Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. We bought our house through Seymour's and, as a buyer, we're really impressed with James. He has been great to deal with and has kept us up to date all the way. We would thoroughly recommend using Seymours- we will if we ever sell!

Do not use Seymours, Worplesdon Road!

Do not use Seymours, Worplesdon Road! This is the advice (as I told the manager at the time) that I got from several people, but I failed to heed it because the current manager told me that the previous manager (with whom he'd worked) had now left the company. I said that I hoped that I'd have the sort of positive experience with them that would mean I could counter their poor reputation. How wrong was I! I had a horrible experience with these agents. When I instructed them the website showed four ex-staff members, but in fact there were only two members of staff throughout my time of advertising my property, in Oct and Nov 2020. No doubt they were over-loaded, but a nearby competitor also had only two members of staff, but at that time were handling three times the number of houses and maintained their good reputation. Seymours were inefficient, unreliable, inaccurate and not to be trusted. As an example of their many failures, during the increased risk and restrictions in Nov due to covid 19, and being in my sixties, I wanted viewings to be sensibly limited (I was doing my own viewings). My property has an unusual boundary at the front which puts off some buyers, so I instructed Seymours to ask anyone interested in viewing, and who was local, to do a drive-by first so that they could properly judge the unusual lay-out, after which a viewing could be booked. The following week Seymours failed to follow this instruction with the three potential viewers who made enquiries, so no viewings were arranged. I subsequently spoke to two of these three, after Seymours and I parted ways following this fiasco. One had never heard back from Seymours (even though I was specifically asking Seymours for contact to be made with them) and the other had a totally inaccurate scenario put to them by Seymours, which had annoyed them at the time. In getting hold of these people I spoke to two local small-time property developers. One said that Seymours were the worst agents in the area and the other said that if ever they were interested in buying a property and it was being sold by Seymours they sighed at the thought of having to deal with that agent and their inefficiencies. As mentioned by another reviewer, it was also clear (by something that the manager said) that they put great pressure on potential viewers to sign up with them, if they haven't yet got their property on the market. I told the manager that I disapproved of that practice.

Hi Lynn,Your feedback is very much appreciated. My name is Steve Darling and I am one of the Partners of the Seymour’s office on Worplesdon Road. I am sorry that you feel the team did not meet the service level that you required to sell your property. This is not the usual level of service I see from this team and it certainly does not match any other feedback we have had recently. Our new manager has made the office one of the best offices in the local area with lots of happy clients, so to hear this type of feedback is concerning and I would obviously like to get to the bottom of it. I will be speaking with my team on this issue and if you have anything further please feel free to contact me at the following email address. steve@seymours-worplesdon.co.ukThank you.

Joke for a letting agent

On moving ahead with our decision to rent a property through Seymours, time was of the essence. We found the back office support staff and process to be poor. Calls would go unanswered and promises of callbacks didn’t happen. Approaching a deadline to give notice or renew on our existing tenancy, we couldn’t rely on Seymours and therefore gave in. An appalling company to communicate with. I should have read Trustpilot reviews before going ahead. The negative reviews are absolutely correct.

Professional yet friendly service

The team were professional yet friendly and empathic. Very easy to deal with. We liked the fact that all the team came to familiarise themselves with the property and introduce themselves to us. Provided feedback on viewings apart from the odd occasion when unable to obtain this from the client. We felt that they were doing there best for us.

Mollymillar · 17 July 2023

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Getting to know the houses and the owners is a really important part of your property journey. Feedback and communication helps simplify the process and makes for a more pleasurable experience for us as well as you, and being empathetic is just a great team being human! Thanks so much, Mollyliller, it's been a pleasure to work with you.

Seymours Horsell are the BEST for buying and selling in Horsell

The staff at Seymours Horsell are amazing. They know the local market very well and are able to price houses appropriately as they are based in the heart of Horsell. They are all friendly, accommodating and pragmatic in their approach to viewings etcThey are very proactive and made my move a more pleasant experience than it could have been.

Claire · 3 August 2023

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Thanks for using us Claire and for the review! We've been in Horsell forever and have a pretty good handle on the area when it comes to buyers and sellers. It's a great place to work and we love the neighborhood.

