Very nearly five stars

I’d have given 5 stars had C&W found a property for me. In the end, I found one through a rival estate agent. But C&W - Libby, Yasmin, and Tracey - couldn’t have been more helpful in my property search, sending details by email and text on a regular basis, following up with phone calls. By far the most engaged estate agent in Southsea.

Just want to give credit where credit is due. We have recently sold our property and have begun our search for our new home without any success so far. I have been in touch with various estate agents who have all been brilliant, however Zak has been outstanding. He has been in contact regularly, checking in for updates and sending any new properties over to us.

Second time buying from C&W. They are fantastic, very personable, accessible, enthusiastic but not pushy and they really really listen to what you are looking for so there is no wasted time or visits. Special shout out to Maddy at the East Grinstead branch who really cleverly matched us up with our new home and supported us throughout the purchase. TEAM MADDY! #PROMOTEMADDY #PAYRISE4MADDY Cailean was pretty brilliant too 😎 #beers4Cailean

Don't use this real agent as their…

Don't use this real agent as their services are very bad. They just sold the property without looking and checking of developer's professionals and ethics to customer and left the buyer to struggle faces the issues after buying the property. I bought the brand new house through Cubitt & west and their developer was not even answering the phones calls, or reply or fix the problem even they agreed. They left the house without any purchase or supplier contact details to contact if you want to do something by yourself. Spoken to real state agent head office and the feedback I have received is this is not their problem if developer is not answering so you have to go to legal but they are not taking any responsibility as a selling agent to select the professional developer or take any action. Buyer is buying the property with their hard-earned money and paying the EMI but this real agent and their unprofessional developer are just a real problem so never recommend to use again.

I had a great experience of interacting with Summer.In my first conversation, Summer was patient enough to understand my requirements and accordingly suggested property listings.Summer was by my side in every step of the way from understanding the requirements, suggesting the properties, arranging the viewings and accompanying me to the viewings. Summer also kept me well informed.Summer stays patient during the viewings allowing enough time to inspect the property and also answers all the queries.I found Summer to be very helpful, enthusiastic and committed to her work.Also a big thank you to Mr. Otto Pagel for giving me invaluable insights. Also Jayde Bose and Richard were very helpful.I hope the buying process goes well & fast.

Whilst we didn't end up buying through Cubitt and West, we found their support in our search really helpful. They were the first estate agent we approached and throughout the 6 months we spent looking they were always so positive and supportive in trying to show us properties that matched our criteria. Matt Talbot was our point of contact and I'd highly recommend him to other clients. He found us a lovely house which ticked all our boxes but unfortunately we were outbid. It was the best property we saw. He was always keen to help us find 'The One.' We will be moving again in a couple of years and intend to go back to Matt/this branch to help with our next search which will hopefully be our forever home. Thank you Matt and the rest of the team for your help and contributions to our search. You were all friendly and professional and felt you were invested in our search and what we were looking for.

Excellent Customer Service

From the moment I contacted C&W, I have been very impressed with the level of service. Thomas was extremely polite and patient. He was very attentive and informative which resulted in me finding the perfect property within a very short timeframe. The important things to me are transparency and efficiency. He excelled on both counts as well as having the ability to make me feel heard and, more importantly, valued.I am pleased to say that this feedback extends to Scott, Katherine and everyone I spoke to at C&W. I am forever grateful to you all. So much so, I have recommended C&W to friends.

My experience with Julie Bramble from Cubitt & West Southsea Estate Agents has been outstanding. From the day my offer on the property was accepted, I received what can only be described as excellent customer service. The contract exchange process became quite strenuous due to a dispute between the seller's and buyer's solicitors, which significantly prolonged and complicated matters. However, Julie Bramble demonstrated her professionalism by diligently following up with all involved parties, showcasing her excellent communication skills. She consistently responded to inquiries promptly and took responsibility right through to the end of the process. Her dedication provided my wife and me with reassurance and optimism. Kudos to Julie for her exceptional service. We are truly grateful. Thank you.

