Victoria Short of Savills, Stamford

My experience with Victoria Short of Savills, Stamford exceeded all my expectations. Disappointingly, the seller and our solicitors, were not prepared to put their full weight behind enabling me to purchasing a property in Rutland showing no sense of urgency. In fact, apathy and incompetence best describe the purchasing environment. Not perturbed, Victoria swiftly identified the strengths and weaknesses of those involved and formed a strategy of imposing relentless pressure on all fronts - realising that this was the only way forward. This strategy and her communication skills, both in the spoken and written word, coupled with her ability to quickly identify the best way forward in addressing each and every obstacle, and they appeared endless, gave her all the opportunity she needed to demonstrate her brilliant communication skills. Her dominance was so impressive that all parties seemed only prepared to move, in any meaningful direction, on her say so. Without Victoria at the ‘helm’ the process would have become so protracted the sale may well not have come to fruition for their were many times when I had lost all patience that my willingness to move forward was waning. I cannot thank Victoria enough for her performance. She can feel justly proud of her efforts for she has demonstrated that she is an extremely valued asset to the Savills, Stamford team.For completeness, I should point out, apart from her outstanding professional competence, she has a delightful and vivacious personality - always smiling and always looking on the bright side.Thank you Victoria.

Well worth considering

Anthony, Kelly and Felix were all a pleasure to deal with. I'm a landlord with over 10 years experience and all those mentioned were professional, responsive and helpful in my dealings with them. In particular, Anthony conducted seven viewings on a single packed day and I received an email from him the next morning with four offers over asking, presented in a digestible format with his thoughts on each - the first time anyone has taken the trouble to do this. Also, he doesn't call you "mate" and chew gum, which is a bonus!

My experience at Savills was a little mixed and it took a long time to sell the property at a much lower price than we hoped for. However I did want to take this opportunity to commend Sofia Da Silva and especially Lucy Kershaw-Staines who took on the mantle more latterly and was excellent in her endeavours, and communications and competence levels. She was so good I would recommend her to any employer!

My sale was handled by Savills in Marlow

My sale was handled by Savills in Marlow and in particular Mairead Monsen who was everything you could ask for from an agent selling your property. All the viewings were handled professionally and feedback was forthcoming after each visit. Once the buyer had made an offer Mairead was a reliable and diligent negotiator who helped bring the sale to a close. In the interim period until completion Mairead continued to be the main contact to resolve any issues and see the sale through to a satisfactory conclusion. I am pleased that Savills was my choice of agent for the sale and would recommend them whole heartedly to anyone looking to market their property.

I recently used Savills to sell my house

I recently used Savills to sell my house. Jon Lacey was my primary contact and he was excellent. Prior to getting an offer he kpt me well informed of progress including feedback on all viewings. When we had an offer made he was proactive in handling it and negotiating an improved offer which I then accepted. Best of all, during the sale process after I accetpted the offer he remained very active,chasing progress and keeping me well informed. Without doubt the best individual estate agent I have ever dealt with

I was incredibly impressed with the service that Savills offered. They sold our house within 3 months and I felt well informed at every stage. Troy from the Bristol office did a brilliant job. He conducted a thorough appraisal and valuation of our property and had expert knowledge of our local area. His report also gave a clear marketing strategy which provided brilliant results. The marketing particulars produced were excellent and the viewings were conducted during times that worked well for us. Troy maintained brilliant communication at all times and was always available to speak to. He went above and beyond and was involved in every stage of the process. Selling a house is often stressful but Troy and his team made the process feel very easy and everything ran incredibly smoothly. I would definitely recommend Savills to sell your house and we are very happy we chose them. Thanks so much Troy and the team.

Katie and her team are doing a wonderful job with my client's portfolio. They are the experts in the area when it comes to lettings and everything is taken care of at the highest standard. A special shout out as well to Nicola, our property manager, she is extremely efficient, very responsive and professional. A truly outstanding team, I can't recommend them enough.

