GoogleEveryone at Hamptons, especially Rory who was out main point of contact, were incredibly helpful in helping my parents sell their house. They were always polite and easy to talk to.

TrustpilotWe used Hamptons from 2019-2020 for…
We used Hamptons from 2019-2020 for renting a property in Honeybourne, Worcestershire (we were tenants). They were excellent. If there was any issues they were solved promptly and with great communication. At the end of the lease, we employed a poor cleaning company and the property was not handed back in the condition we aspired to. Hamptons staff were great with us. We had been let down by a cleaning 'contractor' but Hamptons ensured the new tenant moved in on time and kept us in the loop as we were (by then) living in France. They employed their own cleaning team.Many thanks to Melanie and all the staff.
Thank you for leaving us a review, customer service is very important to us and we are thrilled to receive your feedback . We look forward to sharing your review with Melanie and the team.

TrustpilotWe rented from Hamptons for 13 months
We rented from Hamptons for 13 months. The first 8 months were appalling. The estate agents who handled the initial rental in Harpenden were unfriendly, unhelpful and unresponsive. We felt like children in a really mean teachers class! Then, we had Mark Houghton as a property manager, who was the most patronising and offensive man I’ve ever had the unfortunate experience of dealing with. In the end we ended up fixing things ourselves just so we didn’t have to deal with him. However, that all changed when Mark left and Melissa Jeynes was appointed as our manager. She was a breath of fresh air and made a real difference to how we perceived Hamptons as a company. She is respectful, friendly and goes out of her way to help and follow up on any problems. She made the last few months of this tenancy and the moving out process very easy. She is the reason Hamptons gets 4 stars and not a 0. Thanks Melissa.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are disappointed to receive your feedback with regards to the tenancy set up process and as such, have passed your feedback directly onto the relevant Lettings Director to review. With regards to Melissa, we are pleased to hear you have had a positive experience working with us so far and we will be sure to make her aware of your feedback. Thank you again.

TrustpilotFriendly process let down a little by timescale
Our heating and hot water broke down with a boiler fault. Contacted Hamptons and Max was swift to reply at 8.40am. Engineers were called the same day. I let Hamptons know the problem and the next day the simple repair was approved and fixed the day after that.The only reason I didn't give a 5 is that for such a simple repair it seems unfortunate that the process left us without heating for 60hrs when the cheap and basic part was even in stock with the repairer company 4 miles from the house.Max was exemplary throughout the process but it seemed long-winded for such a simple repair. I'm just grateful the part didn't need ordering. In truth it should and could have been fixed the same day.

TrustpilotGreat Property Management Experience
We have had a great experience with Shahena our property manager (as well as Annabel who helped while Shahena was out on leave). They have always been prompt and communicative as things have come up with our flat, but our big test came after the basement of our flat flooded following a big storm where they have done a great job getting it remedied and keeping us updated on the Progress.

TrustpilotService way above expectations
I bought a house using the Marlow office. My main contact was Stuart Miles who I would recommend to anybody. He was proactive, professional, polite and throughout the process which had its challenges, but Stuart was always calm and looked for solutions. It didn't end there as, once the deal was done he came around with the office hoover on the day I moved in as mine was broken. He even did the hoovering for me.Top class service and refreshing to be able to write such a positive review over a house move that can be fraught with stress.
Thank you for leaving us a review. It is fantastic to receive such wonderful feedback about Stuart and our Marlow team, and in particular, it is great to hear you feel the service was to a high standard and the team made the process as stress free as possible. Thank you again for your feedback, we look forward to sharing your review with the Marlow office.

TrustpilotGreat Amersham Team
The team at Amersham were professional, friendly and on the ball throughout our sale and purchase. The photos and details were exemplary.I felt I knew the whole team and was happy to have any of them attend the viewings. For various reasons it was a more complicated process than usual and they went above and beyond expectations. I genuinely think it went ahead because of the team at Hamptons, so i'm delighted we decided to sell our property through them and would recommend them to friends and family. In fact we already have!
Thank you for leaving us a review Sophie. It is fantastic to receive such wonderful feedback about the Amersham team and in particular that you feel they had such a positive impact on the transaction. We take great pride in our people and look forward to sharing your review the team, thank you again.

