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

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.

We recently completed a purchase where Savills were the seller's agent represented by Joshua Holder. Savills and Josh were very proactive and great throughout the process. Josh particularly was very skilful in managing the negotiations to a successful outcome.

Going the extra yard!!

Sarah Hunt is an exceptional negotiator and resolved issues which had the potential to derail our sale. She is a great communicator.Sarah goes that extra yard undertaking tasks to ensure a sale stays on track.We would recommend her to everyone.

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.

Great working Savills - you pay for what you get in the end.

Savills have managed a property for me for several years - and throughout much of that time i have worked directly with Atticus Leung who has always been very professional, efficient, quick and happy to help. Great to work with the same person and see the low turnover in this team.

We found Savills and in particular Harry Maitland and his team to be professional, efficient and friendly. Any queries were attended to quickly and they took the stress out of selling our property. We would definitely use Savills again - although hopefully not too soon!

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.

Savills Stamford

We bought via Savills Stamford & cannot recommend them enough! Far more professional than the estate agents we chose to sell with. Charlotte was brilliant from start to finish! Would not hesitate to recommend because we are never moving again!!!

Savills did a great job for us

Savills did a great job for us. Claire was very good with the viewings and usually left us notes after each one to give us initial feedback. In the later stages, Matt Orchard did a good job chasing solicitors in pushestowards exchange and completion.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Michelle Rowe & Daniel Tarrant at a site launch recently. They were both extremely friendly, approachable and professional in the way in which they dealt with myself as well as the clients at the event and it truly was lovely to be able to work side-by-side with colleagues from different areas within the marketplace and form incredible relationships with them. I look forward to working with them again in the future.

Over value and lie

Great with probate - we had Savills attend to carry out the probate valuation with a family member and his girlfriend. Even though as executors we had carried out 3 valuations with 3 local agents which all came back with similar valuations. Unfortunately one family member wasn’t happy with the true value of the property so we agreed to 3 more valuations from his (girlfriends) chosen agents and Savills ended up being one of them. The rep was excellent he listened to the girlfriends description of the property even though both the grandson and girlfriend had only been over a few times over the years his grandparents had been alive (unfortunately they fell out over money). He did ignored the executors and never shared the valuation with them as the law states he should have done. He did as asked and valued the property at £100k more than every other agent did. So if you want a unrealistic valuation which will only be reduced once the mortgage companies value the property or better still you then have to pay for a RIC’s because the agent has given a false valuation you can count on Savills to do this for you.

We couldn’t recommend Savills more highly

We’ve been renting a property managed by Savills for just over a year now, and our experience from the start has been exceptional. When we began our property search this time last year, the entire process, from the viewing to moving in, was handled with complete professionalism and ease.

It is a absolute pleasure and delight to deal with Alice Stone. She is always friendly, caring, happy to help and will always go the extra mile to help me. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for Alice whether it’s to change jobs round, getting back to me with confirmations or to answer questions. She is always quick to respond. I always look forward to speak to Alice, she will always make time to have a lovely chat with me. I look forward to carry on working with Alice.
