Matt Orchard was a super star from start to finish with selling our house. Always kept us updated through out the process and was very professionally. Would most definitely sell through Savills again.
Thanks Emma, I really appreciate your review and it was a pleasure working with you. Wishing you all the best.Regards,Matt

TrustpilotIssues with Deposit Return
The experience was smooth until it came time to return the deposit. Currently, I am waiting for a substantial deposit to be refunded. Unfortunately, the original account used for the deposit has been closed, and they are refusing to return the funds. I have been advised to seek legal assistance to obtain permission for the deposit to be transferred to another account, which will incur additional costs for me. From my perspective, it appears that they are deliberately trying to retain the deposit.

TrustpilotDreadful management
I moved in the Heart building a year ago (Walton on Thames). In June we had a shortage of water and the pumps that delivers water to the flats broke. One of them turned functional again after few days, so water was back, but for nearly 4 months we had the other water pump waking us up at night without knowing why or when it would get fixed. We asked multiple times, no replies, we said we wanted to file a formal complain, we have been ignored. The service charge for this building is insane, and yet we had to deal with this for the longest time. Absolutely dreadful.
We are very sorry to hear of your experience, and would like to ensure we provide a resolution for you as soon as possible. Could you please email further detail as well as your contact information to socialmedia@savills.com so we can investigate?

TrustpilotHorrendous Service
Terrible service - we have moved into a flat managed by Savills, and we have had nothing but headaches during the entire process. Firstly, the referencing process is terrible, we ended up missing our move in date by a week, but were told they could not change the date we started paying rent from to reflect this, despite none of the delays being our fault. They even asked me for my birth certificate the night before we about to make a 6 hour drive to move in - AFTER we had paid the deposit and first months rent, why not ask for this before hand?? So we didn't know if we were able to collect the keys or not the next day - causing much stress after we had already packed up our house. We arrived on a Saturday, and had to get the keys from a security guard - which was fine however despite being told multiple times we would be emailed a Welcome Pack, we did not receive this until 24 hours after moving into the property, meaning we had no idea how to turn on essentials such as heating and hot water as this was not straightforward. We also were not able to access the meter reading at all to setup our energy accounts. To sum up, service is horrendous, painfully slow and you will be waiting hours if not days for a response, and every time you call to chase they say someone will get back to you that day, but they never do. Savills have caused us a great amount of stress and difficulty during our entire moving process.
We are very sorry to hear of your experience, and would like to find out more so we can investigate. Please email further detail to socialmedia@savills.com.

TrustpilotNo accountability
No accountability, sloppy & Rude. Experience over the years with Savills. When looking to buy, they develop an opinion of you when you walk through the door. Be sure to wear a suit and stick a spoon in your mouth. When viewing a property make sure you can work around their agenda and remind them to bring the keys. The letting experience is horrendous. We have watched people come and go here. Noone is inducted with the correct information, they just leave people to it expecting other residents to help out. If you complain you are seen as a major irritation. How can anyone stay in business with this attitude! Their staff need training from top to bottom. Complaints Team, please do not recommend I contact you. We have spoken in the past, your complaints procedure is ineffective. In itself encourages bad behaviour from top to bottom of the organisation.

TrustpilotTerrible estate agent who rather wait…
Terrible estate agent who rather wait until tomorrow when being told that there is potential smoke, water leakage and lack of hot water in the building for many residents. Imagine being told these things from a resident and then communicate that they need to wait until tomorrow?! What is even the point of an out of hours line then?! Before that they were not able to fix a door and thank good that nobody needed an ambulance ik case of emergency because that would really make the newspapers. I am not even sure where you would find such an useless bunch of people in this day and age. Being paid to do a job that they can not even do properly and one can not bother visit the estate via a short tube ride?
We are very sorry to hear this and would like to find out more. If you'd like, please email further detail to socialmedia@savills.com so we can investigate.

TrustpilotAWFUL ESTATE AGENCY, POOR SERVICE, BAD FOR TENANTS AND LANDLORDS.
Have rented from a number of different landlords, agency's, and reps over the years. This was by far the worst experience I have had. Savills were awful from start to finish, from the effort they actually put in to sell the property on the landlords behalf, to how to they dealt with requests or reports of issues throughout the tenancy or lastly how they have dealt with the ending of the tenancy. All of the staff members are rude and treat you with little respect. There have been lies and manipulation from them to ensure they can get the most out of every transaction. They have also been incredibly slow to return the deposit, 7 weeks and still no sign, when we have enquired about this we have been treated as if we are rude to ask where our money is. AWFUL ESTATE AGENCY, POOR SERVICE, BAD FOR TENANTS AND LANDLORDS.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please be assured that your feedback is invaluable. We’d welcome the opportunity to investigate further so, if you’d like to please email details to socialmedia@savills.com.

TrustpilotHelpful and professional
My experience with Savills was very positive and everything went well. I was in contact with Jess Exley, who was very helpful, supportive and answered all my questions. My case was a bit difficult, as I was about to move to the UK from abroad and was not familiar with the processes. She explained everything in detail and was responding to me quickly and in a professional manner. I felt that I can trust her and this made the moving out process smoother for me. I definitely recommend her!
Thank you so much for your kind words, it's great to hear that we made things that bit easier for you and it was a pleasure to be able to help.Regards,Jess

We had an unfortunate situation with a person who was renting our flat. All looked bleak and costly to us. However dealing with Philip Theodorou from Savills helped greatly to manage the situation and reduce our costs and have a better conclusion with this challenging situation.
Thank you so much for your review, Sakis. It's much appreciated. If you need anything further please don’t hesitate to contact us.

As property Management at the courtyard Brighton they are 1/5. The cleaner has gone awol as I have people looking for them. No wonder they are billion pound company. I put them on par with clarion housing. Non existent. Long as dough hits there accounts they don’t care.
Thank you for raising this, we would like to investigate and provide a resolution to the cleaning issue. Please email full address and any other information to socialmedia@savills.com so we can look into.

TrustpilotEllis
I have been an extremely lucky person to have had Ellis at the knutsford office helping me through a very stressful time with our purchase of 7 Millbank Close she has always and still is pleasant and very informative every time I have spoken to her.. moving house is very stressful and it certainly has for us as we have lived in our present house 50 years but Ellis always put my mind at rest as our sale had lots of delays. So thank you Ellis your a star. Ann vickers

TrustpilotSavills' customers satisfied
Savills have been very supportive in managing the sale of our property, and particularly in keeping the chain of sales in place with all of us moving forward. Their marketing advice was first-rate and promotional literature was produced rapidly and to an excellent standard. They arranged and supported an ambitious programme of viewings which resulted quickly in a successful sale. In the ensuing pre-contract period we have valued highly their continued expert advice. They have provided a comprehensive service which we would recommend highly.
Thank you, it was our pleasure. We know that selling a house can be a difficult time so it’s great to hear that we made it that little bit smoother for you. We wish you all the best for the future.Regards,Savills
