Picked up the phone and then sold my house. I knew how long it would take and how much it would cost. GreatThe help finding a solicitor who efficiently handled the paperwork was a bonus
Thank you for your lovely review. It was a real pleasure being able to help you and if you need anything else please let us know.

TrustpilotNegligent, mean, liars
Initially presented by real estate agency Savills with a beautiful 1 bed and promised luxurious amnesties/services when I moved at Lillie Square at the end of 2017, however sadly the reality proved to be quite the opposite and my experience at the property has been disappointing to say the least. I ended up paying thousands of pounds in bills received retrospectively due to negligence and false advertising on behalf of agency Savills. The building had not been registered with the council and the property hadn’t even been allocated a tax band (although had been advertised as such) causing major delays with council tax bills, internet and electricity supply etc. I had no heating last winter due to an error with the comfort cooling system both estate ADMIN nor SAVILLS were unable to solve for MONTHS. I have interestingly been issued bills worth £600 for this period I have had no heating in from Switch2, the dubious heat network provider the building uses.I was told my Fiona Head of Complaints that these issues were to be expected to come with a new built. When asking them for compensation for the issues I was refused it and given notice to vacate the property. The only soothing thought is that I am due to leave the property soon, leaving all these problems and nightmare behind.

We would like to commend George Hill on overseeing a successful and professional sale. Always very quick to raise and answer questions, explain any issues, and a pleasure to work with. We would fully recommend.
Thanks for the review, Tim. We really appreciate it - and very happy that we could have helped you.Regards,George

TrustpilotWelcome relief!
After a distinctly average experience with one of their competitors on a purchase that fell through, our experience with Savills (and Millie in particular) was a welcome relief. Professional, pragmatic & strong communication helped close out a relatively swift new home for our family.
Thank you for going to the trouble of posting a review. All feedback is greatly appreciated and helps us maintain the level of service our clients expect and deserve.

TrustpilotTireless Support
Throughout a lengthy and complicated sale - first Brexit issues, then Covid 19 restrictions - the Savills negotiators gave excellent advice and personalised support: in particular, during the final stages of completion, when their extensive professional experience ensured the successful outcome. Highly recommended.
Thank you, it was our pleasure. We know that moving house can be a difficult time so it’s great to hear that we made it that bit easier for you.

Alex and Caroline stuck with the process through ups and downs and gave considered advice. Not an easy time to be selling a home, and all a bit of an emotional wrench, but all round they made the process as painless as possible.

TrustpilotShame on you
The support from Savills during our rent period was ok. However we have just been withheld 10% of our rent deposit return because of two small issues. No understanding or flexibility for moving out during a lockdown period. Shame on you Savills!
We are sorry to hear of your experience, if you'd like could you email further information to socialmedia@savills.com in order to investigate further?

GoogleWarning if you are renting through Savills....(also note that many of the reviews are from one reviewers who reviewed only once.) Initially we were happy with Savills until we came to the landlord wanting to move in and the contract hadn't been written correctly. We had 3 months to run but, as a large favour, we agreed to look for a house and found one we liked. We agreed to move during the school holidays and our busiest time of year for work. At the end of tenancy, they employed a different inventory clerk on the way out - to cut a long story short the exit inventory bore little relation to the inbound. The house was cleaned to a very high standard yet, despite getting Savills off the hook, they and the landlord withheld over £1000 for a small 3 bedroom cottage, sighting tiny marks and scratches which to any one else would have been wear and tear. We are of course going to the ombudsman but for anyone renting from Savills, make sure you read the contract and do not sign an inventory until you have gone through every page and agreed that its the same clerk on the way out or they will take your money and waste a huge amount of time. I will never use this company again in anyway...extremely unprofessional. Michelle Quinn the lettings manager should be ashamed of herself and the landlord David Roberts for ungentlemanly behavior

TrustpilotTerrible experience
Terrible experience. We were renting a flat, and we had to chase them constantly. They didn’t provide a check in inventory, and the flat had not been cleaned at all. They didn’t come to the check-in, and nobody answered phones or emails for days.
It’s very disappointing to hear about your experience. We take feedback extremely seriously and are keen to find out more. If you’d like to, please email further information to our Director of Client Relations, Carole Bratt, at CBratt@Savills.com so we can investigate this?

TrustpilotFirst time auction seller
First time auction sellerAs the Executor of my later Mother's Estate I decided to sell her home by auction. Savills guided me through what was for me an extremely emotional and difficult process with professionalism and understanding. I attended the auction and was extremely impressed at Mr. Coleman Smith's (the auctioneer) expertise and skill which achieved a far better result than I had dared to hope possible. I would certainly recommend Savills to anyone thinking of selling a property at auction.Peter Norman

I am surprised to read all of the negative comments about Savills. I have dealt with them recently and I can only speak highly of them. They have been prompt and swift with sorting out all the queries, always on time, nice and polite and I have only dealt with professional individuals there.Jordan Caskie at Savills is one of the best sales agents I have ever met. I was very impressed with how smoothly he got everything sorted, responding to my messages even during the weekends and negotiating the best deal for me with the landloard.

GoogleSavills have been brilliant! A long and complex sale was professionally and proactively managed by the Winchester Savills Office, specifically calling out Haley Prescott's excellent support, who personally made the experience much less stressful and easier. Communication was very timely and informative, with Savills taking a very active role in the sale. Can't praise the team enough - Many thanks to Savills

Waited 40 mins out in cold on Saturday morning and none of the savills staff turned up. Called sevenoaks branch took them 20 mins to find their property on their own website. In my view Savills the worst eastate agency company in this country .

TrustpilotCourt Case.
Be careful with this company. I am currently going to court over a dispute for a tenancy that ended 2years ago. I used to the a tenant at Ochestra house in ilford. They will try to bully you as it is a very big company with unlimited funds even when they have done something illegal. Please be careful

The staff that handled the sales was absolutely brilliant. She addressed my concerns and responds promptly to enquiries, I couldn’t have asked for more , she was God sent considering two previous disappointments with two other agencies.The other colleagues at Savills were very helpful and responsive .I will always recommend Savills