TrustpilotBad for tenants and bad for landlords
Listen to the bad reviews and avoid this agency. They are a big messy organisation whose incompetence has consequences for both tenants and landlords.The property I moved in had a damaged window and a damaged balcony door (they can’t be closed, which leaves in cold, dampness, draft, insects (plenty of dead insects near those doors) which is strange considering it’s a new build, high standard property, but anyway. I made an offer on the condition that these be fixed before I move in and this was put in the contract. Not only were the issues not fixed, even though I checked with them every week to get updates, there were other issues too like a missing smoke detector, broken cupboard door, broken tap, leaking sink, etc. But by far the worst issue remain the windows, which can’t be closed and have made the apartment damp, cold, and there’s a strong draft. The engineer who came to have a look again said he told Hamptons about needing to replace the balcony door months ago, which is why I say they’re bad for landlords too. They won’t care about maintaining what was a very nice apartment and have exposed it to all kind of risks like exposure to weather and dampness, the missing smoke detector, etc. I’ve received a lot of conflicting information during my interactions with them, with one person at some point telling me they weren’t aware of any issues with the windows, even though one of their own agents came and got stuck with that balcony door for long after the viewing was over.There was also a lot of confusion about how they handle contracts, where different people gave me different answers, and just an overall frustrating experience. But the issue remains the the windows and balcony door aren’t fixed and the contractor looking into the repair said it would take 6-12 weeks and they haven’t even heard back from the company that needs to send them the parts, then on top of that however long it takes to recondition the apartment and get rid of the damp and cold, is not something any tenant should be expected to have to deal with. 3 months of cold and dampness when this isn’t a low end, old property. I also feel sorry for the landlord because I’m sure he had no part in this and they let his property get into this state. I’ll be looking to end my contract.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, customer service is very important to us and we are naturally disappointed to hear you have had a negative experience . Please email customercare@hamptons-int.com with the name of the branch or individual you were working with, so the team can ensure your feedback is passed onto the relevant department head to investigate. Thank you again.

TrustpilotI dealt with Amelia at the Windsor…
I dealt with Amelia at the Windsor office and had a great experience when we had to undergo some major changes before new tenants started. There was lots of communication, and relevant options for us to consider, and it was dealt with well. I did have to fight to get a few of the quotes down to an acceptable minimum, and I was also incorrectly refunded rent on two occasions, but otherwise the service was really good.

TrustpilotPaid £9000 in rent over 6 months & still cannot shower
Unfortunately I have had a horrible time with Hamptons Caterham, to my real surprise as a brand as esteemed as Hamptons, you’d expect perfect service.I moved in, in May 2024, paying £1500 a month for a 2 bed flat. A nice flat, I expected some small teething pains upon move in of course, but not to spend 6 months with no bathroom hot water - meaning I am left to boil 4 pots of hot water a day to have a hot bath.Not only that, since moving in, the dishwasher didn’t work and had to be totally replaced. The shower unit was broken and also had to be totally replaced.Thereafter, I have had no hot water in the shower. The plumbers they use, Homeserve, are so inadequate they have no clue what they’re doing. They have been here 3/4 times, and the issue persists. They now blame the shower manufacturer, the manufacturer blames the plumbing - who knows. Ultimately, it’s been 6 months with an inability to shower - when I’ve now paid £9000.I am fed up, drained, stressed, it’s impacted my skin (long term eczema) and is now impacting my everyday wellbeing.Their complaints department also do nothing. You are really just left to suffer and pay your rent - regardless of the environment you’re left in. The landlord throughout all of this has refused to discount my rent. I will therefore take legal action for pain and suffering and my partial of my rent money back as I have not received what I paid for.If you are a potential tenant my advice would be to:-thoroughly check all appliances and plumbing yourself *before* you move in. Do not take Hamptons word for it that all is working.-do not accept Hamptons inventory report that all is working, as they said on mine all appliances and hot water was working fine, when it wasn’t.-be prepared that any issue you have may take 6+ months plus to be resolved and you will not have a rent reduction.The best thing to do is save more money and buy your own property, so you can be in control of all repairs and the quality of those repairs. Do not rely on Hamptons or a landlord to be fair or give you the service you pay for.Jessica

GoogleSheila @ Hamptons Richmond is extremely professional, result-orientated and cooperative. She did an excellent job in understanding our situation and timelines involved. She arranged several viewings in quick succession and secured very good tenants for our property two months in advance of our move out dates. I would highly recommend Sheila and Hamptons Richmond lettings team for letting your property as they really know their business well. Above all, they are fair to landlords and tenants which is rare these days.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We take customer service very seriously and are delighted to read that Sheila had such a positive impact on your experience with us. Delivering a high level of customer care is very important to us and it is fantastic to read that Sheila provided you with this. Thank you again!

