Savills estate agents

We found Savills to be a very professional company. The whole team who helped sell our home especially Chris Clifford were on the ball with every aspect.We were notified of the progress the whole way through to completion. Today we were delighted to receive a bottle of champagne totally unexpected but very welcome. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Claire Reynolds and the Marylebone team...

Claire Reynolds and her team at Savills we’re superb selling our 3 bed flat in Marylebone - incredibly efficient, professional, caring, and hard working. Claire found us a buyer within a week of instructing her and negotiated a very good deal for all parties. She was also very proactive during the conveyancing process and even helped reassure the seller and other estate agent on our onward purchase that all was well. Would thoroughly and absolutely recommend Savills.

Suzy Lambert of Savills is a delight to deal with

Suzy Lambert of Savills is the ultimate property sales manager. She is not pushy, she gives you the facts and lets you make up your own mind. She has integrity and is a model of discretion around the sales process - the fact that she will not divulge confidential info about the other party gives you confidence that she maintains the same wall around your info. What’s more, she is always cheerful and nothing is too much trouble for her. She made our viewing of countless properties over an extended period an absolute delight come rain or shine.

Communication is appauling

Communication is appauling. I have been promised a call back on 4 occasions from the same person about a property that was viewed.

I have been a client of Savills Harpenden for many years. Their professionalism and speed of response is something that I personally appreciate living overseas in a very different time zone. It has been a challenging time for everyone through the COVID pandemic & Savills have impressed me how they are dealing through these turbulent times. A special mention to Simone, Holly & Ryan for the continued help & support. Thank you it is much appreciated.

First Time Buyer

Last year I had the pleasure to work with Sophie Grannell from Savills surrounding my first purchase. Sophie was always available and open to answering any questions I had surrounding the process in addition to offering insight into elements outside of the house purchase itself. Overall working with Savills put a typically stressful situation into a balanced and easy-to-process transaction.

Lettings Property Management - Gus Young

The lettings team has managed my property for a number of years now and I've always found the team to be professional and responsive, taking a lot of care to understand any concerns I have had as a landlord and handled issues with diligence and consideration for all parties. Particularly in recent years, I would highlight Gus Young, who as my property manager I have been really impressed with the level of service, support and attitude that he exhibits in all our interactions and efficient way he deals with day to day property challenges. Would definitely recommend him to other landlords as a great manager.

Caring, considerate property managers

I experienced an accidental injury as our communal area light was broken. Aliya C our property manager is always super helpful, positive & quick to respond to any problem no matter how big or small. Within a few hours, we already had an electrician confirmed to come resolve the problem & within 3 days the issue was rectified completely and shockingly at no cost. Really impressed with the timely delivery as always. We’re lucky to have her as our property manager 🙂‍↕️

What an appalling company

What an appalling company. Where to start. I was interested in renting a property from them and the whole experience has been an abomination.My initial enquiry was dealt with there “ chat bot”. After taking all my details etc I was told somebody would phone me. First time, no call. Maybe excusable. This happened 6 times over a period of a few months. No contact whatsoever.I then out of the blue received an email from them, I replied with a few enquiries and they replied 4 weeks later!I have never spoken to anybody from Savills in 4 months of enquiries now.They are undoubtedly the worst company I have ever dealt, there incompetence and arrogance knows no bounds and there customer care is zero.Please steer well clear of this shower if your selling or buying,there are some great estate agents about, this is not one of them.

Never use Savills to manage your property

I am a landlord who has been so frustrated by Savills' property management services. We have worked with quite a few property brokers in both the US and UK and our experiences with Saviils has been far worse than anything we have experienced with any other firm. We rented out our house last Aug and hired Savills to manage for us. Although we never had any problem with our boiler for four years when we lived there, almost as soon as tenant moved in, high-cost contractors started to be sent into the house for the boiler. Every time, contractors blamed on different parts of the boiler and over 2,000 pound repair cost and nine months later, all of sudden, Savills said we needed a brand new boiler for another 3,000 pound. beyond the boiler, Saviils would send certain high-cost but ineffective contractors to our house against our explicit instruction NOT to use the particular contractor because they charge almost 400 pound once to remove a bedroom door knob and ask for another 300 pound to install a new one. Savills does not care about the costs of the repairs because that's not their money and all the repair costs come out the withheld rent. There have been several cases they would send in a contractor for some very minor things such as fasten a screw and every trip made by contractors would cost a few hundred pounds at a minimum. we complained this to Savills in writing many times and they have the typical big company attitude particularly because they are the ones that hold our rent. They have this highly unreasonable reserve fund from our rent receipts from which they liberally pay outrageous maintenance costs to their affiliated contractors. the staff's attitude is hardline "I don't care" towards landlord and it seems odd that we are the ones who actually pay them for the service. Even when there was a change in the property manager on our house, we were not even properly informed and the former manager just simply disappeared. Anyway, beyond money, it has been an extremely frustrating and stressful experience dealing with Saviils and I wish other landlords don't need to go through any of that.

