GoogleAgent Ms.Kathyrne Hopkins is very professional and she really helped me to secure a flat for my family. She provided me options and assisted me on what can be done so moving in to the property will be smooth. She answers my queries at her earliest convenience.

GoogleDespite not ending up with a Bourne property, I must appreciate and share how beautiful their customer care and communication is. I had Szymon who showed us 2 properties and kept in consistent communication despite my complicated and constantly changing situation. I could not thank him enough and wish to go with bourne again next time I move due to having such a positive experience with them.

This has genuinely been the worst experience I have ever had with any estate agent. Having been both a homeowner, a landlord and a tenant over the years, I have dealt with plenty of property professionals. I have never experienced a company that has caused this level of unnecessary stress, frustration and conflict.

GoogleWe are really happy with the rental process provided by Bourne Estate Agents. Kathryne is very helpful and reply our queries promptly. When we asked for updated video of the rental place, Kathryne kindly went to extra miles to take and send us an updated video. All the process was done through online including deposit payments as we were outside of UK at that time and everything went smoothly. We were able to secure to rent a nice place which met our requirements even before arriving to UK and was able to start moving in at the requested date after arrival. Thank you!

GoogleRenting a property in UK is not an easy task, especially if you try to do it remotely from abroad, as most agencies do not respond proactively or none at all. Bourne Estate Agents Guildford is different. Five-star service from start to finish; responsive, supportive, catering in details to customer's needs.

GoogleHi,
I wanted to share my experience with Bourne Estate Agents, specifically highlighting the commendable assistance I received from Amy and Kathryne during my recent move to Guildford.
As a first-time renter, I had numerous questions and concerns, and both of them patiently put my mind to ease. Amy was instrumental in organizing the property viewing, ensuring it was a seamless process.
Kathryne took over from there and handled all the necessary due process. She patiently guided me through the process, making sure everything was in order.
I genuinely appreciate Amy's and Kathryne's expertise in their respective roles. Their teamwork ensured a smooth transition into my new place.
I'd like to commend the entire team at Bourne Estate Agents for their commitment to customer service. They were always a call/ email away for all my big and small questions. If you're seeking a straightforward renting experience, I recommend considering them.
I'm leaving a 5-star review for Bourne Estate Agents as a token of my appreciation for their service. Thank you, Amy and Kathryne, for your valuable assistance.
Best regards,
Khushi

GoogleAmy has been in touch over the past few months to alert me when potential properties come to the market and she is such a friendly, efficient and professional Agent I am really impressed with her patience and persistence.
I am quite fussy about my search and she is always helpful and kind, she replies to my emails within the hour and so far she has been notifying me promptly whenever a flat I might be interested in becomes available.
I have dealt with several Estate Agents over the past year and I can certainly recognise professional, dedicated individuals when I come across them.
I truly hope that I will be finally able to find the right place to move into and I will have to thank Amy for that!

GoogleCaitlin, David and the team at Bourne in Guildford were great from the start. They give a personal, comfortable and professional feel to the whole process and I had no problems - they were always there to answer any questions and provide any help. Nothing felt like a problem, even when I was being unorganised and at times useless! They guided me through it all very well.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleBourne are no ordinary estate agents!! Over the course of 9 months they nursed us through 2 buyers, 3 sellers and several potential nervous breakdowns :0) in our attempt to relocate from Guildford to Chester. David and his team were always available via email or phone and advised and supported us through difficult decisions. It sounds cliched but they really did go above and beyond what is expected to get our sale over the line.....for example chasing solicitors further up the chain on their supposed day off. I cannot recommend the Bourne boys enough and will miss them once we move. Their rates are competitive too.

