Charlotte at Savills is a star!

We engaged Savills to sell our property in October 2019. We had a number of viewings before the couple who eventually bought our property. It was fraught with problems yet Charlotte established a relationship with our buyers to keep them informed of progress. I truly believe it's Charlotte's determination that kept the sale going despite numerous problems. I can't thank Charlotte enough for her tenacity to keep both me and our buyers informed every step of the way. I never stop singing praises for Savills service and how thorough Charlotte was. Thank you.

I deliberated about moving from another…

I deliberated about moving from another local and high profile estate agent in Maida Vale/Little Venice to Savills, when my property came up for its rental renewal but I am delighted I took the plunge. Luke and his team at Savills have been so attentive to all my needs as well as of those of my new tenants. Sometimes I find estate agents favour the tenants over the landlords, however Savills were well balanced in their recommendations and advice. They were extremely professional in all their dealings and went above and beyond to help us even with some last minute building issues. Luke, in particular, was always easy to get hold of and followed up everything personally to ensure everything ran smoothly. I whole-heartedly recommend them and will continue to use their services in the future. Congrats Savills, job well done!

Absolutely fantastic from start to end

Anna has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. She always went the extra mile in ensuring everything was covered and both myself and the buyers have had a stress free journey thanks to Anna and the whole Savills team. I have never sold a property before and I was incredibly impressed by the level of care and professionalism that Anna always demonstrated, even when I had a few emotional moments! Thank you Anna and everyone at Savills for ensuring my sale was a smooth process and thank you for achieving maximum interest and value for my house sale.

Remarkable customer service

Remarkable customer service! Especially Sam Ing (property manager), who was always quick and efficient when it came to resolving any issue regarding the property. He answered all my queries and questions with great transparency and professionalism, allowing for a very smooth and stress-free tenancy.

Savills manage office nightmare

Savills and Canmoor took over the management of our serviced office building and it's been problems since. They rushed to override all the existing systems and processes and made a complete mess of it. 6 months later we still can't get accurate invoices from them. We've probably wasted a business day of time trying to get accurate paperwork for our accounts and they just can't manage it. If Savills take over your managed office building you're probably going to want to move.UPDATE: Savills: here's the information you've asked for.UPDATE 2: Unfortunately Savills response that they take this seriously is looking like just a marketing ploy as they haven't stepped in to sort it out yet.CENTRE: Witney Business and Innovation Centre.Since Savills took over, we lost the ability to use direct debit and moved backwards to standing order which means we have to change the value manually if the monthly fee changes.Savills aggressively took over and cancelled invoices by the centre we'd already paid and demanded they be repaid using their system causing an unnecessary mess of invoices.Unfortunately as well, they couldn't cope with invoicing and multiple invoices with incorrect information have been sent. Time was wasted correcting these.Confusion was then created around contract changes they were going to mandate. This seems to have gone quiet.They then spelled our email address wrong, so we didn’t receive invoices. We wasted time getting these sent so we could have correct accounts. They said this was fixed. It wasn't.Three months ago we didn't receive invoices again. Savills demanded we continue to pay even though we had no paper trail. They said the problem was that they'd misspelled our email address. They said this was fixed. Again, it wasn't.We said we were cancelling our standing order and we would only pay when we receive an invoice in future. They said we'd be in breach of contract and got quite defensive. We again didn't receive an invoice, so we didn't pay. Savills didn't seem to notice.So we contacted them again. They said the problem was that they'd misspelled our email address. Again, they said this was fixed, maybe it is, but they said they have no way to test it until we get the next invoice.We checked the invoice is for the wrong amount. Again. We asked for a rent reduction to compensate for the time which is now probably two business days of chasing and correcting. They refused.We're now spending time booking appointments with other office companies for an office move and every time we ask to confirm the management company isn't Savills.Such a shame that Savills is making the centre look bad. The centre was exceptionally well managed before Savills came, they really add no value and are just a problem.

PLEASE STAY CLEAR! THEY TAKE YOUR MONEY & LEAVE YOU HOMELESS!!

