GoogleTanya has been an excellent support during the whole renting our house out experience. It has been exceptionally challenging, and throughout, she has been professional, rational and provided above and beyond her service levels. Without question, I would recommend working with Hamptons - from our experience - the agency continually seek to support and protect their clients interests.

GoogleWe have now used Hamptons on three occasions in the last four years - representing us both as sellers and buyers. Most recently Hamptons achieved the sale of our son’s flat just before Christmas.
Joe, who was our initial contact, as well as Peter, were always efficient - on the ball and respectful in offering their experienced advice. They were always solicitous of our interests; flexible and patient in a difficult and changing market - in their determination to get a positive result. We can strongly recommend Hamptons to anyone involved in house sales and purchase.

Google“The team at Hamptons were incredibly professional in helping us with our purchase and sale. It all happened very quickly and they could not have done more to ensure that it went smoothly and for that we thank them. However, that is not the reason that we would recommend them. What we found to be immensely important was that they cared. They were excited for us and extremely supportive. For this we are truly grateful and would recommend Hamptons to anyone. Our special thanks go to Camilla Fletcher and Joe Bickerton."

★★★★★ 1/5
GoogleTerrible. Viewed a rental property, made an offer and was told they do not accept offers. Finally my offer was accepted and a few hours later I learned that someone else was able to move in sooner then me so they were given the property even though I had speeded up my notice period. No paper trail only phone calls so no record of what was agreed. Then when I finally asked for the outcome in an email the facts as they saw them had been distorted. Shocking and unprofessional behaviour. They give decent agents a bad name. Have so say the person I dealt with did not appear to be the sharpest tool in the box, seemed to misunderstand what I was saying several times.

GoogleWe recently sold our apartment through Hamptons Blackheath and had a very positive experience. The sale was led by Joe Bickerton who was outstanding throughout a process that proved quite challenging. At every stage we found Joe and the rest of the team in the office excellent to deal with; responsive to all our enquiries and proactive in expediting a successful outcome for everyone. We would certainly recommend Hamptons to anyone looking to sell their home.

GoogleFrom the first visit to the last, we have been really impressed with Hamptons. The team have been patient, sensitive and supportive during all phases of selling my father's house. When we needed it, they gave us encouragement, sensible suggestions and reliably professional advice. And even during the nerve-racking bits of the process, they met us with warm good humour and genuine communication. Thanks very much to Joe, Peter and Camilla.

GoogleI chose Hamptons Blackheath to sell my house based on the interest shown by Joe in getting the property on the books. He was prompt in communication, open to a tiered fee structure and quick to get pictures/ marketing materials. Peter, Cat and Lucy organised and conducted viewings and following an open day with several iniquities buyers, we accepted an offer. Hamptons appointed Jessica as the sales progressor and she followed up with us, our buyers and solicitors to keep us all updated. The team was respectful, helpful, considerate and responsive all through. From marketing to completion at a price point we were happy with in under 100 days including Christmas and people being off sick due to COVID - Hamptons definitely earned their commission - which isn’t something one often hears about Estate Agents. I would definitely recommend them.
