We had a good experience with Sharman Quinney as first time buyers. Dilan kept us up-to-date with what was happening and even chased solicitors on our behalf - she really went above and beyond!... Read more

I had a fall on 15th March and broke my arm and shoulder in Shelford. The staff came out to help and Dilan took control of the situation, calmed me down and even got me a drink and a sling and took me to the hospital. She managed to make an awful situation bearable. I can't thank her enough . Definitely my angel on that day. Thankyou... Read more

We chose Sharman Quinney to sell our house because we had a good experience with them in the past. However, it seemed like it was a completely different estate agency when we used them this time. During the house showings for our house they were not mentioning the basic information to the potential buyers that any competent estate agent should. They basically never gave us any feedback for any of the unsuccessful viewings unless we badgered them. Eventually, we sold our house only when my husband showed the house himself!
They were also very unresponsive and we had a new agent dealing with our case every other month which meant that we never got any updates or information about what was going on. Even when I called them to ask for an update, they kept assuring me that they will give me regular updates from then on but they never did. The Shelford branch seems to have descended into complete chaos. Please avoid using if you can.
I am sorry but they were a complete waste of money.
We have moved into our new house and sold our old house now and funnily enough I got a call from them today to ask if we had found a new house. They were involved in the whole process so they should have known this already! I do not know what is going on at this branch but I'd not recommend them.... Read more

Please avoid using Sharman Quinney under any circumstances. If I could have given no stars I would have, there is nothing good that can be said about this agency. It's honestly the worst agency I have ever come across and I've been in the industry myself for 14 years now.
They cannot even carry out basic due diligence when advertising a property so be prepared to be misinformed. One property was advertised as both freehold and leasehold, when we phoned to check we were told it was freehold, but it turned out through our solicitor it did have a lease too. They also didn't know the seller was only selling with a limited title not a full one, something that again only came to light through our solicitor six months later, a complete waste of everyone's time that could have been avoided if Sharman Quinney could be bothered to get to know the sellers and the houses they are selling better.
The property we eventually ended up buying was advertised as having allocated off road parking. When we phoned to check this we were told this was definitely correct. Common sense told us this didn't seem right as none of the properties there had parking and the space was no where near the house! It turned out this was not the case at all and there was no parking with the house. It no longer fitted our needs however as this all happen several weeks down the line, and we were due to be made homeless in a matter of weeks, we simple had no choice but to proceed. Sharman Quinney's response to this was 'we take the word of our sellers' so it seems they will believe anything you tell them as a seller, despite the fact common sense should have made any competent agent question the parking situation in this case. Sharman quinney are the only agency I know to get away with not carrying out basic due diligence.
You will never be able to get hold of anyone at the branch, we had to phone another branch on many occasions to get them to contact the Shelford office for us, they don't reply to any phone calls or emails. They have a turn over of staff every few weeks, you are not told when someone is leaving nor introduced to someone new starting. The person starting will also have no clue what's going on with the sale so be prepared to constantly have to repeat yourself. They do not bother giving you any updates or chase a sale for you, complete laziness. They will be sitting on their personal mobile phones everytime you drive past.
When we raised a complaint about their shortfallings and appalling service, we didn't get a single apology. How this agency is still running honestly baffles me, at the very least the Shelford branch should not be allowed to continue practicing.... Read more

My experience with Sharman Quinney has been very positive. Chantal showed me around many properties, was very professional yet friendly and not at all pushy, allowing me to make the right decision. Mortgage consultant Jade was great at showing me a variety of deals, and in the end I chose her original suggestion - she is very wise. Thanks for helping me find a new home.... Read more

Disappointing service when viewing properties, they seemed determined to not show me places ! In order to do a 2nd viewing they were insisting i see their broker despite the fact I already had a decision in principle organised... then 3 months later when property had no offers they called me !
While always polite and friendly I feel it is important to know about the houses you are selling, and knowledge was often lacking... more training required there.
It was often me chasing for a viewing when I saw a property come up for sale online despite asking to be on a mailing list for something suitable.. I was only contacted once the property had no interest or a price reduction...
When i had questions for a vendor they were simply copied and pasted into an email to them and their replies to me.. a bit of phone discussion is necessary sometimes!
Branch manager was attempting to use some very outdated sales techniques, .. honestly people can see through this .. you're better just being real. I actually stopped viewing properties listed with SQ as the service was so bad..
A sister agency called me last week wanting to show me a property.. not sure I agreed to sharing my data with other agents!
Have now purchased through another agent and the difference in service was very clear!... Read more

Jade Burge is an amazing mortgage broker. She responds to emails speedily, has always answered our questions or been there for us whenever we wanted to chat, and has dealt with materials and documents quickly and accurately. We're first-time buyers, with all the ignorance and anxiety which comes with that, but she has always taken the time to explain everything clearly and simply, giving us a good insight into the process and the decisions we we’re making. As well as being highly professional and meeting her legal obligations, it's obvious that Jade genuinely cares about you as a client: she wants you to be informed, comfortable, and, most importantly, to get the very best deal. It's been a real pleasure to interact with her over the past few months. We couldn't reccommend her more highly.... Read more
