Smart Homes were extremely professional and helped ensure there was effective communication between ourselves and the seller. Whenever we had any questions, Sue and Gemma were always quick to answer and helped make the buying process smoother. When viewing the property, the team were friendly, welcoming, and willing to answer our questions, which made us feel at ease. Overall, very impressed with Smart Homes and the way in which they approach property. I would definitely recommend to others.

Excellent service provided by the team at Smart Homes. Once we put the offer in we had weekly calls from our sales progresser, Helen, which were invaluable. She kept us fully up to date with everything that was happening either side of our chain and often knew what was going on before anybody (solicitors, etc). The service was warm and friendly and ever we had a question or issue it was dealt with promptly.

I have worked in estate agents over 35 years but the experience of all members of staff at Smart Homes went above and beyond expectations from start to finish.
However, there were 50 stars given I would certainly tick them all.
Helen in progression was 'outstanding', nothing was too much trouble her she did go above and beyond what most progression teams do prior to exchange of contracts.
If I move again, I would not use any other agent.
Thank you to all of you and especially Helen as my sale was extremely difficult.

Excellent service from start to finish, after tweaking the sale particulars before going 'live'. The viewings were all done us by Smarts and it didn't take long to get offers through. Smarts were good with their advice on the status of our potential buyers and we secured a good result. The REAL work started after agreeing the sale, as it was fraught with difficulties and complications. This is where Smart Homes in Shirley came into their own, as the office manager, Helen Cole, worked like a Trojan in chasing up and keeping us informed and advised on both the sale of our house (Cole Green) and purchase (mid Devon). If I ran a business, I'd try to pinch her!

Helen provided exceptional support on a tricky and lengthy sale of a leasehold property. She worked proactively to find solutions to all the blockages we came up against and communicated clearly and promptly through the process. The final outcome was that buyer and seller ended up in a good place. It was a pleasure working with her. I would have no hesitation to recommend Helen and Smart Homes, particularly for the sale of Leasehold property where there may be difficulties getting the sale over the line.

I couldn't have wished to have gone with a better estate agents to buy and sell. The one thing that stands out the most for me with Smart Homes is their communication. With smart homes I never felt like I was left in the dark about any of the process. Whether it was email or phone call. There was never one question too many and their knowledge or the industry and the area is fantastic. Anyone moving home needs Helen Cole in their corner. Her attention to detail and drive to love things forward is unparalleled.

Dear Smart Homes Team,
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude in providing a great service during the sale of our home and we are happy we chose you to represent us.
A special mention has to go out to Sue Danter, for her excellent cooperation, transparency, and professionalism. Her perseverance throughout the sale progression process was truly commendable. We would also like to thank Gin Kaur for stepping in when Sue was away, who too provided a fantastic, professional service, and really made us feel at ease that she had things under control, to ensure the sale progression continued without any further delays.
Thank You Again Team!

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Complaints Procedure
1. The initial point of contact for all complaints is either Emma Daffurn (sales) or Mark Farebrother (lettings) who can be contacted at the branch. The complainant should be provided with their full name, address and contact details.
2. Even if initially made orally, all complainants should be asked, if at all possible, to submit their own complaint in writing.
3. Emma or Mark will acknowledge any complaint promptly, within 24 hours, with a formal written outcome being submitted to the complainant within 7 working days.
4. If the complainant remains dissatisfied, the complaint will be passed to Jamie Smart (Director) who will conduct a speedy, separate and detached review of the complaint.
5. Following this in-house review, a final written statement including any offer made, will be sent to the complainant.
6. Where this still does not satisfy the customer, this becomes the “Deadlock Letter” and will be accompanied by details of how the matter can be referred to The Property Ombudsman (TPO), Milford House, 43-55 Milford Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 2BP. Tel: 01722 333306
7. Customers may be given a copy of this in-house procedure.
