My parents made the decision to sell our family home of 40 years and after being recommended we instructed Gina Simpson from Strutt & Parker to orchestrate the sale.
Gina has been outstanding from start to finish. It is very hard to find an estate agent that actually fulfils their duties but Gina exceeded all of our expectations and has been so professional whilst applying personal touches to her service.
My parents are thrilled and we cannot thank Gina enough and will definitely recommend Her services to friends and family.... Read more

Gina was a pleasure to work with, the sale of our property became a real partnership. She was friendly and professional throughout the whole process and was very well informed about our property. She was 100% committed to selling our house and never gave up. We would absolutely recommend her to any family of friends.... Read more

I thought carefully about writing this review as normally I wouldn't take the time to do such a thing. But I really thought that this S&P office in St Albans were very unprofessional and lacked any customer service. However, I must say there was a Secretary who I spoke to who was lovely. Just to give some context, I responded to an ad for a 2 bed property. I received no response therefore emailed the agent directly. Again, no response. So i emailed again. Finally after 4 days, the agent called. I am a nurse so they left a message asking me to contact them. I'm a nurse so was unable to call until that evening, so I text the agent asking to view. Again, no response. I text 3 times that day, no response. I called around 5.30 that evening and left a voicemail. The next day, I again received no response to which I text again stating i'd email, text, and called and no response so was there someone else I should speak with. At this point the agent called me back early that afternoon. We arrange to view the property on Monday. When I attended, the usual show around was done and I advised I'd be putting in an offer. I advised, I needed to move quickly, and would appreciate him letting me know asap. He said as soon as he got in his car he would email me the details. This was mid-afternoon. It was only later in the evening that I received the email asking three things - offer, job title, who'd be living there, and moving date. Which I completed immediately. To this day - I never received an acknowledgement of that email or a response. In fact, despite sending him again a couple of further emails asking him to response he did not. We led to me contacting the office, then a colleague 3 days later. She advised me that the landlord had accepted another offer, which was now going through referencing. She said that she would speak to the said graduate agent. Following this, you'd of thought you'd have received and apology from him BUT nothing.
Whilst I appreciate people are busy, but given the current situation in the world, how difficult it is moving home customer service and kindness is key. If you cannot provide a good service to the number of people you invite in, invite less and instead do a good job.... Read more

Gina has been a superstar, without her intervention my house probably wouldn't have sold. It hasn't been easy, what with Brexit and Covid but she stayed in constant contact with me at all times and I would highly recommend you use her to sell your house. She is extremely professional and a credit to her company.... Read more

Strutt & Parker did a great job selling our property. We no longer lived in the area and so relied on them not only for their local knowledge, but to be at the property for contractors, surveyors or just to check on it. They provided a very personalised service which was beyond their regular scope.... Read more

I moved into my beautiful 450 year old cottage last month and thanks to Gina the process of buying my future home was a very happy one. Although the process ended up taking nearly 15 months the friendly, professional, honest and calm nature of Gina made the whole process stress free.
Gina kept in constant contact with both me and the lovely couple I bought the cottage from. This meant everyone was well informed and, although the chain was broken a couple of times due to problems with my buyers, Gina created a good level of trust with all parties which kept us on track!
Gina was quick to respond to any queries or worries I had throughout the process and her bubbly friendly personality made her a pleasure to deal with.
I would recommend using Strutt & Parker to anyone.... Read more

Gina Simpson
We can sumarise Gina’s support for us in terms of selling our house in one word – superb!
We decided to interview three estate agents before putting our home of 44 years on the market. We used the ‘Which’ guide to interviewing agents as a basis.
Gina came out ‘head and shoulders’ above the opposition. She was, and has remained throughout this long transaction period, polite, courteous, professional, knowledgeable, personable and consistent. She has a good sense of fun which goes a long way to relieving the pressures that moving to a new house can create. She also suggested, and achieved, a sale price of £25k above the opposition’s suggestion, which was helpful, but not by any means the most important factor.
It took one visit on day one of entering the market for Gina to secure our buyer…. and 14 months for the house to sell. Gina remained in touch throughout those 14 months, phoning us regularly on the same day each week to update us. We can only praise her professionalism!
Now the deal is done, and we can reflect on the process. We know we made the right choice in choosing Strutt and we know we made the right choice in choosing Gina as your representative to carry through the process. She is a great agent and a fantastic representative of your sales department.
As we said at the beginning – superb!
Many thanks to all the team too, particularly Daryl-Lee.
Only one thing to add, we are still looking for a home in the Wendover/ Chinnor area and would appreciate some help from Strutt to achieve this. We are registered with the Pangbourne office but have only received one brochure through in the last 14 months. Let us hope your office can find us something soon.
Best wishes to Gina and the team... Read more

I've looked at several houses in St Albans and registered with 6 different Estate Agents. Out of all of the Agents we've used Strutt & Parker are the by far the worst! I would not recommend buying or selling a property with this company!
The agent we used turned up late to our viewing and could not answer any of our queries. They even failed to get back to us with answer to our questions, despite promising that they would.
We eventually decided to put an offer in on a house, but after a week they still did not let us know whether it had been accepted or rejected! Absolutely appalling service, I really would not recommend using this agent!
They always extremely friendly, very professional and respond to all queries immediately. The agents showing us around the houses are extremely knowledgeable and come prepared with notes to answer any questions that you have. The houses are also priced sensibly compared to other agents.... Read more

Simple phone call to enquire about a rental property in the area. Was met with such dead pan, zero options, definitely no charm. It's rare I feel so disappointed that I write a negative review. However, after speaking to quite a few agents in the area & being treated so well, I didn't think it's fair for this person to speak to me the way she did. As if I were interrupting her day by calling wanting to SPEND MONEY. Shame.... Read more

Just exchanged on the sale of my house today. The service I received from Strutt and Parker has been first class. They may be more expensive than most but worth every penny in my view. I would particularly like to thank Gina for her calm professionalism throughout the whole sale process but particularly the last few days in getting everything finalised. She has been supportive and helpful throughout.... Read more

My house was on the market with another agent for over a year with no significant interest, but as soon as Gina Simpson, from Strutt and Parker, came along things changed. Her enthusiasm and dedication soon brought the right kind of people through the door and an offer was made within a short period. Gina’s knowledge of the market and personal approach secured an agreed price to suit both parties. Well done Gina and thanks for your continued interest and support.

Our experience with Strutt & Parker has been a universally positive one through both the viewing and sale periods. We changed from another agency to S & P after our home was on the market for 6 months without an offer. S & P had it under offer within one month. The viewing experience was also night and day compared to the other agency. S & P showed the height of professionalism and we had complete confidence in the people doing the viewings highlighting the positive points of our property in the way we wanted. The post agreement period was also expertly navigated through to exchange of contracts. We would have no hesitation in recommending Strutt & Parker and we would not use any other agent for a future sale.... Read more
