Seymours Estate Agents Knaphill reviews

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

If only it gave an option to leave not a single star……Where to even begin with this business. I’m glad to see their most recent review is fitting of my post and I’m only too pleased to carry on where the last post finished.Seymour’s Camberley are a disgusting, shameful representation of an estate agent who repeatedly fell well short of their promise. After taking their advice to market our property a little over two weeks in with no viewings confirmed and no contact until prompted from them we receive an email suggesting we need to reduce the value of our property by £10,000.After querying this we then received an incredibly rude phone call from the office manager. We subsequently parted ways with Seymour’s and were advised only when arriving atthe office that our key had already been put in our letterbox, what a waste of time.Having later checked the letterbox only to discover our keys were not in their and they had no explanation as to why this had occurred, again portraying to us that they are not the business they show themselves to be and one that has left a terribly bitter taste in my mouth.For anyone reading this post please think twice before approaching them as a business and make sure you do investigate using another agent over Seymour’s.

Extremely poor service - Camberley Lettings Department

Extremely poor service from the Camberley lettings department. Been chasing about viewing a property and was told I would receive a call back the next day. I’ve rung every day since only to be told that the letting agents are ’all out on viewings’ and that a message would be taken. Again I haven’t heard anything. They are now not answering the phone or replying to emails.

Seymours gave me and my family exceptional and personal service throughout a long and difficult sale. Their service was reliable, friendly and professional. They gave honest, fair and realistic advice which was particularly valuable as the housing market became quite turbulent during this time. Through their negotiations we concluded the sale with all parties happy with the final outcome.

Damp, mould, rodent infested properties.

AFter a years of living in a damp/mould/rodent infested property that was falling apart quite literally, emailing them every few days practically begging for repairs to be made to no avail. After contacting the council to in an attempt to force themTo actually make repairs. After the council giving hem 6 weeks to carry the works out. 6 months later - none don the jobs were completed.Now they are trying to extort money fromMy deposit because of damage their lack of repairs has caused. Avoid Seymour’s like the plague. Staff are incompetent. Once you’ve asked for repairs to be done you willBe treated like a second class citizen.Despite my partner and I sticking to the terms of the agreement - Seymour’s wouldn’t stick to their end and make the home habitable for human habitation.Absolutely disgusting

Lightwater Office

The team at the Lightwater office kept us informed through the initial stages and subsequent viewings. They achieved a lot of viewings in a short period. Krisy Ehret our client relationship manager once offer accepted was outstanding in her support.

Disgusting property - bunch of extortionists.

Both Seymour’s and the landlord didn’t maintain the property when my partner and I lived here. Damp/mould issues...constant water leaks into the property...never got addressed...rat/mice infestation the landlord refused to do anything about.Has to write a letter to the council - the council gave them a notice to complete all works within 6 weeks. They didn’t do it . The council didn’t offer any more solutions either. Now I’ve left the property the landlord has the audacity to try and extort money from my deposit. For damage that I haven’t caused.Disgusting .Long story short if you want a decent experience/customer service /to live in a property that is in line with the human ha oration act 2008 don’t use Seymour’s and don’t rent 47 courtenay road unless you want serious health consequences.

A relaxed purchase

The experience from viewing to completion was very relaxed, they assisted with the negotiation and all my questions were answered quickly. A sale by beneficiaries can be difficult but it was clear thy had an excellent rapport with the vendor. Being new to the area all their recommendations were very helpful which help with a very speedy completion. Definitely a five star experience

Avoid Seymours at all costs

Avoid Seymours at all costs. They are quick enough to take your money and then cling onto it when you move out. We moved into our property in October 2020 and had nothing but problems. Problem after problem, no hot water, no bath plug, a shower curtain where the pole fell down every time you got in, blocked drains, broken windows, no heating, no lights in bathroom, no extractor fan and the list goes on. We moved out 2 weeks ago and still awaiting our deposit. They have gone round and said we are liable and will be charged for things that were already there. It’s funny how Seymour’s do the check in report so they don’t note anything down, whereas the checkout report is done by an external company. Why’s that? Oh to find any reason to not give us our deposit back. We moved out because our windows never worked when we moved in. I reported the problem early March stating the windows do not open and we moved out last week of September and still had no indication what was going on with the windows. We have a 1 year old child and to live in a flat where the windows didn’t open was not on. Not only was this illegal as was deemed a fire escape from the fire service, we were not offered any air con units or any fans. The landlord accepted a 25% reduction in rent but what’s that when we were living in a sweat box. A few of our neighbours didn’t have anything nice to say about Seymour’s and I totally see why. I will never ever rent or buy through Seymour’s and I wish I listened to the reviews before we went with Seymour’s.

Seymours have been brilliant from beginning to end. They’re super fast responsive team have made one of the most stressful experiences of life very straightforward. As first time buyers and having no clue where to start or what on earth was going on, Seymours were very knowledgeable and made everything easy to understand. The process was smooth and they were massively supportive. Thank you Seymours.

