The most amazing estate agents , lovely team and so welcoming , they couldn’t do enough for us and sold our house in three days!!! Would highly recommend if you want a family run business that makes you feel welcome and are always happy to help with anything !! Special thanks to Joe for selling our house so fast and making the whole process stress free!

Unbelievable estate agents, could not recommend highly enough! Sold my property for me and we exchanged contracts 18days from accepting the offer and the buyer had a mortgage. Joe Hayes is a hero
5/5
Joe and the team were a delight to deal with from the initial sign up of the property to the day of completion. Communication throughout the process was first class and cannot recommend highly enough.

Joe Lambert did exactly what was needed, and said he would, in finding a buyer and then was very pro-active in getting the sale progressed. A job well done.

We instructed Manchester Durman this year on a property transaction. Not only were they able to provide a highly suitable spplicant from their agency department but they also gave us a superb legal service from their legal department all the more facilitated by the close cooperation between the two and from under the same roof. A truly beneficial arrangement all round. Thank you to everyone.

James Manchester acted for us when selling our elderly mothers house in Addiscombe. We found him very professional and informative at all times , a very nice man to deal with , very calm and collected considering some issues that came his way. I would recommend James Manchester without hesitation, thankyou , we got there in the end and now our mother can be secure in her Nursing Home.

I was introduced to the Hornchurch team when my wife and I where interested in purchasing a property that they had advertised. From the first moment to the last they where an absolute pleasure to deal with. I will be recommending them to anybody that will listen to me. Once again thanks a million for all your help and all the best for the future. Barry and Andreina

Generally they are fine. HOWEVER I have been a tenant for one year and several times they have performed some maintenance without scheduling a time with me. They just send their workman to do the job without giving me 24hrs notice. First their excuse was "oh we tried calling but you didn't pick up". Well I have no reception at work. The lack of response doesn't mean you just enter anyway. I told them to contact me via e-mail as I check that every 30 mins. To quote one of their agents Simon Smith: “Dear Raj Thank you for the email and again I am very sorry I have made sure that the key is never given out without your approval, I will also make everyone aware that email is better Kind regards Simon” Yet today I find that they again allowed access without providing me any notice. If you value your privacy and your rights as a tenant avoid this agency because they clearly do not understand this little thing that we're all supposed to abide by...the law!

I've worked with Richard and the team for more than nine months and they are always professional, efficient and straight to deal with. Very good at what they do and I'd highly recommend them.
