Great advice and support.

The advice and support provided by the team at Hythe and Waterside resulted in the successful and hassle free sale of our property. Being kept updated at every stage of the process took the stress out of the house sale.

Thank you :)

From the moment we called we were treated with so much respect and kindness - nothing was too much trouble. When our rented house fell through, Hythe and Waterside did everything to make sure we found a new place and they supported us with our move. My partner and I can’t thank them enough!!

Professional and friendly at all times.

Selling a property during a Pandemic isn't easy, however Wayne and Team helped us from start to finish and made the whole process as stress-free as possible. Even when our purchase collapsed, we felt confident enough to proceed with our sale.Wayne has the most sensible, no-nonsense approach to house selling. His first visit ( strictly adhering to all Covid19 rules) was straightforward and encouraging. A prospective buyer came to the office just as he was writing up initial details and Wayne told him about the property he had just valued and suggested he might like to view. Three days later our lovely buyer was ready to proceed. It had been many years since we last ventured into the property market and we feel Wayne steered and guided us, while ensuring we still felt in control,keeping us up to date with all aspects of the process, giving support and advice as needed. Although we had a buyer, Wayne still took a superb folio of photos with descriptions written in sensible, non-estate-agent style for inclusion on a national website. He was always ready to speak on the phone or make a home visit to go over paperwork. The rest of the team were always friendly and approachable when we phoned.We would totally recommend Waterside Sales and Lettings and will remember Wayne fondly from our new home in another county. Thanks, Wayne!

Great Service

We love you guys, you are personable and approachable. You put a lot of effort in to selling our properties and did your best to keep us fully informed.Only slight criticism - you occasionally muddled up who was legally selling each property and occasionally sent info to wrong lead communicator.Would recommend you every time though

Mr · 20 July 2018

Agent replied · 22 October 2024

Dear Mr and Mrs Bulpit, Thank you for taking the time to review us here at H&W. We have investigated the issue and it seems that both properties that were being sold linked on our internal system which meant all communication was connected. We have now changed this for any future dual transactions so thank you for bringing this to our attention. The team would like to wish you all the best in your new home!- Rich

Trouble Free Purchase in Uncertain Times

We used Hythe and Waterside for a property purchase. Both Wayne and Joe have been brilliant throughout the process. From arranging the initial viewing and then being given the time to look around the property in our own time and without pressure was exactly what we needed. Follow up communications and negotiations around purchase price were all handled courteously and in a timely manner. Their service has led to a trouble free and speedy purchase and completion. This is exceptional when you consider all of this was done throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks guys.

Excellent communication and customer services.

Very proactive and responsible Letting Agent, quick to response to any concern you will identify in your property. Just a matter of communicating to them appropriately because they want you to enjoy your new home. Again, the free added value advice and recommendations to help you avoid much later higher repair costs. Great service so far.

Hythe's number one Estate agent!

We've used Hythe & Waterside for a Holiday letting and 2 sales, really pleased. Wayne seems to be 'Mr Hythe' and is a mine of local property knowledge!  We're just going through with a second sale with Waterside and am very impressed with their professional approach and their marketing skills, far more comprehensive than the virtual agents we research.  Their 360-degree virtual viewing tours and incredible, you can almost look in the cupboard and under the bed, highly recommended!

Genuine Experience

Our house was on sale with a different Estate Agent for about six months.In a fit of despair we tried Hythe and Waterside and it was literally sold within five days of being put on the market.The difference is simple H&W were interested in what they are doing and they value their clients.

Great Company

Hythe and Waterside have been Fantastic all the way through my dealings with them. They are Professional yet Friendly and very Efficient. The whole process was very smooth and any query I have had has been answered quickly and with the minimum of fuss. They have also gone above and beyond at a difficult time (Covid-19 and Isolation) to make sure my move still went ahead. I would not hesitate to recommend them to Family and Friends and would definitely use them again in the future.

Fantastic Lettings Team

I would highly recommend H&W, the Lettings team were nothing but friendly, professional and well organised.I used them to Let my property out from Oct 18 to Oct 19 and I can say it was a hassle free pleasant experience. I have used a previous Lettings team in the past and I was left with not much faith in the whole Lettings process because of the bad experience I previously had. H&W most definitely restored my faith, they updated me at least 6 times throughout the year with regards to how the tenant was keeping the property via a report which gave me piece of mind. I would not hesitate in recommending them to friends and family. If in the future my circumstances change I will no doubt be using them again.

Overall an ok lettings agency. On the pro side, they were fairly prompt with any response or query that we had. Starting and ending the renting process was fairly straight forward and we had very few issues. However, certain staff members can be quite patronising and rude, on numerous occasions as well. If you are ever have an issue, its a case of 'you handle it' rather than 'more than happy to help.' All in all, could be better but the rating matches the performance over the length of our contract.

Hythe and waterside letting

I have recently used hythe and waterside letting to help me find a flat in a short period of time. They’re have been nothing but helpful and kept the process simply and easy to understand. Elizabeth in particular has sorted everything out and has always been the other end of the phone for and questions or issues. Nothing is to big of a problem to sort out for them. I would highly recommend them. Thank you
