After some seriously sketchy solicitor work, and putting an offer in 5 months ago, finally picked up the keys yesterday. A few months back I contacted Pearsons to help me chase (basically everyone about everything). I was dealing with Claire Houghton and she's been nothing but superbly diligent from start to finish. It felt almost like she was moving in! She was passionate and helpful, very responsive to all emails. She even emailed me a response at 11pm one night. If that doesn't deserve a bonus/raise for customer service I dont know what does!
Thanks

We decided to go with Pearsons for our house sale based mainly on how professional they'd been when we were looking for our next home. Jeremy was patient and had great local knowledge - he was the steadying hand we needed at times! The whole sales team were brilliant and kept us up to date with all aspects of our sale - selling a house is something we hadn't done for more than 20 years so it was lovely to be able to ask anything we wanted and to receive a prompt and professional call or email back. Once we'd accepted an offer it was great to have Claire as our single point of contact, this made it possible to liaise with our buyers through Claire without the complication of explaining what was going on to another person each time. Claire helped push the sale through by letting us know what our buyers solicitor was dealing with and letting us know what was going on with our buyers.
Our sale had some minor complications and Claire was a reassuring person to help steady the ship - we're very pleased with this particular aspect of the sale. I still think using an estate agent is a great idea in 2024 - we'd have been much more stressed if it wasn't for the team at Parsons, thank you!... Read more

Me and my wife were really impressed with the helpfulness and positive attitude of the lettings team, Lizzi Kenyon and Sarah Collins. Two viewings (one at 5.30 pm, one at 2 pm on a Saturday) were arranged around our work schedule. They kept us updated at every stage of the referencing process and we're prompt to reply to emails. This review is written from the perspective of a tenant : in this instance Pearson's were acting as an introductory agency, and from my point of view did an excellent job for their client....

Exceptional Lettings service was provided by Lizzi Kenyon during January & February this year, regarding the Letting of my Property in Knowle. Her attention to detail; promptness in communicating with us; & her finding us tenants quickly, were all exceptional traits. As a Company, you are very fortunate to have such a diligent & dedicated member of your team. Nothing was too much trouble throughout the Process, for which we are extremely grateful. I bought the property through Pearsons 6 years ago. Together with that experience; & Lizzi’s & her colleagues’ application to the matter in hand, has meant I shall definitely recommend your Company, hopefully using your Services again in the future....

Once again your team have been outstanding and are a credit to you. Anne has held on and "made it happen".
One viewing, one sale and lot's of toing and froing in between. Anne has been exceptional considering I had the lovely Claire last time. Well done to you all.
Especially in this tough climate
When we were looking to sell there was only one company that we were going use.

From the initial introduction visit through to the handover of keys, everything with Pearsons felt very personal. Sound advice on all aspects of the process was offered throughout, including the very difficult decision to “split” our chain in order to ensure we retained our buyers. Regular progress updates on how the move was proceeding were provided by the team which in turn gave us the confidence that we were fully informed of all that was happening.
Specific praise for Anne from the Sales Progression team is fully deserved, her professionalism, honesty and tenacity helped us through this stressful period of time.

Agents declined showing to my son who is a student with guaranteed income but would not accept his academic financial award letter as proof of income for a £1250 rental when we have been paying £1700 per month without issue for the last 3 years (academic monies are guaranteed vs unreliable employment income when people get laid off at the drop of a hat + businesses shut down more and more these days). They wouldn't even consider pursuing our interest with a UK guarantor. Needless to say, a horrible experience. Thanks for nothing.... Read more

Cannot speak highly enough of our experiences of working with Claire at this branch in what was an extremely difficult and very protracted purchase. Claire was the pinnacle of professionalism, empathy and boundless patience in what was an extremely complicated and ever changing chain. Claire worked hard to ensure that everyone in the chain knew exactly what was happening - it wasn't her responsibility to do this but she coordinated everything so that people at every level of the chain could coordinate. If only our solicitors had been so organised and efficient! I firmly believe that had she not been involved the entire chain would have collapsed multiple times.
I never want to go through the process of moving again, but if I were to do so I would go to Claire specifically because I trust wholeheartedly that she would ensure as smooth a process as possible.
She has the patience of a saint - and was the one person I trusted throughout the entire process to not dissemble, misinform or ignore our requests.... Read more

Pearsons have been managing our property in Fareham for us since 2018 when we moved to another country. We have not had to worry about the house during this time due to the wonderful service Liz and her team provide. They have marketed the property for us twice and found suitable tenants quickly. They have also overseen the purchase and delivery of kitchen appliances, as well as finding contractors for various work projects, both large and small. They conduct regular property checks to ensure all is well. Communication with ourselves and the tenants is prompt and efficient.

Never reply in good time, never communicate with other people in their own office, don't communicate to the landlord, very unprofessional when they do reply. If I provided the level of service at my job that these people do, I would be sacked and with good reason.

It is with great shame I'm having to write this review. My wife and I booked a viewing with them and we were told we could arrive early if we wanted to, which we did. The door was open but no one came out, however, could hear someone talking inside and when I shouted through the open front door, a gentleman popped his head around whilst on the phone and indicated he will be a couple of minutes. We waited for 15 minutes and then decided we were not going to wait any longer to view the property out of principle and disrespect which we felt was shown to us. Whilst driving away, which he could see, he ended the call and came out to commence the viewing, which we declined.
What worried me was that the vendors front door was left open and we could hear everything the estate agent was saying on the phone. If I was the vendor, I wouldn't have been too pleased to have my front door open to the world for over 15 minutes. Also, the estate agent didn't have any respect for the privacy of the person on the other end of the phone - this is worrying, especially if they are discussing personal details.
There was no respect or courtesy shown and it is not something people should accept. Granted, the viewing was booked for 2.30, but why phone to say we could turn up early if the estate agent wasn't in a position to show us around?
Customer service training is needed for the gentleman who showed us around and also data protection and protecting client privacy issues need to be addressed.
One of the worst customer service experience from an estate agent I have ever received. It is my belief a great disservice was done to the vendor of this property by the agents instructed to sell on their behalf.... Read more

In fact I was stunned to read two negative reviews - they could not have been real customers surely?
