It was a pleasure working with Savills…

It was a pleasure working with Savills for our house purchase and it was by far the best experience of buying a property I have had. From start to finish, we were kept up to date and served extremely well. Lucy Kirkshaw-Staines was exceptional and really helped the whole process along. Highly recommended, 5 STAR!

Charged twice at Intu for parking

Charged twice at Intu for parking. Had to pay again as one machine must have been faulty and the barriers would not raise for my car. Paid again and was allowed to leave. Ocular proof available.----------------------Hi I will - I've already filled a form out on your official website a while ago so you may be able to locate that also. There was no response.

5 Stars - Outstanding Service!

We had a fantastic experience working with Douglas McCraith at Savills. From our very first interaction, he was incredibly friendly, approachable and professional. Throughout the entire process Douglas was always available to answer our questions, offer honest advice and provide support whenever needed. I can't recommend him highly enough if you're looking for someone who combines expertise with a genuinely caring approach. A true credit to Savills!

Shockingly poor service

Shockingly poor service. Please beware if Savills are the property service agents ie taking care of the entire building block. When you want to sell/buy a property then they are supposed to provide a management pack and are paid for it. For us it has been over 43 days and still nothing from them. Without the management pack we can not proceed and the process is stuck. There have been several chaser emails but still nothing.Am trying to figure out who is the senior management to contact to expedite this matter.Update- after writing this review the pack was provided within 6 hours. Thank you to Trustpilot.

Positive experience as a tenant!

Positive experience as a tenant dealing with Savills. They were responsive and attentive during both the move in and move out of our tenancy. Our property manager Maria was ace - no complaints!

Worst block management company, very unprofessional

Savills took over management of our luxury estate in Paddington a year ago and, sadly, transformed it into an environment that feels closer to a neglected urban area. Despite our repeated attempts at civilized conversation and requests for resolution of pressing issues, Savills has consistently let us down.One of our main concerns is the staff's professionalism, or lack thereof. Their working hours seem limited, they fail to respond appropriately to reports of illicit activities within the estate, and they've even resorted to blocking communication from residents who've raised issues.Adding to our frustration is their habit of hiring friends and family members for key roles. Our gardening and maintenance services, for example, have noticeably declined in quality due to lack of commitment and competency.Security in the estate has also dramatically worsened under Savills' management. Despite being promised 24/7 concierge and security, we've experienced periods with no security officers present during the day. In one alarming incident, an intruder managed to enter a flat and cause distress to its inhabitants by getting naked, peeing on a bed and attacking the husband of a pregnant lady. Despite clear evidence, Savills denied any culpability for this incident.Cleanliness is another casualty of Savills' lackluster management. Rats in the bin rooms and persistently dirty common areas are now common sights. Lifts and entrance doors remain broken for extended periods.The final blow came when Savills decided to inflate our service charge by 40% upon their impending departure. It appears they're trying to make a final financial gain before we replace them with a more professional agency.If you know Savills manages a residence you're interested in, my advice is run away. Instead of enjoying the comforts of our flats, we residents find ourselves investing significant time and energy into resolving issues that Savills should have addressed. Their unprofessional conduct borders on the criminal, from facilitating unsafe conditions to taking our hard-earned money without providing the services we've paid for. This review could be a novel, but to sum it up, Savills staff are unprofessional, unhelpful, and rude. You go higher up the chain, and they all protect each other with no accountability for anything. I really cannot wish anyone to have to deal with Savills. But honest hard-working people will eventually win as we keep hearing news about how they're getting removed of many estates for their unprofessionalism.

It's a shameless company who doesn't care about you at all. Waiting 8 months to relocate difrent apartment. First seven months was told it's a plumbing issue and i need wait,before I can move. Told they can't fix, and after that i was offered difrent apartment, and they let someone else live in before us. And told it's temporary, to be patient and wait. Seriously, how long they will lie to us. There is no end.. Terrible company, never saw anyone else like them.

Jennifer Kendrew was fantastic all the way through.

If I could give Savills York more than 5 stars I would. I have dealt with other estate agents in the past year and Savills is most certainly the best. In particular Jennifer Kendrew, professional, attentive, always contactable and above all fantastic at her job. She made the whole experience of purchasing easy and hassle free.

Paige at Savills Hampstead

I've used Savills in Hampstead for a few transactions in recent years. I've found everyone I've come into to contact with to be extremely helpful and enjoyable to work with.Paige Ford was no exception to this. She found very good tenants in a short space of time. Following that she went way above and beyond in helping to get the property ready to move in. I would strongly recommend anyone speaking with her if they are looking to rent a property in the area,

Very professional service! Highly recommended!

Very professional service! Highly recommended!5/5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 English is our second language, but Mr Greg & Mr Jay from Savills helped us a lot to explain everything to us, and they even offered an extension in order to help us getting all our funds on time, and they even discussed with our solicitor, in order to speed up the process and work together to have a smooth and pleasant transaction.I will recommend Savills to all my friends and relatives. Very nice properties for a live auction where you can make your bid very easy and enjoy the bidding process in the mean time.Once again, thanks again for all your help. Hope to have this transaction completed soon.

Excellent Block Management

While I can't (yet!) speak for Savills' service more generally, the manager for my particular building (Shikha) has been on top of every problem I've raised and unusually proactive in resolving them.

