GoogleUp there with one of the worst experiences I've had with an estate agency. Wouldn't respond in a timely fashion, initially refused to pass our offer onto the vendor. Lied about our offer on a house still being considered to then check Rightmove and find that a sale had been agreed with another buyer. Wouldn't recommend them to anyone especially if you have to deal with Lizzy

Hi George, Thank you for taking the time to speak with us and for sharing your feedback. I’m glad we were able to talk through the situation and provide some clarity. We would never want any client to feel that their offer wasn’t handled correctly or that communication fell short of expectations.
We take your comment seriously and will use them to review how we can improve. I’m sorry we weren’t able to find you a property on this occasion, and I genuinely wish you all the best with your onward purchase.
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleThis is the second time we’ve been involved with Mark Ewin, the first for the purchase of a property and the second for a sale. They are without doubt the most fair, knowledgeable and contactable agent that I’ve ever been involved with. If you want somebody who understands the property market, particularly if you’re selling something a bit different then I highly recommend them. They put the mainstream, hight street agents to shame.

GoogleI have given Ashton Stripp 5 stars and they deserve every one of them. Paul and Bella have been professional and responsive throughout the sale of my mothers house. When I first asked Paul to value the house I was very clear with him that my previous experience of buying and selling houses left me disappointed, distrusting and bewildered in the integrity of estate agents. He asked for an opportunity to prove me wrong and he and Bella absolutely proved me wrong in my assumptions. They have both kept me fully informed of progress, given honest advise when I needed it and have not left me questioning their integrity once throughout the process. Their manner and responsiveness has been top notch and would recommend them without question.

GoogleWell I’ve dealt with a fair few estate agents over the years and have been left disappointed and largely very frustrated. Working with Paul has been the complete opposite experience. Proactive, personable and helpful from the start through to completion. A totally refreshing change and I can’t recommend his services highly enough. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

GoogleMark Ewin estate agents provided an excellent, professional service selling my house. From our initial meeting, valuation, managing viewings, agreeing an offer and through the conveyancing process to completion, it has been seamless and managed by an excellent, proactive team. I have sold/bought properties with many estate agents in Bury St Edmunds and can highly recommend Mark Ewin. Huge thanks!

GoogleWe highly recommend Ashton Stripp. Paul navigated us through a really complex chain. We were so pleased when we finally exchanged as it was looking very unlikely. It wouldn't have happened without his proactive, committed and personable approach. It definitely helped us through a very stressful process. Thanks again Paul and the team.

GoogleUtterly delighted with their service. We dealt with Mark Ewin himself, and he was kind, knowledgeable, realistic, not pushy at all, and just a genuinely nice man. I've worked with a lot of estate agents in a professional capacity working for a law firm, and Mark Ewin is by far and away the best and most professional agent I have ever dealt with. Cannot recommend him highly enough.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleThis house sale was our fourth and Paul is the best estate agent we’ve ever used. His communication was on point and kept us updated throughout the process, even when there wasn’t much to update on, which we found reassuring. Paul’s efficient communication definitely helped the process and kept the solicitors on track. The whole process was fairly stress free for us and with Paul’s guidance we were able to sell our property and complete within 8 weeks.
We highly recommend Paul to anyone wanting to sell or buy property.

GoogleWe can't fault Bella - I didn't think it would be important to have an estate agent that is contactable 24/7 but it was vital towards the end of our house sale process. We switched from another estate agent and noticed an instant difference with Ashton Stripp. They had a real drive to sell our house for us and their communication was brilliant. Thank you!

GoogleWe were fortunate enough to choose Mark Ewin estate agents to sell our house for us because they did such a great professional job for us. However, we were doubly blessed because, coincidentally, we also bought our next house through them and the company could not have looked after us better. Thank you.

GoogleFrom the moment I first spoke to Chloe on the phone I really hoped this would be the estate agents to find us our home.. her professionalism and positive energy made the conversation so natural and left me feeling excited to work with this agency. At our viewings Ollie made it so easy and answered all our questions fully with such honestly which left us feeling very confident with them as a company. We then dealt with Paul who again continued the brilliant service and helped us get the place we wanted. I couldn’t recommend this agency enough, so far we have been more than happy with them and how they have dealt with every step. They are friendly, informative and make it all seem easy. Nothing is ever a problem for them and they go out of there way to help you. They really do seem to be more than just estate agents and I hope to continue working with them over the years to come. Thanks for everything Mackay!!

GoogleI moved into a rented property 2 years ago. The agent who helped me view the property is sadly no longer with mackays but she is now my neighbour, she was amazing. I didn’t think anyone would come close.. We’ve had a few ups and downs but they have generally been brilliant. Rachel is now my main contact and she is very professional, extremely polite and has helped me with a few difficulties we couldn’t have dealt with ourselves. She’s been amazing!
This estate agents and their team - most importantly Rachel - are a true asset to Mackays, I will definitely rent from Mackays again if I was to ever move again . Thank you x

GoogleI purchased my flat through Mackay in 2018 and had a fantastic experience, so when I came to lease it earlier this year it was a no-brainer to go back to them. Rachel was fantastic and helped me through the leasing process which I'd never done before. No question was too stupid and they did everything they could to arrange viewings around my needs. Even now the property is let, they always reply to my emails straight away and are quick to resolve any queries that I have. I simply couldn't recommend them enough.

GoogleWe have been using Mackay to manage our rental property since we purchased it through their office three years ago and have been very happy with the service provided.
The fee we pay is fantastic value for the peace of mind provided by having such a professional team look after our property and tenants. Knowing that the ever-changing rules and regulations are being addressed is very reassuring to me.
Rent is usually paid to our bank account promptly and any issues with the property have been dealt with in a timely manner.
Earlier this year our tenants gave notice, we wanted to use this as an opportunity to carry out some maintenance and update the property. The team at Mackay were so helpful giving advice on what would benefit the property most. They were able to recommend a tradesman and liaised with him to get the work completed whilst finding us new tenants. The property was only vacant for about three weeks as our lovely new tenants moved in as soon as the work was completed.
I would be happy to recommend Mackay to other landlords.
