Some client feedback


"A huge THANK YOU for all your work with us on the property. I know we were a pain to deal with sometimes, but please know that we appreciated everything you did for us."

"Thank you Ann, as always you have taken very good care of my issues and if you and your company ever need a personal recommendation please use me as a very satisfied customer."




"As a first experience in relocating and new hire from the UK to Montreal, I truly appreciated the extensive knowledge that was shared with us and the hands-on approach taken to ensure that this transaction was as smooth sailing as possible. From a business point of view the delivery of your product was completed in a prompt and timely done manner. In closing, I believe that Ann's professionalism and experience was key in making this transaction a successful one for both Air Canada and our transferee."

"Ann was very professional and supportive. If I had not had her assistance with this relocation I don't know how I would have managed."





"Shelagh was outstanding, we very much appreciated her support, patience and guidance."

"Saunders1865 helped Inbal and me immensely last week. We ended up finding a house and a school."



"Ann Disdale and Grace Sisto both did a fantastic job in supporting my relocation from USA to London. Both Ann and Grace were attentive to my needs, very easy to work with and responsive to all of my inquiries. They were helpful in setting my expectations for the relocation from neighborhood selection, property search, home tour, lease negotiation and final settling in. I appreciate all of the hard work and positive energy they both put into the process. Only item I would note for improvement would be my unique request for inclusion of Internet Broadband, TV and phone service into the contract. Ann was quick to support and negotiate this unique request into the agreement but the process changed post lease signing. No problem as all is covered in the end. As I mention above, I am very happy with the work Ann and Grace performed in support of my relocation. Thanks to all."

"I would like to use my new found British terms like smashing, brilliant and extraordinary to describe Saunders 1865. Thanks for a job well done. I appreciate your support through this process, it was a big help and eased the transition considerably."



"Kerry and Ann were very helpful, supportive and attentive. The situation was a bit challenging, but they remained professional and provided excellent service. Overall I am a satisfied customer."



"We could not have moved to the UK in a timely fashion without Saunders 1865 help. We are deeply appreciative of their efforts at all stages of my family's relocation. The money spent to use the a relocation specialist was money well spent. Anna Davison was helpful and more importantly patient throughout the process. We owe a great deal of our stress-free move to her."

"We have been delighted to have you help us with our transition. I don't know how we could have done it without your tremendous efforts."



"Excellent job finding quality options within budget and location. Linda did a great job driving us around and knew the procedures for making offers. I would recommend using Saunders 1865 again."

"We have truly enjoyed our experience with your company. Everything has been handled in a timely and professional manner. Whenever questions have arisen, they have been answered thoroughly and promptly. Thank you so much for your part in making this a positive move."



"The support was outstanding. Anna Davison was extremely professional and Peter was very helpful and fun to be with during our house hunting tour."



"Ann Dinsdale was a pleasure to work with throughout my property search. She remained very positive and helpful during a difficult search for property meeting my expectations. In her absence, Anna Davidson also provided very prompt and professional service. Many thanks to both of them for helping me during this transition."



"The properties visited were matching my search expectations probably between 75-85%. The staff availability and competence was to the higher standard I could have expected. Their feedback and follow up on every potential property was perfect. Beyond the global professionalism of every individual I have been in touch with, I felt every one was really concerned with helping me in relocating my family over London and specifically with making sure I was feeling safe and completely satisfied. Mandy and Kerry have been reliable and efficient professional at every step. I would like to mention how much Ann Dinsdale has been personnally involved in making this task the most precise and efficient for me. Above her genuine daily involvement, her market knowledge, her kindness and patience facing my evolving requests, her professionalism have made all this process much simpler and even enjoyable. If everyone moving to London would have Ann for agent, every relocation would just be a pleasure."

"I enjoyed, even in the bad days, having you as my relocation agent. I would like to take this occasion to thank for your permanent availability and concern about finding my best possible relocation."



"Thanks for everything you did for us. Dealing with you was a pleasure. You make us feel at home already!"



"Ann, you are the absolute best. Many thanks for your patience and dedication"



"Great job with the complex bureaucratic house hunting in the form-plagued UK market! Thanks for simplifying and negotiating an excellent tenancy agreement on my behalf."

"Excellent coordination of property viewings, both pre-planned and managing daily changes. Very professional from both the office and during showings. Very helpful in setting up utilities."



"Many thanks again for the excellent help in relocating my family back to England."

