Lynn Beard what a superstar. Lynn was on the selling side of our sale and purchase and she really made us feel valued and like she was working not just for our seller but for us as well. Super informative, really lovely to talk to and it was a genuine pleasure! Other team members stepped in when Lynn was away so thank WD team!

Stephen was an amazing throughout the entire process. We had some frustrating points due to very slow solicitors but Stephen stayed on top of what was outstanding, was always available to answer questions and just generally really helpful. I highly recommend!

I cannot fault the agents Williams & Donovan. They were always available to give any help and advise on selling my home. I was always given feedback from all viewings so you were not left wondering. Once sold I dealt with Lynn who kept me up to date with regular updates on the progression of the chain and was on the ball to keep things moving. I would highly recommend all at W&D.

I could not be happier with the service I was given. Outstanding W & D team from start to finish. I was updated after every viewing and when I sold the property I was kept informed every week with the progression of the sale. A special thanks to Mark and Lyn who always went the extra mile to make sure things ran smoothly. I would recommend these Estate Agents to anyone. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

I am amazed at the service provided by Williams and Donovan. I purchased my property through them and was given updates weekly. Paul was fantastic and contacted all parties in the chain regularly to keep things moving. I am in no doubt that without his dedication and perseverance it could have fallen through. Williams and Donovan really are head and shoulders above the rest. I wouldn’t recommend or use anyone else!

I cannot praise the whole Team highly enough. Very professional, organised, friendly and helpful. The sales team were slick and organised, and Stephanie in after sales was superb, very knowledgeable, organised and persistent, nothing got past her, and relentlessly kept the process on track. The Team made it a very pleasant journey.

Was renting a property for a year with Williams and Donovan. Very helpful and lovely team who were always happy to help. I started at 18 where as a lot of places wouldn't consider me they gave me extra help. Some one came to view the flat every 3 months and always asked if Everything was running right and if I was happy there. Couldn't say thank you enough, would 100% recommend and use again in future.

Best Estate Agent to use in Benfleet! I couldn't have hoped for a better service from Williams and Donovan's Benfleet office recently. Not only did they sell my property really quickly after it hit the market (and to lovely buyers too) they did everything in their power to help me find my new home (including chasing up other unresponsive agents in the area). Our chain had some complications leading up towards exchange and the team did everything possible to help get us over the line to complete on time, I can't thank them enough for this, had it not been for all of their efforts in chasing around we probably would not have completed on time! Everyone you speak to at Williams and Donovan are friendly, knowledgeable, caring, considerate and efficient. They always answer the phones, respond promptly to emails and with great customer care to boot. I cannot in any way fault the service I received in both selling and buying. Highly recommended!

Williams & Donovan were really on the ball with the whole sale, especially Denise who rang every week to keep us updated on what was happening, roller coaster of a journey but with everyone’s help we got there. Really good at returning calls and answering emails and always felt they had your best interest at the forefront. Would highly recommend them to everyone, thank you 😊

Williams & Donovan Benfleet were fantastic from marketing through to sale. Upon making an initial enquiry I had Darren around the house, we agreed to market and it was published within 24hrs. They were able to get us many appointments & we had a sale within 2 weeks. Cannot fault anything. The team there are fantastic and come thoroughly recommended if you're looking to buy/sell a home in the Benfleet area.
