I work alongside many estate agents in my walk of life and these are by far the most professional experienced and enthusiastic I've had the pleasure of dealing with . They show a genuine commitment to getting the job done and getting it done right , I would have no hesitation in putting myself in their capable hands wether buying selling or renting . Keep up the good work I'm sure your team will go far ! Kind regards Kevin Emmerson

Hello ! I recently sold an investment property of mine through Hunter Estate Agent in a somewhat tough market condition in Bishops Auckland, Durham. I was extremely pleased and satisfied with Hunters who helped me along the way, providing with creative ideas and solutions that made all the difference and eventually we got my property sold at slightly less price. The Sales team updated me on a regular basis, were very responsive and got back very promptly when I had any queries. The Conveyancing process was relatively smooth with most of the information provided via their online portal making it easy and quicker. Pleasant Professional experience overall and I am very thankful to team at Hunters for a job well done ! Best Regards, Girish

Rude and unprofessional

I had a viewing arranged and nobody could give me a meeting point for a large apartment building with several entrances. Spent nearly 20 minutes at the location wondering around and trying to reach the person that was supposed to show me around, all calls declined. Office couldn’t get through to her either and when she finally calls me is to rudely tell me off for not showing up at a different entrance when she never told me where to go, speaking to me in an angry tone and then hanging up.

We have taken our flat off the market…

We have taken our flat off the market following 2 failures by the agents in Filey. All seemed well to start with,enthusiastic staff produced good pictures etc. We had a viewing, a few days later we had the good news that the lady was to purchase. 3 weeks later, we were informed that she was indeed NOT buying our flat, but another in our block, still not sure where the responsibility for this lies. The second occasion, we had a second viewing from a few months ago, so were really excited. 5 minutes after the appointment we were informed the gentleman didn't even have his property on the market !! Apparently, we should have stipulated we only wanted people who are in a position to proceed. Never have we heard such stupidity, thought agents sold properties !!??

Electing Not to Evict Violent Tenant which Assaulted Another Tenant with a Knife

I am compelled to write this review to express my deep concern and disappointment with the lack of action taken by Hunters in response to a serious safety incident within one of their managed properties.Recently, I was assaulted by one of their tenants who not only brandished a knife but also forcibly entered my apartment and injured my cat. This shocking and dangerous incident has left me and other residents in the building feeling vulnerable and fearful for our safety.Despite the severity of the situation, and their tenant pleading guilty to assaulting another tenant, the response from Hunters has been shockingly inadequate. Instead of promptly addressing the issue and taking steps to ensure the safety of all residents, the management has refused to evict the responsible tenant. This decision is not only a blatant disregard for the well-being of other residents but also a failure to uphold the basic standards of tenant safety and security.It is deeply disheartening to see a property management company neglect its responsibility to maintain a secure and peaceful living environment. The safety of tenants should be paramount, and it is unacceptable that Hunters is allowing such a threat to persist within the community.Prospective tenants, please be aware of the lack of security and prioritization of tenant safety at properties managed by Hunters. In the face of a serious security breach, the management's inaction speaks volumes about their commitment to the well-being of those who entrust them with their housing needs.I urge Hunters to reconsider their stance and take immediate action to ensure the safety and security of all residents in their managed properties.Michael Ryan

Had Hunters out to value my property…

Had Hunters out to value my property for sale but got really bad vibes from the valuer. Found them to be unprofessional so went with another agency (who were amazing)Unfortunately a property I liked was up with Hunters. Tried to negotiate a deal on the property but the communication through Hunters was not good. I don’t think it was the process rather the person handling it. When negotiating you would expect them to act as professional intermediaries however they were disinterested and as cold as a wet fish. I would have been better dealing directly with the homeowner and we may have been able to make a deal. I left my offer on the table but I have no idea if that was ever passed onto the homeowner. I’m sure there will be some great Hunters branches out there but I’ve not come across one yet. My heart sinks a bit now if I see a property up with Hunters. I just don’t want to deal with them ever for a purchase.Edit.We did end up buying a house through a Hunters branch. Although I did do the deal directly with the homeowner in the first instance we agreed on how to proceed and then we went to the agent. They were actually very good so I guess it’s pot luck which branch you use.

A very fantastic and dedicated family team. Protecting the interest of clients and making sure their clients are satisfied is their priority. They really did a great job with my case, making sure both solicitors involved are working daily on the process. I'm really happy and very satisfied with this lovely team. Thanks to you, Ella, Amber, Ben... I'll appreciatively recommend this estate agents to as many as I can.

Totally disgusted

Totally disgusting practices. This company are selling a detached property next to my home. They say it’s impossible not to include a photograph of the full frontage of my house as well. I requested the photo be cropped or changed. For a few days I regained my privacy but again the original photo has returned and is all over the internet. They say they can’t show their clients garage without my house being in the picture. Absolute garbage as the garage is on the other side of the house being sold not next to my house!!! It’s obvious they are using my home to paint a picture of a nice residential road. It’s 100% possible to take a photo showing the house , driveway and garage of their clients property without including my home. Awful just awful.

Massive thanks to Hunters Brentford

Massive thanks to Hunters Brentford, especially Josh, Vic and Min Sharma who we’re always at the end of the phone to answer our queries and keep us sane through the minefield of selling our property. Josh was especially helpful with his excellent communication, he really owns his job 👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks again to you all.

If I could give a negative score I would

S. YORKS. If I could give a negative score, I would. What an absolute bunch of useless w-----s. As a tenant we, get 6 monthly inspections, not a problem at all. The problem is, they hardly ever do the work needed & when they do, they employ the most r------d & incompetent person possible & the quality of the work is ALWAYS s--t. When you complain, they do nothing about it. For people using them as an agent: they are letting your properties deteriorate while charging you the earth.

This is an outstanding estate agency which has represented me for several years in both sales and lettings. The team is managed by Ella Steadmanlloyd, who is extremely reliable, efficient, communicative and professional in all her dealings. Ella has gone above and beyond to help me as a landlord and a buyer on numerous occasions. Her team's professionalism and commitment to customer service is indicative of her superb leadership. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

After researching the estate agents in our area we invited various agents to give us a valuation. From the start Hunters stood out from the others with Ella's professional and knowledgeable manner. We were kept informed of all viewings and the feedback from the office staff and was surprised at how quick we received an offer on our property. I would certainly recommend Hunters to anybody if you want a first class service. Thank you

Would not reccomend

We bought our house through Hunters. Would wait days for responses to emails, take multiple attempts to get them to pick up the phone and when we did get our new home we found that it was full of an absolute mountain of crap. So much for any due diligence before selling the house? Do they not check that the previous owners leave it in an acceptable state before handing it over?
