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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Lack of integrity and competence

There was very little factually accurate information that the Savills agent shared during the sales process from the kind of building, location of the car park through to what the service charge covered. They don’t provide the essential materials but expect you read every detail of their marketing brochures which the agent herself lacked knowledge - no value in dealing with the agent and what’s the purpose if their expectation is to read in detail the marketing material. A commission not earned for lacking the requisite skills and knowledge to make an honest sale. Since when did marketing material become the most important documentation taking precedence over what the agent communicates. They are bound by a code of ethics and speaking to the property ombudsman makes the standards clear yet they get away with not demonstrating the standards including using confidential client information inappropriately. Very disappointing and it’s a poor decision to engage them or trust anything the agent communicates especially when you’re forced to work through them as a sole agent as some developers insist. An all round unpleasant experience with defensiveness, a lack of analysis, rigour and zero accountability for any of their words and actions.

DO NOT USE "Greedy Sales Reps & Lairs"

Do not use. Unless you get everything on paper/email from them. And I mean everything as their representatives will try anything to get a sale with false promises and late lie about it ever been mentioned or offered. Have witnesses and log everything. Do not take the name as they are professionals many of representatives keen to get sales. That is their goal not the customer. My statement maybe very strong but I have proof and now have to undertake a complaints from wasting my time and energy whilst had to incur costs on sale that was a lie.

Attentive service and quick response

Savills have been managing my flat for 5 years whilst I've been living overseas. I've never had a void period. Aliya Charnley kept me up to date and was very responsive. The tenants have been good. Savills have a solid contractors for repair and maintenance who ensure that maintenance is done to a good standard.

Best lettings agent experience

Yesterday, myself and my housemate had been doing a long day of unsuccessful viewings. After feeling very defeated, I got a call from Savills where I spoke with Nikita. It was almost 6pm and she offered to let us view a property around the corner to where we currently were. We loved the house so much and put in an offer straight away!!If it wasn't for Nikita being so lovely and accommodating we wouldn't have had the chance to see this property and get an offer in, in the nick of time.Thank you so much Nikita!!

Thanks to Ruaraidh and Sandra. Angus Office

Huge thanks to Ruaraidh and Sandra in the Angus office. We had made the mistake of first trying a generic estate agency firm in order to potentially save some money in selling out property which simply resulted in two months of frustration and angst. Changing to Savills was transformational. At the first meeting it was clear that the knowledge and experience about how best to market our property and how be best to approach the sale was on a different level. The result was a feeling of confidence that we were in professional hands. The bonus of an early sale was obviously welcome.

TESSA THE SUPER STAR

Savills were an amazing agent to deal with, especially our super star agent Tessa. From first dealing with Tessa it was easy. We had a long, and difficult sale but Tessa was patient, persistent and more than anything positive. She was incredible at communicating on all aspects (she set up an WhatsApp group which was perfect) she offered guidance and advice when needed. Out of all agents we have ever dealt with she was the most humble, friendliest and also relatable (where similar ages so maybe that’s why). She also came to see us on the day of completion, ensured everything was as it should be. She was FANTASTIC, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
