I cannot recommend Strakers enough!

I cannot recommend Strakers enough.We’ve had a nightmare trying to sell our house (not because of the house it was beautiful! but due to buyers not really having a clue or being very honest during the process!).What Strakers provided was someone to discuss and push on your behalf when things were getting extremely tense and stressful. We lost a sale due to first time buyers messing us around and not understanding the buying process but we managed to sell our house again within a week!The team were lovely from the get go, each and everyone we met kept us informed and communicated with us extremely well at every single viewing.Also huge shot out to Helen - literally everyone needs a Helen when buying and selling! We cannot thank Helen enough for the times she supported us and made it much less stressful. Helen was not just a negotiator, keeping everything on track but my much needed counsellor when things got super stressful!I would not hesitate recommending Strakers to anyone and if we ever move (never again when pregnant 🤣🤪) we will certainly be using them. Thank you all so much for your efforts in getting us sold and moved before our babies are here.

Professional from start to finish. They made everything stress-free and were very reliable with excellent, timely communication. Arranging viewings with tenants was particularly appreciated and time-saving.

Tenants Support at Strakers

We rented a property through Strakers for the past 4 and half years and found the experience to be pleasant and seamless but would like to thank Nicky, the property manager based at the Devizes office who has been a constant of support and polite professionalism throughout the time and would make us want to use Strakers again in the future.

WARNING! FINANCIAL DANGER! Not your friend. Not your partner. They do a marginal job. Always. They will set you up. They will happily pile drive you into extortionate situations. If you are extremely desperate and you must keep a property at any price, this is your business. If you want to skew your tax bill and stow some money away, this is the place to go. "Managing 600+ properties", there's barely any people rating this place. For of many many reasons. May the games begin

Everyone at Strakers was so friendly and ‘human’, even when I got stressed or in a muddle about my house purchase. Thank you to the whole team for helping me start my new life in Corsham!

Expert guidance through a big transition

We recently purchased our new home in Pewsey with the help of Mark Loveday at Strakers, and we’re so grateful for his support throughout the process. Calm, professional, and always one step ahead, Mark made everything feel manageable, even the tricky bits.

Very good communication

Very good communication, which is rare for an estate agent these days. Guy was spot on with the valuation as we wanted a quick sale. He priced it right to generate the interest and then managed to get the buyers up £10k.

Fabulous from start to finish - as new landlords we felt supported every step of the way. Not that there were many steps - our property was let to the first people that viewed it! Thanks to Karen, Sian, Nick and all the team!

10 years of good management

I have used Strakers for over 10 years as the managing agents of a rental property. I have been impressed with their professional approach and prompt service as and when required, and it has been very good to know that I could leave the management of the tenancy in their hands without worrying about anything.

Great to start with but then less so

I would rate this a 3.5 stars if I could. Great start with the first estate agent that was assigned to me, called Mark, but once he left I felt I was no longer taken seriously or was as valued as a customer (perhaps as I'm young). I understand there was a changing market but I think a 70k price drop in around 4 months is a bit extreme (from our first buyer which fell through to the second buyer who completed). I believe if Mark was still there we'd have got a better price for the house, but there we go. Pleasant enough staff though and very fast to respond/easy to communicate with.

We sold our house with the excellent Rosemary , she was incredibly helpful, providing advice about the house presentation and price, we were always keept informed when offers came in and feedback from potential buyers, and when the Land registry threw up all manner of things as a direct result of the what seemed like the buyers inexperienced solicitor, which delayed a simple sale into a six month tortuous and costly process , she kept both parties fully informed ,when there were times when we would have happily found another buyer Rosemary helped navigate us to a successful completion, she has the patience of a saint and I would without doubt recommend both Strakers, and Rosemary.

