Someone is always available straight away to help, and they give a very friendly professional service. Best of all they actually seem to really care. My sale and purchase are both being done through them and they have given an amazing service right through. Jess and Mike were massively helpful, and the other staff were all great too. Thank you!...

Initial interaction with Olivia Shannon a little unsettling as Olivia has an unfortunate habit of laughing/giggling at intervals when she is introducing herself on the phone or when she is doing follow up calls.
In other words, introduces herself and then laughs, sounds like a nervous laugh.
Presumably her managers haven't noticed or don't consider it an issue. The trouble is, it doesn't inspire confidence - also, as I said to my daughter who had dealt with Olivia on a recent rental and agreed with me, it doesn't sound very professional and is rather disconcerting (why would an estate agent be giggling?)
However Olivia was always on the end of the phone when I asked for her.
She also recommended a property that was in Hiltingbury (it wasn't in that area) and also not sure where Bournemouth Rd was when I was trying to locate a property - maybe it was an off day.
Mike very good and also reassuring.
Spoke to Jess on the phone but it was really difficult to hear what she was saying as her voice is fast and very high pitched. I had to get her to repeat things as she was so shrill.
However very knowledgeable about the property I was buying. Was not fazed by questions about the boiler and was happy to explain the split chain involved.
Suggest managers listen to their staff (literally)to get the impact they are passing on to buyers. I am wondering what kind of staff training Charters are doing. Would it help to listen to how their staff are coming across by phone?... Read more

We had a great experience with Elle at Charters when trying to find a house to purchase - she was professional, friendly and very easy to work with. She took the time to understand what it was we were looking for and was in touch regularly with updates on any new properties or to check whether our requirements had changed. She made what can be a very stressful time so much easier to handle, I couldn’t recommend her more.... Read more

We would like to thank Charters for the exceptional service received. Especially would like to mention Olivia for contacting us as soon as they received a new instruction from the vendor, Victoria for handling the negotiations and Lisa for dealing with conveyances while keeping us up to date. The process became very complex due to unforeseen circumstances, however, thanks to Charters, all of us achieved the end goal. Their desire to support, value the customers as well as negotiation skills are second to none. Therefore, we would definitely recommend Charters and they deserve much more than five stars for this review. Thank you!... Read more

Everyone at Charters has been a great help to us in the buying and selling process. Simon Edser was particularly great in helping us to sell our flat in Southampton. He kept in touch regularly and had great knowledge of the local area. He was particularly good at showing prospective buyers around and answering their queries promptly. When we came to buying a new property in chandlers Ford, Lisa and Amy both helped liaise with our buyers and sellers. They were both fantastic at being available to help with our queries and letting us know how things were progressing.

In the process of buying through Charters, and they have been excellent to date - knowledgeable responsive and patient. Elle has been absolutely brilliant. We have had various challenges in buying, but she really knows the area, and when she takes you round the properties she clearly knows her stuff - have bought and sold various houses over the years, but Elle has been by some distance the best agent I have worked with. Above all she is patient and shows a true interest and desire to make things work. Cannot speak highly enough of her.... Read more

Charters have been extremely professional, proactive and efficient in handling the sale of a flat and house, and the purchase of a new house.
All the staff are clearly dedicated to their job, and pride themselves on their professional approach. I have always been confident that they are listening and taking things seriously when I contact them. They have handled everything with the same consistent approach, from the first contact right through to the completion of the sale and purchase.
I have been dealing mostly with Elle McCrindle who has been outstanding. She has been efficient and professional for certain, but she has also had a personal approach which shows that she really does care how things are progressing. I’m certain that her manner has helped the sale of my house enormously, and I continue to be impressed with how she is handling the inevitable questions and complications along the way.
If there was an award - I’d give it to Elle!!... Read more

