Working with H&G’s Phil Coombes was a real pleasure right from the viewings stage through to completion. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area and listens carefully to what his clients are looking for in their new homes. Not once did he show me a place with too few bedrooms or that was wildly over budget; after meeting around ten agents during my search, H&G was alone in this. Phil also gives his clients space and time during viewings so they can make their own minds up about the look and feel of a property. To me, this was really valuable. After our offer was accepted, he worked hard and efficiently towards a smooth completion. We are very happy to recommend him, and H&G, to anyone looking to buy in W6.

Hello Clem, Thank you for sharing your wonderful review with google reviewers. Phil is a senior member and very much a key part of an incredibly strong and able sales team here at Horton and Garton. Phil is nick named the "Hammersmith Terrier" by many of the local solicitors for his tenacity and doggedness in seeing the sale through from point of sale to exchange... and as every career estate agent knows very well the the hard work in every sale starts once best terms are agreed. Phil is 100% reliably reliable and constantly delivers on providing a high level of customer service to vendors and buyers alike, which within our profession and industry may be a rarity! Looking forward to receiving our invite to the house warming party! On behalf of my colleague Phil and all of the sales team best wishes and we shall see you soon. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

I have know and worked with Martin and Phil for many years now and have found them to be fabulous to deal with. I find properties for clients to buy in the area and I know every time I liaise with them I will be greeted with enthusiasm, sound knowledge and a willingness to go the extra mile. It is a tricky market at the moment and sellers need agents who are prepared to do more than just list their property. I would not hesitate to recommend the Horton & Garton team to provide a proactive, professional and friendly service.

Best wishes, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

The recent sale of our flat ended up being quite an undertaking and the part played by Horton and Garton was vital. We are most grateful to John for his personal interest and attention, to Martin for his enthusiasm and advice, as well as to Phil, who could not have done more to manage the sale; we were hugely impressed by his accessibility, commitment and positivity throughout the entire process. As landlords, we have also always been very happy with the excellent lettings and management service provided by Ashley and his team.

Good morning Mark, Thank you for your comments. Ashley Clements and his experienced lettings team are excellent at what they do best; which is achieving best market price for our clients, introducing willing and able tenants and delivering a personable and professional service. We look forward to working with you and your property moving forward. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

I recently let my property through Horton and Garton and I found them to be very efficient and straight forward. For example, the day after the property was advertised, a suitable tenant was already found. Furthermore, they were very helpful with any queries that I had and delivered prompt responses that perfectly answered my questions. I cannot recommend Horton and Garton highly enough, predominantly for their professionalism and effectiveness. In particular, I found Ashley Clements, the letting manager and Delia from the administration particularly helpful in providing a smooth process in terms of getting the property onto the letting market. Phil Coombes was also very accommodating in terms of giving me all the relevant advice that I needed when making crucial decisions for the purchase of the property and properties in general. Thank you, Horton & Garton!!

Dear Shaini, Thank you for glowing and wonderful review. I have to say it was a text book 'team work' let with your property. I can now confidently say you made the right choice appointing Horton and Garton, the market leading independent estate agents and avoiding the corporate route, however listening to your experiences with these so called 'big brand' companies I am delighted we delivered on both service and expectations! Thank you again and we look forward to working with you and the property. John Horton MNAEA MARLA

We recently purchased a property through Horton Garton. Phil Coombes showed us around a number of properties. He was polite, very informative and had good market knowledge. Once we had an offer accepted Phil managed the process beyond expectations, keeping all parties on their toes throughout so that the transaction went through to exchange without a hitch. Post exchange Phil has been very helpful in getting us access to show builders around before we complete. I would recommend Phil to anyone looking to buy or indeed sell their home, as he will do a great job. Thanks again.

Hello Henry, Welcome to 'Our Patch' of west London! Thank you for sharing your review from the buyers perspective with your experience working with Horton and Garton.

Every willing and able buyer buying a home with a willing and able vendor always makes the transaction that bit smoother and I know how much work Phil contributed to such a speedy transaction. All the very best in your new home! John Horton MNAEA MARLA

Horton and Garton is a professional and trustworthy real estate agent. Thanks to Phil and Martin, who went extra miles to help us and secure the deal, we managed to get our dream house. They understand the local area and the property market very well, and they gave us many honest and incredibly useful advice, especially when we were facing setbacks. They also liaised and answered our enquiries efficiently during the process which gave us further assurance. Overall, I highly recommend Horton and Garton!

Phil Coombes has been terrific to work with and I wanted to write to add my huge thanks to him for persisting with us. We saw a number of places with Phil and then one day out of the blue he contacted us with a fabulous property which wasn't publicly on the market. We walked in, made an offer and have just exchanged. Phil is easy to deal with and responds really quickly to questions. Highly recommend.

I was the purchaser for a property that H&G were selling in Hammersmith. They were very helpful/responsive in viewings and after my offer were accepted were great at hustling to get from offer acceptance to completion in three weeks (!). They also acted with integrity when there was a small hiccup which I very much appreciated. Would thoroughly recommend.

