A seamless transfer of tenancy. Thank you very much to everyone at P&P. Also special thank you to Rachel for keeping us informed especially with the checking out process, and careful negotiations with tenants and us before releasing the deposit. We trust P&P to help manage our flat completely.

Palmer and partners have been great to us in helping us get our rental property . Our letting agent Sophie helped us through the process and made it very easy to understand. Although we had some trouble on our side of things, Sophie helped us all the way and with her dedication we got a property we were after. Thank you Sophie for all you're hard work

Estate Agency like it should be! Palmer and Partners were very professional from the start with a spot on valuation and a super smooth sales process. With regular communication, nothing was too much trouble and they gave great advice at every turn. Massive thanks to Alf, Alf, Hayley, Paul and the P&P team.

Palmer & Partners have been the kindest and easiest agency to work with - they have provided suggestions for the best places in town, they have been very clear and smooth with all tenancy operations, and have been supportive and adaptive to uneasy situations regarding moving. Biggest thanks to Sophie, for being very supportive and communicative, and much appreciation for the rest of the team at the agency!

I put my property on the market last year with Palmers and Partners. There was initial confusion and frustration with the marketing and sales but since James took over my sale, I was very pleased with the service that was provided. He was always approachable and dealt with my queries in an efficient and professional way. My thanks for the patience and understanding shown, especially James for his commitment and dedication. I would recommend P & P for house sales or purchase.

We used Palmers and Partners having been let down by a different agent. Palmers and Partners were nothing short of amazing throughout the entire process, James especially was exceptional and personable making the process seamless - he delivered on promises and communicated throughout. I cannot recommend this company enough - Thank you Palmers & Partners!

Having moving in to my rental property 2 weeks ago, I just wanted to say how impressed I've been with the rental team at Palmers Colchester especially Sophie whose friendly and down to earth nature made the experience a pleasant one. After encountering a "difficult" landlord who pulled out of the move 2 days before I was supposed to move in, Sophie and the team made the move still possible by finding me a different property. Thank you for the professionalism and extra work put in to all involved.

We have had dealings with Palmer and Partners for a long time now and we have found that it has been a very pleasant and successful journey together. They have always been courteous, pleasant, responsive and helpful. All the consultants we have dealt with have had a lot of experience and are very professional particularly John and Rachel whose advice we have always found invaluable. there is no doubt in my mind that we would continue our association with them.

Palmer and Partners sold my house within 48 hours. A special thank you to Perran the photographer, he achieved some outstanding shots. Both Alfie and Paul continued to update the events and progress daily which calmed my nerves particularly towards exchange of contracts. At no point did I feel overwhelmed because of their calm approach and everything was always explained fully. From start to finish all the members of Palmer and Partners that I engaged on worked as a competent team which clearly led to a happy and content sale. Thank you All Jennifer Stevens

The service I received from start to finish was exceptional. Everyone was friendly and professional at the same time.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Palmer & Partners!

I have just had the stressful experience of selling a property for an elderly relative who has gone into a care home. Things were made even more difficult by the fact that I live 300 miles away. But Palmer & Partners couldn't have been more helpful , taking on things like getting local tradesmen to carry out necessary repairs before the sale could be completed, which would have been extremely difficult for me at that distance. All their staff are friendly, accommodating and helpful and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their property. Their service cannot be bettered.

My partner and I have just bought our first house and despite it being a very stressful process, Palmer and Partners definitely helped to ease the stress. We communicated with Alfie throughout the process and he was amazing at keeping us updated with whatever information he’s received. He was great at responding to queries quickly and for chasing up both solicitors for information. Alfie and all the team seemed really friendly and viewings were easy to make. Would highly recommend P&P. Thank you so much!

Exceptional Property Management Services I have been letting a property via Palmer & Partners for a number of years. My experience with their services has been nothing short of exceptional. This why I have no hesitation in recommending them. 1. Expertise and Knowledge: From my very first contact with P&P it was clear that they have a thorough understanding of the lettings market, legal matters, and tenant relations. I felt confident that my property was in capable hands. 2. Communication and Responsiveness: Good communication is essential when entrusting your property to a management company, and P&P excels at this. They always promptly address any concerns or inquiries I have and providing timely updates and keeping me informed about the status of my property. 3. Maintenance and Repairs: One of the big advantages of working with P&P is their dedication to property maintenance and repairs. They promptly addressed any maintenance issues reported by tenants and will organise professional services when required. This saves me a lot of time and gives me peace of mind. Palmer and Partners is brilliant property management service provider that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to client satisfaction is second to none. If you are looking to rent out a property, I wholeheartedly recommend Palmer and Partners. They provide reliable and efficient management services and you can trust that your property will be in the hands of experts who deliver outstanding results. A special mention to Rachel who has been an absolute star dealing with some recent matters.

I have have had a couple of viewings with different people at Palmer and Partners. Everyone was very helpful and professional. When I had chosen a place to rent. Katy the lady who was dealing with the property was so professional. I had great communication at all times. Everything was done quickly and efficiently. I have used other letting agencies in the past and it has been stressful. Katy and the manager Jon have made this whole experience easy and stress free for me. I am incredibly grateful. I would recommend this company to anybody looking to rent or let their property!PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