Cannot recommend Jamie Carter & every member of his team highly enough. Their forthright manner was perfect. They were professional, courteous, honest, truthful, direct & all so delightful to work with. We enjoyed every minute of the sales process with them & a little sad when the sale was completed if we are honest. Perfect consistency throughout, didn’t matter if a team member was on holiday or day off. It must make a difference with the office sharing commission as apposed to one particular sales person. Certainly a plus if one is comparing agents. Wasn’t the reason we chose Savills. The helpfulness & friendliness of Alison in the office, when we made the initial call & meeting Jamie when he came to value, no contest. As long as their advice is taken on board, after all they have the knowledge & expertise, one could not ask for a better company to sell one’s home

Charlotte at Savills is a star!

We engaged Savills to sell our property in October 2019. We had a number of viewings before the couple who eventually bought our property. It was fraught with problems yet Charlotte established a relationship with our buyers to keep them informed of progress. I truly believe it's Charlotte's determination that kept the sale going despite numerous problems. I can't thank Charlotte enough for her tenacity to keep both me and our buyers informed every step of the way. I never stop singing praises for Savills service and how thorough Charlotte was. Thank you.

Remarkable customer service! Especially Sam Ing (property manager), who was always quick and efficient when it came to resolving any issue regarding the property.

Absolutely fantastic from start to end

Anna has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. She always went the extra mile in ensuring everything was covered and both myself and the buyers have had a stress free journey thanks to Anna and the whole Savills team. I have never sold a property before and I was incredibly impressed by the level of care and professionalism that Anna always demonstrated, even when I had a few emotional moments! Thank you Anna and everyone at Savills for ensuring my sale was a smooth process and thank you for achieving maximum interest and value for my house sale.

Savills manage office nightmare

Savills and Canmoor took over the management of our serviced office building and it's been problems since. They rushed to override all the existing systems and processes and made a complete mess of it. 6 months later we still can't get accurate invoices from them. We've probably wasted a business day of time trying to get accurate paperwork for our accounts and they just can't manage it. If Savills take over your managed office building you're probably going to want to move.UPDATE: Savills: here's the information you've asked for.UPDATE 2: Unfortunately Savills response that they take this seriously is looking like just a marketing ploy as they haven't stepped in to sort it out yet.CENTRE: Witney Business and Innovation Centre.Since Savills took over, we lost the ability to use direct debit and moved backwards to standing order which means we have to change the value manually if the monthly fee changes.Savills aggressively took over and cancelled invoices by the centre we'd already paid and demanded they be repaid using their system causing an unnecessary mess of invoices.Unfortunately as well, they couldn't cope with invoicing and multiple invoices with incorrect information have been sent. Time was wasted correcting these.Confusion was then created around contract changes they were going to mandate. This seems to have gone quiet.They then spelled our email address wrong, so we didn’t receive invoices. We wasted time getting these sent so we could have correct accounts. They said this was fixed. It wasn't.Three months ago we didn't receive invoices again. Savills demanded we continue to pay even though we had no paper trail. They said the problem was that they'd misspelled our email address. They said this was fixed. Again, it wasn't.We said we were cancelling our standing order and we would only pay when we receive an invoice in future. They said we'd be in breach of contract and got quite defensive. We again didn't receive an invoice, so we didn't pay. Savills didn't seem to notice.So we contacted them again. They said the problem was that they'd misspelled our email address. Again, they said this was fixed, maybe it is, but they said they have no way to test it until we get the next invoice.We checked the invoice is for the wrong amount. Again. We asked for a rent reduction to compensate for the time which is now probably two business days of chasing and correcting. They refused.We're now spending time booking appointments with other office companies for an office move and every time we ask to confirm the management company isn't Savills.Such a shame that Savills is making the centre look bad. The centre was exceptionally well managed before Savills came, they really add no value and are just a problem.

