Very helpful estate agents. The only one in the lakes that actually gave us viewings and alerted us to any that weren’t able to accept pets. Lucia has been so helpful and has provided all the info we’ve needed. Thank you for finding us a home!

Very professional company that maintain a very personal link to their clients. Although a very trying time for house sales they continued to push and support and in the end succeed in selling my house. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to sell in the Lake District.Janet from the Ambleside office kept me fully updated all the way through the process.

While actively searching for our new home in Ambleside across multiple Agents, Matthews Benjamin stood out as the friendliest and most professional to deal with. This continued after Janet introduced us to our dream property. Jack was patient and gave us space during our long Saturday viewing. Janet was amazing from offer to exchange, actively communicating and progress chasing with solicitors. While Janet's priority was obviously to do the best for her sellers, she was a pleasure to deal with and always made us feel special. If we were selling in the Ambleside area, we wouldn't use anyone else.

We have just exchanged on a property in Ambleside and as with any move it had its share of problems but throughout the process we had Janet helping us ,she was always pleasant and easy to talk to ,any questions /problems we had she went away and did her best to push things along and always came back to us with answers to our questions. What you need when your buying/selling houses is to have trust in the agent and we very quickly trusted Janet. I would certainly recommendMatthews Benjamin

Our experience with Matthews Benjamin Estate Agents has been outstanding, exceeding all of our high expectations. From our first meeting, Matt's expertise in the Lake District property market was apparent. He took the time to ensure our property was accurately valued and strategically marketed, giving us complete confidence that we were in capable hands. His skill in managing multiple offers and securing the best possible outcome made a real difference. The team at Matthews Benjamin displayed remarkable professionalism and dedication. They were proactive, responsive, and kept us informed every step of the way. Calls and emails were answered promptly, viewings were expertly coordinated, and paperwork was handled swiftly. Their efficient approach resulted in multiple offers and a smooth, quick sale, all while minimising the stress on us. Special thanks to Janet who was our main contact after we accepted an offer. Her diligence and calm problem-solving skills were essential during the closing stages, especially when unexpected issues arose. Her commitment made a significant impact on the ease and success of the entire process. Having dealt with many estate agents over the years, we feel incredibly fortunate to have chosen Matthews Benjamin for this sale. Their commitment to our satisfaction and consistent hard work made this a uniquely positive experience. We would absolutely recommend Matthews Benjamin to anyone looking to sell their property; they truly go above and beyond.
