GoogleI had a fantastic experience throughout my house purchase. Ruby was excellent during the viewings, friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, making the whole process enjoyable. Marie was brilliant with all the administration, keeping everything organised and ensuring I was kept up to date. Sam handled my case throughout and was exceptional. They were always responsive, supportive, and genuinely cared about helping everything progress smoothly. The whole team provided outstanding service, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home. Thank you all for your hard work!

GoogleAs a first-time buyer, I was very anxious about the ins and outs of buying a property. I'd heard the process could be very stressful. After saving my money while renting through Balgores, I contacted their sales team and spoke to Sophia.
From the very first phone call, Sophia's warm, welcoming manner and friendly nature immediately put me at ease. She invited me into the office to discuss properties within my budget and also introduced me to their mortgage adviser.
Sophia arranged several viewings and has been guiding me through every step of the process, always keeping me informed and making everything much less daunting.
So far, I am really pleased with my decision to buy through Balgores, and I'm looking forward to getting the keys to my new home.
Thank you, Sophia, and the whole team, for all your support.

GoogleFrom the moment Paul Dobbs came to value our property, it was clear he had our best interests at heart. My Mom is in her 80's and Paul came to value her home in Gratmore Green. His initial valuation visit was warm, professional, and entirely stress-free, He took the time to walk us through the entire selling process, and answered all of my Mom's questions with patience. Paul was so helpful a really lovely man. Thank you Paul.

TrustpilotWonderful service
Katie in particular was really helpful and kind in the Peterborough branch. She went up and beyond in helping me with the sale of my property.
When we hit a roadblock (which were many from my solicitors side!) she did everything she could to help resolve the issues. Even though this wasn’t her responsibility she was really helpful in chasing up both sides to get the sale moving forward. And finally we completed yesterday after a very stressful 15 months!
Thank you Katie. I would recommend connells and if you have the pleasure of working along with Katie you will not be disappointed.

TrustpilotDisorganised and incompetent
Unfortunately I made a mistake to trust connells of Harrow to let mo properly in harrow. Please stay away from this people.
They let my property and from day one they was collecting the the rent and kept the money up to 3 weeks before they paid in to my account.. never reply emails and messages and never anybody there to talk to.
On the last 2 months I had to ask the tenants to pay straight in to my account.
A very frustrating 13 months.
When tenants moved out Theo was some damage to the flat… Tenants agreed a cost to be detached from the deposit and emailed connells to confirm.
Nothing happened despite the numbers of reminders emails and messages from maysself and tenants.
5 weeks after tenants moved out I received a email from connells saying can’t make a claim from “zero deposit” because over 28 days have passed since tenants moved moved out…
That’s is insulting my intelligence!
Zero deposit have now confirmed that I won’t be able to claim because of the 28 day deadline!
I have just lost £800 because of they’re disorganisation and negligence.
Stay away as a tenant or as a landlord!

Stevenage Connell! If you’re looking for broker that knows their job, this is your place to hit up!
After many failed attempts with other brokers, we’ve been recommended Connell. From the moment we’ve entered this office we’ve had an absolute pleasure to work with Julie Twinnings. What an expert she is! Her knowledge reaches far out across and her transparency with professionalism led with quality mindset has given us certainty and a good night sleep through the whole process.
Julie, we are ever so grateful for your exceptional service, your availability, flexibility, knowledge, friendly and professional approach, going above and beyond! You’ve made our dream possible!
Thank you ever so much again! Wishing you all the best.

GoogleLiam and Michael are outstanding - their knowledge of the rental market, their dedication to providing outstanding service and their results are truly remarkable.
As first time Landlords we were nervous about entering the market, especially in light of recent legislative changes. However, they led us through the process thoroughly, professionally and clearly.
It felt as though they worked around the clock to make sure they got the right tenants for our property. They had a solution for everything and did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it - often exceeding expectations.
I can’t rate them highly enough - I recommend them to everyone. True credits to the Balgores Basildon business - they drive for results and I expect many Landlords use Balgores because of them.

TrustpilotTerrible service
Terrible service, this company will just treat you like a number. Remember you are not important to them. 1st they sold me a flat of non standard construction they claim they didn't know that, but there iwn surveyor know that without looking at the flat!
2nd the si called mortgage advisor for life, what a joke. Dan at mutley Plain branch in Plymouth couldn't be bothered to reply to my messages when I told him I was getting worried that I hadn't heard anything. But was very quick to respond when I said I was pulling out.
I had my hopes and dreams of becoming an investor in property smashed by them.
Di yourself a favor people use an online broker, they will not charge you any fees.
Broker fees are a rip off as they get paid a commission from the mortgage company too.
Never again will I deal with connells

TrustpilotAvoid at all cost
Avoid at all cost! Didn't put up a for sale sign, no proactive communication, try to get you to pay extra £500 commission as an 'incentive' for them to do their job of selling your house!!! Tried getting out of the contract early which was a continued "no", but funny that as soon as the Ombudsman was mentioned they dropped us like a stone. Once the property was off the market, after 12 weeks, I was then woken up very early one morning to find a man trying to put up a for sale sign...say no more!
