Hunters Yate reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

I have just completed a house purchase through Hunters in Yate. Having had very challenging experiences with the property market in previous years, can I thank Lynette, Rob, and the team for making this purchase an absolute pleasure! From my first email correspondence with Lynette, to the viewings, to the honest advice, to the timely responses to all correspondence, to the referrals to approved third party support partners (who were also excellent, a special shout to to Teaghan of Taylor Rose Solicitors), to completing on the property in just over 2 months from the date of my offer, the whole experience has been seamless. I cannot thank you all enough and it has been a delight to move into my wonderful new home relatively stress free! I would have no hesitation in recommending Hunters in Yate for either your property buying or selling requirements!

I cannot fault Sharon Sparkes and the effort she put into helping me and my partner find our first home. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the sale couldn't have gone any smoother! Thanks again Sharon and Team (Original review 2020) Update 2026; Sharon has delivered again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Six years later, Sharon has once again gone above and beyond. Her communication, professionalism, and dedication have been exceptional from start to finish. It's rare to find someone so consistently reliable and genuinely invested in getting the best outcome for their clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sharon and the team to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you again for another fantastic experience!

At what was an extremely difficult time we used Hunters to sell my brother’s bungalow. Having lost him to cancer it was a very emotional time and the service we received was excellent especially from Lynette and the team. Knowing the neighbours we wanted buyers who would embrace the area and Lynette found us the perfect match. I cannot recommend enough the work done from start to finish to make the process so smooth. Thankyou!!

I would like to give a massive shout-out to the team at Hunters in Yate. Rob, Sharon and Lynette were fantastic throughout our move process. Sharon was informative, knowledgeable and professional throughout. Even when things weren't going as planned in the later stages the Sharon kept us informed, and went above and beyond to ensure things were kept on track. Thank you.

We recently completed our house sale and purchase through Hunters and I cannot praise their service highly enough. A special mention to Sharon, who navigated a very large and difficult chain and with her highly professional and considerate manner kept us sane. She worked tirelessly and went above and beyond expectations at every step, often working in her own time to keep wheels in motion. We are incredibly grateful for all her help in securing our forever home and would recommend Hunters to anyone. Thank you all.

I’ve just completed a sale with Hunters, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first conversation, the team were professional, proactive, and genuinely invested in making the whole process as smooth as possible. A special mention has to go to Rob and Sharon, who were absolutely outstanding throughout. Rob was consistently on the ball, clear communication, honest advice, and a calm, reassuring presence at every stage. Sharon was equally brilliant: friendly, organised, excellent communicator and always one step ahead, making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. What really stood out was how human the whole experience felt. No pushiness, no generic sales talk, just real people who clearly care about doing a great job. They kept me updated, chased things when needed, and made what could have been a stressful process feel surprisingly straightforward. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell. Exceptional service, and genuinely lovely people to deal with.

We had an excellent experience with Hunters, and Sharon in particular was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, she was professional, approachable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. When I was stressed (which was a lot of the time!), Sharon always went the extra mile to help. Her knowledge and calm reassurance made a stressful process, feel smooth and well managed. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and dedication. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring estate agent.

I would like to say a massive thank you to Sharon and Lynette, we booked a viewing to see a house down the road from us after being let down by another estate agent - Feeling a bit disheartened, when lynette suggested we should come and see this other place (where we are living now - thank goodness) All the way through the process sharon and lynette talked me and my partner through everything (especially great being first time buyers and having 0 clue at all) which was an amazing help when you instructed a very slow and non efficient conveyancer. Words can not explain how valuable sharon and lynette are and how lucky Hunters is to have them under there belt as we would not be where we are now if it wasn’t for them. And we are both very greatful for all the help and support during a very daunting experience as first time buyers!! Thank you <3

This company doesn't seem to care…

This company doesn't seem to care either about their prospective customers or their existing landlords. I have an outstanding issue with their poor tenant management at a property that they have let for a number of years and their failure to recover documented damage after the tenant vacated the property. Nobody is answering my emails. The owner has notified his landlords that yet another staff member has left the company, they are notorious for being unable to retain staff. I would not recommend them to anyone.

Gutted

I was really impressed with the valuer's sales pitch and genuinely believed they would be the best firm to sell my home. The fact they had a relationship with Ryan property law also played a part, although that turned out to be a disaster, but that's a review for another day. Experience of sales team - Georgia is so lovely and was a pleasure to work with. However, even after a week, the sole promotion strategy was pushing me to lower the price, which I eventually caved into and feel like I would have got more money had I gone with an approach suggested by a different agent. I had over 30 viewings, which was exhausting preparing the house for. Most of these were time wasting - one definitely a pseudonym (why don't they ask for ID checks?) and at least 10 weren't actually people who were in a position to buy (not got house on market or it would turn out they'd offered elsewhere). The buyers buyer (also buying through Hunters), was not vetted correctly or there was a big cover up. If there was a cover up, Hunters couldn't tell me, because they had such poor record keeping. I was sent evidence of some record keeping with regards to something else (hello GDPR breach!) and it was full of typos and omissions. Sales progression experience was horrific. Thankfully they eventually replaced the person, as I could go on and on with my list of what she did that was totally unprofessional, but worst bit is she could have put my children at risk if it had been a DV situation, as she told everyone in the chain my new address and all the addresses of everyone in the chain, repeatedly. I repeatedly complained about her and they left it far too late to do anything. Absolutely appalling and this estate agent caused so much additional stress to what was already a horrific chain. I would not recommend to anyone.

