GoogleWe recently sold our property through Harrington’s and also purchased our ‘forever home’ through Harrington’s.
I can honestly say from start to finish the service was personal, friendly, professional and all round hassle free.
We were assisted by Robin, John and Shelly throughout the sale and purchase and all were fantastic.
I’d recommend them to anyone wanting to purchase in the area as their knowledge and realistic approach saved us a lot of time to ensure we were comfortable in our new home as soon as possible.

GoogleFantastic from start to finish - they (Robin in particular) were responsive, helpful and managed the buying process throughout. They managed expectations all round and drove communications up and down the chain with exactly the right level of urgency and persistence. I hope not to be buying or selling houses again for some time but , if I were, this would be my first port of call and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks very much for the help and all success for the future! Tim

GoogleNew to the UK, the team at Harringtons in Wickham supported in discussing workable tenancy terms with the owner. During the Tenancy I could call upon Harringtons who immediately responded and supported in resolving any issues. It was a hassle free, professional service and I highly recommend them.

GoogleJohn and Jonathan at Harrington's were really brilliant to rent from - straight forward, honest and always available to answer questions. Added to this, they also went above and beyond to find a house to buy at a time when the housing market was very challenging. We would definitely recommend this estate agency - it restored our faith in the industry! Karen and Julius

GoogleJohn, Jonathan, Helen and Jackie have completed the sale of my mother’s house after 50 years under some rather challenging circumstances. At every stage their attention to the client and prospective purchasers was above and beyond.

GoogleProspective tenants advice - Get professional help regarding deposit. £600 was deducted from my deposit even though the property was professionally cleaned and left in very good order. DPS not advocated.
Sherry · 31 October 2023
Agent replied · 30 December 2023
Sherry the DPS don't deduct money from tenants deposits without good reason. The deposit money deducted from your deposit was to cover re-painting, cleaning, fixing kitchen doors and a number of other jobs.
We advised you on these points during and at the end of your tenancy to avoid having to take monies from your deposit but you chose to ignore our advise and therefore we had no other option but to let the DPS decided on the outcome.

GoogleI purchased my house from Harringtons and then sold it with them 5 years later. John and Robin provide a knowledgable and friendly service and accommodated my requests to make the selling of the house as stress free as possible. My house was sold in calm and non-pushy environment which suited me perfectly. I would certainly recommend them.

GoogleUsed Harringtons from a recommendation John Huddleston assured us he could work within our time frame of 7 weeks that was April 2019 finally completed today, after being informed John knew from the buyer that this transaction would never complete in that time frame. This Estate Agent has cost us over £10,000.00 in additional fees due to their lack of honesty with us. When we contacted John to ask for a small reduction in their commission he flatly refused and would be invoicing the full amount. AWFUL SERVICE AND DISHONEST WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND.

GoogleThis is confirmation to John Huddleston (Director) that we have received from Harringtons Property Services the award made to us by The Property Ombudsman in acknowledgement of our claims against Harringtons, for a company that is incompetent from top to bottom. From the owners, Mr & Mrs Katterhorn who would not even take receipt of a letter of complaint or answer any queries, through to the rest of the staff leading to the following claims supported by the Ombudsman.
1, Insufficient sub-standard referencing resulting in tenants being in one of our properties who should never have been in the property who could not afford and did not pay the rent and damaged and neglected the property.
2, A non-existent inspection service that did not pick up any issues.
3, Tenants insurance check & identity check that there is no evidence or proof of.
4, Use of process servers, not part of any agreement and without authorisation.
5, Deductions from the deposit for unauthorised non-essential (if carried out at all) works.
6, A total lack of communication, didn’t reply to emails, phone calls, causing a lot of distress at a very difficult time especially as we were living overseas at the time.
7, A tenancy renewal process that failed, leaving us no time to give tenants notice in our other property so we could sell at a time we really needed to.
The Ombudsman did leave the option open of taking Harringtons to court before we accepted their award and we did take legal advice and were told we did indeed have a case but because of the financial position we were left in this was not an option.
We entrusted Harringtons with a high end property, ready to rent and they handed back a damaged, not fit to live in property, that we could neither rent or sell and 18 months of lost rent and the expense of restoring a damaged property. So if you value your property please learn from our experience, we have been left financially ruined due to Harringtons.
If we do not hear any further from Harringtons the full contents of the Ombudsmans Report and all correspondence with Harringtons will be forwarded to the local & national media, who are very interested given the history of who they allowed into our property, and it will then be public knowledge how this company works.
