First time we have purchased a property through this company and cannot praise too highly. Lorraine, Tony and Carol were excellent throughout on a difficult chain and helped us greatly from start to finish, keeping us informed and were always very pleasant up to exchange and completion.

Hillier and Wilson have been absolutely fantastic. They helped save our journey towards our dream house. We had been on with a different agent for 9 months having made an offer on our dream home. With no success we were worried we would lose the property to changed agents to Hillier and Wilson. They gave us some excellent advice on things we could do to lift the property a bit and make it sell. It worked and we sold it within about a month with them. After our sale Carol went above and beyond to get the chain to completion leading the whole process and getting all other parties to arrange a date. Without her persistence I believe it could have taken several extra months to go through.
I can honestly say without changing to Hillier and Wilson I'm not convinced we would have gotten our sale through and we would have lost of forever home. I cannot recommend them enough... Read more

We couldn’t be happier with the service we have received from Hiller & Wilson. From start to finish, they have been professional, proactive, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome.
Their advice on pricing, presentation, and marketing was amazing, and the whole process felt smooth and well-managed.
What really stood out was their support in helping us secure our forever home at the same time. They kept everything moving, communicated clearly throughout, and made what can be a stressful process feel straightforward and under control.
A special shout out to Lorraine, Matthew, Alex and Tony who were all fantastic throughout—always responsive, helpful, and reassuring at every stage.
We’re so grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend Hiller & Wilson to anyone looking to buy or sell.... Read more

Utterly rude obnoxious and condescending - I never spoken to anyone worse as an agent than Lorraine - Please keep clear - She believes she is god gifts to earth yet utterly useless
Reply to Hilliers response - I am glad to see you took all me details down correctly last week when we spoke as to not have my details after giving them to you further validates my point. I spoke to a lady - Lorraine whilst enquiring on a home in Goldwell Drive. All was fine until I mentioned I was going to sell with someone else, one can only assume a competitor to you, as she became rude, dismissive and not wanting to deal with me. As such I did not even get a viewing at the home booked as I never got the chance to speak with her talking over me. Since my call, I have had offers on home without launching a would now be in a position to move without a mortgage. Whilst I can not say I would have bought Goldwell, it did tick a lot of boxes for me. This lady Lorraine has potentially lost Goldwell a buyer down purely to her rudeness and attitude to me. I hope that clarifies that this isn’t a “bogus review”... Read more

Be very careful buying a property through these sharks. They took us right up to exchange and then the seller suddenly demanded £10,000 more for the property or he would pull out. We refused to be bullied like this, so ended up losing a large amount of money as a result of wasted searches and solicitor’s fees.
We had the searches done promptly and did everything in our power to proceed with the sale in a timely manner, and they still treated us in an absolutely disgusting way and acted with zero integrity. Hillier and Wilson fully sided with the seller and fully supported him in attempting to rip us off, they didn’t even offer us an apology.... Read more

I would like to thank Tony, Lorraine and all the team at Hillier and Wilson for marketing and selling my house at full asking price.
Throughout our selling and buying process Tony provided invaluable advice and worked really hard to find suitable buyers. Lorraine followed this up by playing a key role to ensure that the entire chain remained in tact all the way to exchange of contract keeping me fully updated throughout.
I would highly recommend Hillier and Wilson to anyone who wants to sell their house quickly securing the best price.

Please scroll down other reviews and see I am not the only persons stating this! Again the company states poor behaviour of which there was none. See below for similar posts about the companies behaviour and odd requests!!
This was my original post and I still stand by it!
In this day and age women do make choices…. Maybe not in Hillier and Wilson’s business or family but certainly in mine and many of my friends. There is a law against this kind of discrimination toward me today and cannot believe that it occurred.
It all started with my request to view a property that they were advertising. I was called and they stated as I was a Mrs there must be a Mr and what’s his name!?!? I found that strange but passed on my husband’s details. I then was contacted by them for a sooner viewing however when I said I would be coming alone they said I couldn’t as I needed to view with my Husband! I immediately told them that the original booking, I would have attending alone aswell. They immediately said that they’d not allow that one either, as I needed to attend with my husband! I was passed on to the equally rude male owner who then said it was a matter of lack of staff and them not wanting to do a second viewing. I promptly told him if I liked the property and offered, we’d require a second viewing anyway and he scoffed at me. Clearly showing it was, in fact that I was a woman viewing alone that they found unacceptable. Finally what made me not pursue was the male owners statement that due to my call and disagreement he would make sure only he was at the viewing and not his staff, I found this both a bullying tactic, a male chauvinistic attitude and frankly both unacceptable and intimating to say the least. Hence I didn’t book the viewing.... Read more

