Comments on Agent Fees
1.2% for the High Street service seemed acceptable and I believe that the estate agents earned their fee.
I decided to sell a property in Hook which I had been letting for several years. With notice duly served on the tennant, I approached Carsons Estate Agents in Hook, through whom I had bought the house several years earlier, to market the property.
I found James Clare to be most professional in all aspects of the sale; he found an investment buyer within a very short timescale, his communication skills were excellent, he was polite and helpful in all situations and the sale was effected very smoothly and quickly once the tennant had vacated the property. Julia Van-Oostrum was also very professional and extremely helpful in resolving last-minute problems with viewings and providing recommendations for local house clearance companies.

From the first consultation to the final sale, the team from Carson & Co were prepared, professional, thorough and a delight to engage with. We shopped around, and Gavin and his team were a cut above the rest. With researched insights, carefully crafted recommendations and total professionalism in all details, we were happy to leave Gavin and the team to present our home to the market. We came close to setting the new benchmark in our area several times, thanks to Julia's efforts in showcasing our home. Several interested parties nibbled, but then Julia found the perfect buyer - and now we are moved!
I have no hesitation in recommending Gavin and the team at Carson & Co to anyone selling or buying a property. They will find a committed, professional and human team to help them. And a team that succeeds!

The purchase was relatively straight forward as there was a very small chain. I had to sell to buy but the property I was buying was chain free. Carsons in Hook were proactive in chasing and keeping me informed without being too pushy as some estate agents can be trying to make their commissions before certain deadlines. Available when needed, returned calls within reasonable time and friendly. We were very lucky though, we had a rather stress free purchase and move.

James has been utterly professional throughout my house buying experience. From the first viewing he was open and honest and answering emails immediately. He acted as a liaison between myself and the sellers but was totally unbiased. I was particularly impressed he returned to the cottage to show me how to use the loft ladders after I had completed the purchase. Fantastic service and I would highly recommend Carson and Co based on my experience.

My wife and I were 2nd in line for a house that we had our heart set on. Fortunately a month later it came back onto the market and Carsons were true to their promise a called immediately to inform us. Needless to say we are now extremely happy with our new home in Hook.
During the purchase process it appeared that our solicitors were struggling to cope with their work load, which affected their usual high standards. Carsons did a great job in becoming our sales progress-or and informing us of the our purchasing developments.

We had valuations from 2 agents in the village, and Gavin was by far the most personable and seemed genuinely interested in our "home" and he had very good local knowledge. He was well prepared and presented us with recent case studies, and then discussed the ranges of asking price we could get. We went with the top end, and although there were 5 or 6 viewings in the first fortnight, there were no offers. We had found a new build property we were desperate to buy, so after a chat with Gavin, and on his advice, we dropped to the mid range and it sold for that within a few days! James dealt with the day to day progress and in general we were very happy with him too. As always seems to be the case when you move, there were several unforeseen delays, but we were kept abreast of developments, and on the day we were due to exchange when there was a last minute desire by the end of the chain to push the completion date back by a few weeks (which would have meant us losing our purchase!), it was handled very well by James and within an hour we were back on track and exchanged.

I did my homework first of the Hook prices between all the real estate agents selling in Hook. I prepared a report and submitted to Gavin the manager. I then met with Gavin after he had read my report to understand if I and Carson's were on the same page in taking forward the sale of my property. We mirrored each others views. The fact I was affored the time by Gavin to discuss this journey of mine assured me I would have nothing but integrity and ethics from Carsons with that personal touch. It wasnt only the relationship I had with Gavin but also with James Fletcher. Both such professionals, such a delight to work with, so beautifully and impeccably mannered, rare in real estate agents today. I was made to feel that my journey in selling my home was paramount and they were there to enhance the process in anyway. Also the rest of the staf in the Hook office when Gavin and James werent in, were equally attentive, who too were so lovely. There were twists and turns in selling my home and in the this process I never for one moment felt discarded by Crason, rushed, anger,disappointed that they lose out on a sale. They were solid and genuine letting me go through my due process. For all of the above and many more reasons I cannot speak highly enough of the Hook office. The true qualities of a company are in their employees and what genuine group of people work in the Hook office.

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.
