TrustpilotRepeated Poor Service
Regrettably, I've experienced a significantly subpar level of service. Virtually every aspect of the process has encountered obstacles:- The property was mistakenly listed as unfurnished, despite being fully furnished.- The initial check-in report inaccurately classified the property as unfurnished with security keys missing.- When I inquired about the inventory, I was informed that one wasn't necessary. It took an astonishing two months to finally receive an inventory, which turned out to be inaccurate. My follow-up requests were met with delays and, disappointingly, they repeatedly sent the same incorrect inventory. It took an additional month to finally receive a corrected inventory after I had to painstakingly compile a list of missing items myself.- Instead of providing at least 1 comparison quote for necessary works, they only offer a single quote, failing to ensure a fair market value comparison.- Communication errors were prevalent, with emails sent to incorrect addresses and response times stretching into weeks, rather than days.- Even the tenants struggled to elicit timely responses.- To make matters worse, the designated property manager failed to offer any apologies.- Despite claims of having resolved issues with the freeholder, they were unable to provide any written evidence upon request.- Finally after canceling the "fully managed" service and requesting an appropriate fee adjustment due to the absence of expected service quality, they still could not manage to make this amendment and are still charging me.I have taken over the property management myself, and it has proven to be significantly less time consuming.
Dear Helen, Firstly, thank you for the review, we take them all very seriously. Could you let us know which office you have been dealing with as we would like to investigate your experience some more? Thank you.

TrustpilotProvided an excellent service
Excellent service and advice from start to finish of the house selling journey. This was especially important during the recent difficult period to sell a house.The Seymours team were always available, very responsive and kept me fully informed right up to the day of completion. Thanks especially to Mark during the early stages and to Alan as we moved towards completion. Choosing an estate agent is a difficult decision but I was very happy to have chosen Seymours.
Thank you so much for your kind words David. We take pride in providing top-notch service and guidance throughout the entire house selling journey. If you ever need assistance in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you all the best in your new chapter

TrustpilotGreat experience
James and the team were friendly, helpful and never pushy. Our offer was accepted quickly and they were a great help communicating with our sellers when we needed to speed things along. Would recommend!

TrustpilotThe team at Seymours were great
The team at Seymours were great! They really supported us through the process, especially when it came to a fantastic mortgage broker! Chris was really flexible letting us getting numerous quotes / surveys before completion. Would recommend Seymours!
Good mortgage advice is another way to make the property experience a pleasure rather than a chore. Couple this with a great team, what can go wrong! Thanks for the review Hayley, we really appreciate you taking the time.

TrustpilotHouse sale: excellent communication …
I had an excellent house selling experience with Seymours Knaphill. From start to finish their communication was timely, professional and pro-active. Every member of the team I dealt with was equally effective and professional. Our house sale fell through twice and each time they found new buyers, communicated and advised in a logical, experienced-based and sensible manner. I can highly recommend selling your house with them
Thank you for your kind words Gregory. I'm glad to hear that you had an excellent house-selling experience with us. It's been a pleasure to assist you, and always feel free to pop in and say hello.

TrustpilotUnsatisfactory service
We have been living in Woking for five years and have dealt with both the lettings and the sales office. In our most recent experience we have dealt with the sales office for buying our first house. Unfortunately Seymours have strong dominance in the house market in Woking so you are obliged to deal with them but the service is certainly unsatisfactory. During our - very stressful - house buying process we have been contacted by multiple different people at each stage, finding that confusing. When we made our offer in the initial stage, we asked for sink replacement as part of the offer. The offer was agreed but we later found that Seymours did not communicate this term to the seller, who didn't want to accept it later. Seymours offered to pay for cleaning the sink as an apology, which we accepted but still doesn't cancel the disappointment. We were pressed at the time of the sales of memorandum when we were selecting our solicitors, up to the point where we were told the house would have been put back on the market without an answer on the day. We did answer on the day, but things were relatively stagnant in the days afterwards, so we didn't understand the reason for the pressure. After the agreed offer we renegotiated with the survey results and although Seymours would claim they have made any interest in assisting us, we think they have primarily acted in the interest of the seller as the seller never offered once an offer even £1000 lower towards our renegotiation price. We achieved a renegotiation price only by threatening to leave the deal. Seymours would claim it was successful thanks to them, but we have felt strong feeling of distrust in them throughout the process. This was the first time we bought the house and although it is difficult to evaluate seller, agency or solicitor's responsibility, we felt the process was clunky and unnecessary long, with frequent miscommunications and repetitions. This does not mean it is Seymours fault, but certainly we can't claim that Seymours service has been stellar, hence why I can't give 5 stars.A big positive was the mortgage dealer they recommended to us, who has been very supportive.
Thanks Luigi. Lots to digest there and we can't thank you enough for sharing your experience. It helps us to find ways to improve what we can.