Julie is a Gem!

I cannot recommend Cubitt and West highly enough! They recently helped us navigate an incredibly complex and challenging sales process due to the recent legislation on cladding for flats causing alot of issues. From start to finish, their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were truly exceptional.Despite the difficulties posed by the new regulations, Cubitt and West remained proactive, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire process. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled efficiently and effectively, keeping us informed every step of the way. Their knowledge of the latest legislation and their ability to manage the various stakeholders involved was impressive and gave us great peace of mind.Thanks to their hard work and perseverance, we successfully completed the sale, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for an estate agent who will go the extra mile and provide top-notch service, look no further than Cubit and West. They truly are the best in the business!Harry, Samara, Tracey, Jacki & Julie thank you all for your efforts, we cannot fault you! I would finally like to give a special thank you to Julie who was exemplary in her professionalism and communication!

I couldn't recommend Cubitt and West…

I couldn't recommend Cubitt and West waterlooville any higher. From day one they were all amazing and super helpful. Maddison originally came round to do a valuation and got the ball rolling. She was extremely personal and kind, we sat and had a real conversation rather than being made to feel like just another client. I was given a reasonable timeframe and expectations too rather than being promised anything unrealistic. Nicola and Maddison got to work so fast and the viewings came rolling in. It was a difficult year with interest rates all changing and throwing everything out but i still trusted they'd be able to get the sale completed. Nothing was too much to ask for, they were available for every viewing and got plenty of clients through the door too. After a while they found the perfect buyer and i'd accepted the offer. 10/10 for them both.During the sale process Julie took over and acted as the middleman with myself, the buyer and both solicitors. Again she was very personal and responsive with calls and emails. Any questions i had were dealt with extremely quickly and effectively. It was so reassuring to have someone so proactive during the sale process, i didn't really need to chase anything up because Julie was always on top of it. My entire sale and process was extremely easy and stress free. Second dealing with Cubitt and West and as before i wasn't disappointed. Thanks to you all and possibly others in the background i hadn't dealt with personally. One happy client!

Promised the world before going on the market. That’s where the sloppy work started, given the brochure to sign off. Had to be return 3 times for amendments due to duplicate wording, missing pictures etc., basic work for anyone, but no care or attention to detail.Once the house was on the market and live on the website. Some pictures where over saturated making the house look a dirty, missing pictures and more pictures of the garden than the house.Asked them to amend this, met with a sharp and blunt response over the phone…speak to the manager.They amended this, placed the original pictures online, next to the over saturated pictures. Simple, uncomplicated work for anyone, but seems no one can be bothered to check details and pictures. All in all, a very bad experience of Cubitt and West, talks the talk but does not walk the walk.Would I recommend Cubit and West? No not at all, wasted 8 weeks of my time and money.

My recent purchase of a flat was from start to finish smooth and easy. I took comfort that I was in very capable hands every step of the way and every person I had the pleasure of interacting with demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and commitment to excellence. I would like to thank everyone in the office, particularly Claire, Cailean, and Matt. In the course of my initial property search I viewed several properties and dealt with multiple different estate agents and the service provided by the team at Cubitt & West (East Grinstead) stood out from all the others by a country mile. You most absolutely rock. I look forward to enthusiastically recommending Cubitt & West in the future.

Thank you Julie!

During a very long process due to chain, the sale progressor Julie has been a huge help, keeping me in the loop about what was happening on top of the chain and very supportive with me when I felt like loosing my patience. I would like to thank Julie for her amazing work and also Tracey (sale advisor) when I was searching for houses!

