GoogleThis has been one of the worst rental experiences we’ve ever had. I feel completely taken advantage of and would strongly advise future tenants to avoid Hamptons Kingston at all costs.
After vacating the property, which we cleaned thoroughly and left in good condition, Hamptons not only withheld our entire £2,650 deposit but came back demanding an extra £878 on top. Their so-called list of “damages” is completely unreasonable, filled with exaggerated claims for general wear and tear and minor things that any normal landlord would expect after a tenancy.
Ashley Ward, who handled the deposit matter, has been entirely biased in favour of the landlord. There’s no impartiality, just a rubber stamp on every exaggerated quote. As tenants, we were completely ignored. Instead of resolving things fairly, Ashley simply pushed through whatever the landlord demanded.
This whole process has been emotionally and financially draining. We are being made to pay for things that clearly fall under normal wear and tear or could have been resolved during tenancy if Hamptons had acted on time.
We want our full deposit returned and we reject this unfair demand to pay anything more. Do not trust this agency. They do not care about tenants, only about siding with landlords and making money off inflated charges.
Avoid Hamptons Kingston. Document everything. Don’t trust a word they say.

GoogleThe team in Surbiton were brilliant throughout. They found a great tenant with minimal delay, and guided me through the process expertly. Have dealt with a number of the major agencies and they stand out as the best.

TrustpilotAn excellent company to rent a property with!
I’ve been renting a property with this firm since 2017 and recently having run into certain financial difficulties-this company negotiated a contract which would help me manage my finances and keep the landlord happy. The exemplary and very kind service was with Renewals Consultant Sara-Louise Wood. She took into account all sides of the negotiation and worked a suitable arrangement, very quickly, in order to remove any stress. I would definitely recommend renting with Hamptons, they are worth the money you pay, and although the three different contract renewal consultants I’ve dealt with were good, Sara-Louise has been the best. A great professional yet compassionate person.

TrustpilotIt was smooth process to buy a property from Farnham Hamptons
We just bought our home with the help of the wonderful Farnham Hamptons team and honestly, they were an absolutely helpful team, especially Riccardo Sapia, and Caroline Holley. They weren't just attentive, they were truly there for us, every step of the way. Surprisingly, they even seemed to know more about the process than our own solicitors did. From answering our endless questions to smoothing out every bump we encountered, they transformed what could've been a stressful journey into something straightforward. We couldn't be more grateful for their support and professionalism. Buying a home can be tough, but it was easy with Farnham Hamptons, Great thanks to Riccardo Sapia and Caroline Holley.

TrustpilotExcellent service received to date!
I have been with Hamptons for over a year now, great service for this beautiful one bedroom studio flat in the heart of Knightsbridge. You can hear all the noise from ground level even the chatter through the windows but the flat has been worth it. The residents are simply amazing. Since then Amy Goldstein has been very much on top of the management of the property. She replies promptly and will ensure if something requires to be fixed it will be escalated. Thus far, great service received to date.

TrustpilotHave had the sad experience of them…
Gaslighting experts.Have had the sad experience of them managing my flat in Notting hill if you can call it manage…They charge huge amounts but do not deliver. Do not use Hamptons. They will try and overcharge you on repairs like triple the price.They will try and get you to pay out for things not needed then argue with you about it.They won’t be available ever when you contact them. Always on leave. Communication is a joke.The tenants they find you will not pay rent will steal and there will be little consequence.They will mock you when you complain. I’d be happy to see Hamptons stop operations altogether I have never known of a worse so called high end estate agent!Update: Hamptons reply below is a standard thing nothing else has happen! I’m going elsewhere and expect my money back!

TrustpilotStay away
Gaslighting experts. Stay away. Incompetent.When agent is informed of lack of service agent will try and tell you it’s your doing. I speak as a landlord. You pay a lot of money for management services but get the bare minimum service back. Constantly having to chase said agent in order to remind them of their job and tasks.Examples include: incorrect amounts paid out, no amount paid out, unanswered emails unanswered messages left at their local office. They’re really quick when it comes to getting their own fees but seemingly can’t be bothered when it comes to actually providing the service you pay for.When said agent is faced with complaints of said lack of service said agent will try throwing it back on you or find any excuse available. The majority of good agents has left this company and I can’t blame them.Everyday I hope things will improve but sadly it doesn’t or haven’t so far.

GoogleI'm happy to make an offer on a flat in a building that I've already seen two flats in (with other agents). They insist on physically viewing the flat before I can offer. I explain that I'm out of the country and that I know exactly the building and what the flats are like as I've seen two flats there, but they won't budge. Other agents are happy to let me take the very small risk. Super unhelpful. I'll also point out that I had to chase to get them to respond to my phone message and email.

GoogleThe most ridiculous agency I’ve ever encountered! We had seen properties in the same building identical to the one listed. We were abroad and asked to put in an offer directly and prepay the rent for over 1 year. Their lettings department would not allow it without an in person viewing, which was not possible due us being on a work trip abroad. We were offering asking price with 1 year prepayment and they wouldn’t even relay the offer to the landlord! To say that’s discrimination is an understatement! We explained multiple times we would vary all the risk of not seeing particular flat and that we had seen the ones right above and below it. Any property represented by this agency should be aware that their policies are preventing offers from being put forward to landlords!

GoogleWe had one week to sell our house after seeing a rarely available house that we loved come on the market through Hamptons. Peter proposed a competitive pricing strategy which we followed and Paul, Zoe and Jackie packed in viewings right up to the last minute. We ended up with multiple offers over asking price after 6 days on the market which enabled us to present an offer on our purchase property before the offer deadline. The increased sale price meant we could increase our bid on our purchase property and we had our offer accepted amongst a sea of offers. Paul managed the sale and purchase process and kept up communication throughout so we knew what was happening at every step and both sale and purchase went through without any significant bumps. We’re very happy customers and thoroughly recommend Hamptons!

TrustpilotGreat experience with Alex at Hamptons, Earlsfield
I have recently sold my house through Alex at Hamptons in Earlsfield. It’s a stressful experience and there’s always niggles, issues to solve and I found Alex to be highly responsive, engaging and solution oriented. There was no overselling/promising, just great comms and a straightforward approach. I have sold a number of houses and flats through other agents and this was by far the smoothest experience due in large part to Alex!
