TrustpilotAbove and beyond our expectations
We had a quirky house in a slow and nervous market. Mark and his team were the 4th agents we used and their effort and commitment to achieving our sale was exceptional. Thank you for everything, you went above and beyond our expectations.

TrustpilotHamptons Property Management
I have used Hamptons Property Management for over 10 years and have definitely come to expect the exceptional over that time. I never have to worry about my property, as I know whatever problems arise for the tenants or for me, Hamptons will always sort it out - quickly and efficiently. Special thanks to Angela Parn who has handled our property over the last few years, to an excellent standard.

TrustpilotHamptons Staff always Attentive
Hamptons Staff always AttentiveAlthough it sometimes occurred that issues took a little while to be solved, this was rarely the fault of the Staff at Hamptons themselves. We have been particularly fortunate to have Property Manager Joe Sanders as our contact point, and he has always tried his best to sort things out for us whenever an issue has arisen. He has been particularly good at being an equal intermediary between tenant and landlord and never made us feel as though he was only working for the landlord and didn't care at all for the tenant.Keep up the good work, and thank you Joe!

TrustpilotMy experience with our property’s manager and some of our letting agents
My experience with our property manager, Mr. Joe Sanders have always been satisfactory in terms of him being responsive, helpful, and committed. He has always tried to address our concerns in a timely manner and has a good understanding as to how effectively communicate with the landlords. In some occasions though, especially with letting agents, I’ve had some unpleasant experience which sometimes was kind of frustrating. There were some situations where one or two of the flats were vacant for relatively long period of time and I personally found it very difficult to communicate my sense of urgency with the agents. And sometimes there were different agents working on a specific flat with no effective communication channels with each other as well as with the landlords causing me send different emails to different agents discussing same matters. To me it seems there are sometimes some sort of miscommunications amongst Hamptons’ hierarchy as well as between the letting agents.

TrustpilotHamptons go above and beyond
I am just on the point of selling an apartment through Hamptons International in Berkshre West-I have rented it through Hamptons since 2018. On the whole, I have found them to be very good, especially Sales and Property Management. I wanted to particularly praise Harjeet Kaur their Property Manager for my flat-she is always so helpful and always ready to have a chat and answer any questions you may have as a new, inexperienced Landlord. Also, they really do do checks on the property at Hamptons in this area and always report back in detail.I also recommend Deborah Giacobbi in Sales. Throughout the whole process of selling the apartment-and when did that get so horrifically complicated in the UK?-Deborah has 'held our hands', chased, communicated and generally solve problems one by one. For these 2 people, I would recommend Hamptons wholeheartedly.

TrustpilotProfessional and friendly property management
We are going into the second year of renting our beautiful home through Hamptons International. Fortunately for us we have had wonderful Katie Tucker as our Property Manager. No question, query or issue has been too much trouble for her to deal with. Katie is approachable and warm, exuding professionalism and courtesy. It's not just the call or emails that we like, but her eagerness to follow up post the completion of a job to check everything is in order. She is an asset to the Hamptons team and we look forward to her continued support.

TrustpilotVictoria Thomas at Hamptons Letting is a really good property manager …
I have used Hamptons as my managing agent for 8 years. For much of this time, Victoria Thomas has been managing the flat. She is outstanding. Really quick, proactive and responsive. also really nice and easy to deal with. During Covid, the service did not miss a beat. I think the tenants have appreciated her as much as I do. I feel I am in very good hands with her.

TrustpilotJacob is a truly exceptional estate…
Jacob is a truly exceptional estate agent. We had been on the market without success, for over a year, with a lovely, but unusual, property. From the moment that we first met, Jacob understood what he needed to do in order to achieve a sale for us. The photographs that Hamptons took were lovely, together with a video tour. But more importantly, when the right buyers came along (only a few weeks later), Jacob made sure that the deal was done. He is tactically astute, a good negotiator, assiduous, careful and attentive. He has driven through the sale in less than three months with determination and drive, as well as being utterly charming to deal with. I could not recommend him more highly.

TrustpilotHelpful and very professional
We have had a few issues with the property that we rent - Ashley is our point of contact and she is just brilliant - she does what she can as quick as possible- our land lord constraints make it hard for Ashley sometimes but her perseverance always wins through- I find Hamptons to be helpful and always friendly - this time our need was due to a window lock that had jammed shut in the bathroom - and seems it will be dealt with quickly

TrustpilotGreat experience
Federica was our agent, and she was AMAZING, understanding our needs and bringing us to see houses that we loved. We were really struggling to pick the house for us, because they were all great. I am really happy I had the chance to work with her, and with Hamptons

Hanptons Islington are a great letting agency. I have consistently dealt with George for almost 20 years. Together with Victoria they are a pleasure to deal with. They evoque trust, the opposite of some local estate agents. Rare to say this about an estate agent. Try them!

