"Hamptons have been fully managing my rental property and overall i have been pleased with the service. The Maintenance and reactive repair side has been excellent with good communication and efficiency. Mandy D'Orta is very professional, patient when needed and applies common sense to challenging issues which is a breath of fresh air in modern day society. She has been fantastic.The only negative is the yearly inspection report which i understand was undertaken by another member of staff. The report is inaccurate, lacks detail and misses defects. Hamptons have taken this feedback on board with a view of improving."

Best to book Lucy for an inventory check!

I wanted to leave a review for Lucy Howlett, Hamptons Deposit & End of Tenancy Manager, who managed our inventory check-out recently as I was so impressed with Lucy. Some people are just born with skills that are perfectly suited to their profession and Lucy is one of those people - meticulous, organised and fair - Lucy really made us feel that the process was undertaken in a thorough and balanced way. As having both been a landlord in the past and a tenant currently, a professional inventory check is so important for both the landlord and the tenant - and it's really not the place to try and save money by not having one; even a vacant home is full of so many things - most people do not spend their days thinking about the minute detail in kitchens and bathrooms....but Lucy does! For some landlords a professional inventory check could potentially pay for itself and more - for tenants you need to wish your landlord hires Lucy as she picked up so many things in our inventory check that had been missed when we first moved in - even by me! I had spent hours pouring over our initial list but I still missed things. As a tenant you really want someone like Lucy who is focused on the minute detail as it helps with getting as much of your deposit back on exit as possible.One thing I also wanted to mention is that I know that Lucy was in theory being paid for by the landlord - but she was such a great advocate, and very patient, going back and forth between ourselves and our landlord to finalise a few things. She was very professional and brilliant at speaking to our landlord quickly (and got a response almost immediately despite our landlord living in a different hemisphere so I know our landlord must like her!) and she absolutely helped us save money by agreeing to take the time to speak to the landlord on our behalf for things that didn't impact the landlord, but did help us massively, such as working with Mandy from Hamptons to get the landlord's permission for us to collect a small furniture item which had been forgotten in a disused cupboard - which we not only appreciated but helped us avoid a hefty disposal fee. Thanks again Lucy.

Do provide good advice to the landlords especially when they need it.

Not all the Property Managers are responsive. They need reminders to reply. Rotating managers to service the client can be very frustrating. Messy tenants can just leave the unit without anyone checking on the huge damage they have done to the unit. Instructions sent to keep funds is the float is not consistently followed up, causing the landlord to suffer exchange rate difference when money is remitted to the country. And is ok for this kind of practice in Hamptons. NO integrated advice is given to landlord when the latter needs it. It does give landlords the feel to switch to another better service company.

Annabel Onuche

Annabel has been managing my properties in Crouch End for over three years. I live in Australia and being so far away, I couldn't be happier that Annabel takes my and our tenants interests seriously. Communication is just as clear and timely when a lot is required at the properties as when everything is quiet. Annabel has great focus and will prompt me and continue to coordinate various services until the job is done. She is a pleasure to email with and her manner, I believe, also encourages others to do a good job for us. She remembers the idiosyncrasies of the properties from one year to the next and takes care of them, which is kind of amazing. We value Annabel and we value Hamptons for supporting her.

Great service consistently for 5 years

Annabel Onuche has been my property manager for approx 5 years and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She consistently has provided exceptional service to both myself and my tenants. Her efficient manner combined with her excellent knowledge of local tradesmen has given me total confidence as a landlord that any issue will be dealt with promptly and professionally. My experience with Annabel has been instrumental in me letting another property via Hamptons - but on basis that she is my property manager!

Sonsurae- the Best!

Sonsurae has been the very best managing agent since she took over managing my property in December 2023.! She is extremely efficient - quick to respond to email or phone calls, very clear with detail and information and prompt and appropriate follow up and action if and when required. Added to which she is charming and has the most delightful manner. A real pleasure to work with and I have every confidence in her managing the property on my behalf.

