Purchasing through Soence Willard

We have just completed the purchase of our new home in Cowes through Spence Willard. All the staff were a pleasure to deal with, friendly and professional. However a very special thanks goes to Emma Bradley. She responded immediately to all emails and followed through with any action required and kept us fully informed at every stage. A genuinely earned and much deserved 5 star rating!

A great service, sensitively handled.

Hannah at the Bembridge branch made the process of selling my mums much loved family home to pay for care home fees, with great sensitivity. Her help was much appreciated as I am on the mainland. I’d highly recommend Spence Willard.

Friendly and dependable service

Spence Willard are very knowledgeable on the local area my home was in - and directed the right people to see my property. They were most helpful during the conveyancing process, keeping in touch with me and the buyers along the way, with queries and updates. Would highly recommend.

Island purchase

We’ve just moved to the Island from Southampton and purchased our house through Spence Willard. Philip was extremely helpful and kept us informed throughout the purchase at all times. Always replying quickly to emails and reassuring us as the chain became a little tricky at times. I recommend using Spence Willard if you’re thinking of moving. The team are first class. Thank you once again. James and Joanne Garner

Spence Willard Estate Agents

Philip and the team at Spence Willard in Cowes couldn't have been more helpful and understanding with what turned out to be a rather long winded sale.

We all got there in the end and I have already been recommending Spence Willard to friends thinking of selling their properties.

Excellent from inception to completion.

I really cannot recommend Philip and all at Spence Willard enough. It was a real pleasure buying our property from them. At any stage of the process all of the Spence Willard team could not have been more helpful and professional. Their guidance really alleviated any stress. In fact it was smooth sailing.

Very grateful for their continued support in recommendations. It is true to say that their recommendations are a reflection of themselves as they have all proved to be excellent.

With many thanks, Sasha and Alex :)

Selling and purchasing a property in Freshwater

We are delighted to have finally moved into our new home. Our house had been on the market for a lengthy period when we decided to move to Spence Willard. Right from the start we received a warm welcome and a buyer was found within a couple of weeks. The process of selling our house was a long drawn out affair through no fault of Spence Willard. David's determination, diligence and sense of humour was magnificent. He could not have done more to ensure a successful conclusion. We are extremely grateful for the help that we received and would like to thoroughly recommend Spence Willard to other people thinking of selling/purchasing a property in the Freshwater area.

Spence Willard were professional

Spence Willard were professional, friendly, helpful and always kept us well informed of the progress of the sale of our house. Emma and Charles in particular were there for us, but the rest of the team were also very helpful. I felt the team had a good understanding of the key features of our property to sell it to a good buyer.

Superb

Friendly, professional, incredible efficiency and always happy to help with multiple queries. All questions answered promptly, gave valuable advice and chased delays / problems far more assiduously [and effectively] than solicitors on both sides of sale. Way beyond what anyone could reasonably expect - we're really grateful and thoroughly impressed.

A big THANK YOU to Hannah Cook at Spence Willard!

Hannah Cook was absolutely lovely the entire way through the process and despite a few setbacks she remained cheerful, helpful and positive. What really stands out though is that this wasn't a multimillion £££ purchase but Hannah treated all in the chain to the same high standard as if it were. She made the process feel genuinely personal and went out of her way to solve admin issues which were not really the agents direct responsibility. Based on our experience of Hannah I would highly recommend Spence Willard.

Excellent team at Freshwater IOW

David at the Freshwater branch was excellent, always going above and beyond to help us complete a very long and protracted house purchase on the Isle of Wight. Always there with a smile and he kept us informed and up to date throughout the entire process. Thanks again.

If asked I would thoroughly recommend the team at Spence Willard to anyone who was thinking of buying/selling on the Island.
