AVOID THESE AGENTS AT ALL COSTS

Savills are the property managers for the house that my 84 year old father lives in. The property has been disintegrating for more than 10 years (the front of the house is falling down and urgent structural works are needed), but to date - despite trying everything, formal complaints, daily calls, emails, daily documenting of reports, they are doing NOTHING to make these repairs. Instead they just send "cost-free" contractors to come and "assess" (there have been 19 assessments conducted, ALL agreeing that urgent structural work was needed). On top of this, Savills left my father without heating for more than7 YEARS! Absolutely jaw-droppingly incompetent. It also took them 2 years and 5 months to replace the broken hot water tank (so no hot water in the taps all this time). Absolutely disgraceful to treat an 80+ year old this way. On top of that, for more than 4 years a skylight was broken letting in rain and cold. But as the stopcock was also broken for 2 years and 5 months (!!!) and happily drip-dripping into everything, it was hard to tell where all the water was coming from. Now the carpets are up, the walls sodden, the mould everywhere. But i guess that's nothing compared to the giant CRACK in the front of the house that is getting bigger. Savills should be ashamed of their behaviour, bowing to the whim of the owners of this property, a group called BANKWAYS who are run by the disgraceful WILLIAM PEARS GROUP, brothers who are notorious for their Victorian-esque approach to being landlords, letting the poor suffer in horrific conditions while they lord it up (literally) bathing in their billions. How any of these people sleep at night is beyond me. I guess Savills are too cowardly to loose their giant portfolio with this group. You all disgust me.

Great support from Nicky & team

Nicky and her team in Summertown supported us so well throughout the sale of our house. They managed the process and communication with ourselves and prospective buyers so well, giving us great confidence and making it all very smooth. We would thoroughly recommend using Nicky!

We’ve had a great experience with Toby Simmonds at Savills Mayfair - friendly, professional, straightforward, constructive, calm, and most importantly super “on it” - the process has been faster and smoother than we’d dared imagine. Thanks Toby!

Been waiting over a week on a response and call back on Property we are interested in Solihull. Previous experience on potential commercial purchase not good either. Not good "Savils".

Savills Auctions

The whole team at Savills Auctions have been fantastic. From the very first experience I have had with them, the customer service continues to improve. I have purchased properties many times through the auction and have also sold some properties through the auction. I would like to mention Robin and Jay Jay for always being on hand and providing great service and advice. Would highly recommend them.

I recently purchased a property in E14 from Seville. Stephanie was a very reliable and straightforward agent to deal with. She answered all queries throughly and efficiently. She was able to navigate complex obstacles and coordinate amongst many parties to get the execution of the deal over the line in the required timeframe.

Jen was absolutely brilliant and the service from Savills on a whole was really good. I will never go with any other estate agent again if I ever have the need to. Jen and Savills team really are in a league of their own. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

I was happy with the service from Savills because it was quick, easy to deal with and the process of finding a flat was very smooth. Aziz was very helpful, polite and accommodating and built a good rapport with us to make communication easy and efficient. There were almost no problems or anything of the sort.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with this estate agent whose level of customer service, communication, and professionalism left much to be desired. Throughout the process, I found their communication to be consistently lacking, with delayed responses and a general disregard for my concerns. Their unprofessional behavior was evident in both their demeanor and actions, creating an overall frustrating and disappointing experience. I would strongly advise against using their services for anyone seeking a reliable and professional real estate experience. I had to chase for replies, I’d call the direct number on the signature email to then get no response - then they would tell me someone would call back; nobody ever does. Lack in communication - our references came back we were then told they cannot find the landlord.

Bought a flat with the help of Imy Blunt from Savills. An absolutely fantastic experience, from showing us the flat, suggesting surveyors, chasing up odds and ends and ensuring conveyance was running according to plan, I cannot fault any aspect of the service we received from her. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Very Average At Best.

My experience of Savills was very keen to sign you up but once instigated , very little knowledge or customer service after that. Would much rather deal with an on site developer than this type of set up where little information , customer service or expertise seems evident. Having been financially disadvantaged by my experience this time I would be very wary to repeat in the future.

Poor communication and lack of urgency to respond to queries

Trying to get an email response or even begin negotiating on a sale is nigh on impossible with their auction department. Online queries on their website were ignored for 3 days now, another email was answered but no information given!Given that the auction is 13 days away, I will not be taking this further as it’s hard work chasing them just for basic queries let alone anything of substance!Not great given that the economy and property sales are in a massive downturn right now. I feel sorry for anyone trusting them to sell their property for a good price given that they do zero legwork to facilitate sales other than the host an auction event!Update: the fact that you have received an online message and 2 emails from me of which only the first email was responded to says a lot about how you handle customer queries. I will not be chasing or wasting my time with your organisation anymore as the only time anyone does anything is when negative feedback is left on this platform up until then, the staff couldn’t care less!

Terrible service from Savills

Savills is worst agent for both tenants as well as owners.I am a tenant through Savills. I live in Arena tower and for second year running I have apartment heat and water heating issues. It hasnt been fixed properly yet. Savills did seek multiple approvals from owner to change parts implies they have ripped the owner and changed all possible parts around the water heater without fixing it so far. I know for a fact some of the parts were not broken as not same person came to replace the part who suggested it to be replaced.My suggestion stay away from them if you are tenant for you mental peace & to save money if you are an owner.

I moved flat during Covid-19

I moved flat during Covid-19. It was still a pleasure to have Savills service when choosing the property. Tiffany was very nice and she answered all the questions in time to smooth the process. The property manager also replied very quickly when I was reporting issues and sorted it out for me immediately. I do appreciate this attitude and speed!

No hot water for 10 months

Absolutely horrible! I live in one of their flat and as for now I have no hot water for 10 months! I have to write 10 e mails to get 1 response! The managers do not pick up or return the phone call. No consideration at all with my problem which seems to have no end. Meanwhile I keep pay my rent which is not cheap
