I have recently completed the sale of my house through Balgores. I did this through Emily and Donna. I give special mention to Donna Hickey. Even though it was delayed by certain hurdles in the chain, Donna was not only professional, but offered moral support and encouragement throughout, she has good sense of humour which made It easier through the wait. Thank Donna and all @ Balgores.

Have built a great relationship with Peter and his team over many years now, and still never fail to be impressed with his honesty, help and guidance - all of which never fail to make what can be a stressful process an enjoyable one.
Top man & top service always.

TrustpilotRude Branch Manager
On of the branch manager's come to our house to value the property and was quite frankly very rude and insulting. No real communication and conversation on reasons why selling etc. It was purely just walk in take measurements and that was it. The whole conversation didn't provide me with any confidence and generally told the manager to get out and don't come back.

TrustpilotChris Wilkinson was fantastic
Chris Wilkinson was fantastic, from each step along the way he was supportive, always clear and made things easy to understand. He was easy to contact with any questions and reassurances and was calm and professional throughout various situations that arose. We would highly reccommend his services and especially for anyone who works for NHS, fire&rescue or other jobs with specific pay structures. Cant reccommend highly enough!

TrustpilotFlawless! 5 Star Service!
Brad and the team provided an impeccable service. Their communication was faultless, keeping us in constant contact throughout and were always on hand when needed. I was particularly impressed with their careful approach during the pandemic and the safety procedures they put in place. They made the whole process seamless taking away any worries or anxieties. I highly recommend you speak to Brad at Balgores should you be looking to sell your property!

TrustpilotGreat service
Great service from Balgores as a whole, especially Peter Walker and Claire Dartnell for their support and advice on our mortgage, and Jess, Chris and Donna in the sales team for their support on our purchase. Very friendly, knowledgeable and accessible if we had queries. It made the process so much smoother than it could have been. Thank you!

TrustpilotFirst time buyers - great experience
Me and my partner are first time buyers and we had a great experience with Balgores mortgage broker Abi and her assistant Mackensie. Abi was very helpful and on hand for any questions we had. She walked us through the process and found us the best rate she could. Would recommend them highly.

TrustpilotFirst Home Purchase
We purchased our first home a few months ago. Balgores were very proactive in helping us finalise everything, even using different branches to help speed up the process. Every person we spoke too was wonderfully helpful. Most importantly for me was that they were kind and genuinely nice people to talk too, I didn't dread picking up the phone!A special shout out to Ricky who first showed us round, flawless throughout the process.

TrustpilotI attempted to buy a property through…
I attempted to buy a property through the Brentwood branch. I have been dealing mostly with the branch manager, who pushed me strongly to use their mortgage broker and their solicitors. First suggested that the property would be only available if I used their mortgage advisor. The advisor was extremely arrogant and tried to scare me into submission. I declined to work with him but still was interested in the property. Arranged my own advisor and property valuation. Turned out that the property would have been very difficult to mortgage and sell in the future putting the whole purchase in question. When I said I needed to consider my options the manager sent me a very snotty email about 'having advised' me on finding other lenders and later, when I called him to tell him what my decision was he told me that I wasted their time. A regretful experience from the beginning. Avoid.

Review of Brad Stanton - ChelmsfordWe bought our new house through Brad at Balgores and found him to be really friendly and helpful. Brad was a key person in helping our sale come around quicker as we could bypass the solicitor and go straight to him to get questions answered. He was always available on text even when he was on annual leave. Thanks for all your help Brad - would definitely recommend.

TrustpilotHorrible service from Upminster branch
Horrible service from Upminster branch, especially from Richard and Such. We put an offer on a Thursday, offer got accepted straight away in writing. To get it off the market they required us to use their solicitors and to book a survey in. We felt pressured so we used their Solictors and paid in advance. Our mortgage application completed and surveyor booked to call them on Monday. Then on Monday, Balgores called us and said they are withdrawing offer and accepted someone else instead.Very dissatisfied and disappointed with Such and Richard. To anyone reading and purchasing via them...I dont recommend going with them - we are now stuck with their solicitors!

Hi Ken,We're sorry to hear that your experience wasn't satisfactory. We understand how frustrating it is when something goes awry when purchasing a home. Unfortunately in this instance tt was the vendors choice to switch to another offer, which we had to put foward.Kind regards,Richard BurnsBranch ManagerBalgores Upminster
