GooglePatrick guided us through the purchase of our first home. He was extremely helpful and generous with his time. He was always quick to respond to emails and queries. We are extremely happy with how the process worked out.

TrustpilotVery proactive, accessible and amenable team
I had a positive experience with Balgores Property. My first experience was with Peter Walker and his understanding of the property market and mortgages in particular swayed me to pay a premium for his service even though I previously had two other cheaper/free advisors lined up. He was very accessible and responsive and his overall demeanor was assuring. He was also very available throughout the process to respond to our numerous questions anytime. Most importantly, he helped us negotiate a further 3.5% reduction in the property value after the bank's survey. Also, the team assisted us with the insurance covers and we're guided with respect to all our available options which helped us make informed decisions. I know I'm a very difficult person to please but this team went over and beyond to provide good and exceptional service to us during our property purchase process. I would recommend them any day as they were a big part of us not experiencing any frustrations during our house purchase journey. Tomisin

TrustpilotPeterWalker and Claire Dartnell
Peter Walker and Claire Dartnell at MAB were really professional at arranging our mortgage, this is not the first time they have done this for me and if I ever move again it won't be the last, everything was very clearly explained they were always available to answer my questions, the whole mortgage process can be fairly painful but the team MAB.org do everything possible to reduce the stress, thank you both

GoogleConstantly spam my business with unwanted emails. Never visited the site or requested them, yet there is no option to unsubscribe. Poor business practise so can only imagine the service they provide is equally poor.
5/5
GoogleRather than providing me with excellent service. Reece's expertise and industry knowledge were exceptional. He communicated effectively, keeping me informed at all stages. Reece quickly addressed any issues that emerged. I wholeheartedly recommend Balgores Estate Agents for their exceptional service.

If you’re a first time buyer like me or looking to purchase a property, come to Balgores in Dagenham. I was blown away by the level of professionalism and expertise displayed by the team. I would like to send a special thanks to George, Femi, Sarah, Georgia and Faiza for the excellent customer service they have provided and finding my home. Five star all the way. 😁😁😁

GoogleVery professional but also friendly. They did their research and told us exactly how long it would take to sell, on our very first meeting. Were willing to give us a competitive fee and kept us informed throughout. Would really highly recommend them.
