Think Twice ! If you are about to rent an accommodation managed by Savills. I lived in Sienna House Sutton, their 'don't care' attitude drive me nuts

Think Twice ! if you are about to rent an accommodation managed by Savills. I lived in Sienna House, Sutton. All the issues or bad experience stem from their 'who cares' attitude as rental properties in Sutton are in high demand. Also, they use Community Utilities (CU) as the sole utilities provider at Sienna House which drove me (and a lot of other residents) NUTS.- I paid a higher price for an apartment with a bigger terrace, however, there was hygiene issue (pigeons) in the terrace. I could not even open the window next to the terrace because the feathers and the droppings of the pigeons. I reported /complained in March 2022 and it was not resolved (in fact, Savills did NOTHING ) until I moved out in early 2023. The residential team was very sophisticated in testing tenants' patience and let you give up. They knew that moving house is not easy especially when there was a high demand in rental properties. They were so kind to potential tenants when conducting site visit so that they always have a long waiting list but they will change their masks again when dealing with existing tenants- The sole utilities provider was Community Utilities (CU). They charged me ~390 GBP for the first 19 days. Apparently, it was wrong and it took months to get it corrected. During that time, I sent many emails and phone calls. Like Savills, they were good at testing my patience and resilience. There were many other cases of overcharge, non-issue of bills and then giving tenants surprises ....(search CU at Trustpilot and you can see other people feedback)- Community Utilities did not give the residents the credit of government energy support in the monthly bills since Oct 2022. It was only until late January 2023 when UC provided the tenants a link to the government website to apply the support directly. However, my application was declined by the government because I longer live in Sienna House when I applied. The website emailed me and asked me to contact UC to arrange. When I contacted UC (several times), their only answer were : Please apply through the government website. I felt like I was talking to robots. I was stuck now and lost several months of government energy support. The point about Savills was, when I moved out of Sienna House and applied for the refund of my rental deposit, Savills asked me to either (1) settle the last month of utilities bill in full issued by UC (note, no energy credit was ever given in their bills !) and provided the proof or (2) let Savills deduct the outstanding utilities bills and refund the balance. When I said to Savills that I will settle the bill by the deadline directly with UC because it is a matter between me and UC, Savills said No REFUND will be sent to me until the utilities bill was settled. With that, I suspect that UC (Savills also named it 'Amber' ) and Savills were related companies. Now, when I emailed UC (cc Savills) asking for help regarding the missing energy support, Savills acted like they were non-exist (note ! Savills was super helpful to UC when collecting the money from the last utilities bill). Savills and UC were a perfect combination in testing my patience and stress tolerance. Should I just regard myself as unlucky and let go while all of my friends have already received 400GBP support already by end of March 2023 ?I am keen to see whether Savills will take my feedback seriously and try to help. As a tenant of Sienna House, I had to use UC, not at my choice at all. I hope Savills will provide me with a practical way of contacting someone who can really help (not the residential management team at Sienna House because I have given up on them)

Very professional service! Highly recommended!

Very professional service! Highly recommended!5/5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 English is our second language, but Mr Greg & Mr Jay from Savills helped us a lot to explain everything to us, and they even offered an extension in order to help us getting all our funds on time, and they even discussed with our solicitor, in order to speed up the process and work together to have a smooth and pleasant transaction.I will recommend Savills to all my friends and relatives. Very nice properties for a live auction where you can make your bid very easy and enjoy the bidding process in the mean time.Once again, thanks again for all your help. Hope to have this transaction completed soon.

We recently moved into a property managed by Sarah, who has been quick to address the odd teething problem. We are very happy in the property and most grateful to Sarah.

Condescending and rude attitude but good with response times and viewings

Viewings went well and very responsive. However I did not expect to be spoken to rudely and in a condescending manner from a particular member of their team. Marketing themselves as an agent providing great service but i found the service other than viewings and response time to be extremely poor. Senior member of staff was not helpful either and did not take a balanced stance after complaint submitted.

Excellent Block Management

While I can't (yet!) speak for Savills' service more generally, the manager for my particular building (Shikha) has been on top of every problem I've raised and unusually proactive in resolving them.

Ellis and Savills were simply incredible

Working with Ellis and the team at Savills was an incredible experience. Selling a home in the UK when we are living in Sydney, was stressful at times not being close by and on the right time zone. Having Ellis overseeing everything for us was incredible and we felt so confident with the entire process we couldn’t recommend her or Savills more highly. So professional and efficient and the perfect representative for our beautiful home. We felt in very safe hands which was very comforting from the other side of the world.

Couldn’t speak more highly about Savills and their (especially Peter Norgrove’s) handling of our recent house sale and purchase. Peter went above and beyond at every turn, truly. Worth every penny of fee difference to other agents: and more.

We've completed the purchase of our dream house with Imy Blunt. Imy was very responsive and proactive. She kept us up to date in every step. Without her efforts we wouldn't be able to complete the purchase in such a short time. I would highly recommend working with Richmond Savills and Imy.

Fiona is professional, efficient and considerate throughout all the matters that we've had to deal with this year. I truly appreciate the support of Fiona, as well as the wider team under Laura Bushell, and highly recommend them.

Thanks for everything!

Thanks to Sholto for persevering with what turned out to be a tricky one after our buyer pulled out at the last minute. We got there in the end, and it was great to know that he was keeping an eye out for us to keep the sale moving forward. Thanks again!