Immediately Dangerous gas findings…

Immediately Dangerous gas findings weeks after their approved contractor’s inspection and no apparent urgency inside 2 weeks to rectify. We would not entrust Cubitt & West with our home again. Gas Safe Register inspected the installation less than five weeks after Cubitt & West’s “approved” contractor attended. Its warning notice recorded a gas escape classified as “Immediately Dangerous” and two appliance entries as “At Risk”. The gas supply was disconnected. Our tenants were left without gas. Even after receiving the findings, Cubitt & West required repeated chasing. The lack of urgency and a clear action plan was unacceptable. The tenancy had already begun badly. Essential arrangements were unfinished, delaying the tenants’ move-in. We were told staff were attending a team meeting while those matters remained unresolved. Their marketing stated: “Do you add Commission onto Repairs & Maintenance? NO”. They subsequently defended receiving contractor referral fees, arguing that these are different from commission added to quotations. In our view, that is misleading. They have refused to answer our request to disclose exactly what they received from this contractor. Their defence of a cleaning quotation included generic internet estimates. We obtained actual alternatives and arranged the work ourselves. When we terminated their appointment, they initially refused to begin handover until disputed fees were paid. They later reversed that position. We consider their handling contrary to The Property Ombudsman’s handover standards. Their complaint response even criticised the length of our correspondence. Proper answers and timely action would have shortened it considerably. I urge other landlords with concerns about inspections arranged through Cubitt & West to contact Gas Safe Register and ask whether a regulatory inspection is appropriate. The gas-safety matter remains with Gas Safe Register, and our service complaints are before The Property Ombudsman. We will update this review when findings are issued

First time buyer/Leashold property

Though I didn’t use John O’Neill at the Cubitt & West branch, Woodingdean to buy or sell a property, he recommended their in-house solicitors and mortgage services. As a first time buyer, his recommendation and guidance was invaluable. Mortgage Matters Direct were totally amazing in securing me a mortgage, a fast and efficient service with great communication throughout. I would highly recommend them. JS Law, the conveyancers recommend by Cubitt and West were also great, Lauryn Parker-Beaton was very patient in taking me through the complexities of buying a leasehold apartment. Though it took a while, she did a good job in getting the property to completion. John’s knowledge and experience of the buying process was also invaluable, as a first-time buyer this was daunting and stressful, he simplified the whole process for me and held my hand the whole way through. I would highly recommend him and his team of experts, thank you John, I couldn’t have done this without you!

If I could score one star I would. I would not recommend this agency. My experience with them was extremely disappointing. They attempted to charge me for defects and damage that were already present before I moved into the property, despite there being photographic evidence showing the condition beforehand. I found the way the matter was handled very frustrating and the overall level of service was poor. Based on my experience, I would not use this agency again.

Final Review

Just wanted to give a final review of our purchase made through Cubitt & West. Zoey & Jaz dealt with the negotiations of our purchase and did everything they could to get us a great deal. We were more than satisfied with their service & would highly recommend them as agents and representatives. Julie Bramble was very hands on with the negotiations and progress of our sale. She was always on hand to speak to and is very knowledgeable in this field. Julie is a credit to the team and I think she does a brilliant job in making everyone feel at ease through the stages. Our purchase has been a whirlwind of emotions and stress but I think it was most definitely not as stressful as it could have been without Julie taking it on and working hard on it. Thank you for everything guys.

Have just bought my first house from Cubitt & West, and have to say the experience has been super positive. Special thanks though goes to Matt, who from the first time I met him was nothing but amazing. Funny, kind, open, honest, calming, so easy to deal with and made me feel comfortable right away! Honestly, he made the scary experience of buying a house so much more enjoyable and is an absolute credit to the team. He will be my first choice if ever I’m in need of an estate agent again - thank you Matt 🌟

We have reached out to Cubitt & West to help us with sales and lettings of property in the East Grinstead area. Claire Mansell at the EG Branch is super helpful and very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to provide an excellent service! I would highly recommend this Estate Agents as being transparent, competitive, super efficient and exceedingly helpful and much of this is due to Claire and her strive for excellence. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Fantastic!

I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from cubit and west southsea. I really liked the WhatsApp messenger service too, makes communication easy. Harry sold our house within a few days, a really friendly and helpful guy. And Julie was there from then onwards, to see it through to completion. She answered all my silly questions in no time at all. Would definitely recommend selling your house through these guys