Tony and Lorraine at Hillier Wilson were recommended by my brother who is also selling his family home.
We saw 5 local estate agents all well known and the cream of the crop according to Get Agent.
Tony, on his visit stood out with his assured but approachable style and his extensive knowledge of the local area (20 years)
The marketing really did show our home off to its best and we ended up selling after a week online and the first viewing the following weekend.
Spot on valuation, sold at the asking price!

They communicated regularly, keeping me well-informed throughout the process. Their attention to detail and personalized approach made me feel confident and supported at every step.
What truly stood out was Hillier and Wilson's commitment to going the extra mile. They arranged numerous viewings and accommodated buyers' schedules, ensuring that each visit showcased my property's best features. Their exceptional negotiation skills resulted in a favorable outcome, exceeding my initial expectations.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Hillier and Wilson in Newbury to sell my house, and I must say that their service far exceeded my expectations.

First and foremost, Hillier and Wilson displayed an in-depth knowledge of the local real estate market. They took the time to thoroughly understand the unique selling points of my property and effectively highlighted them in the marketing materials. Their insightful advice helped me position my house competitively in the market, resulting in a quick sale at a favorable price.
The communication throughout the entire process was exceptional and they promptly responded to my inquiries, provided regular updates, and guided me through each step with clarity and transparency. Their attention to detail was evident in the comprehensive information they provided, ensuring that I was well-informed and able to make informed decisions.
What truly impressed me was their commitment to going the extra mile. They tirelessly arranged and conducted numerous viewings, accommodating potential buyers' schedules and ensuring that each visit showcased my property's best features. Their personalized approach and dedication to understanding the needs of both buyers and sellers helped forge strong connections and ultimately facilitated a smooth negotiation process.
They demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills and expertly navigated through offers, providing valuable insights and guidance, which ultimately resulted in a favorable outcome for me. Their professionalism and ability to handle complex negotiations with tact and integrity were truly remarkable.
Overall, I cannot recommend Hillier and Wilson highly enough. Their outstanding service, market knowledge, exceptional communication, and unwavering dedication set them apart from other estate agents I have used in the past.

Relocating to area, so difficult to make trips to the area. Tried to make appointments to view two properties, unfortunately poor communications to confirm.
Eventually tried to re-schedule due to work commitments, but no staff available on Friday.
So when suggested my wife viewed on her own on the original day this was not allowed, told viewing could only be done as a couple.
Glad I'm not selling with them!!

I accept almost everything in your reply and appreciate that in your line of business you are dealing with large volumes of messages and instructions which can lead to, at times, misunderstandings and poor communications beyond your control.
However to be told that veiwings were only allowed, in our case, by husband and wife was not a misunderstanding.

People of Google, go to Hillier & Wilson, they were WAY better than any of the other estate agents we dealt with. Their Christmas window display is also excellent, not directly relevant I appreciate but it all helps and a pleasant touch of humanity that is a theme running throughout.
I genuinely did not understand what an estate agent did until I met Lorraine. I've have long assumed I was wrong that an entire industry could be a waste of time having never met an estate agent who could convince me otherwise. But Lorraine not only sorted out our sale (after a failed attempt with Purple Bricks), she also handled negotiations on our purchase, advised us through a pile of (potentially big) problems and organised half the chain we were in. I have rarely seen money so well spent on professional services and I have completely reversed my view of estate agenting as a profession - albeit most of them still appear to be...well, less good so there is clearly significant value in appointing the right agent.
My concern was always paying out on fees and nothing more than a rubber stamping exercise happening (a bit cynical but it does appear to be a general problem in many industries these days), but with Lorraine there is no question that you are paying an expert who knows what she's doing and will look after you very well. So you should go there, it's a much better idea than the others.... Read more