Please stay clear at all cost or it will cost you BIG time!!This crazy shambolic story is well worth a read. If anybody knows how I can take this further legal wise please let me know - aidantoal955@gmail . com Okay so Myself & two others booked a viewing for a flat in east London. The agents have called on the phone to confirm it has a 2 household share HMO license which is fine works perfectly for us to rent. Went to the viewing, great apartment. Again they double checked if we could rent it & yes no problem license wise. Placed an offer - Landlord accepts it. Happy days!Fast forward to submitting all the docs , all our reference checks have been completed & all good to go. 2 weeks before we move in we give our current landlord our notice we are leaving.2 agents from Savills 33 Margaret Street , London have been dealing with our lease for the new flat. 3 days before moving in Agent has sent over the lease to us. Signed it straight away & paid £4,200 pounds. Get an email of Agent again with a new lease contract saying they have forgotten to put the RPI clause into it. No problem, signed it again straight away. The next morning 48hrs before we move in, get an email saying our document has been cancelled. Presuming it was the first incorrect document they sent we didn't think much of it. I emailed The agent just to confirm it was ok? No response back from her. I was in work so I could only call them on my lunch at 13:00. Called The agent for an update & when are we collecting the keys & she said ' Nobody has been in contact with you? I'm going to make a few calls and will be back to you in 10 mins' Got no call back, its been 50 minutes so I call again & said whats the update? She gave me a number to call & 'he has information for you ' Called that number about 5 times nobody answered. I get onto the phone to The agent again after many attempts of her not answering she finally picks up the phone & wouldn't give me any information. I get a call back from the number The agent has given me & he told us they have cancelled your offer even though it has been accepted , paid for & signed by all 3 tenants saying ' oh it was actually a 1 shared household HMO license' We cannot rent this 3 bedroom flat to you...Didn't get a sorry of anybody, they had no answers for us why this happened as its been discussed number of times. We asked them to apply for the correct license of the council & they wouldn't. We were constantly sending emails to the agents but none of them would reply. We've been promised call backs of seniors & people high above & of course did not get one email or call back. The situation they have left us in is so horrific leaving us homeless in the next couple of days. I have never experienced customer service at this level. Truly shambolic & I can't wrap my head around it they can get away with stuff like this.Money has been refunded but it will take 5 working days to refund & of course the refund was submitted at Lunch time that day not informing us with a email of receipt.. when I am trying to call everyone in their what is happening. I would give these lot a minus 5 star if i could!! Please do not get one of your dummy robots to reply with an email for complaints rather than pass this on & get someone to contact me especially The agents taking £4,200 away from us & then no say a word & leaving us Homeless!!! I am still baffled none of them have been in contact with us after taking £4,200 & knowing we are moving out. Again if anybody has any help out there be much appreciated. Truly shocking service.....

The service provided by Savills Mayfair…

The service provided by Savills Mayfair was exceptional. They were professional, thorough, always attending to queries whilst also friendly and courteous. This, particularly in the context of the challenges presented by the Covid-lockdowns and involving pricing reduction discussions which were all carried out in a respectful manner. Efficient all round.Claire Reynolds, in particular, has exceptional work ethic and professional integrity. She was knowledgable, sensitive and pitched the right tone.Ellen Auletta, her PA, was always helpful, efficient and pleasant, focussed in great detail to take on board and resolve floor plan discrepancies.All in all, Savills performed above expectations from the start to the final completion.

Paige was AMAZING!!

Paige was amazing! She was friendly, patient, kind, flexible, very helpful and understood quickly what we were looking for. There was a specific requirement I had about the flat we wanted and she was so thoughtful about it. Not at any point did I feel pressured to settle for something that I wasn’t sure about. I can’t recommend her enough. She is going to be my go to person- if and when we move ! We love the place! Thank you Paige!!!!

Global Relocation Assistance

The Savills team have been like a family to us after a major global relocation during clvid restrictions. I was able to find a wonderful place to live from Hong Kong and manage the whole move in advance seamlessly. Rebbeca Leigh and her team have looked after all our needs, helped welcome us to the area. Thank you for your professionalism, clear communication and help finding solutions in what has been a very unpredictable period of time.

Absolutely horrendous for tenants to let with

I secured a flat offer to let with savills acting as the agent.Even though I easily passed referencing they still failed my reference because my employer does not have a UK landline number. They did this on the day I was meant to be moving after a week of trying to get help. I was only spoken too by a sirly letting agent. Who was incapable of listening and essentially broke the letting offer and returned my initial holding deposit the day before i was meant to move. Absolutely horrendous. Worst estate agent in London.

Savills Carlisle, Cumbria

After my personal circumstances changed and selling my house I was looking for a property to rent. I found a beautiful rural property for rent by Savills on the outskirts of Brampton, Cumbria and quickly requested a viewing. On the evening of my viewing I was met by Mathew from the Carlisle branch who allowed me to view the property on my own while he waited outside due to Covid restrictions. Mathew was very pleasant, professional and answered all of my questions. I was very impressed with the property which had been redecorated to a quality standard.The next day I contacted the Carlisle Branch to officially give notice of my interest in the property. I spoke with Judith Chambers Rural Lettings Manager) who was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Knowledgeable, personal and enthusiastic she made the experience of applying for the property stress free. Reference checks were completed quickly and efficiently and I was formally offered the tenancy within 5 days of applying by Judith which I accepted. I have since settled into my new home. I cannot recommend Savills Carlisle highly enough and would like to thank Judith and Mathew for their professional and very personal service.

Wonderful experience!

I can't say enough about my wonderful experience working with Savills! Oki was absolutely incredible to work with - super professional, responsive and friendly; I can't imagine going through my apartment search without his help.Everyone at Savills was phenomenal to work with (Alexandra, Melissa and others); their processes are sophisticated and efficient, and because they're the biggest, they have by far the most access to potential properties.If you need a flat in London, I would say to look no further than Savills!

