Despite experiencing some setbacks with our purchase, Harpreet and Rachel tried their best to keep us updated and in the loop to ensure that we knew that even though everything was going slowly it was still moving. Which was extremely reassuring.

Hi Jessica, thanks for your kind review. We had a tough nut with your purchase: (1) getting the short lease extended and (2) paying the tenant to leave by agreement before completion (never easy in current market). We got there in the end and thanks for your patience and good luck in your new home. David and the NatRes team

Decided to use National Residential after watching one of their videos. Service has been very efficient, they've done their best for me under trying circumstances I must admit, but Rachel especially has been brilliant with her updates and advice. Will be using again soon!

Satisfied client.

I sold my rental flat in London in July through National residential.They did exactly what they said they would. The flat sold on the first viewing for the agreed price. A hassle free experience, I will definitely use them again. They have a strong team with a different expert for each step of the process.

On Your Side Throughout The Buying Process

Buying and selling property can often be a confusing and stressful experience and I was so grateful to have Online National Residential Estate Agency on my side during my property purchase. Tom was completely transparent about how the transaction would work when he accepted my offer and then Rachel was absolutely superb in terms of keeping me informed as to how the process was moving along. Perhaps more importantly, when the process hit an unusual and unexpected delay, she was there to offer words of advice and comfort which I was really grateful for. Ultimately my purchase went through as planned and I would have no hesitation in recommending Online National Residential Estate Agency to anyone who is looking to buy a property quickly and simply. They really do what they claim to do well!

Top job

We've now sold two properties with David and the team at National Residential. They are very capable of securing buyers - in our case, selling our buy-to-lets to other buy-to-let investors. But that wasn't what really impressed us. We had a property that was difficult to sell, and they truly went above and beyond in the advice, guidance, and help they provided in getting a deal done for us. I'd recommend them without hesitation.

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Adam, thanks so much for your very kind review. It took some flexibility and patience from yourself to get the sale over the line due to the structural issues encountered so thanks for your efforts and patience. We wish you well for the future and if I can help you with any insurance claims or any other matters in due course, please let me know. All the best David and the NatRes team

Excellent friendly service and great hand holding skills.

From the moment I contacted the team at National Residential they were with me all the way. We agreed a valuation, and as I do not live in the UK they took care of all viewings and access to the house. If I had any questions they were there to help and I cannot praise them highly enough. I would recommend National Residential to everyone.

Very poorly run business

Very poorly run business. From not returning calls, to just being rude for no good reason they really are everything you don’t want in an estate agent. Thinking it could not get much worse and still keen on the property I agreed on a purchase price pending a survey.I arranged for the survey to take place within a week of the offer, they gave the surveyor access to the property and within 48 hours I had the results and was happy to proceed… but wait for it the property was already sold at auction prior to the survey taking place they just failed to tell me or cancel the survey, actually they only told me when I asked where to pay the deposit to.Very unethical and all with the Directors knowledge.If you don’t have a choice but to deal with them speak to Tom as he is at least polite and diligent even if he is hung out to dry by the bosses.Ps it’s worth noting that they owned the property that they were selling and it wasn’t the seller pulling the strings but the Directors themselves

David · 24 July 2022 · National Residential Chester

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi David, unfortunately your review is incorrect and I would like to clarify the situation and offer you compensation as a gesture of goodwill.We listed a property for sale through our 'modern auction' and it did not achieve the vendors reserve price of £132K following the end of our auction 14th June. You were making offers below the reserve price that were being rejected by us and the vendor. You first offered £95K (around 1st July) , then £100K, then £110K and all were rejected. The vendor allowed us some time to negotiate with post-auction and try and sell but gave us an ultimatum to agree a sale as they had signed contracts to relist the property with Pugh Auctions to sell via the traditional auction route and the auction date with Pugh was set for 20th July. The vendor also reduced their reserve price from £132K to £120K with Pugh as they needed a guaranteed sale. The vendor advised us that any offer made by you, or any other purchaser needed to be agreed before that Pugh Auction date and must be accepted under auction conditions and contracts exchanged.You subsequently came back with an offer of £115K on 12th July and my sales manager Tom Bates brought this offer to my attention. Although less than the £120K reserve with Pugh Auctions I advised Tom that this would be acceptable to the vendor but only on provision contracts exchanged under auction conditions. I was then told by Tom that you needed to get a survey and searches before agreeing to this. I told Tom and Pugh Auctions that you could have access for survey, but I assumed that because there was no possibility of you getting searches back before the auction date of the 20th July you would not be ‘in the running’. I then went on holiday to Australia on the 14th July and did not return until 24th July and left the matter with yourself and my sales manager Tom to resolve between you. The date for the Pugh Auction was set for 20th July.The straightforward fact is that you needed to exchange contracts with a 10% deposit under Pugh Auction conditions before Weds 20th July (the Pugh Auction date). However, you only booked your survey for the 20th July and you subsequently called to confirm your offer of £115K on Sat 23rd July. Unfortunately, this was after the Pugh Auction and the property had been sold. This was a shame as your offer of £115K was higher than the property sold at auction for £108K but it was too late by then as contracts had been exchanged.I have reviewed all the notes on your file and the cause of this problem appears to be that you did not know the auction date with Pugh was set for 20th July and that you must exchange contracts before that date to remove the property from going to auction. How you did not know this date I have no idea as you were communicating with Tom regular and asking questions about removing from auction. You should have asked the question to my sales manager Tom as to what the date of the auction was, and Tom should also have advised you. This information slipped through the proverbial cracks.As a gesture of good will, I told Tom that as we appear to be part responsible (for not telling you the date) we will refund part of your survey fee. We will not refund it in full as you also need to take responsibility for enquiring about the date for the auction and you had many opportunities to exchange contracts before that date as your offer was accepted on the 12th July. Tom has already asked you to forward the invoice from your surveyor and offered to discuss compensation. We await the invoice from you.Many thanks, David (Director)p.s. and to clarify - by "Vendor" I am referring to the lender on this property who funded this purchase and was the decision maker as they wanted their funds returning.

These people are just looking to take advantage of people who may need to sell fast. DO NOT USE.

Hantong · 12 June 2022 · National Residential Chester

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Hanton, thanks for your review and I would welcome a chat with you. To sell properties quickly vendors usually have to sell at less than market value. We sell via modern auction, and we get prices around 90% estate agents prices in just 28 days. If you want a higher price, you need to sell with a local agent over a longer timescale. Thanks again, Rachel and the NatRes team
