Maria Ticehurst and the Walthamstow team

Maria has been an absolute joy to deal with. We are made up with the level of service she has provided. Her communication, integrity and clear passion for what she does has no doubt helped us buy a flat of our dreams. We have dealt with a number of estate agents over the previous months and her level service has surpassed previous experience and expectation. Transparent, professional, communicative and the best part; always greets you with a smile beaming from her face. Thank you so much Maria. Sophie and Ed x

Rental

We have rented our bungalow out via Douglas Allan, due to covid-19 we did think things would become difficult but Joanna Alexis kept us informed at all times. She found us a great tenant, and ensured everything was sorted in a timely fashion. We received our payment within a couple of days via bank transfer (which is much better than other estate agents who I have used in the past, who used to send me a cheque). Helpful, friendly and informative!

Highly recommend

Highly recommendI'm very pleased I used Ryan as my mortgage broker. As a First Time Buyer, the process was always going to be stressful as I have never gone through anything like this before, however, Ryan and the team helped ease the stress of it all.I can only say great things about my experience with Ryan. I didn’t think I could get a mortgage for the property I wanted, but Ryan secured one for me, taken the strain away throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble for him.Ryan was quick to get back to me and held my hand throughout the whole process, providing information and recommendations for any issue encountered. Thank you thank you thank you

As a FTB

As a FTB, Sarah and Robin were very proactive in getting all the information that I needed in order to make an informed decision in buying the right property. Before I spoke to Will, I struggled to get a mortgage and was concerned I wasn't going to be able to get unto the property ladder however after meeting with Will and him reviewing my unique circumstances, he recommended next steps and within 4 days I received a mortgage offer on a competitive rate.Post purchase, the service has been excellent and the team is still answering any questions I have. I recommend Sarah, Robin and Will of the Chigwell branch if you want to purchase any property in that area

Chadwell Heath Branch excellent service

Chadwell Heath Branch - excellent!From the time we met Michelle we felt we could just relax and let her and her team get on with the sale of our house. We had been with another agency and basically wasted the whole summer. In 3 days Michelle and the Chadwell Heath team booked in 60 viewings for the open day, then sent round 2 agents to greet the viewers while we left them to it. It was amazing, we walked away seeing queues of interested buyers on our drive. We love the online service, you can see the offers coming in and they certainly did, for the asking price and more. Our house sold to a buyer from the open day, basically 3 days to sell it. The team continue to help with regular weekly updates on each stage of the sale process. As we move towards the finish line, a big thank you to Michelle and her sales team plus Charlotte and Tanya for the updates. Have already recommended you to friends and neighbours.

Wanstead Branch…

A huge heartfelt thank you to Ray and Janine for all of their support in what turned out to be a very long and challenging transaction. You never really know how good people are until there are problems and gosh we had our fair share on this sale but both Ray and Janine went beyond the call of duty time and time again to ensure the sale of my property went ahead. They were always available (even on their days off !!) to resolve any issues or offer reassurance, this was invaluable during a very stressful period. They liaised with numerous solicitors to keep me updated during the process even when it wasn’t their job to do so - nothing was too much trouble for them. I cannot recommend Ray, Janine and their team highly enough, they definitely are the best without a doubt.

Professional Service

I recently purchased a house in Ilford. My initial dealings were with Nabeel, and after my offer was accepted my contact was Tanya.Both were a pleasure to deal with and they helped to make the process as smooth and as informative as possible, which was great for me as a first time buyer. They were easy to get hold of when I had any questions and they did a good job of keeping me up to date throughout the whole process. The whole service was excellent and I'd like to thank Nabeel and Tanya for their role in helping me to secure my first property.

Quick and easy sale at good price

I've recently sold my property through the Wickford branch and all staff were extremely helpful in this surprisingly quick sale considering the current climate. Christy and her team were in touch on a weekly basis with any updates along with helpfully reminding me about viewings and were always very quick to get feedback from viewings. I was also referred to a mortgage advisor who helped up going through the costs of moving house and what we could borrow. Would highly recommend.

Brilliant

I was recommended to use Ray at the Wanstead branch by a friend who had used him to sell their home. Ray has a excellent knowledge of the local area and knows the market very well. He is very flexible and worked around my schedule. Ray was very transparent about the overall costs etc. He was sure he could sell my property quickly for the price I wanted and he delivered as promised. The sales progressor Janine helped to get the sale to completion in 6 weeks. The service I received from Janine and Ray really showed me that all the agents are definitely not the same. These guys are not amateurs, they were worth every penny.

Rude and pushy staff

Dealt with the Saturday team Spencer and Alastair today. Wasted my time in bringing me in to tell me someone had put in an offer of the property I was interested. Rude and Pushy overall wasn’t interesting in showing me property’s unless I went with their mortgage adviser.Think this reply is absolutely ridiculous. There was no need to liar in order to bring in to your office, how does this have a ‘friendly approach’ when your staff are blunt and rude? No other agencies needed to find out if I am in a strong position, as I already had a mortgage in principal set up. This just show how unprofessional and inexperienced your company is!!

