Words can’t describe how terrible the Hamptons experience was

Title - Hamptons made what should be one of the most exciting achievements of someones of life to one of the most painful, stressful and least enjoyable things I have had to go throughDon't get me wrong, buying a house can be very stressful but it can be made a far lot easier with a high quality estate agent - unfortunately Hamptons fall well below "high quality" from my experience.When people write reviews or provide feedback it's usually because they expect something back, perhaps a refund, an apology, looking out for others etc. I know there is nothing I am getting back from this, so why am I spending my free time writing up my feedback......it's purely to make sure nobody else has to go through the same nightmare and deal with the same attitude of the individuals I dealt with.I have read a few other reviews to see if my experience was a one-off and seeing some of the other comments, unfortunately it seems a few others have had a similar experience.Since day 1 of the discussions, the feeling of excitement quickly changed to a feeling that this wasn't going to be an enjoyable process. A few words to describe the way I was spoken to were, rude, unprofessional, bullied, harassed, arrogant ("I have been doing this job 12 years, don't question by ability"), defensive (there is no accountability when things don't go wrong), not being able to apologise for blatant errors. Attitude aside, the quality and detail of information provided was incredibly poor - documents scanned incorrectly (missing pages), incorrect information provided, there was even information that was hidden during the process that could have put me at financial risk. I only became aware of this information through my own research into the property. If I had known about it in the earlier stages I wouldn't have gone ahead with the purchase but given I was financially committed by the time I was aware, it was too late.Deadlines were set daily and when I needed something done there could be weeks between getting an answer. The buyer should feel like the estate agent had control in the process, at no point did I feel the purchase was in control until the keys were in my hand.Since moving in I have had to replace a leaky radiator and had got an oven that has been out of action for 4 months which cannot be fixed given the price of fixing the radiator, none of which was mentioned as issues when I asked if there any appliance/fixture issues.The overall feeling is just a massive disappointment as what should be a really exciting process was made a horribly painful one - the feeling of completing was more a relief to never having to deal with Hamptons in any capacity ever again.Not even a congratulations when the keys were collected…

Let's be honest, estate agents usually get a bit of a of a bad of a reputation. However after dealing with Sara those reputations arent deserved at all... At least not in her case. From to start to finish my entire house transaction was a delight. Thank you Sara. I've dealt with many estate agents in my time and Sara was the first one that I actually felt cared. Top service. I reccomend always dealing with Sara if you use hamptons in caterham. I didn't ask but I suspect she must be the manager. She had my apartment by the time the board went up. I honestly couldn't have asked for me.

We had quite a complex house move and Denise was there to support us through every step of the way. She ensured she knew everything about our file, the enquiries that were outstanding and why, and was not afraid to pick up the phone, countless times, to get something over the line. We are sure that it was because of her positive, helpful and friendly approach, coupled with how hard working she was, that we were able to get things over the line in the end. She is an incredibly valuable member of the team and we would have been lost without her. Thank you Denise, and to all of the Hamptons team.

I have just exchanged on my property purchase through Hamptons and could not be happier! From start to finish the team has been great! A big thank you initially to Donna, who showed me the property and let me know it was back on the market when I thought I had missed out..and then an even BIGGER thank you to Denise who has been absolutely amazing at getting this purchase over the line! She went above and beyond to make sure that all parts of the chain were co-ordinating and helped fan flames when things got tough! She’s been absolutely stellar!!! 100% recommend Hamptons and will look to purchase my next property (hopefully) through them

despite complaining to customer service, worst service I have experienced and don't seem to want to sell houses!!!

My husband emailed Hamptons in Windsor after seeing an apartment on the river. He didn't get a response. I then emailed twice with no response, so the 3rd time I asked why they were not communicating. The response from customer service "Hasan is one of our Saturday Assistants and wouldn’t have picked up your emails on the 18th and 22nd. I assume you haven’t received an Out Of Office so I will speak with Hasan and the rest of the team to ensure these are switched on when not in the office". Ok but my emails were over a 2-week period, so did he also take off the weekend that fell in that time? It would have been better to provide an alternative contact who could actually help us. I then get told "The property is currently tenanted and being sold with a tenant in situ". I responded that it is not advertised as such, but the response is that it was not when 1st posted but is now. I still don't see this mentioned in the listing: Eton Riverside, 39-55 King Stable Street, Eton, Windsor, SL4I then responded with "I noticed that you did not respond to my two comments and at this point we are not interested in working with Hamptons. The customer service provided is very poor and despite giving you the opportunity to make things better, my comments were ignored" I tried to have them help us, but seems they are not that interested, so hence my negative response. All wording here is pulled from our email exchanges. They really don't care.