"Christine was a delight to work with, a real credit to Saunders."



"Excellent all round. Relocation visit proved extremely useful and has saved me so much time in my search. Thanks to all in your persistence and persuasive approach!"



"My experience with Ann was more than satisfying. She was responsive, professional, communicative, and I as a result, there were no calls from our transferee asking about anything related to your service. WOW! Look forward to doing it again in the future!"



"Excellent service, well informed."



"All communication was done in a professional manner. Having said that, there was a pleasant dash of humour which added nicely to an overall excellent job. Many thanks."

"Excellent work! Couldn't have done it without you! Thank you."



"Thanks for your flexibility and extra support for our flat search this week. It is very much appreciated."



"We worked with Anna and had a very pleasant experience. We had no idea what to expect and she was there for us every step of the way. We had a difficult negotiation the first time around and Anna stood her ground and advised us when it was good to compromise and when it was not. We were desperate for a flat and, if not for Anna, may have ended up in a place where we were unhappy. Fern and Emma were the ones who took me around to look at flats and they were equally as helpful. They made their opinions known without attempting to sway me in any direction. It was clear that they had our best interest in mind. Our experience with Sanders 1865 was a good one and we would recommend them to anyone looking to relocate to London."



"Ann was a wonderful Relocation Consultant! She was able to gauge my needs and knew exactly how much assistance to give me. I couldn't have done this move as well without her"



"Every thing has been well organised and we were happy having worked with you to find a very nice flat. We hope we'll have again the opportunity to contact you if we need it. Thank you very much Linda, Anna and Ann for your help and your professionalism."



"We found dealing with Saunders 1865 very easy and were very pleased with the way in which the sale progressed once Saunders became involved."



"We wanted to thank you for all your help with our move. As with our move over here, your company's help has really made it a smooth transition. I can't imagine doing this without your help.Thanks a lot."



"What could have been a very stressful and difficult experience was made painless and even enjoyable. Tony Coe did an excellent job in negotiating a very difficult lease agreement for us. I would not hesitate in highly recommending Saunders."



"I would like to thank you for the good work that has been done, regarding the sale of our house, especially as we had relocated to the US before the sale was complete. The service that we received was very professional."



"Very organized relocations for both of my clients. I like being able to log on and get notes that counselor put in for that day or phone conversation. Makes my job easier when I can see the information instead of having to call for updates."

"Thanks for your assistance. You all got this together very quickly and efficiently."



"It was great working with you. Thanks for everything!"



"We found your service highly professional and it was a pleasure. You have done an amazing job."



"We worked with Saunders 1865 and received great service; felt like all my questions were answered and plus some. Also great turnaround on questions; I received call backs and items were acted on almost immediately - We worked with 2 different women for our tours Shelagh and Linda. They were both wonderful and we would be happy to work with them again. Thank you for all your help in this process."



"I would like to thank you for the good work that has been done, regarding the sale of our house, especially as we had relocated to the US before the sale was complete. The service that we received was very professional."

"I have been delighted with the service provided by Saunders 1865. I was kept well informed throughout each process regarding the house sale. Especially, I wish to send Ann Dinsdale a big thank you for everything she has done."



"I am delighted with the final outcome - I love the flat and neighbourhood where we settled. Liz were particularly responsive, professional, and diligent. I had a very good experience with Saunders and would recommend it highly."

"Ann was extremely helpful in all aspects of the relocation and I was very pleased with the service. In addition, Ann was very patient with me as I had many questions regarding the relocation. She is extremely nice and fun to work with also! Thank you for a great experience."



"Saunders 1865 were always courteous and on top of things…fantastic! An invaluable help to us!…did much more than help us find a home… a wonderful source of information and a pleasure to work with… we really would have been lost without…your services…we love our new home! Thank you so much!"

"It was a real treat to work with Ann and Adrian. They both went out of their way to assist us. They were prompt, courteous and fun! They made what could have been a nightmare, very smooth and comfortable. Christine was also very helpful while we were still in the States, she put our minds at ease. We can't thank you enough."





"We believe that we had outstanding service from Saunders 1865 throughout the sale of our house in the UK as part of our relocation to the US. In particular, did an excellent job in keeping us informed on all aspects of the sale. We felt confident that Ann was working on our behalf and looking after our best interests."