Thank you ever so much for taking the time to write your lovely review. These are standards that we absolutely pride ourselves on as a business, so it really means a lot for you to put them into context. It’s also a huge help that you and Mr Walker have been a pleasure to deal with from the minute we booked the valuation, so I would like to pass thanks to you in that respect. As you know, if there is anyway we can help in the future, be it friends or family in the area, do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards,

READ OUR EXPERIENCE BEFORE YOU USE THEIR SERVICES!
GUILDFORD BRANCH - DEALING WITH AYAH HAYDER
Searching for a property to rent, we came across BOURNE's listing. We moved into a house that over the period of two years of tenancy, required MULTIPLE tradesmen in and out of for counts of issues; we are not picky people, but paying £1650 a month in rent, for a 3 bed semi detached home, you'd think you would at least get a decent property, not a ruin with old carpets.
It was clear that almost no work has been done to the house since it was last on the market, prior to us moving in, and was in a bad state. To the point when we moved out and done a DEEP CLEAN ourselves, the people that came out to check the property have stated multiple times throughout the end of tenancy report with 'Condition IMPROVED'.
We would've gone elsewhere if we wasn't struck on time, rushing into this property, was the worst decision.
From the beginning we requested new carpets, as they were so run down, to be told that they will only replace the carpets for us if we change them for new ones when we leave also...
The whole tenancy, their management of the property was a disgrace.
The issues that arised whilst renting the property, took crazy amounts of time and communication to get anything done or fixed.
Now, being full of joy, thinking we're finally leaving this pigsty, what else can go wrong?...
We finished moving the night before the keys had to be returned, we're respectful tenants, and the property has been IMPROVED over our course of tenancy...
The report backs this up and there is no issues. We'd like our deposit returned...
We are a small working family, all on very low wages, but definitely not the sort of people to expect high quality for little money, or expect a lot at all.
I have been diagnosed with cancer early on this year, and we are struggling even more with me being out of work, leaving just the other 2 to cover all the bills.
So since the property has improved since we have left? We had to expense on the whole move, and a deposit on the new property through LUCKILY a different agency, coming up to a WHOLE MONTH after the report has been made, there is STILL NO SIGN OF OUR DEPOSIT apart from being fobbed off over the phone by Ayah Hayder the so called 'Property Manager' when you honestly couldn't organize a rock to fall off a cliff...
I'm not being difficult, just want what is rightfully ours! And which right now, as anyone else struggling for money, is VITAL for us to even have food on the table! But no, these jokers have been bouncing us around, saying they are waiting on the landlord to confirm and get quotes etc.
QUOTES? For what? Then they mentioned 1 KEY missing. They emailed, last week saying £10.00 will be deducted from our deposit, asking whether we agree?
Not even going to argue, and being given about 20 odd keys upon the move in, there could be a chance a key is missing, so we AGREED to deduct this...
Now they're again messing us about, oh well we have up to 3 months... 3 MONTHS?
Every property we have rented elsewhere, we had it back in a matter of DAYS!
We have left the property BETTER than it was upon moving in.
Where is the issue! You're all conmen that are all good at the talk, and setting the rules 'oh you have to do this in 5 working days' and 'Agree to this in 14 days' and all your BS! But the aftercare is NON EXISTANT!
The experience and stress you are putting on us in unbelivable, I don't know how you sleep at night, fully knowing that there is a family that you have dealt with going without food or heating for the night in another property, getting letters to pay bills etc. WITH THE MONEY YOU'RE HOLDING BACK FROM US.
You really are disgusting, the matters are going to be taken further and for the damage you have done to us by not dealing with this at all showing absolutelty no care for it, it's not about the money anymore, but for people to honestly FIND BETTER than an estate agent like you. I feel sorry for any tenants that are in properties under your disgusting management!
YOU OWE US OVER £1800.00 which right now is more than necessary for us to be able to survive. SORT IT OUT!

Agent replied · 18 June 2024
We are disappointed to see your review post Danca, we have had multiple discussions with you over the period of the tenancy and in the last few days to try and resolve the issue. Throughout your time in the property, we have tried to act in the best interests of both the landlord and yourselves.
Your requests and financial matters have been progressed as fast as possible by our team, however, we have to get the landlords permission before refunding part/all of the deposit. We cannot simply return the deposit if there is ongoing negotiations, this either needs to be settled between the tenant and landlord or will need to be raised with the TDS and a decision made by an impartial party.
As we re-iterated to you again this week, we are trying to progress matters on your behalf as much as possible and will continue to do so until a resolution is reached. We have now returned the un-disputed amount to you with agreement from the landlord and will refund the remaining balance once the final deductions are confirmed.
If you would like to discuss further, then please do give us a call.
