arrogant, rude and not serious

Prior to the viewing they asked inappropriately detailed questions about finances as if you're trying to buy Buckingham Palace. On arrival the owner wasn't in and was never informed of the viewing. Balgores response: Ah well, bad luck. We don't even bother look at their property listings anymore, to us they're obvious scammers.

Excellent communication, great service.

We have recently sold our home through Balgores. We have been highly impressed by the team and their support. In particular Joe and Michael who have always been very easy to contact, knowledgeable and helpful. We are particularly impressed by the very comprehensive information gathering that takes place as offers are made. This means you can feel confident that the finance and chain links are as secure as possible. Communication throughout the process has been excellent. We’d highly recommend. Thank you Balgores.

I wanted to say a massive thank you to Balgores Property Leasing Team

I wanted to say a massive thank you to Conor, Charisse and the rest of your team. You really do a great job dealing with us your landlords and of course the wonderful tenants. You always are professional, attentive, on top of any issues and always ready to give advice regarding tradesmen for repairs, general work needed to the property. Also, you work so well as a liaison between Landlord and tenants. I would like to make it known to your bosses how much I appreciate all that you do as a team.I would also like to give a massive praise to Dan Day one of your contractors you use and recommend. When my last tenant moved out there was some work that I wanted to have some work done on the property. You recommended Dan and I cannot praise him enough! He has been very professional, hardworking, executes work in a very timely manner, accommodating, always looking out for your best interest. He is a pleasure to work with and a massive asset to you. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Highly recommended

Jo and Billy were brilliant at steering me through the sale of my flat. Messages were answered quickly, queries were solved and when I was uncertain they were very re-assuring. All done with good humour. I couldn't have asked for an easier passage through what can be a very confusing and stressful process.

Very professional and was patient and consistent when getting back to me with all the information requested. Thanks to Balgores, my property purchase went smooth and I'm so grateful. I highly recommend them.

Simply the Best

My 90 yr old parents decided to move from Cornwall to Essex to be near family, and found a property through Basildon Balgores. The whole process was complicated by the pandemic but throughout, all the staff have been friendly, informative and (important to us) true to their word. Once my parents decided on a property, Sarah has been keeping us updated and answered a whole array of questions and concerns promptly, honesty and with good humor. Sarah has been the nicest person throughout and so on the case. We are nearing the end (fingers crossed), of this experience and we truly feel the members of staff at Basildon Balgores deserve recognition of the service they have provided to us. Thank you all.

Faith Restored!!

I had the pleasure of working with Kellee on the sale of my property and having gone through a terrible experience with my previous estate agent I was really jaded. Kellee is the epitome of professional. She gave me all the information I needed and reassured me. My buyer was found in a little over a week after listing and for the price I wanted so need for endless haggling. Totally recommend Kellee. Thanks so much for restoring my faith in Estate Agents!@

Balgores Upminster were great

Balgores Upminster were great, we sold our property quickly then lost out buyers, literally the whole branch worked tirelessly to find a replacement buyer. Branch Manager Richard was great when he valued our house, no pressure to go with them and when we did he didn't try to influence which package to go with. Both Chris & Heather in branch were able to step in and out of helping us easily so we felt very looked after. Communication was clear, advice was freely offered and when I wobbled whoever picked the phone up took the time to clam me down. We have a lovely new home thanks to Balgores Upminster and I can't thank them enough!!

Perfect from start to finish!

We recently sold our previous property and also purchased our new property, through Balgores Dagenham. Curtis done a fantastic job handling the sale of our house (for above asking price) and then provided us with a number of properties that fit our needs perfectly. He made us feel at ease throughout the whole process, especially given the current situation with the pandemic and also made us feel like friends rather than a client. I can’t recommend Curtis enough if you are looking to buy or sell!

Couldn't have done enough for me, definitely would use Balgores again

I had to sell and purchase a property given some unfortunate personal circumstances, and Curtis at Balgores handled both for me. These weren't straight forward transactions, however Curtis and the team handled it all for me to make it as seamless as possible. The transactions went through quicker than expected and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Estate agents often get a bad reputation, but these guys go above and beyond to help you and their advice and expertise is invaluable!

