Symonds & Sampson Reviews 

Symonds and Sampson are excellent, we worked with Daniel Magee in the Bridport office as well as Tara and Isobella - all were excellent - friendly, professional and efficient. They found a great buyer for our house and then progressed the move, helping at every step.
I can't recommend them highly enough.

An agent came to value my property and after a long and off topic conversation, I wasn't given a price, not even an idea. Instead, the focus was on what I had paid for the place, and what wasn't quite right with it. The visit was a waste of time, and I can only assume that S&S are doing so well, that they do not need to worry

Great estate agent to deal with, very helpful made a stressful process go
with ease. Would use again, staff were
friendly and quick to respond to issues.

I visited several properties being marketed via auctions by Symonds and Sampson over the past 4 months or so, finally being successful in a purchase via their auction in late October 2025.

All the staff I met, liaised with over the telephone and spoke with during the period between auction hammer coming down and sale completion occurring were unfailingly courteous, helpful and knowledgeable about a process (purchase via auction) which many people are pretty unfamiliar with.

Arranging a visit with my architect was seamless with S&S respecting the needs of both buyer and seller in how they managed gaining access to the property.

I hope to continue a relationship with the members of the firm.

Jeremy, Vicky, Cheryl and the team are experienced and supportive. They are well informed about current market trends, provide a friendly service and excellent communications throughout the process. Highly recommended.

Lorna Wyatt has been managing my two rental properties (one commercial, one residential) for many years. I could not ask for a more professional, competent, conscientious, hard-working and proactive manager. She is highly intelligent with a gift for solving problems and her excellent people skills, sense of fairness and integrity mean that she commands the respect of everyone she deals with. She is also a thoroughly lovely person!

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!

Competent, knowledgeable, efficient & friendly staff made my house purchase a straightforward process. Great communication & empathetic to the whole house buying experience. What a fabulous team at Symonds & Sampson. Thank you Georgie you are a diamond!
I highly recommend this estate agent.

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.

We are very pleased with the services provided by our Managing Agents, Symonds & Sampson (Poundbury) during the first year of their contract appointment. Under the capable leadership of our primary contact, Lorna Wyatt and her dedicated team, they have proven to be an excellent choice for the management of our apartment building.

Communication has been consistently prompt, efficient and conducted with the utmost professionalism. Lorna has demonstrated a proactive and responsive approach in addressing any matters arising, helping to ensure the smooth and effective operation of the building.

We are delighted to recommend the services of Symonds & Sampson, Poundbury.

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.