An outstanding property manger

Charlie Fleetwood is an outstanding property manager (and we've had a few over the years!). She goes beyond the call of duty in proactively monitoring routine invoices, maintenance issues and providing excellent liaison with the tenants. I always feel she acts in our best interests whilst remaining professional and responsibly representing Hamptons. During our recent exercise moving out the furniture on 17 April for the new tenant, Charlie was very helpful. Specially appreciated when we are not in the country to manage things. Thank you Charlie

Ross, Jake, and the whole team at Hamptons Godalming have been utterly brilliant to deal with. They have been incredibly consultative, personable, approachable and thoughtful throughout our house sale. They made the entire process easy and stress-free. If we had another house to sell, we'd certainly use them again - we couldn't recommend them enough.

Avoid them at all costs

Moving in my rented apartment with this agency in Guildford was very problematic. It took ages for them to fix basic issues in the apartment, and they could not even produced a receipt for professional cleaning which was not clean after the renovation. I had to deal with many agents to be able to get things fixed (blinds, heater, electricals, etc.)Now that I have left the property, I have received a report where I am held responsible for the same issues caused by their suppliers, claiming a receipt for professional cleaning (that they did not provide) or claiming that a fan does not work that was in fact working. They even mentioned the fact that there were some plates left inadvertenly as damage to the apartment.I left the property in perfect conditions after having been there for only four months a half (I left due to the pandemic), even though I paid for more than six. I would not recommend this agency, not only because of their disorganization, their agressive tone but because of the amount of time I have had to spend in getting things done and now in trying to get my deposit back. It is so much stress that it is not worth it!

Really bad experience

They made us wait until the 10th day after our check-out before telling us that £90 would be deducted from our deposit for bags of garden waste to be taken away. There was no proof that we had left this, by the way. I appreciate that the deposit release is most probably the landlord's decision, but in our case the landlord was a 'family friend' of Hamptons and it's hard to believe that they had no influence in this.During our time at their property, there were certain problems that they caused for us but when I asked for compensation at the end, they refused. It's funny how they can keep money from your deposit despite having no proof of the thing they accuse you of, but when it comes to them paying out money for problems they caused, they can get away with it.The biggest problem we had at their property was that there were broken and creaky floorboards above us. This issue caused us massive problems. We rarely had any peace and lost lots of hours of sleep because of it. Hamptons never once offered to do anything about this problem. They didn't even offer to come and listen to it for themselves. They would fix the easy problems but when it came to something more complex like this, they wanted to have nothing to do with it. It was basically 'speak to your neighbours and the council as it's a civil matter', when obviously the problem was with the structure of the building.At the time of writing this, the property we rented for almost 2 years is under offer for close to half a million pounds. To think that the landlord tried to keep £90 from us for something so petty, it's really hard to believe.

Fantastic Service

Hamptons International and specifically Jacob Forster were amazing during our recent house move. We moved just before Christmas so it was a very difficult time of year to line everything up for the move to happen. Jacob Forster was great, he kept the lines of communication going and liaised with all parties to facilitate the move. If it wasn't for Jacob I very much doubt that the move would have gone through in such a timely manner.

Sorting out boiler issue

Just want to say a big thank you to Max Barnes from Hamptons for sorting out our boiler issue so quickly before the holiday season. Max was kind enough to do a video call to try and sort it out as soon as I reported the issue. When this didn’t work, Max helped find a technician to resolve the issue the same afternoon.

We used Hamptons from 2019-2020 for…

We used Hamptons from 2019-2020 for renting a property in Honeybourne, Worcestershire (we were tenants). They were excellent. If there was any issues they were solved promptly and with great communication. At the end of the lease, we employed a poor cleaning company and the property was not handed back in the condition we aspired to. Hamptons staff were great with us. We had been let down by a cleaning 'contractor' but Hamptons ensured the new tenant moved in on time and kept us in the loop as we were (by then) living in France. They employed their own cleaning team.Many thanks to Melanie and all the staff.

Ashley Jeanes Marlborough Area Property Manager

I have been working with Hamptons for the past 7 years. I have worked with many other Estate/Lettings agents prior to this and I have to say none come close to Hamptons in terms of friendliness, professionalism and overall knowledge of their industry.The Residential Lettings department who I deal with daily are always on the ball. I deal with several tenants and landlords every day and hear nothing but praise for all the residential lettings team and especially Ashley Jeanes who is my regular contact and first point of contact for both tenants and landlords when any maintenance issues arise. Nothing is too much trouble and every situation is dealt with swiftly and efficiently which means happy tenants and happy landlords!