TrustpilotExcellent service
During our recent house sale we received an excellent service form the Seymours Team. Adam set a realistic price for the property and he and his colleague Chris achieved the price we wanted to achieve. The support from Clive throughout the process in liaising with and chasing up the lawyers, our purchasers and also those connected with our own house purchase was excellent and really drove forward the whole process.We were impressed with the service received and a very big thank you to the entire team. We would highly recommend them.Tim & Alla
Lovely to read this Tim and Alla. It's been a pleasure to work with you and we could never ask for more than to be recommended. Keep well.

TrustpilotGreat experience for sale and purchase
Great activity from start to finish with plenty of viewings for my sale through to completion. The whole team contributed during and after sale agreed with continuous follow up, sound advice and great communication throughout.They also understood what I was looking for in my purchase and showcased very relevant properties around my specific needs.Above all, a great experience and my thanks to all the team for their hard work and efforts in securing my sale and purchase.
Thanks a bunch for the awesome review! We're so glad you had a great experience with us. From start to finish, it sounds like we kept things rolling smoothly with those viewings and all.Shoutout to the whole team for jumping in during and after the sale, we're all about that teamwork life! Glad our follow-ups, advice, and communication hit the spot.

TrustpilotBrought us home.
Fantastic service from Stewart and the team helping sell our house and move back to the village we wanted. Through the choppy market of the last 18 months they found us our forever home.
How could anyone not love that saying "our forever home". This is when you know it's more than just a house and its more than just a journey. Thanks for using us Gareth and its been our pleasure to share the experience with you.

Simon and the team were very friendly and professional throughout. I received regular updates on the sale of the house which went through smoothly and quickly. I would definitely recommend using Seymours.

Great experience with the sale of 2 properties this year. Both were completed quickly with good efficient buyers.

TrustpilotFriendly, hard working estate agent
Seymours Knaphill have been excellent. Staff were friendly and supportive at all times. They achieved a quick sale and then worked tirelessly to keep viewings going after the first sale fell through, so it wasn't long before we had a second offer.Seymours have a dedicated 'back room' team, which means that the agents can focus on the task of getting your property sold. This works very well.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's great to know that our dedicated 'back room' team made a difference, allowing our agents to focus on selling your property efficiently, and we appreciate your recognition of our efforts. Thank you for choosing Seymours!

TrustpilotCould have been less stressful
Buying and selling properties is undoubtedly stressful. I found the initial meeting very friendly and positive. In retrospect, I think the price set was too high and I should have improved the bungalow before putting it on the market. I think the fact ‘it needed a lot of work’ led to loss of potential buyers and the drop in price needed to sell 7/8 months later was much greater than the amount of money required to upgrade. I guess we all hoped for a quick sale.Seymour’s undoubtedly worked hard to show many potential buyers the property for which I’m grateful.Once a buyer’s offer had been accepted there were many queries and I was not reassured that as a result of further surveys etc that the buyer was committed until out of the blue they wanted to complete the sale within the week. Exchange or completion dates hadn’t been discussed. Maybe a solicitor issue.However I felt forced to accept an early completion date which made things very difficult to arrange clearing and cleaning of the house and garden.We managed to do this working around the clock and I handed the keys in to Seymours and was met with frankly a disappointingly under whelming response. I thought estate agents usually made completion date a special occasion with flowers etc for the parties concerned! Clearly I am out of date.
Thanks for the review Alison. Whilst we try to make every property journey as pleasurable as possible, there are always bumps in the road, many of which are out of our control. Nonetheless, every completion is a success despite how hard it may have been to get there and that alone should be a celebration for all parties. Without such reviews we would never know the areas we need to improve on, so again, thank you for sharing with us, and we apologise for the disappointing completion.

