Good experience all round

Victoria at Savills Newbury was a pleasure to deal with.She was highly professional and most importantly kept in constant touch and was always available either directly on the phone or by email. Our move was quite lengthy until exchange but the entire team at Savills were very calm and nothing was too much trouble.We would not hesitate to recommend them to other homebuyers. Thank you all very much.

Unprofessional

I had a viewing booked for today at 4:15 PM. I emailed 30 minutes beforehand to see if I could reschedule for same day 5pm and was told it had been cancelled because the apartment had already been taken. This was surprising, as I had only booked it yesterday. If I hadn’t emailed first, I wouldn’t have known and would have shown up outside the building, mind you, it’s raining quite heavily today! This is not a professional way to deal with people.

Oliver H

Oliver H. has been incredibly kind and efficient during my time with him as property manager. He addressed all my concerns swiftly and was extremely lovely during the entire process. I cannot recommend him more highly!

Sue was very good at keeping us informed.

Sue was very good at keeping us informed of the progress with the sale which was dragging on due to external influences. Earlier on when dealing with another colleague, I felt I was having to do the chasing but it was much better when Sue took over and she made a massive effort to make sure everything was put in place for us.

Angus Wong property manager

Angus Wong has been our property manager this year and we’ve had a very positive experience. He has treated the management of the property as diligently as if it was his own, been a pleasure to communicate with, always prompt and efficient. Highly recommend.

It was a pleasure working with Savills…

It was a pleasure working with Savills for our house purchase and it was by far the best experience of buying a property I have had. From start to finish, we were kept up to date and served extremely well. Lucy Kirkshaw-Staines was exceptional and really helped the whole process along. Highly recommended, 5 STAR!

We had a great service from Savills

We had a great service from Savills. Charles Lang and Robert Jacobs introduced us to the vendors of a house we really wanted. A prompt offer was accepted and Savills then marketed our house and found the ideal buyer. The whole process went from initial offer to completion in under nine months which was a miracle given the size and complexity of the properties involved. Throughout the process Charles, Robert and the team at Savills went out of their way to be as helpful and supportive as possible. Moving house is notoriously stressful but Savills made it so much easier. Thanks to them, we now have a house we love and our 'downsize' leaves us exactly where we want to be.

Our agent

Our agent, Karl Matier, was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process of selling and buying our house. The market was extremely difficult, as were some of the buyers in the chain, but he made every effort to keep things going and speed the process up. He kept in touch regularly throughout and remained calm under, what was, a very stressful procedure.

I had an exceptional experience with Savills Hackney, thanks to Felix Mitchell’s outstanding support throughout my tenancy. From the very beginning to the end of the rental process, Felix made everything smooth and straightforward. He was always available to answer my questions, highly accommodating in scheduling visits to suit my needs, and consistently approachable and caring. His professionalism made the entire experience stress free, which was especially refreshing after previous challenges with other agents. I can’t recommend Felix and the Savills Hackney team highly enough!

Charged twice at Intu for parking

Charged twice at Intu for parking. Had to pay again as one machine must have been faulty and the barriers would not raise for my car. Paid again and was allowed to leave. Ocular proof available.----------------------Hi I will - I've already filled a form out on your official website a while ago so you may be able to locate that also. There was no response.

Shockingly poor service

Shockingly poor service. Please beware if Savills are the property service agents ie taking care of the entire building block. When you want to sell/buy a property then they are supposed to provide a management pack and are paid for it. For us it has been over 43 days and still nothing from them. Without the management pack we can not proceed and the process is stuck. There have been several chaser emails but still nothing.Am trying to figure out who is the senior management to contact to expedite this matter.Update- after writing this review the pack was provided within 6 hours. Thank you to Trustpilot.

Worst block management company, very unprofessional

Savills took over management of our luxury estate in Paddington a year ago and, sadly, transformed it into an environment that feels closer to a neglected urban area. Despite our repeated attempts at civilized conversation and requests for resolution of pressing issues, Savills has consistently let us down.One of our main concerns is the staff's professionalism, or lack thereof. Their working hours seem limited, they fail to respond appropriately to reports of illicit activities within the estate, and they've even resorted to blocking communication from residents who've raised issues.Adding to our frustration is their habit of hiring friends and family members for key roles. Our gardening and maintenance services, for example, have noticeably declined in quality due to lack of commitment and competency.Security in the estate has also dramatically worsened under Savills' management. Despite being promised 24/7 concierge and security, we've experienced periods with no security officers present during the day. In one alarming incident, an intruder managed to enter a flat and cause distress to its inhabitants by getting naked, peeing on a bed and attacking the husband of a pregnant lady. Despite clear evidence, Savills denied any culpability for this incident.Cleanliness is another casualty of Savills' lackluster management. Rats in the bin rooms and persistently dirty common areas are now common sights. Lifts and entrance doors remain broken for extended periods.The final blow came when Savills decided to inflate our service charge by 40% upon their impending departure. It appears they're trying to make a final financial gain before we replace them with a more professional agency.If you know Savills manages a residence you're interested in, my advice is run away. Instead of enjoying the comforts of our flats, we residents find ourselves investing significant time and energy into resolving issues that Savills should have addressed. Their unprofessional conduct borders on the criminal, from facilitating unsafe conditions to taking our hard-earned money without providing the services we've paid for. This review could be a novel, but to sum it up, Savills staff are unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude. You go higher up the chain, and they all protect each other with no accountability for anything. I really cannot wish anyone to have to deal with Savills. But honest hard-working people will eventually win as we keep hearing news about how they're getting removed of many estates for their unprofessionalism.