We have recently purchased our new home through hunters and I honestly am so impressed by the level of customer service we have received from Sharon! A real credit to your company! Always so helpful, happy & just making us feel comfortable going through the process of purchasing a home! Hopefully she gets a nice Christmas end of year bonus for all of her hard earned work! From start to finish we have felt reassured and have always had our questions answered within a matter of hours or less! Thank you so much Sharon for making this experience as easy as it can be for us! Also thank you Rob for always being so helpful and lovely on the telephone! Have a great Christmas everyone & thank you again!xxx

I have used Hunters Estate agent YATE several times and have received consistently high customer service . Sharon is exceptional at her job going above and beyond, I felt supported and updated every step of the way. Sharon made sure that the chain - from seller to buyer and solicitors involved were all appraised of each step and chased for answers and action when needed. Rob Chapman is at the helm and his knowledge of the housing market is pertinent and valuable all his team are friendly professional and customer oriented. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you .

Lynette, Sharon and Rob were so helpful during our house move. We didn’t have the best solicitors and so all of their help chasing and speaking to the right people in order to get the bill rolling and making sure we stayed on track was really essential. They genuinely are a lovely bunch of people who are looking out for you. Thank you for all your help and the next time we move (hopefully not soon!!) we will be using Hunters!

I came to Hunters, particularly Sharon Sparkes, to sell my home in Chipping Sodbury, after 3 months of another local agency having zero success in selling the property. I live overseas and am 100% reliant on clear communication and a total commitment from the sales agency. Sharon was amazing and went above and beyond. Within a week I had multiple viewings and within 10 days I had a solid buyer. Everyone question I had was answered immediately, and reassuring emails throughout the process kept me sane and in the loop. I can’t thank you enough for all your professionalism and help.

Dreadful Experience

We booked valuation. Confirmed twice no show. She eventually came late at night & we fell for the speel. Big mistake just full of empty promises. No response to phone calls or emails. 17 days before first viewing. Buyers were not vetted as we were told. Some hadn't even got their house on the market. It was a truly horrible experience. Finally got a offer £30,000 below asking price! THEN I had an long email telling me we should take it ! They are beyond rubbish. They take on too many clients & cannot give you the time. They don't even ask if appointment is convenient to you. One word ....Jokers Two words....Avoid Avoid If I could give zero stars I would

5-Star Review I recently sold my home with the help of Rob and his team from Hunters in Yate , and I couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding service I received. From the very start, they were professional, proactive, and communicative, keeping me informed at every step of the process. What truly stood out, however, was the support during the final stages of the sale. When things became complicated and stressful, Rob went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. They dealt with last-minute issues quickly and calmly, coordinated with all parties involved, and truly acted in my best interest throughout. Their dedication, patience, and attention to detail made all the difference. I genuinely believe the sale would not have gone through as smoothly without their involvement. I highly recommend Rob and the team at Hunters estate agent in Yate, to anyone looking to sell their property, you're in excellent hands.

Sharon was absolutely fantastic during our first home purchase. She was always keeping us updated and in the loop and as first time buyers this was exactly what we needed. The process was very smooth and Sharon was brilliant at chasing the solicitors and keeping the ball rolling. Thank you Hunters and Sharon!

Hunters, first rate and professional Estate Agent that handled both the selling of our house in Wickham Close and the purchase of new home in Ladden Village. Nothing was too much trouble for Sharon, Lynette and Rob. Always with a smile on their face every time we popped into Hunters. All our questions and queries regarding the move dealt with very quickly and in a positive manner. If you are thinking of selling or buying a house I would certainly recommend Hunters as your first point of call.

I had an exceptional experience working…

I had an exceptional experience working with Julie Decraene throughout my house purchase. From start to finish before passing onto the next agent for the further process of buying my house, her service was nothing short of outstanding. She made what can often be a stressful and complicated process feel smooth, straightforward, and incredibly efficient. Julie was always professional, approachable, and highly responsive. Any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly and clearly, which gave me a great deal of confidence and peace of mind. Her knowledge and expertise were evident at every stage, and she guided me through the process with ease, ensuring everything moved forward quickly without any unnecessary delays. What truly stood out was how seamless she made the entire experience. The process of buying a house can be overwhelming, but Julie handled everything with such organisation and attention to detail that it felt effortless on my part. Her dedication and commitment to providing excellent service really shone through. I am genuinely grateful for her support and would highly recommend Julie Decraene to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and professional service. She has made a significant milestone in my life an incredibly positive and stress-free experience.

Sharon and Lynette were both extremely professional during the sale of my flat and a subsequent purchase. Responded to all emails and inquires promptly and were always very helpfully and friendly. Certainly wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the team at Yate.

Excellent experience with Hunters

We had an excellent experience with Hunters from start to finish. Richard, Brenda and Adam were fantastic throughout the entire process - always responsive, easy to contact, and happy to help with any questions we had. Everything ran smoothly with no issues at all, and their professionalism and communication made a potentially stressful process much easier. We would highly recommend Hunters to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

One of my worst experience buying a house from hunters

One of my worst experience buying a house from hunters auction. House was listed on website and tenanted for a fixed amount of rent which I was told by the auction agent called Robert. Also house was in bad state but got told tenants don’t care so why do you. Only to find out later on that tenants have never paid anywhere near that amount and it’s so much lower. So was lied to first of all and then later to meet the tenants and for them to tell us all the work they was promised and they wanted the house fixing top to bottom. What an absolute joke and waste of time and money. Keep your money and go elsewhere they will tell you anything just to sell a house that is overpriced
