GoogleExceptional service from Wills and Smerdon over our 5-year tenancy in Woking! Sara and her team were consistently prompt, friendly, and considerate in all our interactions. Their responsiveness made renting stress-free.
Special mention to Andrew, who tackled any maintenance issues efficiently and always with a smile and to our wonderful landlord as well - their commitment to our comfort was evident throughout our stay.
After half a decade with Wills and Smerdon, we can't recommend them highly enough. If you're looking for a reliable, professional, and genuinely caring letting agency in the area, look no further. The perfect trio of agency, maintenance team, and landlord made our renting experience smooth and hassle free both before, during, and at the end of tenancy as we moved on to purchase our first home. Five stars well deserved!

GoogleBefore purchasing a house, I rented several properties, and I can confidently say that Wills and Smerdon stand out among all the estate agents I’ve dealt with. During our five years in Woking, they provided an outstanding service. Sara and the team were always prompt in responding and quick to assist with any issues. Andrew was exceptional in attending to repairs and replacements, always arriving with a friendly and helpful attitude. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

GoogleSara and the team were absolutely wonderful to work with. We moved from the US so naturally it was a bit complex, but she helped guide us through the entire letting process from start to finish. Her patience, kindness and professionalism was very much appreciated - would highly recommend!

GoogleWills and Smerdon in East Horsley are outstanding Estate Agents who can be completely trusted. As a Guildford IFA, I have found them exemplary in their efficiency, honesty and customer care. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Having used them personally , I experienced the same treatment.
James Harper and his team , especially Grant Lonnon, are commended to you.

TrustpilotWills & Smerdon are not a good choice
Ms Grey, letting dept, failed to serve tenant notice on time ; earlier, she had not informed us about the dilapidation caused by that tenant; she boasted he was from a very good family (?) as if someone's origin would justify damaging a property. Mr Lonnon, sales dept, under no pressure from us, made an unrealistic property evaluation, contributing to the impossibility of a sale in an already very difficult market. My advice? STAY AWAY from Wills and Smerdon

GoogleWe have just completed the sale of our house through
Wills & Smerdon. The process was difficult and protracted which reflected the prevailing market conditions. However throughout the process we received good advice on pricing and market conditions together regular progress reports. The service we received from all the W&S staff in the Horsley office and particularly Chloe was excellent.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe sold through W&S, start to finish a professional service: initial meeting, valuation, brochures and general communications are good. Grant and Chloe were especially good.
Really did push the process through once the chain was complete and neared completion.
We were not the easiest clients to deal with, but no request was too much.
We would instruct W&S again if we sold another property.

GoogleWe have used Wills & Smerdon estate agents in East Horsley for over five years now to be our letting agents. We have always found them extremely efficient and easy to deal with. They are most helpful and will go to extra efforts for their clients which is rare these days. When we first started renting our flat it was very daunting, but with the help of Sara and her team it all was made effortless and she found us a fantastic tenant who has been in the property now for five years. Cannot recommend them highly enough.

GoogleFor almost three decades I have had the pleasure of transacting many property deals through James Harper and during the last 5 years I have used Wills & Smerdon on the rental side. Sara, in particular, is an absolute asset to the agency and her professionalism and good natured personality combined, makes for a trustworthy and amicable business relationship.
In short, James and his team go above and beyond what I have ever experienced with other agents and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

GoogleWhen our father passed away, my sister and I approached Wills and Smerdon to put his flat on the market.
James was our first point of contact and he demonstrated great sensitivity at what was a difficult time for us and also gave us very good and helpful advice. Once a buyer had been found Grant was our main liaison and he has maintained excellent communication regarding the progress of the sale. We have been kept in the loop throughout and I am happy to say have just exchanged contracts. The whole team at Wills and Smerdon have restored our faith in estate agents, we found that they were always willing to go that extra mile and are a credit to their profession.
