Burchell Edwards Belper reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

I bought a house through Burchell Edwards over the summer of 2025. Adam in the Belper office negotiated the sale and stayed involved periodically to help make sure everything completed successfully. He showed great sensitivity to my own priorities and an ability to present these to the seller with an awareness of their own concerns. I'm very happy with the outcome.

Our experience with Burchell Edwards…

Our experience with Burchell Edwards during the sale of our home was extremely disappointing. I wish I could give zero stars but unfortunately there is no such option.Initially, they seemed promising, but it quickly became apparent that their service was lacking. They rarely answer phone calls, and when they do, the staff often admit they are new and unsure how to assist. Attempts to speak with senior team members were futile; they were never available and never returned calls, emails, or voicemails.Moreover, they are not cheap either; our seller paid much less to another agent who were just brilliant. When we tried to chase them for updates, we were told not to chase and that they would respond when they had time, which never happened.There was no follow-up on the sale, and we had to chase all parties involved ourselves. The only call we received from Burchell Edwards was on completion day, after everything was sorted by us.In summary, do not use Burchell Edwards if you are serious in selling your property and unless you want the additional stress of managing everything yourself. Their service was not worth the hassle and added unnecessary frustration to an already stressful process.

Very dissappointed

Very dissappointed, my son and daughter in law let down, property on the market at £200k Offered £202k offer accepted and letter sent to them by Burchell Edwards, advised to use there mortgage advisor but there costs were high so they decided to use a independent advisor, after instructing them a week later they send a email to say the vendor has received a higher offer so here's your last chance to up your offer again, No deffinatly not, I hope they sleep well at night knowing how they affect young lives? Surely a official acceptance letter is what it says it is clearly not!!

Worst estate agency I have experienced

Worst estate agency I have experienced. It takes 3 or 4 repeated call to get through to someone who will answer the call. Then usually you will be talking to an intern or trainee who know nothing about the queries you are raising, followed by a void promise that they will call back to you which will never happen. As a seller, you shall never use them, as they have a “smart” strategy to make you think they sold your property above market price by significantly undervalue your property, then put into market for people to view, meanwhile, as they short of hands or purely being lazy, they will push away dozens of potential buyer’s queries ( or simply not answer the call or email). You may get a price above asking price but that is because the original valuation is poor. Moreover, they will forcefully asking buyer to take on their recommend Connell broker to “get a better chance a win a bid”. If you are not using their broker, you probably won’t get the property even if you are offering good price.

Worse company for letting and selling

Worse company for letting and selling ! They take your money on management and never look after the property on lettings ! When tenant left , that was it , no support to get my money ! Did no checks even though promised 3 a year ! House was a tip when left and never got my money . Taking to ombudsman ! Definitely a bunch of liars ! My health has been affected by the nightmares I ve gone through with this company .selling aswell! They actually said that they told other agency that tenants were good payers so they d leave ! ( how shocking and unprofessional !) as they were going to try and sell property ( I couldn’t afford mortgage so needed to sell ) and tenants were being awkward . They had allowed tenants to change things to property without my approval! They had 3 dogs in the house and the way the tenants left the house was terrible !

Nikita was absolutely amazing

Nikita was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She really did go above and beyond and nothing was ever to much. She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, always got back to us when she said she would. She also is such a lovely girl, professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Nikita, she was an absolute delight to deal with. It really made the process stress free knowing I had someone reliable helping me. Would highly recommend Nikita. Could not fault in any way.

Totally incompetent branch Castle Brom

Totally incompetent branch Castle Brom, would not recommend this company. They have no idea about selling properties everything is guess work incorrect house description no apology just send me what needs amending ? Really isn’t that there job ? Rude when you tell them they have input incorrect information. Not worth the stress go elsewhere.

My wife and I recently had the belper branch of burchell Edwards value a property of ours with a view to selling. Megan Power ( branch manager) conducted the service herself,she kept us updated of the appointment without being a nuisance,was on time, being professional throughout the process and answered all our questions thoroughly and patiently. Having had dealings with many estate agents over the years through business it was quite refreshing to meet a lady who took her job seriously and had the knowledge to back it up. Keep up the good work, when the house goes on the market Megan will be the first person we will call, Steve Lee

Not even worth one star

If zero stars were possible, this company would deserve it. I trusted Burchell Edwards (Connells Group) with full management of my property. The result? • My tenant moved out early, but they failed to carry out a timely check-out. • They withheld and contradicted information for weeks. • They demanded £135+VAT for an inspection that should have been part of their service. • They repeatedly chased me to release the tenant’s deposit before resolving my complaint. • When I escalated to The Property Ombudsman, Connells’ delays and tactics meant the case wasn’t accepted. Two months of stress, endless emails, and still no accountability but harassments weekly email My advice: do not entrust your property to this company. They take their fees but not their responsibilities.

Avoid them with all costs.

Avoid them with all costs.As a landlord I can say they are the worst agency. Would never use them again.I gave them 2 flats for rental. Had problems with both of them, both times.They only know how to take off your money but will not take care of your property.One of the flats had all bathroom tiles broken, had to change half of the kitchen that was brand new before giving them the flat.Did not even received the deposit.. They said (there is nothing we can do as we forgot to take dated photos before renting the flat).So.. after puting it together.. I paid more for fixings then I reiceived from rent.. Really bad customer service. Even made a complaint few months ago.. and nobody answered or called me back regarding it.

