Strakers reviews

Recently I was in need of obtaining a reliable auctioneer to sell 6 acres of land in Purton. Strakers were recommended to me and following my call I was contacted by Charlie Doel. We agreed to meet at the land within the next few days. Charlie was very accommodating and helped me with decisions on auction dates, potential value and the auction process. The land failed to sell at the first auction date, so we agreed to reduce the guide price which I was perfectly happy about. The land sold and the sale completed within 4 weeks of the hammer ‘coming down’. All through the auction process, over several weeks, I was kept in contact with proceedings by Jane Fathers, the auction coordinator. I was delighted with my choice of Strakers

Purchasing a detached three bed

We were purchasing a house that Straker's were selling. Eleanor and the team were always on it, in constant communication to us, and prompt to reply to our emails or let us know what was happening (usually before our solicitor!).

Supreme Strakers

Being a landlord, I have had many professional inter-actions over the years with the Strakers Lettings team who diligently manage my properties. Karen and her team (Nicky, Michele, Nick & Helen) have ALWAYS impressed me by their efficiency, swift response, their clarity of communication and doing exactly what they said they would do, and on time - it is a rarity nowadays!I have also heard how good and caring they are with the many tenants they have on their books - finding that balance of managing each others need and expectations is a real skill - they do it brilliantly.For me its Strakers all the way - Karen has clearly created and embedded a great ethos in her small team who are 100% reliable and wholly professional in all that they do.Thanks so much for looking after my interests (and all my tenants) in a fair and diligent manner.

It’s was a awful experience moving out ,after paying deposit from the beginning of moving in and when I moved out the agent refused to refund my deposit and said it’s wasn’t a deposit but a 50percent of the last rent and still refused to refund til date ,after giving me date and time that a new tenant would move in at the early of my notice and the new tenant move in immediately I move out and never refund my 50 percent deposit I paid from the beginning of renting the accommodation. I was treated badly and ignore and threatened even before my move out . Till now am still traumatized with such horrific experience with your agent of renting an apartment . I just believe is because I was a black that why he did such , because have rented other apartment before moving in here and I wasn’t treated like that and all through my stay I never defaulted in my rent payments even the damage I cause which also caused my injury in the process I was ask to pay and I did without complain but when it’s time to refund my deposit your agent started giving a lot of excuses and ignore so he won’t refund. I don’t believe he treat other race like that because the way he treated me was wrong

First class Agents

Throughout the long process of 14 months to complete our house move, which involved selling our house 3 times, the staff at Strakers went well beyond what might be expected to support us and promote our sale. They always kept us informed of events in our chain and provided helpful advice and guidance when things became difficult. We certainly made the right choice in choosing them to sell our house and are extremely grateful for the exceptional service they gave us.

Strakers manage a property for our daughter’s property while she is abroad.

Strakers manage a property for our daughter who is temporarily living abroad. We have had several main contacts looking after us in the last 5 years and are currently dealing with Danie Brock. All have been outstanding. Danie, in particular, investigates any issue with the tenant promptly and resolves them efficiently and effectively. She shows great initiative, always keeps us well informed and is very professional.

From our initial contact with Strakers

From our initial contact with Strakers, their service has been excellent. When first approached they gave clear advice about the market and selling. When we asked them to put the property on the market, they were able to identify buyers and we had an agreed offer within 48 hours. Various difficulties did arise but we were willing to keep the offer and Strakers supported the potential buyers who have been able to complete the deal now. The staff at Strakers are always welcoming and helpful and whoever is in the office, they are aware of what’s going on regarding the sale. They have managed the sale very well

Excellent experience

As a Church in Swindon we entered into the auction with some trepidation and anxiety that our lot would not reach it's reserve. Indeed it did meet, and hugely exceed, the reserve and we are delighted at the outcome. A very personal and efficient service throughout our discussions and following the auction itself. Would highly recommend Strakers.

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.

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.

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.
