Transparent, Professional, and Responsive

Zoe and the Savills team helped make our relocation from the US an absolute breeze. They were so responsive and transparent throughout the entire process, and provided so much useful information from the outset for what we could anticipate throughout the letting process and getting moved into our flat. The team was very helpful in navigating our first experience with renting a flat in the UK, and they were very flexible about accepting alternative documentation for ex-pats who didn't yet have records in the UK. The icing on the cake is that we absolutely love our flat -- it's much nicer and larger than we would have ever imagined a flat in Zone 1/2 could be. We would absolutely recommend working with the Savills team.

Simply the best

If you are looking for a direct, professional and legitimate company to help you find the perfect property, Saville's is truly the only way to go. Specifically, Mark Fell goes above and beyond. The amount of time and energy I wasted trying to work with other letting agencies still haunts me to this day. I should have just called Mark sooner, but at least I ultimately did. He found a dream property for me within a week and was smart, professional and quick to get paperwork figured quickly and with little headache. He was courteous and kind, and I felt I could trust him with my inquiries and with the weight of ultimately finding a home to live in. A wonderful, easy and stress-free letting experience with an incredible agent.

Bidding wars

This company uses biding wars to pit potential tenants against one another, its such a morally bankrupt thing to do. They will likely excuse this as common practice rather than feel the deep shame that they should feel on an individual level and collectively

Useless

Having failed to sell our house for the 2nd time, they then went and demanded part of the sales fee from an agent that then did sell it to one of Savills viewers the first weekend the house was relaunched. They relied on their Terms of Business to extract some money of the agent who actually worked effectively to sell the property. The buyers themselves refused to deal with Savills after the first viewing. Also lots of 'positive' viewings that we then heard nothing back from the viewers - ok not always the agents faults but vet your clients first - especially in COVID times when its not ideal having a bunch of time wasters seeing your property. Would never buy or sell through this form again. One word to some them up - Useless.

Sophie Candlin is all I have to say.

Brilliant service received by Sophie Candlin, she was process driven, prompt and my vocabulary is too limited to express the joy of dealing with Sophie when on search for our ideal home. I work in a demanding environment of luxury also supplying service and if Savills don't acknowledge her talent then, she will always have a managerial role with me! as I had dealt with many agents whilst on my search prior to Sophie and they are no match! Thank you for all your help and continued help even since moving into our new place.

Kone lift told me that de take 3 weeks for repairs lift. I am living in the 5 th floor. It is difficult to go up and down. The stair is very small , as sneakers. I called to savillis , he said to me. We can’t help to you because this product for lift is not coming about 3 weeks. Don’t call again here. They just want to rent apartment but nothing is working here. This company isn’t good enough for me.

Absolutely shocking service

Absolutely shocking service. My husband and I finally found our dream home. I phoned the Savills office to arrange a viewing to be turned away due to alot of interest in the property and already over 20 viewings arranged. I phoned again a week later as the property was still listed on the market. I was then told that they have over 60 viewings and that they were waiting for offers. Very disappointed in this estate agent as we are fully prepared to commit and are now having to search all over again. Don't waste your time on this estate estate, total waste of time.

I have been putting this off because I…

I have been putting this off because I have always hated to complain as I have been worried about repercussions, and used to be an optimistic and reasonable person. However, given recent events I just want to highlight that people should be very cautious when thinking about using this company. The horrendous racial abuse written by one of their employees epitomizes the whole bullying culture. It won't let me give zero stars or I would. We have gone through absolute hell dealing with this company for two years. In that time we have been lied to, fobbed off, bullied, threatened, and generally treated like utter morons. Due to their continued lack of communication and intimidation they have destroyed our business, our mental health, and almost destroyed our relationship as a consequence. I am well aware that the individuals we have dealt with don't give a stuff about our lives and have come to believe that they would probably be quite relieved if we both dropped dead from stress or committed suicide. Problem solved. Please don't bother with the generic ' we take complaints seriously' rubbish because you really don't, therefore it's rather pointless contacting you. I could say a lot more but due to my mental state I just cannot be bothered.

FIRST CLASS SERVICE

I cannot say how pleased i am with the service from Suzanne James , during covid it was a very tough time to sell our house , but she was so supportive and understanding . The quality of our leads were excellent , this was down to Suzanne being very careful who she would let view our house , she does not allow anyone to waste a sellers time as she completely understands the effort that goes into getting the house ready for viewings. Moving home is very stressful and i hope to not go through it again , if we did move again we would only deal with Savilles , an amazing estate agency with first class service . If you like honest , straight talking and experience service speak to Suzanne James .

Does Savills really have a proper customer service?

To update my review published in here on 19 May, the below is response 3 June from the company, it is robotic answer, but in fact from a real person called Jo.'We are very sorry that we fell short of your expectations, and this has been escalated with management to ensure that this delay in communication will not happen again.Once again, we do apologise for this frustration, and do appreciate you raising this so we can improve."Does it help, obviously a NO.It is not about delay in communication as Jo claimed, it is that they failed to turn up for the scheduled appointment without notification and then ignored my emails until I raised my complaint.I am speechless now! I have to address this to their CEO to find out how this has been escalated with management as Jo claimed and what actions have been put in place? I doubt.

