Really bad experience

They made us wait until the 10th day after our check-out before telling us that £90 would be deducted from our deposit for bags of garden waste to be taken away. There was no proof that we had left this, by the way. I appreciate that the deposit release is most probably the landlord's decision, but in our case the landlord was a 'family friend' of Hamptons and it's hard to believe that they had no influence in this.During our time at their property, there were certain problems that they caused for us but when I asked for compensation at the end, they refused. It's funny how they can keep money from your deposit despite having no proof of the thing they accuse you of, but when it comes to them paying out money for problems they caused, they can get away with it.The biggest problem we had at their property was that there were broken and creaky floorboards above us. This issue caused us massive problems. We rarely had any peace and lost lots of hours of sleep because of it. Hamptons never once offered to do anything about this problem. They didn't even offer to come and listen to it for themselves. They would fix the easy problems but when it came to something more complex like this, they wanted to have nothing to do with it. It was basically 'speak to your neighbours and the council as it's a civil matter', when obviously the problem was with the structure of the building.At the time of writing this, the property we rented for almost 2 years is under offer for close to half a million pounds. To think that the landlord tried to keep £90 from us for something so petty, it's really hard to believe.

Strong in Management

Hamptons have been managing my UK house now for 4 years. They are thorough, professional and have always gone the extra mile for me. I can highly recommend.

Fantastic Service

Hamptons International and specifically Jacob Forster were amazing during our recent house move. We moved just before Christmas so it was a very difficult time of year to line everything up for the move to happen. Jacob Forster was great, he kept the lines of communication going and liaised with all parties to facilitate the move. If it wasn't for Jacob I very much doubt that the move would have gone through in such a timely manner.

We used Hamptons from 2019-2020 for…

We used Hamptons from 2019-2020 for renting a property in Honeybourne, Worcestershire (we were tenants). They were excellent. If there was any issues they were solved promptly and with great communication. At the end of the lease, we employed a poor cleaning company and the property was not handed back in the condition we aspired to. Hamptons staff were great with us. We had been let down by a cleaning 'contractor' but Hamptons ensured the new tenant moved in on time and kept us in the loop as we were (by then) living in France. They employed their own cleaning team.Many thanks to Melanie and all the staff.

Ashley Jeanes Marlborough Area Property Manager

I have been working with Hamptons for the past 7 years. I have worked with many other Estate/Lettings agents prior to this and I have to say none come close to Hamptons in terms of friendliness, professionalism and overall knowledge of their industry.The Residential Lettings department who I deal with daily are always on the ball. I deal with several tenants and landlords every day and hear nothing but praise for all the residential lettings team and especially Ashley Jeanes who is my regular contact and first point of contact for both tenants and landlords when any maintenance issues arise. Nothing is too much trouble and every situation is dealt with swiftly and efficiently which means happy tenants and happy landlords!

Highly professional and polite

Highly professional and politeI used Hamptons Guildford for the sale of my property and it was by far the best experience of selling a property I have had. I had the pleasure of working with Hayley Thorning and Ella Smith. They are both highly professional, incredibly polite and very knowledgeable. Hayley and Ella were exceptional throughout and really helped the whole process along in what was a very difficult housing market. Highly recommended, 5 STAR!

Friendly process let down a little by timescale

Our heating and hot water broke down with a boiler fault. Contacted Hamptons and Max was swift to reply at 8.40am. Engineers were called the same day. I let Hamptons know the problem and the next day the simple repair was approved and fixed the day after that.The only reason I didn't give a 5 is that for such a simple repair it seems unfortunate that the process left us without heating for 60hrs when the cheap and basic part was even in stock with the repairer company 4 miles from the house.Max was exemplary throughout the process but it seemed long-winded for such a simple repair. I'm just grateful the part didn't need ordering. In truth it should and could have been fixed the same day.

I am an approved Hamptons International contractor but also rent a property form Hamptons International. Rebecca at Rickmansworth is an absolute pleasure to work with and is great at solving any problems that arise. I would recommend Hamptons International, and particularly Rebecca, in a flash! As a tenant I know that I am completely satisfied with the service they offer and as a contractor I know that Rebecca and the team do a great job for the landlords that they look after.

Job Well Done

We have recently completed a property sale through the Hamptons International office in Stratford-upon-Avon. During this process Jacob Forster was our Senior Sales Negotiator. The transaction was complex and there were many times when the processes were stalled for a variety of reasons. We were fortunate that Jacob was able to perform under such pressures in a very professional manner which allowed the sale to be finalised within increasingly tight deadlines. Without any doubt, Jacob’s tenacity and his ability to communicate effectively at all levels within the chain, greatly helped the successful completion of the sale.

