Ben at Hambledon Estate Agents went above and beyond to help us sell our property. We hit a few obstacles along the way (just lots of bad luck) and Ben went out of his way to help, offer advice and do whatever he could to get us back on track and make sure things went smoothly. He’s always been kind, professional and friendly on the phone and in person. My Mother was unable to leave the property during viewings and he always looked after her welfare when anyone was in the property for viewings. Making sure she knew what was going on and that she was ok. If you are looking for a knowledgeable estate agent, who is also caring and professional then I can highly recommend Hambledon in Shaftesbury. More than happy with the service we received....

During our traumatic and sometimes very frustrating house move Ben was always available to do his level best in smoothing a pathway. We found Ben to be most professional and considerate to our needs.
So a big thank you... Read more

We have just sold a house through Hambledons in Shaftesbury, sadly under difficult circumstances - Ben was brilliant and always at the end of the phone if we needed to contact him. We cant thank them enough, they made the process easy and took all the pressure of us. Thank you.... Read more

Having recently sold and bought through Hambledon I can honestly say the experience was 100% positive. Ben and Francine are the perfect blend of professional and personable, they were both a pleasure to deal with, hugely knowledgeable, excellent negotiators and very responsive to any queries. The high street presence is a real bonus and I preferred their traditional good service over other pushy, social media focused agents locally. I wholeheartedly recommend them.... Read more

It was tricky at times and took longer than originally expected but Ben was great- more therapist than estate agent! We purchased through them 15 years ago and thought they were great then. We have now just sold the same property through them. Always quick to deal with queries etc. Would recommend.... Read more

We recently bought a house in mere through hambledons shaftsbury..and they were a dream to deal with.. especially Francine, who was supportive, knowledgeable, positive and really friendly throughout ..even when things were complicated, hambledons remained totally committed to us, and then when we finally completed, they were as overjoyed for us as we were, if you have any estate agent needs, hambledons shaftsbury and specially Francine are definitely who you should go to..thanks Francine and the team!...

Our experience with hambledons in shaftsbury was an absolute dream..we viewed a house they were marketing in mere and Francine came to show us around, this lady is incredibly dedicated and committed to what she does..she made the process of buying the house really smooth..and then when someone else in the chain had to pull out, Francine continued to be supportive and positive and then eventually everything came together..it was clear that she was rooting for us from day one which gave us so much confidence to move forward..thanks so so much Francine and the team.. we'll always be grateful to you.....

Could not be worse. If you want to deal with an estate agent that does absolutely nothing, forgets who you are, does not contact you or the vendor for 6 months +, this is the one for you!... Read more

Do not use Hambledons.
Lazy, indolent, no wonder they closed local branch without notifying us.
In all honesty they are not to be trusted in our opinion.
Massive over valuation getting few viewings.
V, v ,v poor communication, .
Gave our personal contact details to spurned purchaser. Who had tried to purchase under agreed price. The purchaser was also not a cash buyer as stated by Hambledons .
They played no part in final sale, as we had already given them notice to quit.
They failed to attend any viewings by final purchaser despite promising to do so.
Apparently gave access to property without our permission to failed purchaser.
This has been an arduous task made worse by an inept, lazy agent, who in our opinion is in league with developers.
We had more contact when completting the deal asking about their fee than we ever got any other time.
We had taken access away from Hambledons because we had no trust in their integrity and impartiality.
Fellow branches denied any responsibility for actions or connections with Gillingham branch , which seems very peculiar as they are advertised together.
Do yourselves a favour, don't use Hambledons... Read more
