GoogleWow - very speedy response from James one evening, when I sent through a right move message wanting to view the property the next day. He arranged the viewing with the owner for the next day which was absolutely perfect! Really perfect timing to fit into my busy diary. I have been searching for a decent size house in Chelmsford for so long and was so glad to find something. Everything was straight forward, barring the potential 17 viewings that this property had on the next day, however this did not put me off. I wanted this house, I wanted this new life in Chelmsford. Various conversations via email and telephone went on to "bid" for this property, however I Won with plenty of luck! I could not fault James at all, really made viewing/purchasing this house an enjoyable experience. The completion stage, admittedly was stressful, but Caroline kept in constant touch and kept chasing the current vendors for various information and completion of forms. Happy to say I am now living in the house, and enjoying it! Balgores - Thank you! You have really helped to make a dream come true!

GoogleI don't recommend this agency. I felt discriminated by their letting agent and she wasn't able to read my employment contract or bank statements. They refuse to rent a house after I make an offer they continued to show the property to other people and the they said somebody else offered to the landlord the rent for one year up front
