I spoke to Sean at the Chelmsford Balgores lettings office who was extremely friendly and helpful. He arranged a viewing within short notice and was very informative when we met at the flat. Thankyou so much Sean for your help today, you have made me feel more confident about finding a home to rent.

We used Balgores to find and secure a rental flat and have been pleased with their service so far. Mark C has proved attentive, responsive and easy to deal with. Fingers crossed this continues throughout the period of our tenancy.

We received excellent service from start to finish from Balgores Upminster. Reece and Chris were both very helpful throughout. We look forward to working with you again!

Called twice to view a property, rude and short on the phone when trying to obtain basic information about the lease and charges etc, was told I would receive a call with regards to a viewing, was never even phoned, called back to ask again and was told someone would get back to me but no one did, overall substandard service and wouldn't reccomended. What it looks like was happening was they was keeping the place back for a specific person and not letting anyone else get a look in possibly for a little drink or something to a local investor or developer. Won't be using as my agents for as long as I live in swf, will stick with church and hawes

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Balgores from 2019-2020, handling the sale of our property. During what can only be described as an incredibly challenging time (Brexit then Covid19 pandemic), Balgores kept working hard on the sale, engaging with us at every step and handling all the queries and challenges arising from the sale of a property. Definitely have to shout out for Sarah Oakley for simply being amazing in the final stages of the property sale, keeping us updated and chasing when things slowed down, Allanah Buckroyd for all the efforts in finding our buyers and supporting us to a mutually satisfactory conclusion - as well as the ever friendly and supportive team in Chelmsford. A great team, and definitely one I would happily suggest anyone use to handle a property sale professionally and diligently. Thank you!!! Mr & Mrs Cameron

Balgores Property Chelmsford are great…
Balgores Property Chelmsford are great to deal with. You are regularly kept in touch with what is happening. My Dad died and I had the hard task of selling his flat after 40 years of him living there. The team were brilliant and really listened and took great care of everything. Thank you guys for everything.Sharon Dare

We recently used Balgores in Chelmsford and found Allannah Buckroyd to be most helpful and professional throughout the whole process. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she was always happy to go that 'extra mile' without any hesitation. 'It's all the little things, that make the big difference' and set them apart from their competitors. Allannah is an asset to your company and l would happily recommend Balgores . Thank you.

Found the agents to be very professional and was able to contact them after hours. They were very knowledgeable on the area we were renting out in. Agents (Reece and Mark at Hornchurch branch) were able to achieve multiple offers on the property we were renting out and the process was completed quickly due to the efficiency of the agents and the admin staff. I would highly recommend using them.

Heather Watson and Emily Howe have been superb in helping me find a property and the rest of the team at Balgores Property. I would definitely use them whenever my next property purchase or sale happens. A great company!

My husband and I have had an overall great experience with the purchase of a bungalow. We did have some issues at the start with one of the agents but this was soon sorted. Overall the mortgage adviser Lucy and sales professor Sarah were fantastic. Thank you all.
5/5
We was recommended to speak to an mortgage advisor when calling balgores to look at properties, myself and my husband made an appointment with Lucy. I was not expecting the service she has given us from day one of meeting her. I can honestly say myself and my husband's case wasn't the easiest but Lucy was able to secure us a mortgage!! The communication between us was outstanding and I honestly don't have a bad word to say! Highly highly recommend anyone who wants to buy their first home or is renewing their mortgage to speak to Lucy!! I would give more then 5 stars if I could 😄

The process of renting a property has been seamless and stress-free thanks to Reece (Upminster branch). He really does go above and beyond to provide a positive experience and an efficient service. Would highly recommend.
5/5
I recently rented my first property through Reece at Balgores in Upminster and the experience was without question a great one and I strongly suggest that anyone looking to get a new place starts with Balgores Upminster if in this area of course (ask for Reece). Although a little daunting being a first time experience for me, Reece personally made the whole process so straight forward and made sure that he was available to assist with any questions at anytime... before and after the deal was done 👌 Will gladly continue to use Balgores and Reece in the following years.
