I couldn't recommend Cubitt and West…

I couldn't recommend Cubitt and West waterlooville any higher. From day one they were all amazing and super helpful. Maddison originally came round to do a valuation and got the ball rolling. She was extremely personal and kind, we sat and had a real conversation rather than being made to feel like just another client. I was given a reasonable timeframe and expectations too rather than being promised anything unrealistic. Nicola and Maddison got to work so fast and the viewings came rolling in. It was a difficult year with interest rates all changing and throwing everything out but i still trusted they'd be able to get the sale completed. Nothing was too much to ask for, they were available for every viewing and got plenty of clients through the door too. After a while they found the perfect buyer and i'd accepted the offer. 10/10 for them both.During the sale process Julie took over and acted as the middleman with myself, the buyer and both solicitors. Again she was very personal and responsive with calls and emails. Any questions i had were dealt with extremely quickly and effectively. It was so reassuring to have someone so proactive during the sale process, i didn't really need to chase anything up because Julie was always on top of it. My entire sale and process was extremely easy and stress free. Second dealing with Cubitt and West and as before i wasn't disappointed. Thanks to you all and possibly others in the background i hadn't dealt with personally. One happy client!

Promised the world before going on the…

Promised the world before going on the market. That’s where the sloppy work started, given the brochure to sign off. Had to be return 3 times for amendments due to duplicate wording, missing pictures etc., basic work for anyone, but no care or attention to detail.Once the house was on the market and live on the website. Some pictures where over saturated making the house look a dirty, missing pictures and more pictures of the garden than the house.Asked them to amend this, met with a sharp and blunt response over the phone…speak to the manager.They amended this, placed the original pictures online, next to the over saturated pictures. Simple, uncomplicated work for anyone, but seems no one can be bothered to check details and pictures. All in all, a very bad experience of Cubitt and West, talks the talk but does not walk the walk.Would I recommend Cubit and West? No not at all, wasted 8 weeks of my time and money.

Thank you Julie!

During a very long process due to chain, the sale progressor Julie has been a huge help, keeping me in the loop about what was happening on top of the chain and very supportive with me when I felt like loosing my patience. I would like to thank Julie for her amazing work and also Tracey (sale advisor) when I was searching for houses!

Immediately Dangerous gas findings…

Immediately Dangerous gas findings weeks after their approved contractor’s inspection and no apparent urgency inside 2 weeks to rectify. We would not entrust Cubitt & West with our home again. Gas Safe Register inspected the installation less than five weeks after Cubitt & West’s “approved” contractor attended. Its warning notice recorded a gas escape classified as “Immediately Dangerous” and two appliance entries as “At Risk”. The gas supply was disconnected. Our tenants were left without gas. Even after receiving the findings, Cubitt & West required repeated chasing. The lack of urgency and a clear action plan was unacceptable. The tenancy had already begun badly. Essential arrangements were unfinished, delaying the tenants’ move-in. We were told staff were attending a team meeting while those matters remained unresolved. Their marketing stated: “Do you add Commission onto Repairs & Maintenance? NO”. They subsequently defended receiving contractor referral fees, arguing that these are different from commission added to quotations. In our view, that is misleading. They have refused to answer our request to disclose exactly what they received from this contractor. Their defence of a cleaning quotation included generic internet estimates. We obtained actual alternatives and arranged the work ourselves. When we terminated their appointment, they initially refused to begin handover until disputed fees were paid. They later reversed that position. We consider their handling contrary to The Property Ombudsman’s handover standards. Their complaint response even criticised the length of our correspondence. Proper answers and timely action would have shortened it considerably. I urge other landlords with concerns about inspections arranged through Cubitt & West to contact Gas Safe Register and ask whether a regulatory inspection is appropriate. The gas-safety matter remains with Gas Safe Register, and our service complaints are before The Property Ombudsman. We will update this review when findings are issued

If I could score one star I would

If I could score one star I would. I would not recommend this agency. My experience with them was extremely disappointing. They attempted to charge me for defects and damage that were already present before I moved into the property, despite there being photographic evidence showing the condition beforehand. I found the way the matter was handled very frustrating and the overall level of service was poor. Based on my experience, I would not use this agency again.

