Lindsay Rollo - September 2022
"I have had experience of Howard Independent Estate Agency since 2017: first to rent me a flat and manage the rental whilst I was a tenant, then in the purchase of a flat, the management of it whilst I rented it out and finally in the sale of the flat. Whatever the circumstances, I have received the most professional service throughout, from Chris in Rentals, Josh in Let Management and Rachel and Jo in Sales. All queries have always been answered promptly and efficiently and the periodic newsletters have contained information that I, as a novice landlord, found very useful. In particular and most recently, Rachel has kept me up to date on the progress of the flat sale, nudging all parties along as she was aware I was hoping for a speedy completion. Which has happened exactly on target. Thank you Howard. Three cheers for the independent agency on the High Street."
ZHANGPING ZHAO - September 2022
"My first agency when I move to UK. The staffs there are so nice. Chris is always patient to me during the whole renting since I am not familiar with the workflow here. I would like to say thanks for your patience and professional attitude."
Samantha Waterhouse - September 2022
"I bought my flat from Howard's Estate agents, and was so impressed with the service I used them again to sell my property. All the staff were fabulous, but Rachel was my main port of call and managed both parties even when inevitable challenges arose. We all wanted a quick turnaround and that is what we got. Everybody moved on time and we are all in our new properties within a short space of time. It definitely isn't the easiest of jobs. Thanks Howard, Rachel and the rest of the team"
Fred Barton - August 2022

Ermes Giavarini - August 2022

EPC Wilkinson - July 2022
"We recently purchased our first home through Howard Estate Agents. Howard, Rachel and the rest of the team were all friendly, helpful, and highly professional, and worked with us to get the purchase through as quickly and smoothly as possible. We were never left feeling 'out of the loop' as Rachel kept us updated, as well as being very responsive and proactively chasing the vendor's solicitors whenever needed. The gift of a bottle of crémant when we completed was a lovely touch too! Thanks all."
Jane Cross - June 2022
"I used Howard to sell my flat recently. Howard understood completely the unique selling points of the flat and got the pricing right so that there wasn't an unnecessary volume of viewings but enough to sell it quickly. Rachel was very helpful in moving the sales process along and ensured that there were no avoidable delays. My husband also used Howard to sell his house 2 years ago and had an equally great experience. I can honestly say that I thoroughly recommend Howard Estate Agents."
Frederic Lamy - June 2022
"I was glad Rachel managed the sale of the apartment we just bought. She had been really helpful, communication by email was really easy. Thank you Rachel and the team."
A Kathrani - June 2022
"I have used Howard Estate Agents in Bristol for both letting and eventual sale of my flat. Both the lettings and sales team have been absolutely fantastic!! Firstly, on the lettings side, Josh has always been very professional, timely with responses and excellent with communication. He has made renting my flat incredibly stress-free at all times. Rachel in the sales team has been absolutely brilliant. She is very professional, knowledgeable, personable, very prompt with communication and just overall an incredible agent. I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend using Howard Estates for both lettings and sales."

Dinesh - April 2022
"Recently, I moved to Bristol for a new job. It was very challenging to find a decent rental house to live here. I spent almost a month but didn't succeed. One day I received an email from Howard Independent Estate Agents to visit a property. I met Chris Baker at the property and I told him about my struggle in finding an accommodation. After a few days I got confirmation that the property is allocated to me. I am sure that Chris made a special effort for me. Rest of the paperwork was a very easy process. My experience with the agency, Chris and other agents was wonderful. I highly recommend their services to any person looking for a house."
Vadim Novikov - April 2022
"We used the service of "Howard Independent Real Estate Agents" to find and rent housing for us. We were satisfied with the service and support of a specialist named Chris, who accompanied the entire process from finding housing to signing the contract. Separately, I liked the IT integration with a convenient personal account, which allowed us to conclude a contract remotely and not spend a lot of time on it for meetings."
Mr & Mrs Trump - March 2022
"Chris was extremely efficient in the letting of our property and the whole process was made easy. It took less than a week from start to finish. We received regular updates and would use them again."

