TrustpilotWe have been using Hamptons for 11 years
We have been using Hamptons for managing our rental property for 11 years. They are extremely professional especially our Property Manager Gemma Ward. Gemma is always prompt in dealing with Tenants issues on our behalf and keeps us updated on any works/repairs that are needed We feel we can relax about our property knowing it is in her capable hands

TrustpilotSalisbury disappointing
If the Salisbury office functioned in the way we were initially promised, and as the web site and brochures suggest, then our sale would have gone a lot more smoothly and faster.It was shocking to find the first two viewers in the 4 days since listing whisked away to view an off-the-market, discreetly available property before they had returned for their second viewing with us. I gave notice to terminate the contract at that point. I am not paying Hamptons nearly £10,000 to sell someone else’s house.A sale was arranged however the chain involved was not exactly as portrayed to us and this eventually created difficulties and delays.Problems further up the chain are not the responsibility of Hamptons but when these were resolved I phoned and wrote to Hamptons specifically asking for the lower end of the chain to be reconfirmed and checked for completeness. Despite promises that they had I discovered 3 weeks later that emails were sent but not followed up, and we encountered further delays whilst the bottom end of the chain dealt with pre-contract issues that should have been resolved months ago and on one of the many likely days for exchange of contracts renegotiated their price.Hamptons bill was sent to my conveyancer about 10 minutes after exchange of contracts. Good to see they are efficient in some areas if not others.We met some very nice people at Hamptons including one who was really impressive. But Hamptons really need to make sure all their delivery lives up to all their promises.

TrustpilotEllie Marsters is a Property Manager at…
Ellie Marsters is a Property Manager at Hamptons. She is in a league of her own, when it comes to responsiveness, taking accountability to get things done and being engaged with both the tenant and landlord. Having had some experience with other Property Managers in other companies, I would recommend anyone to seek out the services of Ellie at Hamptons.

GoogleHaving just exchanged contracts on the sale of my Grandfathers home I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on my experience in dealing with the staff at Hamptons namely Mel and Scott. I hope that this can be shared with other local people when making the decision of who to market their property with. Wigmore House has been a part of our family for many years, and as you may expect it has been very emotional for all of us involved. I should point out that I work in estate agency myself (as such I am a hard man to impress), and am more than aware of the reputation the industry has, sadly this reputation is often lived up to by companies, but I am happy to say that this was far from the case with Hamptons. Following discussions with three local agents our family decided to appoint Hamptons in the sale of my grandfather’s property. With several family members involved it was a challenging logistical task, but one which was dealt with flawlessly from beginning to end, we definitely made the right decision when instructing Scott. Before the property was even live online I received a call from Mel explaining that they had several interested parties viewing the property, and that one buyer in particular stood out to her. It did not surprise me (although did impress me) with such a clear grasp of her buyers requirements that this interested party resulted in an offer very quickly, this offer was swiftly accepted following excellent negotiation skills, and the property was sold for significantly more than two other agents had advised. It is clear to me that this result was driven purely by Mel’s expertise, and she had pro-actively gone out to find the right buyer for us. Throughout the sales process the communication from Mel was always professional and detailed. There was never a moment where we were not kept informed, and any time a query was raised all the staff in the office were always extremely helpful and friendly. It is refreshing to have such a professional, friendly, and talented person dealing with the transaction, and I am sure that I will not have been the only person to notice this. Mel is a true asset to Hamptons, and I am certain that her career will continue to be a success with the proactive customer orientated service that she delivers. Mel is the complete opposite of a ‘typical estate agent’ she is approachable, professional, and extremely effective at her job. If there is any form of staff member award I would like to recommend Mel for her service during our sale. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Scott and his team at Hamptons, as they have truly lived up to our best expectations. In the modern world customers are often left feeling like a number on a spreadsheet somewhere. Our experience in this sale was far from that, it was clear to me that we were being looked after as individuals, and that the service being provided was of great importance. I would like to sincerely thank everyone involved in the sale of Wigmore House, and wish you all the best. It is unlikely that we will deal with the office again as we live in a different area of the country, but I hope that my recommendation helps other people when making the hugely important choice of who to market your home with. If you instruct Scott and his team I can assure you that your impressions of estate agents will never be the same again.

TrustpilotSo far, no complaints
We have been tenants in a flat managed by Hamptons and have been very happy with the service that they - Ellie Marsters in particular - have provided thus far. Ellie is very responsive, well-organized and professional. Worth saying that we have not gotten to the deposit withdrawal phase, which several reviews complain about. But, so far, so good.

TrustpilotShort-term rental of property
Hamptons managed a 12-month rental of my property whilst I was abroad. From the first meeting with Andrew who visited my property intially, it was a pleasure dealing with them. They were clear, prompt to reply to questions and very helpful on the whole process which put my mind at rest - especially as I was not going to be in the country!The daily management with Minneaux and then Natalie could not have been better and nothing was too much trouble.I thank them for their professional attitude and helpful manner and would recommend their service without hesitation.

