Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Very professional and helpful..

I’ve directly or indirectly been involved with four purchases and one rental with SW and they’ve always been balanced, professional and helpful. I’ve never experienced negative issues typical of other estate agents and always felt they were acting in the joint interest of the buyer and seller as far as they are able. They’ve been prompt and proactive in answering the many queries I’ve had, putting forward both pros and cons of issues or opportunities. Finally having dealt with many of their people over the last 5 years I’ve found them all to be consistently positive and transparent; clearly a well ingrained culture driven through the organisation. Recommended.

Communication is the key

Communication is the key to a smooth selling experience and we found Emma Bradley to be exemplary. She always got in touch with us: we never had to chase for information.She was frequently
in touch with the buyer and even their solicitor to keep up momentum.

SW really helped us to move quickly in buying our dream home once we found buyers of our own. They worked extremely hard to ensure the process was smooth and nothing outstanding to exchange and complete in record time! Thank you again. Polite, helpful and professional. Andy and Pippa

An excellent experience

An excellent experience. We have just completed on our home in Niton and the Spence Willard team, led by Charles were extremely professional, communicative and helpful in every way. They even sent us videos of the property as we were unable to visit in person initially. They also understood the family dynamics of the seller and us as buyers to manage the whole process smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend-a rare find.

Absolute professionals

We were extremely pleased with Philip and the team at Spence Willard in Cowes who handled the sale of our house. Philip was very knowledgeable about the property market on the Island and also on the local area our house was in. He and the team coupled together absolute professionalism with courtesy and friendliness throughout the whole process. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Fantastic service

My wife and I have recently bought a house in Cowes being sold by Spence Willard. We can’t praise Phillip, Gaynor, Zadie and the rest of the team highly enough.
Throughout the whole process, the communication from them and help they have given us has been outstanding. They replied quickly to all e mails and couldn’t do enough to make sure everything went through on the dates we had planned for.
This is the second positive experience we have had with Spence Willard. A few years ago my wife’s mother passed away. She had been living in a property managed by Spence Willard in Yarmouth.
She has never forgotten the compassion and understanding shown by the staff at Spence Willard, allowing her and her family as much time as they needed in order to sort out their late mother’s affairs.
I really couldn’t recommend Spence Willard highly enough.

I was extremely pleased with the help and advice given by Philip. Nothing was too much trouble for him and always replied to emails very quickly.
As the property I was buying was a newbuild it wasn’t entirely without any hiccups! However we got there in the end and it was all worth waiting for.

Great support from Spence Willard

We've just bought a wonderful property in Ventnor (Isle of Wight) through Spence Willard. Gaynor Owen and Charles Spence were helpful and supportive throughout the process. They kept a complicated purchase on track, communication was excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending Spence Willard to prospect buyers/sellers.
