We dealt with Gaynor and team for our relocation move to the island from the mainland. They were amazing. So helpful from booking the original viewing right through to completing on our sale. They couldn’t have been a better bunch of ladies. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell on the island. A true pleasure to work with.

David at the Freshwater office was so helpful and professional when me and my partner bought our first property. After having some issues with our solicitors and being first time buyers, David helped us massively through the process and made it so much less stressful than it could have been. He kept us informed on what was happening and what to be doing in the meantime which meant a great deal to us. Thank you

Great experience

Hannah, Sam and Debbie at the Bembridge office were all so helpful and professional throughout our purchase in Seaview. They made a process, which could easily have been quite stressful, very easy and even enjoyable!

Residing in Australia made it a little more difficult.

Residing in Australia made it a little more difficult, however, Phil Weeks our Agent took away the barriers of distance with his regular, professional updates on what was going on. He kept us informed from the start of the process to completion. His local knowledge of the market and attention to detail was much appreciated.

I found Emma Bradley to be always available, when needed. Extremely helpful in all aspects of the sale and we just exchanged as of today. Took 6 months due to complex financing and 4 parties involved in a chain. Emma handled all of us perfectly and I can only highly recommend her to any seller or buyer.

Excellent Agents

Excellent agents! Will always recommend. I bought a field through Spence & Willard and they were always ready to assist as much as they could and were exceptionally pleasant and professional to deal with. They were sharp enough to approach me directly as the land is adjacent to my property and, wow, I could not be more grateful and shall forever appreciate the fact that I can protect my home from having anyone building on it which is so common these days. No hassle, dramas or upsets…literally the easiest substantial purchase I have ever made in my life. Thank you!

Thanks Team Freshwater of Spence Willard, @David Langford in particular, for all your help over many many months to get our purchase over the line. Couldn't have asked for a more understanding, courteous, friendly approach to the various issues you helped us overcome. Much appreciated.

Great service!

Our property was listed on the Friday, and by the following Wednesday we had accepted an offer at the asking price. Philip at Spence Willard chased relevant parties through to completion. Great service!

A delight to deal with

In the last few years we have bought and sold a property with the Freshwater Team. Jason, David and the Team were leagues above any estate agent that we have ever dealt with. They respond to phone calls & emails almost immediately and most unusually for any estate agent that we have dealt with prior, they actually do what they say they will do! There has not been one occasion where we could have asked them to do more because they have anticipated and acted by the time we have thought of it. It is impossible to imagine that any estate agent could have done more than they have for us. Thank you all.

We have recently been dealing with Sam and Hannah

We have recently been dealing with Spence Willard in connection with our house purchase. After one abortive attempt with the seller being in a chain, we struck lucky second time around. Our dealings with Sam and Hannah were really well handled and with their help we managed to conduct a straightforward transaction, which is a very rare event these days. I for one have always thought of the Firm as the Market Leader in the IOW property world, and my practical experience over the last few months has confirmed the reality of that original perception.

Highly professional and responsive Team. Spence Willard’s portfolio of property includes a range of high end properties but also encompasses some smaller quality properties. Emma Willard was so helpful liaising with Vendors and Solicitors to ensure the whole process was free of stress. I can highly recommend.

We instructed Spence Willard in Bembridge to assist in the sale of our property in Ryde. From start to finish they handled the process smoothly and effectively, in particularly Hannah who kept us up to date with the progress of our sale upon accepting an offer. What normally is a daunting experience, the team in Bembridge made the whole process stress free. Highly recommend.

Great experience from start to finish.

I bought my house in Bembridge through Spence Willard last year, having given Sam a brief outline of my requirements. After viewing a number of suitable properties, I had an offer accepted on my primary choice. I found the whole Bembridge office team extremely professional and accommodating. I completed on my purchase a short while later. Highly recommended.
