I am absolutely disgusted with the director of the Staines branch. I decided to make an offer on the property they had advertised with a very high deposit but the sheer way that we were spoken to by him and pushed to the point of belittling us was awful to want a higher offer. Coming from a sales background - offending a potentially buyer to not wish to deal with your agency again is not the right way to do business and if that’s what he promotes to his staff he should step down. This was purely the disrespect from the agent that made me do a complete u turn to not deal with this director again. It seems my offer wasn’t submitted at all as no one got back to me with the outcome either so they pick and choose what offers to put to the vendor. Not right practice.

Seymours (Camberley)excellent

We used Seymours (Camberley). Oliver and his team handled our sale very professionally. Good communication with the buyer and their solicitor, wise advise to us when things weren't progressing, prompt responses whenever we called. Would use them again.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

If only it gave an option to leave not a single star……Where to even begin with this business. I’m glad to see their most recent review is fitting of my post and I’m only too pleased to carry on where the last post finished.Seymour’s Camberley are a disgusting, shameful representation of an estate agent who repeatedly fell well short of their promise. After taking their advice to market our property a little over two weeks in with no viewings confirmed and no contact until prompted from them we receive an email suggesting we need to reduce the value of our property by £10,000.After querying this we then received an incredibly rude phone call from the office manager. We subsequently parted ways with Seymour’s and were advised only when arriving atthe office that our key had already been put in our letterbox, what a waste of time.Having later checked the letterbox only to discover our keys were not in their and they had no explanation as to why this had occurred, again portraying to us that they are not the business they show themselves to be and one that has left a terribly bitter taste in my mouth.For anyone reading this post please think twice before approaching them as a business and make sure you do investigate using another agent over Seymour’s.

Biased and unfair, total disregard to the tenants once locked in

Once the tenant is locked in, Seymours show their true face! In a situation of an early move out (3 months before the end of the 12 months contract), they imposed excessively biased conditions to take advantage of the situation for their benefits and the benefits of the Landlord client. In this situation I happen to be a tenant, but I am a professional landlord myself with a portfolio of properties and work with multiple agencies. Fairness to both the landlord and the tenant is key to any decent professional agency. This hasn't been the case so far with Seymours Woking. Add to this they are terribly slow in responding and you get to chase so many times to get a tiny step forward.

Extremely poor service - Camberley Lettings Department

Extremely poor service from the Camberley lettings department. Been chasing about viewing a property and was told I would receive a call back the next day. I’ve rung every day since only to be told that the letting agents are ’all out on viewings’ and that a message would be taken. Again I haven’t heard anything. They are now not answering the phone or replying to emails.

Letting with Seymour's a landlords point of view

As landlords Seymour's managed our property for 30 months.Initially we were with Seymour's of Blackwater when they closed their lettings department we were moved to Woking with no consultation and very poor communication.We were promised one point of contact but on moving to Woking we had to deal with several members of staff e.g. one for repairs, another for check in, yet another for check out, none of which was explained to us! These internal departments did not communicate with each other and we spent endless hours making telephone calls and sending emails.Living in another country was difficult enough but for any issues we had to constantly chase them. We as landlords wanted to make sure that the tenants had a comfortable and safe place to live, therefore we acted on any issues as soon as we were notified. However Seymour's would take days to respond and send out repair men, making the tenants believe we were at fault.As an letting agency they are unresponsive, unprofessional and not interested in either tenants or landlords.The only thing they are interested in as their fee.We always felt they were working against us not for us. At the end of our contract they retained part of our deposit for fees we had already paid at their instruction. Do not use this agency find someone else.

Thanks to Joe and his teams perseverance and unstinting efforts we sold our house and moved out last week. Seymours of Ripley are a great advertisement for well run local independent estate agents, and deserving of 5 stars.

Damp, mould, rodent infested properties.

AFter a years of living in a damp/mould/rodent infested property that was falling apart quite literally, emailing them every few days practically begging for repairs to be made to no avail. After contacting the council to in an attempt to force themTo actually make repairs. After the council giving hem 6 weeks to carry the works out. 6 months later - none don the jobs were completed.Now they are trying to extort money fromMy deposit because of damage their lack of repairs has caused. Avoid Seymour’s like the plague. Staff are incompetent. Once you’ve asked for repairs to be done you willBe treated like a second class citizen.Despite my partner and I sticking to the terms of the agreement - Seymour’s wouldn’t stick to their end and make the home habitable for human habitation.Absolutely disgusting

Lightwater Office

The team at the Lightwater office kept us informed through the initial stages and subsequent viewings. They achieved a lot of viewings in a short period. Krisy Ehret our client relationship manager once offer accepted was outstanding in her support.