TrustpilotProperty management by April Keane
Property management by April Keane, especially towards the end of the tenancy. April has been quick to respond to any queries (often picking up the telephone) and has been very helpful and efficient in resolving some important issues at my flat.

TrustpilotTerrible
Sometimes beautiful flats or houses are in the hands of terrible agents; be careful! As tenants, they only come to you when they need you to do something. You can hardly contact any of them when you are looking for help.The renting agent ghosted after all documentation was done, leaving me a flat with much to fix. When moving out, they were supposed to contact me in advance for at least 24 hours, but most did not. They told me the people I hired for end-of-tenancy cleaning were not professionals (because I wasn't using one of their business partners) and had the inventory clerk go in before the cleaning was done; they allowed people to move around your items when they were doing the viewing.

GoogleRoss Bounds from Hampton's in Dorking was recommended to us by friends who had previously been looking for a property in or around the Dorking area. When it came time for us to sell our house this year (a wing of a large Victorian mansion) Ross was the ideal agent as he understood the particular and peculiar requirements of marketing this type of property. The house went on the market at the beginning of March and within two weeks we had accepted an offer. We were very happy with the service we received.

TrustpilotFantastic service
Fantastic service. At every stage we have had nothing but the best from them. A particular shout out to Trevor Scott. Having moved into the property he has been a fantastic property manager who seems to genuinely care that his clients get the best possible service. Always quick to respond and proactive in addressing any concerns. Couldn’t ask for better service. A world away from previous experiences. Highly recommended

Recently our washing machine broke, which needed to be replaced. There were some follow up issues that needed addressing.We are very happy with our Property Manger Charlie Fleetwood, who addressed the above issues in a professional and timely manner.

GoogleI can highly recommend the sales and negotiating team at Hamptons estate agents Dorking. In particular we had dealings with Annie Mullins who went out of her way to help us successfully secure the purchase of our new home. We would not hesitate to use their services if needed in the future
Thank you for your positive feedback of Hamptons Estate and Letting Agents Dorking. We are so thrilled to hear how happy you are with the service the team provided! We wish you many happy years in your new home!

TrustpilotPersistent harrassment
2-3 years after leaving the property, myself and my former flatmates still receive calls, emails, texts about works to the property, updates etc. Despite multiple complaints and requests for this harassment to stop, yet it continues. They were an absolute disaster when I was in the property with delayed and mismanaged works being the norm. I would strongly urge anyone considering using them to have a look elsewhere, if they can't even update tenant details 2 years after our departure they can hardly be competent?

TrustpilotAmeesha Florant - Hamptons Int
Ameesha Florant has been managing my property for only a few months, however, she has restored my faith in the human population. I am 250 miles form the property and having her on hand, being diligent and available, is a god send.
Thank you for leaving us a review, it is wonderful to hear how helpful Ameesha has been and we look forward to making her aware of your feedback.

Sharon James is a fantastic Lettings Agent. She dealt with an incredibly fast turn around on my property in Hampshire and has now let the same property twice. She goes above and beyond in her service and I could not recommend her nor Hamptons more. Thank you.

TrustpilotTook fees and ran
Hamptons successfully one time rented out our thames riverside home near Windsor. However, once they had their money, the service disappeared. The after sales team is very junior, inexperienced and not able to manage the tenants they place into the high cost home. Our house and furniture was damaged, a deposit refund was due, but Hamptons totally failed to get my damages paid and effectively ran away. Steer clear would be my advice.

TrustpilotHamptons are absolute winners!
Joe and the team at Hamptons have been incredibly responsive and helpful. We moved into our flat in August and there have been a couple issues but Joe has always been on top of them and really responsive. This is our first flat in the UK and we had very little knowledge going in so their assistance has been amazing.

TrustpilotEndless spamming after just one viewing
I’ve booked one viewing with Hamptons and have been spammed ever since. I never signed up for their mailing list, and have repeatedyl unsubscribed but keep receiving their mails. I have even emailed them to request that they remove my details from their data base, and I’ve called, but I simply receive no response or actions. I will be reporting them as this is a GDPR violation.

Hamptons is a friendly and helpful estate agency. I am renting an appartment from them. The post rental support and exceptional. Each time there is a problem with the place, it gets attended to super quickly. Especially Lucy is highly responsive and organises to get things done quickly and also double checks with me to ensure resolution.

TrustpilotNo hot water for 3 weeks!!
No hot water for 3 weeks!!The level of urgency in Hamptons is shambolic. We have been without hot water for 3 weeks now and seem to be no closer to a resolution.Hamptons only hire cheap contractors, who attend your property and leave within 2 minute as they have no clue what they are doing.The level of communication from Hamptons is arguably non existent. All we do is chase and chase and get nowhere.As long as the landlord get their rent paid, nothing else matters. Absolute shambles of a company.
