Kirsty and her whole team at Symonds & Sampson Ilminster were brilliant when it came to selling our large victorian house at auction. They were extremely knowledgable, professional and helped us every step of the way. A special mention to Steve, who did a fantastic job with all the viewings. We can highly recommend them. We have also used Symonds & Sampson at Yeovil and have found them to be just as professional.... Read more

An absolutely amazing team that go the extra mile to help you through the house selling experience. We were having to sell the property from a distance and relied on Julie, Jonathan and the rest of the staff to do so much for us. We're now looking and hoping the right property comes up with them as I'm sure our buying experience would be just as perfect.... Read more

If you are looking for an estate agent look no further! This team really do care about the job they do. They are kind, efficient, pro active and organised . The whole service from start to finish I couldn’t fault it. Johnathon in the early stages dealt with things great and he was friendly! Special mention to Georgie: she is on the ball and always one step ahead giving feed back straight after viewings and keeping you informed with the progression of the sale every step of the way. If you have a question all the team are so helpful and just see to know what is going on, my sale was so quick down to these guys! Thankyou ..!... Read more

Fantastic service from the whole team from start to finish. They gave clear and easy to understand explanation of how they had valued my property with lots of comparison examples. Sadly I had two sales fall through due to buyers changing their minds - the ilminster team, however, acted extremely efficiently and worked hard to get it sold again. I was kept extremely well informed all the way through. The sales progression process was the best I have ever seen. I’m not going to mention individual names as I feel each and every person at the ilminster office does an amazing job. Will definitely use again ????... Read more

1/5 Stars
Totally unacceptable behaviour from this estate agent who continue to repeatedly list a property that the vendor has not sold despite an agreed offer being in place for two and a half years at least. This property has been on the market at least three years and has had a agreed offer twice but the vendor is incapable of finding a property in all that time. This has left a purchaser out of pocket to the tune of £50K. The vendor even asked for more money as the market moved on. If estate agents wonder why they have such a bad reputation, look no further than the morally indefensible behaviour here. They care not one bit for integrity but just want the commission money. This particular vendor should be barred, but Symonds and Sampson allow it to continue.... Read more

Absolutely fantastic agents. Kirsty came out and was so helpful advising on whether we should make certain improvements to the house before selling and how much to put it on for - we were totally clueless. Molly was lovely and always answered my questions quickly. The photos and listing for the house were exactly what we were hoping for and we quickly had an offer we accepted. Everything was very smooth with the sale and they kept us updated at every point. I would highly recommend them, especially if you have an older character property.... Read more

Always responded to email requests immediately. Chased up seller's solicitor to speed the process up and were very accommodating for me to collect the keys.

The sale of my family house was long and very complex, with many unexpected and sad turns. However Georgie and the Ilminster team contacted me by overseas phone calls and emails , keeping me informed of progress at every stage. Even though this sale took a long time and was possibly the most difficult theyve had to deal with . We finally completed after a stressful final week. I have the highest praise for the professional handling of the whole process. I would not hesitate to reccomend Symonds and Sampson Ilminster to handle house sales or any house purchases .

This is one of those rare times I wish I could somehow rate this review 10 stars out of 5. My partner and I have both recently sold our houses and then spent several months working with real estate agents to try and find a potential new home. So, you can imagine how many agents we have dealt with in this time (probably pushing on 25). Obviously, you would expect some ranging levels of customer service and perhaps competency when dealing with so many agents. However, it’s not until you meet someone so knowledgeable, respectful and who obviously has a love for property in general that you realise you are dealing with a true professional. Not to mention someone who has done their homework on the property in question, do you realise that this branch of Symonds and Sampson’s is in a league of their own. I say the ‘branch’ as we initially dealt with Rebecca, then Molly and then Georgie and the transition and professionalism were seamless between them all. This is very rare in my experience and is testament to the training and possible recruitment policy of S&S. Friendly, knowledgeable, professional and thought provoking - Highly recommended ????...

We received excellent service from Symonds and Sampson (Ilminster) when selling my mother's house, from the moment Tim Bennett arrived to value the property right through to the completion of the sale which happened this morning. Everyone in the office was unfailingly helpful and courteous, and Georgie's cheerful demeanour and positive attitude kept us going even at the most difficult moments -- and inevitably there were difficult moments, given that we were dealing with a chain of transactions over which we had no control. But the S and S team kept us regularly informed and were always available to answer queries; they could not have been more helpful.... Read more

I have just purchased a property through Simmons and Sampson, Ilminster. What should have been a simple transaction turned out to be quite complex and Tim, Georgie and Melissa really rose to the challenges. Without their conscientious coordination of all interested parties I'm pretty sure that my purchase would have been delayed for months and months. Goodness me! They worked hard on this sale.

We have just exchanged contracts having purchased through Symonds & Sampson Ilminster. From start to finish their service has been exceptional, indeed they were the last link in the top end of the chain and were the conscience of the whole chain, clearing blockers and ensuring we were all kept informed. Whilst the whole of the team have been friendly, relaxed but professional our prime contact throughout has been Georgie Wakinshaw, extremely experienced and always a good ear to bounce any queries or questions off of. As always selling and buying is a stressful time for all concerned but Georgie and her colleagues managed to minimise any stress points.
