Ross Burton at Balgores Romford sold my flat in Romford in record time. Not only did he find my buyer at the price I wanted he helped progress my purchase as the agent was not very proactive. This whole team go above and beyond to make sure their client is moved and kept at ease at all times. Communication is second to none. Outstanding agent that I would definitely recommend.

TrustpilotFantastic service from start to finish
We have nothing but praise for all the team at Balgores. Over the past few years we have tried to sell our home with other agents to no avail so we thought we would give Balgores a go.We had between 25 and 30 viewers over for weeks and ended up with three potential buyers and a bidding war between two of them.However, that's when Balgores hard work started. We accepted an offer from one of the bidders and were in a chain of six, in the middle of the pandemic with stricter lockdowns on the horizon. The chain almost collapsed when one of the houses in the chain was significantly revalued. Throw in a couple of completely incompetent solicitors and difficulty finding removal companies and, overall, it was very stressful and difficult process.From engaging Balgores to sell the house right through to 'moving day' all the team were extremely polite, hardworking and professional. Many many thanks to everyone at Balgores who we would certainly recommend

TrustpilotBalgores SWF
We were considering using an on-line agent, but we are now glad we didn't. We sold through Balgores during covid, having completed our sale in November. They were very professional and carried out our viewings for us. Their service was excellent, always available by both telephone and email, and it was convenient to pop into their offices should the occasion arise. We would like to thank Tom and Craig for their expertise and guiding us through the sale transaction, and we would also like to thank Marie who dealt with the completion of our sale. They all went beyond their roles, and we are very grateful.

TrustpilotAll round excellent service - Balgores Romford
From start to finish the service provided by Gavin and team at Balgores Romford was excellent! From the first instruction to sell our property, the service was fantastic with regular updates reducing all the stresses that are associated with moving houses. Gavin put everything into Layman's terms and what really impressed us was the speed and efficiency of the process. Top quality photography was followed by numerous viewings and we were delighted with the amount of interest generated in such a short amount of time. All of this organised so carefully in the midst of a pandemic. The regular updates whether about viewings, offers or progress of the sale legalities, we always felt well informed from Gavin and the team.I would highly recommend Balgores Romford and would not hesitate to use their services again!

I have had a really tough time searching for my perfect property in a reasonable budget. When I contacted Balgores the agent Curtis was very knowledgeable of the market and helped me find my dream home. I would recommend Curtis to anyone searching for a new home.

TrustpilotTop quality estate agent service
I bought a lovely 3 bed semi with my partner. We wanted a home which was close to everything we needed with a fairly big garden for our 3 dogs and parking for 2 cars. Curtis at Balgores was ever so helpful from start to finish, He was available to talk at any point during the day, I know this as I had a panic moment about the price and called him at 8:30pm at home and he was happy to hear from us and gave us all the help and advice we needed. His team at Balgores kept us in the loop with updates about every step of the buying process, something that we’ve not received when using other estate agents in the past. If I look to ever sell my home, il definitely be looking to use Balgores as my agent as I was so impressed with the service.

TrustpilotAfter dealing with a different agent… Balgores to the Rescue!
After dealing with a different agent for over 3 months and only managed to get one viewing, we reached out to Balgores Romford who turned this around got us multiple viewings and sold our property within 10 days.We dealt with Ross Burton at Balgores who was very professional and supportive throughout the entire process. Ross helped find and secure our new property which we have moved into this week.I would highly recommend Balgores Property if you want to get your property sold/bought.Thanks again for everything.

TrustpilotFinding a new home
Finding a new homeFinding a new home is hard enough, especially with the pandemic we are in and all the uncertainty. The team in Romford Lettings made this an absolute dream to do. The boiler cut out and the property management team sent an engineer that day who managed to get it all up and running. Cannot recommend enough
