GoogleWe used Ross Nicholas and Company to sell my late father's house. We were very pleased with the service. Ross Croucher visited the property in April 2022 to give the market appraisal. We were impressed by his enthusiasm and professionalism. His valuation of the property was spot on. The marketing was excellent with a professional photographer used including for aerial drone views and a matterport scan to allow 3D viewing inside the property. This was important as it was a high value property and needed to be shown to it's best advantage. The marketing and viewing period was very quick with a number of viewings secured and an offer accepted at the asking price from a cash buyer. The sale was completed incredibly quickly by mid July. Ross monitored progress and kept us informed. Everything went extremely smoothly from start to finish.

GoogleI recently bought a brand new property via this friendly, family run company. Unfortunately my own sale through another agent locally became rather challenging and delayed, but Ross Croucher really did go the extra mile for me, assuring the seller at every stage and keeping all parties well informed. I found the service to be very professional and experienced whilst remaining personable. I have no hesitation in recommending this agent, and consider myself fortunate indeed. Iβm now living in a beautiful property which has been genuinely life changing for me. Thankyou Ross.

GoogleThe whole team at Ross Nicholas were cheerful, efficient and helpful. I was a buyer for a property in Highcliffe and, although not technically their client, every assistance was given to me to get this very difficult chain through to purchase. Ross Croucher in particular liaised with my agent and solicitors beyond the call of duty with his inside knowledge and experience to keep everyone in tandem which resulted in hugely reduced stress levels. The sale would not have happened without his dedication and quiet tenacity, remaining polite to everyone. Thank you Ross Nicholas. I would highly recommended this company.

GoogleWe (Whoobid) work alongside Ross Nicholas to offer online auctions to the local area. We have recently ran our first auction alongside them and had an incredibly successful result for our mutual client, achieving an instant exchange at a strong price for the vendor.
George and his team worked tirelessly to market the property and ultimately built sufficient interest for a fantastic result prior to auction. Having worked together on a professional side I cannot recommend George and his team at Ross Nicholas enough. We certainly look forward to many more successes in the near future!

GoogleDreadful Commercial Department. Firstly, as most estate agents, almost impossible to get through. No problem.. But then they keep properties that are under offer or gone on Rightmove, so you end up wasting time researching an area and looking at floor plans of a place that isn't even available. "Oh it's just gone under offer"... Right.. Like "Oh, your taxi is JUST on it's way".... In my opinion they leave properties like this on the market so that a) you call in and they can take your details and b) for a bit of "brand presence". Dreadful. We wont use them again and we have 31 properties and are looking all the time.
EDIT IN RETURN TO RESPONSE
Sincere thanks. You may indeed feel it unfair in my saying it was hard to get hold of you, especially when you are armed with your knowledge that I got through on the first attempt. Sadly your knowledge is completely incorrect, I had called on Monday and on Tuesday I had called again and been put through to a different branch (I assume, the lady said everyone was on the phone or out, ask her). It's a little ridiculous you feel I would write "hard to get hold of" after speaking with you on the first try. Further, whilst it may be your "best practice" not to take properties off of right move until KYC's are complete (though there is nothing in legislation that mandates this), most agents (especially the good ones) at the very least mark the property as "Under Offer". This saves us, your potential customers looking for a place that ISNT under offer, wasting a tremendous amount of time, and leaving you with the people who are happy or have the time to chase properties that ARE under offer calling in to you.

Good morning Mr Zuccari, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and I apologise that on this occasion we did not meet your expectations. However, we feel it is slightly unfair in your saying that we are hard to get hold of, we believe we spoke with you yesterday on your first attempt to contact us. To clarify the other point in your review, we have to leave the properties on the market until such time we receive satisfactory references or a lease is agreed for Commercial properties, which is the case in this instance, but we always offer to take names and numbers in case the applicant does not pass the referencing checks or changes their mind, which can happen. Once again, I am sorry that on this occasion we did not meet your expectations but if you wish to contact us again, we would be happy to try and assist in the future.

GoogleIf you are unsure as to who to sell your property through then do not hesitate with this Agency.
Their customer care is second to none, the details they prepare of your dwelling are extremely good and the staff do their utmost in being able to get you the buyer via the various channels available to them.I would recommend getting Ross Nicholas to at least give you a quote before deciding who to sell your property through.

Dear Mr Pidduck, I'm sorry that on this occasion we did not meet your expectations, however as you know the sale was in hand for a very long time to you without any real progress. Unfortunately without funding in place, a sale cannot proceed, therefore the decision was then made, by the owner and his family, to remarket the property and we subsequently found another purchaser. At no time were we underhand or instigated a situation to "gazump" you as you have put it. All decisions were made by the owner of the property and his family, and we merely followed our clients instructions. I hope that you have settled into the area now and wish you the best for the future. George
