Hamptons Reigate and particularly that of Jonathan Higginson was professional, helpful & efficient in marketing my property. They obtained three offers in four weeks, compared to a previous agent who had achieved zero offers in twelve weeks. I found their whole approach to be informative and I would certainly use them again

TrustpilotHamptons Oxford & Banbury
I deal with Hamptons Oxford & Banbury and my experience so far has been very good. I live abroad and have a full management arrangement so relay heavily on good communication and timely responses to tenants issues. There has been a couple of slight frustrations in that it took well over two months to refit a front door and when it was done resulted irreparable damage to my door bell which does raise concerns over the contractors that Hamptons use. However the door bell was replaced FOC and the 10% commission fee was waived also. So I really cant fault how this issue was handled by Hamptons. I also didn't receive my rent one month and it took me to notice and highlight this to Hamptons. Over a week overdue. However again it was swiftly dealt with afterwards and no problems since. Overall I think Hamptons have been communicative, friendly and trustworthy but I would like to see improved account management and have concerns over appointment of contractors.

TrustpilotProfessional and thorough
I used the services of Hamptons in Dulwich to find tenants for my property. The manager Rebecca was very good at sourcing prospective tenants and managing the process. As in any transaction there were a few questions and concerns, but Rebecca was always honest and upfront. She worked very hard to get the best tenant for my property. I think their administration of the processes is also very good. I definitely would recommend this company, and I would also use their services again.

TrustpilotThey came highly recommended!
They came highly recommended!! After promising to communicate and keep me updated on a weekly basis, over a three month period I heard from them once.. no projections or ideas of how to produce a sale. Lap lustre and uninterested. They seemed to rely on the property selling itself for a £16000 reward. Gave 28 days notice to fulfil my side of the contract. But they had already removed my property from Rightmove, seemingly putting it back when I complained and happy to return keys 2 weeks before end of contract!! Absolutely shocking lack of industry and an example of why estate agents are not trusted!!

TrustpilotKudos to the Hamptons Rickmansworth Letting team !
For the past two years, I have been the happy tenant of a flat managed by the Hamptons Rickmansworth Lettings team, and i have to say that I am impressed by the level of professionalism and customer care delivered by Melissa Cameron and her team. All the issues i have reported to date have been dealt with in record time, and always with my satisfaction at heart. Never has a letting agent been so easy to communicate with and pro-active at resolving things. Kudos and thank you to Melissa and her team for their outstanding work ! I recommend Hamptons Rickmansworth Lettings in a heartbeat !

TrustpilotI've just sold my house with Hamptons…
I've just sold my house with Hamptons in Beaconsfield. From Dee arranging the viewing to showing my buyers around the property I cannot fault the whole experience. We were kept well informed of my buyers position throughout the price negotiations. The relatively simple sale turned into a lengthy process due to the performance of my buyers solicitor, however Nabeel pushed the sale through taking on most of my stress! Thankyou to Nabeel, Dee and the team at Beaconsfield

TrustpilotTreats every tenant like a criminal/ complete lack of joint up communication
Very frustrating experience if you are a tenant. We took out a one year tenancy. Once we agreed the tenancy the ‚systems‘ took over. Several different forms, none which seemed to correspond with each other as they came from different sources. Was sent from one Hamptons team to another so this required multiple unnecessary conversations. General tone in all communications assumes that every tenant is a criminal and needs to be intimidated. Within 2 weeks first problem occurred which took Hamptons 3 weeks to fix as they could not act on their own but basically were just a go between between us and the landlords who live abroad. At the end having checked out with all annual services having been performed (and reported) it then turns out that the deposit team does not speak to the property management team so they asked again for information that had already been provided. When I complained I got the classic reply ‚we are a different department’! Repayment of deposit being delayed unnecessarily. I have experience with other agents and Hamptons by far the worst. Hope I have never to deal with them again.

