We sold our flat with Hamptons Clapham and could not be happier with the service received. Jordanna, Cameron, Will and Ryan were all delightful to work with. Friendly, organised, responsive and always providing very useful advice with regards to the market and our sale strategy. We could not recommend them enough and would not hesitate to go back to them if ever needed in the future.

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.

Sana Uddin is a very effective client rep at Hamptons.I highly recommend her. The group has represented my landlord for the past 8 years and has been most responsive. I feel quite lucky to have them!

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.

I've been a landlord working with Hamptons for 10+ years. The property managers have always been very easy to work with, professional and helpful. Our current property managers, Anca Ciobanu and Evans Obinna have been great in helping with some tricky issues.
Hi Kate, we are delighted that you enlisted Hamptons Estate and Letting Agents Clapham and that the service you received was of exceptional standard. Thank you for your great review, we look forward to sharing it with the team!

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.
It is fantastic to hear Melanie has provided you with an efficient service and we look forward to sharing your review with her. We have noted your feedback about the statements and will ensure they are passed onto the relevant Lettings Director. Thank you again.

Happy with Hamptons Richmond
A very positive experience with Sheila at Hamptons Richmond, which allowed me to secure a rental property in Richmond (that I absolutely love) within 2 days! I would highly recommend Sheila for her communication and transparency.

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.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We have addressed this matter with Ben and unfortunately there seems to have been some miscommunication. Ben was under the impression from what was discussed on the viewing that you had other properties to consider and were interested in different areas to the one you viewed with us. Please accept our apologies for any confusion, Ben was expecting to hear from you after you had completed your other viewings but please do contact him should you wish to make an offer, he and the team will be more than happy to help.

Hamptons are excellent quality
Hamptons are reliable, professional and a fantastic quality service. All the team I have interacted with have put the customer at the center of what they do. They went above and beyond expectations and I’m 100% comfortable my property is in good hands. Thanks to Holly, Catherine, Angela, Bethany for your service and support.

Keep up the good work !
Really impressed with the overall quality of service ! My journey with Hamptons started with Jack Quoroll from the lettings dept at Rickmansworth who perfectly understood my criteria and has been very pro-active in his search for the ideal property. It went on really well with Richard Rounding, property Manager, who replies, follows up and sorts maintenance issues by sending his team right away. It is so nice to know that you have a team in place and that your property is actually being looked after, in the most professional way. Keep up the good work guys !
Thank you for your review, we are delighted to receive your feedback and look forward to making Jack, Richard and the team aware.

Hamptons are managing the letting of my central Bath apartment
Hamptons are managing the letting of my central Bath, 3 bed apartment. I am more than happy with the service I receive, the team are always contactable and they respond promptly to all tenant and landlord (myself) enquiries. I am kept fully informed of any issues and I am happy to leave them to deal with any repairs, which they do calmly and efficiently, in particular by Melanie Hudson.Hamptons also find and vet tenants for the property well in advance, I am not therefore exposed to unnecessary voids.The signing process is straightforward online, and the tenancy agreement, in my case, is tailored for my property.The Bath office is very central and friendly, particularly should I visit, as I don't always make appointments beforehand.All in all a very worthwhile service that I would recommend.
Thank you for leaving us a review, it is brilliant to hear both our processes and service have been 5*s. We look forward to sharing your kind feedback with our Bath team.

Hamptons are bullies
We are in a nightmare situation renting at Compton Verney through Hamptons in Stratford. We feel as though we are being held hostage in a house that has had (and continues to need) extensive work done on it from the first week. This includes everything from mould, electrics and heating, to walls crumbling, unsafe water tank to walls being removed due to a shower leak behind a wall that had been happening prior to us moving in! And the problems continue. We have been begging to be Released from our contract but they are trying to penalize us over £4000 pounds! We are currently seeking legal advice and are curious to know if others have done so.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We take customer service very seriously and are disappointed to hear you are experiencing difficulties at Compton Verney. Rest assured, we treat any concerns raised very seriously and I can see our Associate Director, Polly, has already been in communication with you , with regards to your tenancy. I trust Polly has been able to provide you with some clarity and will support you in bringing this matter to a close for both you and Landlord. Thank you again.

A really excellent service
A really excellent service. Staff were very professional, polite and really listened to our brief, when it came to finding the ideal tenants. I would like to make particular mention of Renae, who always had a smile on her face, and could not have been more more helpful. She found us the perfect tenants. The property was let quickly, and has attracted the rent we were wanting. Many thanks Hamptons. I would recommend you to anyone!
Thank you for your review, we are delighted to receive your feedback and look forward to sharing this with Ranae and the team.

stay away from Hamptons
I am writing this review to tell you that I am deeply disappointed with my experience so far with Hamptons Estate and Management Company. My partner and I moved into our property in The Baynards on 31 October and a number of issues that were agreed via email before our move have not occurred or been put into place. These issues include:1. Putting in the written contract something different to what we had previously agreed, namely repainting only the hallway and not the entire flat (as was previously verbally agreed with the letting agent from the estate company). As a result of this, we have repainted the main bedroom and living room, at our personal expense. 2. Leaving unwanted items in the flat, that should have come unfurnished. This includes a chest of drawers that we haven't had permission to dispose of, despite having flagged it up as a problem the first time we saw the flat (before moving in). We have even offered to dispose of this furniture at our personal expense but have not received the permission to do so. 3. A number of maintenance issues that have taken a long time to resolve and with no visibility or communication about timeline. We have previously contacted you about a number of concerns at the property, for example issues with the boiler, windows, air conditioning, and balcony door. We have received responses stating that these matters will be investigated, but without any further communication about the result of the investigations.4. We have asked several times for the annual report on the air conditioning, including before the contract was agreed, however this has never been sent to us and we have no verification that this report was ever made. We have subsequently asked for this report- numerous times - but without receiving anything.5. We have also complained and contacted you numerous times about the mould growing on the curtains in the entire flat and on the windows, which were not in clean and tidy conditions, and this has not been addressed. This is a serious health hazard and we are very disappointed at the lack of attention to this potentially dangerous problem. We have personally removed the mould on the windows and taken the curtains off, to attempt to get them dry cleaned, but were unable to get them professionally cleaned because of the age of the curtains (we were told that the curtains would very likely disintegrate if attempt was made to clean them, due to their age and poor condition). We have replaced the curtains in the bedroom at our own expense.We have even offered again, as before, to dispose of this furniture at our personal expense but have not received the permission to do so (we reported it the 12th of December and we are still waiting for the Landlord decision as of the 5th of January). 6. When we agreed to the contract we accepted the landlord’s request of a break closure in the contract. We did that on the condition that the above concerns were dealt with. They have not been dealt with, despite the agreement to do so and despite multiple requests to Hamptons’ management, and we still have a number of issues outstanding without the prospect of a solution. We always pay our rent on time, and we are paying a considerable amount of money on a weekly basis to live at this property. We have lived in The Baynards for 5 years, in a different property, and never previously had any issues with the estate and management company or landlord. Our recent experience was completely unexpected, and we are very upset with how we have been treated so far. Before we signed the contact, our communication with the landlord was very prompt, but since we have signed the contract we have been ignored and nothing has been done.I would strongly advised against renting a property that Hamptons manage if you don't want to face similar grief.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We treat customer service very seriously and are extremely disappointed to hear about your experience. We would be grateful if you would afford us the opportunity to investigate this matter further and therefor invite you to contact customercare@hamptons-int.com who will ensure these issues are investigated in line with our procedures. Thank you again, we do hope we are able to bring your concerns to a positive close.
