Would highly recommend W&D Benfleet. From start to finish they were friendly and professional in what turned out to be a problematic sale. Thank you Lynn for all that you did to push this sale through and keeping us calm and informed at all times.

I want to thank W&D (Benfleet) and in particular, the wonderful Lynn. We’ve had a very difficult 6 months trying to purchase a property due to the chain falling through numerous times and problems with solicitors. We were on a tight deadline with our mortgage offer very expiring soon and if it hadn’t been for all her hard work we definitely wouldn’t have exchanged in time for completion before this deadline. She was emotionally invested in our journey to completion and I could genuinely feel how much she cared for us. Thank you Lynn and to all the Williams and Donovan team. I will be recommending you to family and friends! X

Lynne and the team at Williams and Donovan have been a tremendous amount of help with the purchase of my first home. Lynne made sure to keep me up to date at each stage of the way and helped put my mind at rest when with any of my queries as buying a house for the first time can be a daunting process. I strongly recommend anyone to use them, as their professionalism and customer care is second to none!

Lloyd at Williams and Donovan (Benfleet) was supportive and informative from the moment he came to value our property. Photographs were taken immediately, house particulars were drawn up within a day or 2, energy reports were arranged and a buyer was found within days of putting our house on the market. From then on most of my dealings were with Lynn at the Benfleet office, and this lady certainly knows what she is doing. She knew our 'chain' thoroughly, and did not hesitate to chase people up left right and centre to keep things on track and moving along swiftly. Her professionalism kept me sane and I simply can not thank her enough. I have already recommended Williams and Donovan to a colleague, and I would not hesitate to recommend them in the future too.

Fantastic company after being with another company and not much happening selling or buying, as soon as we switched to Williams and Donavan in Benfleet. We had the right people looking at our property and had sold in a matter of a few weeks. They also found us the perfect property to buy. Everyone there was so helpful in their own way but special thanks to Darren and Lloyd for all the extra leg work you put in, we really appreciated it. I would highly recommend this company.

I recently bought a house through Williams and Donovan, and their service on both the offer and completion side of things was perfect. When going through the stage of making offers on a property, Mark was in no way pushy and was advising me on the vendors interests and kept excellent communication. The process of purchasing and completion was handled by Lynn, who was a refreshing voice to hear when trying to deal with my atrocious solicitors, and who ended up doing a lot of their leg work. Williams and Donovan went above and beyond for both myself and the vendor, and as I sit surrounded by cardboard boxes I can't think of anything they could have done better.

My partner and I have recently purchased our first house through Williams and Donovan’s Benfleet. We can’t thank everyone at Williams and Donovan’s Benfleet enough, inparticular Jo Jones as she provided guidance and regularly kept us updated throughout the process. I’d also like to thank Dean Neagen for his advice when completing our mortgage application, providing sound advice throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Williams and Donovan’s, and if you decide to visit make sure you speak to Jo Jones and Dean Neagen 🙂

Just to say a huge thanks to all at Williams & Donovan Benfleet. From my initial enquiry to view our potential new home I must have spoke to the whole office, I was keen to view 😃. Everyone I spoke to was so professional and friendly that I felt at ease when calling in. The whole team was great in our purchase and was able to get any queries answered for me with no concerns. I would recommend anyone wanting an estate agent to use these guys guys as they are outstanding. Such a nice personal touch at completion too when I picked up the keys. Thank you all. We love our new home xPositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Just want to say a special thank you to Williams & Donovan for helping us find our new home! Finally getting to post a review as I really wanted to leave one for the pleasant experience. The process was no hassle at all, we were kept up to date throughout and enjoyed the experience as it went smoothly. This was great as we had other things to get on with so we really did appreciate it. 22 months of endless viewings with many estate agents but we complete with Williams & Donovan and could not be happier. Thank you to the whole team for all your help getting us here! Best of wishes, Mr and Mrs Choudhury.

Well what can I say. Been on a journey with all the guys at W@D. First selling my partners then mine and couldn't fault the service or the staff . Remained in communication throughout always responsive and going the extra mile. Can't single any one out but will do Mark answering the phones, organising the viewings, Darren top photo's and Lynne who helped pull it through when it started to fall apart as 7 in the chain. And helping to sort out the exchange and completion on one day. If only the other estate agents had a Lynne. Thanks guys 😀PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Hi Mike, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for the team at Benfleet. It was definitely a journey selling both your houses, but hopefully that's all in the past and you can settle into your new home together. You're absolutely right too, everybody needs a "Lynn" - we couldn't do without her!

I would like to echo the many other glowing reviews of Williams & Donovan, Benfleet office. I truly cannot praise my overall experience with them any more highly- from the initial phone call to the goodbye card- the service has been highly diligent, caring, professional & transparent. After much research and deliberation, I followed my gut and chose W&D as the estate agents to sell my property. All of my interactions with the friendly staff was positive and courteous. I think I ended up speaking with everyone in the office at some point: all were kind, prompt, well-informed & sincere. As this was my first time selling a property, I am genuinely glad I chose W&D especially as I didn't fully appreciate how stressful it can be and the peace of mind that came with feeling as though I had a great team supporting the whole process- there is so much that can go wrong! I give my full recommendation to Williams & Donovan, and cannot thank the whole team enough for helping to ensure that my sale and purchase were as smooth (& stress-free!) as possible. In addition, the personal touch when I dropped off the keys on moving day and the thank you card after moving in. All greatly appreciated! 💕PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

An excellent service. We found our new home through Williams & Donovan and we asked if everyone could help to complete the purchase as soon as possible. The transaction took only 5 weeks from start to finish. All the team at Williams & Donovan were terrific. Always returned calls & helped move things along all through the transaction. If only all Estate Agents worked hard like these people.
