Millie Willsmer made the whole experience of selling a house as easy as possible and took away many of the stresses that can come with the process so that we could focus on the rest rest of life safe in the knowledge that we were in great hands. Personable, professional and someone we would highly recommend

I cannot recommend Savills Summertown enough. From the moment Huw Warren and Nicky Quentel come to our home to discuss our sale, I felt we were in good hands. They were both always so professional, helpful and extraordinarily patient guiding us through what was a difficult (but worryingly normal!) process. The representatives from Savills who showed potential buyers around were well informed about the house and the surrounding area and were always on time and sensitive to the Covid 19 rules that we all had to adhere to. I thought Huw was mad when he suggested we put our home on the market during a pandemic but he was absolutely right about the timing and market conditions. Thank you Huw and Nicky and all at Savills Summertown.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Nice and helpful

I really appreciate Jess Exley, who had helped me a lot during my flat hunting process. I intended to get a flat before arriving UK. Jess was patient enough to answer all my questions and provided useful information before I made my decision.

Flawless service.

At the risk of making this review sound like a cliché, this is what perfect customer service feels like. The entire rental process was an order of magnitude better than what we could have expected - Savills have really thought it through to perfection. Thanks Georgina & the team!

Important information disclosed during property purchase

I completed a flat purchase in City Centre of Bristol a year ago. Savills were the agents. Unfortunately I have been left with bitter feelings about this purchase as the agent was trying to rush things and kept getting frustrated when I was asking reasonable questions about the property. What has disappointed me the most, is that 1. When I was shown the flat and had been given initial information, I was falsely informed about the ground rent and leasehold remaining years 2. The agent failed to inform me about a very critical piece of information, the fact that there was a high pending charge for the flat, in regard with big damage occurred in the common heating system during the previous years. During the purchase I was constantly asking information that as it's proven now, were kept from me because they were related to this big hidden cost. I regret backing off on this one, due to the Savills agents' pressure and now it is a cost that although it's still big and unexpected, it would cause me excessive lawyer fee as well if I decide to dispute. But my point here is that the agent, put a lot pressure on me and none to the lawyers of the seller to provide correct information and I feel played. 3. The agent never showed me the whole development and was obviously ignorant of a lot of the facilities and the existing tenants' association which could have helped to answer lots of my questions (or probably deliberately avoided to bring too much in light) . They seemed good enough to show someone around the property but held or shared none of the important information. As a buyer, this is critical attitude that I would look for to an agent. Savills just don't feel trustworthy for me and I would not be choosing to work with them in future if possible.

First time buyer- I was in very good hands.

Kealey was an amazing support all the way through my buying experience, from the initial views through to final completion. It wasn’t the easiest journey and as a first time buyer she really reassured me and went above a beyond to support me as a buyer. I’d highly recommend her.

If I could leave 0* I would

If I could leave 0* I would. As a first time buyer we have had an absolutely disgusting time using Savills Southampton. 1) False dates throughout. Daniel Tarrant used the words “100%” and “promise” more times than we can remember when it came to a completion date. This happened from September until we finally moved in at the start of February.2) Endless calls for updates including messages never answered. We thought this was just us however after speaking to other buyers who have now moved in it seems the exact same for them. Often calling 5x a day and messages with no reply for weeks. He would then get back to us and blame a developer issue or waiting for meeting to then call us back. No surprise we heard nothing back.We also told Daniel our rental expired in October and he said 100% our place will be ready. This left us having to rely on parents to live for the last 5 months and separated from our dog. No apology just endless amounts of excuses.3) Pet licence - one of the first questions we asked if we are allowed dogs. The answer was yes every single time with no issues. The day of completion we then get told we have to pay £360+ vat for a pet licence. Savills said they were not aware. Surely simply asking during the process instead of a yes fine would work?4) Completion / Mortgage expiring - our mortgage offer expired 1st Feb and 2 weeks before we heard from Dan once via a returned call. Not the service you expect from your contact estate agent.5) completion day - a date was set by Paris smith and once again we could not get through to anyone at Savills. Eventually got hold of Helen (director) who arranged to meet us to complete and hand over the keys. Not once did Helen apologise to all of the above we mentioned she just said “I will look into this” and we still have not heard anything in regards to this. Again we heard excuses regarding pet licence “it’s the first have heard of it”.We then exchanged keys and had our first place. When we walked in we expected a new build clean place and found it still only about 80% complete.Dan told us specifically in December we could not view as it is polished clean and even they could not get access.The flat was dirty, stained carpets, shelves in units not complete, holes/marks on walls and sealant not applied to windows just to start. This place was clearly never cleaned or completed by the site.After speaking to the site manager he said they weren’t given proper notice regarding our move in date and they needed more time. They admitted the properties were not ready to move in. Other people on site even said people should not be moved in! Since moving in we have witnessed doors being left unlocked by teams fixing things in others properties, inappropriate staff harassing females and one message back from Helen after WE reached out to her. Nothing to check on us at all or to try and support us with our problems.We have also spoke to neighbours and other residents who have had equally bad experience some even moving in with no hot water or heating! Honestly would not recommend Savills to anyone unless you want the biggest headache added to buying a property.I am sure the other residents will be making a similar review in the near future.

