We would not hesitate to recommend Savills. Fiona, Sandra and Alicja were professional and efficient throughout. They provided an excellent service and advice, and made the sale of our property go smoothly and stress free.We would certainly use Savills again in the future.

Alexa Butler was SO helpful

Alexa Butler was SO helpful. Imogen was an amazing point of contact and so helpful with quickly finding me properties to view. Alexa, who handled the viewings and the paperwork, was so quick, patient, and knowledgeable. I'm sure my 4 day turn around for my move wasn't easy, and Alexa handled it like a pro.

Harriet Davis is so professional, constructive and positive. She also emotionally intelligent and understood the emotive impact of the process on us.

The estate agent, wonderful Harriet Davies was really positive and constructive.

Very rude

Very rude. They think people are below them and treat everyone with a weird sense of snobbery.

My partner and I made contact with Savills through Zoopla and I have to say that our contact, Jess made the whole process of finding and securing our first apartment together as painless and stress free as possible.She was polite and friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable and professional.Thank you for you efforts and time!

Our experience of Savills has been positive. We go into all dealings with estate agents with a heavy dose of cynicism, but they have been nothing but efficient and helpful for us. Our property manager, Aliya, has been consistent in her responsiveness, professionalism and effectiveness in getting things sorted when we’ve needed help. Thank you for helping restore a little faith in estate agents!

Savills (sellers agent) positive approach to us as buyers

Savills, in the shape of their local representative, Alister Sherwood, were extremely helpful in securing us the house we desired. They acted as the sellers representative, but we, as buyers felt that the responsiveness and willingness to assist us in our due diligence was an excellent example of professional behaviour and responsibility.Our thanks to Alister and Savills

Victoria Anderson-Stewart worked tirelessly to sell our home so much so that the house was sold before it even went onto the market. At all times she was professional in a polite considerate and respectful manner. Thank you Victoria.

The very worst letting agents I have encountered

As many others have said here, having Savills as letting agents is a really unpleasant experience.They recently took over as agents here and it’s honestly like having a bully in your own home. You just never know what the next email is going to say - They’re rude and heavy handed. I’ve been living here happily for a few years now, as have others on the row; we all get on, pay our rent on time, look after the properties and are generally good tenants - the way Savills behave, you’d think the polar opposite. A home (rented or owned) is supposed to be precisely that - a home, your safe space - Savills fail to understand that and make renting from them upsetting and unpredictable.Letting smaller properties is not their forte - it’s a secondary service they offer to larger, wealthy clients and that lack of knowledge, experience and care shines through. If you’re looking at renting from Savills, please be wary. If you’re looking at renting properties through then, please reconsider - this is not their speciality, it’s not what they’re good at! You want nice, happy tenants (like myself and my neighbours) and Savills cannot give you that and they will ruin it if you have it already.

Victoria Point

I’m I first time buyer who wisely decided that the best time to purchase a property was during the pandemic. I’ve dealt with people not turning up for the viewings, people showing me inappropriate properties, such as places with no parking regardless of the fact that I said I needed one, and, most infuriatingly, people talking business with my father even after I identified myself as the buyer who is paying for everything.Pete Cronin at Victoria Point is amazing, and is part of the reason why I loved the property so much (although it’s a beautiful place!). He was kind, honest and took the time to ask me what I’m looking for and how I’d like to do things. I didn’t feel pressured or rushed out of the office at all, he told me to take my time and think about it if I need to, or come back and do another viewing, and nothing was too much to ask for. I could come back to view it whenever possible and Pete was always in touch with me to provide updates.When I found out from my solicitor that they were missing a document that was leaving them unable to submit my application I emailed Pete who looked into that within minutes and got it sorted (turns out they weren’t being too honest!) the same day.What I thought would be fraught with paperwork, fees and stress has been nothing but pleasant (at least on Pete’s side!) because of him! Please let him know, he deserves recognition for all the help and kindness he has given me.Saranja

The team at Savills in Stamford were incredibly helpful all through what turned out to be a hugely challenging sales process. From the initial valuation and marketing through dealing with incredibly difficult (borderline unreasonable) buyers all the way to completion, they have been helpful, professional and reliable. The bottom line - they helped me realise a very good price during unpredictable market conditions. Highly recommended!

