Tom was very helpful in all aspect of the purchase. He let us show builders round the house and understood why we wanted to re negotiate the price after the uh restrictive covenant was presented to us. All in all a good experience and nice touch with the candle.

Paul · 9 August 2023

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

It's been my pleasure. As a company, we don't like to think of ourselves as selling houses, but more as moving people on their property journey. The course of that journey is very often different and assisting with builders or dealing with covenants and negotiations is all a part of the rich tapestry. Thanks for using us Paul and thanks for the review.

Landlords & Tenants Avoid

This estate agent is the worst. They constantly make errors, give incorrect advice, and fail to complete inventory reports I've paid for and then get them wrong. They rarely respond with actual answers and require constant chasing. Their legal paperwork is also full of mistakes.They've treated my tenants so poorly that I now deal with them directly. Rent payments, which my tenants pay on time, are held for over 12+ days, clearly to earn extra interest.Avoid this agency at all costs. They're incompetent, unprofessional, and unethical.

Unprofessional and dishonest

As the reviews suggest stay away from this unprofessional ruthless company. They have treated me extremely badly during my 8.5 years of renting with them. Seymours have falsified many things on the check out report toGain money for the rogue landlord who they spend their time sucking up to due to his VIP status.They rented me a property for many years that had an illegal EPC rating of F. Rules came into effect in 2019Stating all rentals needed to have an EPC rating of at least E to be let out. Seymours and the rogue landlord ignored these rules continue to let out the property until they were issued an improvement notice by housing standards by the council to fit new double glazing to improve the property. The most hilarious part is they want £20 to replace a non working doorbell that was broke when their window fitters installed new windows and an NEW FRONT DOOR and took the doorbell of the mains supply so the door could be fitted. I reported it to them and despite this they are hilarious in trying take my whole deposit for ridiculous things such as this including £2 for a lightbulb when the check states there was a missing lightbulb in the first place. Avoid this letting agent please you will regret it for the rest of your life like me.

Seymours are to be slated

So they say to get in contact as a substandard general reply they do to everyone who gives a bad review here but they don’t say how. So I contacted the agent and Angela answers and says she’s will forward it on to a higher person as she can’t answer any questions and of course no one gets back to me before she rudely tells me that she has another call coming in and has to go because time is money with these guys and cuts me off. If you not going to make them money and your an ex tennant then get the hell out of here is there opinion. Don’t use these illegal traders. They deserve to be investigated. They refuse to let anyone see any properties if they are in receipt of universal credit whether working or not. You’re better off trying Bourne or the letting centre or curchods. Much friendlier people.

Professional letting service

I have found Seymours a pleasure to work with during the letting of our property. We managed to secure a tenant above the asking price within a few days of exchanging contracts. The entire team have been professional, courteous and knowledgeable. Special mention to Marta who has been super helpful.

Experience of a prospective buyer…

Experience of a prospective buyer: Seymours have a group of staff who are friendly and good at organising viewings on short notice which fitted around our hectic lifestyle with a young child.As a buyer we did feel though we were not valued at all by Seymour’s. The communication with us through the offering process was really really bad and often the information passed to us was in a inaccurate or hours late. Buying a property in the UK is stressful enough without poor communication from estate agents like Seymour’s.Across two properties we were interested in we found Seymour’s had created long chains (all including Seymour’s properties almost exclusively) which were susceptible to falling through. Limited efforts were made by Seymour’s in the negotiation process with the default position being ‘best and final’ (even with very few interested parties) which I don’t think benefited either buyer or seller as offers then seemed to fall though regularly. I would also suggest best and final rules are more closely observed including deadline for offers. I understand the challenges Seymour’s face but our experiences with them (on life altering decisions) were regularly upsetting and emotionally draining.

Matt · 1 May 2024

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Hello Matt. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, your insights are really valuable to us as they will help us look at our processes. We do have a large market share in the area which is why we often have more than one client involved in a the same chain, equally each client asks that we try to achieve the best price for their property. When there is more than one individual interested, often the best way is to request best and final offers. Clearly an issues can arise where an offer is made and then the individual changes their minds afterwards, which they are entitled to do as every offer and transaction is "subject to contract" by law.In all instances, we have to operate within the laws and regulations, all of which feel archaic at times and we are are a company that lobbies for change. Every person in a transaction, be they a buyer or a seller is really important to us. Experiences that are upsetting or emotionally draining are a concern and ones that we try our best to eliminate wherever we can.

Seymours has played a major role in helping us to achieve a successful house sale following our dreadful experience with another local agency which was very rude and lacking professionalism.We were extremely disappointed with this first agent who wasted 2 precious months during the summer time where the house market price was at its best to sell our property. This left us sceptic as to being able to trust another agent again. That was until we contacted Mark (Seymours) who managed to convince us to give it a try again with his agency appreciating that he and his team had also managed to sell successfully another house in our same street with a neighbour we knew quite well. We are forever grateful for Mark’s support who has shown a high level of expertise and professionalism during the time our property was on sale on the market. He played an important role in providing an accurate and realistic valuation of our property and in reinsuring us about the unique opportunity we had before the winter came, at a time where we were dealing with multiple personal challenges in our life. We would also like to thank his team and more specifically Simon, Alan, Billy, Gary and Sahil who also helped by maintaining a smooth communication during the entire process. They were extremely professional, very kind and their approach were smooth, removing any ambiguities and/or misunderstandings during the entire process. I have no hesitation in recommending Seymours to anyone hoping to sale their property successfully. Thank you again to all the Seymours team for all their help and commitment. We wish you all a great year 2023 filled with more happy clients like us.

There's so much more to just buying, selling and renting. The never ending trail of paperwork that's required is often a minefield when you're not used to it. We're here to help with every little detail as long as it makes the whole property journey as enjoyable as possible. Thanks Angel.

Go Elsewhere

Slow communication with us as well as communication within their own office - don't blame it on the international factor, that should not have been an issue, especially since you said you deal with international customers all the time. Typos in communication via email as well as on printed property brochures as well as online listing. This is a huge negative and extremely unprofessional. And, still typos in email correspondence after complaining about it. Again, not professional at all for those kinds of typos. Recommended a horrible solicitor but then only recommended a slightly less horrible one after that, but they didnt seem very concerned with our solicitor issues because at that point, they had already made the sale. On that note, I could have and should have used a private solicitor. Would not use Seymour's again.

Judy · 9 January 2024

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Thank you for the feedback Judy. The communication delays and typos are certainly not reflective of our standards, and we are actively addressing these aspects to enhance our service.Regarding the solicitor recommendations, we acknowledge your concerns. Your experience and comment are invaluable, and we are committed to learning and improving.

Quick introduction of good potential buyers.

Nick visited in February when we still had a tenant and the flat was quite tatty. Three months later, after a refurb, he came round and revised the estimate upwards to reflect the improvements. In the event, we had four viewings in five days and got an offer in excess of the new valuation.Well done indeed. Sale not done and dusted yet but full expectations of a prompt and successful completion.

Stewart · 24 June 2024

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Thank you for sharing your experience Stewart! We're glad Nick was able to provide an updated estimate that reflected the improvements. It's fantastic to hear that you had such a quick response with multiple viewings and an offer above the new valuation. We're optimistic about a smooth and successful completion as well. Well done indeed!