Mehmet Agop - March 2022
"We just bought a flat in Clifton through Howard. The process was all smooth, most communication was by email, staff were friendly and efficient. They accommodated our request to see the flat once again whilst we were waiting for the completion. We used the solicitor and surveyor they recommended -- again both were efficient."
Margaret Burgess – March 2022
"Rachel was thoroughly helpful during the whole process, dealing with purchaser’s queries promptly. Howards went above and beyond to keep us informed of the sales progress of our own apartment and down the chain. "

William Weatherill - March 2022
"I was highly recommended to make contact with Howard’s after a lack lustre experience with the previous letting agent to find new tenants for my property. Chris took care of the whole process with complete efficiency and professionalism. I would recommend speaking with Chris if either a tenant or landlord. My new tenants told me that they also had a very positive experience with Chris and team at Howard’s - which was especially important as all communication had to be done by phone and email, as these tenants were previously based in Cheshire."
Francis Pounder - February 2022
"One month ago the sale of my Flat in Bristol was completed. Howard estate agents (Bristol) rose to the challenge of finding a suitable buyer! It wasn't easy. But, all the efforts of the sales team, especially Rachel, lead to a successful sale. Howard had successfully let the Flat for the 10 months prior to sale. All round, Howard delivered over the 12 month period. A big thank you to all concerned."

Nikki Price - November 2021
"After dealing with lots of letting agents in my search for a rental in Bristol, Howards had a great property, were very responsive and everything was done within just under 2 weeks. David and Catherine were very helpful and I would definitely recommend Howards to anyone in the future!"

Niall O'Driscoll - November 2021

Vicky Cherry - October 2021
"Chris was amazing and knows I’m a good tenant. At a very scary time trying to find a flat Chris found me the perfect one! I was so impressed and so amazed how quickly it happened. I am so grateful to Chris. Chris helped me 7 years ago and helped me again with this one so I felt in good hands. Bryony I want to say has also been amazing x I think Howard Homes is a great Estate Agent and I was very happy always with them. Absolutely no complaints at all. "

Tamar Nicholson - September 2021
"I can not fault Howard at all. They are very quick to respond and work tirelessly so that all parties are kept informed. We are buying from Howard and therefore they received no fee from us but all staff were kind and helpful with particular mention to Rachel Smith who could not have been more helpful when we were repeatedly let down by the service of our solicitors. If we move again, whenever that may be, I very much hope Howard will take our sale."
Gen Cox - September 2021
"We've recently completed on our house sale with Howard's. They have made a stressful process easier! Weve worked mostly with Howard and Rachel although Jo and Phoebe did a great job on keeping us updated. I had to be home for some viewings during lockdown and so got to hear Rachel do an excellent job of highlighting the features of our home. More recently Chris has also helped us find a rental property quickly and efficiently. Great service."
Lucinda King - September 2021
"Chris Baker was a great help from the start of our process and even when it came time to hand us on to the next stage, he continued to assist where necessary, particularly with our references. Catherine Emery also needs a mention for this particular help too."

"As a tenant managed by Howard for a year, I have only good things to say about the letting side, property managers in particular (my only needed point of contact, thanks Bryony!). Communication was excellent and the fixflo system works well. Normally had same day replies (unless it was after working hours) about any queries. I was apprehensive about being managed by a company instead of by the landlord directly, but the system Howard employs is a great one and would happily rent from them again."
Samantha Parker - July 2021
"Chris and Catherine were amazing, it was all straight forward, quick and easy. They were lovely to speak to and very friendly. I'm very pleased with the service. The whole process was smooth and quickly done. The best experience I've had with a letting agent by far."
Sue Kay - July 2021

