Sarah Bainbridge is a lifesaver!

Sarah Bainbridge of Charters Estate Agents was a lifesaver! As a foreign academic researcher who needed to live in England for the school year, it was proving quite difficult to find housing and a landlord who would accept a 10 month lease, if possible. Most wanted all of the 10 months of rent up front, or 12 months of rent and no exceptions. Sarah communicated frequently with me, and when she heard about a situation that could meet my needs, she reached out and made it happen. Most other letting agencies just said, "good luck; the market is tough." Her staff have continued to help me jump through the many hoops to satisfy government requirements, share codes, and the like, and they did not insist on all 10 months of rent up front. Thank you Sarah and Charters!

Been with this agency from 2020 up…

Been with this agency from 2020 up until a few weeks ago. They started out as pure move and I’ve had nothing but excellent services from them, especially Peter, who goes above and beyond to resolve any issues may they arise. Both friendly and professional and I’ve never had any problems the whole 4 years I’ve rented from this agency. Would highly recommend this company to anyone. Very fair, understanding and trustworthy. Lovely people and lovely company to be involved with.

Second time renting through Charters

Second time renting through Charters, and I couldn’t ask for more! Both times Kirstie Stone has helped me find the right property and I totally feel that she is able to understand my needs and help me achieve them. Any questions or concerns that I have had Kirstie is able to help, and I couldn’t fault my experience with her.Chatters as a company are also great and extremely fast fixing a small issue with the boiler. Highly recommend.

Thanks Kirstie Stone from Charters!

We are in the process of renting a house managed by Kirstie Stone from Charters. She has been great taking us through the whole process and keeping us updated of the next steps. She's very easy to talk to (not like many other agents I have been dealing with) and very nice. She has also been very honest and has send all the necessary documents very quick to accelerate the process and help us move to our new home as soon as possible. I'm glad of dealing with a kind agent as I have had very bad experiences with previous ones. Thanks Kirstie!

Outstanding support from Cameron Broome and Stephen Henry

We have just exchanged contracts on our house move where we bought a property advertised for sale by Charters and were impressed throughout with the service we received as buyers.Cameron showed us a series of properties and took the time to really understand what we were looking for. We missed out on the first property we made an offer on but he showed great determination to find an alternative that would meet our needs and made a detailed pitch to get us to look at a property we had overlooked before. His insight on what we could achieve with this property played a key role in us ultimately making an offer which was accepted.Once we had agreed a purchase we were handed over to Stephen Henry in sales progression. Stephen was highly communicative and demonstrated an urgency to get the transaction complete, which was rare elsewhere in our chain.Thanks to both and all the team at Charters.

Competent and pleasant

It was such a pleasure to deal with competence and class at Charters, Southampton. Phil Northover was excellent, he valued the house and it sold for exactly what he said it was worth. I was kept up to date weekly as promised with updates from Phil, and had exactly the same service from Gemma in the sales progression team. A smooth process from start to finish and I have no hesitation in recommending Charters.

Search for a rental property

We were extremely pleased with the service we received from Charters Estate Agents. A big thank you to Kirstie Stone who went above and beyond to find us the right property for us. She was always at the end of the phone/an email if we had any questions, and she always responded promptly and with helpful answers. We are delighted to have found a property with Charters and look forward to continuing to work with them in the future.

Sarah Bainbridge was fantastic

Sarah Bainbridge was fantastic. As we were relocating from South Africa we started looking online. We made contact with Sarah and from the beginning was friendly and helpful. As we did not know the property rental market she guided us in the right direction. She understood what we needed. When we arrived in the UK she already had a few properties lined up and in no time we found a rental. She certainly elevated of the stress of moving to a new country.Thanks Sarah and Charters for the all the help.

A great experience :)

I had looked at many houses and dealt with many agents in my quest to find the right house. From the moment I enquired about one of Charters properties, Sarah was not only extremely efficient, professional and communicative but also really friendly and approachable and that’s important. She didn’t rush me through my viewing, was keen to make sure I’d asked all my questions, had all the information and didn’t try at all to pressurise me to make a decision. Nothing was too much trouble, videos were sent over quickly, I was kept informed and when Sarah wasn’t available, Gary was also great which shows they’re a good team. Charters have been a pleasure so I’d really recommend them :)

Selling a house as an executor of a will

Charters were employed to sell my late mother’s house. They were professional in their initial dealings and the quality of the brochure was first class.Once a buyer was found I was moved to a team within Charters who helped manage the final process, and it was here I was dealt with by a lady called Lisa Roberts who managed the process professionally and competently. I experienced some issues with both sets of solicitors but Lisa went beyond the expected to resolve these problems and finally get the sale completed.It was this service of keeping me informed, cheerful and always phoning back when she said she would that impressed me most.

