        <description>Seymours estate agents opened for business in Ripley, Surrey as an independent estate agency in January 1992 growing into a network of branches located within and specialising in the West Surrey area. We now have estate agents offices based in Ripley, Guildford, Burpham, Woking and West Byfleet dealing with properties for sale and one specialist letting & management operation dealing with lettings and financial services also established in Guildford.</description><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Everything started well.  The sales person I dealt with was extremely helpful, and although I had to phone again to chase the address details for several viewings (emails they promised to send never turned up), we selected a property which we liked.  Once we had paid the initial holding deposit everything went downhill.  We were contacted by an admin assistant who frankly did not have a clue what was going on.  

Through every step we had to do the chasing, no one clearly looked at the file until 24 hours before the arranged contract signing as a problem suddenly arose.  They were of little help, I had to chase the correct paperwork myself throughout the experience,  I was given false information, lied to, and had to call several times to actually get someone to call me back.  There was no personal service, i actually dealt with 9 different people in one office, none of which seemed to know what any one else was doing.  

At a pre-arranged meeting with the landlord we were sat on the adjacent table whilst the agent was clearly talking to the landlord about us, whilst we were ignored, which I found to be extremely rude and unprofessional.  Several parts of the contract were wrong and had to be rewritten by the agent, but we had to wait, because the person that does that wasn't available.  

There was no  proper check-in arranged, I was just told to come to the office to collect the keys, when I did they seemed to be not aware that I was coming in, and seemed quite put out that I had interrupted their morning meeting.

To summarise, they seemed quick to secure a holding deposit and after that they dont seem to care.  They have no customer service skills at all and at times treat their customers with contempt!  I would definitely recommend to give them a big miss.<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I both sold and bought a property through Seymours Worplesdon at the beginning of the year. I must say they handled both sides of the transaction prolifically and efficiently. I have bought and sold a number of properties and never have such a smooth time of it. I was always one to feel that estate agents were a horrible selection of people like bankers, but after dealing with Max, Simon &amp; Joss I realized I couldn't of been more wrong. I would like to say THANK YOU and wish all the best to the guys at Seymours Worplesdon.<br />This person would use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the misfortune to contact Seymours in West Byfleet as a property we were interested in was on the market with them. Having now received 7 phone calls from them over the last 2 days I wish I'd never got in touch at all. Tom at  the Addlestone branch followed us around like a puppy on the viewing, his only concern appeared to be getting my details to value our property, despite my saying we weren't ready to put it on the market yet. I've now had 3 more calls asking the same thing. They're far too aggressive and their stalking nature has completely put me off dealing with them, whether as a vendor or purchaser.<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Seymours looked after the top of our chain, a small chain that consisted of 2 properties, our buyer’s property sold through Seymours and our property sold through Richmonds. Once my wife and I had finally found the property that we wanted (a difficult task due to an extensive wish list) we were one of two interested parties. Despite having the higher offer the vendor needed to move quickly so instructed her estate agents (Ashwells) to check out how solid our chain was... this was supposed to be a formality given the short chain and having been under offer for 2 months. 

Enter Vince Nigrelli - A senior partner at Seymours whose arrogance and nonchalant attitude frustrated Richmonds, myself and more importantly Ashwells who had little joy getting much re-assurance from Vince who refused to return calls and spend any time imbuing confidence. Vince’s performance was so poor that Ashwells expressed deep concern about Vince and felt that he was reason enough to suspect problems with a quick completion.

In an attempt to rescue what was a dying bid to win the property I contacted Vince with this feedback hoping to encourage him to contact Ashwells to reassure them that the top of the chain was solid and could move quickly. He claimed that he had returned calls and spoken to Ashwells (and Richmonds who I also asked to find out information) when I told him that they hadn’t heard from him he hung up on me. I later discovered that he spoke with our buyers and told them I called him a liar and a cheat... ironically proving this false claim to be true!

Don’t sell your properties through Seymours as they clearly spend no time researching their buyers as Vince... a SENIOR partner...  was unable to confirm that our buyers purchaser had a mortgage offer,  12/14 weeks after putting our buyer’s property under offer!!!! This and his un-professional conduct ultimately cost us the house we wanted.

If you live in Byfleet or West Byfleet,  I suggest that you use Richmonds who I have found to be really open and professional and who Ashwells described as “superb” and &quot;really helpful&quot;.<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Bad experience with these people - do avoid them at all costs.  I only marked one star because the system would not work if I gave no stars - they don't deserve a single one!<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[They are friendly and dedicated at the beginning but once they have your &quot;holding deposit&quot; they are no longer helpful and when they want something, they turn into aggressive bullies (demanding things that they have no right to even ask for).  Stay clear.<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[They sent private emails between us printed them off and showed the person selling the house, in my view this is illegal anyway if not just out of order, there own signiture states that the email is for the recipient only so should not have been showed to the seller and as a result lost us negotiations and the house.<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Seriously... steer well clear.  Exceptionally shady and known amongst other agents as having more deposits go to arbitration than most I would recommend avoiding with all my heart, currently fighting for a 2k deposit having not been legally served the correct amount of notice and therefore not enough time to save money and move!  Save yourself bankruptcy and if you must go with them because you fall in love with a house like we did, get house insurance with full legal cover!!!<br />This person would not use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Whilst they did not get the asking price for my flat, the price was not far off and there is a lack of buyers about. The staff were very friendly and proffessional, feedback next day on viewings. Compared to other Agents the sales brochures/internet sales site was excellent with all inside and outside pictures done well and all relevant information on the Flat such as lease and charges. I even knocked them down 1.25% commission. I would use them again.<br />This person would use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[We worked with Seymours when we searched for a house. We ended up buying from another agent, but Seymours left very good impressions - they were very good in keeping us informed about available properties and flexible in organizing viewings. <br />This person would use Seymours Estate Agents again.]]></description></item>
