Richard Harding bristol

We just wanted to thank you very much for such a smooth sale of our flat recently. It was by far the most straightforward sale we have had and we would just like to recognise the efforts and professionalism of Kat who did an amazing job from start to finish. When there were potential hold-ups or issues she was very quick to pick these up and then communicate efficiently with the party concerned. This resulted in the smooth sale for which we are both grateful and appreciative.

During the past 3 months we have been searching for a property in Bristol. We are experienced home owners and have bought and sold many houses over 35 years. Over this time Ben Woollams from Richard Harding is probably the best Estate Agent we have worked with. RH appear to have a good stock of property and the service offered from Ben was excellent. Patience and listening skills were great and relevant information was always available. A very pleasurable experience.

Richard Harding were excellent throughout the process and really went out of their way to help us with our property sale. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and professional and they did everything they said they would do. I would recommend them to anyone!

We have just sold a house and bought another one synchronously with Richard Harding. Peter Sharland was our main contact and his professionalism and determination were second to none. The house selling process in particular was fairly fraught for lawyer related reasons and throughout Peter was exceptionally engaged - ringing round a long list of people ensuring that everyone had the correct information and expediting things wherever possible. We would definitely use him again - THANKS Peter!

What a great team! Heartfelt thanks from us for your patient, attentive, and unwavering support from beginning to end. The location was a bit off-putting to some, but you did a great job of persuading people to view, and almost without exception they loved the place when they got here. We owe a particular debt of thanks to Peter Sharland who was brilliantly diplomatic, charming and full of good reason throughout the negotiations with all the interested parties. Overall, we'd say the team at Richard Harding served us (buyers and sellers alike) really well. Concessions had to be made on both sides before we could reach our final agreement, but we got there with a happy ending all round. Thank you.

I had my property in Clifton on the market with another agent for nearly a year with no success, after speaking with my neighbours who had dealt with Richard Harding in the past I decided to move to them. I did not regret my choice. When Pete came to appraise the property it was clear he had done his research, comparing mine to other similar properties in the area. Something that was lacking from the other agent! They were great at providing feedback after every viewing and when an offer was placed they were great at communicating with me and my solicitor. I could not recommend Richard Harding highly enough. Thank you Pete and to everyone else for making it so easy for me.

Our particular property was out of the ordinary for the area and they 'got it' and promoted it as such.Having then achieved a sale above the asking price within 24 hrs of going 'live' ,they then managed our buyer, the solicitors and kept us fully informed during the whole process. The Staff are very experienced and professional and it shows. We have bought and sold 9 houses previoously and have never received this level of service before. We would highly recommended them.

We bought a house through Richard Harding earlier this summer. It was a highly sought-after property and we won it only just in a sealed bid. It felt, though, from the start that these estate agents wanted to sabotage the sale. Even as we walked around the property with our surveyor (who we had paid £3k+ for), all the Richard Harding estate agent could say to us was "we speak to the people who missed out in the sealed bid everyday, they constantly ring us up to see if this sale is falling through" or words to that effect. We found this very strange. We were buying the house with a bridging loan which was horrifically complicated as the house was old and in a horrific state, and involved five solicitors, yet there was no 'help' so to speak of from Richard Harding. It was just threats and ultimatums. Sometimes they would make an ultimatum which even the seller's solicitor wasn't aware of, which made us wonder if they were just making it up. It also seemed like everything they did was on behalf of the sellers. They didn't 'manage' the sale for both parties. They just worked for the sellers and, in our view, created a tremendous amount of mistrust between us. We believe they treated us (in our view) so badly because the house was so sought after. Indeed, they even admitted that they weren't hassling other people who were taking a long time (if it was a long time) to complete on their purchase. The reason - because in those sales no one else was waiting in the wings. So, it seemed the whole reason they were so brutal to us was because the house was popular and other people were mad they had missed out on it. Unless Richard Harding had an alternative reason for it to fall through and to give it to someone else - we don't know. Finally, up until the last few weeks, we felt Richard Harding weren't being genuine with us. All the hassle to get it over the line - all the threats and ultimatums. We were ready to exchange and complete on the same day - which they had known about for months. Then they told us right at the last second that the sellers wanted a month after exchange to move all their furniture - which they had had five months to do. When we queried their suggested completion date, they just said: “That’s the completion date.” As I say, they weren't working for us, but just the sellers. Obviously, the bridging loan was horrifically complicated and dragged on. But Richard Harding still put my partner who was dealing with most of this through utter hell. It could have been handled very differently. We now have the house and this is all water under the bridge. This review just serves as a warning to anyone else buying a popular house with similarly complicated finances!

I have used Richard Harding to Buy and sell houses for the past 9 years and they have consistently delivered every time. Expert knowledge of the Clifton/Redland areas and beyond and one of the few that represent the buyer and seller with quality. Highly recommend Pete Sharland.

We bought our new home through Richard Harding and the service was excellent from start to finish. They were extremely responsive, knowledgeable about the process and really helpful when we hit a couple of hitches in the process. We felt like we were dealing with individuals who cared. We would have no hesitation using them again next time we buy or sell.