First time buyer/Leashold property

Though I didn’t use John O’Neill at the Cubitt & West branch, Woodingdean to buy or sell a property, he recommended their in-house solicitors and mortgage services. As a first time buyer, his recommendation and guidance was invaluable. Mortgage Matters Direct were totally amazing in securing me a mortgage, a fast and efficient service with great communication throughout. I would highly recommend them. JS Law, the conveyancers recommend by Cubitt and West were also great, Lauryn Parker-Beaton was very patient in taking me through the complexities of buying a leasehold apartment. Though it took a while, she did a good job in getting the property to completion. John’s knowledge and experience of the buying process was also invaluable, as a first-time buyer this was daunting and stressful, he simplified the whole process for me and held my hand the whole way through. I would highly recommend him and his team of experts, thank you John, I couldn’t have done this without you!

Flats in Southsea my recent dealings with Cubitt…

Although my recent dealings with Cubitt & West were quite short , as am not now looking in the Portsmouth / Southsea area , Harry was very helpful & the properties put forward were interesting & fitted the brief very well . If we had not moved the goal posts would certainly have seriously considered at least one of them ! And Tracey was an excellent host’ for the viewings , very perceptive & understanding personal circumstances with a lively , chatty style . So sorry not to be using C & W on this occasion but will definitely come to them if looking in this area in the future ! Thankyou .

Rosie Hewitt at Cubitt & West Arundel is a star

Rosie Hewitt at Cubitt & West Arundel is absolutely exceptional. I needed a new home because of a personal tragedy, Rosie promised that she would find me a place that would "fit me as a person not just as a client" and she absolutely did. She went above and beyond to find me the right property and manage the purchasing process, which was not at all easy. I can only thank her and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for "their perfect home", not just a house to live in.

A great experience selling our Portsmouth Mid-Terrace.

Having first bought our Mid-Terrace house in Portsmouth through Cubitt & West in 2020, when deciding to move house last year, we chose to make our sale with them. Having navigated the difficult mortgage landscape at the time and having secured our sale earlier this year the sales progression team were diligent and professional in that - sometimes - prolonged space between agreeing a sale and exchange. In particular Julie from the progression team was fantastic in liaising with us and our buyers as our onward purchase was finalised and agreed. I would thoroughly recommend the whole team at Cubitt & West to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Portsmouth or surrounding area.

Cubitt & West - They sell houses.

Having placed our property with another agent and having wasted close to 6 months, we moved to C&W and quite quickly they had found us a very suitable buyer and the sale progressed well through to completion. Thanks to Scott Buchanan, Brian Sparrow and the rest of the team, what is usually a complex process progressed well and everything was done and dusted in about 4 months.

Final Review

Just wanted to give a final review of our purchase made through Cubitt & West. Zoey & Jaz dealt with the negotiations of our purchase and did everything they could to get us a great deal. We were more than satisfied with their service & would highly recommend them as agents and representatives. Julie Bramble was very hands on with the negotiations and progress of our sale. She was always on hand to speak to and is very knowledgeable in this field. Julie is a credit to the team and I think she does a brilliant job in making everyone feel at ease through the stages. Our purchase has been a whirlwind of emotions and stress but I think it was most definitely not as stressful as it could have been without Julie taking it on and working hard on it. Thank you for everything guys.

Julie Bramble was hugely instrumental in the successful purchase of an apartment. It was a challenging and lengthy process and she could not have been more hardworking. I felt fortunate to have such an approachable and friendly ally.

Fantastic!

I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received from cubit and west southsea. I really liked the WhatsApp messenger service too, makes communication easy. Harry sold our house within a few days, a really friendly and helpful guy. And Julie was there from then onwards, to see it through to completion. She answered all my silly questions in no time at all. Would definitely recommend selling your house through these guys

Absolutely wonderful staff, Becky helped my partner and I so much with moving into our new home! She was an absolute gem. Such an easy and stress free process with no complications. If I needed answers I’d get them back immediately. Such a professional company and I am extremely happy.