A very poor letting agent

We have been repeatedly let down and misled. Several times they have insisted on fees being paid when some digging and checking of correspondence has revealed that we were not liable at all. They would appear almost at random after they relisted the property to conduct visits, on one occasion with absolutely no warning. I would rent from them only if I had no other choice, and I would photograph EVERYTHING, record every conversation, and get everything in writing. The only good thing I had to say is that problems were always fixed quickly, but I have recently discovered this was through a contractor! When we reported problems directly we were promised calls back which never happened. A real shame, as the landlord seemed lovely.

A successful sale

Finding a buyer for our property was a challenge for any Estate Agent, but Seymour's achieved plenty of viewings which finally paid off. They always phoned us with feedback after each viewing and we have been extremely happy with their performance.

PATIENCE PAYS.

Over a difficult 9 months during which the house we wished to purchase collapsed, due to the chain breaking twice we were supported by the experienced and professional advice of our Seymour’s Client Relationship Manager - Amy Sandys. The promptness of her responses and information supplied helped my wife and I weather our move thorough difficult times.

James · 18 July 2023

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Thanks James. Sales transactions seem to be taking longer and longer which is why we now have dedicated client relationship managers such as Amy on hand. Don't know what we'd do without her! Pleased it's all gone well and maybe we'll see you again in the future, however long that maybe. Keep well.

Absolutely awful experience

Absolutely awful experience - avoid at all costs.

Rob · 10 September 2025

Agent replied · 22 September 2025

Rob, thank you for your review. We are truly sorry for the experience you’ve had. We can see that we let you down at several points, and we want to acknowledge that openly. The way your sale and potential purchase were handled lacked the clear communication, urgency, and care that you should have received. As a rule our clients should always be prioritised, and in this instance that didn’t happen. The disappointment of not securing the home you expected understandably left a lasting impact, and we recognise that this is at the root of your frustration. The delay in removing your property and sales board only compounded matters, and for that we hold our hands up completely. We’ve been helping people move in this area for over 30 years, and during that time we’ve always believed that our role goes far beyond just selling houses. We live and work in these neighbourhoods ourselves, and we feel a deep responsibility to the people who trust us. Being part of the fabric of the local community means being straight, being accountable, and putting people first. In your case, we fell short of that, and we are genuinely sorry. Your feedback has already been shared across our team and will shape how we train and how we work moving forward. We don’t take lightly the impact our service has on people’s lives, and while we can’t change your experience, we can and will learn from it. Our commitment is, and always has been, to champion the neighbourhoods we work in, to value every person we deal with, and to make moving home a positive journey. We haven’t achieved that here, and it’s a reminder that we must never take the trust of our clients for granted. Once again Rob, we’re very sorry, and we’re grateful you’ve spoken so honestly.

Seymours has worked hard with grace and respect to sell our flat. We thank you!

Seymours have represented our flat extremely well, and have showed their tenacity in trying to sell it in the best way possible. They have communicated efficiently, and made the process, even though it was long, the best it could be.

5 Times

We've used Seymours Horsell for 5 transactions now over several years; as well as all the searching in between. It always feels as though they actually enjoy their jobs and that shines through. They're passionate, knowledgeable and helpful. We wouldn't consider using anyone else - although hopefully we're done moving house now!

Nick · 13 November 2023

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

What lovely comments Nick. We really do enjoy the job but we also enjoy the Horsell neighborhood and all of its people, it feels like an extended family to us and we love to be a part of its success. With that said, we try to share in the property journey with everyone who lives here and we have the motto of "your property partner for life." Knowing that we've shared five of your journeys feels like our motto might come true! Keep well and thank you.

Avoid like the plague!

You couldn't dream up a more incompetent, rude and unprofessional company if you tried. They have absolutely no clue on the market place and pricing, the appear to be trained in providing the post passive aggressive and abusive service they can muster and lack any levels of service and professionalism.

Would Not Recommend Based on My Experience

I’ve had a deeply disappointing experience with Seymour’s, both as a renter and as a prospective buyer. During a property purchase, I later became aware of a serious issue (subsidence) that I believe should have been disclosed much earlier in the process. This left me feeling misled and frustrated.