Brilliant service from beginning to end. Ben valued the property within one day of call. Marketing material was impressive and very professionally produced. Property sold at very good price within 4 days. Josh took over from there. He liaised directly with the local solicitor acting on our behalf. He kept in constant contact and kept all parties on board throughout. He accompanied all viewings, as we were unable to be there. He even stepped in and oversaw the house clearance when the company arrived early and we were "parked" on the M25.Superb service. Ultra efficient and totally professional.Great company.

Andrew White and the team at Seymours, Knaphill have done a great job in selling our last two properties in Knaphill. They have a great knowledge of the local area and the local market, and have all the experience necessary to find the right buyer for your property. Seymours found the perfect buyer for our last property, were helpful, communicative and professional throughout the whole process and we cannot thank them enough.

Whole team worked to see things through.

Phone always answered promptly by someone who knew what was going on. Felt that the whole team was trying to help things through. Once they'd got the sale, having Sandra, the client relationship manager, to make sure everything completed was a huge help.

Thank You Seymours

Fab team at Seymours, super helpful. Our property fell through due to problems with the buyers. Seymours surpassed our expectations and had another buyer in place and able to proceed within the week. Amazing service, very professional and helped us all the way throughout the process and kept all the plates spinning on our behalf to ensure we completed on schedule. We can't thank the team enough, without them we certainly would not have been able to move home. We would (and have) highly recommend Seymours to anyone wishing to buy or sell their property.

Highly recommended

My experience with Seymour’s has been great from my first contact with them. The team worked hard to get potential buyers through the door which led to finding a buyer.They continue to keep in touch through the selling process to ensure that all goes as smoothly as possible.I highly recommend them.

From the start of deciding to move from our current sales agent to Seymours, they have been excellent from the word go. They really did deliver what they promised, my house was sold within the first week of viewings and just after lockdown. The uncertainty in the current market did make me quite nervous but Seymours were always reassuring. They are very responsive and dealt with issues professionally and promptly. The entire team are really an asset to the company, I would definitely recommend using Seymours to anyone in their local and surrounding areas.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Friendly, Professional, Efficient, Fantastic

The team at Seymours were able to find us a buyer (at asking price) very quickly after a few months with no luck under a different estate agent. Their sales and client relations team are all extremely professional and friendly and explain things in leyman's terms for those of us who have little knowledge of how property sales work! The team looked after us from start to finish and were friendly and approachable throughout, and also helped us to agree on a nice early exchange and completion for our sale. I would thoroughly recommend Seymours if you are looking to buy or sell your property.

Horrendous experience with Seymours!

Review of Seymours!Have had a bit of an ordeal trying to break a tenancy (that is allowed in our agreement subject to T's & C's). The noise in the property above our rental is affecting my work, sleep, mental health & wellbeing and comfort. In addition the hubbys been furloughed and we need to leave. Have been round and round in circles with a Seymours Property Manager asking for her to contact the Landlord to propose our exit. This is our right as a tenant and we asked early March for the Landlord to be contacted. After emailing twice this week we've been told that the Landlords been contacted and they've asked if we have spoken to our neighbours re. noise. We had to chase for the response, we have repeatedly told Seymours that we have spoken to the neighbours and nothing can be done re. noise due to the make of the building. We have had to repeat ourselves continuously and chase for a response. Update: in the last 24 hours communication has improved. Hubby has gone into the Surbiton office, they've been extremely helpful and have given us more context to the situation which is fantastic because we felt like we were being heard and things are moving in a positive direction.The response below from Seymours was also very prompt and detailed. I hope the good communication can continue.Further update July 2021Communication did not improve unfortunately. Continued to be extremely poor even after the reply to this post. We accepted a tenancy in another property and brought forward our moving date at SEYMOURS instruction as they'd told us they had a tenant needing to move into our property early. Then 7 days before our tenancy was meant to end we were told we'd need to cover the rent for another month as the tenant couldn't move when they'd advised. So we were having to pay rent twice now at SEYMOURS instruction even after informing them that my husband was furloughed.In addition they've returned part of our deposit and without our consent they've taken money from our deposit. Awful experience. Couldn't be less professional if they tried.I will avoid this company in the future and I recommend you let and purchase property elsewhere...

Caring people

I've being dealing with the Seymours team in the Guildford office (I've dealt with other offices in the past as well) selling my elderly mothers property that I grew up in. The sale was obviously an emotional one as the home has been in the family for nearly 50 years! They weren't just a business, they were people who actually cared for our emotions. Fantastic all round and I couldn't be more appreciative - Thank you so very much.

We were lucky enough to be buying a house that was being sold through Seymours recently. From the first viewing staff were professional and polite. When we put in our offer the team were amazing, and kept in touch, reassuring us about the process because we were first time buyers. They really impressed me because they periodically checked in with us to keep us up to date on what was happening which was so reassuring. I would definitely recommend working with Seymours, especially as first time buyers, because they were supportive and spelled everything out for us! Thank you!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism
