From start to finish the sale of my Buckingham flat went as smoothly as ever - never a drama. From the initial valuation by manager Karen Bishop, to the following negotiations through the excellent Amy Trott it was all easy. Amy was attentive and helpful, and communicative. I always knew what stage we were at and if I needed to do anything. A great team at the Towcester branch - thank you all, and especially to Amy and Karen.
All of my dealings with the residential sales team were handled with courtesy and in a timely manner. There were a few times when they went over and above what was necessary. Many thanks to all. I would certainly use them again.
We have recently sold our bungalow with Howkins and Harrison, and have been very impressed with the professional service and support that we have received. We have had several problems to overcome during this sale and they have always been keen to help and solve any problems. Jamie Campbell and David Clarke have been extremely helpful and I would highly recommend dealing with them.
Always great service from the team Frist Class.
These are by far the best letting agents I have ever dealt with. Nothing is a problem and communication is excellent. I’ve been dealing with Nikki Douglas from the Atherstone branch and I can’t recommend their services enough.
I have been a tenant in a property managed by Howkins and Harrison for the past two years. Any work that has needed completing has been done proactively. The inspections are notified well in advance and any routine maintenance is also planned in. It was great to move into a fab, clean and ideal property with new carpets. It has been my first rental that feels like 'home'. As a tenant it is important to have an easy and efficient point of contact and clear communication. It has been a smooth, trouble free and helpful service from my local branch in Daventry.
We've recently been looking for a new home and seen many houses with different agents. Amy from Howkins and Harrison stood out, professional, polite, knowledgable, fast to communicate and customer focused. A pleasure to deal with and we are sorry we didn't buy with Amy, we feel it would have been a smooth process. Thank you Amy, Mark
Very strange behaviour from this company. We viewed a house near Atherstone on Saturday and put an offer in (at asking price) to be told they would come back to us on Monday. Straight after I received an email from the estate agent asking me to leave them a 5 star review on here and that they would get a personal bonus if I did so. I'm certainly not against helping people out where I can but the person really just followed us round the property and didn't actually know much about it. I'm also fairly sure asking specifically for a 5 star review is against policy on nearly all review sites. We heard nothing back on Monday and when I called to chase on Tuesday they told me the property had already been sold on Saturday (the day we viewed) and we should have been told... presumably by them?! When I asked them to put in a higher offer they said they were fairly sure the vendor wouldn't accept now (they had a cash buyer but I assume most sellers would still want to be made aware of other offers) and were more interested in knowing if I was planning on selling my own property. A really disappointing experience all round.
Nikki at Howkins & Harrison is the best letting agent I have had dealings with. He has been very professional and efficient in helping me find the right property for my needs and such a lovely guy to speak to. 5 Gold Stars from me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This company does what it says it will do. Going the extra mile is no problem. Always called back or sent an email. All the staff are very caring and excellent at after service.
My experience with this company has been outstanding so far. The efforts that Lisa Swinnerton has put in to make the dream become a reality for me and my family is above and beyond. Lisa is clearly very good at her job, and very much realist. She has pulled out the stops for someone she's never met by doing her upmost to expidite my application because of my situation and that for me is very admirable and reminds me that there are still good genuine people in this world. Thank you Lisa for your hard work and your kindness when communicating with me, I can't wait to meet you personally when I come to collect the keys.
We had lived in the house we sold for 54 years, having bought it through Howkins & Harrison in 1968. I had no thought other than asking them again to help sell the house. They did not disappoint and have kept up the superb standards of years ago. The whole team worked very hard through ups and downs to get the job done. They were always helpful and I am very grateful to them. I recommend them highly.
We had to contact the Atherstone branch to arrange the retrieval of our passports from one of their rental properties that is unoccupied as they were put through the wrong letterbox by the courier. Nikki very kindly arranged to meet us there to retrieve them, he made a special journey which is very much appreciated as we are about 45 mins from the branch.
Wanted to say a massive thank you to the whole team at Howkins and Harrison for making my house process as smooth as possible. Special thank you to Chris for taking care of the sale process from start to finish.
I have recently sold my fathers house through Howkins and Harrison ( Rugby Branch) . All the way through the process from original marketing to final sale the staff were fantastic . They informed me of viewings , offers etc by txt and email and also gave in depth feedback following viewings. Would highly recommend.
Nikki at the Atherstone branch is extremely helpful, thorough and knowledgeable. He gives his all to ensure any issues are resolved quickly and keeps you up to date with any work that needs completing. Very easy to contact and always friendly, professional and approachable!
Lisa was brilliant! ( Atherstone branch) Friendly and helpful. Always helpful on phone calls, if out of office would respond to messages really quickly. (Even on her day off replied to my message) Made our move easy.
Nikki was absolutely lovely, very friendly and informative. Great customer experience.
Nikki Douglas met us at a property in maxstoke today (Park Cottage) at short notice which we appreciated very much because its our idyllic home. He was very professional and through as well as being a gentleman and had all the answers ready for us.