Bad for tenants and bad for landlords

Listen to the bad reviews and avoid this agency. They are a big messy organisation whose incompetence has consequences for both tenants and landlords.The property I moved in had a damaged window and a damaged balcony door (they can’t be closed, which leaves in cold, dampness, draft, insects (plenty of dead insects near those doors) which is strange considering it’s a new build, high standard property, but anyway. I made an offer on the condition that these be fixed before I move in and this was put in the contract. Not only were the issues not fixed, even though I checked with them every week to get updates, there were other issues too like a missing smoke detector, broken cupboard door, broken tap, leaking sink, etc. But by far the worst issue remain the windows, which can’t be closed and have made the apartment damp, cold, and there’s a strong draft. The engineer who came to have a look again said he told Hamptons about needing to replace the balcony door months ago, which is why I say they’re bad for landlords too. They won’t care about maintaining what was a very nice apartment and have exposed it to all kind of risks like exposure to weather and dampness, the missing smoke detector, etc. I’ve received a lot of conflicting information during my interactions with them, with one person at some point telling me they weren’t aware of any issues with the windows, even though one of their own agents came and got stuck with that balcony door for long after the viewing was over.There was also a lot of confusion about how they handle contracts, where different people gave me different answers, and just an overall frustrating experience. But the issue remains the the windows and balcony door aren’t fixed and the contractor looking into the repair said it would take 6-12 weeks and they haven’t even heard back from the company that needs to send them the parts, then on top of that however long it takes to recondition the apartment and get rid of the damp and cold, is not something any tenant should be expected to have to deal with. 3 months of cold and dampness when this isn’t a low end, old property. I also feel sorry for the landlord because I’m sure he had no part in this and they let his property get into this state. I’ll be looking to end my contract.

Great Property Management Experience

We have had a great experience with Shahena our property manager (as well as Annabel who helped while Shahena was out on leave). They have always been prompt and communicative as things have come up with our flat, but our big test came after the basement of our flat flooded following a big storm where they have done a great job getting it remedied and keeping us updated on the Progress.

I dealt with Amelia at the Windsor office and had a great experience when we had to undergo some major changes before new tenants started. There was lots of communication, and relevant options for us to consider, and it was dealt with well. I did have to fight to get a few of the quotes down to an acceptable minimum, and I was also incorrectly refunded rent on two occasions, but otherwise the service was really good.

I want to preface that while I did not get a flat, my concern is rather how it was handled. I was supposed to have a viewing two Saturdays ago, that I had arranged a couple of days before. However, after calling in that morning, as I had not recieved any information, I found out that the viewing was never recorded and it would not be happening. The lady on the phone rescheduled for the following Tuesday. The agent I met with was nice, showed me around, and told me that she really needed to rent a place for some reason or other. That made me happy, seeing as I've been searching for a while and also needed a property, my inital thoughts were that we could help eachother out. After paying the deposit, signing the initial documents, and communicating with the agent while at work (and trust me that's not easy, but that's how much I wanted this), the day after I was told that the landlord had changed their mind. Nothing anyone can do about that, the agent proposed a different property that I went to view the same day, I met a colleague there who shoed me around, who specificaly told me that any viewings they may have at this propert are scheduled for the followign day. He was nice, and again everything seemed like a done deal. My agent said she's spoken to the landlord and explained my situation, I agreed to a longer contract. Some time later they let me know that in fact there had been another viewing that same day, and that the landlord had gone with their offer. This time the agent did not take interest in showing me other properties, became slower at replying to emails, she was going to show me some properties after I specifically sent them to her, but you could tell she wasn't willing. This was 5 days ago, 4 days ago I asked for my deposit back, yesterday I called in to see what's happening. I still do not have a reply about where it is and why it hasn't been transfered back. While I understand that it takes time for banks to process the money, I, at least, expect an email saying it is on its way and when I should expect it. Overall (tl-dr), I cannot blame the firm for not finding a flat, but the way it was treated, the missinformation, the misscomunication between the agent and the landlords, the fact that I still don't know where my money is, it all seems unprofessional. Update: 6 days ago I orignally asked for my deposit back, 3 days ago I called to chase up on it and got no response. Yesterday I called in, quite upset, and finally got an email response saying that my deposit will be processed the same day. Hopefully it'll reach my bank account soon. Shame the way this whole issue was dealth with.

Hamptons' team makes it a great and efficient company. Special and extra thanks to Tia Gooden.

The most unique quality is in managing to always find a proper balance between interests of all sides involved, leaving everybody happy. Tia Gooden is highly recommended as a fantastic professional. Personally this made the experience with Hamptons an easy and enjoyable one.

We have been very impressed at how professional the approach has been when needing things fixed through Lockdown. We have had a number of Property Managers since starting our tenancy, Melanie Hudson is by far the best! She is personable, professional and highly efficient! A massive thanks is required and she's a pleasure to deal with. After having some horrible experiences with lettings companies and property managers, it is a breath of fresh air. :)

Reliable, Professional, and willing to walk the extra mile.

Hamptons has helped us both in purchasing and managing our property. Their service is Professional. They are systematic, well structured and organized, yet accommodative and patient. They respond in good time and are always willing to be engaged with clients for other options to resolve problems. Willing to walk the extra mile to get results. Good management. We are deeply thankful to Victoria Beckett and her team of staff Grace, Anna, Molly and others who have all ably helped us to solve all our problems since 2021.

Helpful estate agents that went the extra mile

We dealt with Sharon James at Hamptons when we rented a property last month - she came across honest and down to earth. She was always punctual and organised when sorting out everything we needed from viewings to getting all the referencing checks sorted. When one of our checks failed, she went the extra mile to sort it out for us and so luckily we still got the rental property, when it seemed at one point like it was going to fall through. I'd recommend working with Sharon again.

Dishonest

Why was i told by a Hamptons agent in West Hampstead that Countrywide has nothing to do with Hamptons when they are apart of the group and it states on the Hamptons site at the bottom of the page (Hamptons is a trading name of Countrywide Estate Agents Limited) Hamptons Estates Limited is an agent and subsidiary of Countrywide Estate Agents Limited and even have the same registered office. Why was i told a mistruth by your agent?
