TrustpilotDeserve Negative 5 Stars
Rogue agency to be avoided at all costs. They are ignorant of the market place, highly arrogant but above all they are incompetent. To compensate for their incompetence, they are abusive and heavily rely on gaslighting you on the phone but will not commit such sentiments to writing. They act against the best interest of their client, the seller. The only way they can sell a house is at less than its market value. They will verbally abuse and try and coerce you sell at any price in order for them to get their commission. They do this through falsifying data, being incapable of dealing with buyers professionally with competence and will harass you multiple times a day to apply pressure. When challenged they act like petulant children and do not fulfil their contractual obligations. To anyone looking for an agent, heed the multiple warnings about this agency being rouges. Selling a home is an extremely stressful process compounded tenfold by the abusive, unprofessional and incompetence of these agents. Extremely concerning for old or vulnerable sellers who may be bullied by their agents into making poor financial decisions that will negatively impact their futures and standard of living, all so they can gain a commission at any cost. Totally unethical and inhumane. Review relates to Horsell Office
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Jackie. Your feedback is important, and we rely on hearing from our clients to ensure we’re doing a great job.Given the rating and detail in your review, this clearly was not the case for you, and we are sorry to hear this. Our customers are the heart of our business, and we understand that our job is to put them first. We are glad that we were able to get to a successful exchange and completion on your property in Ottershaw. After having been on with several other agents for over a year and having had to reduce the property several times before coming to Seymours, it must have been a relief that we were finally able to secure a buyer for you.From the start, it was clear that you were unhappy with ‘the process’ itself because it sounds like you fell out with all four of the previous estate agents when they hadn’t found you a buyer. We believe in honest, factual advice and have built our business on these principles. The data we often use comes straight from rightmove which shows the entire marketplace of who is selling what and for how much. Whilst it may not have been what you wanted to hear, it is what you needed to know, and we didn’t force you to go through with the sale at the offer you agreed to. It’s a shame you felt the need to leave us this 1 star review even though we were the only ones to be honest with you from the start on the price and market. As it’s the first ever bad review and having had over 100 Google reviews that were all 5 stars, in this instance, we are going to have to agree to disagree with your recollection and politely wish you the best of luck. Thank you, again, for taking the time to share your review, we hope you have a lovely Christmas in your new home.

TrustpilotUtterly rude and unprofessional
A viewing was arranged for a rental property. I was told a time via telephone to then receive a confirmation email which stated a different time, I can live with that. I get to the property and no agent is visible but a resident is in the home by the window. Another person arrived with children to view the same property. After a few more minutes a man opens the door and stares, I ask if he is the agent and he says he is the colleague of the agent. I explain I think there is a mix up as my appointment was 5 minutes ago and another person has arrived to view, he replies no problem we get as many people in as possible. I said oh I wasn't made aware others will be viewing with me and it was a little uncomfortable. His reply "you're confrontational!" I said that's rather unprofessional and he repeats that I am confrontational. He then proceeds to tell me to go wonder round, I asked if he wants me to view the house on my own, he said "no you go walk about and I'll follow or I'll be in your way" I said that's a different way of viewing and I'm not comfortable roaming around someone's property like that and would at the very least would expect him to tell me about the property, he repeated I was confrontational and then sarcastically said "THERE'S THE BATHROOM!" I replied I think I will leave and he retorted good I think you should. I will never rent any property from Seymours thanks to the most unprofessional, arrogant, lazy and rude 'estate agent' AARON!People's houses deserve respect and Aaron lacks respect in abundance. I didn't appreciate an email asking me to "put in an offer" before I had even viewed the property either!
Dear Susan, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. This falls well below our service standards, and we take your feedback seriously.

TrustpilotProfessional Proactive Service
Professional Proactive Service I have been very impressed with the service I have received from Seymours. They were proactive from the beginning. James came very prepared for our first meeting & left me feeling much more confident of progression than I had with my previous estate agent.JP has been excellent from the start from his initial call introducing himself . He has always kept me informed & I haven’t felt as though I needed to chase him.
Thank you LK. It's fantastic to know that James came prepared and left you feeling confident about the progression of your property sale. We're also glad to hear that JP has been excellent in keeping you informed and maintaining proactive communication. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

GoogleThank you Kirsty for going above and beyond with our sale. The whole process dragged on due to protracted dealings with the buyer and their solicitors. She kept everything moving forward, whilst keeping us updated at every point. Would highly recommend both Kirsty and Seymour's.

GoogleWe have spent over a year searching for the right house. Seymours West Byfleet have been outstanding. Alex Rumsey knew exactly what our requirements were and only presented properties that met our specific criteria. Alex was always very friendly, approachable, happy to answer questions and went above and beyond our expectations. Superb service from Alex!!. Highly recommend Seymours West Byfleet.
Hi there, thank you so much for such a great review. We're so pleased to hear you've had such a positive experience with us. We'll be sure to pass the praise onto Alex. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you require our services again in the future.

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.

GoogleAfter no luck with our current agent, we received a door knock from Jake @ Seymours, seeing if he could help with our sale. We were still in contract with the current agent but loosely stayed in touch with Jake until the term ended, at that point he came to value our property and advised the previous agent had marketed our home too high. Jake worked with us and we agreed on a new plan and marketing strategy. We re-marketed our property with an open day which resulted in numerous offers, even over the asking price! We are delighted that Jake knocked on our door when he did and would not hesitate to recommend the Seymours team, great experience throughout.
Thank you for the 5* review and for the recommendation, we pride ourselves on our service and our ability to provide all our clients with honest and transparent advice with a view to buying/selling your home, every review is important to our growth and very much appreciated. Congratulations on a successful sale.

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

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.

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.

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.