Charlie was quite excellent. She handled her client with skill throughout the extended transaction and kept close to both the client and the various lawyers involved. I doubt the sale would have gone through without her tact and perseverance.

It was a pleasure working with Savills…

It was a pleasure working with Savills to sell our house from a distance during an uncertain and challenging market in 2024. Our main point of contact was Felicity Walker, and we were impressed by her experience and local knowledge as well as her insights into the general housing market and the current economic climate. Highly professional, yet friendly and approachable, she took time to understand her clients’ personal circumstances, needs and preferences, and had a realistic and fair approach to buying and selling. Her perseverance and pragmatism in the face of occasional setbacks was most reassuring. The team as a whole were extremely helpful in arranging access for general maintenance, surveys, safety checks, etc. Communication was excellent and there was always timely feedback regarding viewings and buyer interest.

Perseverance pays off!

We were fortunate that it fell to Troy Budd to steer the sale of our property in Stoke Bishop, Bristol. The housing market was becoming increasingly sluggish, with the number of viewings declining. We also lost about 5/6 weeks when a 'prospective buyer" wasted our time, and Troy's, and then just walked away! Troy persisted and a previous "viewer" renewed his interest and, when we least expected, Troy's efforts were rewarded when, unexpectedly, exchange of contracts and completion were accomplished in quick time and the sale was concluded. Much due to Troy's perseverance and persuasive manner. Our sale was due, in no small part, to Troy's efforts in a difficult market.

Working with Savills

Working with Becky Card, Natasha Selbie and all the associates at Savills has been a great experience. Everybody was efficient, professional and warm. The advice was spot on. I can't recommend Savills highly enough.

Simply the best

Savills has been excellent to work with. During my rather extensive apartment search, they quickly and consistently showed themselves to be the most thorough, sophisticated, comprehensive and professional. For that reason, I decided to forgo using any other services and focus exclusively on their properties.Since becoming a tenant, the vast majority of my experiences have been overwhelmingly positive. For that reason, if/when I'm in the market for a new flat, I will certainly only consider properties managed by Savills.Last, and miles upon miles from least, I cannot possibly say enough about my superstar Property Manager, Melissa Grant. So friendly, so responsive, so professional and so enjoyable to work with, she has far exceeded even the loftiest possible expectations.

Very efficient purchase process

Alex and the team were hands on and available throughout the transaction keeping the communication flowing between seller and buyer which took considerable pressure off the purchase process. Would not hesitate to recommend their services to anybody buying or selling a property.

Good communication

Savills kept in touch with us and made sure everyone was always up to date on progress with our purchase. We felt fairness to both buyer and seller, as well as good communication made the process as good as it could be. Thank you Charlie.

This company are the managing agents for a shop I rented. Shocking customer service from Billie Stephenson. She confirmed the amount of our deposit held by Savills then once the keys were returned suddenly she tells us she made a mistake. Been trying to get this resolved for weeks. Her phone is hardly ever answered, messages are rarely responded to. She promised to call me back over a week ago and nothing.
