Just rented through Balgores, and we couldnβt be happier, amazing service from start to finish, was a slight hiccup with house becoming flooded due to a leak beyond their control, however this was resolved through the landladyβs insurance company and we couldnβt be happier, kept in the loop with regular updates from Daniella she was amazing and Carlos, (Thank you both) a nice new home for Christmas. Looking forward to many years here, thank you Balgores.

Recently purchased my first house through Balgores and was fortunate enough to have Andrew help me through the process. He went above and beyond to support me through the process. He brought a great amount of knowledge and experience, that helped us overcome some critical issues in the process. I would highly recommend Balgores

Pete and Claire are the best!!
Pete Walker and Claire Dartnell are invaluable to anyone looking for a mortgage and the level of personalised expert service they have provided us has been by far the best experience weβve ever had with a mortgage broker. Pete was highly recommended as a mortgage broker by a friend and it was the best decision we made. Pete and Claire were both fantastic and went above and beyond for us on so many occasions. Pete has an huge amount of experience which was priceless to us as we had a complex leasehold sale as well as the onwards purchase. Nothing was too much trouble and he even sought advice about our sale from his trusted contacts (solicitors and other brokers) to help us with our sale. He made the mortgage application completely stress free and was incredibly knowledgable and realistic about it and we couldnβt be more grateful. Claire has been amazing and was constantly in contact with our solicitors to get updates on both our sale and purchase which was amazing. Thank you both so much!!

Excellent Service
Paul Young Highly recommend! We were referred to Paul by our mortgage adviser to discuss possible income and general life protection. Paul was very helpful and insightful, he went out of his way to provide us with more information than needed, prefilled in forms and gave some great points, which we have followed through with. Thank you Paul!

I would highly recommend Reece Woodhall to turn to at Balgores property for help in regards of any queries you have. Our moving in went super smooth from the moment we found a property on their website, all thanks to Reece.

Very disorganized and unprofessional... I was interested in a property, and booked a view as soon as it appeared on the market. It kept getting cancelled and rebooked for a later date. After almost a week of waiting and getting ready to go and visit the place, I was told it was taken by someone else.

5 star service
Myself and my partner had such an amazing experience when we were searching for a mortgage/house. Our mortgage advisor Gemma was amazing! She was so knowledgable and helped us from beginning to end, I literally canβt thank her enough for all her help and support and knowledge, she made the process a lot less stressful. Even when we were nearly ready to complete Gemma was still searching for the best rates and even managed to get our interest rate lower. After we completed we then was recommended Glenn to speak to us about life insurance, once again he was so helpful and knowledgeable and he helped us for the best deal for our life insurance and contents insurance for our property. Thank you both so much.

Depends on the branch - not all are good
Had a very unprofessional dealing with their hornchurch branch. I felt like they were lying and pushing up the price of a house. Really ignorant and rude staff.
5/5
Wonderful service
As first time buyers, we had little understanding on how to go about applying for a mortgage. Peter was very helpful in advising on the mortgage application and throughout the whole process. Our buying experience was full of postponements and delays yet Peter and the Balgores Sales team were the one team that was chasing and on our side. Abbie and Donna were always super responsive and helping us with queries and follow ups. We are really happy with their service and we highly recommend it! Thank you very much!

Too bad
If you are looking to rent a house and the landlord has placed the house with them, it is better to look for another real estate agency because that is what I do. They have nice houses but unfortunately they don't respond to any emails or phone calls I make. I don't know how they rent it but it's not normal.
