Balgores South Woodham Ferrers reviews

★★★★★ 5/5

Google

We had a very positive experience with Marie and the team at Balgores throughout our purchase. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were always professional, responsive and proactive in helping to keep the transaction moving despite a number of challenges during the conveyancing process. Since moving into the property we've unfortunately uncovered a number of significant issues with the house itself, but those matters are entirely separate from the service we received from Balgores. Throughout the process, everyone at Balgores was approachable, supportive and genuinely committed to helping us get to completion. We'd have no hesitation in recommending Balgores to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

What a whirlwind! Paul Newell came to see me and after discussions, I put my house on the market with them. Great pictures were taken. Balgores arranged numerous viewings. The house was sold quickly. I bought and everything was signed, sealed and delivered in less than 10 weeks. Balgores were fab. They kept me updated, answered any questions. The whole team were brilliant and made the process easy. Thank you Paul, Marie and the team.

A massive thank you to the Balgores team - South Woodham Ferrers. Especially to Paul and Marie. Totally kept in the loop from start to finish. I had the most amazing legal team also recommended by Balgores. Both are a credit to their profession. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will be using again. First class and stand out from the rest !!!!

I am writing to express our appreciation for the whole Balgores estate agent team in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex . For their fantastic work in marketing and selling our home in super quick time. From the initial visit we felt in the hands of professionals and the ongoing care and attention was amazing . From the beginning Clive Ellingham was so positive and prepared to market our house enthusiastically . Our case was passed to the capable Marie Ball who tirelessly progressed not only our sale but acted for the two buyers in the chain too! We are moving next week to a new build purchase where the sales advisor said Balgores are professional and efficient - they are - well done, especially Marie who is a ⭐️

I can’t thank Paul, Marie and Clare enough for handling the sale of my late father’s property which at times was very fraught through no fault of them or us. They always kept me up to date and always replied to any queries I had promptly which helped to ease the stress big time. I always felt that they had everything covered and the many viewings outside of South Woodham were always carried out efficiently, always notifying me in advance when they would be carried out. I would have no hesitation in recommending Balgores.

We cannot thank Marie, Paul, and Clare enough for their incredible support throughout our selling journey. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, showing potential buyers around our home, saving us the time and stress of arranging viewings ourselves. Their clear and proactive communication meant we were always kept in the loop with regular updates, and any questions or concerns were answered quickly and thoroughly. What really stood out was how seamless they made the entire process. From the first valuation to the final completion, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. They ensured that any potential hurdles were managed efficiently, keeping things moving without unnecessary delays. The whole team’s dedication and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind, and we genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to sell their home.

We couldn't recommend Balgores enough, with a special mention to Paul and Marie. Paul filled us with confidence during our valuation that he wanted to sell our house, and within 5 days we were sold! Marie's communication throughout was excellent, being prompt and helpful. This was our first time selling, and it couldn't have gone better, so thank you!

Clive and the team offered calm, professional and sound advice at all the stages in the sale of my late mother in laws bungalow. Balgores accompanied all viewings on our behalf and always left the property safe and secure.

I viewed a property on line that I liked, enquired at Balgores and got a viewing next day. We spent a good time viewing and wasn’t pressured at all. We discussed on our way home and on arrival , put in an offer, handled by Clive after a short negotiation a price was agreed. Marie took over the handling of the case and with her chasing the Conveyancing activities the process was soon completed. I found Balgores professional, friendly and on the ball and found the whole process relatively stress free

I had just entered the country and was…

I had just entered the country and was looking for a place to move in as quickly as possible. When I contacted balgores to schedule a viewing, the agent Michael was quite rude, judgemental and pompous and told me how he wanted to check first if I might be able to afford the property in the first place prior to scheduling a viewing or it would just be a waste of time for all of us. Once we viewed the flat, Michael told me how he should be able to get me in as quickly as possible. Once I paid the deposit, he called me and told me that the move in date would not be till the end of the week. It seemed convenient how he mentioned it only after I paid the deposit. I was under considerable duress but I tried to adjust anyways and trusted him. He ignored my calls multiple times and the times he picked up he was rude and unpleasant to speak to and hardly listened to what i had to say and also made judgementsand also snapped back at me. At last , 2 weeks later a day prior to the move in date, he called me to let me know that the move in would be further delayed as there was an issue with a safety certificate and he couldn't even commit to a date when the issue would be resolved. Eventually I had to ask for them to return all the money I had paid close to 3800 quids. Although I received my money back, the discomfort and mental hassle I had during the period was devastating to say the least. Extremely unprofessional behaviors.

Balgores should've been my first choice.

I changed to Balgores from another mainstream estate agent who were beyond useless. Chris and his team at Upminster Balgores were wonderful. Great communication, attentive, very friendly and so helpful. Abbie and Neo especially were outstanding. I couldn't have got through the sale of my property, which had its fair share of drama, without them. Chris really did save my sale and I will be forever grateful. Can't recommend them enough. Thank you

Exceptional service from all the team, especially from Chris West

We were looking to sell our house & was told by close family to use Balgores Upminster, as they had recently sold with them, having had Chris West as their agent & had an amazing experience from start to finish. We followed suit & successfully sold our house within 3 weeks of it being listed with Balgores Upminster. We have no doubt this is because of the exceptional service from all the team, but especially from Chris West. Chris is professional, approachable & passionate about what he does. He kept us updated daily as to progress & was always available for catch-ups, even on the weekend. Thank you so much for all your help Chris! You are a star! We love our new house & we would recommend anyone to use Balgores Upminster.
