GoogleThe team led by Robert Wells, were very supportive during a very stressful period caused by chain breakdowns. They were always ready to help with calm professional advice. We are very grateful for this.

GoogleWe are very pleased with Church & Hawes, especially Rob Blake who negotiated us through our sale, with a very awkward chain and even worse conveyancing solicitors. Rob was persistent and prompt with all communications and his experience as an estate agent helped us a great deal. We would easily use Church and Hawes again.

GoogleI paid A deposit to take a flat off the market, then the landlords decided to not take me. So I thought obviously I’d get my £173 back as that’s not my fault. But no! They are refusing to give my deposit back!! I’m honestly shocked that they can do this to people. Very deceitful Be carful

GoogleDON'T.... Just don't put your trust into these estate agants! All was perfect in the beginning, was shown around several properties and fell in love with our "forever home" immediately. Put our offer in and was accepted to our utter delight! Got our mortgage sorted and solicitors appointed right away. Everything was running smoothly and quickly. Paid the solicitors hundreds of pounds to carry out surveys etc and draft contracts were drawn up! 4 weeks later and just 5 days before Christmas we got a phone call from church & hawes to say he'd been contacted by another person who wanted the house and willing to offer more money so we were put into a bidding war. Obviously we lost and so our dream house was snatched away just like that... our Christmas ruined and 2 devastated children who had started decorating their new rooms in their heads!! While I understand it's not illegal to be "gazumped" I do find it morally wrong. After having spoken to other estate agents who have also said they'd never do that to someone there is still obviously an estate agent who thinks it is acceptable. Because of what he did to us, out of principle we will not even look at a house up with them now! Absolutely appalling agents!!

Agents are legally obligated to report all offers to a seller, up to the point of exchange. See part 9A of the ombudsman's code of practise for Estate Agents: https://www.tradingstandards.uk/media/documents/commercial/codes-of-practice/tpo-sales.pdf As harsh as it is to the buyers that have lost out, we are guided by these regulations. Anyone that does not report an offer to their client is breaking the law and stands to lose their right to practise.

Google40 years ago we bought our house with the help of Mr Philip Church, and now even with current restrictions we managed to complete the sale of our house, finally handing over the keys with his son Glenn Church. The whole experience has been made easier with excellent work of the very friendly but professional staff, Andy, Daniel but particularly Neil who has helped and advised us from the beginning of this long journey, always calm and pleasant, honest and reliable. Excellent service all round. Would thoroughly recommend them to anybody buying or selling their house.