It's a shameless company who doesn't care about you at all. Waiting 8 months to relocate difrent apartment. First seven months was told it's a plumbing issue and i need wait,before I can move. Told they can't fix, and after that i was offered difrent apartment, and they let someone else live in before us. And told it's temporary, to be patient and wait. Seriously, how long they will lie to us. There is no end.. Terrible company, never saw anyone else like them.

Think Twice ! If you are about to rent an accommodation managed by Savills. I lived in Sienna House Sutton, their 'don't care' attitude drive me nuts

Think Twice ! if you are about to rent an accommodation managed by Savills. I lived in Sienna House, Sutton. All the issues or bad experience stem from their 'who cares' attitude as rental properties in Sutton are in high demand. Also, they use Community Utilities (CU) as the sole utilities provider at Sienna House which drove me (and a lot of other residents) NUTS.- I paid a higher price for an apartment with a bigger terrace, however, there was hygiene issue (pigeons) in the terrace. I could not even open the window next to the terrace because the feathers and the droppings of the pigeons. I reported /complained in March 2022 and it was not resolved (in fact, Savills did NOTHING ) until I moved out in early 2023. The residential team was very sophisticated in testing tenants' patience and let you give up. They knew that moving house is not easy especially when there was a high demand in rental properties. They were so kind to potential tenants when conducting site visit so that they always have a long waiting list but they will change their masks again when dealing with existing tenants- The sole utilities provider was Community Utilities (CU). They charged me ~390 GBP for the first 19 days. Apparently, it was wrong and it took months to get it corrected. During that time, I sent many emails and phone calls. Like Savills, they were good at testing my patience and resilience. There were many other cases of overcharge, non-issue of bills and then giving tenants surprises ....(search CU at Trustpilot and you can see other people feedback)- Community Utilities did not give the residents the credit of government energy support in the monthly bills since Oct 2022. It was only until late January 2023 when UC provided the tenants a link to the government website to apply the support directly. However, my application was declined by the government because I longer live in Sienna House when I applied. The website emailed me and asked me to contact UC to arrange. When I contacted UC (several times), their only answer were : Please apply through the government website. I felt like I was talking to robots. I was stuck now and lost several months of government energy support. The point about Savills was, when I moved out of Sienna House and applied for the refund of my rental deposit, Savills asked me to either (1) settle the last month of utilities bill in full issued by UC (note, no energy credit was ever given in their bills !) and provided the proof or (2) let Savills deduct the outstanding utilities bills and refund the balance. When I said to Savills that I will settle the bill by the deadline directly with UC because it is a matter between me and UC, Savills said No REFUND will be sent to me until the utilities bill was settled. With that, I suspect that UC (Savills also named it 'Amber' ) and Savills were related companies. Now, when I emailed UC (cc Savills) asking for help regarding the missing energy support, Savills acted like they were non-exist (note ! Savills was super helpful to UC when collecting the money from the last utilities bill). Savills and UC were a perfect combination in testing my patience and stress tolerance. Should I just regard myself as unlucky and let go while all of my friends have already received 400GBP support already by end of March 2023 ?I am keen to see whether Savills will take my feedback seriously and try to help. As a tenant of Sienna House, I had to use UC, not at my choice at all. I hope Savills will provide me with a practical way of contacting someone who can really help (not the residential management team at Sienna House because I have given up on them)

Very professional service! Highly recommended!5/5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 English is our second language, but Mr Greg & Mr Jay from Savills helped us a lot to explain everything to us, and they even offered an extension in order to help us getting all our funds on time, and they even discussed with our solicitor, in order to speed up the process and work together to have a smooth and pleasant transaction.I will recommend Savills to all my friends and relatives. Very nice properties for a live auction where you can make your bid very easy and enjoy the bidding process in the mean time.Once again, thanks again for all your help. Hope to have this transaction completed soon.

