GoogleWe went to Lancaster’s as we had to sell our house in a set time to not lose another property we wanted to buy. Chris, Ben and the team were brilliant from day 1. They generated over 500,000 views on tik tok of our house before it had been listed, and we had around 12 viewings, with a sale agreed after 11 weeks.
Their social media and publications for our house were next level and we got within £10k of our asking price.
Then Stella kept all the solicitors in toe to close the sale out quickly. You seriously get what you pay for with agents and although Lancaster’s are a little bit more than most, their results offer better value for money. 100% would use and recommend to everyone.

Thank you Ben, a brilliant result, and one you absolutely supported us on.
You were clear on the deadline, committed to the plan and trusted the process, which is exactly how you get the best results. So glad you liked our social media strategy, you are testament to the serious attention it can create.
Huge credit to you for putting your trust in Lancasters. Results like this are why we do what we do.

GoogleI chose Lancasters after feeling let down by my previous agents. Ben had been a perfect agent for a flat I’d viewed, very knowledgeable, straight talking and kind. He and Chris did a great job marketing my property, and the rest of the team continued to work hard on my behalf. Excellent communication over WhatsApp throughout the process, no waiting around for emails to be read and replied to. I highly recommend Lancasters, and am grateful for their support throughout my sale.

Thank you so much Erica.
You handled everything with real clarity and calm after what must have been a very frustrating start with another agent. We were very happy to guide things for you, from strong marketing to keeping everything moving, and clear updates.
Thank you for trusting Lancasters with your sale, and for your lovey recommendation - it genuinely means a lot to the whole team.

GoogleWe had meetings with several estate agents in Cowes before placing our house on the market with Lancasters. As soon as we met Chris we knew that Lancasters would be the best agent and we were right. We were given a realistic valuation and great advice. Lancasters produced a fantastic ad and film for our home and promoted our home on social media. We immediately got many viewings and within 3 weeks we accepted an offer. The whole process from start to finish has been fantastic and we couldn’t recommend Lancasters highly enough. A big thank you to Chris, Stella and all the team at Lancasters for their professional service.

GoogleWhat a refreshing change! No bias or hard pushy sale tactics. Ben has been instrumental in providing advice on complex moving scenarios as well as sharing his informed architectural knowledge of structural building issues. Chris was likewise very informative, knowledgeable and warm when it came to accessing my own sale circumstances. A completely different, and positive experience compared to many of the other island agencies

Ruth, thank you so much for your kind words. Moving home can certainly feel stressful at times, so it means a great deal to hear that Stella, Chris and the team were able to provide the calm guidance and reassurance that helped along the way.
You were brilliant to work with throughout the process, and that always makes such a difference. At Lancasters we believe that clear communication, steady advice and a bit of reassurance when it’s needed most are what help clients move forward with confidence.

GoogleFANTASTIC estate agents, very professional marketing, good communication and feedback at the viewing stage, once the process of sale was commenced the progression manager was always working hard to ascertain what was required and chased up with solicitors as to what stage they were at with the sale then informed me. As a landlord of 24 years I've dealt with many estate agents and rest assured Lancasters you will be in very good hands.
Couldn't recommend enough.
Rob · 13 March 2026
Agent replied · 13 April 2026
Thank you Rob, that really does mean a lot.
With 24 years as a landlord, you’ve seen more than most, so your words carry real weight. You were steady, pragmatic and great to deal with throughout, which always makes a difference when a sale is moving through the legal stages.
Once everything was underway, it was simply a case of keeping momentum, chasing where needed and making sure nothing slipped between the cracks. As you rightly say, good communication and clear feedback are key, especially when solicitors are involved. We see it as our job to guide the process and keep everyone aligned so you are never left wondering what is happening.
We genuinely appreciate the trust you placed in us. If anyone is looking for experienced, proactive Estate Agents on the Isle of Wight, we would be delighted to help in the same way.

GoogleAfter finding out dream home in our dream location we put in an offer and it was accepted. It took a while to complete but that was due to the selling process of our old home. Stella helped advise us on what we needed to be asking of our solicitors (it had been over 20 years ago when we last bought a home)and really helped us despite it not really being her job to. We found Lancaster's are very professional and we would highly recommend them especially Stella.

GoogleAfter being let down by our first buyer (almost at exchange!) Lancasters very quickly found another buyer. They were very efficient and kept us informed as events moved along (better than our solicitors). As we were not able to clear the unwanted contents of the house ourselves, Lancasters kindly did this on our behalf. Very happy with their services and recommend them to everyone looking to move. Thank you.

A little back story,
Lancaster's sold my flat in Ryde and it's recently finally completed last week after 8 months in the selling process. Ben, Chris & Stella are the absolute best and have the perseverance and motivation to complete any challenges that are thrown at them in the sales process. They are all very hardworking, dedicated and show passion to their jobs at Lancaster's and their customer service level is second to none. 👏👏

This is one of our most memorable sales. Firstly because the property has been in your family ownership for 99 years, that’s a record for us! And secondly because it was an opportunity to demonstrate how our marketing process can be successfully applied to other areas around the UK. Thank you for the opportunity and we wish you well in your new home near your family on the Isle of Wight.

GoogleMy experience with Lancasters has been nothing but positive. From day one they have been very pro-active and professional and nothing was too much trouble. The flat they sold for me had some issues and the sale took a lot longer than it should have, but the service I received was perfect from beginning to end. Because of the issues I feel some other agents may have lost interest. I can't praise them highly enough and would recommend them to anyone and I would definitely use them again, if the need arises.

GoogleI registered with Lancasters at the beginning of my property hunting journey when I decided to move over to the Isle of Wight in Sept 2020. Lexi Hollis became my main contact and, despite not actually ending up renting from them due to how dynamic the property market was at the time (and having to come over from the mainland for viewings), I have nothing but praise for my experience with the company and in particular Lexi. She has been transparent, knowledgeable, helpful and supportive throughout my property search process even though I never actually became a client. I would not hesitate to approach them in the future, whether for renting or purchasing. I like this company's ethos, transparency and willingness to go beyond the call of duty. They really care about people, even if not actual clients. They have that special touch. 5 Stars all the way!
