GoogleFull marks to Damian, Jodie and the team at Horts Estate Agents in Rugby in both enabling us to sell our house and enabling us to purchase a lovely bungalow in the same area through them.
Damien and his team guided our sale and purchase seamlessly whilst regularly keeping us informed on how things were progressing. The service that we received was efficient and professional throughout. I thoroughly recommend using Damien at their Horts Rugby office for any Estate Agency/property requirements that you may have.

GoogleI couldn’t recommend Horts Estate Agents (Rugby) highly enough. I bought my home through them and from start to finish, they demonstrated honesty, integrity, and genuine support. Ian and Jodie were fantastic, always responsive, proactive in chasing solicitors, and ready with solutions to any challenges I faced.
Buying a house is a stressful process, but thanks to their guidance and dedication, I felt supported every step of the way. I made an offer at the end of June and moved in by the end of September, an impressive turnaround that wouldn’t have been possible without their help.
Thank you, Horts team!

GoogleI can not recommend Spencer Blake at Horts highly enough. He has been the glue in the chain I was in and he wasn’t my estate agent, he was the agent of the house I was buying, he worked so hard with all of the chain, speaking to all the solicitors involved and we exchanged in 11 weeks. If I was to sell my house I would be straight on the phone to him and I will recommend Spencer to family and friends

GoogleI can't recommend Mike Cruikshank at Horts highly enough. He was extremely responsive and helpful and just had so much more drive and enthusiasm than any of the other agents I approached.
He sorted out everything get my Dad's house marketed in a few days and we had agreed a sale just over a week after that. Unfortunately my Dad's new home fell through, but Mike was very proactive in highlighting good alternatives to move to. Due to a change of circumstance we ended up withdrawing from the market which Mike also handled quickly and fairly. We wouldn't hesitate to choose Mike again if we need to sell in future.

GoogleIan Smith and the team did an excellent job marketing the property, keeping us informed throughout the ups and downs, and advising us well on pricing. He would be my first point of call if I had another property to market in Rugby.
Thank you again, Ian and team.

GoogleWe sold 2 properties through Horts Estate Agents in Rugby Warks.
The staff were always polite and helpful. We were kept up to date with the process of the sales, and our telephone calls to Horts, were always returned if necessary.
A special thank you to Michael Cruickshank, who went above and beyond, in what turned out to be a complicated sale.

GoogleWe purchased our first house through Damian at Horts over 10 years ago and the service we received from him was so good, when it came to repeat the process all these years later we went straight to Damian. We sold two houses through him and the service we received was second to none. He kept us informed every step of the way, he was honest, courteous, friendly and gave us expert advice. Should we decide in the future to repeat the process he will be the first person we will call.

GoogleIan Smith completed the sale of my property on Monday. His service has been superb throughout what ended up being a longer process than expected. He pushed things along when needed and was always available when required. Ian went above and beyond in many areas as I have now moved away from the area and so he took control of so many elements of the sale. Ian stood out to me when I was looking for properties a couple of years ago and so I decided to get specifically in contact with him to deal with the sale. I’m glad I did - I can’t recommend Ian highly enough.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleMicheal (sales agent) and Jodie (after sales coordinator) were both great. Very helpful and personable and got the job done. Micheal is a great salesman. And just is really good at his job. Once the sale was agreed, we had a couple of hiccups (nothing to do with Horts), as is possible with any sale. Jodie kept us up to date all the way. We really relied on her and Micheal to keep us informed as no one else was doing that until right at the end. They also kept things progressing as much as they could. My partner said that he'd give them 5 stars as well. We're hoping not to move again but if we did, we'd use Horts and would certainly recommend based on our experience.

GoogleExcellent team at Horts.
Damian valued my property and discussions around price and marketing were relaxed open and honest. Damian, Ian and Michael all did viewings for me with good feedback that we could build on.
After accepting an offer we had issues with solicitors. Jodie was progressing this which was a challenge because my solicitors were harder to contact than ghosts! Though Jodie and the team kept me sane throughout the solicitors shenanigans!

