After having a bad experience with an estate agency firm in Cowes, I took the plunge and called Lancasters. From that first phone call to the sale going through, I cannot fault them in any way, shape or form. Every single member of staff were both friendly and professional, along with being extremely knowledgeable. I had been an estate agent myself in the past, so had certain expectations but Ben and Chris surpass all of these. I would go so far to say that a lot of businesses could learn lessons from these two. Don’t hesitate, they are completely unrivalled.
Thank you so much, we love our job and your kind words really mean a lot to us. Ben, Chris & the team x

Appalling service and unethical. Will never sell or buy or rent with this company. This agent sums up everything about awful Estate Agents. Shameful ! Your response to my comment are all lies my partner was never happy with your service and this nothing to do with who she works for. You have been reported to the ASA on a personal basis for misleading advertising and they have confirmed this in writing. We are moving into our own property now and when I sell and buy again I certainly will not go near your company. In fact majority of our friends in Cowes share the same opinion of your company, so lie all you like.
We are sorry you were unsuccessful in your application to rent a property through us. We have a duty of care to our landlords and, as it is their property, they have the final say on whom they wish to accept. Prior to the landlord's decision your partner was was happy with the process (all calls recorded) and was kept fully up to date. You were informed about the landlord's decision, and reasons why, within 48hrs of your application. We wish you both the best of luck in the future, perhaps you might like to consider renting your next property through the estate agency your partner works for. Kind Regards, the Lancasters Team. 28/01/19 Update: Gary, yes you did report the company, and I trust by now you have been informed you they feel our advert was perfectly clear and there is no case to answer. We continue to wish you and your partner well, and again are sorry you (and your friend) feel this way after being unsuccessful in your rental application. All the very best, the Lancasters Team

Excellent experience selling with Lancasters. Were previously on the market with another agent for 6 months. Lancasters sold the property within 4 weeks. One key difference was bring people to the property that were actually interested in it. My previous agent took great pride in arranging many viewings to people who were not in a position to purchase the property. Quality of service is what you get with Lancasters. After sales support was excellent and reduced a lot of stress associated with selling. 6 stars if Google would let me
Thank you Aaron, that is so kind of you to take the time today this. It was lovely working with you. I hope your move goes smoothly next week. Kind Regards, Chris, Imogen, Sarah and the team x

From first meeting with Chris he was positive and helpful, had a great approach towards us and selling our house. Communication was a must for us and all staff kept us upto date with whatsapp group so feedback was instant. Any silly questions we had were answered which meant we didnt need to stress. Great team all round, will definately recommend to any Island residents wanting to sell or rent property.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you Zoe, very kind of you and really appreciated. I hope you are both very happy in your new home - when it comes time to move on from there (hopefully in many years to come) you know where we are. Chris, Ben, Stella & Team x

Thank you Rachel. It was a privilege to help you on your property journey. You were a joy to work with when you purchased your home from us 4 years ago, and great you came back … More

We have been impressed with the service of Lancasters as letting agents for about 12 years. Recently they have helped us to both find a suitable tenanted property for us to purchase and ensured that the transaction proceeded as smoothly as possible in spite of a disappointing level of service from the vendor's Solicitors; we will not hesitate to continue to use them to manage our properties.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
Thank you Ursula, it is a pleasure working with you. Here’s to many more successful and enjoyable years x

The team at Lancasters were absolutely fab in helping us to buy our first home. They were always available and always able to answer our enquiries. They explained everything really clearly and we always knew where we stood and what was needed. I would definitely use them again when we come to sell and would recommend them to our friends and family. Thanks to all the team!
Thank you Jennie & Scott, well done, you have yourselves a great home, can’t wait to see what you do with the place! X

I recently purchased a house through Lancasters in Cowes and cannot recommend them highly enough. I had a very positive experience from the first viewing to completion. All the team were extremely helpful but I have to single out Stella who managed the sale and kept everything ticking along and organised throughout, and who was a voice of calm reassurance on the phone when I needed it! Thank you so much!
Thank you Jane, we super appreciate your lovely thoughts. Thank you, Ben, Stella and the team x

We have recently purchased our family home through Lancaster's and they have provided an excellent service. They have a very professional, friendly and efficient operation. After bad experience with another Island agency Lancaster's have been a breath of fresh air, we will definitely use them for our future transactions and highly recommend them to others.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
Thank you Orry, absolute pleasure to be able to help you and your family. I hope you are very happy in your new home. Ben & the team
3/5
The 3 stars is for Chris who was great to deal with and gave us a lift when we didn't have transport. Ben however was very rude and insulted my wife and I multiple times during a viewing. Quite frankly appalling behaviour and not something we had experienced from any other estate agent during multiple viewings and agents.
5/5
A real pleasure to deal with. Great support from everyone at Lancasters with whom we dealt. From Ben initially showing us round the property and giving us great local insight, to Stella who could not have been more helpful during the purchase. The team is super responsive and very professional. The were always on hand to give advice and reassure.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Thank you Steve, very kind. You've got yourself a great house there, I hope you and the family are very happy there - pop in and say hi when you're passing

I cannot express how happy I have been with the excellent service received from Lancasters. Chris and Stella provided first class service from start to finish. They kept me informed and up to date with proceedings and I really cannot fault them. A fantastic experience from a very professional team. Thank you
Thank you Tania, it was a pleasure. Being a Listed Building, above a commercial premises, and you having had not such a great experience with another agency beforehand all added complexities, but we did it! Loved working with you, see you on the next one!
5/5
The team at Lancasters helped us to find our first home. Right from the start the service we received was knowledgeable, experienced and extremely professional. Throughout the process we were kept up to date, and anything we didn’t understand was explained in an easy friendly manner. We highly recommend the services of this friendly professional team.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I have just purchased a property through Lancasters Estate Agents in Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Right from the very first dealing with them they have been excellent. Good communication, always available to help if required. Cannot praise them enough and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or sell their home.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Thank you Christine
5/5
I cannot believe what a breath of fresh air these agents are. Extremely likeable, communication excellent and quick. Pictures look fantastic and so does the video and drone footage. More agents should adopt this style of operation instead of antiquated stereotypical role. Chris and Ben truly know what they are doing and I have every faith in them to secure a sale. Thankyou Lancasters
5/5
We cannot thank the Lancasters Estate Agents Chris & Stella enough for the professional service that they have provided when purchasing our property, with frequent communication and chasing when our solicitors seemed to be slacking and not giving up to get through. This showed their dedication and commitment to completing our purchase to which we are both very grateful for. We will definitely be using their services again when selling and buying in the future.
5/5
If you are looking for an estate agent who combines professionalism with courtesy, up-to-the-minute knowledge and experience, and 100% determination to do their utmost best for their clients, then you need look no further than Lancasters.
Thank you Louisa, really appreciated, Ben and the team

The whole team are absolutely amazing. The help they gave from viewing to completion was the best I have ever received from an estate agent. Always so friendly and going the extra mile. I will only ever use Lancasters going forward. I can’t thank them enough.
Super kind words Zoe, thank you. Really enjoyed working with you on what I hope will be the first of many! Ben & the team