Great service from Hamptons Caterham

Carrie and Anna at Hamptons Caterham were brilliant! Very friendly, clear, communicative and honest team throughout the whole house sale process. After months of not finding the right buyers, Hamptons quickly found us our buyers and with a respectable offer - we couldn’t be happier. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Misleading and pathetic service by the agent

I live in Reading and I was looking for a rental property for a family of 6 adults and a 1 year old boy in Pinner, so it takes me at least an hour to drive to viewings each time. I also have a dog. I know this is difficult as I already had many agents telling me most landlords only look at smaller families. So before I confirm viewings with an agent, I always specifically ask if the potential landlord will allow for this many adults plus the dog.There is one property we saw on Rightmove near Hatch End so I went ahead to contact Hamptons, the agent for the letting. Leila, the agent, contacted me for viewing availability. She also sent me an email to ask me details about the potential tenants, for which I fully listed out the names and relationships (one big family) of all the people that will be living in the property plus the age and breed of my dog.She went ahead to confirm my viewing time without any objection. On the day of the viewing, I asked her again if the landlord is fine with the number of people and the dog to which she said "we will see, it depends on the package" (whatever that means).After the viewing (which was on a Saturday), we told her on the Monday through email we would like to make an offer and went ahead to fill in an offer sheet, matching the asking price and guess what, Leila comes back to me and say the landlord won't allow this many people and won't allow pets. I questioned her saying that I already gave her all this information before viewing and asked before the viewing whether the landlord is okay with it because I wouldn't drive for an hour if my offer would not be considered due to the number of people and my dog. What's funny is that she still kept talking about overall package and stuff like that.This is pathetic service by her and this does not reflect well on Hamptons as her title is Senior Lettings Consultant.

Let down by Hamptons fully managed service

We let our Victorian period house for five years while we lived in the USA through Hamptons fully managed service. Over that period various work were carried out that we approved but obviously which we could not manage. Hamptons assured us they had access and relationships with good quality trades people. We came back to find stone mullions drilled through. Holes made by plumbers left exposed. Cement used instead of grouting. White pipework placed over the outside of the house. Totally different fittings used in bathrooms. The house was beautiful when we left and we returned to find it heading towards a 1960's student house. We paid Hamptons to periodically review in addition to the 11% they took. The company they contracted to was CCP Maintenance. DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOME. I would suggest also finding a letting agency that actually cares about the house and not just the income.

Very Poor Experience

We were looking to rent a property (£4000-£5000 pm). We arranged several viewings. The first 4 were conducted by a man from one office. He was very affable. The next 2 were conducted by a girl from a different office. We decided we wanted to proceed with one and we put in a definite and precise offer. We emailed the girl on Friday, clearly stating our position. She responded asking if we were happy to confirm the asking price, which we agreed to. I also confirmed that we were offering a long term let (3+years) and also a holding deposit that was non-fundable in the event that the sale did not complete. That was Friday early afternoon. We heard nothing back and by Tuesday Mid morning I phoned to ask if the landlord had responded. Yes, she said, although she hadn't bothered to tell us! She said the landlord had accepted our offer, but wanted to continue marketing the property until we had exchanged contracts. I asked whether she had advised him of our offer for a non-returnable deposit. No, she hadn't read our email properly! She is clearly on a different planet and speaks a different language! I asked her to go back and tell the landlord clearly what we had offered. She came back saying that he accepted our offer but would continue marketing the property in the meantime. We cannot affor to end up without somewhere to live, so I have told them to advise their client that we withdraw completley. His loss, not ours. I'm sure the outcome would have been different if we hasd been dealing with someone who knew what they were doing and had bothered to digest and understand our communications. Not impressed at all!

Holding on to our deposit money…

Holding on to our deposit money illegally. Have waited 25 days and counting for our money to come back. Spoke to branch manager in Clapham (Andrew) he seems like a nice guy but blaming it on not being able to get hold of the landlord?? How is this fair? What a shambles! Have rented from 3 other letting agents and they always gave us our money back on time. We were great tenants for 2 years, always paid rent on time and gave the property back in great condition!

