Most professional and supportive!

John Donohoe offered the absolute best service! He completely understood what I was looking for, and tailored the search for my requirements - he was honest, transparent and really helped me refine the search! He was extremely professional and supportive throughout the exchange of contracts and I can't be happier with my new home, thanks to him! Highly highly recommend working with him!

Disgraceful

The worst experience I have had from a Residential Letting Agency.Interior of building filthy, accounts department demanded money in unpaid rent incorrectly, harrassed during Lockdown by property management team and they cut off Gas supply meaning no access to hot water, heating or cooker. Wouldn't allow tenant to read their own gas or electric meter. No emergency call out, boiler broke on several occasions, again left without any heating or hot water during the winter.Customer service doesn't reply to any contact requesting help

Very supportive property manager

Rebecca Leigh is a very supportive property manager. She responds to emails quickly and always does her best to find the best solution for all parties.

It was a pleasure working with Chris

It was a pleasure working with Chris - Chris was very happy to help and very interactive making it a lot easier for me to complete my first flat purchase.

Pompous clowns

Tried to put my thatched cottage on the market with these pompous clowns. After several emails trying to communicate I finally got a call from them. Only for them to say they didn’t sell in my area. I reviewed their website to find this to be a lie. With reports of a shortage of homes for sale I find that it difficult to believe these arrogant people are still in business.

Please don’t use this company

Please don’t use this company. They were responsible for rental of our property for three years. Despite being asked to contact us for any repairs! Etc. They DIDNT!Would NEVER use them again. Had to contact them regarding this issue on several occasions, always an excuse, couldn’t get hold of you! Only after the main chance and they have contractors who charge Hugh amounts for any repairs. They think they can change what they like to landlords, my advice! Stay clear and do not use these sharks!

Fantastic rental management service

We rent out our family home through Savills, Sevenoaks, and have recently had a change in tenant. Our worries about doing this during Covid and a lockdown were unfounded. We had good advice from Savills about pricing and marketing it and less than a month turn around between tenants. During this gap there have been various bits to attend to and Savills were great at facilitating this, getting quotes and second opinions, organising appointments for trades. Unlike a previous management company who really weren’t helpful and just wanted an easy life for the money, Savills have been friendly, fair, efficient, communicative. I can’t say enough what a relief this is as we live a long way away.

Great experience with Oliver

I have had a great experience over the past few years with the professionalism the Savills team has provided, especially during Covid. My current property manager Oliver Hudson has been nothing but pro-active, professional, and helpful in dealing with issues related to my property.

I cannot recommend Olivia and the team at Savills Sevenoaks enough. They care about the tenants/buyers needs whilst delivering the best deal possible for the landlord/seller. We will definitely go to Olivia again in the future for our next move.

I am writing in regards to a viewing appointment

I am writing in regards to a viewing my partner and I had arranged last night (28/10/2020 - 16:45)We arrived at the property at 16:50, exited our vehicle and looked around the property. We found no agent available. At 16:55 i called the mobile of the agent we were meeting, there was no answer, I then rang the Savills office and was put on hold while the agent contacted the on site agent. The lady at the office was unable to contact the onsite agent and advised us she would ring us back. Once this agent was contacted (17:00) we were advised that the onsite agent had stayed until 16:55, if this was the case I'm shockedthat we did not see them while we were at the property. We were also told that the agent was too far away to come back to ourselves, the agent must be quite the driver to manage this with in 5 Mins. The agent at the office advised us that all viewing appointments are asked to be on time, I do understand this but perhaps some leniency could be practised, as the appointment we were offered was in working hours, with 3 persons having to leave work early and travel to the property. The agent at the property clearly luckier than ourselves in their journey home at avoiding traffic. We received no call from the office or onsite agent to ask our whereabouts either. In all our first experience with Savills seems to be rather poor, dishonest and quite patronising.

