At all times, every member of the company were lovely, friendly and very professional. We had a stream of potential buyers, and were fully informed all the way. We would thoroughly recommend anyone instructing Symonds and Sampson . Thank you from us all xxx

GoogleAn absolutely amazing team that go the extra mile to help you through the house selling experience.
We were having to sell the property from a distance and relied on Julie, Jonathan and the rest of the staff to do so much for us.
We're now looking and hoping the right property comes up with them as I'm sure our buying experience would be just as perfect.

GoogleWe had a professional service from Symonds and Sampson’s when selling our property and buying a new property. Viewings we’re arranged and supervised by friendly courteous members of the team. Good feedback after each viewing. Our property sold in 2 weeks and the team supported us through from sale to completion with timely help and advice.
We have moved several times and Symonds and Sampsons have been the best agents we have ever used. We have no hesitation in recommending This company to anyone planning a house move.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleThis is one of those rare times I wish I could somehow rate this review 10 stars out of 5.
My partner and I have both recently sold our houses and then spent several months working with real estate agents to try and find a potential new home. So, you can imagine how many agents we have dealt with in this time (probably pushing on 25). Obviously, you would expect some ranging levels of customer service and perhaps competency when dealing with so many agents.
However, it’s not until you meet someone so knowledgeable, respectful and who obviously has a love for property in general that you realise you are dealing with a true professional. Not to mention someone who has done their homework on the property in question, do you realise that this branch of Symonds and Sampson’s is in a league of their own.
I say the ‘branch’ as we initially dealt with Rebecca, then Molly and then Georgie and the transition and professionalism were seamless between them all. This is very rare in my experience and is testament to the training and possible recruitment policy of S&S.
Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and thought provoking - Highly recommended 😊

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleTotally unacceptable behaviour from this estate agent who continue to repeatedly list a property that the vendor has not sold despite an agreed offer being in place for two and a half years at least. This property has been on the market at least three years and has had a agreed offer twice but the vendor is incapable of finding a property in all that time. This has left a purchaser out of pocket to the tune of £50K. The vendor even asked for more money as the market moved on. If estate agents wonder why they have such a bad reputation, look no further than the morally indefensible behaviour here. They care not one bit for integrity but just want the commission money. This particular vendor should be barred, but Symonds and Sampson allow it to continue.

GoogleI have just purchased my house from Symonds & Sampson Ilminster and would like to say a very big thank you to all the team - a first class service from start to finish.
Always responded to email requests immediately. Chased up seller's solicitor to speed the process up and were very accommodating for me to collect the keys.
And to finish this amazing service, I received a kind moving in gift ... won't say what as spoil the surprise for others, but I thought it was a very nice touch and much appreciated.
Highly recommend this estate agents!
