We had a great experience of purchasing a house with Matthews Benjamin. Even though the process was protracted (because of delays elsewhere in the chain) Janet and the team were always there to keep things moving and maintain communication.

Selling a holiday letting cottage from a distance could have been tricky, but Matthews Benjamin had everything at their fingertips. Initially Matt and then Janet guided us through the process, Janet in particular making sure we were kept informed at every stage, cheerfully supporting us through the negotiations. Always patient and reassuring. We would highly recommend Matthews Benjamin.

Incredible service from the team at Matthew Benjamin! They maintained consistent communication providing updates when needed. Current climate didn’t in any way negatively affect the process. They were also highly professional and refreshingly cheerful! Many thanks 😊 …

Matthews Benjamin have been very efficient and professional during our recent sale process, keeping us informed at every stage. Someone always answered the phone and responded quickly to any queries. Despite being extremely busy we were consistently given time and treated as if we were the only seller. Great team work and customer service. Many thanks.

Matthews Benjamin wasn't even our estate agent but they have been incredibly responsive and helpful (especially Nicola). They were representing the people from whom we were buying (vendors), and kept us informed every step of the way. We'd gone with Purple Bricks and they disappeared as soon as we accepted an offer on our house. If we ever come to sell our new home we'll be using Matthews Benjamin!

James Β· 16 October 2021 Β· Matthews Benjamin Windermere

I bought and sold my property with Matthews Benjamin and found them to be consistently helpful, friendly, professional, coordinated as a Team, and they always went above and beyond to help me with anything to do with the property. They were pro-active in their approach, working behind the scenes on my behalf. Whenever I communicated with them they were friendly, empathetic, engaged and listened precisely to what I had to say. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and I am so grateful for their help and advice.

I was delighted by the service offered by Matthews Benjamin for sellers. When I first phoned the first Coronovirus lockdown was ending, but before the office had re-opened. Matt answered all my questions and provided a copy of the standard contract terms and fees; which I found were clear and fair. When the property was visited I thought that their valuation practice was good and realistic. I was told of the need for an Energy Performance Certificate from a third party specialist company (which they organised for me). The sale particulars prepared were thorough and well presented, took account of all relevant aspects of the property and were provided for client approval before publication. I found all of the staff to be helpful and friendly, always professional and following good practice at all stages of the sale, including the assessment of prospective purchasers and taking all appropriate Covid precautions on viewings. My main contacts, Janet and Jenna, were always quick to provide viewing feedback and to respond to phone calls and emails. Janet regularly pursued progress on the sale with the purchaser and Solicitors and I was kept informed of progress of the sale. I was totally happy with the service, there was a genuine wish to provide an excellent service and, without any reservation, I recommend the Company to other people.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
