I would really recommend Ashtons as an estate agent. I've rented a property through them and their 'after-sales' service has been as good as the initial help during my property search. They walk you through everything clearly and are always pleasant. Thanks especially to Chloe and Sophie for their above and beyond service!

Professional but at the same time able to balance that with a considerate and caring demeanour. Onboard feedback and able to guide both the buyer and seller with both parties interests at heart. Attentive, respond very quickly and keeps the buyer appraised and updated as the process evolved.

Significantly overpromised and underdelivered, quoting a higher sale price than other agents but once we had signed their contract suggesting we reduce the price as it was unachievable. Post-sale support was responsive and very good

Some will agree that there is no such thing as perfection. Ashtons agent Charlotte Kennedy proved those ones wrong. Perfection is the word to describe her attitude, work and dedication.

If I could give 0 star review, I would. I've been an estate agent for 10 years and have never seen a more chaotic exchange and completion. I bought via Ashtons, but certainly won't be selling with them. I am embarrassed by the experience.

Negative reviews are a rarity for Ashtons so we can only assume these comments related to a recent delayed completion. As such, please accept our apologies again with regards to this and the delay on your move into your new home. As we … More