This particular review is for the Sevenoaks branch of Savills which is absolutely dreadful and has caused my partner and I a great deal of stress over the last year or so. We rented a property through Savills in the local area. Before and during the tenancy, they failed to establish a clear relationship between themselves and the landlord which therefore had a constant adverse affect on the communication and problems we faced with the property during our tenancy. From the initial application process and the communication during the tenancy to the eventual process of checking out, they failed in all areas to provide even an average level of service. They ignored calls and emails, often promising to get back to us but they never did. Whenever we did manage to speak with them, we were greeted with rude, dismissive attitudes. They shunned any responsibility they had towards the property, reminding us it was managed by the landlord - however they never seemed to communicate this fact properly with the landlord in question. They were dismissive, unsupportive and on one particular occasion- very sly! Not to mention, the immense pressure we felt from them during the uncertainty of lockdown back in March to sign onto another 12 month tenancy... Overall, do not waste your time either letting your property through this company OR consider letting one of their properties as a tenant. If you do, you’ll wish you’d seen this review sooner. We’ll be making a formal complaint about the individuals involved directly to head office in due course. Thank goodness we’re now settled and happy in a new property with an estate agents that have been great.

Professional team offering a personal service throughout the purchase process.

The professionalism of the entire team. Sholto Thompson was extremely helpful in carrying out numerous viewings with us. The follow up by Sholto, after purchase terms were agreed, was enquiring without being pushy. Any questions we had for him or his client were rapidly answered.

Savills have been our letting agents…

Savills have been our letting agents for the house that we rented for 12 years and now we have moved house this has been the worst experience we have ever had! We have had to fight to receive our bond money back from them and agreed payments for improvements that we have made to the house. They employ young people with posh accents and no idea what they are doing, they ignore phone calls and emails and there only concern us not upseting the guy in the village in case they loose out on a free shoot day!!!! They sell themselves as a high class estate agents but they are really just poorly run by an old boy network so steer clear of the rural lettings if you want a quiet life. Would not recommend at all!!!!!!

I’m incredibly pleased with the service…

I’m incredibly pleased with the service I received from Antony Cherriman at Savills in connection with the sale of my apartment.From finding potential buyers and helping me negotiate an ideal contract, he was always available and communicated how each part of the whole process would move forward. He also profoundly understood the need to reasure me that the process was going according to plan.Beyond his expertise and professionalism, he was very kind throughout the process. He answered all my questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring I fully understood what I was doing and why it was necessary.I’m so glad I chose Savills for my real estate process. Their knowledge and experience, combined with their patient approach, made this otherwise stressful event a smooth and successful process. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

Absolutely appalling sale experience

Absolutely appalling sale experience. Avoid at all costs. For a start, the brochure was so poorly written we had to re-write it ourselves. Our property (under £2m) was not deemed 'prime' and was handled by an arrogant and inexperienced junior member of the team, who failed to conduct the most basic due diligence on our potential buyer, took our property off the market without our agreement, failed to get us any further viewings, complacently relying on a single buyer who turned out to be anything but serious or remotely able to afford to buy our property. Arrogant, unprofessional, a complete waste of time and money, a very costly mistake.

Byeways - Thorpe-le-Soken

We have just exchanged contracts on our home, which will be our ninth move in order to downsize as we are now in our eighties. We first engaged a local agent and after virtually no interaction or feed back for months, we then engaged Savills and met Mr Jeremy Kemp. Jeremy’s professional and frequent reassuring advice proving not only financially beneficial but calming in a very difficult and protracted period, due to the Covid pandemic and our reticent buyer being in Iran, Luxembourg and Germany during negotiations. We are extremely grateful for the personal and first class attention that we have received and would always highly recommend Savills.

Rather than responding to my genuine complaint, they deemed it acceptable to simply offset my negative review with a fake positive one. To be honest, I’m hardly surprised. Avoid these people at all costs...

Experiencing Savills - the tenant's perspective.

As a potential tenant relocating from Denmark, and having not been a tenant since University days, I was walked through the process by the Savills team, who were prompt in their responses, knowledgeable &, even though they represent their client, consistently helpful.From start to finish, the exercise took only 10 days and was surprisingly uncomplicated. Since we moved into the rented property, the Savills team have followed through by offering the right kind of support by answering our odd query with their customary speed. If I was the landlord, I'd be delighted by their efforts. The only negative element was the efforts of of the third party specialist dealing with the inventory & key handover. When I raised the matter, Savills acted promptly and were on site quickly to correct the failed handover process.