Excellent Block Management

While I can't (yet!) speak for Savills' service more generally, the manager for my particular building (Shikha) has been on top of every problem I've raised and unusually proactive in resolving them.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jen at Savills to sell my flat, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly and approachable and made me feel confident that I was in good hands. Jen is a fantastic salesperson who clearly knows the market well. She managed to get the job done efficiently and together we hit the set 'deadline'. I would highly recommend Jen to anyone looking to buy or sell their property!

Corrupt Contractors, And Corrupt complaints department

My dealings with Tunbridge Wells Savills, wasn't the best, I reported boiler issues in July, and by December after 10 visits from Billy from The Mcalpine Group, I become suspicious and refused access, upon further checks, He had no GAS safety Card and was performing illegal boiler works, They also instructed a non trading company ''Warner Hurst Property Maintenance Limited '' what files dormant accounts from the date of registration to install, Dangerous cheap Chinese carpets. When I had reported such issues to Savills, Dianna was very helpful in the beginning stages providing lots of help and advice, to she was told off by managers , and told JAS and FIONA would take over then attempted a cover up.They shared rude internal emails about myself, and commented on a checkered passed, When in-fact Savills also have a checkered passed, they spent millions of pounds at Garden Court Chambers paying KC's to remove news articles where Savills have been connected to multiple property frauds in the hundreds of millions, and are currently trying to Pay off Barclays £14M in a property mortgage fraud as well as HSBC £11M in a separate fraud, As well as ongoing cases with JP MORGAN and Lloyds Banking Group for other frauds, Savills are also connected to a fraud relating to the Royal Family, but once again settled millions out of court. ( all of the above are available to see in publicly accessible court transcripts & archived news reports ) Tamsin @ Savills also challenged me and biged up their contractor list. There contractors have shady company formations and Savills use them to charge the most out of landlords. £1500 for cheap Chinese carpet is not acceptable, and Work invoices sent to companies what are dormant and non trading is a criminal offence, and Gas works sent to engineers whom don't have the qualifications to touch a boiler.In the end, after Billy from The Mcalpine Group, attended over 10 occasions to inspect a Gas Boiler he over priced several boiler parts what didn't fix the job then when I reported he had no Gas safety certificate, there was no evidence to support he touched my boiler claimed Savills, infact he had sub contracted work, to a plumber who did, When I had informed Savills of my ring door bell, there position has changed to we will no longer discuss this matter with you.Overall, rental process was stress free, Faith Lewis was speedy with sorting issues out at the beginning stages, The mistake I made was making a offer before seeing the property.The Tennant was being awkward and not allowing access, so I went ahead and made an offer. This was used against me when issues did arise.No one showed any remorse, When several mistakes was made, Tamsin, instructed me in emails on the 19th of December, when I had informed her; her contractors was not certified, I could arrange parts and my own contractor, then on the 22nd of December threatened me breach of contract for arranging my own parts. She clearly has some type of short term memory loss, on what and when and who she spoke to, Why this was taken place sharing cheeky emails between each other at my expense.This time rather then use my own computer skills, I had to use DSAR requests to access data in the correct format, to see their own internal investigation work, what unearthed a complete different version of events, Staff was dramatic, providing false accounts to contact they had with me, and even Tamsin reported to landlord & '' her contact with me report'' requested by managers, I'm ordering parts for the boiler to her surprise, but it was this very agent what give me the green light and told me to order parts, keep receipts and even give me advice how the contractor I use should address invoices.I spoke to the landlord direct, whom says it was Tamsin who was the one who persuaded her to use the The Mcalpine Group parsing there work and going over there insurance and so forth on the 21st, Tamsin also told the landlord I was acting without warrant, and ordering parts for her appliances what could put her property at risk.Tamsin completely forgot I had reported to her The Mcalpine Group had no certifications to install external expansion vessel, and she was whom give me a full '' GO ahead '' to order parts.Then in emails she reports to her manager, I am very frustrated and. hard work on the phone.surprise surprise .... 6 months no heating ! horrible Christmas...Expect this service from Savills, when dealing with there contractors.They should also follow a famous quote, Practice what you preach, And before you mention checkered past, please check your own :)Thanks.

Condescending and rude attitude but good with response times and viewings

Viewings went well and very responsive. However I did not expect to be spoken to rudely and in a condescending manner from a particular member of their team. Marketing themselves as an agent providing great service but i found the service other than viewings and response time to be extremely poor. Senior member of staff was not helpful either and did not take a balanced stance after complaint submitted.

Ellis and Savills were simply incredible

Working with Ellis and the team at Savills was an incredible experience. Selling a home in the UK when we are living in Sydney, was stressful at times not being close by and on the right time zone. Having Ellis overseeing everything for us was incredible and we felt so confident with the entire process we couldn’t recommend her or Savills more highly. So professional and efficient and the perfect representative for our beautiful home. We felt in very safe hands which was very comforting from the other side of the world.
