TrustpilotBalgores Upminister & Donna - Superstars!!!
Buying a property is one of the most stressful things in life and having Balgores Upminister and in particular Donna in our corner working through the various challenges has made the experience great. I was kept up to date through the whole process and can't wait to enjoy the purchase. Thank you very much!

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

GoogleIan and team were very helpful throughout the process from the initial property evaluation all the way through until completion. Ian clearly knows the local market and was quick to understand the property. He gave the most thorough and reasoned valuation that we received. The team communicated well and contributed to a very speedy transaction during a busy time in the market. Highly recommended.

TrustpilotVery proactive, accessible and amenable team
I had a positive experience with Balgores Property. My first experience was with Peter Walker and his understanding of the property market and mortgages in particular swayed me to pay a premium for his service even though I previously had two other cheaper/free advisors lined up.
He was very accessible and responsive and his overall demeanor was assuring. He was also very available throughout the process to respond to our numerous questions anytime.
Most importantly, he helped us negotiate a further 3.5% reduction in the property value after the bank's survey.
Also, the team assisted us with the insurance covers and we're guided with respect to all our available options which helped us make informed decisions.
I know I'm a very difficult person to please but this team went over and beyond to provide good and exceptional service to us during our property purchase process.
I would recommend them any day as they were a big part of us not experiencing any frustrations during our house purchase journey.

This is from a perspective of someone who worked at Balgores and saw how clients and buyers were treated as as staff.i left Balgores this month due to being sworn at a lot in the office as well as shouted at I was spoken to in a certain way and I had enough of this
I noticed that the men in the office wouldn’t help the lady vendors or buyers as much and did they didn’t get mortgage/ solicitors out of them then they wouldn’t get the property!
Unfortunately this is just how it is I handed my resignation in and moved company’s they said not to work my notice period as I’m a “competitor” now with the new company and said I would be paid the same as they have already threatened me with no pay for a week even though I did work that last week.
It’s a awful company over all such a shame as Essex office is lovely Gravesend however not so much
