GoogleVERY VERY BAD experience BEWARE! See photo evidence attached.
Harrisons of New Milton will reply to this denying this collective, family review. Horror story damp issues in their badly rented property!
BEWARE! Harrison’s in New Milton managed for a private landlord.
1. DAMP and mound everywhere...
When we viewed this property we saw a dehumidifier in the dinning room. We asked if there had been any damp issues. The lady from Harrison’s told us "no problems with damp at all". She also told my partner the same when he viewed the property.
We felt completely let down and misled when soon after moving in we experienced HORRENDOUS damp problems. We called in environmental health and Harrison rapidly got builders in to fit vents in the main roof as the ventilation was poor in the property.
2. ELECTRIC SHOCKS...
I had a big electric shock from a light switch. The light switch unit was replaced very quickly after reporting it to Harrison's. One month later my partner had a BIG electric shock from the same switch. I questioned Harrison's and asked if the wiring had been checked and they said "oh no just the plastic switch has been replaced". They then investigated further find faulty wiring, surprise surprise.
Harrison's were quick to respond BUT...This property was cheaply maintained, not safe to let. There was even tarmac subsidence in the front drive/garden area of the property too.
Harrison's would do better to avoid clients such as this.
I'm sure that Harrison's will reply to this with their very “copy and paste” stock answers about managing condensation and having the heating on and windows open but this was another level of damp. The attic was a sea of green mound on top of the loft insulation because of poor ventilation. It’s a shame it took 8 months and lots of stress to get this sorted.
The fact is Harrison's you caused us a lot of alarm and distress for a year of our lives and let me, my partner and our little 4 year old girl down BIG TIME!
Harrisons have responed and tried to brush this review off BUT future customers must know that this is NOT the way to do business and should check the property and the landlords letting standards before it goes on the market!
We sincerely hope that no other family has this experience.
AVOID! At all costs!

This is a nasty review posted by a tenant in a bid to hurt my business as much as possible. Not only has he sworn at and threatened my business but he has posted multiple bad reviews under false names on Google which Google have removed as he has abused the platform. Very little in this review is true and it all has been worded to try and hurt my business. What a shame we cannot review tenants. I am sure anyone reading our reviews will see that 99.9% of our customers are happy with us. Thank you Mr Philp.

GoogleI have had the pleasure of being a tenant through Harrison's and Regent Residential Lettings for the last 7-8 years in New milton. Edward and his team have always been helpful, professional and friendly in all that time. I ,sadly, lost my husband 2 years ago and they were so understanding and kind, helping me to find a smaller property. I cannot recommend them enough, whether you are looking to be a tenant or thinking of renting your property then look no further. 100%.

GoogleOver a long and often difficult sale Alan delivered 120%. We live a long way from the property being sold and were most grateful for Alan's support throughout. He would always go the extra mile - often literally as so many visits to the property were needed to undertake tasks which we could not do ourselves. From the first meeting we knew we could trust his honesty, sound judgement and good advice. On top of his professionalism, we very much appreciated his friendly good-humoured approach. We would certainly recommend Harrisons as first choice for any sales in the area.

GoogleWe had a recommendation to use Harrison’s Estate Agents and Regent Residential Lettings, they did not disappoint. From an unannounced walk in to the conclusion of our rental agreement, Fiona, Carolyne and Edward were helpful, kind and welcoming. Ours was not a straight forward rental and they worked with us and the owners to make it happen, they truly went above and beyond. Would definitely recommend.

GoogleAlan, What a great agent! So supportive and understanding of my situation. Went above and beyond to assist me in renting a property. All for me to have to decline due to unforseen circumstances, which I feel awful about as the service and personable approach is one that I have not experienced before with agents.
My holding deposit was returned to me the same day I explained my situation as to why I couldn't go forward with the rental.
Such an amazing experience with this agency! So impressed. Efficient, personable and reliable!
Highly recommended!
Thanks Alan and Edward

GoogleMe and my Husband have been renting from Harrisons for almost 3 years now and have found them absolutely brilliant! Any problem was sorted as quickly as they could, I was kept updated on any issues by email and Edward has even phoned at 9pm well after office hours to check we were okay when our power was out knowing our baby was 2 months old. Literally couldn't have asked for better service or more caring people which is what you want as moving is stressful enough already! We've even stayed with them moving into our 2nd property from Harrisons and Alan especially made that a very smooth process. In short I can't recommend Harrisons enough! The whole team is fantastic but Alan is definitely my favourite he is very professional, friendly and has a great sense of humour.

We needed a local agent to help sell our Beach Hut. From the first phone call Alan was friendly and professional. Edward also helped with phone updates & finance. Communication were frequent with updates throughout the whole process.
The marketing was also excellent resulting in a sale within days.
If you need a trusted Agent in this area look no further. Highly recommended.

GoogleEdward, Alan, and the team have been extremely helpful and communicative during the tenancy of a flat occupied by a family member. I was the primary contact, due to the tenant being vulnerable, and the team made every effort to ensure things like maintainance visits could be coordinated to ensure I could be present for the family member. They attended maintainance requests promptly also, and answered emails quickly. I would definitely reccomend them.

GoogleMy mum is a recent new tenant in a property managed by Harrison. I have to say,from the initial phonecall I could tell good client care is in place. Thank you Shirley for giving a fantastic first impression. On viewing the property we met Alan. Very down to earth , gave us the answers to our questions and actually a funny guy. Very professional. A few days after moving in, we discovered the hot water wasn't heating. I made a call to the office and was introduced to Edward. On explanation of the problem, Edward said he would make some calls and get back to me. He did, as did the technician who arranged an appointment time. Within 24hrs it was repaired and mum had hot water.
I don't normally write reviews but I feel in this case they all deserve the recognition for giving good customer service. Well done for doing a great job. Thank you.

GoogleI am normally not one to post reviews on services received however, on this occasion I have made time to share our very positive experience when dealing with Edward and his team.
Over the last 10 and 1/2 years we have dealt with numerous realty letting agents (including some of "BIG" national "reputable" ones out there). For the last four years we have rented a property is the village of Sway through Harrison Estate Agents where we were very, very happy. We felt, as clients, considered, valued and above all respected at all times. The fact that we believed ourselves to be good tenants, was confirmed during our recent vacating of the property for personal reasons, where the outstanding team supported us in every way - above and beyond and had our very best interests at heart throughout the process; Edward and Allan supported us in their appreciation in us a good clients and did their utmost to accommodate us and the landlords, fairly and professionally.
For us, this was a unique experience where when reaching the end of a tenancy in our properties rented through other agents, we were left frustrated and dubious about all other agents out there!
Thank you Edward, Allan and all the team for your professionalism from the very beginning of our dealings with you to the end! We can not rate you highly enough!!

GoogleHomesale Direct, for me, is the future of selling your home. No pushy agents trying to get their commission meant a realistic market value for our home. Dealing with a local established business rather than a website meant we were re-assured every step of the way and amazingly £350 got us a sales brochure of our home, a proper plan of the property and it also connected us to advertising on all the major websites such as Rightmove, we also had an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) produced and a personalised “For Sale” board.
What more do you need?!!?
Thanks Brett and Edward, Im boring people with how good you guys are!
