Sharman Quinney Estate Agents in Thrapston

Me and my partner have just brought our first house with Sharman quinney. Being extremely new to this all we felt extremely supported and informed of everything going on. James was amazing in getting everything completed on such a tight time frame allowing us to move in before we loose our rented property which would have left us homeless for a while.Sam was also amazing and got us the best deals which other mortgage brokers didn’t offer us elsewhere!HighlyRecommended

I would highly recommend using Sharman Quinney Estate Agents in Thrapston! Johnson has made this long journey purchasing a property much easier for us! He’s kind, helpful and hard working! Thanks

As first time buyers, we felt supported by Samuel throughout the process. He worked hard to get us great rates and was always on hand to answer questions we had. 10/10 would use again !

If only I could give no stars..We've had what can only be described as a nightmare experience with Sharman Quinney at Thrapston. Firstly, we didn't come to them - they came to us. Mariella knocked on our front door one afternoon in May after we'd previously had them through for a valuation but decided against using them. We were impressed with her ingenuity and accepted her offer to discuss how they might still help us as we hadn't had any success to that point in selling our property. We were looking to move overseas and had a lot riding on the move as we are also taking our beloved dogs with us.She came across really well to us and said that given the circumstances of her visit they would waive the usual terms of engagement on the basis that they'd really just like to help us sell our property. So, we agreed to let them market it for us - what did we have to lose?We got viewings almost immediately - it's very much a buyer's market in 2023 so some were timewasters and others appeared to be more genuine. Then we had an offer on the same day as the viewing - we accepted it and then had a call the next day to say they'd changed their mind.A short while later we reduced our price and had interest almost immediately from another buyer who'd seen it at the higher price but couldn't afford it. The agent wasn't available to do the viewing so we did it ourselves. They offered the next day and had a relatively attractive chain by UK standards. She was selling to a renter and was cash on completion. It sounded ideal. They offered low and Sharman Quinney were of little use in raising the asking price but we accepted it because we just wanted to get the deal done and move overseas. We even showed her family around a couple of days later so other than taking the initial phone call, they had very little to do with the deal.James Best, the Thrapston branch manager, handles things after the sale is agreed through to completion. I was also told that they had a specialist resource that followed up with the involved parties weekly but, in time pressured sales such as ours, twice weekly. It didn't quite happen like that though.There were just two other parties to follow up. Both of them were supposedly ultra keen to get the deal done. Searches were done, enquiries were raised and answered. We were dusting off our passports and pet quarantine permits and getting ready for the off!But we had a constant struggle to get him to reply to emails or return phone calls. I even visited their office three times just to pin him down and get him to understand the importance of getting this done in the time-scales we were working towards. I had 2 updates in 8 weeks (and I had to ask for those) and when things were getting really tight I pressed him for an update. At this point, he made some calls and then called me back to let me know our buyer's buyer had backed out and the deal was dead.Of course at this point our confidence with James and the rest of his team was lost. But then we also had the 28 day notice period enforced upon us which basically means we have to stay off the market for a month to satisfy this condition.Overall, despite getting plenty of viewings and an offer that we were prepared to accept, we were left very disappointed that our plans had to be shelved. Whilst sales fall through for a variety of reasons, the lack of comms from James and his team at the critical stages certainly contributed greatly to it in our opinion.

We were buying from Sharman Quinney in Thrapston. They are without question the most helpful agents I have ever dealt with. Special mentions to Johnson and Rebecca 'Becky' for their help, support and genuinely going the 'extra mile'. For that, I will always be grateful.

Samuel Roy was amazing with helping us with our mortgage! He answered all our questions and gave great advice to help us buy our first home. We would definitely recommend Samuel and the team. We Thank you!

Sharman Quinney have been incredibly helpful in helping us arrange our mortgage. Purchasing our first home was a daunting task, but Samuel Roy has supported us every step of the way with expert knowledge and advice. I highly recommend!

Can not fault sharman quinney they helped us out to find our 1st home together. Sharman are also understanding and help is only a phone call away. Never had any issues with communication or any guidance if it was needed. Also big thank you to Samuel who works within the team helping us along the way we couldn't do it without you.

Living a distance from the property presented a number of issues when selling, but the staff at Sharman Quinney Thrapston, were all very helpful particularly James Best and Kerry Radforth. They managed the viewings and kept in regular contact throughout the process. We also utilised their own conveyancing team based at Peterborough, unfortunately, this was a mistake as there was very poor communication and their tracking sheet was rarely updated. The sale fell through and we were advised by James to change to the modern auction method. This was very efficient and concluded the sale inside the timescales when a new conveyancing team was utilised (Iamsold). If you require a quick sale I can full recommend this process.

I couldn't have hoped for a better team to help sell our property. James, Katie, Kerry, Becky, Mariella and Lucy were all very always helpful and courteous. All queries via phone or email, were dealt with in a timely manner and within 4 months our property sale had completed. I would absolutely recommend this estate agents to help sell your property.