TrustpilotBlackwater - Aiden
I worked with Aiden, he was extremely professional and very easy to talk with. He got the house sold in a very quick manner. My recommendations are for Seymour’s. Great communication and very professional. Thank you!
Hi David. Aiden's a valued member of the team, lives locally and loves the Blackwater community. Great to read your comments and thanks for taking the time to review, it means a great deal to us.

TrustpilotDeceived by Seymours to proceed with purchase
Seymours tricked us with the completion date for purchasing a property, never-ending chains, etc. When we were about to pull out due to delays, they told us we would be able to store our belongings at the new property's garage the day before completion. The person who said to have arranged this (I have it written on emails) is now on annual leave and we've found ourselves stuck in the street with our belongings. No words to describe the unprofessionalism, let alone the integrity of these Seymours people.
Sorry to hear this and the inconvenience and frustration you have experienced with us. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we take your concerns very seriously.We understand the gravity of the miscommunication and the resulting challenges you have faced, particularly with regards to the completion date and the arrangement for storing your belongings. It is our utmost priority to ensure a smooth and transparent process for all.We are actively investigating this matter, including the miscommunication regarding the storage of your belongings. While the responsible person is currently on annual leave. Your experience is certainly not reflective of the level of professionalism and integrity that we aspire to uphold. Please know that we genuinely value your feedback and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

TrustpilotSeymours in Haslemere have been second to none...
Seymours in Haslemere have done a brilliant job in not only marketing my home and securing a good buyer at a fair market price, but also in representing me in the purchase of my next home. Joss, Lily, Paige and Louis have been my contacts throughout and they've all been top notch. I'd highly recommend this business if you are looking at your options when selling or buying a property. It is also worth mentioning that my sale/purchase process was achieved in a very challenging market in mid-2023 with constant changes in interest rates and the havoc that created for buyers and sellers. Seymours kept the show on the road and focused on the task in hand despite the challenges. I'm very happy with my choice of estate agent and I'd highly recommend this team.
Thanks so much Theresa for lovely review. We can't ask for any better than to be recommended.

TrustpilotNot the best experience
Seymours are well known in Woking and they gave a very competitive fee and price so we opted for them. They were aggressive at getting people through the door as their main tactic. Meant we had a lot of viewings which was good but we didn't have any offers early on. Had to cut prices a couple of times, and then they released a similar property a few weeks later which really put us on the back foot. Felt they had overpriced us from the off. All good getting people through the door, but felt that it was a numbers game more than anything and we had bad luck too. When we did finally get an offer, it was lower than hoped (almost 15% lower than the first quoted - to be clear, the market was trending downards too). We had been waiting a while so we accepted only to find the buyer raising issue after issue. Not sure how the property was pushed to the potential buyer but Iit got too much as they asked for discount after discount, so we decided to pull it from them and moved to another estate agent in the area. We sold through them within 6 months. Other people seem to have a good experience with Seymours Woking, but ours wasn't the best
Thank you for your candid feedback, Mike. Reviews like yours hold immense value as they provide us with the means to consistently evaluate our services and pinpoint areas that warrant improvement. Pricing is a nuanced matter, often contingent on a multitude of variables, heavily influenced by the depth of knowledge and experience involved. Typically, if an asking price is disproportionately high in comparison to alternatives, it can severely impede the generation of prospective viewings.In instances where we do facilitate viewings, it remains paramount for us to attentively absorb the feedback offered. This allows us to enact pertinent adjustments, spanning from recommendations regarding interior design, decor, landscaping, our marketing strategies, and naturally, the pricing itself. Furthermore, fluctuations in market confidence or shifts in interest rates can introduce an element of stress, affecting not only the seller but also the buyer and us as agents.Our commitment is unwavering in striving to ensure that every individual's property journey with us is characterised by minimal stress. Regrettably, this experience has not reached the 100% satisfaction mark for you this time.