Disgusting property - bunch of extortionists.

Both Seymour’s and the landlord didn’t maintain the property when my partner and I lived here. Damp/mould issues...constant water leaks into the property...never got addressed...rat/mice infestation the landlord refused to do anything about.Has to write a letter to the council - the council gave them a notice to complete all works within 6 weeks. They didn’t do it . The council didn’t offer any more solutions either. Now I’ve left the property the landlord has the audacity to try and extort money from my deposit. For damage that I haven’t caused.Disgusting .Long story short if you want a decent experience/customer service /to live in a property that is in line with the human ha oration act 2008 don’t use Seymour’s and don’t rent 47 courtenay road unless you want serious health consequences.

A relaxed purchase

The experience from viewing to completion was very relaxed, they assisted with the negotiation and all my questions were answered quickly. A sale by beneficiaries can be difficult but it was clear thy had an excellent rapport with the vendor. Being new to the area all their recommendations were very helpful which help with a very speedy completion. Definitely a five star experience

Avoid Seymours at all costs

Avoid Seymours at all costs. They are quick enough to take your money and then cling onto it when you move out. We moved into our property in October 2020 and had nothing but problems. Problem after problem, no hot water, no bath plug, a shower curtain where the pole fell down every time you got in, blocked drains, broken windows, no heating, no lights in bathroom, no extractor fan and the list goes on. We moved out 2 weeks ago and still awaiting our deposit. They have gone round and said we are liable and will be charged for things that were already there. It’s funny how Seymour’s do the check in report so they don’t note anything down, whereas the checkout report is done by an external company. Why’s that? Oh to find any reason to not give us our deposit back. We moved out because our windows never worked when we moved in. I reported the problem early March stating the windows do not open and we moved out last week of September and still had no indication what was going on with the windows. We have a 1 year old child and to live in a flat where the windows didn’t open was not on. Not only was this illegal as was deemed a fire escape from the fire service, we were not offered any air con units or any fans. The landlord accepted a 25% reduction in rent but what’s that when we were living in a sweat box. A few of our neighbours didn’t have anything nice to say about Seymour’s and I totally see why. I will never ever rent or buy through Seymour’s and I wish I listened to the reviews before we went with Seymour’s.

Brilliant service from beginning to end. Ben valued the property within one day of call. Marketing material was impressive and very professionally produced. Property sold at very good price within 4 days. Josh took over from there. He liaised directly with the local solicitor acting on our behalf. He kept in constant contact and kept all parties on board throughout. He accompanied all viewings, as we were unable to be there. He even stepped in and oversaw the house clearance when the company arrived early and we were "parked" on the M25.Superb service. Ultra efficient and totally professional.Great company.

Whole team worked to see things through.

Phone always answered promptly by someone who knew what was going on. Felt that the whole team was trying to help things through. Once they'd got the sale, having Sandra, the client relationship manager, to make sure everything completed was a huge help.

My experience with Seymour’s has been great from my first contact with them. The team worked hard to get potential buyers through the door which led to finding a buyer.They continue to keep in touch through the selling process to ensure that all goes as smoothly as possible.I highly recommend them.

Thank You Seymours

Fab team at Seymours, super helpful. Our property fell through due to problems with the buyers. Seymours surpassed our expectations and had another buyer in place and able to proceed within the week. Amazing service, very professional and helped us all the way throughout the process and kept all the plates spinning on our behalf to ensure we completed on schedule. We can't thank the team enough, without them we certainly would not have been able to move home. We would (and have) highly recommend Seymours to anyone wishing to buy or sell their property.

Friendly, Professional, Efficient, Fantastic

The team at Seymours were able to find us a buyer (at asking price) very quickly after a few months with no luck under a different estate agent. Their sales and client relations team are all extremely professional and friendly and explain things in leyman's terms for those of us who have little knowledge of how property sales work! The team looked after us from start to finish and were friendly and approachable throughout, and also helped us to agree on a nice early exchange and completion for our sale. I would thoroughly recommend Seymours if you are looking to buy or sell your property.
