Report
We sold and purchased through Hamwics at the beginning of this year. From start to finish the team were fantastic! When we decided to sell, the team came round promptly and took professional images which really showed the best of our home. We had a consistent stream of viewings and It ended up selling within weeks! We hadnt picked the easiest time to try and buy a house but Ray and his team kept us constantly updated with new properties coming on the market and showed us a few we wouldnt have considered ourselves, one we ended up buying! We wouldnt have found our dream home without

Will forever be grateful for the help and advice received from Hamwic. I had to co-ordinate a house move for my Nan who hadnt move in decades and I had never dealt with the sale or purchasing of a property and the team went out their way to help and advise throughout the whole process and even the buyers of my Nans house commented on how amazing our estate agents were compared to who they used. I strongly recommend anyone thinking of selling or buying to use Hamwic Estate agents to get quality service, none of the annoying junk emails and help whenever needed. Also their knowledge of local tradesmen

Hamwics were super professional and quick to respond to any queries we had during our purchase of our property. Unfortunately, we had some issues with people dropping out and half our chain having to wait while a new property was found. It was extremely stressful and worrying, but Richard kept us informed the entire way and nothing was too much. We would most definitely use Hamwics in the future should we require their services and would recommend to family and friends.

We had a challenge at times but Hamwic were very professional. Each time when the sale fell through we sold it the next day, after two fails they were there and it was sold the next day. Thanks to them we are very happy in our new house in the cotswolds. I would recommend them. Thank you especially Richard.

We sold our property with Richard and the team at Hamwic early this year. We had purchased a property previously as first time buyers but this was our first time selling. They were fantastic from start to finish, offered great advise and helped us get the best price for our property. Very professional and extremely helpful, even with the purchase of our new property (they didn't have to help with this as it was through another company) they didn't even hesitate to assist, always went above and beyond to help in any way they could. Very responsive and always returned our calls the same day,
