Sharman Quinney Anmeldelser 

The Lettings team in the Peterborough branch were exceptional, a big shout out to Shane and Suzanne, thank you my family and I was very happy the service provided. Ben B

After deciding to relocate to March in Cambridgeshire, we searched Estate Agents for advice on properties in the area. On coming into the Sharman Quinney office in March 2023, we instantly received a professional and very friendly reception. Georgia Goode knew we were in the very early stages of looking and we felt no pressure to start the process of choosing properties. We knew then that Georgia and her team were the right people to help us.

We reconnected at the end of June 2023 with 5 properties we wanted to see, and again we received fantastic support from Georgia, taking us round each property, offering exceptionally sound advice on the area, amenities really listening to what we were after. On our third choice of viewings, we knew the property was definitely 'the one'.

As we didn't yet have an offer on our own property for sale, Georgia negotiated with the vendor, and an agreement to hold the offer for 3 weeks was put in place. It did take a little longer to sell our own house, and once sorted we went straight back to Georgia to offer on our dream home.

The whole team at Sharman Quinney worked tirelessly for several months whilst the chain hit problems and Katie in the office worked really well with our own estate agent in chasing updates and keeping our vendor informed. The communication was outstanding. Finally after 8 months of issues out of our control we managed to exchange and complete within 3 days. Excitedly we went to the office to collect our keys and were welcomed by the whole team who had been patiently waiting for the sale to go through - Sandra in the office was absolutely lovely and knew so much about the property we were buying she offered so much helpful information and its history.

We really felt the whole team, Sandra, Georgia, Katie, Natasha, Jade and Cassie were outstanding in their professionalism, emphasis on communication and patience in helping us finally get to our forever home. I would recommend Sharman Quinney in a heartbeat.

Whittlesea branch I think. Unprofessionalism from the rental dept from exactly the day after I signed the contract, as landlord I can't believe these people are employed. Incompetent, unprofessional, lazy, most definitely need to learn the difference between advice and threatening behaviour on their part.

Please avoid using Sharman Quinney under any circumstances. If I could have given no stars I would have, there is nothing good that can be said about this agency. It's honestly the worst agency I have ever come across and I've been in the industry myself for 14 years now.

They cannot even carry out basic due diligence when advertising a property so be prepared to be misinformed. One property was advertised as both freehold and leasehold, when we phoned to check we were told it was freehold, but it turned out through our solicitor it did have a lease too. They also didn't know the seller was only selling with a limited title not a full one, something that again only came to light through our solicitor six months later, a complete waste of everyone's time that could have been avoided if Sharman Quinney could be bothered to get to know the sellers and the houses they are selling better.

The property we eventually ended up buying was advertised as having allocated off road parking. When we phoned to check this we were told this was definitely correct. Common sense told us this didn't seem right as none of the properties there had parking and the space was no where near the house! It turned out this was not the case at all and there was no parking with the house. It no longer fitted our needs however as this all happen several weeks down the line, and we were due to be made homeless in a matter of weeks, we simple had no choice but to proceed. Sharman Quinney's response to this was 'we take the word of our sellers' so it seems they will believe anything you tell them as a seller, despite the fact common sense should have made any competent agent question the parking situation in this case. Sharman quinney are the only agency I know to get away with not carrying out basic due diligence.

You will never be able to get hold of anyone at the branch, we had to phone another branch on many occasions to get them to contact the Shelford office for us, they don't reply to any phone calls or emails. They have a turn over of staff every few weeks, you are not told when someone is leaving nor introduced to someone new starting. The person starting will also have no clue what's going on with the sale so be prepared to constantly have to repeat yourself. They do not bother giving you any updates or chase a sale for you, complete laziness. They will be sitting on their personal mobile phones everytime you drive past.

When we raised a complaint about their shortfallings and appalling service, we didn't get a single apology. How this agency is still running honestly baffles me, at the very least the Shelford branch should not be allowed to continue practicing.

Absolutely no! They can't manage the basic. I called the agency several time asking where the agent was. She missed me? I went to the appointment well in advance but she didn't show up. Seriously...

You have all been so helpful, great team work and all in one help, thank you

Earlier this year we were searching to buy a property in Oundle and desperate to move to the area. Linda McMullan is an outstanding estate agent. All the agencies we registered with made little to no contact with us and it was down to us to chase them to see if they had new properties coming to the market. This was not the case with Linda. Linda rang us weekly to see how our search was progressing, kept us informed of events happening in Oundle and what properties were coming to the market. She was formidable in our house search and even at the end when we found a property with another agent, Linda kept in touch and helped our transition to moving up to Northamptonshire. Linda is a total professional and with confidence I would happily sell any property via her as I know the service I received as a house seeker was professional, caring and supportive. Thanks very much Linda.

Disgusting behaviour, this is a joke of an estate agency all they do is copy and paste, they’ve recently copied and pasted a description from a nearby property simply because they couldn’t be bothered to write content properly, previously they had 4 bullet points, on top of that the picture quality is so poor it looks as though it’s been done with a phone, they left a house alarm going off for hours and the icing on the cake they told the vender to drop the sale of their property by 20k as they’ve had no interest, perhaps if they’d taken the photos and done a description the vender would have more interest. So what exactly they are being paid for other than to copy and paste and take some shoddy pictures is well beyond me. Save your money and headache go elsewhere there are plenty of decent agencies that will look after you in such a stressful time.

