TrustpilotEdward Church of the Canterbury office…
Edward Church of the Canterbury office having taken over from another Estate Agent managed a complicated probate estate sale. After a lack of interest in the sale as a whole he devised a 3 lot plan that has, with his patience and persistence delivered a result. His professional and courteous manner and common sense got us over the line.

TrustpilotAndrew Ligertwood from Strutt & Parker was incredible.
From the first time we met Andrew we felt confident he was the person to take our home to market. He understood us, how much a home we had built and lived in for 30 years was a bittersweet move, however the time was right to down size.

GoogleWe have never experienced such lack of professionalism. The team was aware that we are travelling 1.5-2 hours with infant twins to view multiple properties. On arrival I saw an email sent 5-10 minutes prior to the viewing saying it was cancelled because nobody could show us around due to someone calling in sick last minute. When calling the agency they apologied of course saying that the person in charge at the development as well as the agency were not around either. The developer apparently did not even know the time of the viewing hence the late cancellation. It is beyond me how nobody can cover a sick colleague especially under these circumstances and how the viewing time is unknown so potential buyers are not wasting time and petrol driving there, not to mention the effort it takes travelling with infant twins.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the last-minute cancellation of your viewing. We understand the significant effort involved in traveling such a distance, especially with young children, and regret that we fell short of providing the seamless experience you rightfully expected. Unfortunately, the unexpected illness and absence of a key team member of the developer’s team left them unable to provide adequate coverage for your viewing. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are reviewing our internal processes to improve how we manage unforeseen situations, and to cater in the best possible way for unexpected events.

TrustpilotA Very Personable Execellent Agent
William Allison of the Summertown Office.I have had two viewings with Will this week and felt I needed to write a review. I have been buying and selling property for the last thirty years and Will is just the most perfect person to be an estate agent. He has just the right amount of presence and confidence but completely understands the need to also be silent and allow the prospective buyer time to think. All questions were answered succinctly and his calm persona makes him one of the best agents I have had a viewing with. He really is absolutely innately equipped for this vocation. Thank you so much!

We don’t normally write reviews, but in this case, my wife and I were so impressed and happy with the service provided by Strutt and Parker, and in particular by Aaron Turner, that I felt I should, in the true spirit of reviews, to offer help to those who are seeking insight into Strutt and Parker!

TrustpilotStrutt & Parker Review
We engaged Strutt & Parker to sell our country house property in May 2023. This turned out to be a very difficult period for property sales. We felt S & P gave us every support during this time, with regular communication, realistic appraisals and an enduring interest. We didn't feel that we went 'stale' and throughout the process S & P continued to promote our property and seek a buyer culminating in a successful sale. We are so very grateful for all that the team did to achieve this. We would definately recommend them.

TrustpilotThank you to Amy McMenemy
On behalf of my Husband & I, we wanted to extend our gratitude to Amy McMenemy in the proactive experience she provided for us throughout our journey to sell our property. We emigrated and left the sale of our home in the hands of Amy. In a somewhat tumultuous market, to say we were apprehensive about finding a buyer in a timely manner would be an understatement. It was through Amy’s tenacity and dedication from chasing every lead, to revisiting previously interested parties that she secured us a good buyer. We found her communication style extremely easy to work with, especially given we are now on the other side of the world. We have used Strutts for the last two sales of our properties & Amy exemplifies the great reputation they’ve built up over many years. Thank you Amy. We would personally ask for you next time should we return to the UK property market in future.Mr & Mrs Wilson.

GoogleIt took us almost 2 years to sell our somewhat unusual Grade 2 listed house in central Canterbury despite many viewings and a substantial drop in the price. We were not helped by the sudden increase in interest rates and a consequent falling housing market. Strutt & Parker, and Joe Charlton in particular, were supportive and assiduous in achieving a sale. They were always professional and communication was of the highest order with careful checks on prospective buyers. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them and would certainly use them if we ever have to move again.
Hi Nick, thank you for your feedback. We are very proud of our Canterbury team and will make sure to pass your comments on to them. Best wishes, Strutt & Parker

GoogleA Buyers Perspective.....bought and sold several houses over the years and have been very impressed with the quality of S&P staff. House viewings are organised promptly but what has been a stand out for us is the quality of the people showing you around. Always early and incredibly well informed on the finer details relating to the property. In my experience one is often left with the feeling that an agent is going through the motions and the person showing you around doesnt really know much about the house they are trying to sell. S&P are different and I've been really impressed with the knowldege and professionalism of the front line troops whose job it is to show you around and ultimately sell the 'dream'!

GoogleThanks to Joe Charlton and his team the sale of our property went through. Joe has been constant and calming presence throughout the whole process, stepping up when needed and thanks to him, the sale was successfully concluded. Thank you :-)
Hi Katrina, thanks very much for your review. We're glad Joe was able to support you throughout the process. Best wishes, Strutt & Parker

TrustpilotS&P- A highly professional, efficient agency.
I am so glad I chose S&P to sell my large Georgian home. I have a long history of buying and selling houses so I almost expected the pitfalls and inefficiency that have become predictable from other agents. However, S&P's Consultant Gina Simpson made it a very short and pain-free process. I am sure behind the scenes she worked very hard, but for me her no fuss, no headache, and professional approach made it all go orderly and smoothly to its conclusion. Her negotiation skills on our behalf meant we ( she ) achieved almost the asking price in a home that is so unique it could easily have stuck around on the market if left to other agents' middle-of-the-road efforts.Gina is empathetic, full of great ideas and initiative for overcoming hurdles and is also very personable and pleasant to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend S&P to anyone at any level, but in particular for high-end properties.