My partner and I wanted to write this review a few months after moving in so we could be calm, collected, and informative. We don’t think our initial frustration would have been helpful in conveying the issues we experienced. ROSEMARY is the WORST estate agent we have ever come across. This is the third property I’ve purchased, and having previously been both a landlord and estate agent, I’ve never met anyone so patronising, demeaning, and inept at their job. From the outset, Rosemary misrepresented the seller’s position and insulted our financial background. It quickly became apparent that she was friends with the sellers and displayed heavy bias in their favour. We understand that agents are paid to act in the seller’s best interest, but they are also legally obliged to be transparent and not mislead the buying party. We entered into the sale expecting a 14-week process, but it ultimately took six months. Throughout this period, Rosemary consistently worked from outdated information and blamed us harshly for missing paperwork or appointments, when, in fact, everything had been completed weeks prior. She frequently blamed us for not being “sympathetic” to the sellers, as it was a "new process" for them, and regularly withheld information and made insulting comments about our situation. Leading up to the move-in day, Rosemary asked if the sellers could remain in our property beyond completion so they wouldn’t feel rushed. She claimed it was our fault for bringing the move-in date forward, after six months! She also failed to relay our refusal to the sellers and told them otherwise. As a result, on move-in day, we collected the keys but were unable to move in because the sellers were still in the property. The office later confirmed that Rosemary had misrepresented the situation. ADAM, a director, told us not to be stressed and that they "didn’t want to get involved", an incredibly irresponsible response, especially with the seller shouting at us. The only support we received that day came from Cody, who was friendly and tried to make the experience more bearable. Since moving to the town, we’ve met four other couples who moved to Corsham within the last three years and experienced similar, avoidable stresses, also due to Rosemary. While I can’t speak on their behalf, all reported feeling belittled, misled, and patronised. That said, not everyone at Strakers behaved this way. Dave (no longer with the company) was respectful, fair, and informative during our initial dealings. Eleanor, who managed the sale, was fantastic, quick to respond and genuinely tried to push things forward. And Cody, again, made a real effort to help at the end of what had been a very difficult process. Ironically, the management team could learn a lot from their staff about how to conduct themselves professionally. In summary: It would be unfair to label Strakers Corsham as a terrible estate agency overall. If you’re a seller, Rosemary may well deliver what you want, as long as it suits her. But if you’re a buyer looking for a fair, efficient, and helpful experience, we strongly recommend being cautious when dealing with her. The agency has many good reviews, but it's important to know that your experience can vary greatly depending on which agent you're assigned.

Fully lived up to the hype.

Heard that it wasn't as good as the hype, however, the hype is REAL. The flatbread with burnt chilli and scallop was a 9.5, the partridge was an 8.5, the Tagilioni was a 9 and then JESUS CHRIST the iberico pork (pluma) was a joke....gave it a 9.7 but it could have been a 10. They do a naughty Japanese slipper cocktail which isn't on the menu but they were happy to make it. Straker popped his head in and around which nice and was super friendly inviting us for a photo. Overall a solid 9.5.

Many thanks to Eleanor, Matt & Rosemary for their efforts in the recent sale of our property in Broughton Gifford, Wiltshire.

Many thanks to Eleanor, Matt & Rosemary for their efforts in the recent sale of our property in Broughton Gifford, Wiltshire. The property had a number of quirks (not least solar panels owned by a 3rd party on the roof) and the sale required a great deal of thought and persistence in bringing matters to a successful conclusion. Not living in the area we particularly valued Matt's weekly visits to ensure everything at the property was OK and also Eleanor's ability to problem solve and keep the sale on track. Thank you once again! James

Buying and Selling was efficient and smooth

The whole team at Strakers in Corsham were incredibly helpful. They efficiently helped us sell our home and purchase another making the process straight forward and as easy as it possibly could be! All the staff were friendly, approachable and patient with all our questions answered and worries minimised! A special thank you to Matt, Cody and Eleanor - although all the staff were amazing. So good we now have them onboard for selling my mother's property too! Can't recommend them enough.
