Scrivins & Co Estate Agents & Letting Agents Hinckley reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We have just finished an 8-year tenancy with Scrivins and had a fantastic experience. Unlike many other agents we’ve dealt with in the past, they were always responsive and treated our house like a home rather than just a transaction. Special thanks to Jamie, Tina, Charlie and all team for being so helpful throughout our stay and making the final checkout and deposit return process seamless. A truly reliable agency that I would 100% recommend to any tenant.

I was very nervous about taking this big step, on my own and at my age (66yrs) I can honestly say that from the moment I walked into the flat and met Charlie, to the moment that I picked up the keys (10days later!!) ,the process was so smooth and not half as terrifying as thought it was going to be. This was all due to Charlie and the team at Scrivins. Many thanks for all of your help and guidance.

We've just signed up with Scrivens in the past few days and has been a smooth process so far from Becky coming to visit and then Jamie coming to take picture and I mean he didnt just come for 10 mins and snap snap snap, he really did take his time to get the best out of the house which it deserves along with a drone view. We've had a few visits on the first day and I believe an offer is going to be made. I always like to deal with family business as I believe you get that personal touch and pride. Thanks Scrivens

As a landlord it's important that your agent can be relied to manage the property on your behalf. Ensure that all the relevant checks take place. Return your calls and take prompt action when necessary. It's also important for tennant retention, that they feel supported and their concerns are addressed. Jamie, Tina, Charlie and the team a Scrivins do just that.

We moved house just over a week ago now , and just wanted to thank Becky and her team for their excellent service right from the word go . Becky arrived very promptly and took professional photographs , these were collated together creating a video , this was escalated out onto Scrivens Social Media and I truly believe this helped to sell our home . We were originally with another agent , but swiftly after changing to Scrivens we had lots of interest and viewings coming through our door , its a real advantage using the local agent . Scrivens are highly recommendable, and really do offer a first class job !

Not sure where to start with this review. But Scrivins & Co have been absolutely flawless throughout every step of the selling process. Working in an agency in Leicester myself, I know the standard set. Scrivins have absolutely blown me away. Tuesday Becky came out and gave us an accurate valuation and took a look round, Wednesday she came back to take all of the photos. My house was on the market on the Friday, less than 24 hours later I had a call to say someone wanted to view (that viewer then bought!!). Becky was very knowledgable and informative and so lovely! Communication has always been so prompt, all team members are efficient and they are very knowledgeable and honest - my house previously was overvalued by another agent and Becky was honest about what was achievable and clearly this worked and was the reason it wasn’t selling before bringing over to Scrivins. If you are looking at selling your house, this is the agent for you. Very personal, helpful and flexible. Thank you to Alisha, Becky & Bea who I’ve dealt with so far. To say I’m happy with the service doesn’t come close - couldn’t recommend more. Alisha is an asset to the team, she also helped me buy my house years ago and I’m so glad to be working alongside her again! Thanks for all of your help everyone!!

Scrivins we're recommended to me by a friend when I decided to sell my property, they were honest accurate and very professional throughout, they sold my property within 1 day! Throughout the sale they were always on hand to support and guide especially when it came to solicitors! A particular shout out to Lydia Y, without who's help and patience I still doubt I would have actually moved. Highly recommended indeed. Many thanks Scrivins

We were unsure on who to use when selling our house. We had noticed that Scrivins & Co were selling a lot of properties near to where we lived so we decided to go with them. We were glad that we did. Alisha was professional from start to finish - not once did we need to chase her up for anything. We were kept informed on any developments and she made the whole experience stress free. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Scrivins & Co Lloyd & Georgia

We recently sold our house with Becky at Scrivins, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Becky demonstrated outstanding professionalism, market knowledge, and dedication throughout the entire process. They provided clear and timely communication, ensuring we were always informed and comfortable with each step. We highly recommend Becky and Scrivins to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for making the process seamless and stress-free!

Jamie and the team at Scrivens have managed my properties for around 7 years now. They've always been friendly, professional and helpful. They arranged the viewings for my tenants, the tenancy agreements, carry out regular inspections and keep me informed when gas certificates etc are due. They'll liaise between the tenant and myself if there are any issues to be sorted. I've felt comfortable using them as my agent and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone.

My experience with was not good…it was great, they were not my agents but the sellers agents, I found them to be very approachable and friendly, when my purchase had a problem with the land registry it was Lydia and Lucy that kept me informed. I contacted Scrivens on several occasions and if Lydia was not available I was never fobbed off, I was transferred either to Lucy or Becky, I always felt like my issue was as important to them as it was to me, I feel my purchase wouldn’t have been completed when it was if it hadn’t been for the girls at Scrivens. I see many for sale boards in Burbage and Hinckley, I often smile and think you are in good hands. Thank you all at Scrivens, and all the best from my mum Nina and myself for what you did for us. ❤️

I worked with Charlie to secure my rental, and she made the entire process easy, straightforward, and completely stress‑free. She kept me updated every step of the way, responded quickly to my questions, and always took the time to listen. I highly recommend Scrivins and Charlie!

