I would strongly advise others to think…

I would strongly advise others to think twice before renting through this estate agent. When we signed our tenancy agreement, the property was advertised and agreed with included parking, which was a key factor in our decision to rent the flat.

From the first phone call with John he was absolutely superb with helping us find our first rental property. Allowing my fiancé and I to view the property during his lunch break and letting us view multiple apartments you can tell he cares about his job and is super professional. He answered all the questions we had asked and was so enthusiastic with everything. We felt valued from the first minute and helped massively being first time renters by explaining everything we needed to know. 10/10 for John and Hunters.

Richard was our point of contact from the start to the end which gives great continuity, and he was there every step of the way. Moving can be very stressful at the best of times but it makes it easier knowing someone was there to help. We all cheered when we finally exchanged :-).

Do not use for rentals

Do not use for rentals. There is a cost of living crisis of which this company is taking advantage of it with overvalued properties and fees. I paid a holding fee which equates to one weeks rent whilst going through necessary checks. I was truthful that I had a little adverse credit from over 5 years ago but I had an amazing reference from my current landlord of 10 years (of which they knew him as he uses them for some of his properties) plus a steady job. It was taking this agent over a week to get back to me about anything, never returned calls and I was growing concerned. Unbeknown to me, if you also don’t earn three times the rent of the property, you will also fail their checks as they will deem you unable to afford payments. I tried arguing that I could afford it because even after rent, I still had over £1k left and it’s a little unfair to set such judgments on people. They even agreed that they knew I could afford it but it wasn’t up to them but down to their policies etc. I couldn’t get a guarantor which prompted them to say didn’t I have a partner who could move in to bump up the financial figures or guarantor me. Therefore I ended up losing my ‘holding fee’ which is a considerate sum and if this company does this to 10 people a week, they are making a packet for nothing. What gives them The right to put people over a barrel like this?!!! It’s extortion!!! Especially with the current climate and people needing homes and struggling with increasing prices of food, gas and electric. A house is a necessity, people need to live and be safe but this agent seems to be very discriminatory and setting unrealistic benchmarks.

I would never ever used this Company…

I would never ever used this Company again. They failed to tell my tennent I was selling up, because of mortgage increases, I even even emailed them. Heard nothing so I assumed they had told the tennent. Two months later when I thought I'd have my property back, they told me they hadn't told the tennent. Also the tennent flooded my bathroom and cost me £2000 to fix!

Richard Fincham from Hunters Wokingham was extremely responsive and met us the same day we asked him to sell our flat, He suggested a sale price that should attract offers and the next day he found a buyer who proceeded through to Completion. Throughout the legal processes he maintained contact with both sides and kept us fully informed on the status. We are very pleased with his service and would recommend him to anyone.

We bought a house recently that was marketed by Hunters and wanted to say how amazing Richard was. He was always on hand to ask any questions and worked well with the other estate agents and his client to keep the process moving forward quickly. He also checked in with us after to move to make sure we were all settled. A really nice, straight forward experience and service with a smile :)

Professional Friendly service

Having sold several properties in the past, the service I have received from Emma Bell in Annan Dumfries and Galloway has been exceptional. With her 20 years experience in marketing properties, I found her advice and professionalism second to none.Very friendly, fully informed and as passionate as I am about my property.Her examples of similar properties was really helpful.

Hunters Estate - Demi May

Demi May was my first point of contact who communicated effectively and efficiently between me, the buyer, and the seller. Demi was amiable, astute listener and professional in the way she facilitated the next steps of the purchasing process. Her effective communication skills enabled me to secure multiple viewings with ease. I would strongly recommend Demi May to any company who is looking to appoint someone reliable, kind and proactive.

Just shocked at how I have been treated...

Quite possibly the worst estate agents I have had the displeasure of dealing with. Took them 3 weeks to acknowledge that I was looking to rent, then after 2 viewings they didn't even tell me the landlord had decided to not rent the flats anymore. To add insult to injury they didn't even cross sell to show me other properties they have. I would like to say I am shocked but I am not. I will never use them ever... EVER!

We bought our new house through Hunters. Richard Fincham was the agent that we dealt with and he was brilliant. Nice guy, very responsive and professional. He even kept on top of our move whilst he was on holiday as we got close to exchange. Would definitely recommend!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We recently relocated from overseas, and with those challenges we were very appreciative of the professional service and advice that Eltjon and the team at Hunters have provided, in helping us secure our rental property seamlessly and stress free. Gemma has also been fantastic in getting any issues resolved in a prompt and professional manner.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I had an outstanding experience working with Gary as my estate agent. From the very beginning, he was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the market. He took the time to understand my needs and guided me through every step of the process with clarity and patience.

The Amazing Sandra

I had a viewing in windmill road gillingham on saturday I was early for my appointment and greeted by sandra. I have had lots of viewings with other estate agents recently but sandra was def the best. Her professionalism was amazing she was very honest which is rare for most estate agents :) and she knew everything about each room before we stepped in it. Sandra's knowledge of the area was great regarding parking near by facilities. Clearly she did her research before the viewing. I feel she is a real credit to the company and everybody should learn from her how to conduct a viewing in a professional way. She should be the face of customer experience for the whole industry not just hunters. I understand this is a sales environment and results won't always reflect how good or valuable a person is but hunters def should invest in this one for long term as the old saying goes people buy from people. Thank you so much Sandra :)

My brother and I contacted Hunters…

My brother and I contacted Hunters recently in relation to a 6 bedroom detached house with extensive parking & gardens in Buntingford Hertfordshire. We arranged an appointment with their employee Laura. My brother and I were so impressed by Laura from our first meeting in relation to her knowledge of lettings. She proved herself to be highly efficient and courteous during the following week and arranged all the certification, photos & floor plans for the letting with the individual contractors and in addition to providing us with beautiful Client brochures posted it on Rightmove within a very short time scale. I would highly recommend Laura and Hunters.

I wanted to take the time out to thank the team for helping us purchase our first home. I personally wanted to thank Richard for his kind, patient and helpful approach. He was such a wonderful person to talk to throughout the process and was highly knowledgeable which helped us understand things better. When visiting the estate agents for the big day (keys pick up) the team bought us a beautiful house plant which was such a wonderful touch! They were super excited for us and we’re very grateful for all your help! Thank you!

I recently sold 3 houses with Hunters in Gateshead and I have to say Hunters did a job a great job for me. A couple of the sales were not straight forward but they managed to get the sales over the line and and showed great worth ethic and professionalism. Rob is always on the other side of the phone going the extra mile to help out. They also managed my rentals and did an amazing job finding me great tenants. I have no doubt in recommending their services to anyone looking to buy sell or rent property in Gateshead and around. Anthony Jowers