No property management and very unprofessional

Well, Where Can I start...Since my contract signature, it has been consistent issues and absolutely no action on their side- 9 months after moving I'm still waiting for an updated version of my Check-in. - Savills agent refuses to give access to my electricity cupboard for months for me to check the numbers in Checkin documents. - Savills started the cupboard reparation that never been finished leaving residents of the building accessing an electricity facility to everyone including children living in the building. - Savills doesn’t manage their property with due diligence.

Awful experience with this Company

Awful experience with this Company. I contacted them through the chat, very friendly, told me someone will be in contact, of course they never did. Contacted them again and was told the same thing but this time Jan Losch contacted me, went through details and made an appointment. This person never turned up. I contacted again and he said he was busy and apologised. He arranged another appointment and to my surprise actually showed up to review my commercial properties. Then nothing. I had to chase them up yet again and they said... We are not interested. Useless time wasting organisation. AVOID.I do not see any point in wasting any more of time.

I would avoid if thinking of letting through them, they only care about the landlord, tell lies and totally screw you over. After a 39 page inventory of an unfurnished bungalow by a very rude inventory Clark and leaving it better/cleaner than when we moved in they still thought it was acceptable to deduct £100 for x2 missing sink plugs ( £2 each from Screwfix and not re hanging some cheap curtains back up. It’s about time people stopped treating good tenants like second class citizens just because we choose to rent !!!!!

Charlotte and Lauren were very professional, informative and always at hand to provide the most suited advice. We rented our house through them to fantastic tenants moving over from South Africa. We would keenly recommend Charlotte and her team as we can safely say that they are best in class, especially at a time where market might seem to be stuttering a bit. It is a real pleasure dealing with them.

Extremely professional

Savilles were extremely professional in selling my house and achieved more money than I thought was possible. When the sell was in jeopardy through incompetent solicitors, Matthew stepped in and helped save the day. Would recommend 100%

I had thought to rent a built to rent…

I had thought to rent a built to rent property in The Highline in East london from them thinking they would be extremely professional but the results were opposite. After moving out 13 months later and using their property they sent massive bill in the lieu of cleaning charges when this was challenged and asked for my rights for dispute with TDP , they reassessed the charge and made it almost double now claiming damages for other issues which apparently weren't issues at all. For example claiming for paint charges when there was no wall damage at all, carpet cleaning when this had been left in good state and as handed over to us, cleaning fee when the whole property was cleaned by us. They asked this needs to be deep cleaned which is contrary to what agreement states. They even asked to replace the whole coffee table for small spots, now imagine after 13 months of usage (I should say accelerated depreciation due to stay at home) how fair is to claim for a small spots on the coffee table. Even the TDP rules says this has to be compensatory and not replacement. Clear violation of rules.Surely I will be pursuing the case further but this is also a harassment issue which has to be dealt properly.

Don’t rent off them, they’ll try and take as much money off you as possible.

My flatmate and I moved into a 2 bedroom property owned by Savills. We have recently moved out of the flat 3 weeks ago and began receiving emails regarding the atrocious bill they expect us to pay them. They notified us that the flat needed to be professionally cleaned prior to moving out, which was understandable so we had it cleaned. The flat was left cleaned and in great condition, they had no reason to charge us a huge cleaning bill of £336.Furthermore, they have charged us an extra £212 for the keys being handed in 48 hours late. I had moved out of the property more than a week before our specified move out date and thought I had been in contact with someone who had Covid-19. In order to follow government guidelines and not spread the virus, I waited until I got my results (which were negative) before I could give them my keys. Due to the fact the keys were handed in 2 days late, they felt it was appropriate to also charge us the late key fee, 2 days worth of rent, 2 days of furniture and 2 days of utilities even though no one was living there?! They had entered the property on the same day we moved out to check that everything was okay. They then spent the following day taking inventory, many photos of the property and cleaning it again (even though it was left clean) which means they were very aware no one was living there. Do not ever rent off of this letting agency, they really try to steal as much money as they can.

2.5 stars - caution to buyers

2.5 stars. We recently bought a house through Savills. The service was efficient the agent responsive and helpful. However, (and this was true of most agents) the agents do not seem to have much knowledge about the houses they are selling. The valuation service seemed superficial with little effort to engage the seller on defects (or more general details) of the property. For example, on purchasing the house, several highly expensive repairs needed to be made immediately, without which the house would be very difficult to function in. These are defects that a buyer could not have known without, for example, taking a shower and testing all the keys & doors in the house before exchange of contracts. Such details should have been disclosed in an interview with the previous occupants and factored into valuation. As such, I do not feel they fulfilled their responsibilities adequately as a company.
