Scamed at Fletton Quays "car park misled "

I bought a duplex at Fletton Quays with a Savills sales assistant I have made a mistake of trust her, I even used PCS as her recommended, unfortunately I received all paper work one day before completion and have not occurred to me that they would change the car parking plans, now I stuck with a car park that is totally different from what was sold and show Savills and the sales assistant answers were, sorry nothing we can do, lessons learned, never ever buy from Savills again and never trust anyone , Byers please be aware.

Excellent post offer service

Millie and the team were excellent. I do not think we would have got through to completion if it wasn't for the level of service they provided. Even following completion they were extremely helpful. I would highly recommend.

Transparent, Professional, and Responsive

Zoe and the Savills team helped make our relocation from the US an absolute breeze. They were so responsive and transparent throughout the entire process, and provided so much useful information from the outset for what we could anticipate throughout the letting process and getting moved into our flat. The team was very helpful in navigating our first experience with renting a flat in the UK, and they were very flexible about accepting alternative documentation for ex-pats who didn't yet have records in the UK. The icing on the cake is that we absolutely love our flat -- it's much nicer and larger than we would have ever imagined a flat in Zone 1/2 could be. We would absolutely recommend working with the Savills team.

Simply the best

If you are looking for a direct, professional and legitimate company to help you find the perfect property, Saville's is truly the only way to go. Specifically, Mark Fell goes above and beyond. The amount of time and energy I wasted trying to work with other letting agencies still haunts me to this day. I should have just called Mark sooner, but at least I ultimately did. He found a dream property for me within a week and was smart, professional and quick to get paperwork figured quickly and with little headache. He was courteous and kind, and I felt I could trust him with my inquiries and with the weight of ultimately finding a home to live in. A wonderful, easy and stress-free letting experience with an incredible agent.

Useless

Having failed to sell our house for the 2nd time, they then went and demanded part of the sales fee from an agent that then did sell it to one of Savills viewers the first weekend the house was relaunched. They relied on their Terms of Business to extract some money of the agent who actually worked effectively to sell the property. The buyers themselves refused to deal with Savills after the first viewing. Also lots of 'positive' viewings that we then heard nothing back from the viewers - ok not always the agents faults but vet your clients first - especially in COVID times when its not ideal having a bunch of time wasters seeing your property. Would never buy or sell through this form again. One word to some them up - Useless.

Sophie Candlin is all I have to say.

Brilliant service received by Sophie Candlin, she was process driven, prompt and my vocabulary is too limited to express the joy of dealing with Sophie when on search for our ideal home. I work in a demanding environment of luxury also supplying service and if Savills don't acknowledge her talent then, she will always have a managerial role with me! as I had dealt with many agents whilst on my search prior to Sophie and they are no match! Thank you for all your help and continued help even since moving into our new place.

Bidding wars

This company uses biding wars to pit potential tenants against one another, its such a morally bankrupt thing to do. They will likely excuse this as common practice rather than feel the deep shame that they should feel on an individual level and collectively

Kone lift told me that de take 3 weeks for repairs lift. I am living in the 5 th floor. It is difficult to go up and down. The stair is very small , as sneakers. I called to savillis , he said to me.

Absolutely shocking service

Absolutely shocking service. My husband and I finally found our dream home. I phoned the Savills office to arrange a viewing to be turned away due to alot of interest in the property and already over 20 viewings arranged. I phoned again a week later as the property was still listed on the market. I was then told that they have over 60 viewings and that they were waiting for offers. Very disappointed in this estate agent as we are fully prepared to commit and are now having to search all over again. Don't waste your time on this estate estate, total waste of time.

I have been putting this off because I…

I have been putting this off because I have always hated to complain as I have been worried about repercussions, and used to be an optimistic and reasonable person. However, given recent events I just want to highlight that people should be very cautious when thinking about using this company. The horrendous racial abuse written by one of their employees epitomizes the whole bullying culture. It won't let me give zero stars or I would. We have gone through absolute hell dealing with this company for two years. In that time we have been lied to, fobbed off, bullied, threatened, and generally treated like utter morons. Due to their continued lack of communication and intimidation they have destroyed our business, our mental health, and almost destroyed our relationship as a consequence. I am well aware that the individuals we have dealt with don't give a stuff about our lives and have come to believe that they would probably be quite relieved if we both dropped dead from stress or committed suicide. Problem solved. Please don't bother with the generic ' we take complaints seriously' rubbish because you really don't, therefore it's rather pointless contacting you. I could say a lot more but due to my mental state I just cannot be bothered.