Highly professional and polite

Highly professional and politeI used Hamptons Guildford for the sale of my property and it was by far the best experience of selling a property I have had. I had the pleasure of working with Hayley Thorning and Ella Smith. They are both highly professional, incredibly polite and very knowledgeable. Hayley and Ella were exceptional throughout and really helped the whole process along in what was a very difficult housing market. Highly recommended, 5 STAR!

Friendly process let down a little by timescale

Our heating and hot water broke down with a boiler fault. Contacted Hamptons and Max was swift to reply at 8.40am. Engineers were called the same day. I let Hamptons know the problem and the next day the simple repair was approved and fixed the day after that.The only reason I didn't give a 5 is that for such a simple repair it seems unfortunate that the process left us without heating for 60hrs when the cheap and basic part was even in stock with the repairer company 4 miles from the house.Max was exemplary throughout the process but it seemed long-winded for such a simple repair. I'm just grateful the part didn't need ordering. In truth it should and could have been fixed the same day.

I am an approved Hamptons International contractor but also rent a property form Hamptons International. Rebecca at Rickmansworth is an absolute pleasure to work with and is great at solving any problems that arise. I would recommend Hamptons International, and particularly Rebecca, in a flash! As a tenant I know that I am completely satisfied with the service they offer and as a contractor I know that Rebecca and the team do a great job for the landlords that they look after.

Job Well Done

We have recently completed a property sale through the Hamptons International office in Stratford-upon-Avon. During this process Jacob Forster was our Senior Sales Negotiator. The transaction was complex and there were many times when the processes were stalled for a variety of reasons. We were fortunate that Jacob was able to perform under such pressures in a very professional manner which allowed the sale to be finalised within increasingly tight deadlines. Without any doubt, Jacob’s tenacity and his ability to communicate effectively at all levels within the chain, greatly helped the successful completion of the sale.

Bad for tenants and bad for landlords

Listen to the bad reviews and avoid this agency. They are a big messy organisation whose incompetence has consequences for both tenants and landlords.The property I moved in had a damaged window and a damaged balcony door (they can’t be closed, which leaves in cold, dampness, draft, insects (plenty of dead insects near those doors) which is strange considering it’s a new build, high standard property, but anyway. I made an offer on the condition that these be fixed before I move in and this was put in the contract. Not only were the issues not fixed, even though I checked with them every week to get updates, there were other issues too like a missing smoke detector, broken cupboard door, broken tap, leaking sink, etc. But by far the worst issue remain the windows, which can’t be closed and have made the apartment damp, cold, and there’s a strong draft. The engineer who came to have a look again said he told Hamptons about needing to replace the balcony door months ago, which is why I say they’re bad for landlords too. They won’t care about maintaining what was a very nice apartment and have exposed it to all kind of risks like exposure to weather and dampness, the missing smoke detector, etc. I’ve received a lot of conflicting information during my interactions with them, with one person at some point telling me they weren’t aware of any issues with the windows, even though one of their own agents came and got stuck with that balcony door for long after the viewing was over.There was also a lot of confusion about how they handle contracts, where different people gave me different answers, and just an overall frustrating experience. But the issue remains the the windows and balcony door aren’t fixed and the contractor looking into the repair said it would take 6-12 weeks and they haven’t even heard back from the company that needs to send them the parts, then on top of that however long it takes to recondition the apartment and get rid of the damp and cold, is not something any tenant should be expected to have to deal with. 3 months of cold and dampness when this isn’t a low end, old property. I also feel sorry for the landlord because I’m sure he had no part in this and they let his property get into this state. I’ll be looking to end my contract.

Great Property Management Experience

We have had a great experience with Shahena our property manager (as well as Annabel who helped while Shahena was out on leave). They have always been prompt and communicative as things have come up with our flat, but our big test came after the basement of our flat flooded following a big storm where they have done a great job getting it remedied and keeping us updated on the Progress.

I dealt with Amelia at the Windsor office and had a great experience when we had to undergo some major changes before new tenants started. There was lots of communication, and relevant options for us to consider, and it was dealt with well. I did have to fight to get a few of the quotes down to an acceptable minimum, and I was also incorrectly refunded rent on two occasions, but otherwise the service was really good.
