I cannot praise Castle estate agents enough. From the first conversation on phone, to our home being sold. Gary and Charlie provided an amazing service. I asked for information on solicitors, Gary provided a list to pick from. Once we informed Gary of our choice, Gary and Charlie were on hand to assist, they kept the communication between buyer solicitor and ours flowing, nothing was to much trouble. Would 100% recommend them. Thank you to all the team at Castles Estate agents for your professional help, guideness and for your caring support.

I recently used Castles Estate Agents to help me sell my property and buy another. Their initial valuation was very fair, and we managed to agree on a pricing strucutre that suited my budget. Everyone at Castles has been excellent throughout the process, with a timely response and supporting me through my moving journey. Special metion to Jack who was my main point of contact, and despite not being the original person who came out to value the property, took me on and understood everything I needed, he took the time to understand my situation and I never felt like "just another customer". I was originally recommended to Castles from a friend, and I would have no hesitancy in recommending them further - which I have already done. Thank you to Castles for their support, understanding, professionalism and all round excellent service. Having just moved home, I feel like I never want to again, but if I was ever doing it again, Castles would be my first call. Thank you, Adam

Sean was absolutely amazing from start to finish selling our property and helping us purchase our new one. Amazing communication from start to finish, always there if we had any concerns or questions. Couldn’t have asked for better. Also Charlie was so helpful always happy to answer emails at any time we needed any help or reassurance. Such a smooth process getting us into our new home. Thank you so much!

Unprofessional during consultations when buying a house. Poor communication during and after purchase. Never collect their sold sign after multiple attempts of asking and going into their office to request they collect. Edit to reply: "Appreciate our board guys were slow to retrieve your board after us asking them a few times" - Still not collected Unprofessional in the sense that: Initial phone call was met with "We're in a meeting and will call you back" and you never did. We were informed that our offer was accepted by our solicitor not via our estate agent. We've reached out on Whatsapp and via phone and via stopping into the office and you still haven't collected your board. You rely on a third party but can tell if we've asked 5 times that you should just come and collect it.

Thanks for your review Aaron. Most people that move into their new home within 2 months (based on the national average being 3-4 months) are pretty happy with the swift service! Unsure how you felt communication was poor when we recommended you the local solicitors that updated us both throughout the transaction and got you moved in rather quickly. Appreciate our board guys were slow to retrieve your board after us asking them a few times but they are a separate company, we don't handle these personally. So I can accept your comment on that. Assuming you appreciated the move in present from us though that was hand delivered to your door a couple days after you moved........

We would like to thank all of the guys at Castles for processing the sale of our old house and purchase of our new one recently. Especially Gary whose hard work and professionalism was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend Castles to Friends and Family in the future. Great bunch of guys who work hard and provide open and honest communication throughout the process.

Selling a property is stressful… or so they say! That was not our experience at all! From first contact Gary and the team have been amazing! Nothing has been too much trouble, no question too silly and no exasperation in their voice when you call with just one last thing! We have had a few dealings with Castles over the years and they have wowed us every time! They turn up, call back when they say and most importantly they are friendly, honest and trustworthy! Thank you so much guys! You have been a dream to work with and helped us so much! Keep up the great work!

Portchester's Premium Agent! The whole team are fantastic at what they do, the experience they all have within the industry really shows. They achieved asking price, and the sale was smooth and in quick timescales. Would highly reccomend, thanks Gents πŸ˜„

My experience with castles has been incredible. They have sold 2 of my properties now, one of which was very challenging due to external factors. The guys went above and beyond on this property, especially, with their marketing, exceptional sales skills and can do attitudes, to get it over the line. When I lost hope, they did not! They pretty much help my hand through the process and gave a real understanding and caring approach. They are so quick and easy to correspond with and they made me feel prioritised despite the many clients they are dealing with on a daily basis. I am beyond grateful individually and collectively to them for all the work, emotional support and guidance they have given during the sales of my properties. I wouldn’t opt for any other estate agents to work with!

We cannot thank, nor recommend Charlie and Gary enough. From start to finish they worked tirelessly to sell our home in a crazy market. They were extremely welcoming and kept us updated every step of the way. Whether in office hours or not we had replies to our queries and reassurance through what could have been an even more stressful time. With Castles you can be assured you will get the best!

Not good . Arranged a viewing, took time off to view only to be told as we were waiting outside the property that it had been sold the previous day. They tried to contact all prospective buyers to say this apparently. Strange as I had no phone call text or email to let me know . Independent businesses are not always the best for service obviously.

Hi Graham, thanks for the review. Apologies you did not get the notification the day previously in regards to the seller cancelling all future viewings due to an acceptable offer being agreed. I can see on my system the text and email notification failed to send so for that I can only apologise. Hopefully we will get an alternative property suitable for you so you can fully experience the five star property service on offer here at Castles.