18 Oct reply: Unable to reply to Sharman Quinney so in answer to your question it is the Peterborough branch. We are not with them, its our neighbour who is with the, its the Peterborough branch that has copied our advert

A very generous 1 star, I am the landlord of a property. which I employ Sharman Quinney and as soon as I signed the contract the incompetence came to the surface, within a month the laziness showed and by the end of month 2 the term "passing the book" would be a good description.

Dealing with the Great shelford branch for selling . Up to last week they had such a large turnover of staff and a lot of our paperwork and photos have gone missing of ours . Not happy at all with them . They apparently now have a whole new team so Im hoping that things will improve we wait and see . Since a young lady named Alice joined them 3months ago things seem to improve . She paid a visit to our home on the market again due to the present economic current climate of mortgage rates increasing and she had done more in one week than any of the others in the past . So well done Alice you deserve a quick promotion for trying to make things better and restore my faith in the company .

Can’t thank the team at the werrington branch enough they have been tremendously helpful throughout our moving process. Big thanks to Johnathan.

Avoid! I am renting from them the property is infested with mould they told me to ventilate the mould out! I have autoimmune disease I can’t live in those conditions they refuse to give me landlord details to speak to them directly. They rude and unprofessional. No repairs nothing is being done. I have 5 months of lease left and I lost all my belongings to mould. They by far the worse letting agents in Peterborough! Avoid at all cost !

This is about your werrington branch pe4 the team lead by Kelly kahn my whole experience was brilliant from the minute I walked in to the office to have a chat about selling my house that is all complete first class sharman & Quinny esp Kelly and Renate .

The Cambridge team at Sharman Quinney have just sold our house, great work all the way. We did have a rough start as our buyers buyer fell through twice which delayed things but the team kept me informed, agreed to remarketing to reach a sale.
Big thanks to Jack, Katie & all involved.

The team at Sharman Quinney - Thrapston have been fantastic in the process of us purchasing our first home!
They provided us all the information we needed from day 1 and have been amazing at answering all our questions!

Tried to buy a house with these guys. They pulled every dodgy trick in the book.

After my offer was accepted. They told me it was a vital part of the process that I drive to their office in Peterborough to attend an in person meeting.

This meeting had nothing to do with my purchase, instead they tried to pressure me into buying various products - including life insurance. Not something I need, and certainly not something I'd buy from an estate agent.

That was a 2 Hour round trip to have someone attempt to sell me financial products I didn't ask for, and clearly didn't need. They clearly thought that just because I'm a first time buyer - that I was born yesterday.

Everything they do takes weeks. Communication was awful, my main point of contact left the business - but I wasn't told, leaving me completely in the dark. They didn't even put an out office on.

I was fully prepared with a deposit and mortgage offer, and had no chain it should have been a simple purchase.

In the end it was almost 6 months between me having an offer accepted and getting the keys.

My 5-star rating belongs to employee - FAY WILSON only. My family had to leave a property manager by SQ early (before the end of our contract) as we suddenly had to move to another city. Graciously, our direct letting agent - Rebecca Clarke was able to sort this out with our landlord on the terms we continue to pay the rents and bills until a new tenant moves in and also pay a one-off fee of £730 to scout for a new tenant. This was fair enough as we were the ones who had breached the initial contract and we had no complaints.We paid rents and bills for 1.5months after we had vacated the property and the search for a new tenant was ongoing. Luckily, a new tenant moved in 8days before the expiration of the rent we had paid and we asked SQ to kindly refund us 8days of rent. For four months, countless phone calls and several emails, I continued to speak with Rebecca Clarke about this. Rebecca responded to just a few of my emails, would promise to get back with an update but hardly ever did. I became really frustrated. So one day, I rang the office line again (1 week after my newest follow up email to Rebecca was not responded to) expecting to speak with Rebecca and get the usual empty promises, Fay Wilson answered the phone and said Rebecca wasn't in the office but asked how she could help. Reluctantly, I narrated my four months ordeal. Fay took ownership of the issue, apologized, asked for time to investigate and promised to ring back. Then she rang back. I mean she actually rang back multiple times.I thought this was a taboo at SQ. Even when I was unreachable, she updated me via emails. Long story short, we got refunded the owed sum 2 working days after my first contact with her. Thank you Fay. If only every staff at SQ was half as kind and customer centric as you are, they wouldn't be any negative reviews. I believe Fay is working in a dysfunctional system at SQ because I was appalled by the fact that all my several emails (though addressed to Rebecca Clarke) were sent to a team/ group email address. Someone else, a supervisor ought to have seen at least 1 email and asked Rebecca what was going on here. Fay, you are the Star of my review and the only reason I could still consider recommending SQ to anyone or look forward to working with them in the future. I wish you Fay, all the best in your future endeavors. TAIWO

The market Deeping crew especially Matt made us feel like we mattered. They listened to us unlike others who dictated, meaning we felt supported but in control.

Obviously at the start you have lots of contact then a period of calm but towards the last push Matt was instrumental in making sure everyone was working hard to achieve the completion date.

When I handed the keys in they gave me a box of random things like alcohol free beer and hair conditioner. It’s a nice gesture and I’m now looking like Michael Myers’s in the free face mask 🙈

We have had dealings with SQ over several years and would have no hesitation in recommending them. They have always provided a very professional and personalised service which makes youfeel wellsupported throughout the buying and selling process. A special thank you to Lucy at the Thrapston branch who went the extra mile and always conveyed the feeling that she cared about us. Thank you all.

Very poor, no response and no contact. Is this an actual company! How anyone would use this company is beyond me.