"We have found the services of Saunders professional and efficient. Ann Dinsdale has a great ability with the 'personal touch' to make us feel that we were important to your organization. Well done and thank you to everyone involved!"



"Anna has been excellent to deal with. She has kept in touch and updated me constantly on the situation with apartments etc. She has helped me understand the purchasing process and helped me find a solicitor and other key people to facilitate the process. Although British, moving back to the Uk after a long absence meant I felt foreign and it was much more comforting to have expert help to find out information and allowed me to find somewhere to settle fast and still get on with the demands of my job."

"The staff has been helpful in making our transition smooth. Responded to e-mails promptly and made us aware of things we had not thought about. Thanks for your help and patience."

"Your follow up and thoroughness is certainly a pleasure!"





"Very professional and helpful. Christine did an excellent job as did Patrick locally. It was a pleasure dealing with them and they made the move a lot easier."

"You have been one of the few services in this process that have been painless! You did a great job, Christine and Ann. Thank you!"



"Excellent communication from Christine Hall and Ann Dinsdale through out the process. There was nothing I did not like about your services."



"Your services were excellent! Ann Dinsdale helped us achieve a reduction in the purchase price. Ann also helped coordinate efforts between all the parties and kept me fully informed of progress. Many thanks for your assistance."



"Moving to another country can be a very stressful and difficult time. The entire team in the Kensington London office were extremely helpful and professional. They made our transition much easier than my wife and I anticipated. They were very responsive to our requests and inquiries and on occasions went out of their normal business hours to accommodate the time difference while we were still in the states. The overall experience with the Saunders team was excellent. Thank You."

"Saunders 1865 great to work with, especially with our changing minds and budgets...always pleasant and helped us with whatever we needed. We truly enjoyed working with her.



"Terrific service from Ann Dinsdale. They were incredibly responsive, thoughtful and informative throughout the process and really came through for us with a difficult landlord and agent. I was particularly impressed with how proactive Ann were. I will strongly recommend Saunders to WPP and my colleagues elsewhere!"

"You did a great job getting the family into the property and especially dealing with the last minute shenanigans with the landlord from hell."



"We have had a very positive experience with your company. The process of finding housing was virtually painless. Thanks to the school search that was conducted up front, finding a school for our two sons was actually a pleasant experience. Anna did a wonderful job. She found someone familiar with the areas surrounding London (Claire), schools for us to visit, worked with the landlords agent, among other tasks - and did all of these in a professional and thorough manner. We always felt that she had our best interests at heart. We would like to thank and all who helped to make this part of our relocation process go so smoothly! You did a fantastic job! "



"Way to go, Ann! You are great to work with."



"Thanks very much for the work done by your team"



"The staff at Saunders 1865 has been very helpful and friendly through this whole process. I could not have made the transition from New York to London without their help at every step of the way. Thanks for everything!!!"



"I was very pleased with the service and professionalism of the staff. Your help was invaluable during my relocation process to the UK and helped me to feel much more comfortable!"

"It was really great to work with Ann Disdale and Anna Davison - both of them were just so helpful and easy-going!"



"I found the relocation service offered by Saunders 1865 extremely helpful. From the initial consultation, Saunders focused on and paid close attention to my family's housing/living criteria (which was quite specific and challenging), and continually provided us with realistic options and excellent advice."

"Throughout the entire relocation process, I had the utmost confidence in the staff and personnel of Saunders which gave me the necessary comfort to re-focus my efforts on meeting the demands of my job. I would personally like to thank Liz and Ann for your high level of expertise and service."





"I found all staff extremely pleasant and helpful, particularly Ann, Jacqui and Christine. I was made aware of all pertinent details in advance, so there were no surprises. My special request to view a couple of flats just to give me a general idea of what to expect was granted without a thought."

"We very much appreciated all the efforts in assisting us in finding this home. Your patience and sense of humour has made this part of our relocation quite enjoyable. Many thanks!"

"My wife and I were treated like valued customers in all aspects."

"Tremendous Service! Enjoyed dealing with everyone."



"I've been extremely pleased with the service provided by , Anna, and then in both of their absences, Ann. I've found everyone very professional, proactive, responsive and customer oriented. It's really been a treat to work with Saunders and I know things would not have gone as smoothly without Saunders help. I also really appreciated the help provided by Shelagh in the home and school location process - she was very instructive and thoughtful about what the best solution for our family."