Not Great

Sold our property through the Belper branch, the whole process was hard work! Where do I start… pictures were poor quality and promised a video tour which I continually chased and never got, the listing was full of typos and was re-written 3 times despite detailed emails from myself and phone calls. I had to provide some of my own pictures for rooms that weren’t photographed. We found a buyer ourselves and directed them to Burchell for a viewing but they were rude and un-accommodating so our buyer refused to deal with them and pulled out. Staff (except Adam) unapproachable, rude, patronising and condescending. Burchell did go on to find us a buyer which I am grateful for but…….the day of completion, funds for our property didn’t clear and our keys were handed over to the buyer and she moved in. We didn’t get the funds until 3 days later!!! A huge breach of contract. Wouldn’t recommend or use again unfortunately.

Hannah was amazing at letting our property

We’ve had one of our buy-to-let properties managed by Birchall Edwards for a number of years, and they have always let and managed it to a very high standard. Most recently, following the refurbishment of a three-bedroom property, Hannah in the lettings team was able to find and secure the ideal tenants, perfectly matching our requirements as landlords, while ensuring the property suited their needs as a long-term home. Hannah’s professionalism, dedication, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. She strikes the perfect balance between looking after landlords and ensuring tenants are truly happy in their new home. Congratulations, Hannah, you’re a real credit to the team at Birchall Edwards.

Honestly the worst agency I have ever…

Honestly the worst agency I have ever dealt with. They never pick up the line. Ever. We made an application and have had to chase daily for updates. I honestly think they are a scam company at this point. Keiran was lovely at first but since they took our deposit have proven to be a nightmare. Saddest thing is all I want to have is an update on whether or not we can progress but the rare time we do get through we are told the landlord is in China and still has not gotten back to them. This was 5 days ago.

Worst estate agent I’ve ever…

Worst estate agent I’ve ever experienced. Tried to persuade us down the auction route and then quoted £3900 for a traditional sale, which was £1100 more than any other estate agent we contacted. Clearly thought they could take advantage of us but thankfully we are not novices and went elsewhere. Would never recommend them.

Can not thank Fay Morton enough for assisting us with our mortgage. As first time buyers the whole process can be so daunting and she explained everything to us in detail and went through all the options that would be best for us. Nothing was too much to ask and she took all the stress off our shoulders. Jordan at the Belper office was also a delight, very professional and helpful helping us purchase our first home! Would highly recommend!

Use any other letting agents!

As a former tenant of two years, please do not use this letting agency to rent a property!! If I could have given zero stars, trust me, I would have.Absolutely awful customer service from when we first started to look at properties from Adam and Elyse, who we had to deal with in February 2020. Adam who I believe was the lettings manager at the time, was very rude to our heavily pregnant Sister-In-Law who lived in the area and very kindly said she would view the property on our behalf as we had to go back home to Essex. Elyse never even bothered to turned up to said viewing or even inform our SIL.Elyse seemed to know very little information on a property we first went to view and she just wasn't very helpful in general. We were doing a big move from Essex to Derbyshire and weren't able to view the property we did end up with. We were told a facetime with herself would be done or up-to-date pictures sent over, neither happened even after chasing. We were also told the property would be cleaned beforehand, this ended up being the previous tenant and they must have been blind because the bottles of half empty alcohol, uncooked rice, rubbish and MOULD left in cupboards was an absolute joke.Also Olivia Perchard and Alisya Cowley who we have had the unfortunate pleasure of having to speak to during our time of trying to move from the property and searching for a new one these last few months, has been an experience I don't recommend. From having a home check done by Alisya and saying everything is absolutely fine (I have an email to confirm this), speaking to Olivia as new viewings of the property had to be held and once again having to inform Burchell Edwards that we have a severe case of mould throughout the whole property and being told they'd report this again and to just clean as much as possible before anyone new viewed the property (basically just hide the problem instead of resolving it). We had been reporting everything through their online portal for the last two years, had at least six engineers out that all told us similar repairs needed to be done and never saw any of them again. Now I know it's down to the landlord to accept repairs, but for Olivia to act like that's the first they had ever heard of it when we were due to hand the keys back in less than a month was madness.We also had a leaky immersion heater, no heating and a fence panel down for the last two, almost three weeks we were living in the property. We reported that the immersion heater was leaking on 17/02/22, that a fence panel was down (due to storm Eunice) on 18/02/22 and that we had no heating on 21/02/22. No engineers were sent out before we handed the keys back to the letting agents on 05/03/22. The only contact we had was via text to say that someone would be in touch and we never heard anything again.Olivia and Alisya were just the most incompetent letting agents I have ever spoken to or communicated with via email, especially when it came to trying to view properties with Burchell Edwards or just to find out whether a property took pets. The only time they're hot on your tail to speak to you is when it concerned them and they needed you for something, calling my other half twice a day every day for five days, even though he works full-time and not able to use his phone whilst at work. But not bothering to contact myself when they knew I would be available to speak to.All in all, renting with Burchell Edwards has been a shambles from start to finish and I would highly recommend you steer clear, as they all seem to be very young, severely under trained, unprofessional and lacking any sort of customer service skills.I know I won't ever get a response from Burchell Edwards as they won't care about what one tenant has to say about them. I'm putting this on here in the hopes that anyone thinking about potentially renting from them will read this and use somewhere else instead.

Stay away from Burchell Edwards and…

Stay away from Burchell Edwards and Ashley Adams!! Also avoid the Nightingale Quarters in Derby to rent, you will be highly disappointed and miss sold a dream. The company were quick to declining us requesting to move our end of tenancy date by a day as we no longer needed the extra day that we originally requested (we gave 3 weeks notice) as this had ‘now all been agreed with third parties and cannot be amended’ but constantly called me and partner the week leading up to our end date, asking if we needed to extend our tenancy for any reason - anything to get extra money from you. They will also send you an unfair end of tenancy report claiming damages that were already in the property when you moved in. Absolute shambles of a company!!
