TrustpilotThis estate agent has a bad reputation…
This estate agent has a bad reputation and they were not upfront with costs. We spoke to several agents in Bridgwater and the moment Gibbins came up, one literally shrieked and said they hear the same complaints all the time. Basically, they’re scamming people. Every other agent we spoke to said the same thing. It doesn’t take long for a bad reputation to spread. I’m now looking at other houses, but I wouldn’t touch anything listed with this lot.

I am sorry you feel we are scamming people. All of our Terms and Conditions are clearly laid out in our Terms of Business, which is issued and discussed (with a statutory 2-week cooling off period) before signing or marketing.

TrustpilotInterested in the money they make. No customer care.
Warning stay away. We didn’t get any viewings on our bungalow, and wanted to try another agent, but they threatened us. Bill us for leaving, or put their commission up with a 2nd agent more with multi agent. Blackmailed and pressured, they totally had no care for their clients, just the money. We also was told on good authority by our mate, that knows staff there, they slag off clients all the times. All about £ signs. Word spreads and other agents in town say they hear that a lot about them and told us to read the reviews. Do not go there.

Thank you for your comments. We are one of many agents who will charge a nominal fee for leaving us. Each property does cost several hundred pounds to put on, and keep on, the market and our fees are highlighted in our agreements. Having two agents will nearly always increase the fee on both joint and mulit-agency basis, regardless of who those two agents are. We will aim to explain more to clients about how two+ agents works. Please confirm your definition of 'blackmail' as (in the true sense of the word) it is just not conducive or worthwhile to business practice in the 21st century.

I have used Gibbons Richards before and was very happy to use them again. The staff were very helpful and responsive ( probably the only negative was their automatic texting didn't always work).
I wasn't sure about their new policy of having someone different to support you once an offer had been accepted but actually it works well.
I would definitely use them again

GoogleCharlie was fantastic. He showed us several properties, each time narrowing down on what we wanted and then only showing us properties that fit the bill.
We would absolutely recommend Charlie at Gibbins Richards for anyone looking to buy in the area, and will definitely look to work with him again if we need their services in the future.
Cannot thank Charlie enough, he was an absolute star!

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleAbsolutely fantastic experience. Very friendly, responsive and professional. We had an offer 5% above our asking price on the first day. Moreover, the asking price was well above what other local estate agent had advised. Other local estate agent was fixed price; unlike percentage based pricing with Gibbons Richards. Very pleased. Jennifer and Charlie were particularly awesome! 😊🙏

GoogleI want to thank Beth Sted from the Taunton branch who single handedly took on what turned out to be an extremely complex house sale.
Her determination for both myself and my buyer was like nothing I've ever heard of from estate agents. Without her, there would have been absolutely no chance in completing this sale. I hope this review get recognised as she deserves to be rewarded, thanks Beth you earnt all five of these stars and some.

GoogleGibbins Richards have sold 3 properties for me in the last 2 years.
Each sale has been conducted in a professional, efficient and friendly manner. Each member of staff, in particular Jennifer and Beth have been helpful and informative and I would not hesitate to use Gibbins Richards again. Each sale deserves a 5 star rating. I would emphasise that I am not related to the company in any way.

GoogleBeth Stead was amazing. She manages the sale so well and kept us informed every week without fail on the progress. At times she even took over the work of the other estate agents who had really poor communication skills. Other agents need people like Beth as it’s not just about the sale but what happens after and if it hadn’t been for Beth I think we would have pulled out long ago. Thanks again Beth for all your hard work, determination and pure love of your job.

GoogleFor the second time we have used Gibbins Richards Wellington office to sell our home. Twice they have found a good buyer very quickly, and twice they have been the most competent, contactable and easy-to-deal with party involved in the whole process. When most aspects of our sale seem to be affected by everything taking too long, with many of the ‘supply chain’, solicitors, mortgage companies and surveyors etc, struggling to cope under the pressure, Claire, Nick and the team have always been a friendly team, and always on the end of the phone and always on the ball. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to sell my house.

I’d used the Wellington branch to sell my Mum’s property and came back to sell my aunt’s flat as they had done such a good job. Although the team had changed the service hadn’t and Callum in particular was first class. At times tricky, the whole team remained positive and professional and the sale completed without a hitch. A big thank you to you all 👏👏

Brilliant, professional support.
A process which should have been straightforward was complicated by the inept and obstructive behaviours of the letting agents of a different company.
