My sales progressor Linda has been fabulous and got a very tricky sale over the line by going above and beyond.

My experience with Sandersons was appalling. Communication was consistently unprofessional and dismissive, with delayed and passive-aggressive responses. The agency showed complete disregard for tenant safety and wellbeing. The property was also in terrible condition dusty, neglected, and far worse than when advertised. We left it in a better state than we received it. Overall, Sandersons proved to be unreliable, uncaring, and unsafe I would strongly warn any student against renting with them.

Moving with sandersons was ok, it was our second time renting through an estate agent. This time fully managed by the agent. Julie was very kind showing us round and managed to get us the property over other prospective viewers. The system sandersons used as the referencing process was very difficult and at times frustrating. Also once in the process, there seemed to be little room for manoeuvrability on their side which having met the landlord to me seems more about Sandersons wanting to maximise their income rather then the landlord actually rejecting the requests we made. I still don’t agree with paying a premium extra rent for having dogs when you pay a substantial amount of deposit to cover these things as well not sure if this is a sandersons but never had to do this last time round!

Jade was very professional. I sent an email to the office through the Zoopla app for my interest in renting an apartment, and I got an international phone call the next day by Jade. Although I was abroad and couldn't do the viewing, she asked me to manage the viewing by my friend. During the viewing, my friend and Jade was on a video call with me, and Jade explained every thing. Besides, Jade was very cooperative, she used to take minutes, an hour, two hours or less than 24 hours to response to my mails, and in every time she explained again and again all the related matters, or asked her colleague to answer my inquiries. Jade was so friendly, and this is very important thing to me as an international tenant. I was lucky to be Jade's client. Appreciate her efforts, many thanks to her.

I have dealt with this firm for quite a long time and received excellent services in all fronts. Today I want to illuminate Michelle Mathews who have been an asset and a devoted employee that served me as a landlord with patience and a high degree of professionalism. She has been very helpful in addressing all the financial issues, answering all the questions and paying all the bills on my behalf whenever she can. It is also important to give credit to Ms Donna Millen for her relentless efforts in management. She is always proactive in tenancy agreement renewals, follow up in maintenance, and respond to any questions promptly in a timely manner. I wish both Michelle and Donna a profound success in their careers.

A rare balance of professionalism, whilst feeling as though your best mate is taking care of your sale

So refreshing to find such a professional, considerate and caring estate agent. From the very first phone call, with John at the Wells branch, through the whole process so far, majority of the time with Kirsten, has felt very comfortable and that we’ve been in extremely safe hands. It seems there is a real skill at Sandersons in matching potential buyers to our home that we’ve cherished for 10 years.

We cannot recommend Steph K from the Canterbury office highly enough! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make our relocation smooth and stress-free. Thank-you for providing such an exceptionally efficient service that has made finding a property to rent on a tight timeline possible.

Thank you to Craig for being so patient with us while we made up our mind on the house. And wow, how lucky were we to have Charlotte from Sandersons helping us with the purchase process. We hit a few bumps along the way and she was right there with us making things happen when we thought we had hit a brick wall. Wouldn't hesitate to use the team again. Made a hard process a lot easier.

Wells branch

Wells branch, Pretentious, snobbish and discriminatory. After booking a valuation the previous day, a representative called me 2 hours before the appointment time to explain that the fees would be a minimum of £4000+vat plus £300 for marketing. Clearly didn't want to sell my property as we are on the lower value side(despite selling my neighbouring property), These people have completely forgotten that we are the customers and without us they would not have a business.

In the process of getting a rental property with Sandersons. First experience with an agent and I cannot fault the support of Steff Keen. She has been at the end of the phone and email when needed and answered my many many questions very promptly. Steff was very approachable and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommended 👌

One Call has had the pleasure of working with Sandersons for many years, carrying out maintenance and refurbishment works on landlord properties. The team at Sandersons are extremely knowledgeable and always go the extra mile to look after both the homes they manage and the tenants living in them. It’s a relationship we truly value.

