A wonderfully impressive team that go above & beyond.

A wonderfully impressive team that went above and beyond - they were personable, knowledgeable, professional and ensured a seamless and positive experience from start to finish and even after we were given the keys to our new home. Tracey had taken the time to know what sort of house we wanted and where, which lead to her notifying us as soon as our now home came to market - we will be forever grateful. Debbie was so helpful in letting us view the property twice and accommodating the times we were on the island. Hannah was so friendly and professional keeping us informed every step of the way and responding in such a positive and open manner to every email and phone call we made. What can be a very stressful process was made more than manageable because of their whole team approach. Thank you so much, Natalie and Jonnie.

Far more than just an agent

Buying a waterfront property on the Isle of Wight was a long road, and there were moments when it felt like it might not come together. Duncan Willard stayed with us every step of the way, working hard to get the best possible result for his client and never letting up when things got difficult. What made the real difference, though, was how much he gave beyond the deal itself: advice on comparable properties, local suppliers, and everything we needed to understand to make the purchase work in practice. He didn't have to do any of that. He just did. Genuinely one of those rare agents who leaves you feeling looked after rather than just sold to. Couldn't recommend him more highly.

Spence Willard did an excellent job

Spence Willard did an excellent job for us in selling our property. The initial advice was sound, the approach professional and the property was put to market quickly. In a challenging market, Spence Willard went the extra mile to get a sale through and were in constant contact.
Would have no hesitation in using them again.

Rare and unusual property

We listed a rather rare and unusual property with Spence Willard, and they shared our enthusiasm about getting it to market at a fair price. Philip, Bronte and every member of the Cowes team did a fantastic job marketing the house. The brochure was spectacular, and attracted over 25 viewings before being sold to the perfect family. Thank you so much, and we are engaging the team once again for other sales and purchases.

Positive experience

I would like to thank Spence Willard (Bembridge), especially Hannah, who guided us through a difficult period when selling our parents property. Her professionalism enabled us to receive a positive experience, providing a high level of care and attention throughout. We were kept informed with extensive feedback after each viewing, resulting in a completion of sale. I would highly recommend engaging Spence Willard if placing your property on the market.

David at Spence Willard is excellent

David at Spence Willard is excellent, the whole team in fact could not be more helpful from weekly updates during our purchase to little niggles that needed ironing out.

If you need weekly comms and constant rolling feedback David is the man you need. Would rate 6 of 5 if i could.

A very positive experience and would highly recommend

Have recently purchased a property in Cowes and received an outstanding service from the Spence Willard team. Particular thanks to Bronte Ramsey who oversaw the transaction, showed great pro-activity and attention to detail, addressing potential glitches straight away. Bronte quickly understood the psyche of both parties, making the process very smooth and personable. A very positive experience and would highly recommend.

A cut above the rest

So pleased was I with the communication and service of Philip Weeks at Spence Willard, that I feel the need to leave a review stating just how good he is, and by proxy Spence Willard have been. These were not even our own agent, but the agent at the top of the chain in our buying experience. After months of chasing for updates with the various agents and solicitors involved, I was finally put into contact with Mr Weeks at Spence Willard, and immediately we gained some clarity on our ongoing and frustrating situation. The whole time dealing with Mr Weeks was an absolute pleasure and I can't recommend him and his professionalism enough. If every person within the purchase of a house was as good as him, the whole buying and selling of a house would be so much less stressful!

Thank you Bronte!

Our experience with Spence Willard and Bronte was brilliant. Bronte has wonderful passion and care. We originally met her when viewing another house and were so impressed we decided to sell through Spence Willard. The whole process was made as easy as it could be with regular communication throughout. Very much appreciated, and although we have no plans on moving again any time soon, we would definitely use them again!

Spence Willard Estate Agents were outstanding from start to finish. Despite what turned into a very difficult and stressful chain, they remained calm, proactive, and completely on top of everything throughout. Communication was clear and consistent, and they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep all parties aligned and the process moving forward. When the chain became a nightmare, Spence Willard truly held everything together. We couldn’t have asked for better support and would highly recommend them.

During the spring of 2025 we decided to sell our home. For us this was a daunting task as the house was grade 2 listed as well as being a unique property.
We contacted Spence Willard via there Cowes office to arrange a valuation. Charles Spence visited us and within an hour we felt very comfortable with his appraisal of the property along with his Market valuation of our home. We instructed Charles to progress with the sale preparation at the earliest opportunity. We were delighted with the whole process leading up to the sale going live.
The property portfolio that was made available to the public both on line and in hard copy was first class.
The service that we received from Spence Willard from the very start to the day of completion was very professional. A special mention for Emma Bradley whose support throughout the sale was invaluable.

Professional, transparent and thorough

A transparent, professional and common sense approach made a very complex transaction far less stressful than it might otherwise have been. We really appreciated Emma's efforts throughout the nine month process - and always felt that Spence Willard were fair and thorough in all their dealings with both parties. I have previously sold a property through SW and knew they were entirely honest and straightforward in their dealings with vendors and purchasers alike. I also rented with them for a six month period between house sale/purchase, for which I used their Yarmouth office, and the process was great for that too. We would highly recommend Spence Willard as your "go to" agent for the Isle of Wight.

Great experience!

This was our first time selling a house and Spence Willard made it a very easy experience. Any questions or queries were immediately answered.
David was our argent for selling our old house and buying the new property and he couldn’t have been more helpful.
It really was a seamless experience.
Thank you!