Trying to sell in the recent economic climate was not easy. We were very happy with the service provided by Amy and Hamish who were always responsive and helpful, meeting as necessary to discuss next steps and how best to respond to a changing sales market. They realised how much the house meant to us over many years and made good links with our lawyer pending the sale.

GoogleI have never met Joe, but have communicated with him on the phone and via email. with regard to the purchase of an apartment. He has been first class throughout the long, drawn-out process. Emails have been promptly answered. However naive my question he has never betrayed the irritation he was probably experiencing. It has been a pleasure to work with him, and I cannot speak more highly of him.
Hi Rodney, thank you so much for your feedback. We will certainly pass your comments on to Joe. Best wishes, Strutt & Parker

TrustpilotKatie ( Lettings Team | Strutt & Parker, Gerrards Cross)
Context: Property let by Strutt & Parker, directly managed by landlord.After encountering several issues with the boiler and my landlord being out of the country, we opted to revert to Strutt & Parker for support and assistance.Katie from the Lettings Team, did not only go above and beyond her own remit to accommodate all issues in a highly timely manner, Katie also brought a lot of reassurance and a phenomenal delivery of empathy and kindness, when my emotions took the best of me.I commend and applaud Katie for her professionalism, efficiency and emotional intelligence.Endlessly, the performance of a team is only a true reflection of its leadership.Thank you Katie and Gerrards Cross Lettings Team.

GoogleWe commissioned Stutt & Parker to sell our lovely Victorian house recently. The tone and positioning of the Marketing was right on point for this part of the market something we had fallen down on with previous agents. The quality of potential buyers was top notch so no time wasting and the communications from Simon & Jane gave us confidence that we were in good hands with some tricky negotiations needed at times. We've exchanged and look forward to moving soon, I've already recommended their services to one of my clients. I don't recommend people to my clients unless I know they have equally high professional standards. House selling doesn't need to be stressful if you're in the right hands.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

TrustpilotSadly our experience hasn't been great…
Sadly our experience hasn't been great with Strutt & Parker.Here is some honest feedback about our experience!1. Promises and deadlines for marketing our property were undelivered2. The photo shoot was that bad we had to appoint our own photographer.3. Once a viewing was booked we'd spend hours preparing our property to look its best and after the viewing we'd receive zero feedback.This was on the selling side only.Ref the purchasingWe were in a chain whereas both properties were marketed by Strutt and Parker. The vendors of where we were purchasing decided they couldn't find anywhere suitable after we'd spent £2500 on legal fees. If this was not bad enough we were even more mortified when Strutt & Parker willingly re-marketed the property just a few months later for £50k more without even consulting us first.This will be costly to Strutt & Parker going forwards as we are property developers in the area, and they could have generated a lot more business from us, however we have gone with another agent who will be selling 5 properties for us in the first instance.

TrustpilotSophia and Sharnie from Strutt & Parker Suffolk
Sophia and Sharnie from Strutt & Parker in Suffolk were exceptional in working with us to find our country house and then get the purchase over the line. Their local knowledge and understanding of the properties we saw was the best I’ve experienced from any agents around the world. With an overseas vendor and in the middle of a covid lockdown they proved excellent brokers and the sale wouldn’t have happened without their input. I hope we are in our house for a long time but if I was ever to sell or looking for something new then they would be my first call, highly recommended!

TrustpilotThe very best Estate Agents
I'd like to highly recommend Steven Spencer and team from the Strutt & Parker Gerrards Cross office. We had been looking to move home for the past 18 months and struggled to find the perfect property which met our family’s needs. Steven was very patient with us and showed us many different properties. At no time did he try to force a sale, instead he showed us properties which all could genuinely work. The end result was that we moved in to the perfect home and are extremely grateful to the Steven and all the Strutt & Parker. The experience was amazing!Best regardsMr & Mrs Gill

TrustpilotGina Simpson at Strutt & Parker offers an outstanding service
My parents made the decision to sell our family home of 40 years and after being recommended we instructed Gina Simpson from Strutt & Parker to orchestrate the sale. Gina has been outstanding from start to finish. It is very hard to find an estate agent that actually fulfils their duties but Gina exceeded all of our expectations and has been so professional whilst applying personal touches to her service.My parents are thrilled and we cannot thank Gina enough and will definitely recommend Her services to friends and family.

TrustpilotCaroline Clark disgraceful attitude.
We've dealt with Caroline Clark twice over the past year and we are truly disgusted with her manners. Very unprofessional and abrupt, cannot wait to get rid of you!Do not waste your money doing reference checks with her, she's not open and honest about what the landlord will and will not accept. You will pay for the reference only to discover that there's some reason that you can't be accepted as a tenant. Her one-liner emails are very impersonal. She forgets that she's made an appointment for a house viewing and has kept us waiting at a property while she casually drives up without an apology. The worst customer service ever. Disgusting.
