Exceptional Service from Sarah Bainbridge and the rest of the Charters Winchester team!
I recently had the pleasure of working Sarah who went above and beyond to help my partner and me find our dream rental property. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication truly set her apart from the rest.From the moment we contacted her agency, she made us feel valued and understood. She took the time to listen to our specific requirements, preferences, and budget, ensuring that she had a clear understanding of what we were looking for. Her attention to detail and ability to match our needs with available properties was truly impressive.Throughout the entire process, our letting agent was incredibly responsive and proactive. She promptly answered all our queries, provided detailed information about each property, and arranged viewings at our convenience. Her excellent communication skills made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.What truly stood out about Sarah was her extensive knowledge of the local rental market. She was well-informed about the different neighborhoods, amenities, and transportation options, which helped us make informed decisions. Her expertise and guidance were invaluable in finding a property that met all ourNot only was Sarah professional and knowledgeable, but she also showed genuine care and empathy throughout the process. She understood the importance of finding a place that felt like home and took the time to understand our personal circumstances. Her friendly and approachable demeanor made us feel comfortable discussing any concerns or questions we had.In conclusion, our experience with Sarah was nothing short of outstanding. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to finding us the perfect rental property were truly commendable. We highly recommend her services to anyone in search of a reliable and trustworthy letting agent. She is a true asset to Charters and the industry as a whole. Thank you for making our rental property search a positive and enjoyable experience!

Thank you for all your patience and help
I cannot thank Charters in Romsey and latterly Charters in Chandlers Ford for their help in finding a buyer for our current home and finding a property to buy. Special thanks to Paul, Grace, Alice, Amy and Daniel, in Romsey, in particular, for your support and enthusiasm, which has been a great help to me over the months trying to find a buyer. You never gave up!! Thank you also to Oli, and Lily and Edward in the Chandlers Ford office for an equally fantastic service, with a smile. Fingers crossed for a smooth process going forward.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charters. Best wishes Wendy Ayres
Thank you Wendy for the review! Both Chandlers Ford and Romsey teams will be so pleased with the feedback.

In particular Lily Mott who first showed me around the property. She was very professional and also friendly She was very informative and was able to tell me everything I needed to know.
Thanks Sam!

A recent house move
A recent house move, at short notice was dealt with efficiently by Saty, our pre-tenancy manager. Saty kept us up to date with the progress and was really informative on our moving day.

As a landlord
As a landlord, I have used Charters for about six years and they have always found me very good tenants very quickly so the dead time between lets has been minimal.Sarah seems to take getting "the right family for my house" as a personal challenge.However, in addition Gary is always available for advice and his guidance on the market and how to maximise the presentation of the property is invaluable. Thank you guys.
Thank you for the review Kevin, Gary and Sarah in Winchester will be delighted.

We have just sold our house through Charters (Winchester) and I have to say that from start to finish they have been amazing! Very professional service but also very friendly, helpful and caring. An extra special thanks to Abbie in Sales, Jo in Sales Progression and Victoria (Valuations). Victoria is an absolute credit to Charters as she even replied to me when at the airport about to fly home from her holiday!!! Absolutely 5 ⭐️
Thanks Donna., the team will be so happy to read your review!

Renting in Winchester
Charters have provided a first-class service for the three years in which I have rented my one-bedroom flat in Winchester. Everything has been smooth, from viewing the flat to acquisition, liaising with the landlord about renewals, reporting things that needed to be fixed, beginning and end of tenancy, etc. Helen Nicol in particular has been great: easy to get hold of, quick to respond via email, efficient and understanding. Charters stay in regular contact but also leave you alone to enjoy the property. You can always pop into their offices where they are friendly and generous with their time. Couldn't recommend them more highly and would gladly rent or buy with them in the future!
Benedict, thank you for the feedback, really appreciate this.

Renting through Charters
We have been tenants through Charters Estate Agency, Winchester this year. The service provided by the company has been exemplary. Communicating with staff has always been easy, with someone readily available in the office. Consequently, any concerns have been responded to quickly, which I don’t take for granted. I would particularly like to mention Helen Nicol our main agent in the Winchester branch. Her assistance this year has meant we have had a trouble free and enjoyable experience whilst renting in the city. Thank you Helen and team!
Thank you very much for the review, it is really helpful for us here.

I instructed Charters as selling agent
I instructed Charters, Alton Branch with the sale of my home in a village just outside Alton. I met with Sarah Harris at my home address and found her to be knowledgeable of the area & current market. Sarah was very enthusiastic and relished the opportunity to market my property. It was a difficult time in my life but Sarah was highly motivated in achieving my goal of a sale. I had several other valuations that ranged in price, but felt confident with the valuation Sarah provided. It was a slow start around Christmas; to be expected, but Sarah and the team worked hard. Sarah really understood my situation and was empathetic to my need to find a buyer. This was achieved and my completion date is very soon. Sarah also went the extra mile for me when my return holiday flight was cancelled delaying return for two days. She took responsibility for ensuring a surveyor could access the property in my absence. I was immensely grateful for this. I would like to thank Sarah and the Charters team for all their hard work and Sarah for her support, tenacity and drive to achieve the sale.
Joanne, we appreciate the review, it is very helpful and Sarah will be delighted to hear this. Thank you.

Farnham Branch
Thoroughly recommend Kirstie in the Farnham branch - she’s helpful, responsive and lovely to work with.We put an offer on a property which didn’t work out but Kirstie assured us that she would find something else for us - within two weeks of this, she had come to us with another property and we have had our offer accepted! Amazing service!
Amazing news. Congratulations on your new home!