TrustpilotHighly satisfied, long-time client
I’ve been with Hamptons for a number of years, with Samantha Jennings and Ellie Marsters managing my property. I’m not certain whether Ms. Jennings is still working as a property manager, but I have nothing but good things to say of both managers. Ms. Marsters in particular is efficient, prompt, and thoughtful with her advice and responses. I can easily see myself staying with Hamptons for the foreseeable future.
5/5
TrustpilotDefinitely would recommend.
Our experience with Hamptons has been pleasant. Our letting agent Roni was very friendly and attentive. David, our property manager has been outstanding and we’ve found it very easy to communicate with him efficiently. As we’re both young and it’s our first time letting, all we could suggest is to be initially provided with more information as opposed to having to find out what’s going on at each step.

TrustpilotVery Professional and Efficient Management
Hamptons have been managing my property for a long time. It is a difficult property due to various issues. They have been very professional and efficient in all matters. They deliver as promised and I cannot argue with the quality and price of workmanship. I would definitely recommend Gemma Ward and the Hamptons team for management of flats.

Trustpilotwhy?
Why was i told by one of your agents in West Hampstead branch that Countrywide are nothing to do with Hamptons when you are the same company and it even stating at the bottom of your site that Hamptons is a trading name of Countrywide Estate Agents Limited hidden under a title?

TrustpilotThe Human Factor
The service is very good. The difference is made by the people who work in Hamptons. The manager of my properties is Mrs. Elle Seaby. Elle is a very professional and expert person, always ready to help solve the problems that are faced every day. In my opinion, she is the real value of this company, the real driver that convinced me to let Hamptons manage my properties.

Very nice experience of renting a flat through Hamptons. All the team are very friendly and happy to answer any questions. Our maintenance contact, Ruth, was always quick to respond and empathetic. And Samantha and Bhavika were really quick, helpful and professional when it came to the end of our tenancy and the move out was very straightforward and stress free.Would recommend 100%.

Sarah Golder has been fantastic in resolving a sensitive deposit dispute. She has kept us informed, advised and looked after throughout and has been professional and personable at every step. We are ver grateful to Sarah and have full confidence going forward, knowing that she and her team are so diligent on behalf of their clients

TrustpilotPoor service from letting agent and property management
I am currently renting a house that was let by and is managed by Hamptons International. My letting experience was appalling from start to finish as the letting agent in chiswick was incompetent. It began when he threatened to let the house to the 'other bidder' and when we told him to do so, no other bidder appeared to exist (as we got the house). There were numerous other mistakes/poor administration throughout the whole process - it took several attempts to get the contract correct (in addition to numerous other issues) and culminated in the check in being booked for 9am on the day when our tenancy began and we were told we wouldn't be able to occupy the property until 11am as (due to covid restrictions) there couldn't be any cross over - understandable but the property had been unoccupied for 7 weeks beforehand! I did try to speak to a manager but the telephone number I was given just went to voicemail and my messages were left unreturned. I was sceptical and disappointed when I found out the property was to be managed by Hamptons and this week my worries have proved correct as it is proving impossible for the property manager to even get a contractor to contact me to arrange an appointment to mend the dishwasher which has not not worked for a week (family of four).I actually own and let my old flat and manage this myself and would not dream of providing such a shoddy service to my tenants.

TrustpilotThank you Hamptons Sales
Justin and Emily, of the Hamptons International Chiswick office, have defied all negative stereotypes some might attribute to the Estate Agent. There was no BS here, just a lot of hard work, frank and realistic advice and support from them to help us achieve a good sale in a difficult year for everybody. We were constantly kept informed and involved throughout the process. They are an example to their profession and we've never dealt with any other estate agent we felt truly had our backs (and that of our buyers) in this way. Everyone came out a winner thanks to their approach and efforts.

TrustpilotWILL TAKE EVERY PENNY FOR NOTHING AND…
WILL TAKE EVERY PENNY FOR NOTHING AND LEAVE YOU UNABLE TO GET BACK INTO YOUR OWN HOME. I rent my home put with Hamptons whilst pur family our overseas for one year. We made it clear at the outset we wanted the house back one year later. We paid a FORTUNE for documentation. We pay a FORTUNE for management fees. Supposedly for peace of mind. Hamptons have now contacted me and said that UNLESS I pay them a further £120 on top of all the money I have already paid them I risk not getting my house back. My family now risk homeless because I am being held to ransom by Hamptons for yet more money. They asked the Tenant if he wanted to stay on WITHOUT even asking me first. Absolute NO PEACE OF MIND AND NO DECENT SERVICE. Very distressed.

We would welcome the opportunity to address your comments further and kindly ask you to contact customercare@hamptons.co.uk with your details so we can investigate. Thank you again.

TrustpilotExceptional service
Our property manager, Lucy, is a pleasure to deal with. We have had a few issues recently with heating etc and Lucy has been extremely competent and helpful every time we need to get in touch. The issues are dealt with promptly and efficiently and it makes our lives so much easier to know we have such a friendly, approachable person looking after our needs.
