GoogleSold our house through Kinetic, from the start Kinetic were very competitive on their charges, Mat came and did the valuation and took the photos. For some of the viewings other staff came and showed people around and their knowledge of the area was first class. For us the person who stood out was Jo. She was in constant contact with us and our buyers, she was sending weekly emails to our solicitors after updates on where they were in regards of searches and replies, she even sent emails/phoned our sellers estate agent asking them to chase things up. Thank you everyone at Kinetic John & Jeanette.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted you had such a positive experience with Kinetic. It’s wonderful to hear Matt, Jo and the team made the process smooth from start to finish, we’ll be sure to pass on your thanks to them.

GoogleWe recently bought a house through Kinetic. Matt was really helpful sending information and showing us around the property, really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Throughout the buying process Jo was great at communicating between us and the sellers- super quick to reply and always really friendly. Great experience all round.
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear that Matt and Jo made your purchase such a smooth and positive experience. It’s great to know their enthusiasm and communication stood out, we’ll be sure to pass on your kind words.

GoogleWe’ve just bought our first home and can’t thank Jo at Kinetic enough! She always replied promptly, chased updates for us, and reassured us in the stressful moments. Genuinely don’t know what we would have done without her. Ben was also great, he showed us the property and did the handover, making everything smooth from start to finish. Huge thanks from Wiktoria and Ryan 😊
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Jo and Ben made your first home-buying experience such a smooth and reassuring one. Wishing you both every happiness in your new home!

Google5* We couldn’t be happier with the service received by Kinetic. From our initial valuation from Matt, through to completion the whole team have been brilliant. Louis looked after our sale and kept us up to date with the interest our house was getting, progress with bookings, and potential buyers. In 6 weeks we had sold our home and was looking for our next home. Whilst we were viewing houses Jo kept in contact regularly to understand our position better so she could update our buyers, I think this is so important, I had full confidence that Jo was on top of everything, was listening to us and therefore able to set realistic timeframes for our buyers so they wasn’t forgotten about and left in the lurch, this must have made their buying experience much nicer. If only we had this with our purchase but unfortunately that was through a different estate agents. I must say the whole experience of buying and/or selling a house can be stressful but Jo and the team make life so much easier. We are truly grateful for the level of service Kinetic offer through their high standards

GoogleWe worked with Sarah over many years (1 rental and two sales) and had a very professional and helpful experience and so would highly recommend. Its a tough market with many stakeholders to manage and Sarah always has a practical and cheerful approach. She offers advice but is also flexible and able to follow clients wishes where they might differ.

Google⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience with Tracie and Jess! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make everything smooth and stress-free. There were no problems, no issues, just genuine care and professionalism the whole way through. You can tell they truly care about what they do and about the people they’re helping. It’s rare to come across people who put so much heart into their work, but Tracie and Jess definitely do. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, they’re simply amazing!