Sean and Charles were both extremely helpful to get me through my purchase of my new property. They worked very professionally and effectively with me and answered any doubts or questions that I had. I would highly recommend using Castles. And I will most definitely be using Castles estate agents in the future if I come to selling or renting a property. (Source : allAgents)

Brilliant service from the other side of the planet. I live in Australia, so I had quite the long distance relationship with Charlie and Sean. My Mum passed away in the middle of Covid and I wasn't able to return to the UK to take care of her estate. From the very beginning Charlie and Sean were absolutely fantastic, Mum's house sold within a matter of days. There were a few issues along the way (not with Castles) and the chain even fell over at one point. However, Charlie and Sean took it all in their stride, remaining calm and professional at all times. Charlie especially kept in touch with me throughout the entire process and I can't thank him enough. He even kept on top of things and in touch while on holiday in America! If you're looking for the best real estate agent on the planet, it has to be Castles. Thanks guys and G'day.

I instructed Castles to sell our home and from the word go they have exceeded my expectations, I’m a stickler for details and great customer service and they have not disappointed at any point. During the valuation, selling and buying process we have dealt with a lot of local agents and Castles are by a long way the best. They are passionate about delivering the most professional service but do it in such a friendly approachable way, so you always feel important. Their communication is incredible and when you need anything answered, nothing feels too much trouble. I am so relieved I’ve used them as the whole process feels very streamlined and organised and they’ve made what can be a stressful process feel really smooth and calm. The added bonus is they also sold my house for substantially more than any other agent valued it at. Castles will give you an exceptional service, whether you are buying or selling through them. I would not hesitate to 100% recommend them to anyone. Thank you, team Castle you truly are amazing at what you do!

What a fantastic family run business! We had the pleasure of buying our property from them in Sapcote a month ago , I couldn’t recommend these enough!! They were so helpful and dealt with everything so quickly and efficiently! They even gave us a bottle of Prosecco and a lovey card when we picked our keys up, well done Hannah and her team !

Castles provided us with an amazing service from start to finish with our first home purchase. Charlie was accomodating with our requests and answered all our questions regarding the home and area. We would recommend the team time and time again.

Yes the house was sold. Total lack of communication. Took ages to answer questions. Unreachable at weekends. Avoid go with a company that cares

Derek Β· 14 April 2025

Agent replied Β· 23 October 2024

Good to speak earlier Derek and discuss your opinion on what lead to your 1 star review. At first I thought it was a mistake and you'd accidently clicked the 1 and not the 5 star button. Selling a property over asking price after your previous agent failed to do so, and then completing the transaction in 7 weeks from start to finish usually warrants a 5 star review these days. Also in regards to communication in that 7 week time frame we shared 24 emails with each other and multiple phone calls and text messages so not sure how much more communication you felt was required. Granted I know you called one bank holiday weekend on the Saturday after we had closed and left us 4 voicemails but these were returned when we re-opened on the Tuesday so little harsh to criticise us there. We are certainly a local business who cares and take great pride in what we do and our customer service. I am glad we got you moved quickly and hope you are happy in your new home, from all of us at Castles we wish you all the best.

Great service from start to finish. Professional, reliable, honest team who managed to sell the property for Β£10,000 over the asking price. We were informed and reassured the whole way through. We can't thank them enough for taking the pressure off us and for getting the best price.

I can not recommend Castles enough! They have been a massive support through our journey which has not been easy. Charlie, Sean and Gary worked non stop for us and did everything they could to find our forever home. It has been so up and down and we have just exchanged on a very long and difficult chain but again nothing was too much trouble for them. They helped in every way that they could and they kept us calm and positive no matter what we faced. Within our time of viewing with other agents I can honestly say these guys work the hardest. They constantly communicated with us and took the time to know what we really wanted and needed from a home. I don't think there are enough stars or words to thank them all for selling our house (more than once I might add!) and for finding our new home. Thank you

Someone wanted to buy a house through this estate agents and the person on the phone said we serve posh people so require credit checks for themselves and people living there awful company and rude manner wasn’t wanting a mortgage straight up buy wouldn't recommend to anyone

Agent replied Β· 25 July 2023

Louise I know for a fact nobody in our office would ever say what you have stated. Also what you have written does not quite make sense as it appears you are eluding to sales to begin with but then lettings when mentioning credit checks? I'm honestly not sure you have left this review on the correct business....

Professional, caring and considerate service. They kept excellent communications with me. I had a negative experience with an estate agents that was part of a chain, I would recommend this independent agents if you want a personalised service.
