Balgores in Romford Glenn Hardie mortgage advisor
Balgores in Romford dealing with Glenn Hardie and Claire Dartnell is amazing. I could not thank Glenn and Claire enough for their professional and calm approach towards the mortgage from start to Finish. The fact find to mortgage offer. When I couldnβt get the documents in a timely manner for one provider Glenn was very helpful by applying with another lender. It turned out to change my fortunes as i was given an offer by them within a week and am now in a strong position to complete on a house which I must complete on by 22nd March 2024 due to auction deadline.

Appalling lack of interest and service.
Appalling lack of interest and service. Do not have any idea how to manage property, on either the landlord or tenant side, or how to provide a professional service. Do not read emails, or communicate effectively within their team, or with their client and make no effort whatsoever. Extremely disappointing.

Ben at Balgores
Ben has been very active since he has taken responsibility for our letting account. He has kept us well informed and has worked hard to find us the best prices for any repairs required to our property. Anne Fitzgerald

Thank you to Peter and Claireβ¦
A huge thank you to Peter and Claire for their help on our new home. Always so efficient and helpful. Brilliant service as always. We have used Peter at balgores many times. He has been amazing as always and does not fail to respond quickly with updates or silly questions. Even when there has been issues, Peter has always managed to sort them for us. Claire was great too, anytime we got stuck Claire stepped in and sorted the glitch. We recommend their service and will no doubt use Pete again. Keep it up guys ππΌ

late terms of business then ripped offβ¦
Received terms of business 1 week before the tenant moved in, massive fee but because tenant moving in I had no choice but to agree the fee, had I known the fee to start with I would have shopped around, this is not how you do business!!!

Abbie and Donna demonstrated professionalism from start to finish. They are the best.
5/5
Had a bit of a rollercoaster experience with purchasing and was very fortunate to be paired with both Abbie & Donna. Despite challenges posed by solicitors attempting to slow down the process, both Abbie & Donna went above and beyond to ensure the process was a smooth as possible from their end. Their unwavering commitment to meeting deadlines was truly commendable, and they navigated the complexities with unparalleled professionalism. Great service that made our home-buying journey a positive and successful one. Highly recommended!
5/5
Absolutely brilliant, nearly went with an online agent but it would have been a false economy. The staff here worked hard to get a buyer and managed to get a better price than we were expecting. Worth every penny of the fee. Every member of staff was helpful, youβd be bonkers not to use this agent.

Outstanding rental services
I would like to give the highest possible praise to the overall rental service from Balgores Properties and in particular to Dan Lawrence. Dan deals promptly with issues that arise. He makes sure the tenants are listened to and problems sorted in a timely way. Dan always keeps me informed as to what is going on and presents me with solutions, not problems. Dan is a great communicator, fabulous to work with and highly recommended.

This is the third time I have usedβ¦

Very thankful to the whole Balgores Team
Being the FTB, we were not clear with the home buying process, mortgage, home insurance but had preconceived notions. And then we met Balgores property team- Chris & Chloe and mortgage team Pete, Donna and Claire. As soon as we said yes to the house, they arranged everything for us and the whole process was closed in 2 months time; extremely efficient team. We asked for it and they arranged it for us like a genie. A special word of appreciation should definitely go to Pete; our mortgage advisor who answered our million queries and propositions and paid attention to even silliest ones. Highly proactive to reply emails and phone calls. Thank you so much Pete for your perseverance and the support extended. I wish all the good luck to the whole team for the future. Thank you!
5/5
I have been a tenant with this letting agent for nearly a decade, from the moment Carlos joined the team, he was a game changer. I donβt need to call on the letting agent often, because the property I rent is such a high standard, but when I do, Carlos always gets straight on it. Carlos is such an asset to Balgores, and it is a pleasure to deal with someone who always strives to do the right thing.

Excellent experience great service A*
Both Sean and Melissa have been amazing throughout the whole mortgage process. Due to uncertain times we were worried about gaining a new mortgage with a main stream lender but Sean come up trumps and smashed it out the park . Melissa has been great in updating us with the mortgage process after Sean had finalised the agreement and coudnt ask for a better team .highly recommended to all who are searching for either a new home or a move .

Great Service and assistance from Claire and Peter
Claire has been excellent at keeping us informed throughout the process of acquiring a new mortgage. We couldn't have been happier to have her work with us to ensure all documentation was submitted in good time and all checks where correctly undertaken so there would be no delays to the process. Both Claire and Peter have been fantastic at ensuring this process was straightforward and stressful. We will happily be contacting them in the future to undertake our next Mortgage. 5 stars professional service.
