TrustpilotExcellent estate agents to deal with
Excellent estate agents to deal with. Gavin, Annamarie, Amberley and Gina have been so patient, attentive, informative and have kept us up to date throughout the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble. They are the one thing that held everything together between our solicitors and the buyers solicitors. I would throughly recommend Hern and Crabtree above all previous local estate agents I have used over the years. Many thanks Damian.

TrustpilotI can not thank Hern and Crabtre enough I would stongly recommend them.
I can not thank Hern and Crabtree enough as to the way they are dealing with my house move. Gavin Sheppard came yesterday to give the valuation, he made us feel so relaxed and did not put any pressure on us at all to go with his estate agents . as I have experienced with other estate agents who can be very pushy . Gavin was curious and friendly and gave a true estimate of our home. He sent his colleague Mike Bailliy to take photos and measure the rooms Mike is also a very caring,friendly man, nothing to much trouble for him he is very patient, he took so many lovely photo's of our home, I am delighted with them. I would strongly recommend Hern and Crabtree I feel valued as a customer in their hands

GoogleWe have recently sold our daughter’s flat in Fairwater using the wonderful services of Hern and Crabtree: Llandaff Office.
Considering how stressful this process can be the whole team of this office made this a very smooth and stressless time.
A chance meeting in Llandaff car park where I bumped into Rodri Humphrey’s, Area Manager on Graduation day lead to Jo Shears
( Estate Agent ) meeting at the flat with us the next day. This was very helpful as we live on the Isle of Wight.
By Monday of this weekend visit, the photographer and one of the Directors of this company, Mike Baillie came to photograph the Flat so that the sale and information could be advertised. This Sale was online and “live” by Tuesday.
There was one viewing day the following week and offers were made and accepted by Tuesday 2nd August, one week after being released for sale.
The team of Jo,Denise, Owen and Harry and the Sales Progression Manager, Jan Street all aided a smooth transaction. The completion took 20 weeks and 1 day from offer to contracts exchanged.
Jo also recommended a removals company, Aust Removals. Again this company is run very efficiently by Paul Aust and has been for the last 28 years. The team packed and moved us over a 2 day period. The flat was empty from the 18th November 2022.
We can highly recommend this company who add a personal touch in a process which can be full of obstacles.However the team were always at the end of the phone and or e.mail to ensure that the process was managed and completed very successfully.
Thank you TEAM!

TrustpilotTwo Bad Experiences is More Than Enough
Our experience with Hern & Crabtree has been extremely disappointing, and unfortunately I cannot recommend this estate agency based on the way we were treated as prospective buyers.
Lisa · 10 September 2026
Agent replied · 25 September 2026
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
I was sorry to read your comments, as I do not feel they fully reflect what took place. I would therefore like to provide some additional context based on our records and my own involvement at the time.
My involvement began after you raised concerns regarding a property in Heath. The team had contacted you shortly before your viewing, as a courtesy, to make you aware that several offers had already been received that day. I appreciate that this was upsetting, but the intention was transparency rather than pressure. We felt it was better to tell you before you attended than allow you to view without knowing the position.
I chose to telephone you personally so that we could discuss your concerns properly. We spoke at length about how offers are handled, our obligations to the seller and the circumstances surrounding that particular property. Following our conversation, I emailed to confirm that we wanted to help you with your search, would keep your details on file with your agreement and would continue to make you aware of suitable new instructions. I also made clear that our formal complaints procedure remained available to you should you wish to pursue the matter.
Your reply at the time thanked me for the conversation and our openness, and confirmed that you and your partner “would both very much like to continue working with Hern & Crabtree to assist us in finding a home.”
I am therefore disappointed by the suggestion that the support discussed subsequently did not materialise.
Following our conversation, I personally attempted to arrange for you to view another property before it reached the open market. Unfortunately, that owner later chose to instruct another agent. Our records also show that we sent you details of more than 20 properties over the following months, arranged further viewings and, on one occasion, came close to agreeing a purchase before you decided that particular home was not right for you.
Different estate agents will have different approaches to marketing. Our responsibility is to advise sellers appropriately, generate interest and present all offers received. Sometimes this means multiple offers are made very quickly, even before all booked viewings have taken place. Ultimately, decisions regarding whether to accept an offer or continue with further viewings rest with the seller.
I am sorry that the original situation left you feeling pressured, as that was certainly not the intention. Having reviewed the circumstances, however, I do not believe the team acted improperly. They were trying to keep you informed of a rapidly changing situation and, following your complaint, we made genuine and sustained efforts to assist with your onward search.
We take service extremely seriously and are proud of the reputation our team has built locally. If you remain dissatisfied, you are of course entitled to revisit the matter formally and I would be happy to investigate it again in accordance with our complaints procedure. Please contact me directly at rhodri@hern-crabtree.co.uk and I will resend the relevant information.
Most importantly, I am pleased to hear that you have now found and completed on a property. I sincerely wish you every happiness in your new home and all the very best for the future.
Kind regards,
Rhodri

TrustpilotSale of Retirement Property
We originally had the retirement flat on the market for sale with a well known retirement property based estate agents. It soon became apparent that the service they were providing was ineffective in securing a viewing let alone a sale. We were even asked to take our own photos, a request which we definitely declined.We decided to employ Hern&Crabtree Llandaff as they had already sold other flats within the complex. The manager Owen, was very professional and quickly secured a buyer after the second viewing. The communication we recieved from Owen and the team was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking to sell a property in the Fairwater/Llandaff area.

Failed to reply to two viewing requests (one via zoopla on a Monday and the other through their website on a Tuesday). Tried phoning but had to leave a voicemail on a Thursday to which I had no reply. Phoned again later that day and found out that viewings were no longer being accepted.

GoogleWe purchased through H&C and completed in February. We had our first dealings with Owen who called us to give us the good news, and talked us through the next steps. He was great to deal with and really helpful. Our sales progression was handled by Jan, who was an absolute star from start to finish. We were lucky that we had really lovely sellers, but when things did get a little tricky with the mortgage lenders, Jan worked with us both to get the best outcome. It all worked out and we don’t think it would have been possible without Jan’s support and advice! We will definitely look to sell through Hern & Crabtree if we need to move in the future.
