Tom provided absolutely abysmal and disrespectful service from this company. From KevinLee. In response to my poor review National Residential (NR) eventually recognised that they had erred. Briefly, a lack of communication within NR together with their automated marketing systems, resulted in them persistently contacting me after we had already agreed that NR would NOT market my property. NR then offered me £300 compensation (without obligation) and I accepted. So in conclusion NR have been honest enough to own up to their errors and overall I therefore wish to rate NR's performance as satisfactory.

Hi Kevin, this review is totally unjustified and without merit. We only spoke to you briefly back in June 2019 and were unable to assist you at that time as the sale price you wanted was higher than the Reserve Price, we recommended for an auction sale. So, we did not go any further. All was fine. We then contacted you last weekend on 10th November with a follow up text message asking you if you still needed help selling (we send the same message to 1000's of clients every so often in line with our GDPR policy as their circumstances change and the market also changes) asking if you wanted to discuss us helping you sell again. However, rather than speaking with someone in our team, you simply put this unwarranted review on Trustpilot. Whatever your reasons for doing so you should reconsider this, and it is totally without cause or merit. We pride ourselves on delivering excellence in our service to buyers and sellers and go the extra mile and you should reconsider your review based on your actual substantiated experience. It is not fair you put this on in response to a simple text message and I would ask you to please remove it. I am also very happy to speak to you to see if we can help you in any way. Please call me [personally (David Coughlin - Director), and I will be only too happy to help you anytime.

National Residential were helpful and proactive through the buying experience. They remained as impartial as is possible, in the sense that I felt they were looking for the best deal for myself (the buyer) and also for the seller. I would highly recommend them.

TrustpilotGreat Job. Highly recommended
Being abroad , I am so glad that I went the National Residential way. It left me with a certain peace of mind, especially as there was the issue of negotiating a lease extension with a VERY difficult freeholder.Many thanks to David and Co for the facilitation of an advance and for the quick communications via phone and email. Great job. Highly recommended.

Hi Michael, thanks for your kind review and for all your help with returning docs while you were abroad.

This took longer than we envisaged and I'm glad we could help you with cash advances to repay you for you amazing patience while waiting to complete and get funds. Thanks for being so patient esepcially with the solicitors. All the best for 2020. National Residential

TrustpilotSale process
I had a very pleasant experience dealing with National Residential Estate Agents. They were very helpful and cooperative. They were very quick to reply to my queries and kept me up to date throughout the sale process. They managed to achieve an effective and timely completion despite of the fact that i was living abroad throughout the sale process. They kept me informed about every stage of the sale process via emails or over the phone. I would recommend people to use National Residential if they want to buy or sell as i am quite pleased with them.

TrustpilotRecently purchased a flat in London
Recently purchased a flat in north London with my partner. The seller had the flat listed with National residential and we moved forward with the purchase. They kept us up to date frequently and helped guide us through some complex aspects of a lease amendment. Fantastic service, and I would thoroughly recommend David and his team.

TrustpilotBuying 2 bed flat with tricky lease extension!
I recently purchased a property in North East London. The agents were excellent with both communication and providing any information we required. They consistently liased with both myself and the seller to resolve some tricky leasing issues and were very prompt and helpful to push our purchase though as quickly as possible. David was extremely positive and there was never a issue he couldn't tackle!

TrustpilotQuick sale... It'll cost you.
Yes they sold the house in the timescale but when using this company there is always a cost. This was initially £9k over 6.5% of the sale price reduced to £7k after arguing. It was initially hinted at £5k so either way it was a lot. Also you are in an auction and you have to see it through otherwise more cost. TIP: read the small print carefully and be sure what you are signing up to. Also national coverage is not there.
Sharon · 26 November 2019 · National Residential Chester
Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Hi Sharon, Alan and DarrenWe received a 1* review from Sharon which in our opinion is totally unreasonable and unwarranted.. I have asked you to review it based on the information below but you have chosen not to.We pride ourselves about delivering the best service possible and being totally transparent. We sold your property at a price agreed at auction and you could have rejected it at the time. Then throughout the completions process we never received a single message from Sharon all the way through to say that with Sharon nor anyone was unhappy with the service we were providing or our fees? Indeed only Darren her brother and co-owner was in contact with us and he was very happy with everything we did. Indeed we busted a gut to deliver on the fastest completion we could. We not only sold in the 28 day timescale but we completed in just 49 days. The original price we signed up for wat £135,000 and as we did not achieve the price we aimed for at auction we sold for £137,000 and you agreed to £130,000. From this fee of £7,000 we paid your legal fees. All the way throughout you were fully informed and agreed. In return for our fee and your agreement we then go above and beyond to deliver the fast completion timescales. Most auctions, such as I-am-Sold charge similar fees so what we are charging is not excessive. It is more expensive than the high street but the high street agents don’t deliver anywhere near the same results. If you want to pay estate agency fees you get estate agency results; ie 30-40% of estate agents sales fall through and their buyers are in chains and don't pay deposits and their completions take 6 months and you could still be on the market this time next year. Whereas with us the buyer paid a deposit and was chain free and completed in 49 days and your dad was moved well before Christmas which is what he wanted . You can't have a Rolls-Royce service for Robin Reliant prices. Not only this but you could have rejected this price and decided to sell with a local estate agent. Instead you agreed to the price and in return we 'delivered what it says on the tin'. I would ask you to consider your review as 1* review as you agreed the price (and you did not have to) and as a result we worked very hard at completing as quickly as possible and we had not complaints at all along the way. Indeed, even on the last day we worked into the evening going the extra mile to get the money in your account on the day, I think the 1* is a bit harsh and I would appreciate it if you would consider amending it to reflect more of the overall service we provided.

Agent replied · 11 June 2024
Hi Robert, thanks for your feedback. Apologies for the appointment problem - due to the tenant being in bed! We only found out when our agent conducting the viewing arrived and the tenant would not allow access. We dealt with is quickly and offered all the buyers who turned up £25 in compensation for the time/journey. These things happen but at least unlike other agents we offer to compensate our buyers. Hope we can do better next time. Thanks again, National Residential

TrustpilotHouse purchase in October 2019 - very good service!
We bought a house in October 2019 through National Residential and were really impressed with their service. As first time buyers we were keen for some support along the way, and National Residential were excellent in answering all of our questions and guiding us through the process. National Residential initially helped us to agree a fair price for the property, and we then dealt with only two individuals throughout the purchase, which really helped with consistency and ensured we didn't have to repeatedly provide the same information. National Residential played a key role in moving forward the process at pace, co-ordinating each of the parties and ensuring that any queries and difficulties were swiftly overcome and not allowed to slip, which enabled us to complete within a relatively short timeframe. Overall we were very impressed and wouldn't hesitate to use National Residential again, and we would recommend to others.

David and his team were very efficient, and we were always able to contact them quickly on the phone, by text and email. Their field agent, Ian, visited us promptly. They generated quite a number of viewers for our property, and helped negotiate an acceptable offer before helping through the conveyancing process - even paying for a solicitor for us, and helping with cash advances when needed.