FIRST CLASS SERVICE

I cannot say how pleased i am with the service from Suzanne James , during covid it was a very tough time to sell our house , but she was so supportive and understanding . The quality of our leads were excellent , this was down to Suzanne being very careful who she would let view our house , she does not allow anyone to waste a sellers time as she completely understands the effort that goes into getting the house ready for viewings. Moving home is very stressful and i hope to not go through it again , if we did move again we would only deal with Savilles , an amazing estate agency with first class service . If you like honest , straight talking and experience service speak to Suzanne James .

No property management and very unprofessional

Well, Where Can I start...Since my contract signature, it has been consistent issues and absolutely no action on their side- 9 months after moving I'm still waiting for an updated version of my Check-in. - Savills agent refuses to give access to my electricity cupboard for months for me to check the numbers in Checkin documents. - Savills started the cupboard reparation that never been finished leaving residents of the building accessing an electricity facility to everyone including children living in the building. - Savills doesn’t manage their property with due diligence.

Awful experience with this Company

Awful experience with this Company. I contacted them through the chat, very friendly, told me someone will be in contact, of course they never did. Contacted them again and was told the same thing but this time Jan Losch contacted me, went through details and made an appointment. This person never turned up. I contacted again and he said he was busy and apologised. He arranged another appointment and to my surprise actually showed up to review my commercial properties. Then nothing. I had to chase them up yet again and they said... We are not interested. Useless time wasting organisation. AVOID.I do not see any point in wasting any more of time.

Does Savills really have a proper customer service?

To update my review published in here on 19 May, the below is response 3 June from the company, it is robotic answer, but in fact from a real person called Jo.'We are very sorry that we fell short of your expectations, and this has been escalated with management to ensure that this delay in communication will not happen again.Once again, we do apologise for this frustration, and do appreciate you raising this so we can improve."Does it help, obviously a NO.It is not about delay in communication as Jo claimed, it is that they failed to turn up for the scheduled appointment without notification and then ignored my emails until I raised my complaint.I am speechless now! I have to address this to their CEO to find out how this has been escalated with management as Jo claimed and what actions have been put in place? I doubt.

I would avoid if thinking of letting through them, they only care about the landlord, tell lies and totally screw you over. After a 39 page inventory of an unfurnished bungalow by a very rude inventory Clark and leaving it better/cleaner than when we moved in they still thought it was acceptable to deduct £100 for x2 missing sink plugs ( £2 each from Screwfix and not re hanging some cheap curtains back up. It’s about time people stopped treating good tenants like second class citizens just because we choose to rent !!!!!

Incompetent, lazy and uncommunicative

This is based on the Savills' Islington office. We had an utterly awful experience of this company "trying" to sell my flat for three months between February-May 2021. In three months I heard almost nothing from them, had virtually no viewings and zero in terms of customer service. The few viewings they did manage to secure, were made without properly consulting us first, and invariably had to be moved or cancelled due to lack of communication. When I was finally able to talk to them after 6 weeks I was told that the property was too expensive, even though nobody had ever thought to mention this, and even when I agreed to reduce the price they did nothing whatsoever to try and get people in to see it. In the end after three months we were able to sever ties and find an agent who would actually give us proper feedback, service and customer care. Three months were completely wasted with this company - even when we left there were no emails or evidence that we'd ever been on their books or that we'd been a customer. If i could give 0 stars to them I would. Abysmal.

Property sale agreed in Islington

Property sale agreed in Islington, conveyancing process is taking place. Other than me (the owner) Savills have the only other set of keys. The buyer sends the agent a photo of an open Juliet balcony door and Savills forward me the photo this evening. I’ve not been to the property since June. Why am I only hearing about this now? It’s been over a week since Savills were last at the property and this door has never been an issue before. Savills may have cost me the sale, or at the very least caused anxiety to the buyer. My wife spoke to the agent this evening to be told that this has been an ongoing problem, and yet we are only hearing about it now. Very disappointing. At the very least, with an agent, you’d expect the property to be made secure before leaving and if it is not, you’d expect to be informed. It’s now raining and who knows what damage has been caused