Alex from Charters in Chandlers Ford worked with us very well to arrange a tenant for our property. He gave us regular updates on viewings until we found a tenant. We were fortunate in that the property was on their website for barely 24 hrs. and the deal arranged. All communication was professional whether email or on the telephone, yet he made us feel we were 'friends' and that nothing was too much trouble. Alex ensured we were fully informed regarding leasing properties e.g. legal aspects we did not know about. From arranging the contract to collecting keys for the property he afforded us an excellent service. Thank you.... Read more

We have been extremely pleased with the professional service provided from day one by Charters. Once we were on the market Victoria Timson and her team were very proactive in directing potential purchasers to our property with 3 viewings before our details were published and eight more in the first week after going on the market. We were kept fully informed on the outcome of each viewing and worked with Victoria to agree the sale just over two weeks after going on the market.
When we decided to sell our property, Michael from Charters was best able to demonstrate achieving sales of similar types of property in our area. The pictures taken and brochure produced by Charters were first class.... Read more

I have had dealings with Charters in being a potential buyer of a property which was on the market with them. When I called to arrange a viewing I was told there was no time to show me this property for just over a week as they were too busy. This property was also on the market with another agent so I called them to see if I could view the property and managed to see it that same evening. A week later we had put in an offer and were in the process of buying said property. The experience I have had with charters since then has been, in my opinion, one of complete unprofessionalism. Firstly after we had our offer accepted on the property through another agent, charters ignored instruction to take the listing down from right move and their website for the best part of a week, leaving us potentially exposed to being gazumped. It took several requests from various parties for them to remove the property from right move. Now weeks after this I am informed that charters have contacted the owner of the house we are in the process of buying, and told them that we are pulling out of the sale and have offered on another property. Understandably the owner grew concerned and had to contact the agent we are buying through to ask if this was in fact true. Our agent reassured him that this was not the case. Charters had completely misinformed the seller and put in jeopardy, our whole chain. This whole experience has been one that has instilled in me, for any future buying or selling, that I will not under any circumstances deal with charters. I feel ever since we had our offer accepted on our new home, they have gone out of their way to throw a spanner in the works. This shows me that the companies values are not in line with the community and spirit of chandlers Ford. I would not recommend this company for people selling and I would not recommend this company for people looking to buy.... Read more

Such was Charters incompetence that I had to communicate directly with the buyer to get things done! Even when we did this, Charters still claimed they were "waiting for information" even though we had BOTH provided that information. Charters also have a cosy relationship with Dutton Gregory Solicitors (family members working at both firms - wink wink) and they recommend each others services. And then give the most shockingly bad service. They charge a lot of money, do nothing for it and are very pompus. I've bought and sold circa 15 houses before and Charters are by far the worst estate agent I've dealt with. Bishops please come back!... Read more

I have made purchase of my first house with Charters CF some time ago now but now cleaning my mailbox I recalled I was going to place comment here. So on average they are ok but obviously being paid from sell price they try to keep price up. They are not to pushy re use of their Finance Advisor but are pushy to make an appointment with him. Its a matter of him to evaluate if you can afford estate and then he gives an agents green light to process. I had a feeling not ok if person related to agency know what my affordability is. As this information allow agency to keep price high.
Second objection is finalization of purchase. House supposed to be released on Wed but actually we've been told previous owner has a delay and agent have no keys yet. So next day when eventually afternoon house was ready when I arrived to collect a keys they didnt even know where they are or how they look like :) As I have some marketing/sales background I know it’s one of the most disrespectful ways to treat customer.
For a person buying first house for a large amount of money getting keys is something unique. And when he/she gets to agency when nobody knows where keys are, not a word of sorry, not even a thank you card… it’s just not right. I got a few keys that I had to guess which door they open :) Selling cars for years I know that for collection car needs to be shiny, polished, perfumed, sales person is waiting with a keys and small thank you gift. Then customer for sure will be satisfied and more likely comes back. Don’t count on such treatment with Charters tough :)
Other than that all went smooth and successful.... Read more