GoogleHamptons in Richmond were incredible from start to finish of my first time house buying process! When I saw a flat online that I liked but was abroad Matthew sent me a video tour and put such effort, care and time into it that I really trusted him and put an offer in without seeing the flat! Fast forward a month or so and I am just about to complete! Cameron has been brilliant at chasing solicitors either end and keeping me updated on a near daily basis. I can’t thank the Hamptons team enough for making buying a flat such an easy and stress free experience!!!
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We take customer service very seriously and are delighted to receive such positive feedback about the team in Richmond. Our people are fantastic at what they do and we are thrilled to read that both Matthew and Cameron delivered an outstanding level of service to you.

GoogleOur experience of working with Rory at Hamptons Richmond during our home-selling process was simply excellent. Rory has a calm and reflective demeanour and was incredibly responsive, dedicated, and collaborative. We also found him to be extremely ethical and transparent, and his advice was always listened to and respected. He is a senior estate agent whom we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us! It was a pleasure working with you during the home-selling process. We appreciate your recognition of Rory's exemplary qualities and we're glad he was able to provide excellent service. Thank you for the recommendations, we truly value your trust.

GoogleJon at Richmond Office achieved the sale of my property at a very good price in circumstances which were less than ideal. There had been significant structural repairs which led to buyer caution and Jon dealt professionally and knowledgeably with these issues. He was always responsive and available to review progress and followed up “after hours”. Jon liaised very effectively between buyer and seller and his enthusiasm is second to none. Hamptons would certainly be my choice for the future.
Thank you for the great feedback Duncan. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and are thrilled to hear that your experience with Hamptons Estate and Letting Agents Richmond was exceptional. The team will be pleased to read your review!

GoogleWe had a great experience finding and securing our rental property through Hamptons Richmond. Our agent Sheila O'Brien was so friendly, professional and incredibly helpful - we were relocating from New York which added a layer of complication to our move but Sheila worked closely with us to navigate timezones, remote viewings and offers, paperwork, etc. making the process remarkably stress free.
Thank you for your review Briony. We pride ourselves on exceptional service and are pleased that your experience has been a great one. We look forward to sharing your review with the team!

TrustpilotTia Gooden - outstanding and professional service
Hamptons' team makes it a great and efficient company. Special and extra thanks to Tia Gooden. As a portfolio manager she always demonstrated perfect skills, excellent service and attention to every detail. The most unique quality is in managing to always find a proper balance between interests of all sides involved, leaving everybody happy. Tia Gooden is highly recommended as a fantastic professional. Personally this made the experience with Hamptons an easy and enjoyable one.

We have been very impressed at how professional the approach has been when needing things fixed through Lockdown. We have had a number of Property Managers since starting our tenancy, Melanie Hudson is by far the best! She is personable, professional and highly efficient! A massive thanks is required and she's a pleasure to deal with. After having some horrible experiences with lettings companies and property managers, it is a breath of fresh air. :)
Thank you for leaving us a review, we are delighted to hear you had such a positive experience and look forward to sharing your feedback with Melanie and the team. Thank you again.

TrustpilotReliable, Professional, and willing to walk the extra mile.
Hamptons has helped us both in purchasing and managing our property. Their service is Professional. They are systematic, well structured and organized, yet accommodative and patient. They respond in good time and are always willing to be engaged with clients for other options to resolve problems. Willing to walk the extra mile to get results. Good management. We are deeply thankful to Victoria Beckett and her team of staff Grace, Anna, Molly and others who have all ably helped us to solve all our problems since 2021.

TrustpilotHelpful estate agents that went the extra mile
We dealt with Sharon James at Hamptons when we rented a property last month - she came across honest and down to earth. She was always punctual and organised when sorting out everything we needed from viewings to getting all the referencing checks sorted. When one of our checks failed, she went the extra mile to sort it out for us and so luckily we still got the rental property, when it seemed at one point like it was going to fall through. I'd recommend working with Sharon again.
