really impressive. But Hamptons really need to make sure all their delivery lives up to all their promises.

Ellie Marsters is a Property Manager at Hamptons. She is in a league of her own, when it comes to responsiveness, taking accountability to get things done and being engaged with both the tenant and landlord. Having had some experience with other Property Managers in other companies, I would recommend anyone to seek out the services of Ellie at Hamptons.