"We've been very pleased with the support we've received to-date. Right from the first call with Sharman, we felt as though our needs were going to be met in a caring and efficient way. We've presented a few non-traditional needs (like needing adult education advice) and has been very solution-oriented. In addition to lots of follow-up and very good logistics and planning, we've found to be very good at thinking about our whole family - and treating us as a unit rather than just one employee being relocated. I've had experience with other relocation agents in the past, and Saunders has far exceeded that experience. Finally, we spent five days with Shelagh and found her extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and willing to help us sort through big decisions without over-imposing (which is a tricky balance). All in all - ten out ten so far!!! "

Even though the school availability was quite restrictive I feel I received excellent advice from regarding the options before us. Her forethought was very much appreciated. We never could have met our aggressive schedule without the assistance of and Saunders 1865."

"Your company did an awesome job in servicing our transferee and his family with their move to the UK. We appreciate all the time and effort you put into making this move a success."



"The services that I received from Saunders were good. was always willing to talk to me and help me out when necessary and she was a real life saver in deciphering the 20 page contract that came with my 12 month lease!  Peter who showed me around Cambridge was fantastic - he knew the area and was able to show me some other spots while we were touring Cambridge. The service was excellent! Thanks!"


"Ann Dinsdale is the best and always a delight to deal with! She does an excellent job of keeping me informed and stays on top of all my properties in process. Her always upbeat , friendly attitude is a breath of fresh air that has brightened my day on many a day. She is very knowledgeable , always willing to share her expertise, a true professional.

"I have found the service to be generally excellent........Your service has reduced my workload considerably and I would highly recommend that we continue our association with your company for future requirements."

"I found your service invaluable in assisting me and my family finding a school for our children and a short term property for the month of January. It is always a very difficult thing to do with the overwhelming number of schools to choose from and finding a short term furnished property in an outer suburb is always going to be an issue."

"The representatives at Saunders, specifically Ann Dinsdale and Anna Davison, went above and beyond the call of duty to secure our home in the UK. Persevering through multiple set backs, stops and starts, and various levels of renegotiation the team was able to walk the fine line between my organization and the landlord ensuring that all parties were well informed throughout the process. During the process I looked to Saunders for their experience and advise and was not disappointed. My thanks to the entire team for seeing this process through to a successful completion, it has made a world of difference to myself and my family as we settle in to a new country."

"I also wanted to let you know that Linda was amazing yesterday. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and patient."




"We found Jane's approach to house-hunting very relaxed as well as professional. We particularly appreciated the fact that she was open and honest in her dealing with us offering suggestions but never imposing her personal opinions on us. We are very happy in our new UK home. Jane is a valuable asset to Saunders, and we enjoyed the time we spent with her very much."

"By far the most pleasant relocation we have done. You will always have my highest recommendation!"



"I have been pleased beyond words with the service and personal touch your staff has shown during this move. Anna has been especially patient with me as I tend to forget and ask the same questions over and over and over, she just answers them like it was the first time I asked. This is a big step for us and everyone has really been supportive and very, very responsive to our requests, no matter what we have asked. I praise your company every time I get the chance. And I am going to demand that you help me when I close down my stay here in London to return. I must mention this, when we went looking for a house, it was more than just a house, the area had to be right, the children had to be happy in the school that we choose. And as we interviewed the schools and picked one, then the fun began, find a house. As we looked, we fed back info to Anna, and the next batch of houses were closer to what we wanted and then the next batch even better. That really impressed my wife and I"



"You've been great! Anna and Mandy, thanks for your perseverance with helping me find a flat!"

"I recently utilized the services of Saunders 1865 in finding a London flat. I would like to take a moment convey to you how pleased I am with the services of Saunders 1865 and the professionalism and assistance of your employees - with specific emphasis on Anna Davison. She was a fantastic advisor and routinely exceeded my expectations. I'm certainly one of the more picky house-hunters and she and her team were diligent and thorough in scouring the marketplace for acceptable flats. In addition, their follow-up once the lease was negotiated and I had moved in was also quite helpful. Thanks for providing such a great service.!"

"Thank you for your kind help especially after the tenancy agreement stage. We really did appreciate learning about details we would not have otherwise known about the taxation issues, the utilities and other topics from you."



"Ann & Anna were fantastic. Always responsive & helpful, they really made my relocation process much easier and when I ran into issues with my original choice, they made me feel much more comfortable about the very difficult situation. Thank you both very very much!!!"