Adam Sayers in the Henley-on-Thames office

I would like to recommend Adam Sayers in the Henley-on-Thames office to anyone selling their home. It was a tricky process dealing with the sale of our family home following the breakdown of our marriage but Adam was a great source of support & guidance and was professional at all times and dealt with us both with equal respect. I feel very fortunate to have had such a smooth process once we finally got the house on the market. I couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome and all of that was down to Adam.

Condescending and rude attitude but good with response times and viewings

Viewings went well and very responsive. However I did not expect to be spoken to rudely and in a condescending manner from a particular member of their team. Marketing themselves as an agent providing great service but i found the service other than viewings and response time to be extremely poor. Senior member of staff was not helpful either and did not take a balanced stance after complaint submitted.

It was the Cambridge Branch we would…

It was the Cambridge Branch we would like to talk about. I have to say when we rented the property in Cambridge, the sales team was very efficient and responsive. Documents and procedure are clear enough. Everything were followed through. When we got the keys, the apartment was totally not on the professional cleaning status. Hairs and dust found in everywhere in the toilet and bathroom, even on bookshelf and on the light pendent. We spent a good few hours ourselves to clean the house. When we checked out our property, we hired a top notch professional cleaning team which is recommended by Savills to do the job. However, we were charged with a penalty for a scratch mark on the floor, where according to the checkout report, it was mentioned as a scuff mark. We did fight to not paying for this cost as they did ask the professional cleaning team return to do further cleaning, why they didn't include this area which can be easily removed by the professional team and charged me after their service instead? and 2) GBP100 for a removable stain, really? 3) savills said scuffs will not be charged for, why imposing this charge on my deposit claim? After pointing out the above reason, they come back to say they agree to reduce the mark to GBP50 and ask me to agree to the cost. I simply do not understand the logic, if the scratch does not exist at all, why should we even pay for GBP50? I know some people will accept to the reduction just to leave the hassle behind, but we demand for justice and the person at Savills who dealt with us doesn't give us a satisfying reason. To be honest, if you are charging me for GBP100 for the removable stains, who is going to compensate for cleaning the hairy and dusty property I received on day 1.

Ellis and Savills were simply incredible

Working with Ellis and the team at Savills was an incredible experience. Selling a home in the UK when we are living in Sydney, was stressful at times not being close by and on the right time zone. Having Ellis overseeing everything for us was incredible and we felt so confident with the entire process we couldn’t recommend her or Savills more highly. So professional and efficient and the perfect representative for our beautiful home. We felt in very safe hands which was very comforting from the other side of the world.

Excellent estate agents. Fees are high but you certainly get what you pay for

Caroleanne and the team in Glasgow were nothing short of excellent, from our first contact all the way through to completing the sale of our property in Tarbert. They guided us really well through the whole process and secured acceptable offers after only a handful of viewings. Thank you very much.

Consummate professionals

We've just exchanged on our rural property after several months of conveyancing. We chose Savills at Lincoln over another reputable and long-established local agent, despite that agent having lower fees. Our reasoning was that after having sold our previous rural property with acreage 14 years ago with Savills despite the buyer frankly being a nightmare, we knew that their conduct would be 100% as professional and positive as it had been in those difficult circumstances.Our decision was more than vindicated. Rupert Fisher is still the consummate professional and is reliable and trustworthy. His marketing judgment was spot-on as expected. The process of photography, EPC and marketing narrative was carried out by Savills' consultants, and the property was on the market in less than two weeks. It sold four times over in two workings days, and we achieved well in excess of the asking price.During the subsequent conveyancing process, some aspects (inevitably) went awry with one of the other parties. A big shout out to Michelle Weaver who - as with our previous sale - was always on the end of the phone or email to troubleshoot/find information/chase/reassure and steer the ship, and who clearly has impeccable contacts everywhere. I'd forgotten how completely proactive she is.So do I recommend Savills at Lincoln? So many idioms to choose from involving bears in the woods etc, but so little space to list them. Consummate professionals. Absolute value for money. We consider them good and reliable friends. Thank you again guys.

Property management service much better

Though our initial experience of Savills' property management service for our central London apartment had not been spotless, in recent years our Savills property manager, Yato, has done a great deal to repair my earlier loss of confidence in the service. Yato has been consistently responsive, thoughtful, good-humoured, and resolute when needed.

I have had the pleasure of engaging with Fiona Wither from Residential Lettings since January 2024. Fiona is professional, efficient and considerate throughout all the matters that we've had to deal with this year. I truly appreciate the support of Fiona, as well as the wider team under Laura Bushell, and highly recommend them.

A breath of fresh air !

A breath of fresh air - Dealing with Savills, and specifically their Aberdeen residential director Fiona Gormley, was an unusually refreshing experience in today’s property market. Savills stood head and shoulders above the competition with Fiona’s knowledge of the local market, her drive and commitment yielding a positive result for us in a remarkably short timeframe. Fiona was there every step of the way from initial valuation, creation of marketing material, through arranging viewings, negotiation and conclusion of the sale. I cannot recommend Savills highly enough.A Miller, Aberdeenshire.

Thanks for everything!

Thanks to Sholto for persevering with what turned out to be a tricky one after our buyer pulled out at the last minute. We got there in the end, and it was great to know that he was keeping an eye out for us to keep the sale moving forward. Thanks again!