"David was so helpful and quick at responding when signing for a property - great service! Thank you."
Tom Page - June 2021
"This is the second time I've used Howard and I have to say the experience was once again exceptional. Their knowledge of the Bristol market is superior to others we spoke to leading to an accurate and fair valuation. They have a great network of people so very quickly secured us 16 viewings, guiding us every step of the way. They were a great sounding board in picking the best (might i say not highest) offer and their aftercare service between exchange and completion was excellent. Everyone you speak to in the office is kind, well mannered and motivated to help and even though the team has expanded, you still get that personal service. As you can probably tell, based on my experience I think they are the best Estate Agent in Bristol and would have zero hesitation in recommending them should anyone wish to buy or sell a home in the Bristol area."
Helen Skinner - June 2021
"We have just completed the sale of our flat through Howard’s and I have nothing but praise for the professionalism of the team at Howard’s, especially Howard and Rachel. We were kept informed throughout the process, receiving honest and helpful feedback after each viewing, and any queries I had were responded to promptly and considerately. Rachel liaised with the respective solicitors to ensure that everything was proceeding smoothly. I would not hesitate to recommend Howard’s."
Georgia Thomas - May 2021
"Our experience with Howard has been overall very good. We found a property we wanted to rent and Chris and the Howard team were extremely professional, responsive and friendly from the beginning to hand over and Chris and his team were extremely professional and responsive, allowing for a speedy turn over from handover to move in. There were no hidden fees, something we really appreciated. Many thanks to Chris and the Howard team."
J.S - May 2021
"Thank you Howard, Rachel and Jo. Your service was excellent and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone and everyone."
Annabel Saunders - May 2021
"I would not hesitate to recommend Howard as an Estate Agent. Having successfully sold one flat through them 18 months ago, we have just completed the sale of another. On both occasions the service has been outstanding. From the first meeting, after every viewing and through from offer to completion the communication is excellent. The team are very proactive and work extremely hard for both the seller and buyer ensuring that any bumps in the road are successfully navigated. In particular Rachel works tirelessly and cheerfully throughout the whole process. It is a pleasure to work with Howard and the team, they deliver a truly professional customer service."
Jamie Lovell - April 2021
"Very professional and helpful all the way through from viewing a property to renting. Highly recommend."
Liz Burrett - April 2021
"The service we have received from Howard Homes in Bristol has been second to none. The professionalism of the team is outstanding. We have dealt with many estate agencies in our time, both lettings and sales, and Howard Homes has been by far the best. Rachel in sales must have a special mention; she has worked tirelessly for us and nothing has ever been too much trouble; I believe also our buyers have also found her extremely helpful and available. Nothing has been too much trouble. Similarly for a period we let our home, and Josh Thorne was also superb - patient, diligent, polite and responsive. Rachel, Josh and Howard completely counter the age old stereotype about unpopular estate agents and we would without hesitation, recommend them to anyone buying, selling, renting or letting."
Jeremy Greaves - April 2021
"All staff members at Howard are very prompt, responsive and professional. Howard in particular was excellent at sorting things out when we had a few minor problems with the chain. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and his team to others"
Charlie Underwood - April 2021
"Great service; friendly, responsive and reliable. I've been a tenant for years with various agents, and with Howard for the past few years since they took over from CJ Hole. What a difference! Particularly worth mentioning is Bryony Jones - what a revelation! I didn't know estate agents could actually be so professional and proactive. Brilliant."
Tim Hardiman - April 2021
"Very friendly and professional staff, Rachel helped us through the buying process and made it all very simple."
Judith Alejandra funez Castejon - April 2021
"Absolutely great service, since the first moment Chris Baker was very helpful, professional, during the whole process. They follow Covid regulations to show you the places and also in their facilities."
Rob Pitcher - April 2021
"Our relationship with Howard goes back 10 years when he helped us buy our flat in Bristol. Subsequently with changes in our circumstances Howard and his firm, Howard Homes were our preferred agents both for renting and then selling our flat in Redland. Honor Magor and her team in lettings managed the letting both efficiently and effectively which was a great help as we live in Cornwall. Rachel Smith, in sales, helped us immensely in an calm and professional manner guiding the sale forward. I would strongly recommend Howard Homes to others"
Jennifer Dytham - March 2021
"Rachel Smith has once again been exceptional. Thank you Rachel!"

