Excellent experience with Hunters

We had an excellent experience with Hunters from start to finish. Richard, Brenda and Adam were fantastic throughout the entire process - always responsive, easy to contact, and happy to help with any questions we had. Everything ran smoothly with no issues at all, and their professionalism and communication made a potentially stressful process much easier. We would highly recommend Hunters to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

One of my worst experience buying a house from hunters

One of my worst experience buying a house from hunters auction. House was listed on website and tenanted for a fixed amount of rent which I was told by the auction agent called Robert. Also house was in bad state but got told tenants don’t care so why do you. Only to find out later on that tenants have never paid anywhere near that amount and it’s so much lower. So was lied to first of all and then later to meet the tenants and for them to tell us all the work they was promised and they wanted the house fixing top to bottom. What an absolute joke and waste of time and money. Keep your money and go elsewhere they will tell you anything just to sell a house that is overpriced

Ahsan has been an absolutely outstanding agent and property manager, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of professionalism, dedication, and care he brings to his work. From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional communication, always being responsive, clear, and proactive in keeping everything running smoothly. He consistently goes above and beyond to address any concerns quickly and thoughtfully, making the entire process stress-free and well organized. Ahsan has a strong attention to detail, a deep understanding of the market, and a genuine commitment to achieving the best outcomes, whether it’s managing day-to-day property matters or handling more complex situations with calm confidence. What truly sets him apart is his reliability and integrity, you can trust that he always acts in your best interest and follows through on every promise. Working with Ahsan has been a pleasure, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional agent and property manager who truly cares about delivering excellent results.

Rude, poor service - a must avoid for renters

Rude, get passed around from pillar to post while they try to ignore your requests or questions. Tried for years to get them to fix things but just continually fell on deaf ears. Now they're trying to claim issues are my fault which are down to shoddy contractors (which they use consistently, including at one point despite having had yearly gas checks, I get told that the previous 6 years hasn't been done properly and the build up that caused a leak was because of this. Everything is everyone's issue but theirs. Renters, avoid at all costs!

We had an excellent experience working with Saif at Hunters Plaistow during the sale of our property. We were up against the clock and needed to secure a buyer within a tight two-week window and Saif delivered. He found the perfect buyer quickly, which was a huge relief given our timelines. From start to finish, Saif kept us consistently informed and acted as a reassuring bridge between us, the buyer, and our solicitor. He also recommended a fantastic solicitor whose communication and responsiveness matched Saif’s own high standards. This made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out most was Saif’s confidence, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the local market. Everything moved efficiently, and we were able to wrap the entire transaction up within just a matter of months without any unnecessary delays. We’re genuinely grateful for Saif’s hard work and commitment, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and the team at Hunters Plaistow to family, friends, or anyone looking to sell in the area. Best regards, Jeansy & Ormeline

Our experience with Hunters and Saif was outstanding. Saif has an incredible network of vetted buyers looking to purchase in east London and was able to arrange viewings, receive offers and negotiate a price we were happy with in 2 weeks! Due to selling a leasehold flat, our sale turned out to be pretty tricky, but I can honestly say that without Saif holding everything together it would not have been possible. He was always available at the end of the phone to answer questions and provide advice. I have absolutely no hesitations to recommend Saif and Hunters looking to sell in the London are. We could not have done it without him. Also a special mention to Sam, who was always readily available and supported Saif throughout the process.

Excellant service

Moving can be hectic, but Dulcie made it so simple with her support, prompt communication, and quick responses from the first viewing in Cullompton right through to the day I collected the keys. She was professional, reassuring, and always ready to help.

Awful customer service

I remain deeply disappointed in the way my most recent complaint has been handled at their Newcastle branch. The way the branch manager speaks to tenants is appalling! If you have a complaint then don’t expect any sympathy or accountability. We have rented this property for 11 years and in that time, we have been superb tenants but sadly that doesn’t mean anything to them. I anticipate a reply to this which will more than likely attempt to completely contradict what I’ve written here but just know that our experience has not been a positive one!

illegal procedures - 1 bed property Sparks Close (Terrible Agent & Terrible Landlord)

1 bed property Sparks Close, Dagenham, RM8 - Landlord and hunters agent where complicit in illegal procedures regarding discrimination. We went through all the paper work and wasted 2 weeks till they call me and tell me the Landlord dont want a baby in the property. Don't trust them slow untrust worthy. And definitely dont rent the sparks close 1 bed property, Landlord seems like a handful save your self

Thanks to Ahsan, all transactions progressed very easily. Thanks to his interest and diligence, every stage of the process went smoothly. He gives confidence not only with his work, but also with his approach. If you prefer Hunters Plaistow, be sure to experience Ahsan's support.

What can I say about the team at Hunters estate agency Plaistow accept that they were bloody marvellous. George Sing has been a rock this was a very difficult sale because I have tenant who has paid no rent for 19 months and has taken her eviction up to the wire, but George got the sale once we had been to the county court and got the possession order it has taken over six months to get the deal through but George and the team have been there every for every step of this very difficult deal. I can’t thank them enough and I would strongly recommend them to any one looking for to buy or sell a property in their area, you can’t do better then the team at Hunters.