Thank you Khaleesha and the rest of the Woodford branch!

Bought our first property though them and they made the process very easy. If it wasn't for Khaleesha from their Woodford branch then we probably never would have gotten that property as she was very flexible in getting us a viewing so late on in the day! Khaleesha was very personable and knew a lot about the property and area. She also took time to get to know us and what we were looking for. We felt really lucky for her to handle our purchase.

Chigwell branch were a pleasure to deal with

Robin Bowden, Branch Partner at Chigwell was very professional at all times and his knowledge of the area and how best to market the property was first class. I was concerned about the sale of my property in Chigwell as I didn't live in the area, but Robin had done his research and put me at ease straight away. Within the first few weeks there was a huge amount of interest and the property finally sold at the asking price. Robin took full responsibility in the negotiating and processing of offers and he managed to achieve the full asking price with buyer's in the strongest position to proceed with a successful completion.Robin's Team in the Chigwell office were all very helpful in Robin's absence, particularly Sarah who put me in touch with a clearance company and I entrusted her to deal with that matter efficiently. As I didn't live in the area, it was never any problem for a member of the Team to check the property and take meter readings. Such a relief for me to know that everything was safe in their hands.Overall an excellent experience!

A breeze compared to previous experiences!

Having sold my own home in 2018, which took 14 months, 2 buyers and 3 lost purchases, ending up with split chains and a rental property in between, I was not looking forward to moving my 75 year old parent.However, I'm so relieved to now be able to write how different each house move can be. Robin Bowden, Branch Partner at Chigwell was always professional, as too were most members of his team. Within the first two weeks of marketing the property, we had 27 viewings booked, although not all people turned up, which is par for the course! Robin took full responsibility for processing offers and negotiations, and managed 3-4 offers in total, which resulted in us obtaining and accepting a good/fair offer on the property. We could of taken a higher offer, but based on Robin's advice, we chose not to be greedy and proceeded with the buyers in the most strongest position, to secure a quick and successful completion. Once the sale price had been agreed, Tanya from the Wickford Office, kept us up to date with the legal proceedings, and in times when Tanya was absent, Robin stepped in, which was most welcomed.Overall, an extremely good experience: 11 weeks from the house being marketed, to contracts being exchanged (somewhat different to my previous 14 month experience, thank goodness!). Whilst there is always an element of fate with house buying and selling, a professional, reliable estate agent (and solicitor) significantly contributes to its success too.

Woodford office

After 7 months without a real offer on my house sale I thought changing Estate agents would do little. Steve Ford, came, he saw, he sold! He came well prepared with all the information to back up his claims to make a sale and to make the very best representation of my property. The property photos or the board never got out, they sold it the same day.Steve has the backing of a good network and excellent team members - sales manager khaleesha Said-Loveday has been an excellent and diligent support throughout the process. Also a mention for Keith Langford for chasing up all parties during the process. Thanks to all and obviously recommend them.

Although buying the home was a stressful task, Aseena was always courteous polite and professional from start to finish and this was the 2nd time I’ve bought a house, without doubt I’ve never had as good an experience dealing with an estate agent before.

Excellent Service

David and the team at Hornchurch were excellent! I had been let down by other agents and after seeing a few I decided to move over to Dougals Allen. They understood that keeping me informed was important, especially having had a sale fall through a week before exchange with other agents. I am so happy that I decided to trust David and the team with my sale. Once a sale was agreed Chelsey worked closely with myself and the buyers to progress and agree any further negotiations helping it run smoothly. Everyone I dealt with was knowledgeable and friendly, I would highly recommend their services.

Stephen's team at Woodford Green are the top agents in the area.

We completed our sale in late March 2019 at 490k. We first marketed the property in August 2018, this time period was probably the most turbulent in the property market for 10 years. We trusted Stephen's 500k valuation on our property, even though other agents in August 2018 gave us a value range of 425k-450k. Khaleesha was excellent at selling our property to potential buyers. Kieth was invaluable by ensuring our chain kept moving forward. I would not hesitate in recommending Stephen and his team if you are thinking of selling in the Woodford area.

We sold our house via the Walthamstow office care of Maria Ticehurst, Ben and team. We can thoroughly recommend them. The service was excellent and they kept us well informed of all developments, viewings and offers. Offers: Plural offers! We had many to choose from and with Maria’s expertise and experience in handing all parties we were able to get a fantastic price. In this respect she really comes into her own. We were thrilled!Ben did the majority of the viewings and was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and professional. He demonstrated great care showcasing our home in its best light and listened patiently to our endless facts about the renovations we’d completed, whilst effortlessly incorporating all the info into his tours.