Claire Reynolds has been in the real estate business for 16 years and loves her job. You can tell - she is extremely good at it and I have never seen her without a big smile. I have been very impressed with her professionalism at every step of selling our family house. At the start of the process we got three different valuations and hers ended up being spot on. She and Savills' PR department worked very hard to present our property in the best possible way - I was very pleased with the listing particulars and our post received over 8,000 likes on Savills instagram account. Claire gave me feedback after every viewing, remained positive and Savills sent regular updates on progress. Claire had a targeted approach - the first viewer through our front door ultimately was our purchaser with her second viewer just as keen but, due to Covid restrictions, slightly behind in timing. So many prospective purchasers now have buying agents. Claire and her expertise weights the odds in your favour. She also worked to protect us from the inevitable static that can arise in the period between a successful offer and exchange as a result of the purchaser’s surveyor, architect, buyer’s agent and solicitor all trying to get the very best for their client. She is commercially minded and drives the deal forward with an iron fist in a velvet glove. Claire is very supportive and every interaction I have ever had with her ends by her saying “ Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help”. Her recommendations of two conveyancing solicitors (ours had retired to Malta) and a removals firm were all excellent. It goes without saying I cannot recommend Claire highly enough - and will be doing so to all my friends.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Alex Hewitt was very efficient and transparent in helping me secure a property (to rent) under tight deadlines just before Christmas, and I am grateful. I was kept up to date throughout the process and he was quick to respond when I had questions. Also a great experience with Biana Nicheva who manages the property. From a thorough inventory to notifying the various utilities to getting small niggles like a missing light bulb replaced she has been fantastic. Also the contractors who attend the property know it so things are done properly. All in all a fantastic service I would say, highly recommended, if you are looking for property in this area.

We have recently moved to a property we found through Alex Hewitt at Savills. Alex has been one of the most efficient brokers we have dealt with - and we move a lot! After the very first time we met, he was able to grasp what we were looking for. From that point on, the process became seamless! My husband and I are absolutely happy with our new apartment and I would rate Alex’s professionalism to the highest standards. It was an unusual joy to work with him on something that in the past, has proved to be stressful and frustrating. Alex made it all simple. I could not recommend his service high enough!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

The service provided by Savills Mayfair was exceptional. They were professional, thorough, always attending to queries whilst also friendly and courteous. This, particularly in the context of the challenges presented by the Covid-lockdowns and involving pricing reduction discussions which were all carried out in a respectful manner. Efficient all round.Claire Reynolds, in particular, has exceptional work ethic and professional integrity. She was knowledgable, sensitive and pitched the right tone.Ellen Auletta, her PA, was always helpful, efficient and pleasant, focussed in great detail to take on board and resolve floor plan discrepancies.All in all, Savills performed above expectations from the start to the final completion.

Paige was amazing! She was friendly, patient, kind, flexible, very helpful and understood quickly what we were looking for. There was a specific requirement I had about the flat we wanted and she was so thoughtful about it. Not at any point did I feel pressured to settle for something that I wasn’t sure about. I can’t recommend her enough. She is going to be my go to person- if and when we move ! We love the place! Thank you Paige!!!!

Global Relocation Assistance

The Savills team have been like a family to us after a major global relocation during clvid restrictions. I was able to find a wonderful place to live from Hong Kong and manage the whole move in advance seamlessly. Rebbeca Leigh and her team have looked after all our needs, helped welcome us to the area. Thank you for your professionalism, clear communication and help finding solutions in what has been a very unpredictable period of time.

Working with Claire Reynolds

I have just completed the purchase of a property in Connaught Village and had the pleasure of working with Claire Reynolds, a Director of Savills. Claire played a critical role in ensuring that the transaction progressed smoothly, liaising between my Clients and the Seller to discuss and agree various (non-legal) points. As well as always being available and willing to assist, Claire was proactive in a way that some agents are not. Any seller would be fortunate to have Claire representing them and, as a solicitor, I look forward to working with Claire again whenever the opportunity arises.
