GoogleI dealt with Terri and Olivia at the Billericay branch. Both were fantastic. Olivia was very professional and lovely to work with - she pushed hard to get my sale finalised before Christmas and I am very grateful to her for that. She was always on hand for advice and couldnβt have made the process any easier - thank you very much!

GoogleA big thank you to the Billericay branch of Connells, managed by Terri and her team, Kieran and Abbie. They are something special, very professional and go that extra mile to help you through the process. Our sale went very well and we sold quickly. We then looked for a property out of the area, Kieran called contacts he had in that area who then called us to help. Nothing is to much trouble for this branch and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

GoogleJust wanted to say a huge thank you to Terri and the team at Billericay Connells. From the moment Kieran showed us the property to us completing yesterday they have been flawless.
Kieran was smartly dressed and knowledgable on the property, he was very respectful to the owner and didnβt try and blag answers to questions he didnβt know and instead found out the answers and let us know.
Terri is a Saint. She has been so patient with us and was professional throughout. If I were selling I would be highly confident that Connells will do a great job for you and from a buyers perspective they were friendly, professional and went the extra mile. They answer calls quickly and get back to you when they say they are going to.
Keep up the great work guys and thank you for helping us with our move to Billericay π

GoogleI had the pleasure of meeting Abbie for a viewing on one of Connells properties, which I ended up making an offer on. Abbie has been an absolute professional from start to finish of that process. She has been friendly, informative and very responsive. She is a fantastic representation of not only her branch, but the company Connells. She is an asset to your team, and I would highly recommend this branch to anyone looking to use an estate agency. Thank you for changing my opinion on estate agents after having bad luck and service with others!

Our experience with Douglass Allen was incredibly disappointing from start to finish. When selling our house, the property was not put on the market for three weeks and was not listed on Rightmove in a timely manner, causing unnecessary delay from the outset.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review and we regret that you were unhappy with some aspects of the service provided.
We apologise for the delay with the property going live and can appreciate that this would have caused you an element of frustration, as would any shortfalls in the communication provided. We appreciate the importance of prompt and effective communication at what is often a stressful time and we would always wish to learn that we made the process less stressful for our customers.
Should you wish to discuss any aspect of the transaction in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Support department on 01702 540802 or on customer.support@arunestates.co.uk.

TrustpilotProfessional, helpful, friendly staff
This was my first experience of selling a property by auction. My initial contact was with Greg who did the valuation and explained the ins and outs of selling by auction. His team arranged the photographs, setting up the auction and viewings. They kept me informed of all viewing appointments as they became arranged and reported feedback where received. Staff were always friendly and helpful and dealt with any queries I had promptly. Special thanks to Phebi, Luke and particularly to Michelle, who went above and beyond to chase completion so it finally took place on the day, right before closing time.Well done everyone and thank you.

We have used Douglas Allan Basilidon on many occassions, using them to buy and sell property.We have recently sold a house. Greg Wade (manager) came to view the house and advised us on the value and selling options ( we had researched the prices locally and was glad that Greg valued it realistically ). the viewings were trouble free, and we were kept informed of all the offers. When we decided to accept an offer, Michelle Brown was very good at keeping us informed and was able to answer all our questions through to exchange.Over all a pleasant and stress free experience again.

TrustpilotAn estate agent who listens
Ian was extremely helpful and found my wife and I the perfect property within our budget. We were trying unsuccessfully to find a house in Epping when she spoke to Ian. He listened to our requirements and budget and suggested a few properties, one of which I was not interested in. Over the following weeks Ian kept suggesting we visit this property, as it had everything we wanted and more. Eventually I agreed to go if only to stop him going on about it. I walked into the house and could not believe the space downstairs, by the time we saw the first floor we decided it was the home we were looking for. The process of selling and buying property is never straight forward, but Ian and the team were very supportive and good communication made the process less stressful than we anticipated.

TrustpilotThank you Jodie, Joana and Luisa
My partner and I have been looking for a property to rent in London. We came across a property that we were really interested however it took a long time for us to hear a feedback from the Landlord and thought we wouldnt be getting the property. We were surprised when we received a call from them updating us and recommending another property that is to our liking. We didnt expect for them to be very proactive, helpful and really good communicators. We appreciate there help so much. We then have an interest to another property and went through the referencing process. We thought it was really tedious process but they were very supportive. When we had some questions they were really quick to pick up the phone and help us with our queries especially Jodie. She was a very lovely person. We then had to back out in renting the property due to some personal reasons. When we explained to them they were very understanding. They still supported us and continued to be good communicators. Over all our experience to the team was very pleasant. Kuddos to Jodie, Joana and Luisa who were very helpful and are very lovely people.
