TrustpilotFirst time buyers experience
Ian at Seymour’s Knaphill made our first time buying experience an enjoyable and very non stressful one which is often unheard of! Everything ran very smoothly, he and the whole team are hard working, reliable and very knowledgeable. I felt reassured throughout and couldn’t recommend enough. Thank you to Ian and the team, we love our new home!

TrustpilotPoor Service
Throughout a three year rental, all admin for problem resolution was with the tenant with lack of support from the agency. A shattered window remains unresolved after nearly 4 months with blame attributed to the external contractor they selected. After ending the tenancy the viewings process for new tenants involved daily emails from multiple team members requesting access within 24 hours

Seymour's have been great from start to finish, the communication has been excellent and I feel that I have been supported throughout my selling and purchasing experience with them. What has been really helpful is having a client relationship manager (Krisy) who co-ordinates everything for you, speaks to all parties in the chain and takes the stress away. She has been a great source of information to me and I would 100% recommend and would not hesitate to use in the future

TrustpilotAvoid for your own safety
Like many of the other rental customers who have left reviews I urge you never to rent through this company. We repeatedly reported maintenance issues that they took no action on, including black mold. This had a major effect on our health. Their own workmen recommended works that would have resolved that problem, and were ignored. When we moved out, they tried to charge us for issues that were noted on our move IN inventory, issues that we had reported and they had not fixed, and imaginary things like furnishings in an unfurnished flat. I have rented two flats from them in the past and at both, when it came to viewings for new prospective tennants, they let themselves in without permission- at the first property they let themselves in while I was in the shower after turning up 45min late (thus we assumed the visit was cancelled), at the second despite reminding them of this incident and stating that I was super anxious about it happening again, they did it again. We ended up barricading our front door to feel safe enough to wash or sleep. They are dishonest and disrespectful, they fail entirely to communicate with each other, and they try to take money they are not entitled to. Avoid like the plague, especially landlords who may end up liable to their tenants for the harm Seymours cause with their negligence, as they are openly planning to rent the mold-infested flat we have just left out again untreated and not-redecorated. It can only be a matter of time before someone dies from their negligence, don't let it be you.

TrustpilotDo yourself a favour and find a different estate agent
Seymour’s are the most unprofessional estate agents I have ever had to deal with. They don’t train their staff to be knowledgable on the property industry so can’t answer any of your questions on a property, and they hire young or inexperienced staff who are not trained up to do their job properly. You also never know who you are going to be dealing with when calling the office, I wish they just had one contact per sale as it would make the communication a lot better. Also know they have a toxic culture internally so I’m sure this doesn’t help!

Awful morals and ethics avoid at all costs! We have previously experienced awful moral practises after placing best and final bids on a property.

Sophie · 18 August 2025
Agent replied · 19 June 2024
Hi Sophie, we can see how frustrating this experience must have been.
To clarify our process: we use “best and final” offers to try to create a fair framework for all interested buyers and the seller. However, we are legally required to submit every offer in writing to the seller, right up until exchange of contracts (unless the seller has given us written instructions to the contrary). Ultimately, the seller makes the final decision, not us. It’s their home and their choice.
That means if a higher offer is received after a final deadline, we are obligated to pass it on and the seller can choose how to proceed. We appreciate this can be disappointing, and we’re sorry if our communication didn’t make these legal obligations and the implications of final offers clear enough.
We’re reviewing how we set expectations.

GoogleVery very disappointed, the never keep their word, worst experience of my life dealing with this estate agent Office , they promised that they have a Kind of cash buyer and will be a a very quick compilation , was promised the beginning of focus than later end of August and beginning of September that very quick compilation has ruined my summer holidays and now they want to complete in end of October. They don’t care who is buying the place? What is their position? What is the chain? They don’t do their diligence at all they are after to take another sale another fee 😡😡😡

Good evening Andri,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, feedback is important to us.
However, we feel it’s important to address the concerns raised in your review, as they do not reflect the situation accurately.
Your buyer has always been cash from sale, this has always been disclosed.
The delays are with your buyers related sale, we are not selling this property but chasing it daily for you.
Everyone is frustrated with the delays caused by your buyers buyer, however, we can only control the controllable.
We do care about you and getting your sale through, I understand exchange is set up for tomorrow and please rest assured that we will again chase this for you first thing.

TrustpilotSelling your house is a daunting…
Selling your house is a daunting prospect. That said, Seymours was the first choice to guide us through the process.I met Simon who came across as friendly and really knowledgeable about the local market with many years of experience in this field. The sales guide price was pretty much as expected. The pictures were taken a few days later by Mark who made a great job of the brochure. The whole team at the office were on board with the marketing of the house and, to my surprise, 7 visits were arranged within the first full week. The communication from the office was amazing. Emails arrived detailing every visit booked and there were regular calls with feedback and updates from the office. Overall a great service was provided by the whole team. The house was under offer in no time. Again, the background work carried out at the office, was extremely thorough and they constantly updated us on the situation.Whilst the wait for completion goes on, the whole team could not have done more to help with the process of selling a house.With the service received so far, it's no wonder they are the leading agents in the area by far

TrustpilotI would not trust this company
As far as I am concerned they should not get one star. The owner came and gave a verbal valuation of £310000 - £320,000. Due to certain circumstances he had to send this valuation to another party. This valuation he told me then increased to £362,500-£375000 in his letter to the other party.Once I was sent a copy of this letter I called this same person from Seymour’s Lightwater for an explanation and why he lied to me. Three times I called and guess what, I never had a call back. I would not recommend this company.

Thank you for your feedback Anne. We feel it’s important to address the concerns raised in your review, as they do not reflect the situation accurately.A senior partner provided a fair and realistic valuation based on market conditions and comparable properties in the area. At no point was a lower valuation suggested to suit specific circumstances. We also provided a written valuation to the third party in question, which was in line with our professional assessment.Regarding your calls, as we’ve explained, we are unable to get involved further in this matter beyond the valuation we have already provided. If you are still unhappy with the valuation, we would recommend engaging a RICS-qualified surveyor for an independent assessment.We aim to provide transparency and fairness in all our dealings, and we regret that you feel this was not the case.