Shiyane at Horton & Garton was fantastic throughout my entire property search and the utmost pleasure to work with. She was always extremely reliable and prompt in sending over new properties to me as soon as they came on the market. She also made sure to consistently check in to see how everything was going and which direction we wanted to head in. She’s one of the most professional, friendliest and kind estate agents I’ve met thus far and I couldn’t recommend this agency and particularly, Shiyane, more.

We had been looking for a property for over 18 months and during this whole period Phil Coombes (aka The Hammersmith Terrier) looked after us. Phil's approach was very helpful, professional, calm and honest. We would sincerely like to thank Phil and the whole Team at Horton and Garton for helping us find the property that we were looking for. We highly recommend Horton and Garton!

Having bought our home through John it was only fitting we used H & G when we had to rent it out. Ashley and his team were the height of professionalism and in ( literally) no time Agatha had arranged the perfect tenants. Germain in operations and Ashley Prouse in property management ensured everything was handled with the very least of fuss. If you're buying, selling or renting in W6 I can't understand why you would go to anyone else; this is THEIR patch. Thanks guys ( and ladies )

Very good experience through the whole process of selling during a very changeable time - post Brexit. John Horton kept us updated in the early stages and Martin Clements who handled our sale was thoroughly professional throughout and a pleasure to deal with. He gave good, honest advice and was always consistent in his reasoning which helps to inspire confidence. Communication around Viewings was always good with helpful feedback soon after & quick responses to every request. H&G really know the Hammersmith area well and give a high quality service. I would use them again and am happy to recommend them.

Dear Maria, Thank you very much for your glowing review. It was a genuine pleasure working you and your property sale and Brackenbury Village house. The team effort ensured we realised the best buyer and Martin's expert negotiations and handling achieved best price. I must say another text book estate agency property sale and hopefully we will have the opportunity of working with many other similar family houses and clients like yourself going forward. On behalf of all of the sales team we wish you all the very best with your move and settling in to your new home. Kind regards, John Horton MNAEA MARLA

We have exchanged on our new home this week and I couldn't thank Phil Coombes from Horton and Garton enough for his help throughout the process. He has shown us four different properties in the area, always patient and attentive to our expectations with a real determination to find the one property that we would like. His availability, support and advice were invaluable to us and we didn't feel the need to engage with any other agents as H&G had pretty much every available property in their portfolio in combination with great service from Phil.

Have just sold our flat through H&G and couldn't be happier with the service we received. Extra big thanks to Louise for all the hand holding and soothing of nerves she did along the way. She was endlessly positive and committed to getting the job done. Communication was really good so we always knew what stage we were at. We definitely chose the right agent.

Hello Carole, a big thank you for sharing your wonderful 5 Star review with your experience working with Louise on the recent sale of your Stamford Brook, Hammersmith home. As the business owner it is always very refreshing to see such comments about an individual and teams’ performance, Louise is a valued member of a very strong sales team here at Horton and Garton and she is always positive and communicative and goes the extra mile for her clients and customers. Your purchase was what I would call “text-book agency” trouble free… and for Horton and Garton, however I am sure it did not quite feel like this. Thank you and Chris for your business working with Horton and Garton. On behalf of the sales team all the very best for settling into your new home and “life after london”. Kind regards, John Horton, Director, and owner.

Stuart Bunce, Chiswick office - superb service

In dealing with a complex sale of a leasehold property for a client, I worked with Stuart Bunce based at their Chiswick office.

I have nothing but good words to say about Horton and Garton and their lettings team. Right from the start, Ashley and his team treated me with respect and patience, which made me relax and feel safe in their hands. They found excellent tenants who were willing to pay an above asking price rate, and answered every question I had. Whilst a change in my personal circumstances meant I did not, in the end, proceed with letting my property, I have no hesitation whatsoever of getting Horton and Garton to let or sell my property in the future.

Having previously had bad a experience with a large agency when letting my flat, I was nervous about having to use one to sell it. And initially, I only contacted H&G as they'd sold the flat above mine, and I intended to compare a number of agencies. I'm pleased to say that from the moment we met, Martin gave us such confidence in his ability and his manner that we didn't feel the need to meet anyone else. His relaxed yet professional style put us at ease and he was both positive and realistic throughout the process. We felt comfortable that a large chain of agencies was not required to get us a good sale. Catie and John were also informed and enthusiastic about our property and we were pleased with the number of viewings we had. When it came to negotiating the sale, Martin gave very helpful, patient advice and he made the fact that we'd returned to NZ no problem at all. As soon as the sale was agreed, Martin was proactively nudging the process forward. I'm sure the sale and subsequent exchange only came to fruition thanks to his gentle but persuasive manner in getting us over the line! I would not hesitate to recommend Martin and the team. Martin was determined to change my view of real estate agents, and he did just that. Thank you :-)

Phil was by far the most professional, responsive and friendly estate agent we have ever come across. We would like to thank him for all of his hard work and dedication to helping us purchase our first flat. He was excellent at driving the purchase forward by facilitating communication between solicitors which I believe has earned him the well-deserved nickname of ‘The Hammersmith Terrier’!