TrustpilotProperty Manager who manages
Often a property management service is at arms-length, with the "we'll get a contractor in" standard email response to any problem reported by the tenant. This PM leaves the owner to get to the bottom of an issue - what actually is/is not working? why? what's the root cause? What I value about Melanie Hudson is that she takes on the enquiry role to investigate and try to pinpoint the actual problem, and then organise a fitting solution. A property manager who manages - not just a pinger of emails!

TrustpilotExcellent property management
I have let my property with Hamptons for over 4 years and have been very impressed with the service - from the early stages of listing it to property management. I have been particularly grateful to my property manager Melanie Hudson for acting on my behalf and dealing with any issues in a timely and sensitive manner. This was especially important throughout the pandemic and Melanie was always first to keep me updated with any developments and kept her colleagues fully informed as back up. I would have no hesitation in recommending Melanie and Hamptons for the highest level of customer service combined with trust and reliability.

TrustpilotKeeping it in the Family
This is specifically a review of the Property Services department run by the amazing Katie Tucker. It is easy to eulogise about the department that shows you round your dream home or letting but just as important is what happens next! I rented an apartment from Lettings (Stratford Upon Avon) and the team there led by the Hampton's Poster Girl Mrs Barnard are just the first leg of the relay. The last leg is run by the very dry Property Management Service! Well, no race is run until the last leg is complete and Katie Tucker is gold. Katie is professional, fastidious and responsive. Katie will reply to your concerns in a New York minute and she will follow up every time to see if the remedy actually worked. Hampton's MD proclaims that they are a family and families work together! Katie Tucker personifies the brand intent.

TrustpilotHamptons Are No 1
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank the Hamptons letting team. They have been dealing with my property since the first tenant moved in till now. I would like to specifically mention Samantha Hunt, who has been amazing through the tenancy period. Her prompt replies to my email, coordination with other department and general positive attitude made the whole relationship a positive and smooth one. I want to thank her for all her cooperation in the matters related to the property and hope to continue working with her, as the industry certainly needs more individuals like her, thank you Sam and Hamptons team!

I am extremely pleased with the outstanding support and care provided by Mya Miller in resolving my property issues. Her compassion and prompt action ensured everything was handled smoothly. Mya was consistently responsive, keeping me informed every step of the way. Her empathetic approach and genuine concern were incredibly reassuring.

TrustpilotSelen Hurbas
Selen Hurbas has been managing my property for several years and her attentiveness is second to none. She always responds to emails quickly and seems to handle almost any task with great ease. Very efficient in handling communications between myself and my tenant. 5 star stuff!

TrustpilotPredatory Behaviour
Worst property management ever.This agency encourages predatory behaviour from landlords towards tenants, they provide absurd and totally pretentious quotes for deposit deductions (works that of course won’t be done while the landlord will pocket the money). It took a month before getting any update about my deposit and then I got a proposed deduction of over £650 for a minor sign on a wall and tub (which was already broken). I had a quote for a handyman to do the works (even if they are both fair wear and tear) for £180. They take advantage of vulnerable tenants who would want to go to a TDS dispute trying to scare them off doing that and blackmailing you to accept the absurd deductions. Shameful behaviour.They are also unable to deal with the most basic property management issues taking days to reply and providing unhelpful / vague answers to make you lose time and patience.Definitely to avoid all costs, I won’t ever deal with them again.I have been dealing with the Islington branch.UPDATE: After 4 months, I have obviously won the TDS dispute. Painful process to avoid getting scammed

TrustpilotThe Hamptons Deposit Manager and the TDS.
The Hamptons Deposit Manager, Camillie Solomon, was extremely helpful in handling a disputed sum by outgoing tenants. Throughout a four month period of resolving the dispute Camillie was meticulous in keeping me updated on her negotiations with the tenants and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). She did this with much courtesy and I could not have expected a more efficient and fair outcome. Thank you Camillie.

TrustpilotExcellent service
The two property managers we've had looking after our flat have both been amazing. When Sarah Sapong left her role we were concerned that the excellent service she'd offered wouldn't continue. We had nothing to worry about Thahmid Sultan has been fantastic. We have had a few issues with tenants and things needing to be repaired in the property and Thahmid has responded quickly, with interest and concern and resolved everything in a very timely manner. We couldn't be happier with the service we've received.