"OUTSTANDING service from Rachel at Howards. She was amazing at keeping us up to date and also at getting back to any queries we had. We would not use anyone else now...thank you"
Mo Walliker - March 2021
"Howard Independent Estate Agents managed the easiest house move I've ever had. It was my first rental home with my partner, which, during Covid-19, was incredibly stressful from the get-go. The agent showed us the property on such short notice, and before we had left had organised to send us over the paperwork that very same evening. Our agent was Chris Baker, and I really can't stress enough how helpful, kind, encouraging and prompt he was with everything, even checking back in on us after our move in date to make sure we were happy in the property which was a really nice, genuine touch. He was also incredibly helpful in talking us through new guidelines and options for those on furlough pay, which my partner and I have both been on for a year now, and most other estate agents and landlords had turned their nose up at- just awful for young renters, given that the hospitality industry was hit especially hard by this pandemic. Chris didn't make any such judgements, and showed real empathy with how hard finding a home is in this difficult time. From viewing the property to receiving the keys, and all the referencing and payments in-between, the whole process was over and done with in just over a week. The best estate agents in Bristol, and once again, shout out to Chris Baker for making this such an easy experience- really a silver lining in what has been a troublesome year. Thanks again to all involved!"
Conor - March 2021
"The service provided by Howard estate agents was excellent, couldn't say a bad word. Our agent Chris; a great guy, very helpful and made everything transition smoothly. Highly recommend."
Rob - March 2021
"Howard Estate Agents were really helpful and working with them was a joy. Rachel was my estate agent and she listened, kept me updated and helped the whole process go smoothly. Thank you for all your hard work. Everyone I met at Howard were great and I strongly recommend working with them."
Francis Pounder - March 2021
"All the members of staff that have been involved in this let, either directly or indirectly have provided an excellent service, thank you. My total experience with Howard has been excellent so far. Looking forward, We have a long way to go in respect of more lets and sales."
Jane Osbourne - March 2021
"I thought Rachel was excellent definitely helped by chasing things up and keeping them moving and the letting staff have all been very helpful. I have found Howards very helpful and professional. "
Alyssa Scriver - March 2021
"Working with Howard has been excellent. We've worked with a handful of other letting agencies since moving to Bristol a few years back, and Howard was easily the best experience to date. They were prompt with communication, thorough on steps throughout the process, and just generally a pleasure to work with. Would absolutely recommend to others!"
Isabel Greenslade - March 2021
"Tara & Vicki, Now that we have all emerged blinking from a long dark tunnel, I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much William & I appreciate all that you have both done.

In short, not only do you perform your job to a high standard, you are very nice people to deal with. "

"Rachel Smith at Howard Homes helped us with the rapid sale of our Bristol apartment, in record time in the middle of a pandemic... To pull this off, in record time, everything had to be in order, signed and shared in a timely fashion and a single glitch would have jeopardized the process. But there wasn't a single glitch and the sale went from viewing to exchange and completion in 3 weeks..."

The process with extremely quick and efficient and the communication throughout the sale by Rachel was outstanding - the best we have received from an agent (and we have dealt with a lot). We only wish that we had used Howard Homes from the go instead of wasting 6 months with another agent!"

I would highly recommend their services to any landlord or tenant."
Bill - September 2019
"The whole team at Howard have been fantastic. You can always get through to someone, and they respond promptly to your calls and questions. The real mark of a professional team is when things don't always happen the way you planned - and having 2 house sales fall through, the team at Howard - and particularly Rachel Smith - re-doubled their efforts to find a new buyer and ensure that we got the sale completed. It was a pleasure working with them and I fully recommend them - you can trust them and have confidence that they will deliver what they say they will do."

Nicole - August 2019

Would 10/10 recommend."

I would mention Vincent though who I haven't worked with but when I was let down by my own carpet cleaner gave me a contact of his own and told me to mention his name to get the job done. Vincent went above and beyond his job and really reduced my stress. Hassle free and professional outfit whose staff work together to get the job done well. Thank you, good to come across well run companies. The best agency that I've worked with. The other person to mention is Chris Baker who responds at all times well outside office hours. He is personable but professional and clearly committed to his job going that extra mile to sort customers queries."