Thank you Harry Burge for helping us with a challenging situation, looking for move young children and a puppy within a short period of time. Harry is always attentive and well-mannered, it has been a very positive experience. Mandy Hurst who manages the post-move process is responsive and has been really helpful so far! We are really glad we worked with Savills this time cos of Harry and Mandy!

Having spoken with numerous agents in the Richmond Area, Savills were the clear front runner - based on honesty, client book, knowledge, professionalism and more importantly the clear care and value they put in doing the right thing for you. Rosa Halliday was my agent - I could not have been happier with her. Rosa took time with me to get to know us and our property in order to translate to viewings, and had it sold before reaching double figures in the viewing count. Simply put - Rosa and Savills were awesome.Moving home is stressful - having Rosa on my side took the vast majority of that dress away.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Sophie helped me find the perfect rental in Richmond within a week of me contacting her. I registered my details and within a couple of hours Sophie was back in touch with a property that had not been marketed online. She kept in close contact with me on what’s app over the 2 days until I could get to view the property. When I made my offer she coached me on how best to secure the property and we had an acceptance within 24 hours of offer. I would highly recommend Sophie.

Lack of integrity and competence

There was very little factually accurate information that the Savills agent shared during the sales process from the kind of building, location of the car park through to what the service charge covered. They don’t provide the essential materials but expect you read every detail of their marketing brochures which the agent herself lacked knowledge - no value in dealing with the agent and what’s the purpose if their expectation is to read in detail the marketing material. A commission not earned for lacking the requisite skills and knowledge to make an honest sale. Since when did marketing material become the most important documentation taking precedence over what the agent communicates. They are bound by a code of ethics and speaking to the property ombudsman makes the standards clear yet they get away with not demonstrating the standards including using confidential client information inappropriately. Very disappointing and it’s a poor decision to engage them or trust anything the agent communicates especially when you’re forced to work through them as a sole agent as some developers insist. An all round unpleasant experience with defensiveness, a lack of analysis, rigour and zero accountability for any of their words and actions.

DO NOT USE "Greedy Sales Reps & Lairs"

Do not use. Unless you get everything on paper/email from them. And I mean everything as their representatives will try anything to get a sale with false promises and late lie about it ever been mentioned or offered. Have witnesses and log everything. Do not take the name as they are professionals many of representatives keen to get sales. That is their goal not the customer. My statement maybe very strong but I have proof and now have to undertake a complaints from wasting my time and energy whilst had to incur costs on sale that was a lie.

Best lettings agent experience

Yesterday, myself and my housemate had been doing a long day of unsuccessful viewings. After feeling very defeated, I got a call from Savills where I spoke with Nikita. It was almost 6pm and she offered to let us view a property around the corner to where we currently were. We loved the house so much and put in an offer straight away!!If it wasn't for Nikita being so lovely and accommodating we wouldn't have had the chance to see this property and get an offer in, in the nick of time.Thank you so much Nikita!!

Savills agents harassing buyers ignoring questions asked

I dealt with Mandy White at Savills Nightingale Lane. House sellers. Be aware! Aggressive estate agents habitually harassing potential buyers without any intention to facilitate communications or unblock buyers' questions DISGUST buyers and DRIVE THEM AWAY.It's common sense estate agents only care about their own commission but Mandy White really takes it to a whole new level:1. Aggressive HARASSING WITHOUT PROVIDING INFO: I had almost 3 weeks of crazy emails/calling every single day yet NOT responding to my questions about the property & missing important documentation. She was chasing me to pay for survey while key information was missing and she was the one who should chase the sellers. Turns out she did not care about my questions till I made it clear this blocks the situation then she started doing her job. 2. Nonsensically SABOTAGING AN AGREED SALE that almost came to the end: My searches were done and I paid for my own survey scheduled in 3 weeks. She tried to force me to use her survey providers saying if I stick with my survey provider they will put the flat back on market. So they did.Putting the property back on market AFTER I paid for searches & survey?? This is nonsensical. No new buyer will proceed quicker than my process in its final stage.Frankly she has been such a nightmare that not having to deal with her anymore started to sound pretty good to me. Living in that property may remind me of just how much harassing I had to go through to find my home!My first flat viewing was in 2014 and just when I finally thought I found the right place with search results coming out fine, Mandy White is making it unnecessarily difficult just because I want to use my survey provider recommended by my trusted friends. I not only wonder what kind of estate agents she is but also what kind of human being she is.Sellers, you want smart estate agents who know how to facilitate communications and unblock situations. AVOID the harassing/sabotaging type like Mandy White.

Thanks to Ruaraidh and Sandra. Angus Office

Huge thanks to Ruaraidh and Sandra in the Angus office. We had made the mistake of first trying a generic estate agency firm in order to potentially save some money in selling out property which simply resulted in two months of frustration and angst. Changing to Savills was transformational. At the first meeting it was clear that the knowledge and experience about how best to market our property and how be best to approach the sale was on a different level. The result was a feeling of confidence that we were in professional hands. The bonus of an early sale was obviously welcome.

TESSA THE SUPER STAR

Savills were an amazing agent to deal with, especially our super star agent Tessa. From first dealing with Tessa it was easy. We had a long, and difficult sale but Tessa was patient, persistent and more than anything positive. She was incredible at communicating on all aspects (she set up an WhatsApp group which was perfect) she offered guidance and advice when needed. Out of all agents we have ever dealt with she was the most humble, friendliest and also relatable (where similar ages so maybe that’s why). She also came to see us on the day of completion, ensured everything was as it should be. She was FANTASTIC, I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.