TrustpilotApril Keane is a star property manager
April Keane has been managing my apartment for years. She is dedicated and extremely efficient. She has always operated in a timely and accurate fashion. No matter if she had to deal with contractors, the freeholder, the other leaseholders in the building or the tenants, she has without fail achieved what she set out to do upon my instructions, but also independently, when needed. She is 100% reliable and I could not recommend her more. I am very grateful for all the problems she has solved for me. Priceless.

TrustpilotHamptons Property Manager Sarita
The Hamptons Property Management have always been a huge support to us as tenants. Especially Sarita, who I consider to be an extremely special person in this instance as she has always put our needs first. Whenever we have had property issues, she's always reassuring, extremely professional in the way she handles situations and always puts us as priority. I feel grateful that we have a property agent like her who is kind and supportive and always ready to offer help :)

TrustpilotAbove and beyond our expectations
We had a quirky house in a slow and nervous market. Mark and his team were the 4th agents we used and their effort and commitment to achieving our sale was exceptional. Thank you for everything, you went above and beyond our expectations.

TrustpilotHamptons Property Management
I have used Hamptons Property Management for over 10 years and have definitely come to expect the exceptional over that time. I never have to worry about my property, as I know whatever problems arise for the tenants or for me, Hamptons will always sort it out - quickly and efficiently. Special thanks to Angela Parn who has handled our property over the last few years, to an excellent standard.

TrustpilotHamptons Staff always Attentive
Hamptons Staff always AttentiveAlthough it sometimes occurred that issues took a little while to be solved, this was rarely the fault of the Staff at Hamptons themselves. We have been particularly fortunate to have Property Manager Joe Sanders as our contact point, and he has always tried his best to sort things out for us whenever an issue has arisen. He has been particularly good at being an equal intermediary between tenant and landlord and never made us feel as though he was only working for the landlord and didn't care at all for the tenant.Keep up the good work, and thank you Joe!

TrustpilotMy experience with our property’s manager and some of our letting agents
My experience with our property manager, Mr. Joe Sanders have always been satisfactory in terms of him being responsive, helpful, and committed. He has always tried to address our concerns in a timely manner and has a good understanding as to how effectively communicate with the landlords. In some occasions though, especially with letting agents, I’ve had some unpleasant experience which sometimes was kind of frustrating. There were some situations where one or two of the flats were vacant for relatively long period of time and I personally found it very difficult to communicate my sense of urgency with the agents. And sometimes there were different agents working on a specific flat with no effective communication channels with each other as well as with the landlords causing me send different emails to different agents discussing same matters. To me it seems there are sometimes some sort of miscommunications amongst Hamptons’ hierarchy as well as between the letting agents.

TrustpilotHamptons go above and beyond
I am just on the point of selling an apartment through Hamptons International in Berkshre West-I have rented it through Hamptons since 2018. On the whole, I have found them to be very good, especially Sales and Property Management. I wanted to particularly praise Harjeet Kaur their Property Manager for my flat-she is always so helpful and always ready to have a chat and answer any questions you may have as a new, inexperienced Landlord. Also, they really do do checks on the property at Hamptons in this area and always report back in detail.I also recommend Deborah Giacobbi in Sales. Throughout the whole process of selling the apartment-and when did that get so horrifically complicated in the UK?-Deborah has 'held our hands', chased, communicated and generally solve problems one by one. For these 2 people, I would recommend Hamptons wholeheartedly.

TrustpilotProfessional and friendly property management
We are going into the second year of renting our beautiful home through Hamptons International. Fortunately for us we have had wonderful Katie Tucker as our Property Manager. No question, query or issue has been too much trouble for her to deal with. Katie is approachable and warm, exuding professionalism and courtesy. It's not just the call or emails that we like, but her eagerness to follow up post the completion of a job to check everything is in order. She is an asset to the Hamptons team and we look forward to her continued support.
