Withheld my deposit

Withheld my deposit. I left the place cleaner than I found it. Difficult and unprofessional in the checkout process. Shame as prior to that Jack and Julia were very helpful.

Excellent Customer Service from Jocelyn Williams…

Jocelyn Williams has recently taken over the management of my property. I would definitely recommend Hamptons and in particular Jocelyn. She is consistently attentive to both landlord and tenant. I am very impressed with the speed of dealing with situations and actioning items that need addressing. Well done!

Can I just say how easy it is to deal with Hamptons. As a company they are polite, professional, very friendly, and get the job done with absolutely no hassle at all. Rebecca Hitchman has been a pleasure to work with and I look forward to building that relationship on any/all future business.

Rude, disrespectful and arrogant.

The sales agent is extremely rude, disrespectful and messes us around. We had kept several days free in order to have viewings, and in the last minute, they said the viewings will not happen. On top of that, they promised to show us properties, and last minute had additional requests on what we need to provide them with - for a simple viewing only !

Hamptons letting service

I have been letting out my property with Hamptons using their fully managed service. I spend a lot of time abroad and have peace of mind that both, the house and the tenants are being cared for. Amelia, who is dealing with the maintenance issues is proactive, efficient and professional. She managed major works at the property in between lettings efficiently and has a keen eye for detail. The rest of the lettings team at Hamptons are all knowledgeable and good people to deal with. I highly recommend them to any landlords.

Feedback on Gemma Ward as property manager

Gemma Ward is an extremely efficient property manager, always responding promptly to my requests / instructions and dealing with contractors effectively with a great deal of patience and perseverence. I wish she had always been my property manager for my flat.

All-around awful agency...

I had a terrible experience two times over with Hamptons.The first was the Clapham branch which failed to inform me for weeks of any update after placing an offer during the final stages for a place to rent. I had to personally reach out two weeks post submitting the offer to be told I had lost out. Seems a little slack for me.Then the worst of it, the Pimlico Branch, particularly an agent accurately named Henry Douch. I wrote to this one four times in order to get one simple viewing for a flat I was very keen on, just across the road from me. After finally managing to get one, he had absolutely zero knowledge or information on the apartment and seemed to "wing" the details, of which I knew more of from the advert. Despite that, the apartment was beautiful and so I followed up by requesting an offer form on numerous occasions, even though he said he'd send it right over after the viewing. Then, after putting in a very generous offer (£200 above asking price, almost perfect move-in date, long tenancy, etc.) I again had no response for over a week and so had to follow-up even more times. After getting worn out from the incomprehensibly poor communication, I decided to visit in branch to confront him. "A rabbit caught in headlights" wouldn't even justify it. I was told he was "just replying to my email" (yuh-huh) and then proceeded to offer me a multitude of excuses as to why it was taking so long and that he'd keep me informed. Finally, after not being informed yet again, I went ahead and chased some more. He surprisingly replied instantly this time to tell me that the property had been "removed from the market with no reasons from the landlord." Knowing this was a complete lie, I decided to visit the initial ad on Rightmove to discover that the property was now "Let Agreed" (posted by Hamptons) which leads me to believe he never even put my offer forward in the first place for whatever ulterior motive he may have had, so I lost out on my ideal flat with only 2 weeks remaining to find another one. Overall, absolutely appalling service and will never deal with these guys again. How there is not more protection around this kind of misconduct is beyond me.

Hamptons is an excellent agency

I have rented out my property through Hamptons for several years and frankly, they are fantastic. In particular, Andrew Walker was very helpful and professional with all the new legislation and was always on hand to call me back and follow up on any concerns. First class agency. Highly recommended.

Terrible Agents

I bought my flat via Hamptons and later used them as management agents when letting it out but have had constant issues with them throughout. I really would avoid using them at all costs. I find my property manager incredibly lazy and difficult to contact. I regularly have to resolve issues myself and have to spell everything out to my property manager. Whilst my property manager was on annual leave I had a colleague of hers cover however she knew absolutely nothing about the property and tried to charge me for the tenants broken TV. They do not act in the interest of the landlord and look for the quickest fix to a problem to get it off their plate. I was charged £200 overall for 2 boiler safety checks that I was harassed into organising because “legally” they were required. I found out that these checks were NOT required by law because the boiler had just been installed and this lead to a delayed start to my tenancy. I received about 6 aggressive missed calls whilst I was at work from Hamptons to harass me into paying for these visits. Every minimum charge for a “recommended” tradesman to attend my property comes in at exactly £100 so Hamptons are uplifting these costs on top of the fees I pay. I really have very little faith in them and can’t wait for my tenancy to end. More recently I received a court summons notice for unpaid council tax that I was not made aware of because Hamptons didn’t send me any of the prior notices.

Amazing service is an understatement

We've been renting through the Hamptons for the past 4 years. Our contract was due to expire soon, and we were unsure whether to stay or find something else, possibly for a bit less money. It's been a super stressful 2 months for us, and we were unsure if we would be able to find something else on time. We've been dealing with our property managers, Patryk Lehmann and his colleague Darren Salmon. They were both extremely helpful and patient with us. They worked their magic to assist us, and indeed they did. Their massive help made the whole process super easy and stress-free for us. We were even able to stay at the same property. Absolutely amazing and outstanding customer service from both of them.

Avoid renting with Hamptons as your agent if possible

Whilst they handled most complaints during the tenancy well and efficiently, it became clear at the end of the tenancy that their business model on the lettings side was based on trying to take as much of your deposit as possible, hoping you didn't object so they made money from you, and then when they relented on the absolutely outrageous charges they look like they are behaving "reasonably" by "allowing some charges to be dropped". Whilst at all times we offered to pay for the things we thought were fair, they tried to charge us £200 for a gardening charge which the landlord told us they didn't even employ a gardener for, and £100 for a cleaning fee for about 4 items that on the inventory needed "one final dust". They tried to charge us for items that weren't even in the original inventory and chastised us for not spending enough on the cleaning fee and asked why we didn't get the carpet steam cleaned, even though we didn't have a carpet. When we didn't agree to the charges, they threatened to take us to a tribunal for all of the original charges (around £600) even though they had already agreed to drop them. The final claim we reluctantly settled upon was around £180 so it goes to show how much of the original was made up in the hope they could make a quick buck through threatening behaviour. If you find yourself in this situation then please do not accept the charges as I am sure that if you had to go to the TDS even the "compensatory" charges the landlord is apparently able to claim for some dust 3 weeks after the event would not be something that could be enforced. Crooks.

Thank you Hamptons and Melanie.

It has been pleasant experience being with Hamptons and particularly Ms Melanie, the property manager, she is very thoughtful and efficient. I am grateful having her over last couple of years. Meanwhile, I would also like to point out that I never really prefer the monthly statement generate by Hamptons, rather than receiving three separate ones, it would be much better to have all combined one to review each month. Understand it is the system produced and not manually can alter it, thus I believe the software / system then should be adjusted to be more flexible. Thank you very much.

Ben Constantinou - Unprofessional

Ben Constantinou - Unprofessional, forgetful, unorganisedCanary Wharf BranchWe were ready to make an offer to rent a property. We emailed him an offer an hour after our viewing at noon. Then at the evening, I called him again to say yes we would like to make an offer. We were then told to wait for some offer documents that he said he was going to send me "in 15 minutes". Never received them and the property was let agreed the next day without a single notice to me. Only found out by myself by checking the Rightmove website. Still no notice/call or whatever the following next day to my partner whom he dealt with directly. Amazing service. Shame on them because I was ready to offer a price way above the asking price.
