Sophie Chiswell at Symonds & Sampson in Sherborne, Dorset, is quite simply an outstanding sales negotiator. Not only did she accurately predict that my new home—a charming Victorian semi-detached cottage in a beguiling and little-known Somerset hamlet—would be perfect for me and my two Labradors following my divorce, she also went above and beyond during the offer and the sales process to ensure that I was always kept well informed and ahead of the game. Incredibly, through her wise insight, exceptionally good people skills (with me, the lovely couple I purchased my home from and our respective solicitors) the transaction was completed within two months of my offer being accepted. Sophie is, without doubt, brilliant at what she does, but she is so much more than a super talented and highly efficient estate agent with a natural flair for identifying her client's needs—she's a thoroughly nice, warm and empathetic person, too. I will always be grateful to her for helping me to find a bright new start in life and, should I ever need to move in future, Sophie will be the first person that I call.

I sold my parents property through Symonds & Sampson. James and the team were very professional and proactive with exemplary communication throughout the transaction. Thank you for your support and the lovely welcome when I walked through your office door. I would not hesitate to recommend and use you again.

James at Symonds and Sampson made selling my property very easy. His expert advise and up to date knowledge of the market helped me achieve the best possible deal. When the buyer had problems his advice proved invaluable and he soon smoothed over the potential sale collapse. I could not be happier.

Great service from James and the team. On changing to them for our house sale things were easy and the house was sold and completed within a few months. Great communication, going above and beyond and giving good advice. We would highly recommend them.

I had a difficult sale of a Grade 2 listed property in a courtyard setting which I entrusted to Symonds and Sampson. It took time but the whole team in the Sherborne office were excellent, always accessible, always friendly and they put a lot of effort to find the right buyer. - which they did. A trustworthy and professional estate agency I don’t hesitate to recommend.

Me and my fiancé recently bought our first home (our dream cottage) through Symonds & Sampson Sherborne and they were fantastic throughout the whole process! The team were kind, attentive, and always there to answer our questions and keep us updated. Andy and Sophie in particular were amazing. Thank you very much to Symonds & Sampson for helping us become homeowners! We are very grateful and highly recommend them.

Fantastic service from Shula, James and Amy at the Sherborne branch. We sold our home successfully and most importantly smoothly(!!) with the team in May. Each viewing was followed up within 12 hours with an initial thought and then firmer feedback followed. Once under offer, Shula was on top of all the conveyancing and it compared to all our other moves it was a dream! Thank you so much!

Extremely professional and always courteous. Made the purchasing of my new home very easy. No corporate patter, just helpful and straightforward.

We recently completed a complicated purchase of a property through Symonds & Sampson's Sherborne office. Shula was fantastic, providing great support and help with excellent communication throughout the process. I would highly recommend Symonds & Sampson for their 5 star service.
