Durden and Hunt estate agents in Havering and Ongar

This has been our second sale using Durden and Hunt in 9 months. We chose them to sell our own property because of their honest pricing and proactive approach in selling our deceased parents home. From the start Ross Chimes in the Hornchurch office was accurate in the pricing of our home which we believe led to numerous viewings and several offers in the first two weeks. They did not set an unrealistic price to gain our business to then have to drop it. On acceptance of an offer we were transferred to Amanda Stark who has been proactive in her approach to pushing our sale through and liaising with all the solicitors and estate agents in our chain. We would like to thank her for keeping us well informed by email and on the phone at every stage but particularly as we led to exchange of contracts. I would like to thank all those involved with selling our home from the company including those who showed viewers round our house on the first weekend. My husband and I would recommend Durden and Hunt without hesitation

I would like to thank all those who helped us with our process of moving home. Everybody I came into contact with at Durden and Hunt were professional, caring and went above and beyond. A special special thanks to Amanda who, without her I am not sure we would have got our move over the line. Amanda kept us informed at every stage and went the extra mile in every sense of the phrase. I would not hesitate to use their services again.

I purchased a house via Durden & Hunt, the team were very responsive and nice to deal with. Daniel in particular was very helpful and supported me as the buyer as well as the seller who was elderly in quite a complex chain situation. Amanda from sales progression also helped immensely getting my purchase completed before my mortgage offer expired. Thanks to the whole team!

Buying property in the UK is, frankly, one of the most stressful experiences you can put yourself through - Amanda made it easy. Between navigating the conveyancing process, deciphering survey reports, managing a chain that feels like it could collapse at any moment, chasing solicitors, and trying to understand what on earth "exchange" and "completion" actually mean in practice - it can feel completely overwhelming, especially if it's your first time. From our very first conversation, Amanda was refreshingly straightforward. She didn't talk in circles or hide behind jargon - she explained every stage of the transaction clearly, told me what to expect and when, and was honest when things were moving slowly and why. That transparency alone was worth its weight in gold. So many agents leave you chasing them for updates; Amanda was proactive, often calling me before I even had the chance to wonder what was happening. When a complication arose mid-transaction (as they almost always do in UK property purchases), Amanda handled it. She liaised with the relevant parties, kept all sides informed, and kept the deal on track without panic or drama. Her knowledge of the process was evident - she clearly understood not just her role but the wider legal and procedural landscape, which meant she could anticipate problems before they escalated. If you are buying or selling property and want an agent who actually takes ownership of the process rather than just listing and disappearing, Amanda and the team at Durden and Hunt are exactly who you want in your corner. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Selling with Durden and hunt estate agent Hornchurch

I can only rate the Hornchurch branch as amazing. Ross, Grace and Amanda were excellent and went over and above throughout selling my home. As an older person alone they stepped up to help, guide and complete. Ross sat with me at home explaining, dealing with problems and giving reassurance throughout. Nothing was too much trouble. Amanda was care and caring. Always available to chat and deal promptly with anything to help and progress the process. More than a first class service and would recommend then to anyone especially if your dealing with moving on your own Well done

We had an excellent experience with Durden & Hunt over the past three months. From start to finish, the team was professional, proactive, and incredibly supportive throughout what could have been a very stressful process. A special thank you to Amanda, the sales progressor, who worked tirelessly to keep everything moving smoothly behind the scenes. Ciara, our agent, was fantastic in arranging viewings, especially accommodating a second viewing for us at very short notice, and guiding us through each step with clarity and care. Ross, the partner, was instrumental in negotiating with the seller and ensuring we secured the right price. What really stood out was the team’s ability to maintain momentum across the entire chain. With three properties and four parties involved, it could easily have become complicated, but they did a brilliant job of pushing things forward and keeping everyone aligned. They also maintained excellent communication with our conveyancer, which made a huge difference in keeping the process efficient and stress-free. There was clearly a lot happening behind the scenes to keep everything on track, much of which we didn’t even see, but the results spoke for themselves. Communication was consistently outstanding throughout. Emails were answered promptly, phone calls were returned quickly, and we always felt informed and reassured at every stage. Thanks to their dedication and efficiency, the whole process, from our first viewing to completion, was completed in an impressive three months. Truly a hassle-free experience, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Durden & Hunt were great with our house purchase, any questions we had were always answered and they would keep you updated. Amanda Stark was brilliant, when we had some hold up within our chain she was constantly chasing and trying to get the purchase complete as soon as possible.

I couldn't recommend Durden & Hunt highly enough! I instructed Durden & Hunt for the sale of my property at the start of the year and I couldn't have had a better experience than I did with Ross, Grace and Ciara. Throughout the viewing process, they were on hand to manage the viewings, always provide clear and concise updates, were always available when needed and were also happy to give honest feedback when things weren't going too smoothly, which was very much appreciated. When I got to the stage of accepting an offer, this was handed over to Amanda (Senior Sales Progressor) along with Ross, and the experience was exceptional. Amanda and Ross kept me updated, was always there when needed, and provided quick and concise updates. Amanda managed the communication between me and my buyers exceptionally. This was evident because from the moment the offer was accepted, the house sale then took 5 weeks to complete and this wouldn't have been possible without their support. I'm truly thankful and grateful!

I would highly recommend Durden and Hunt to anyone looking to buy a property.