GoogleI live in the US and found myself in a situation where I had to sell my parents' family home after the death of my mother and placing my father in a long-term care home. I contacted three estate agents by email. Ian Smith of Horts called me in the US straight away. In Ian, I found a no-nonsense, down to earth and experienced person whom I decided to trust with the sale of our family home.
Looking back, I absolutely made the right decision. Ian went out of his way to support the sale of the home. He found the right buyer, not just any buyer, matching the person to the family home, which is what I had hoped for.
The journey from offer to closing was slow for legal reasons but Ian was instrumental in making the whole process go to completion after I appealed to him for help. He also helped deal with some plumbing and electrical issues with the home and when it came to a required structural survey, Ian again came through, all in a timely manner. He is truly an awesome person, and I would unreservedly recommend him and Horts to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

GoogleWe sold a rented property last year and used Ian Smith at Horts - Estate Agents in Rugby. When we came to sell another property this year, we had no hesitation in choosing Ian again. This time, the property was in Lutterworth, outside Ian's area, but he agreed to take it on. And once again, his wealth of experience and know-how were invaluable to us, and the sale went through very smoothly.

GoogleWell what can I say. Apart from an huge thank you to Ian Smith and the team who provided fantastic, professional service with the sale of my late aunts home. Horts provided, right from the start a good valuation, right through to the complete sale of the property. Ian was able to help us in providing professional guys who sorted a few problems we came up against and it was dealt with very quickly and at a very reasonable price The issues consisted i.e a plumbing problem with one of the toilets and electrical issue with the built in oven and getting a building surveyor out to look over and confirm the property was in perfectly good condition when there was a question from the buyers surveyor, this contained a full written report. Ian arranged everything taking the stress away from us as sellers and we just can’t fault the service Ian and the team gave us in getting everything sorted out to help with the completion of the sale. I highly recommend Ian and the team for any sale/ purchase of property. You couldn’t ask for more, but you certainly get a lot of professional assistance to the end.

GoogleOur experience with Damian from Horts Estate Agents helping us with our first house was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we stepped into the house viewing until the day we completed, Damian displayed professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care.
I highly recommend Damian and Horts Estate Agents for anyone looking to buy or sell their house.
Jodie was helpful in chasing our sellers as well as solicitors and made the house buying process less stressful.
They also made sure the process progressed well.
We had a viewing with Ian as well who was friendly and professional.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleOur dealings with Horts, started off with Damian showing us round our (potential first home at the time) new home, giving us a full run down of the property, any work needing immediate attention and plans that he had on the property if it were him buying. Safe to say, we were sold on his enthusiasm of the property and great advice on questions we had. Although we didn’t deal with Damian much through the sales process, it was great to catch up with him after the sale went through and discussing future plans and sharing ideas. I’d recommend Damian to anyone looking to buy in the surrounding area, real genuine friendly gentleman, full knowledge of the area and happy to help when and wherever.

GoogleFrom start to finish, the service I received from Horts when selling my property in Rugby was fantastic. Ian Smith in particular was professional, readily available, and always happy to help. The initial valuation Ian gave was fair and realistic, demonstrating his vast knowledge of the local market, and the photos he took for marketing purposes really showed the property off to its best. Communication from the wider team was also timely and helpful. I would have no qualms in recommending Ian to anyone buying or selling in the area - he was a pleasure to deal with.

GoogleI honestly couldn’t be happier with the service I’ve received from Horts. After a really stressful experience with a previous tenant, I was feeling quite disheartened, but the team completely turned things around for me. They took care of absolutely everything, from arranging for the property to be redecorated to chasing up the insurance and finding lovely new tenants in no time.
What really stood out to me was how supportive and proactive they were throughout the whole process. They kept me informed every step of the way and made what could have been a nightmare situation feel easy and stress-free.
I’m so grateful for all their hard work and genuine care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Horts to anyone, they’ve been absolutely brilliant.
