GoogleAaliyabanu from Austin & Wyatt your dedication and support throughout the process have been invaluable.

GoogleHad a bad start with Linda lush then the manager. False promises but giving nothing to backup. But lucky for us Lainey was there to pick up the pieces her enthusiasm communication and commitment to sell made us stay. Her experience shone through. We spoke weekly and she restored our faith in Austin Wyatt . 18 months later sold! Thankful for everyone involved AJ too but mostly Lainey she knows her stuff . Go lainey THANK YOU

GoogleI love to see that other clients had a better experience than I had with this agency. Mine was shocking. Lost keys to the property purchased? Tick! Key documents missed to be submitted to relevant parties causing delay? Tick! Arrogant, condescending, bordering on unprofessional behaviour and communication? Also tick! I could go on. I couldn't wait for the purchase process to finish, which eventually took 9 month! And funnily enough, A&W were not even my estate agent. I personally definitely would not recommend this branch.

GoogleOne of the most disappointing and stressful experiences Iβve ever had with an estate agency.
We made an offer on a property that was advertised as freehold, and were assured throughout the early stages of the process that this was correct. As first-time buyers, we relied heavily on the agencyβs recommendations and went with their suggested mortgage broker and solicitor, trusting that things would be handled professionally.
Three months into the process, after providing every document requested and enduring long delays and poor communication from their recommended legal team, we were informed that the property was actually leasehold, not freehold as originally advertised.
By this time, we had committed significant time and money, and had even given notice to our current landlord. The agency began pressuring us to pay for the freehold purchase ourselves, despite the misrepresentation not being our error. Although I repeatedly asked for written confirmation from the sellerβs solicitors about what was agreed to over the phone, none was ever provided, despite assurances.
Eventually, I agreed to cover not only the cost of the freehold but also the sellerβs legal fees, on top of our own, just to avoid losing the house. This was a massive financial strain. But after all this, the seller withdrew from the sale anyway, again, with no formal notice sent to our solicitor. The property was relisted for Β£10,000 more, and my legal team is still chasing confirmation to close the file. Our mortgage lender hasnβt been officially informed either.
The entire experience has left us out of pocket by over Β£1,500, without a home, and now struggling to secure alternative accommodation, all while caring for young children.
To say this process was handled unprofessionally would be an understatement. From misadvertising the property, to lack of formal communication, to constant pressure tactics, this has been a costly and deeply upsetting ordeal. If youβre a first-time buyer, proceed with extreme caution.

GoogleAll the staff are very welcoming and friendly. We've been very happy with the support given whilst moving into the property. However once in the property, the support has been less impressive. Usually quite prompt at fixing issues, but theres a few things that are fully ignored. I've had a leak under my sink for almost 2 months, had a plumber sent out for something else and was told not to fix this leak. I've left voicemails, emails and texts, all of which have been ignored for multiple weeks

GoogleThis was my first time renting from Austin and Wyatt. Jade West (senior lettings negotiator) handled our renting process, she was so helpful and kind. She even contacted me personally about a rent offer which turned out to be such an amazing flat, better than I could've hoped for in such a short time which I'm extremely grateful for. She takes time to get to know your needs and what you look for in a house/flat so my experience with her and all the team in London Rd was very positive and I will definitely look for buying from the in the future!

GoogleMy father was a tenant of a property managed by A&W - he passed away back in April and we have had very little communication from Austin & Wyatt on whether his room has been cleared, and we've had no communication on what is happening with his deposit. Emails are often going ignored (even by the branch manager), and I feel this is a really poor way to treat people who are dealing with a very recent and painful bereavement.

GoogleWhile searching for a home for myself and my partner I faced lots of challenges with other agencies not really helping with my search untill I was in contact with austin and wyatt, I was met with friendly professional support from being shown around the property by James Murphy who was every bit of a gentleman, polite well mannered was ready with answers to our questions and humble to admit if he didn't. Once contact was made with Jade West in office to proceed with arrangements she was extremely welcoming really approachable very knowledgeable and was really patient to take the time to help me have a full grasp of all details we would need to know.
All processes were completed in a timely manner. My hats off to austin and wyatt london road southampton, you deserve every one of these stars. me and my partner couldn't be happier

Whenever I emailed or called them they were always very responsive and they really gave me consulting.

GoogleThankyou to both A&Y Sales and A&Y Lettings for my Southampton property's smooth sale transition.
Although it was probably one of your simplest sales duer to my A&Y tenant being the buyer, it was my first sale so your assistance with both parties' legal people was invaluable.
The tricky management of the final month's rent and so many maintenance items by the Lettings team over 15 years has been exemplary.
I particularly commend Christopher P for his diplomatic liaison with tenants and in handling issues.
Having both services with A&Y greatly eased and materially assisted the sale transition process.
I will commend A&Y tenancy management & Sales to all the landlords among my contacts