Wish I went with Balgores to begin with

I've been looking to sell my house now for the past 9 months which in current conditions was difficult and after trying a couple of different agencies a friend told me to try Balgores in Dagenham as they helped them to sell their property. Curtis was the agent I first had the pleasure of meeting. He dealt with me in a very professional and friendly manner and made sure to keep me informed every step of way. Would highly recommend.

Balgores SWF

We were considering using an on-line agent, but we are now glad we didn't. We sold through Balgores during covid, having completed our sale in November. They were very professional and carried out our viewings for us. Their service was excellent, always available by both telephone and email, and it was convenient to pop into their offices should the occasion arise. We would like to thank Tom and Craig for their expertise and guiding us through the sale transaction, and we would also like to thank Marie who dealt with the completion of our sale. They all went beyond their roles, and we are very grateful.

All round excellent service - Balgores Romford

From start to finish the service provided by Gavin and team at Balgores Romford was excellent! From the first instruction to sell our property, the service was fantastic with regular updates reducing all the stresses that are associated with moving houses. Gavin put everything into Layman's terms and what really impressed us was the speed and efficiency of the process. Top quality photography was followed by numerous viewings and we were delighted with the amount of interest generated in such a short amount of time. All of this organised so carefully in the midst of a pandemic. The regular updates whether about viewings, offers or progress of the sale legalities, we always felt well informed from Gavin and the team.I would highly recommend Balgores Romford and would not hesitate to use their services again!

Balgores Basildon

We used balgores in basildon to buy our first home. We must say they were very helpful throughout the whole process and would always be happy to answer any questions or queries that we had. A special thanks to Nyall and Sarah who were very polite, extremely helpful and did their best to make sure we were satisfied and help us understand the whole process as we didn’t know a lot being first time buyers. Would highly recommend.

Abi and Mackensie have been amazing!

Abi and Mackensie have been amazing. As first time buyer it was so lovely to have someone like Abi who could help us navigate things we were not sure about and she was able to get our mortgage offer submitted quickly! Mackensie has been a huge help with things behind the scenes and worked very quickly to get an error corrected on our offer!

Great for Lettings

I have recently used Balgores (Basildon) to rent out my first BTL property. Michael has been fantastic. Very friendly, informative and was happy to answer all of my questions. He kept me updated and guided me through the process, making it all stress free. I would highly recommend using Balgores to Let out your property and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Underpricing for quick sales and commission!

Negative Estate agent made us feel depleted and stressed after he left. Told us we would be lucky to sell the property. Got another agent who priced us 40k more! and was completely positive in the sale. Obviously working for quick sale and commission. avoid

Katrina was awesome and friendly agent at Balgores

My husband and I were looking for a flat to start a family when came across Balgores Property Romford. We had excellent experience with one of the agents whose name is Katrina. She showed us the property and was extremely helpful, allowed me to make measurements and was very patient. Katrina was very knowledgeable about the property and gave very useful advise. It was our first time looking for a property to rent as we were recently married and Katrina made it pleasurable experience. I had so many questions about the renting process including tenancy checks and Balgores Property and Katrina were always happy to help and make things easy for me. I would recommend my family and friends to see Katrina at Balgores Property. Excellent team. So happy with the service

Not a pleasant customer experience. 0/5

Had a recent viewing for a duplex. The agent who showed us around was not accommodating and not knowledgeable about the property, telling us that all details will be in the pack that she has given us. Also made it a point to tell us that she has other people coming to view the property soon and wanting us out of the property. Also gave me a call back and asked why we viewed the flat if we now realise we want a house. As a customer, I would not want to deal with an agent who thinks that customers are dispensable just because there is a boom with housing sales. We viewed the flat as we were looking for either flats or houses and our viewings have led us to solidify our choice for wanting a house instead. We would have considered this is property if not for the subpar experience we've had. It is not up to the customer to read up on the property because as an estate agent, you should know what you are trying to sell. I think agents sometimes forget that the customer will only put their money into a company that makes the whole process of moving houses a less stressful experience than it already is.
