Simmons & Sons, Henley-on-Thames

Excellent service, communication and speed. Thank you for making our house move run smoothly. Lucy Felton

Selling a house as an executor is not an easy process in particular as we live over 100 miles away. Simmons & Sons were professional right from the initial meeting to help us with a probate valuation and we were pleased to place the house on the market with them. It was well photographed and marketed and generated a great amount of interest. However the sale then proved far from straightforward due to the existence of an unregistered track next to the very old property. Katherine at the Henley office was an absolute star throughout a process that lasted 8 months and involved protracted complex discussions between solicitors, surveyors, ourselves and potential purchasers. Eventually after the initial purchasers dropped out we agreed a way forward with Katherine and our solicitor and the sale eventually completed. In view of the distance involved everything was dealt with over the phone and by email. In the nicest possible way I'm glad that I no longer need to have Katherine on speed dial! Without a doubt she is the most professional estate agent I've dealt with through many house sales and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Henley branch of Simmons and Sons. Jill

The team at Simmons & Sons know that selling a house isn't simply a transaction; it is also the time when sellers and buyers pursue a new life. Simmons offer all the support you need to get and keep things running smoothly. Katharine and Andrew inspire confidence committing the time and interest to learn about the people and their needs as well as the properties. They know the market through and through, give well considered and honest advice, helping you to make the necessary steps to get you on your way. The viewings are the easy bit before negotiations occur and then the challenges of chains and solicitors set in - Simmons were excellent at every stage. Tom

Katharine Yes, excellent -thanks again for your persistence and patience !! Regards Stephen

With my thanks for all your help and support over the last few months. Best Wishes. Maureen Wicks

Katharine provided the most excellent service throughout. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her

Selling our home was not easy, aside from all the normal issues of agreeing a price, getting great photos taken and de-cluttering we faced the extra challenge that the house was unique, quite unlike anything else around in the market and so we were looking for a very particular purchaser, one with a little vision and an understanding of the benefits of good architecture. Simmons & Sons were our 4th agent, the three prior agents had failed to get a single viewing and seemed oblivious to the way Rightmove and Zoopla direct people's searches. The first important impact from Simmons & Sons was to provide us with a rational valuation, how we compared to other properties on the market, local knowledge was critical to this and a clear and rational explanation was persuasive. Throughout the process Simmons & Sons were, professional, diligent and courteous, worked with great persistence to improve the outcome from all interest shown, managing our and our purchasers expectations and helping us to secure the sale. Aside from thanking them I would have no hesitation in recommending the team in Henley. Mr M Forrest

Hi Katherine, Following the successful sale of Bluebell Cottage and purchase of Neals Farm Cottages, we would just like to thank Simmons & Sons for acting as our agents through the process. We were very happy with our choice of company and would use you again. Regards Rich

From start to finish of our purchase Katharine of the Henley branch could not have assisted us any more professionally and courteously. While ensuring their client (the seller) got the best deal possible we were at the same time dealt with fairly and honestly. Even after our offer was accepted Katharine made time without hesitation to show us back round the property to allow us to refresh our memory and at no point were we ever made to feel a nuisance. Even towards the end with completion near and just before Christmas when things got a bit stressful Katharine continued to act in a professional and calm manner the whole time updating us when necessary and did not put any unnecessary / unreasonable pressure on us as buyers. Having been in contact with numerous estate agents in the Henley area, we were very pleased with how Simmons and Sons conducted themselves and happy to recommend them. We will return to them without hesitation when we require their services. Thank you Katharine and team. Mr & Mrs Lakin

Having had a very positive house purchase experience with Simmons and Sons a few years before, it was the obvious choice for our sale. Katharine and Andy provided a very personal, attentive and energised approach from start to finish; nothing was too much trouble. Communication was outstanding and it was entirely through their ongoing support that the sale went so successfully. We cannot recommend highly enough! Adam & Nicola
