I am in the process of selling a house through Sparks Ellison , I find them arrogant , conceipted, not prepared to listen to any other opinion than their own. Was extremely rude to my wife yesterday when looking for a property.
I even suspect unrest amongst their own staff.
If they were the only estate agent left , I would buy a tent!

Hi Can I please ask if the inventory was carried out by Hampshire Inventory Services? I have recently vacated a property from Sparks Ellison and they used the same company for the check out report as they did to do the cleaning which is a massive conflict of interest. I’m going through the process of disputing it through tds but this company shouldn’t be able to keep causing this much stress to tenants! ...

Comment on agent fees
Probably about the same as any other agent in the area. Although they charge an admin fee to extend your contract at the beginning of your tenancy without knowing if you are going to want to continue it or not! They don't refund this either, even if you don't extend your lease.

But if you haven't yet sold your own house, you're not in a position to buy. When I sold my house, I specifically asked Sparks Ellison not to arrange any viewings for buyers who were not in a position to proceed. I only had two viewings and both wanted to buy. As a result of this policy, I was saved a lot of hassle. ...
