Tom Willing is fantastic

Tom Willing has been fantastic, and I'm delighted he was the agent for a flat I bought in May 2022. I was focused on one property, but Tom made sure I compared the market by looking at other options, and this was appreciated. The 'making an offer' process wasn't stressful, and I felt very comfortable based on Tom's professionalism. Tom's replies to emails have always been thoughtful, complete and progress the purchase. I was a complicated buyer, an overseas resident wanting to purchase a flat for personal use (not BTL). Not a typical transaction. Tom suggested both a specialist mortgage broker and a local solicitor, and both have delighted to no end. The broker locked in a 5-year deal at a ridiculously low rate whilst managing the approval process patiently. The solicitor's attention to detail and thoroughness made me wonder about the recovery they make, given they charge such a modest fee. I have worked with others in these fields before - none are like those Tom suggested. The deal would have fallen over had Tom not suggested both of these people (after my efforts objectively lacked grunt). Tom's invaluable experience and focus on successful outcomes is something you don't find often. The experience with Tom and Savills, in general, has been excellent, and I now understand why the company has the reputation it does.

During Rental Period

My review is based explicitly on my interaction with the Savills team during the rental period. We have worked with Ritesh over the last year, and he has been phenomenal. Very responsive and also a great mediator between us and the landlord. There were some issues with our flat that the sales team did not take care of before our rental started; however, Ritesh was on top of it once we moved in.

Sale of Flat in Battersea

We worked with Tessa on the sale of our flat and she was great. Her and the team made it very quick and easy to get the property on the market and were very diligent in communicating with us throughout the process. They got us a good offer incredibly quickly. Tessa really came into her own during the conveyancing process where she was always available and did a fantastic job of shepherding the sale process along. We would definitely recommend Tessa and the Savills team.

Could Not Be Happier!

I just wanted to say that by far Paige Ford MARLA is the best! She was so thorough and genuinely such a lovely person! I was nervous about the whole process and put my mind at ease instantly as she expressed so much knowledge about the area and made every step of the way flow just right! She was very inclusive and with detail was able to answer all of my questions at every point! I highly recommend her and all the staff here. Ali was also very helpful! They really put your mind at ease. Know that you are in good hands with trustworthy efficient staff.

Excellent service

Excellent service. We placed the property on the market with two agents; Savills were much more professional and had far superior particulars and website. They took notice of our instructions and produced the best offers. We asked for offers over a figure and Savills produced them; the other agents appeared to ask for offers in the region of our figure and their offers were all under the figure we sought. I would use Savills again and recommend them to others. David Broomfield is very professional and a delight to deal with.

My experience with Saviils and…Yato was a pleasure

My experience with Saviils and particularly with Yato was always responsive and professional. She is a clear communicator who always found a solution to a problem if something needed service. It was a pleasure to deal with Savills and I look forward to working with them again.

Through George Hill at Savills Cornwall we purchased a building plot which involved lengthy and protracted negotiations with seller over a number of months. George did a fantastic job interceding when necessary to get the deal over the line acting as the intermediary between all parties to make the thing happen. I whole heartedly recommend George if you are considering selling in Cornwall.

Victoria Short of Savills, Stamford

My experience with Victoria Short of Savills, Stamford exceeded all my expectations. Disappointingly, the seller and our solicitors, were not prepared to put their full weight behind enabling me to purchasing a property in Rutland showing no sense of urgency. In fact, apathy and incompetence best describe the purchasing environment. Not perturbed, Victoria swiftly identified the strengths and weaknesses of those involved and formed a strategy of imposing relentless pressure on all fronts - realising that this was the only way forward. This strategy and her communication skills, both in the spoken and written word, coupled with her ability to quickly identify the best way forward in addressing each and every obstacle, and they appeared endless, gave her all the opportunity she needed to demonstrate her brilliant communication skills. Her dominance was so impressive that all parties seemed only prepared to move, in any meaningful direction, on her say so. Without Victoria at the ‘helm’ the process would have become so protracted the sale may well not have come to fruition for their were many times when I had lost all patience that my willingness to move forward was waning. I cannot thank Victoria enough for her performance. She can feel justly proud of her efforts for she has demonstrated that she is an extremely valued asset to the Savills, Stamford team.For completeness, I should point out, apart from her outstanding professional competence, she has a delightful and vivacious personality - always smiling and always looking on the bright side.Thank you Victoria.