Carrie Rudge and her team at Hamptons Caterham went absolutely above and beyond. She was communicative and responsive at all times. When we hit snags she actively looked for solutions and basically project managed a difficult situation for us, while staying good humoured and professional throughout. We recommend her and her team very highly indeed.

My family has been renting a house through this agency in CATERHAM for more than 3 years. Unfortunately I had a lot of problems and a very disappointing experience especially while moving out of the property in the end of tenancy this summer. The agency, which was supposed to be a mediator in this situation and stand for both parties interests, failed and refused to do so, as well as they have failed to communicate any reasons, explanations or updates to myself. The communication was very poor, quality and standard of work as an estate agent was very low. I had a strong feeling the agency was definitely not there to defend any of my interests as a tenant, acted with a huge prejudice and did not assist in any of the matters while I was moving out of the property. The agency just pretended they were never a part of any letting agreement between the two sides and never were my agent. There was no help, no advise, no support. I feel extremely disappointed and let down, I believe this agency’s working style is very unprofessional and definitely not in the tenants interests. Everything is swiped under the carpet and not dealt with. I consider my experience with this agency to be one of the most miserable and sad tenants/letting agents interactions imaginable.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Thank you ! SW18 house sold...

We recently sold our property with the help of Mark Thompson and team at Hamptons on Garratt Lane. From the very start Mark was friendly, well-informed and supportive, suggesting a good strategy for the sale. He was excellent at anticipating and assessing our situation and what we needed.A big thank you also to the team that helped our sale progress, to Alex for organising the viewings and keeping us up-to-date with news, and to Patrick for the communications and keeping us on track with the documentation. The timing of the communications was just right. All this reduced the stress of selling a much loved house.Thank you.

Leave it to Saima.

Leave it to Saima.For several years, we have been renting our property while living overseas. For the past year, Saima has been in charge of management. She is capable of handling any issues that arise, and I trust her fully to work in our best interests while keeping our tenants happy. She keeps us informed about the arising issues and reports back diligently, minimising unnecessary contact, which I appreciate. She manages the load well, and I would recommend her service.

Quality service with a smile - Rickmansworth Hamptons

From professional estate agents to uber effective property management I highly recommend Hamptons international Rickmansworth branch. No matter whom you speak to in the office, you are always welcomed with kindness and understanding. A special shout out to property manager Melissa who's maintenance problem-solving is lightning quick. It's also a credit to the agency that all tradespeople they use are polite, professional, trustworthy and always provide top-notch service.I feel confident that when issues occur, they will be taken care of removing all stress from myself as a tenant. Thank you Rickmansworth Hamptons

Great Property Management

As a tenant of Hamptons, I wanted to say a huge thank you to Nicole Drackett our property manager, who has made renting so much easier throughout my two years in the property. She has always been on hand to assist and been very understanding when faced with several issues at once in the property. Most issues were solved promptly and communication was excellent throughout. Can’t thank her enough! I’d also like to mention Caroline Ryan, the Lettings manager, and Laura Donati in renewals, for their exceptional service when initially renting the property and during my vacation of the property. Making it as stress-free as possible, in a difficult & busy rental market!

Disappointing with limited recommendation

I am disappointed with Hamptons and their property management service. The initial lettings period, and the relationship built with Nadia was faultless. I was really impressed with their marketing and the speed in which they let the property. What lets them down is the last 2 years of management, including the tenancy renewal process handled by a different department. The renewal was brash, the communication was curt and rude. I felt rushed, and was pushed into a situation which wasn't explained to me with much truth. On reflection I really regret the way that was handled. Add that the to the disappointing management for the first year, it has left me wishing I had done things differently.I was moved to a different property manager after making some complaints, and when I renewed I was allowed to do this as part of the deal.Whilst Daniel is very likeable, I am however still not at ease with the situation. I feel that the communication is always slow, I am never kept up to speed and some of the issues in my property could have been dealt with much quicker, thus reducing the repair bill. I have had to be more involved than I would have expected too, which when paying the management fee is part of the reason for doing so.On reflection I would prefer to use a smaller more personal letting agent with more time and care towards their landlords. Would I be to renew I would remain with Hamptons for the marketing and tenant finding however I absolutely wouldn't recommend the managed service and feel quite strongly about this and my experience.