The team at Charters work together to achieve the best result
The team at Charters worked together to ensure that every opportunity was maximised & highly motivated individuals within the team worked to achieve the best possible outcome for me. I'd like to specifically thank Elle, Ashley, Sarah and Adrienne for their support without taking anything away from the others who all contributed in their area of expertise. In a difficult market this is exactly the team you need on your side!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the service you received - it is much appreciated.

So helpful!
I would highly recommend going to Charters if you are looking at renting a property in Winchester. Sarah Bainbridge has been exceptional. Not only she is a lovely person, but she has been very patient with us in finding the right place, when we really struggled to. Sarah has been answering all of our questions promptly no matter the time, and has been very helpful during the application process as well. If you are looking at renting in Winchester, ask for Sarah. She is really great!
Thank you Nina, we will make sure that Sarah receives your feedback!

Letting Experience with Sarah Bainbridge
After searching for rentals for several months, Sarah came through and delivered on all and every front. When we lost hope due to the extremely competitive nature of the market, Sarah was there to help, her perseverance ultimately being the reasoning for us (Partner and I) eventually finding a place. Sarah went truly above and beyond, extremely responsive with communication, working all hours and I cannot fault her. After our abysmal experience with a multitude of Estate Agencies in Winchester, Charters, and more importantly Sarah, were reliable, punctual and delivered when we needed it. Would suggest using Charters if looking for rentals (as that's my only experience with them thus far) based on the excellent experience I have had with them.
Thanks George, this is great to hear - Sarah will be delighted.

Be careful when viewing houses with Charters. The estate agents will just lie and make things up. It was quite an experience talking to the seller and realising quite how many lies the estate agent had told. Probably the most annoying is that I was told the floor was engineered wood - it's actually vinyl. He also told me that the sellers would move as soon as the house sale went through - this was untrue. The sellers had stipulated that they would not move until the school holidays. The seller was surprised I didn't already know this.
Anna, please contact us on marketing@chartersestateagents.co.uk so we can discuss this with you further. We look forward to hearing from you.

I would like to thank Charter's
I would like to thank Charter's, their service has been great. Vanessa Joy, Charlie and the team in the sales office in Alresford been so accommodating and so friendly. Cheryl Pickett and her team behind the scenes who deal with all the ins and outs of the lease have gone above and beyond to help get any issues sorted and are so helpful and friendly Such a lovely team. I would thoroughly recommend Charters to any potential Landlords and Tenants. Thank you all so much.
Hi Lisa, thank you for the review, it is greatly appreciated.

Estate agents with integrity
Harry and all the team at Charters in Farnham made the whole process of selling my house as pain free as it could be.The communication was excellent throughout and everyone was unfailingly courteous, patient and timely over the whole period of the sale. Special shout out to Dee, who did most of the leg work and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Once the sale was agreed, Jo Goddard at the Southampton office worked tirelessly as the sales Progressor to get the deal over the line with same level communication and good advice as I had previously experienced.Selling a property can be such a stressful life event but I found with Charters a team of people with integrity and humour, who brought a level of humanity that is not always associated with the profession.
Robert, thank you for reviewing the service received. We are so pleased you had a wonderful experience throughout.

From initial visit to sale
From initial visit to sale, Mark Dryhurst and his team have been professional, interested and very respectful of the needs of my mother. They have been energetic in finding a buyer and have actively sold the house. Previous experience of other agents was that they merely opened the front door. Very happy to recommend.
Thank you for the recommendation Mrs Butler.

Jo Goddard from Charters Estate Agency…
Jo Goddard from Charters Estate Agency was so helpful and supportive throughout my nerve wracking 8 month long house purchase. Whenever I contacted Jo she always responded promptly and professionally. I would be happy to use Charters Estate Agency if I ever wish to move home again in the future. I should point out that the length of time the process took was in no way the fault of the estate agents but a problem buyer at the bottom of the chain
Thank you Sandra, for the amazing review!

So fast and extremely efficient!
My friends and I got in touch with Charters a week ago in regards to renting a property, Sarah Bainbridge (Lettings Negotiator) was able to provide a viewing that same day! As soon as we saw the property, we knew we wanted it, and Sarah was so friendly, clear and communicative with us in terms of starting the application process. She even sent us an email to get the ball rolling as we were leaving the building.We were determined to get things sorted as soon as possible (though with no pressure put on staff), and got straight to it. Sarah and her colleague, Martha O'Sullivan (Pre-Tenancy Manager) have both been so quick to respond and have been so immensely effective at helping us through the application/referencing/documenting process. Again it has been one week since we viewed the property, we are currently awaiting reference approval amd are set to move in the next couple of weeks.I cannot recommend Charters enough and am extremely happy (and fortunate) to have had their help.
Hi Abraham. Thank you for taking your time to review our services, this is great to hear.

The only agents I would use
Charters are the only agents I would use. I own a small one bedroom flat in Winchester which has been let via Charters since I have owned it, and they never fail to disappoint- with the most recent tenancy they managed to get £100 pcm over the asking price, and several further offers at the asking price- I don’t know how they managed this! Gary and his team are true experts and the whole team are very professional. Would always recommend Charters.
Hi Katherine, your review is greatly appreciated. Gary and the team will be so pleased with this.

Excellent service
I’d like to commend Emily Cuell for her services when dealing with estate managers especially. I got involved with Charters as a third party and Emily was not only a fantastic communicator but went above and beyond to make sure the issue got resolved in a timely manner. She was very helpful throughout the whole process and I cannot recommend her enough!