Well worth considering

Anthony, Kelly and Felix were all a pleasure to deal with. I'm a landlord with over 10 years experience and all those mentioned were professional, responsive and helpful in my dealings with them. In particular, Anthony conducted seven viewings on a single packed day and I received an email from him the next morning with four offers over asking, presented in a digestible format with his thoughts on each - the first time anyone has taken the trouble to do this. Also, he doesn't call you "mate" and chew gum, which is a bonus!

My sale was handled by Savills in Marlow

My sale was handled by Savills in Marlow and in particular Mairead Monsen who was everything you could ask for from an agent selling your property. All the viewings were handled professionally and feedback was forthcoming after each visit. Once the buyer had made an offer Mairead was a reliable and diligent negotiator who helped bring the sale to a close. In the interim period until completion Mairead continued to be the main contact to resolve any issues and see the sale through to a satisfactory conclusion. I am pleased that Savills was my choice of agent for the sale and would recommend them whole heartedly to anyone looking to market their property.

I recently used Savills to sell my house

I recently used Savills to sell my house. Jon Lacey was my primary contact and he was excellent. Prior to getting an offer he kpt me well informed of progress including feedback on all viewings. When we had an offer made he was proactive in handling it and negotiating an improved offer which I then accepted. Best of all, during the sale process after I accetpted the offer he remained very active,chasing progress and keeping me well informed. Without doubt the best individual estate agent I have ever dealt with

I was incredibly impressed with the service that Savills offered. They sold our house within 3 months and I felt well informed at every stage. Troy from the Bristol office did a brilliant job. He conducted a thorough appraisal and valuation of our property and had expert knowledge of our local area. His report also gave a clear marketing strategy which provided brilliant results. The marketing particulars produced were excellent and the viewings were conducted during times that worked well for us. Troy maintained brilliant communication at all times and was always available to speak to. He went above and beyond and was involved in every stage of the process. Selling a house is often stressful but Troy and his team made the process feel very easy and everything ran incredibly smoothly. I would definitely recommend Savills to sell your house and we are very happy we chose them. Thanks so much Troy and the team.

Cannot recommend Jamie Carter & every member of his team highly enough. Their forthright manner was perfect. They were professional, courteous, honest, truthful, direct & all so delightful to work with. We enjoyed every minute of the sales process with them & a little sad when the sale was completed if we are honest. Perfect consistency throughout, didn’t matter if a team member was on holiday or day off. It must make a difference with the office sharing commission as apposed to one particular sales person. Certainly a plus if one is comparing agents. Wasn’t the reason we chose Savills. The helpfulness & friendliness of Alison in the office, when we made the initial call & meeting Jamie when he came to value, no contest. As long as their advice is taken on board, after all they have the knowledge & expertise, one could not ask for a better company to sell one’s home

Charlotte at Savills is a star!

We engaged Savills to sell our property in October 2019. We had a number of viewings before the couple who eventually bought our property. It was fraught with problems yet Charlotte established a relationship with our buyers to keep them informed of progress. I truly believe it's Charlotte's determination that kept the sale going despite numerous problems. I can't thank Charlotte enough for her tenacity to keep both me and our buyers informed every step of the way. I never stop singing praises for Savills service and how thorough Charlotte was. Thank you.

I deliberated about moving from another local and high profile estate agent in Maida Vale/Little Venice to Savills, when my property came up for its rental renewal but I am delighted I took the plunge. Luke and his team at Savills have been so attentive to all my needs as well as of those of my new tenants. Sometimes I find estate agents favour the tenants over the landlords, however Savills were well balanced in their recommendations and advice. They were extremely professional in all their dealings and went above and beyond to help us even with some last minute building issues. Luke, in particular, was always easy to get hold of and followed up everything personally to ensure everything ran smoothly. I whole-heartedly recommend them and will continue to use their services in the future. Congrats Savills, job well done!

Absolutely fantastic from start to end

Anna has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. She always went the extra mile in ensuring everything was covered and both myself and the buyers have had a stress free journey thanks to Anna and the whole Savills team. I have never sold a property before and I was incredibly impressed by the level of care and professionalism that Anna always demonstrated, even when I had a few emotional moments! Thank you Anna and everyone at Savills for ensuring my sale was a smooth process and thank you for achieving maximum interest and value for my house sale.