Farnham and Alton lettings branch exceptional

It’s has been a breath of fresh air dealing with Charters in Alton and Farnham. Sarah at the Alton branch has a great and friendly personality and will go out of her way to help you. I was put in touch with Kirstie Stone in the lettings department at Farnham and she has been extremely helpful in keeping me up to date with properties at all times as well as arranging a viewing. Due to Kirstie being on annual leave, I then dealt with Jacqui McKeown who organised a viewing at the property I have decided to apply for. Jacqui has kept me up to date at all times by phone and email. All 3 ladies have been lovely and I would like to thank them for their help.

It is a very nice communication with Sophie Pickering and her team in Southampton. We are so happy to find the valuable and good property in Southampton for the subsequent term, Sophie has a very strong and friendly reply in both Email and Phone call to us! Thank you! I contacted charters estate agents for ocean village viewing and rent and made communications with Sophie Pickering who has been a massive help in the process. I can’t thank her enough, she is always quick to reply and efficient. Charters have been great in assisting with my friend and I, thank you!

We switched to Charters and it was the best decision

After listing our property with another estate agent with over 30 viewings without receiving a single offer, we decided to switch to Charters. We had previously interacted with Charters during our search for a new home and were particularly impressed with Tilly's approach. From our very first viewing with Charters, Tilly understood our needs and secured an offer for us!The entire process with Charters has been exceptional. Storme, Jonathon, and Tilly have communicated with us superbly, keeping us informed at every stage. We want to extend a massive thanks to Tilly, who has been a fantastic support on both the buying and selling fronts. Her knowledge, approachability, and proactive nature make her the ideal estate agent.Although we haven't found our dream home yet, we're confident Tilly will continue to keep us updated on potential properties that match our criteria. She consistently informs us about new listings, often before they hit the market, ensuring we're in there before anyone else.

Moving from Canada

my families experience with Charters was absolutely great. being a Canadian military exchange, our move was extremely stressful and charters made finding the perfect place for us to live much easier. not only did they help us find a wonderful place, they were exceptionally patient when it came to the bureaucracy that we had to go through to sign as a foreign national.Our agent Sarah Bainbridge was absolutely indispensable, and we would like to say a big thank you to her!

End of Tenancy Manager is Saving Grace

We had a somewhat tumultuous last tenancy, mostly down to our landlord, and were so very glad to be able to draw it to a close.However, not wholly unexpectedly, the landlord became challenging during the end of tenancy process.Madelein, Charters' End of Tenancy Manager, was on hand to provide sage advice, guidance and a great deal of empathy; all things that are often lacking, when you are a tenant.Madelein was able to support negotiating a mutually acceptable set of liabilities, and arrange a refund of our deposit.We were so grateful for Madelein, and being able to put a positive end to something that had been much less so, up to this point.

Great

Was greeted by office manager who was very polite. I requested certain paperwork and this was done straight away, no fuss.Toby is a very welcoming person, offered me a drink, and coffee while I waited for a lift to the viewing. Toby was engaging in conversation, made me feel at ease, and we were laughing.Was taken to the viewing, then dropped off next to my car in another car park. All of this was absolutely no problem for any of the staff.

Charters Estate Agents, Park Gate

The office is ideally situated in Park Gate. The staff are very friendly and amenable. Kerry Little, Sales Manager, has been proactive throughout our search to find a new home in the area. Not necessarily an easy task, as we gave them a narrow search area!

Excellent Support During a Stressful Time

I cannot thank Sarah Bainbridge enough for her outstanding service during a particularly stressful period when we needed to quickly find suitable houses to view. Her professionalism, dedication, and understanding made the process much smoother. Sarah was always responsive and proactive, offered great advice, and went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect home. Even though we eventually found our ideal rental home with another agent, I highly recommend Charters to anyone in need of a reliable and supportive letting agent.

Excellent service from Tilly Orsmond

We viewed a number of properties with Charters and primarily dealt with Tilly Orsmond. Although we have now made an offer on a new-build elsewhere, we'd like to note that she was always accessible, friendly, engaged and interested in our property search. She was extremely helpful, proactive and professional at all times and if our current purchase falls through she is the first person I will be giving a call!

Search for a rental property

We were looking for a family short term rental house due to an insurance problem with our home. Ashley Lovell @ the team at Charters were very helpful offering properties trying to matched our criteria given the limited options on the market at the time. Ash was very thorough and helpful sending emails and following up with phone calls. Although we found a property with a different company, we certainly were impressed with Charters as a company.

Professional and pro-active

After dealing with multiple agencies over the last few weeks, I can honestly say that Charters have been, by far the most professional, honest and pro-active of all of them. In particular, we dealt with Ella Burnet who helped make the process as seamless and the least stressful as we could have hoped for. Ella was both very friendly and extremely professional throughout. Thanks also to the rest of the team!
