Excellent service from the whole team at Symonds and Sampson. Held our hands throughout the whole process, and saw us through to a successful completion. Nothing was too much trouble, always super responsive to phone calls and emails, and in person, everyone couldn’t have been more friendly and professional! I hope we will not be buying and selling in the near future, as we hope we’re now in our forever home, but if we ever need to, would definitely use Symonds and Sampson again, they really care, we’re supportive, professional but with a family feel. We felt nurtured throughout the process, and would highly recommend to all people looking to either buy or sell a property. 5 stars are not enough!... Read more

I used Symonds and Sampson estate agents to sell my late Father's house at auction due to its less than great state.
In all respects from the first point of contact on the phone and in person, through the roller coaster ride going through the auction process, to the final outcome of completion today, their tireless expertise has been outstanding.
In particular I dealt a great deal with Andy Wakinshaw who was always a consummate professional balanced with ease of approachability and constant, faithful assistance. Every encounter I had with Andy was so easy and confidence building since this was my very first foray into selling a property and was clueless.
Andy however was a rock with very perceptive and accurate advice the entire way through over a few months. Following his obvious groundswell of gathered knowledge and insightful advice, we were able to complete on what became a tricky situation, that he handled without fuss and instilling confident peace in what could easily have been so different.
What professionalism, friendliness, expert advice and handling, with great timing too.
Cannot recommend Andy, the team and Symonds and Sampson highly enough.
Would not give consideration to any other estate agents following such excellent service from them.... Read more

Ever so kind, a true classy English gentleman, calm & effortlessly professional, outstanding full support from GRAHAM BARTON!
As a complex auction buyer, I can’t thank enough Graham Barton from Symonds & Sampson LLP for all his patience with me from the very beginning, Graham was so understanding & reassuring with every step, nothing was ever too much trouble.
He took the time to explain everything clearly & never made me feel uncomfortable for asking questions. His calm, friendly manner made the whole process feel so much less stressful & his professionalism and good humour really put me at ease.
It’s rare to meet someone who’s not only absolutely Brilliant at their job but also genuinely kind & people’s person. Graham truly went above and beyond & I’m so grateful for his guidance and warmth throughout as it was nerve racking experience for me & I’m usually well collected & solid but this type of pre-auction style made me feel totally lost & panic until I met Graham & lovely Brigit.
Thank you so much, Graham honestly, you made what could have been a stressful experience feel as easy & positive. It was so lovely to see you randomly on TV “under hammer”, made me smile to know that I know you & you walked me through my most difficult & terrifying buying process in my entire lifetime....

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish - We've had the pleasure of working with Symonds & Sampson twice now – first when we bought our property, and most recently when we sold it. Both experiences have been outstanding, but I must particularly highlight the exceptional service provided by Rickey (Partner) during our recent sale.
From the outset, Rickey demonstrated an impressive understanding of the local market and had an astute grasp of customer segmentation when it came to identifying our ideal buyer. His pricing strategy was spot-on – perfectly pitched to attract the right interest – and we secured a buyer within three months.
What truly set Rickey apart was his empathetic and diplomatic approach throughout the entire process. He skilfully balanced the needs and concerns of both buyer and seller, navigating potentially tricky situations with professionalism and sensitivity. His ability to manage the deal through to exchange of contracts was masterful.
Having moved numerous times over the years, I can honestly say that Rickey stands head and shoulders above any other estate agent I've worked with. His dedication to looking after the seller's interests, whilst maintaining excellent relationships with all parties, is truly impressive.
I would highly recommend Rickey and the Symonds & Sampson team without hesitation. If you're looking for an estate agent who combines local expertise with genuine care and exceptional negotiation skills, look no further.... Read more

There are estate agents and there is Symonds and Sampson.
I’ve moved house a few times but the attention and professionalism of Rickey and the whole team was the best I have experienced.
The house was priced correctly, the details looked great and the marketing worked well. The house was sold very quickly, a testament to the teams expert matching of buyers.
We had a few problems not related to the sale , but the team kept with us throughout and even put up with my sometimes odd humour.
Thanks Rickey and the whole team. You done a great job.... Read more

I don't normally write reviews but due to the exemplary service received by Symonds and Sampsons at Axminster, I feel I should share. From start to finish , the service provided in selling my Grade 2 listed cottage was brilliant. The advice I was given at the outset in order to sell proved to be incredibly important and the sound advice and knowledge throughout helped enormously. They go the extra mile and work much harder than other agents I have used in the past. An Estate Agent you can trust, which is so important for your biggest asset, your home. I cannot recommend them highly enough.... Read more

On the whole the office staff were polite and friendly and appeared very efficient.
The only problem we had was that being a probate sale it appeared to us that details were not listened to or conveyed to the purchaser.
Luckily probate was obtained fairly quickly but then we were put under considerable pressure to complete very rapidly.
After completion Symonds and Sampson did not contact us at all which I found surprising.... Read more

After more than 9 months of failure to sell our property even though we had 20+ viewings and 4 offers (all of which failed) we moved our account to Symonds & Sampson. They told us that they would have customers ready to go and so it proved. Within 2 weeks we had a firm buyer and completion was accomplished withing the Stamp Duty relief deadline. Throughout the sale S&S were on the ball and liaised with us and the buyers very effectively. Naturally we are very pleased with the outcome and would recommend S&S to anyone especially if you have an unusual property like ours.... Read more

We have just bought a house in Kilmington via Rickey at Symonds & Sampson's in Axminster. Having previously gone through a house sale that fell through at the last hurdle with another estate agency firm, I just wanted to take a moment to express how great Rickey and S&S were. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for Rickey, every question asked was answered with respect and promptly. Even when we originally viewed the house, we rang up and asked to view it that day and Rickey met us there that afternoon. Exceptional service, we will definitely use S&S if we ever come to sell our house (although that won't be anytime soon as we love it). Buying/selling a house can be a very stressful process but that wasn't the case for us at all. Thanks so much Rickey.... Read more

Would give a zero if I could. Rented from here the previous tenants had a full repainting taken out of their deposit work wasn't carried out. I left the house cleaner than when we got it and was charged £180 for limescale removal asked for proof work had been done surprisingly never got it.