Savills manage office nightmare

Savills and Canmoor took over the management of our serviced office building and it's been problems since. They rushed to override all the existing systems and processes and made a complete mess of it. 6 months later we still can't get accurate invoices from them. We've probably wasted a business day of time trying to get accurate paperwork for our accounts and they just can't manage it. If Savills take over your managed office building you're probably going to want to move.UPDATE: Savills: here's the information you've asked for.UPDATE 2: Unfortunately Savills response that they take this seriously is looking like just a marketing ploy as they haven't stepped in to sort it out yet.CENTRE: Witney Business and Innovation Centre.Since Savills took over, we lost the ability to use direct debit and moved backwards to standing order which means we have to change the value manually if the monthly fee changes.Savills aggressively took over and cancelled invoices by the centre we'd already paid and demanded they be repaid using their system causing an unnecessary mess of invoices.Unfortunately as well, they couldn't cope with invoicing and multiple invoices with incorrect information have been sent. Time was wasted correcting these.Confusion was then created around contract changes they were going to mandate. This seems to have gone quiet.They then spelled our email address wrong, so we didn’t receive invoices. We wasted time getting these sent so we could have correct accounts. They said this was fixed. It wasn't.Three months ago we didn't receive invoices again. Savills demanded we continue to pay even though we had no paper trail. They said the problem was that they'd misspelled our email address. They said this was fixed. Again, it wasn't.We said we were cancelling our standing order and we would only pay when we receive an invoice in future. They said we'd be in breach of contract and got quite defensive. We again didn't receive an invoice, so we didn't pay. Savills didn't seem to notice.So we contacted them again. They said the problem was that they'd misspelled our email address. Again, they said this was fixed, maybe it is, but they said they have no way to test it until we get the next invoice.We checked the invoice is for the wrong amount. Again. We asked for a rent reduction to compensate for the time which is now probably two business days of chasing and correcting. They refused.We're now spending time booking appointments with other office companies for an office move and every time we ask to confirm the management company isn't Savills.Such a shame that Savills is making the centre look bad. The centre was exceptionally well managed before Savills came, they really add no value and are just a problem.

Having been disappointed by the performance of a previous Estate Agent we approached George Hill following a marketing approach we had received in the post. He responded quickly to our enquiry, visiting to carry out a valuation, and helped to put together a marketing strategy that properly reflected the quality of our home. The marketing material was produced in good time, and within a week we had a number of viewings. The viewings kept coming, and within 4 weeks we had an offer. The offer was within the guidelines we had set ourselves and we accepted. During the ensuing purchase process, George and his team were always available and we moved to exchange in a short time. We have now exchanged and will complete in just over 2 weeks time. Rob and Sue FordPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Chris and his team did an excellent job in guiding through the sale of my waterside apartment. Getting the pricing right, the photos and the handling of the viewings in a professional and friendly manner, as well as keeping me informed during a fairly lengthy sale were all part of it. They had a good rapport with both the buyer and the buyer's solicitor so could keep me abreast of the situation. Plus a successful outcome. I can't praise then enough!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We have recently exchanged contracts on a property we are purchasing through Savills in Truro. We dealt with Chris Clifford and Helen Boss who were professional, polite and extremely helpful. Although we were not their clients they were in regular contact with us and kept us up to date throughout the process. In fact we had more contact and help from Savills than our own estate agents who we were paying. We highly recommend Savills and we will certainly be using them ourselves in the future. Thank you Chris and Helen you have been fantastic.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Savills Truro marketed and obtained an offer on my home, a converted village school, within 6 weeks. There were a high number of viewings and each was carried out professionally and the agent gave plenty of notice for each. Our purchaser was extremely keen but there were two others in the chain. The lower end of the chain was beset with delays and we have only exchanged contracts after some 4 months of frustration and delays. Throughout we found the support Mr George Hill of Savills invaluable. He provide advice, support, and was always able to find the cause of the delays and suggest a solution. He was outstanding. I have sold houses in NZ and always thought that UK Estate agents did not do much for their fees. George and Savills certainly earned their fee! I highly recommend Savills to anyone selling their home.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