Finding an apartment to rent was such a stressful journey, however, Jade made this very simple for me. From the very first time of viewing the apartment with her , she's been very amazing. She's got a lovely smile. Customer friendly and easy to relate with. She reassured me and she stood by her words. Thank you very much, Jade. God bless Sandersons. Five stars, well deserved! 😊

We’ve had a really positive experience working with this property company. Josh in particular has been excellent, incredibly proactive with his sites and always on top of what’s needed. He works closely with the Directors on site and consistently feeds back to us regarding servicing and repairs, which makes everything run smoothly and efficiently. It’s clear there’s strong communication and genuine care taken in managing their properties. We really value the professional and collaborative working relationship and look forward to continuing to work together.

I have enjoyed a truly positive experience with Sandersons over the years with both their Lettings and Sales departments. The whole team has been friendly, efficient, professional and supportive. A special thank you goes to Charlotte who was a wonderful point of contact and by my side through every step of the sales process. Her communication, guidance and reassurance made all the difference. Highly recommended

Everything to do with dealing with the Lettings office has been excellent - really polite staff, in particular Chloe who let our property to us and was so friendly all the time. Unfortunately, as with so many Lettings agents it goes downhill as soon as you deal with property management. Our house did look like a squat but with great potential so we took it on with the promise of a full clean to be carried out. It then wasn’t cleaned prior to our move-in date, and took Sandersons 5 days to get cleaners to come and sort the place out. Any email exchange I had with property management who’s job it was to sort this out was very blunt - Kay Proctor never seemed to want to answer any questions of offer a polite reply or even apology. This was chaotic for us as we had nowhere to go but to arrive at some relatives houses with no notice. There was no apology or offer of compensation to house us for the week that we were effectively homeless due to already vacating our previous home. The house was then made mostly clean, but we spent days carrying out some extra cleaning to make it properly habitable. See the attached images as a sample before and after on one section of flooring - this stained floor was deemed clean enough by the cleaning team, but worth our time to get it done properly. The same elbow grease was needed in various parts of the house. There’s a lot to say about the back and forth with the management team about works to be done on the house that have been promised but not carried out, but it’s still ongoing. We’ve just had the old stove removed from the garden - after three weeks of it being sat there with an initial proposal of ‘a few days’. There’s still rotten windows to be fixed and broken locks that were all supposed to be done before we moved in. There’s lots of positive reviews, but looking closer reveals that these are mostly related to sales. They do a good job of looking after ‘customers’, but unfortunately this extends only to house buyers, sellers, and landlords. Tenants don’t seem to get the same treatment - I think the team may be very used to dealing with students who I’m sure might be nightmarish at times, but unfortunately the rude treatment seems to rub off onto all others under the ‘tenant’ category.

All I need to say is Sanderson is the Trading name for the company I Conn. I urgent any student to be vigilant as the kind exterior when you lease from them soon will change. If there is the smallest of issues such a a scratch or mark on the wall not mentioned in you inventory amend asap as they will use it to withhold your deposit when you move out. Do not sign anything until you have seen your property. If they try to withhold your deposit TDS it is a much quicker process then they will tell you.

I have been searching for a property to rent in Canterbury over the last couple Of months. Due to the demand exceeding supply at the moment, most estate agents I contacted sounded unprofessional and at times unwilling to help! However when I phoned Sandersons estate agent a young man named Nadeem came across really professional and was extremely helpful. I felt the assurance to travel from Leicester, which is approximately 3.5 hours away to view the property he recommended and I really appreciated the way he dealt with us from start till the end. Thank you Nadeem for giving us an exceptional service, I am really thankful. I would definitely recommend his service to people in the rental market.

Cherie was an absolute super star. This is my first house purchase, and she looked after me every step of the way and ensured that everything went through as fast as possible, even though I knew nothing about what I was doing! She went above and beyond what was expected of her, and without a doubt, as a result of her persistence saved me a bunch of a money. If you have the opportunity to work with Sandersons, or Cherie then you are lucky! Thank you very much :)PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
