Testimonials

 

There are a lot of sayings about feedback and reviews; principally that “you cannot please everyone”, although one of my favourites is by Vince Lombardi: “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence”. Another I was once told: “it takes 20 people to get a good reputation and 1 to give you a bad one – because that person will talk about it louder”.

 

Personally we follow the ‘marginal gains’ philosophy, that if we can improve every action we take by 1%, then they all add up to being better than the competition – which in turn leads to what many of our buyers and sellers comment: that we ‘go the extra mile’.

 

We are in an industry with an average trust rating of 27% - deserved by many, however at Milfords, you will find people that care about what you want from an estate agent and are trying to do their bit to raise that too by another 1%, well it will be a start.....

David Thompson of Hardings has been very helpful throughout the procedure of purchasing our property, particularly after the sale was agreed. He is an Agent who definitely does things differently from other estate agents – for sellers and buyers.
He smoothed the way for us as purchasers of the property even though he was not working on our behalf.
He helped pave the way in recommending good trades people for work we wanted doing on the property and with the consent of the sellers, went out of his way to arrange visits for us to take measurements and discuss requirements with painters etc.,
He can be well recommended and I would most certainly use Hardings if, and when we ever want to sell our property.

We can't recommend David at Hardings highly enough. From start to finish he was professional, got back to us when he said he would and kept us well informed. He gave us great advice and was very supportive.

After buying a flat at Spire View Salisbury, we just wanted to thank David for his very attentive and informative service showing us the 2 bed flat several times. He went much further than would be expected in helping my elderly cousin decide on purchasing this flat and then was invaluable in ensuring everything went smoothly for the conveyancing and move during this very difficult Covid restricted period (Sept 2020 to Jan 2021). He recommended some very good local solicitors, services and contractors to help at every stage. If you are selling then your property is in great hands and if buying then you are lucky to have him there to be of genuine help. Tom and Guy

David Thompson and the team at Hardings have been fantastic in helping me purchase my first home. I was not from the local area and from arranging viewings, to communicating with the seller and answering questions about the process and the local area. David was prompt and effective in helping my making the right decision in home and moving with minimal delays.

Fantastic from start to finish.
From the very first phone call David could not offer enough help.
Knowing my time constraints, David quickly put me in touch with a Mortgage broker to assist in a quick purchase.
Once the deal was complete David’s after care has been phenomenal and even put me in touch with a property surveyor knowing an extension was likely to be put up.
My choice of estate agents for the future is already confirmed.

Searched for a property in Salisbury and we found Hardings Estate Agents.
Met David there and was an instant like to the Gentleman. Great Sale skills with the communication but not only that, he was more interesting in how we felt about the property and did not push us into anything ( Not like some ).
Seemed to be more concerned about his clients than selling.
That to me is a good honest person.
Once we chose the house, David wanted to make sure we was 100% sure.
He also helped us all the way with the Solicitors and Builders to make sure everything went as smooth as can be.
Hardings Estate agents I would 100% recommend.
If you ever want to either sell or buy the I would go to see David at Hardings

Since day one (making the first phone call) to arrange to view the property, the service we have experienced with David has been impeccable. David explained the whole process, what will happen, when it should happen and what to expect within an expected time frame. It was evident that David had the experience and knew the process inside out. We were able to visit the property several times and nothing was too much trouble to find out or arrange. We felt there was very much a personal touch with David (Nothing was ever too much bother). In fact we’re not sure if David ever stops working!)
David shared his local knowledge of the area and amenities which we found very informative and helpful in our decision to buy our property. If you want a comprehensive, transparent and no nonsense service, David @ Hardings is the man for you.
During the latter part of the process, If it wasn’t for David practicing due diligence, keeping us informed, chasing enquiry’s regarding my Estate Agent and Solicitors, I think we would still be waiting to exchange contracts right now this minute. We could not have asked for more every single telephone call returned in a timely manner. Extremely Impressed with the service. Thank you David.

David Thompson from Hardings was so efficient, friendly, informative and generally very helpful. He always had time to talk things through with us and kept us informed of every step. In fact, most of the time, we received more information from him than from our own solicitors! We will definitely recommend him to anyone we know who needs a good Estate Agent.

David went above and beyond to help us find our new home. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he helped us right the way through with advice and support until we moved, and was even in contact helping us the few days after. Couldn't have asked for a better service and would 100% use Hardings again and recommend him to anyone thinking of moving house.

Just wanted to express our wishes to David and team at Hardings, with his outstanding efforts to get our move pushed through when we had a hiccup in the chain. His professional manner and great insight to his chosen field. He showed a calming manner in what is a very stressful time, to get the deal done.

Hardings were acting for the sellers of a property we bought and went the extra mile to secure the deal, enabling an initial viewing out of office hours then keeping us fully informed They guided the transaction to a swift and successful completion. Hardings were prompt, extremely helpful, proactive and friendly throughout and we have no hesitation in recommending Hardings.

My husband and I have bought and sold many properties over the years but this purchase stood out from the rest by being the easiest by far! One of the reasons for this was Davids amazing level of communication. He kept us informed of everything that was going on and was very quick to let us know of any changes. He wanted all parties involved to feel confident and supported in this transaction, and we felt that we were at the forefront of his mind during the whole process. David also was aware that timing was of the essence for this purchase and he made sure that he kept things moving at a pace and everything ultimately went as smoothly as it possibly could have done. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend David and we will certainly use him again for any purchases and sales in the future.

I can only say that from beginning to end I have been most impressed with the way in which I have been kept in touch, telephone calls always answered and messages handed on. David and his team have been a pleasure to deal with.

David and his supporting team,
took the time to explain the buying
process. At every stage, he continued
to update us with the progress of the sale-
following a professional and ethical code of practice.
We felt reassured that the sale would be
completed, without any difficulties.
We would recommend selling or buying
a house with the Salisbury team.

We viewed a number of properties with David and his team before finding the property that we bought. Both David and Michael were very helpful arranging viewings and showing us round the property. The purchase of our property went through very smoothly.

We are just about to complete on our first home and cannot thank David and his team enough for making the process so quick and painless! We had our offer accepted 6 and a half weeks ago and are completing tomorrow. This turnaround would not have been possible without David's tenacity and professionalism, chasing both solicitors to get things done. What has impressed us most is that David and his team did what they said they would, when they would, and any complications or delays were promptly explained to us. We couldn't have asked for a better service and feel that even though acting in the best interests of their client, they did all they could to help us too. We would not hesitate in recommending David to those wishing to sell or buy a home.