There is not enough words to describe how professional Ahsan is! After coming across many different agents of renting I can only say Ahsan is the best I ever met. Always helpful even after work sorting out problems in no time. I was new to the city and was struggling to find house. I am grateful for his quick response whenever I need any help or I had any query. The way he explained everything was superb, I never had any problems. Thanks Ashan.🙂🙂

Ahsan at Hunters Plaistow has been an absolute pleasure to work with! He has helped my partner and I find our first apartment together, guided us through every step of the process and went above and beyond to help make our dream a reality. Finding a home can be stressful as you all know, but Ahsan took all of that away! He is incredibly professional, reliable, knowledgeable, patient and the most competent estate agent we have come across in our search. We can’t recommend him or Hunters Plaistow highly enough!

I had just recently arrived in London 2 months ago and Hunters Plaistow did not hesitate to help us in searching for the house that me and my family currently reside in. Thank you to Sanjay, and our agent, Ahsan Akbar, who never hesitated to assist us every in every step. Ahsan is very hands on and approachable whenever we have concerns and queries. Hunters Plaistow is a trustworthy letting agency and I highly recommend it! Thank you again, Hunters and Ahsan! ☺️

Fabulous service from Saif and Lisa and the team at Hunters Plaistow. Saif went above and beyond to achieve the smooth process and transaction of the sale of my property. Would 100% recommend Saif, he was very knowledgeable a great negotiator, listener and kept me informed even when my solicitor's didn't know what they were doing. Spot on ! He and Lisa at Hunters will go far. All the best. P.S when life gives you rotten footwear, keep climbing those mountains ;) Best regards Angela

A massive thank you to Saif Shefe from Hunters Agents- we were dealing with selling a flat within a 9 unit block and the sale transaction which should have taken no more than 6 months ended up being a 13 months longer- we faced so many issues and delays with solicitors and building management, there were several times when we and buyer had lost all hope and thought the transaction would be aborted, but no, Saif kept us all so calm and in sync with each other and constantly supported us to ensure our completion took place. Our completion officially did happen on the 25th of August and there is no way we would have achieved this result without him. He is an absolute star and a true merit to the industry. He really did go above and beyond his role and title, he treated us like family and was concerned with our needs throughout- the deal was never about money for Saif but his relationships and clients he’s supporting, both for vendors and purchasers. We are so happy we have sold our property and our buyer officially purchased his first ever home. We cannot say enough about Saif and the team at Hunters, there are a lot of Agents out their that chase the fee, furthermore, I know most people would have given up and ended our transaction out of frustration but not Saif nor his firm. Leaving this transaction knowing we have made a friend for life and someone who we can certainly trust hole heartedly. I would recommend anyone selling within the east London region to sell with Hunters, they are slick, communication was superb and admin staff really responsive, Saif and his team held all our hands the whole way. They really do care, above and beyond the norm!

From the very start of the move in process, Ahsan our estate agent, was incredibly helpful and supportive in assisting us with the process of finding and moving into our flat. We had a nightmare incident when we first got our keys to the apartment, resulting in us being locked out. I was due to move all my stuff and was locked out, the situation was incredibly stressful. Ahsan was incredibly supportive and helpful in the process. He was very understanding and eased the burden on us in this situation. Highly recommend you go with Hunters Plaistow if you’re looking to rent or buy in East London!

I had a great experience with Hunters Plaistow! Worked with Saif who was totally professional, friendly and extremely prompt and helpful with any queries I had. He worked tirelessly to secure a buyer for my house in the difficult current property market. Having achieved a satisfactory price, Saif then ensured everything progressed swiftly to exchange and completion. So yes, my experience with Hunters was great and if you do get Saif for your agent, than you’re in very good hands

My experience selling a property in the…

My experience selling a property in the UK with this agent was extremely frustrating. For over four months, they delayed the transaction. Despite my constant follow-ups, they kept giving me excuse after excuse, like mortgage problems or minor issues, saying it would happen next week. Eventually, I told them I would pull out and sell to another buyer, but Matthew insisted I still had to pay. I also want to warn people about this company, be very cautious, because in the contract, they include terms that are unfavorable to the client. Once you sign, they do very little to follow up, and you can’t even be sure if the buyer will complete the deal. Their main priority is just getting you to sign, and regardless of whether the sale happens, they still take your money. And when I tried to back out, Matthew actually threatened me, saying that if I didn’t pay, they would escalate it to other departments. I feel this is a form of intimidation.”

I used Hunters Estate agent, I couldn’t fault them the service we received could not of been better. George Singh was my allocated agent and to be honest he went over and above what was expected of Hunters, it was a difficult sale however George stuck at it kept us informed and updated all the way, I was very pleased we had him act on our sale. I would highly recommend George and Hunters 👍

Robot refused to give me a viewing

Awful experience trying to arrange a viewing. Spent yonks on the phone with a robot. It asked me unnecessary questions and misheard things; then had to reconfirm everything. Eventually it was happy. I hung up and it started again this time by text. In the end it refused to let me have a viewing unless I told them my spending budget - which I wasn't prepared to do. Do not sell your property through these idiots.

Hunters have been absolutely incredible during the sale of our flat. It was a complex, exhausting process but Saif made every step feel so much less stressful. The personable and friendly service was the best I have ever received and I genuinely think this very tricky sale would not have completed without him. Communication and responsiveness was amazing. Thank you so so much!

Disappointed

Disappointed, we learned our house purchase had fallen through at the point of us being ready to exchange on our property. We found out that the office had known about it and left it to the agent, who had been looking after us, to tell us after she came back from annual leave! We never got a reason for the purchase to fall through and they even tried delaying us putting an offer in on another property. Luckily this was with another agent and we trusted our gut as the trust with Hunters had gone. 7 weeks later we were in our new home. Felt let down and disappointed with Hunters. This was our first and last time dealing with them.
