Symonds & Sampson, Bridport

I haven't hesitated in engaging or recommending the services of Symonds & Sampson, Bridport since Steve Allen helped me to sell my mother's bungalow 7 years ago. The service was sensitive at that difficult time, but thorough and swift. Since then, my main point of contact has been Daniel Magee, who maintained and built on this level of confidence in a friendly and professional way where nothing was too much trouble. More recently, Isobella Rumsby has seamlessly continued with this great service.

Having used Symonds & Sampson before, it was an easy choice as to whom to use and once again they have delivered. Daniel Magee was our first point of contact and we found him extremely friendly, helpful and very professional. He was ably assisted by the whole team but Steve Allen proved incredibly knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The whole team worked amazingly hard to get a good result and we would not hesitate to use, or recommend them, in the future.

Symonds & Sampson have sold my 3 homes over the last 27 years, always speedily and with great professionalism. Steve Allen of the Bridport branch has been my estate agent for my most recent sale. On the day my home went on the market, 2 couples booked viewings and one of those purchased my property. Steve has handled my sale with the highest level of professionalism, integrity and intelligence. The whole team have been exemplary with their client relations.

Daniel & Isobella at the Bridport branch looked after me very well in buying my home and then in the sale a couple of years later. Being on both sides of purchase & sale, neither process was too stressful. When the solicitors failed to help with questions, they always managed to come through with answers. Very good experience and would recommend to anyone in the area.

In a particularly difficult market the team at Symonds & Sampson, led by Steve Allen and supported by Daniel, Isobella and Tara, helped us sell two properties in the Bridport area. The team always remained positive and provided excellent advice. I would have no hesitation recommending Symonds & Sampson to anyone selling property in the area. Thanks for all your efforts.

I was fortunate to choose Symonds & Sampson to sell a property for which I had LPA. Steve Allen found me buyers who had to wait a considerable time a) for probate and b) whilst other issues were being sorted. He kept both parties fully informed as to progress, assisted hugely with the process with sound and professional advice. He was readily available and a joy to do business with. Thank you. Highly recommended.

Great service from start to finish, mainly dealt with Daniel Magee who had a great understanding of how the market was performing during our marketing process. Achieved sale and a good price in a difficult market. Also a mention to Steve who always stepped in when Daniel was out of the office. Great team. Thanks again.

We sold and bought our houses this year with Symonds & Sampson. I was impressed with the argument Daniel made for using a local estate agent, and the decision was absolutely the right one. Daniel had people in mind who were looking for a property like ours and he was able to secure a sale for us within two weeks of putting it on the market. The service was speedy and efficient, Isobella marketed it beautifully for us and the whole team were helpful and friendly throughout the process.

Steve and Isobella from the Bridport office have been an incredible duo, leading to the successful sale of my property in challenging market conditions. I received regular updates throughout the marketing and conveyancing process and nothing was too much trouble for them. Isobella in particular went above and beyond once the sale was agreed, to make sure administrative issues were dealt with in my absence, due to being remote from the property.

Before selling my home, I engaged with Sam Brown and the Lettings team. Sam gave me invaluable advice, guiding me through the letting process as a total novice. I found a professional and joined up team approach. What I've really appreciated is the coordinated and friendly way the team seem to work together to provide consistency across the whole office, no matter who answers the phone or speaks to you when you drop by. I really like this!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Nicky from Symonds & Sampson when searching for a new place to rent, and I must say, it made the whole moving process a fair bit easier than I'd bargained for. From the off, Nicky was quick off the mark, introducing me to properties that matched my letting requirements. What stood out was how influential she was in the decision process, but never pushy-she gave me proper space and time to think it over, ensuring I was choosing the right place for myself and my family. The wider Symonds & Sampson team were solid too. Communication with the rest of the team was friendly and mostly smooth. The handover of keys and paperwork was handled efficiently. I did notice, now and then, that with the team juggling a heavy workload and the odd bit of job-sharing, some details slipped through the net. That said, the overall experience was still very positive and left me feeling confident about using Symonds & Sampson again when the need arises. All in all, if you're looking for someone who will look after your interests, keep things friendly and straightforward, I'd recommend Nicky and her team. Top job, cheers!
