GoogleI was a tenant of a property managed by Petty Son for 4 years and have zero complaints about how they manage tenancies. They are supportive, communicative, and have great digital tools in place to report any issues or repairs needed. Felt they always presented the landlords perspective with understanding of ours, and helped resolve any issues quickly and effectively. Particular thanks to Zoe for all her help. Would recommend renting a Petty Son managed property to anyone.

GoogleThanks to the amazing staff at Pettys, our house sale was problem free. Catherine Bransgrove is a lovely person, very professional and straightforward, with realistic expectations of how much our house might go for, and she set the tone for the excellent service we received from all the staff. The people who showed our property to prospective purchasers were reassuring and prompt. Once we found a buyer, even though we were in a huge chain, the completions team were tenacious and reliable, working well with our solicitor. All we had to do was be patient and everything was taken care of. If you want proper, old-fashioned, dependable and honest service from professionals who know the local area, you can do no better than Pettys.

GoogleThis was my first experience of offering a property for sale. The team at PettySon&Prestwich were friendly, helpful, thoroughly professional and above all effective. The head of sales’ assessment of the property value held to the end as the purchase price. My need for privacy was respected throughout and any hiccups were handled very well by the team.
I am very glad I chose this firm and its team to handle the sale of my property.

GoogleThe most professional and respectful agent one could find in the area!
My entire experience dealing with Petty Son has been a true pleasure, from discussing the property marketing to agreeing the sale of my property. Both Cathrine and Greg from the Sales team have been extremely professional and helpful, that we had no doubt that we could place our trust in them.
During the inactive market times, the waiting time to agree to a sale can be daunting, but the timely communication from Petty Son really ensured that everything is under control and was being progressed to our expectation. I am extremely pleased that Petty Son found me the perfect buyer and have done a great job to follow through as the sales progress.
If you are looking for a professional estate agent in this area, I have no hesitation to recommend Catherine and Greg as well as the Petty Son team!

GooglePetty’s are undoubtedly the best estate agents we have ever used. This is our fifth move over the last 25 years and their service is unparalleled. From our first meeting with Catherine where she outlined the process, valuation and likely price we would achieve right the way through to exchange, the team (Catherine, Kinga, Elaine and Janine) have been fantastic offering a seamless high quality service.
Big thanks to Janine in particular who guided us through the deal closing process.

We are super proud of this review and such kind words - thank you Philip! We do try very hard to ensure every property sale and purchase is made as smooth as possible as we trade solely on reputation (and we hope to be part of the local area for many years to come).
★★★★★ 5/5
GooglePetty were responsive and efficient throughout the (somewhat lengthy) sale of our property. Greg valued our property and found him to be enthusiastic with a wealth of knowledge. Janine and Elaine were excellent, professional and helped to move the transaction along. I would highly recommend working with the team at Petty to anyone buying or selling a property.

GoogleWARNING!!!: FOR ALL HOME OWNERS!!! If you are looking for agency to sell your home then would strongly recommend to continue your search instead of choosing Petty Sons. I am not quite sure how they have so many good reviews. Maybe fake?
Regardless, as per our own personal experience they are one of the worst estate agents we have ever dealt with for over 15 years of living in London. We bought our home through them but that's only because we loved the area and the house we wanted to buy. I would particularly call out Elaine for being someone who is extremely patronising, pressuring and almost bullying in the whole process. As perspective buyers we were given threats of the owner wishing to pull out from the process but when we started communicating directly to the owners we found them the nicest individuals who understood our situation. My girlfriend received several upsetting phone calls when she was at work. If we didn't like the property so much then we would have pulled out to avoid dealing with such agency.
Wanstead is a great location so most of the properties will sell themselves as long as the price is right. You would be better off selling it yourself online instead of relying on Petty Sons.

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are extremely sorry to hear that you felt your experience with us could have been better.
In this instance, as a company, we followed the vendor’s instructions to the letter at all times. Elaine has the most difficult job at times as she is the person at the sharp end that has to pass on instructions from our clients that may not be what buyers(in this case) want to hear. Elaine has the unenviable task of making the calls no one would voluntarily want to make. She is the very best in the business and held in extremely high esteem within the company and her incredibly hard work is rewarded by her being continually mentioned in the many genuine positive reviews we regularly receive.
We hope you are extremely happy in your beautiful new home and wish you all the very best of luck for the future.

They made the experience hassle free and straight forward. The warm friendly team went the extra mile to make us feel valued.
They were fantastic at prompt replys and call backs and kept us totally up to date with everything. Everything was laid out in the beginning with no hidden extras and the feeling that they had the clients best interests at heart really came through.
Overall we had a great experience with their no nonsense approach!

They’re standards are set above and beyond, the team is absolutely wonderful to work with, there’s so much paper work and phone calls. John the director is a fantastic man who listen and provide everything he can to fulfill your need as a client. I’ve used them twice and both times blown away by their professionalism. I highly recommend them to everyone! If you are considering an agent look no further.

GoogleOur parents had passed on, and we needed to sell the family home. A difficult and emotional task. We choose Petty because of Catherine. She was in tune with the family dynamics, knew Wanstead real estate, and became a true trusted partner throughout the process. Petty work as a team, we touched with Francesca, Elaine, Jenny and Fay, it was smooth and seamless. Great communication.
These guys know Wanstead! They are local experts on the appeal of one street vs another. They know the value of location, they know how to market and how to create “buzz” a round a sale. 100% satisfied!

GoogleThere is a good reason why you see so many blue PS&P For Sale signs in the Wanstead/Aldersbrook (and beyond) area! We were purchasing a house last year in Aldersbrook and PS&P were the selling agent. Every time we spoke to them they were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. If we ever decide to sell our house, I am sure PS&P will be the first agents we call.