Lazy and complacent Agents

Savills had a reputation for being an excellent high end residential and commercial property estate agents. We however have found them to be lazy and complacent. A request for a property appraisal and valuation in rural Notts (£1 - 1.5 million) was met with a cursory email and a refusal to come out and see the property or even discuss it with us from J* H*, one of their customer service representatives. The only explanation he gave was: "We do not believe we are the right agent to achieve the best outcome from your property". These seem vagie words from a stock email response translating as "I can't be bothered to come out and sell your property or to telephone you to explain why…"

Easy to work with

In comparison with other real estate companies I've worked with, Savills have been a much more pleasant experience. As a former tenant of a Savills managed property, they responded quickly, took care of any issues with the property promptly, and was easy to work with towards the end of tenancy. I would highly recommend Savills over the other real estate company I've leased from.

I am about to move to a new apartment…

I am about to move to a new apartment in abudhabi and all the verbal communication and agreement was just ignored by the agent I was dealing with.The apartment was supposed to be ready by this week ( cleaned and maintained) so far the flat has a lot of issues. I have provided down payment and first payment and all they Cheques but no contract or leasing agreement was given. I have already cancelled my current contract and I should be moving in four days and still no response .

Services improved a lot

We have the new property manager Atticus and Angus helping us to look after our property for about 1 year. I feel that the services we are imrpoving tremendously, as i have prompt reply and action on my questions. I am considering letting them to manage my additional property when the existing letting agreement expires in near future.

Savills, namely Matt Orchard.

Matt has been professional, upbeat, supportive and very good on communication. Our expectations of Savills were high, and thanks to Matt and the team, they have been met in every respect. We would strongly recommend Savills as a quality Estate Agent. Mac and Valerie Lafosse.

Incredibly stressful and frustrating…

Incredibly stressful and frustrating experience.My partner and I were accepted on our dream flat after months of disappointment looking for somewhere. Initially started off well, with submitting requested information for referencing and a check in being booked, of which the member of staff confirmed everything was complete and good to go. Two working days before our check in, the third party referencing company contacted us to say they couldn't open the documentation we provided. It was CSV rather than PDF which can easily be converted for free online, but we were more than happy to provide this again but of course this delayed our move in. We were lucky we planned for some overlap, but I would have preferred not to have used it as it has caused increased stress, which we were trying to avoid, vacating our current property. I then had no communication on our move in day regarding this, and felt like there was no urgency regarding our case. We then get told our guarantors earnings fall short by a very small amount the day after we were meant to be in. This was a shock to us as we were accepted as tenants on the basis of our guarantors earnings. No one had the common sense to speak to the landlord, explain that we only have a guarantor for recent self employment purposes and advise we earn enough after we had to provide 6 months bank statements, 6 months of invoices and let them connect to our bank accounts (a very invasive process indeed). Having worked as a property manager myself, we provided the additional information they needed immediately in order to get this over the line as quickly as we could.We also had trouble with signatures of which I won't go into. After finally coming round to collecting keys 5 working days after our initial move in, on the surface the flat looked okay.But after further investigation the flat was left in an unacceptable state, plug holes were green, insides of cabinets black, stains on carpets. I was advised the previous tenants deposit had been returned, wrongly so in my opinion. And an inventory of the property also hasn't been conducted before we moved in.The communication from Savills has been minimal and short and we are waiting for a resolution. This was supposed to be a really exciting time for us and it has been filled with stress, frustration and disappointment.

Good support from property managers

We've recently had really good support from Lauren (and also Sophie and Natasha) as our property managers, helping us navigate the challenges of having a water leak coming from our flat into the common parts of the building. Thank you all of you for helping solve the issue and also for going the extra step to ensure we were not over-charged. It is much appreciated.
