If I could give six stars I would

If I could give six stars I would! Great service from valuation to handing keys over on move day. Billy and his team where extremely attentive & professional throughout. I cant speak highly enough of Balgores of Hornchurch.

This is from a perspective of someone…

This is from a perspective of someone who worked at Balgores and saw how clients and buyers were treated as as staff.i left Balgores this month due to being sworn at a lot in the office as well as shouted at I was spoken to in a certain way and I had enough of this I noticed that the men in the office wouldn’t help the lady vendors or buyers as much and did they didn’t get mortgage/ solicitors out of them then they wouldn’t get the property! Unfortunately this is just how it is I handed my resignation in and moved company’s they said not to work my notice period as I’m a “competitor” now with the new company and said I would be paid the same as they have already threatened me with no pay for a week even though I did work that last week. It’s a awful company over all such a shame as Essex office is lovely Gravesend however not so much

Balgores Hornchurch were fantastic

I would definitely recommend Balgores Hornchurch. The whole team are extremely professional and hardworking. Selling a property can be a really stressful process but I felt supported and looked after throughout. Thank you to Billy and Callum for your passion, great personalities and knowledge. Thank you to Donna (Sale Progressor) who worked tirelessly on our behalf - your reassuring phone calls were priceless!

Thank you Joe at Brentwood

Joe at Brentwood has worked hard to get our purchase through as fast as possible. His communication has been spot on and we can’t recommend him enough. He’s friendly and professional and supported us to make the process as stress-free as possible. Joe is someone who goes above and beyond. Thank you.

Thank you to Donna in after sales for her help in navigating a particularly difficult chain. I am sorry if I was terribly annoying! We got there in the end.

Thank you Joe Hayes @Balgores for outstanding service

Thank you Joe Hayes @Balgores for selling our house so professionally. Excellent service and communication all of the time. A pleasure to use and always at the end of the phone. Excellent at chasing up progress and people when necessary. I would unreservedly recommend Balgores to anyone. Never let us down and were professionals all the way through. Thank You very much.

Joe Hayes Brentwood

Joe Hayes at Balgores Brentwood was brilliant during our purchase process. He was very efficient in chasing people up to get us to the point of exchange, and always got back to me when he said he would. He was friendly from the outset and very reliable. We would certainly look to use Balgores again in the future for our property needs.

Highly Recommend

We recently sold a property with Josh at Balgores, Josh was brilliant, he was very professional and dealt with the process quickly before then passing it to Sarah the Sales Progressor to continue the sale. Sarah was also brilliant, she dealt with our sale amazingly and was so helpful with any issues we had. We can't recommend these two highly enough!!

Excellent service

Excellent service from Joe Hayes and the team at Brentwood. All staff we spoke to were helpful and friendly during the sale process. Joe was always calm and reassuring during what was for us a very stressful time! He helped speed things up before exchange when things became a little complicated! No hesitation whatsoever in recommending them!

Absolutely terrible!!!

I inherited Balgores when they bought out my property management company, and it has been the worst experience ever. If i could give them zero stars I would. Do not let Balgores manage your property because my experience with them is that they don’t give a damn, and just collect your money every month. An inspection was not done of my rental house in two years, they “forgot” to pay me for three months, and then when I requested my rent they shorted me a month until I requested they rectify it, they have charged me double for repairs, won’t give me copies of documents because “they are in storage”, and don’t attend to hazardous items on property inspections until you bring them to their attention, etc. It has just been a complete nightmare!!!!!Update March 2024I requested that I get my property back in March 2022, via an email to Paul Loding, regional lettings manager. I don't believe that initiated the process because he never responded to my request. Six months later, I made the same request to Amanda Farmer, and I believe that she got the ball rolling. I have a 12 month lease with a clause stating that I would get my property back with the tenants rehoused in approximately 60 days. It is 2 years later, and I keep being told that the council has nowhere to put the tenant. I have not had an increase in my rent in 8 years so I know that I am not getting the fair market value in rent. I feel that I have been misled because I was not told that the 60 days could be two years or more, as far as getting my house back vacant, as I would never have signed up for that. It is as though it is not my property. I am very upset as I cannot sell my property as I had planned. Their resolution is to advise me to get a solicitor! I would advise everyone not to enter into any letting contracts with Balgores. Furthermore, I am not getting copies of contractor invoices that I have been asking for since October of 2023. I don't know why that is an issue with Balgores, as the previous company was transparent and would freely provide me with contractor invoices promptly.

Purchase completed in under 6 weeks!

Purchase completed in under 6 weeks! James was brilliant in handling the initial viewing and negotiations to help us secure the property the same evening! Donna was superb in talking to both sides and chasing docs to avoid any delays. The office are always on the ball with calls & emails, I couldn't ask for more from an estate agent!

Extremely unprofessional

Extremely unprofessional, like others have similarly experienced, they do not respond to email enquiries nor telephone calls. Rather u helpful and abrupt when you contact on their social media and only reply on there as it’s a public platform. I will never recommend this business and I will make sure others know how they act towards potential tenants, maybe they discriminate against a certain group, who knows. But sadly, a very negative experience and for that I will never recommend this company. They also then remove any comments with negative experiences shared on their social media.

Great Agency

Great Agency, amazing staff. They have made our buying experience so easy, as we were first time buyers we had no idea what needs to be done. They explained the whole process, recommended Morgage advisor, who later on recommended solicitors. We managed to move in to our new home in 3 months. Thank you all!

Worst experience we’ve ever had

Worst experience we’ve ever had. We moved in despite them after securing a key ourselves. Rang 9pm night before telling us we couldn’t move in because a new boiler was being fitted!! No thought to where we might live , no common sense, just ‘computer says no ‘ attitude. No idea who gas was with or electric or WiFi basically getting paid 12% management fee to do nothing. Would never ren or buy a house that had Balgores as agentsAs is typical of Balgores I contacted as requested, told me he was on holiday and would follow up on his return, can only guess he’s on a very long holiday as no contact to date, don’t use them
