Very poor service at an inventory check out in Richmond on Saturday 8th June 2018. The check-out inventory report is dramatically different to the check-in report, in both the length of time it took to conduct and in the way this report has …

We’ve used Green Kite several times, great service. Flexible and professional, takes a great deal of hassle out of a tenancy switch when you’re a busy landlord.

I recently used Green Kite’s inventory service and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Professional throughout and incredibly friendly too, I cannot recommend them highly enough. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Great service from all members of the Balgores Team. Very proactive and professional. Was not a huge fan of estate agents due to previous experiences with other companies however with Balgore Hayes I couldn't recommend them more. Keep up the great work!

Unfortunately I have to give Balgores one star which is far too generous. My car was in the garage for 7 weeks for a small dent and scrape on the right wing. That is just the beginning. My car was picked up and it was working perfectly. 7 weeks later it was dropped off with no Petrol and the battery was flat. I was informed by the estimator who I could not understand that the car had an electrical problem which caused the battery to be flat and also the sat nav, CD etc not to work. Absolute nonsense. I will be getting a solicitor to look into this and carry out the necessary procedures. I am now left with a car that does not work.

I was very pleased with selling my house through Balgores. The whole process from start to finish went very smoothly and was dealt with in a most professional manner and I was kept informed of the progress of the sale on a regular basis. I would not hesitate to recommend them.