Selling your home has to be one of the most stressful things you can do, from the initial preparation for its valuation through to the final completion stage. From beginning to end you need to be able to rely on your estate agent and so finding the right one that works with you is vital. For the most part, Scrivins ticks all of the boxes: Will is brilliant at valuing; Jamie quite good with his camera (though he perhaps needs to slow down and take a few more photos then really be selective); Alisha and Lydia on sales, interact with clients superbly and see the job completed; Becky, however, lets the team down. Becky could perhaps benefit from lessons in social skills, she is no doubt determined to get results (commission ) but in so being, comes across far too pushy, even rude! A number of other people who we have spoken to have had the same experience. It is for this reason that we have not awarded 5 stars in the review - sorry!

Charlie was so fantastic throughout our renting journey with Scrivins. No question was silly and nothing was too much trouble. We're now in our new home and the continued communication has made everything so simple.

Alisha and her team made several appointments for me to visit properties in a very short period of time. Photos and descriptions of the properties are accurate which made the viewing experience so pleasant and relaxed. Time is taken to explain all you want to know and Alisha is always there to help. A very approachable attitude and therefore I was very quickly able to purchase the house that was right for us. I would highly recommend Scrivins as they were such a helpful team. Thank you ever so much for an amazing experience.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Scrivins & Co are Brilliant!! We rented our first house in October and they were patient, understanding and kind throughout the whole process. The communication from Jamie and Tina is always helpful and they are always fast to respond with any queries we may have. I would recommend anybody to use Scrivins & Co.

After Scrivins managed to make my own move work out reasonably I was hopeful that my Dad's move would be dealt with well too. Unfortunately, they have barely been able to lift a finger to help get the transaction complete. There has been a complete lack of communication, zero urgency and no attempts to help resolve issues to help the process along. It seems they are impotent in the process as looking back I cannot see how they helped my move either. A poor choice of solicitors might be the main problem, but Scrivins is not helping.

Scrivins helped me and my partner buy our first home together. Scrivins first put us in touch with their mortgage advisor which helped us to understand what we could buy and how the whole process works. We then found our home through scrivins. Lydia and Alisha were really helpful in making this as straight forward as possible by chasing our seller and solicitor and pushing through the sale of the house as quick as possible. Really great service and always quick at responding to questions by email and phone.

I'm sorry, last time my computer glitched and it wouldn't let me leave a description! We recently bought our first house through scrivins and Co. I was really pleased when we found the house we wanted with them to be honest, as we'd had such a mixed bag with estate agent viewings and scrivins had always been quick to arrange bookings, no pressure, very covid-safe and organised. The people who showed us round houses with scrivins were always really friendly and professional as well. When I made an offer on the house, Jake was fast and fair when going between us and the seller. We never felt - like we did with other estate agents - that he was trying to pressure us, just simply relaying messages between us. Scrivins came in to their own when we were dealing with solicitors though. Lydia was an absolute diamond. Sometimes we would be sat there for days on end, on some occasions weeks, just being told we were waiting to hear back from the solicitors. As first time buyers, we didn't really know the process but a friend who is a commercial property solicitor suggested I ask the estate agent to nudge their end. Lydia almost always replied within 5 minutes of me emailing, she was always quick to action requests and was constantly supportive. She was honest and efficient and I honestly can't fault her at all. On the day of completion, my solicitor confirmed and said we will hear from the estate agent soon and no sooner had I got off the phone, Lydia rang and said we could collect the keys. Even after we had bought the house, we popped out the day after we moved in for 5 minutes and came back to find the sign gone when I know other estate agents can take weeks to do this. Very professional and organised service, thank you so much for all your help scrivins and especially Lydia!

Scrivins have been excellent at reassuring me on the sale of my property at what as been a very stressful time. I haven’t sold a house before and throughout the process they have guided me, offering me realistic advice. They are also incredibly responsive and more specifically their sales negotiator Alisha is always quick to reply to any emails and queries. My house sold within four days. I couldn’t be more impressed with their service.PositiveResponsiveness, Value

Having dealt with Scrivins & Co over a few years for a let and subsequent property sale, I would recommend them highly. Becky was always responsive to my questions and requests, giving me a realistic assessment of the state of the market. All members of the team I dealt with were helpful, speedy and efficient. Thanks for all your support!