Cubitt and West Brighton don't want my business...?!

I am really disappointed by the interaction that I have received from Ebba at Cubitt and West Fiveways, Brighton. I have called a few times today to try to get booked in for a valuation to sell my property. After some difficulty getting through and finally speaking to someone in head office to get an appointment, Ebba calls back to rearrange. When I said that I could move the appointment but if there were any issues I would call to let her know Ebba replied 'that if it wasn’t a real appointment she would take it out of her diary’. Not a real appointment? That’s a strange comment. I would like to book in the valuation which is why Ebba was the 4th person today from Cubitt and West that I spoke to in order to arrange. When I tried to explain that the situation may not in my control and I was only giving her a heads up to be considerate she said ‘that she was rearranging her whole schedule to fit me in and didn’t want to do that if I wan’t going to guarantee the appointment’. I’m confused as to why Cubitt and West Brighton don’t want my business? And coming from Estate agents that often have to cancel / reschedule as they are dealing with situations out of their control…?! I purchased this flat through Cubitt and West years ago and sadly will no longer return to them for help.

I don’t even know where to begin

I don’t even know where to begin. Our huge thanks go to Julie Bramble for her patience, understanding and just relentlessness even when we felt like giving up. She was just the light at the end of the tunnel and I will forever be grateful for her help and kindness throughout this process. If you’re a buyer/seller and Julie is the person in charge of your file, let me tell you something: YOU WILL BE FINE! Thanks so much!!!

Julie Bramble

My partner and I would like to give a big thank you to Julie Bramble in Cubitt and Wests Southsea branch for all the work she has put in on our recent home purchase. She always come back to us on queries when she’s been busy on the phone and always answered any questions we were unsure about. Julie has been amazing in her sales progressor role from start to finish. Thank you once again, Terry and Janet .

Excellent

Where do we start, I guess with Paige White first, what a diamond she is, from the very moment we first met her, she was friendly helpful and most importantly honest. The place Paige took us too, she warned us go in with an open mind, as work was ongoing at the property but not ready yet. We went and while we went in with an open mind, it was difficult to see beyond. Paige said I will keep a close eye on the progress and update you. We went away more in hope than anything else. Within a week of that viewing Paige called us and said come back and see what has been done. Which we did and while it was not yet ready the transformation was amazing. Paige had been right along, We said yes to the property and Paige went out of her way to get the paperwork side of things moving. When dealing with the rest of the team in the Bognor branch of C & W they too were friendly and helpful. Inside a month we are in the property and a huge part of that was down to Paige White.

Not professional

Emily & Holly mixed up the days of viewing and then asked for a confirmation via email three hours before the correct viewing. I confirmed 1,5h prior to the viewing but they did not show up anyway. Viewing houses makes you busy and you can’t be expected to check your emails constantly. They claimed they could not call me since I do not have a UK number. I’m on both WhatsApp and Viber. It’s 2026. Not professional.

I needed to secure a place as soon as possible and Dan made it possible for this to happen. He has been such a great help and always made sure I understood what was going on and happening at each stage within this process. I am happy to have been working with him and Cubitt & West and would genuinely recommend him and them to anyone in search of realtor services

Thank you Julie Bramble!

Julie Bramble has been an amazing help/ point of contact through my very recent property purchase. She has always gotten back to me on my numerous queries and was happy to talk me through the whole process. Julie was excellent at helping to soothe any anxieties or panics around the different steps of buying a property and I really felt like she was in my corner - calling and chasing up on my enquiries. Thanks Julie!

First house purchase

My partner and I have just exchanged on our first house. Whilst the process can feel frustrating and long at times, I cannot thank and recommend Julie enough for always being so attentive and quick to respond and chase for any questions or queries we had. If it wasn't for her, I don't believe we would have been able to exchange within 12 weeks of the offer being made. Huge thank you for being so helpful, it definitely made a difference.
