Symonds & Sampson are amazing! We purchased a property for our elderly Grandmother and they went above and beyond to help faciliate the purchase. We live in the USA and so timing was critical in this matter. Symonds & Sampson responded promptly to every question or email we sent and stayed on top of everything on our behalf. Nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend them.

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.

Fantastic friendly service from Cathryn and the rental team. Viewing, tenancy agreed and relocated in record time and couldn’t be happier. Thank you!

The Dorchester team of Stuart, Rebecca, and Michelle recently sold my cottage in Martinstown. Initial contact with Stuart was friendly with very knowledgeable advice on the market locally and tips on presentation. Very professional standards - viewings were always well organised and well communicated by others in the team, with feedback arriving shortly after each viewing. We did review and reduce the price after the initial viewings and feedback, and this brought forward a really good buyer, and the sale proceeded without hitch. Realistic sale price, realistic buyer. Very friendly and warm team, thank you.

Had a very warm and welcoming experience during the purchase of our home. The communication was first class, the email updates and the telephone conversations were friendly and helpful throughout. I truly enjoyed my experience and would deal with them again without a doubt.
Special mention to Sophie and Amy at the Sherborne office and an extra special thank you to the one and only Kirsty. There can be only one!

We had nothing but a great experience with the Blandford office, we sold after 2 viewings. The communication was helpful and calm during what could have been a frustrating legal process. We were kept up to date with feedback and explanations.

The experience I had with the Bridport office in particular Steve Allen was excellent. The sale of our house was not as straight forward as I would have hoped. Steve Allen was always very supportive during this time and assisted in resolving any issues or concerns. Communications was maintained throughout the process keeping me informed of the progress of the sale and the office staff were always very helpful when contacted.

Symonds & Sampson were super helpful during the long period it's taken to sell our property (due to complexities in the chain). While the house was empty they helped us explore letting options, helped maintain the house with weekly checks and connected us with an excellent and reliable gardener, while doing all they could to achieve a sale. All of the team were great but special thanks to Daniel Magee and Steve Allen.

The sale of my property was a protracted affair, a reflection of the market unfortunately, but in short Kate and her colleagues in Dorchester were very efficient and made the whole process painless. I am very grateful.

David and Hilary from the Poundbury office have recently assisted us with a number of sales. From start to finish they have been a pleasure to deal with, efficient, proactive and friendly. We would not hesitate to instruct David and Hilary in the future to assist us.

We just wanted to thank Stuart Philipps from the Dorchester branch for selling our cottage and for then finding us our next property to purchase. Stuart was so helpful, kind and communicative throughout. We would always use Symonds & Sampson and would really recommend Stuart to anyone thinking of selling or purchasing a property.
We would also like to thank Michelle and Rebecca for all their help and assistance throughout both processes.

We sold my mum's house through the Sherborne branch of Symonds & Sampson. James and Amy were efficient, professional and helpful. They responded to emails very quickly and were proactive in helping the sale to run smoothly. I highly recommend Symonds & Sampson.

The recent sale of my land was handled very professionally and efficiently by Lucy Carnell with assistance from Will Machin. I was kept informed throughout all stages of the process making it a pleasure to deal with S&S.

We recently sold an agricultural plot through S&S. The sale was handled by Lucy Cornelly from their Rural Office in Yeovil. She advised and supported us throughout in a very professional and friendly manner. I would recommend her to anyone.

We dealt with Matt from Beaminster, he was extremely polite and friendly. Kept us well informed of the progress as this was quite a difficult purchase due to unforseen circumstances. He was very knowledgeable of the property and it was lovely to deal with him.

Hayley and Freya were friendly, supporters and professional in arranging the tenant for my flat.

Reply from Symonds & Sampson
A reassuringly positive experience. Will and the Sturminster Newton team were easy to work with, clearly on top of their market and there was no flannel. The marketing and sale process was proactively managed and stress free for us.

Reply from Symonds & Sampson
Symonds and Sampson were the agent for the flat we were buying, and they displayed professionalism throughout. It seemed that folks on our side of the chain had a few delays and confusions, but Peter Grout-Smith and Hilary Stickley managed their side of the transaction in a calm and confident manner. Thanks again for your efforts.
