Excellent service from start to end of a very tricky sale. Nathan went above and beyond to ensure the sale completed.

Manipulation, Guff that backfired late summer 2025 to end of year. I'm a chain free buyer and was interested in a property on the market by church hawes Burnham on crouch branch : My position is half cash , half mortgage. The property I was interested in was listed by Church hawes Burnham office, but the office and the sellers kept it secret that another party had put in an offer which was ACCEPTED, but the estate agent and sellers kept the property on the market due to the accepted offer was in a chain and not gone to sold subject to contract which I was not made aware of. I viewed the property twice in a close period of time , my broker put in a reasonable offer to then be told of the other interested party and offer , who by this time had gone sold subject to contract on their property, but the property church hawes was selling was not listed as SSTC. The estate agent then immediately stated it's going to BEST & FINAL My broker put in at my request full asking price and I was outbid. The estate agent then contacted my broker and stating we can bid again despite it being a best and final which I obviously declined . I'm ok about losing out , as not over paying a property the estate agent valued it at. The property approximately 3 weeks later went back on the market on Saturday. I made an enquiry first thing Monday morning at 9.30am . Church hawes Burnham on crouch , on the same property informed me the same person wanted it again. I said that's ok they can have it . I was pushed by church hawes Burnham on crouch to place an offer 4 times during that one phone conversation. Each time I said no..they can have it. About 30 mins later I got a voicemail to call their office. In the afternoon I got a voicemail to call them. At 3.15pm I called them to why 2 voicemails to which got told the person had just pulled out? If just pulled out then why voicemails earlier in morning to call them? I felt it was manipulation & GUFF and pressure tactics for selling and (FOMO : fear of missing out ) Seem very suspicious especially the manager Nathan. The property was originally on the market on 06062025 yet funnily went back on the market on right move at a new on the market date d which is not under the removal from right move & rejoin under a date within a certain time frame to list as new date The property has now been pulled from the market very late 2025, not selling from being on the market original date of 06062025 So it was the market for 6 months and guess what no saleand pulled. Church hawes Burnham are aware as I sent them an email and although they denied doing anything legally wrong & nothing wrong. Human Ethics & morally they have from my perspective with the information, events outlined and four times in one call requesting me to make an offer I will never deal as a buyer on any property ever from church hawes Burnham branch irrespective of what I think of a property. And thankfully now the housing market is starting to correct itself for the buyers.

My partner and I were first time buyers, after viewing a house with a different estate agent we came to look around some houses with Aaron who made the whole experience less daunting. Aaron was a huge support throughout the whole process, always answering any questions or chasing things we were unsure about. Aaron kept us in the loop with all updates and processes. We couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of us during that time. We would 100% recommend and will be using them again in the future when we're ready to move again.

Great service from Rob Wells and the team at C&H. Unlike others he didn’t over value our property and he worked tirelessly towards completion in what was a very long and stressful chain.

Church and Hawes were professional and honest. Kevin in particular was excellent and worked diligently to ensure my sale went through by problem solving and negotiating with many parties. This is the 3rd time we have used Kevin and the Church and Hawes team and we will use them again for our next sale / purchase. Highly recommend

We’ve been buying and selling in Maldon and had a really positive experience with Neil and Rob at Church and Hawes. Neil, in particular, who was our main point of contact, has been incredibly helpful, good-humoured, and communicative throughout, which made the seven-month process far more bearable. I would definitely recommend Church and Hawes to anyone looking to sell their home.

From first making contact with Neil at C&H, the service we received was excellent. The selling pack and photos were very well done and we had full editorial control. Advice on potential buyers was very helpful and resulted in a quick sale. We then had a complicated chain of 8 but Neil kept us informed throughout and did everything we needed to keep everyone engaged and all with good humour! I would definitely recommend.

Neil at the Maldon branch was great to work with. A good communicator during a very long drawn out buying process, he kept us informed and oiled the wheels to keep the process moving. Many thanks Neil!

Nick and David were first class in assisting the sale of my aunts property. Unfortunately the first time it fell through but very rapidly a new buyer was in place and is now sold. I cannot recommend them enough for their attention to detail along the way and explaining everything to us. I would recommend this company to everyone they were amazing

I recently purchased a property in Danbury and Church & Hawes were outstanding from start to finish. Their team was extremely professional, consistently friendly, and they genuinely went the extra mile to keep me updated throughout the process. Rob (Robert Blake) was a great help and a pleasure to deal with.

I have both bought and sold houses with Church and Hawes over the past 20+ years and i can not recommend them highly enough. When things bottled necked further down the chain and everyones solicitors were all waiting for who knows what exactly !?! it was Daniel at Church and Hawes that actually got on the phone and got things moving. Without him i really do not think I would have completed 6 days before christmas. Church and Hawes are professional, approachable, honest and most importantly proactive and i would not hesitate to use them again. Hayley

We purchased our first home through Church and Hawes, Maldon. They were more helpful than our own solicitors and mortgage advisor. I would like to say thank you specially to Andy and Daniel, always very quick at communication, professional and polite when I would ring them, so they could explain the current stage and anytime we wanted to return to revisit the home or measure up they allowed us to. They really supported us by making us feel at ease and no question was too silly!

I went full price and was outbid. The estate agent then contacted my broker and I stating we can bid again , despite the best and final , which I declined , I'm ok about losing out as not over paying for a property and estate agent valued it at.

The property has now been pulled from the market for not selling from being on the market original date of 06/06/2025 ....6 months and guess what no sale because of greedy sellers and estate agents and lack of transparency, trust , dishonesty Church hawes Burnham are aware as I sent them an email . I will never deal as a buyer on any property ever from church hawes Burnham branch. Due to the lies, deceipt, dishonest low level tactics& lack of transparency And from looking at sites about this branch ...it's not the 1st time either.

Very good team. Organised numerous viewings over the last year in my search for my first house. Easy to book and give feedback along with receiving property details on new entries into the market via emails. Arron toured on many properties and then kept me updated during the purchase process. Good team in South woodham ferrers.
