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.

Jdeaconh · 22 April 2022 · Ashtons Estate Agency Welwyn Garden City

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

5 star local agent. Biggest portfolio of properties for sale in Welwyn and outstanding customer service of the staff. They always go the extra mile to let clients feel they do matter. I had a pleasure being helped by Laila, Olivia and Stephen who have always treated me like a friend. Absolutely recommended!!!

While Ashtons were not employed in selling my property, they were responsible for the property I was purchasing. Lucy Gadsby was excellent throughout and provided excellent communication, updates and was always proactive in pushing things through to completion. You could tell that this is a well run estate agents.

This rating is mainly for Kirsty Twydell (individual), people make companies, Kirsty works within the letting department, though I have been underwhelmed by the service I received from the lettings department specifically the (management) which resulted in my decision to use an alternative company, I only wish Kirsty was involved when I tried complaining and asked that we come to an amicable solution on the pricing/management fees, this never happened, resulting in me terminating my contract and moving on to an online platform which cost me less than 10% of what Ashtons lettings had charged me, plus this property was let within a week of my advert, my decision to leave Ashtons has saved me over £1k of fees. Thank u Kirsty for helping make my leaving process less painful. Disclaimer: My complaint does NOT relate to the Redbourn sales office which I have used for over 10years, they are still by far the best letting agent in the village/ county.

From start to finish, professional, efficient, honest and straight talking. This is my second year with Ashton. Jamie and young Alexander have been deailing for my rent property and they have been brilliant. They tell you what should be done, tell you when and how it will be done, and deliver. Can’t fault them.