Working with Claire Reynolds

I have just completed the purchase of a property in Connaught Village and had the pleasure of working with Claire Reynolds, a Director of Savills. Claire played a critical role in ensuring that the transaction progressed smoothly, liaising between my Clients and the Seller to discuss and agree various (non-legal) points. As well as always being available and willing to assist, Claire was proactive in a way that some agents are not. Any seller would be fortunate to have Claire representing them and, as a solicitor, I look forward to working with Claire again whenever the opportunity arises.

My review for this business is apparently elsewhere

For some reason the atrocious review I left of savills.co.uk has got detached and attached to Savills PLC which is stated never to have been claimed. You can read it in the reviews for Savills PLC or go via my profile.Incidentally you will see the email address Savills give here ends @savills.com so they are the same business. I did comment that they have no communication skills but luckily they are no longer managing the building I live in.This is my original review:Savills 'manage' the building I live in. Very patchily indeed.The worst things are their communication and attitude to customers. They routinely ignore emails. They even ignore complaints. When I asked for the complaints policy the building manager told me to address complaints to him so I replied that I wanted to complain about him because he had ignored five emails including one headed complaint.If you get a parcel delivered sometimes they tell you, sometimes they don't. Frequently they just send you a warning that they will return it because you haven't collected it. Some of the concierge staff literally have no idea of what they are doing - I was told they were agency staff which is not a reason, they still need to give them an induction.There are damp patches on the walls. The carpets are filthy.There is a deficit this year of 500,000 sterling on the service charge and I am not seeing what it's been spent on.I am eight weeks into my second complaint to head office. The first they ignored half of it. This one they've ignored completely.In all seriousness avoid this company, I can't decide whether they don't give a damn or are genuinely incompetent.Update 21.6.21It is hilarious that Savills asked me to contact them. If they had any clue they would know that I already have, they investigated my complaint atrociously, and ultimately the redress scheme forced them to apologise to me.Avoid them.

Charlie Rogers offers excellent service

Charlie Rogers is very helpful and always responds fast to attend to customers' needs. He helps to secure my tenant's tenancy and help solving tenant's problem at the same time, facilitating my choice of bed frame for the tenants as well as offering options for me to choose. He also helps to liaise with relevant government tax departments to solve my tax problem. All in all, I find Charlie a reliable staff offering excellent customer service. Well done, Charlie!

Adel Viragh-Zsupan

Hello. This is to say that for three years now Adel Viragh-Zsupan has been our coordinator for the rental of The Mount in Whitchurch and both my husband and I have been extremely pleased with her work. Adel has always been on top of everything, being extremely good at reacting quickly in urgent situations. She is a good listener, always trying to do as much as possible to satisfy us and at the same time being very understanding of the tenants’ points of view. Her help has been invaluable to us these past years. Thank you!

Disgraceful company, in particular Jeremy Lamb and Steven Morrish who dispite both myself and my daughter leaving them telephone messages and emails last week regarding a property we are interested in that failed to sell at the January auction, clearly you couldn't care less and failed to contact us to arrange a viewing.

In these Covid times I was not…

In these Covid times I was not expecting the sale of our property to be an easy experience, especially from 1000 miles away. Adam Smith was not only very professional but went way beyond the call of duty. All our paperwork for the buyer and solicitor was in the flat and he painstakingly went through it all for me. He also organised a very competent firm to organise our goods before removals. And he achieved a good price for the flat. A good man to know!

Selling your home is not easy

Selling your home is not easy. No matter how organised and how relaxed we were at the onset, the process is stressful and fraught with unforeseens, but Tom Bedford was the most wonderful agent we could have hoped for. He worked hard to keep both parties on track from the initial offer through to completion. His calm, honest, charming and cheerful demeanour made entire process infinitely easier. We have recommended him to all our family and friends without hesitation.

Claire Reynolds

Claire Reynolds has been in the real estate business for 16 years and loves her job. You can tell - she is extremely good at it and I have never seen her without a big smile. I have been very impressed with her professionalism at every step of selling our family house. At the start of the process we got three different valuations and hers ended up being spot on. She and Savills' PR department worked very hard to present our property in the best possible way - I was very pleased with the listing particulars and our post received over 8,000 likes on Savills instagram account.Claire gave me feedback after every viewing, remained positive and Savills sent regular updates on progress. Claire had a targeted approach - the first viewer through our front door ultimately was our purchaser with her second viewer just as keen but, due to Covid, slightly behind in timing.So many prospective purchaser’s now have buying agents. Claire and her expertise weights the odds in your favour. She also worked to protect us from the inevitable static that can arise in the period between a successful offer and exchange as a result of the purchaser’s surveyor, architect, buyer’s agent and solicitor all trying to get the very best for their client. She is commercially minded and drives the deal forward with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Claire is very supportive and every interaction I have ever had with her ends by her saying “ Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help”. Her recommendations of two conveyancing solicitors (ours had retired to Malta) and a removals firm were all excellent.It goes without saying I cannot recommend Claire highly enough - and will be doing so to all my friends.
