TrustpilotInefficient and opportunistic
Hamptons has been very punctual and helpful when it comes to sign contracts and seal the deal for renting apartments. We had a terrible experience,after that, as the agents wouldn’t respond to us in an efficient manner when it comes to fix things at the start of the tenancy. After 3 weeks we still believe that the flat we moved in to wasn’t sufficiently cleaned properly, which was promised at the start of the tenancy and no one seems helpful in fixing this issue. We are in disbelief of the inefficiency of the office in Paddington. When it comes to send money or finish contracts they are super responsive, however after, we had the worst customer experience I have ever seen . The day of our move in, WE had to contact them in order to get keys for the new flat, and never received any help after that. At this time, after 3 weeks of moving in, we still haven’t received any help to solve minor issues.

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.

TrustpilotExceptional Service and Support from Hamptons
My experience with Hamptons has been positive, largely due to the exceptional assistance provided by Ms. April Keane. When I found myself locked out after forgetting my keys inside the house, she went above and beyond to help me. Instead of having to call a costly locksmith, Ms. Keane promptly arranged for a spare key, saving me both time and money. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to resolve the situation efficiently were greatly appreciated. Hamptons is clearly committed to providing excellent customer service, and Ms. Keane’s efforts reflect the company’s dedication to client satisfaction.

GoogleJayne, Amanda & the team at Hamptons have been absolutely fantastic. They make you feel like your property is their top priority. Nothing is too much trouble. They are so experienced, diligent, professional and just plain lovely! We couldn’t have asked for more. Our cottage has passed to its new owners and the process was seamless. Thank you - Mr & Mrs B, Great Bourton

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

GoogleAs a family we entered a very difficult period with passing of our Mother. Ella and the team at Hampton's dealt with the sale of "Hayfield" our Mothers house with a high degree of professional skill and at the same time sympathy which was so much appreciated by ourselves. A big thank you and it goes with out saying that if we need the services of an Estate agent in the future then Hampton's and the Banbury team will be our choice.

GoogleWe are people that really appreciate service, and recognise those that go the extra mile. It is so refreshing to deal with an estate agent that does what it says it will do; Chris, Ella and all the team have been great during the sale and buying process and have maintained communication throughout. Having used Hamptons and Chris Scott previously we would have no hesitation in using the service of Hamptons Banbury again. Thanks again to the team in particular Chris and Ella for the hard work, they made a stressful time relatively trouble free.

GoogleFirstly, Abi and I would like to thank Graeme Porter and Hamptons team for all the support in selling our property in Bloxham. Their knowledge and advice was key in selling the house.
Our sale had an added level of difficulty as we immigrated to Australia while the sale was in process. The Hampton's team kept us up to date, was available for calls and responded to our questions and emails quickly. The service they provided helped reduce the stress of not being there and we felt that we could trust Hamptons to do their job and sell our house while we were busy setting up life in Australia.
We can recommend Hampton's to anyone who wish to sell or buy house.

GoogleI cannot commend Hamptons highly enough for the way they handled the recent sale of my parents house. The process of moving fairly elderly people from their home of over 40 years is difficult at the best of times but the Hamptons team were consistently professional, incredibly sensitive to my parents needs and emotions, compassionate and patient. Before the sale, we spoke to a number of potential estate agents in the area but I am so pleased we chose to work with Hamptons. A huge thanks to Chris, Jane, and Amanda for all your hard work. The sale and subsequent move went so smoothly - we still can't believe it. And now my parents are settled in to their new home and are looking forward to starting this new chapter in their lives.

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.

GoogleWe have worked with Hamptons, both on the rental of our property in the UK and the recent sale. With living in the USA we needed to have confidence in our agent working on our behalf and have always felt that they have looked after our interest with professionalism and efficiency. We have particularly always found Sarah in the Rental department to be wonderful and I will miss her cheery and professional manner. In Sales, Graham was amazing - he pushed through our sale smoothly and helped us iron out any wrinkles along the way. Thank you Chris Scott for managing such a wonderful team! Penny & Martin

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.