I am utterly appalled by the shockingly poor communication and blatant disregard for clients exhibited by this letting agency. From the outset, their attitude was dismissive, condescending, and wholly unprofessional. It is evident that they prioritize only the high-end properties, those exceeding £10,000 in rent per month or valued above £1.2 million leaving anyone outside of that bracket to receive subpar treatment at best. The staff, including senior management, display a disturbing lack of professionalism and basic respect. Worse still, there is an unsettling undertone of discriminatory behavior in their dealings. It became increasingly clear that race and background influenced the way they treated clients, and the air of prejudice was undeniable. Such behavior is not only reprehensible but also illegal, and it is deeply concerning that they operate with such impunity. It seems that the condescending behavior of the lower-level staff is a direct reflection of the abysmal leadership at the top. The managers are entirely incompetent, displaying a startling inability to handle even the simplest of requests. Promises are made casually, with no intention of follow-through, and their indifference is palpable. The level of disrespect toward clients is staggering. It is clear that customer service and professionalism are foreign concepts to this agency. Their inability to communicate effectively and courteously, coupled with discriminatory attitude is both unprofessional and unacceptable. For an organization operating in such a competitive market, their lack of basic decency is not only surprising but deeply concerning. I would strongly advise potential clients to steer clear of this agency unless, of course, you are willing to pay exorbitant amounts, as they seem to only extend any modicum of effort toward those with substantial financial means. If you're expecting a level of service that reflects their industry standing, you will be sorely disappointed.

We've just purchased a property through Savills and would highly recommend them. We've had issues with other local estate agents but Savills were excellent throughout the whole process. We dealt with Sam and she was great at communicating through each stage. I would definitely use Savills again in the future.

This review is regarding the auction…

This review is regarding the auction side of SavillsA site came up for sale which I was very interested in, so I emailed the Savills agent but had no response, I followed this with about 6 emails to several email addresses given for the Auction team and also the live chat team asking for a viewing.No one phoned or emailed me back and when I eventually managed to talk to someone on the phone not only were they non apologetic for my experience they also promised that someone would call me. I explained that as it was an auction I could not bid on the property if I had not seen it. No one ever bothered to contact me. I wanted the property but without seeing it I cannot possibly bid, not only did Savills let me down they also let there vendor down as they are not providing the service that they have paid for.Never have I tried so hard to get a company to call me and been so blatantly ignored. Savills is a company I could trust, but there is no excuse that can be given for their lack of response to my requests which continued for 10 days without response from any of the emails or phone requests.Judging on the review score on trustpilot I am not the only one!!

First time buyer

As a first-time buyer, I recently participated in a Savills auction in Dagenham and purchased a property. Unfortunately, the experience was not what I had hoped for.The property was sold for more than what it was worth.It was not made clear that the property had no bathroom or kitchen.The contract required you to pay the seller’s legal fees, which was not transparent beforehand.The property had no clear title, which was a major oversight.The property may not gain significant value after renovations.

Appreciation to Mr. George Pride

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. George Pride for his services to me and my family on the management of the apartment 3.3 Percivall House in all the tenancies in the unit. I appreciate his prompt response to questions and problems from both the tenants and me, the ability to offer solutions to solve the problems and issues by mobilizing appropriate contractors and services. I would like to extend my special appreciation for his help during the period this summer when my family stayed in the apartment temporarily before the next tenant moved in. His professional help for me has been outstanding and I don't see any aspect that needs to be improved. I hope I will continue to enjoy the professional help George could offer.

Such an amazing experience with Simone at Savills Harpenden. We've been searching for a home to let in the area for months with little to no luck and many times were not even given a response by letting agencies in the area. Simone was very responsive, took the time to listen to our needs and was an incredible help to us. I would absolutely recommend Savills Harpenden.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Pleasantly surprising purchase experience

We recently purchased our apartment that was advertised by Savills Battersea. We would like to thank especially Tessa Cobb for her positive energy, dedication and her coordination with the sellers, solicitors and us. Her diligent work and follow up enabled the process to end in a month which was well beyond our expectations. We highly recommend her as an agent!
