GoogleNot enough stars on Google. As a tenant you never feel protected or cared for. I have been letting through various agencies and at the end of every tenancy I felt like it's all for the landlord and nothing for the tenants.
Not with Fordyce Furnivall!!! Ever since we started renting through them, until we ended the tenancy, they have been absolutely flawless and if I should ever need an agency again, I will choose them over and over again. Thank you Rita and Nick for doing more than just business and caring for people. I wish you all the best!

GoogleI think I can only describe the Fordyce Furnivall team and customer service as excellent and second to none. I have been renting with them for just over 2 years, feeling very disappointed and sad to leave them. Since 6 years living in Stortford, I never found a letting agency which takes care not only of the property but also their tenants in the way they just do, with simplicity and efficiency . They are absolutely the best : I am used to write down reviews - especially on Google - when my experiences are ok or just good, but these guys should receive an extra star if Google only allows them to.
They will always be my first choice if I do choose to buy or rent another property.
Special mention to Nick and Rita!!!

GoogleThe house we recently purchased in Bishop's Stortford was sold through Fordyce Furnivall. Nick was extremely professional throughout the whole process and was always willing to answer any questions we had or to meet us at the property for another viewing.
It took us a while to find our dream house and during our property search we came into contact with a lot of different estate agents. Fordyce Furnivall were definitely one of the most helpful and professional we came into contact with and should we ever sell our property I wouldn't hesitate to use them.

GoogleInitially we looked at the newer internet based estate agencies with a lower fixed price which seemed tempting but their local experts weren't really local enough (chelmsford) and had no presence in stortford. The pricing structures and contracts from other agents put us off, with percentage based contracts which mean that at the price that houses sell for nowadays it becomes a significant sales expense.
We chose Fordyce Furnivall because they had a simple pricing structure and local knowledge and presence. The bonus was that Nick and the team performed well over and above what we expected when we sold our house. Thanks again Nick, Sam et al.

GoogleMy experience with Nick and his team has been nothing short of exceptional. Why on earth would you use a traditional fee charging Estate Agent at the rates they charge when you can use a modern, well run, unbelievably cost effective local agent that provides exactly the same service at far lower rates? They are professional, polite and punctual. Always answer calls, always deal with any questions quickly and make everything run smoothly. Don't think about it. Use Fordyce Furnivall now.

GoogleThe best estate agent in the business. Nick has been fantastic throughout our first house purchase. He is a true gem! Nick has been supportive, understanding and transparent throughout the process and we really enjoyed working with him. We've had the smoothest experience with Fordyce Furnivall. Thank you to Nick and the rest of the team. Highly recommend!

GoogleReally disappointed with this agent, we requested to view a property with them, they were short and abrupt on the phone, I couldn’t get a workable appointment (which to be fair isn’t their fault) but the chap claimed to call me back, which I never received, and didn’t bother to leave a message either. When I called back the same guy was just rude and couldn’t be bothered to help me, I explained my frustration to which he did apologise for making me feel that way, but all in all a very disappointing first impression.

GoogleWe bought through Fordyce Furnivall and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Nick is open and honest, genuinely likeable and solution focused when we encountered issues. They are a small agency so you get to know the people who answer the phone really well and they are all lovely, professional and helpful.

GoogleRented a property in Bishops Stortford via Fordyce Furnivall for 2 years and would highly recommend - have had numerous bad experiences with previous letting agents.
Rita and the Fordyce Furnivall team were very friendly, professional, honest, communicative and helpful in resolving any problems (not caused by them) in a timely manner.
Thank you Rita, Paula and all for looking after us so well.

GoogleI found Fordyce Furnival very easy to deal with when purchasing my new house.
All of the team are very personable and provided a much more relaxed experience than most estate agents that give off a more corporate vibe.
Special thanks to Stewart for being so patient with me. Dealt very well with everything I asked of him. A very professional young man with rare enthusiasm!
Highly recommended

GoogleJust completed on a purchase through Fordyce Furnivall. From my first viewing to the day I moved in, they were very helpful answering my questions and arranging additional viewings.
Moving is a stressful process but Nick and Paula made the process as pleasant and painless as possible.
I would definitely use Fordyce Furnivall if I have to sell in the future.

GoogleRita really took care of us when we wanting to start renting a property around September last year. Any issues we report them and are met with 5 star service.
Extremely quick to help and get things sorted. We also had an inspection with her partner (I’m sorry but I can’t remember his name) and the inspection didn’t feel like they want to catch you out they genuinely want to find out if there’s anything that bothers you or any niggles you’ve noticed around the house.
Very happy with the service we received and if we consider moving we will definitely be using this estate agent.

GoogleVery helpful and straight forward to deal with, Nick is not like the agents of old, he is honest in his appraisal and negotiations. Costs were very reasonable and he was always available if you need a chat about progress, on the ball with chasing everyone to get their ducks in a row.

GoogleMy partner and I recently had the pleasure of engaging with Fordyce Furnivall for the entirety of our tenancy. From the moment we embarked on our search for a new property, until the day we vacated, they provided exceptional customer service. Rita in particular demonstrated a level of personal care and attention that truly set them apart from other agencies we've been with in the past. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
