These people will drag you along and make you jump through hoops to steal a holding deposit that they do not make you aware has a 15 day expiry period, wherein they will keep your deposit. Even when they have all available information from day one. They are scammers. Do not waste your time using this agency. Find a good agency and go with them.

Excellent team and very pro active

We were purchasers and treated so well. Kirsty was absolutely amazing. We had numerous issues with our sale, so not Fenn Wright’s problem, but she went above and beyond to help get things moving properly. Nothing was too much trouble, and in the end her grasp on the entire transaction was the only thing that kept me sane! Professional, kind and knowledgeable, the whole team at Fenn Wright were lovely. But special mention to Kirsty who literally saved my sanity over the final weeks!

Could not have asked for better!

Getting a viewing, making an offer and getting it accepted were quick and straight-forward. We were delighted, to say the very least! At this point Kirsty, a progressor, took over and what a brilliant job she did in really difficult and frustrating circumstances. There were problems down the chain which were out of her control, but at all times, she went out of her way, to be fully apprised of what was going on, to push for things to happen, and to kept us fully informed too. Nothing was too much trouble for her and we really appreciated her amazing support. We would have no hesitation in recommending Fenn Wright to anyone who is thinking of moving house.

Fantastic Fennwright’s

Fennwright’s have provided a first class service from start to finish and we could not have been happier. Graham’s valuation and negotiating skills got us an excellent offer for our home which was hugely appreciated. Martina’s customer service skills are second to none and she was the calm we needed when our first buyer pulled out. She was always happy to answer any questions and worked so hard to find us our second buyer. And Kirsty was an absolute star as our liaison between buyers, estate agents and solicitors, we would not have proceeded as quickly towards exchange without her. The other agent’s were fantastic too and we’re just so pleased we chose Fennwright’s to help us move, thank you all so much!

Recently sold a property

Recently sold a property, Kelsey was helpful and kept us informed at each stage. Graham Buxton was really helpful with the initial going to market set up. We had previously let the property for a number of years as well. Overall I would definitely use them again, they're friendly, helpful and give honest information with regard to valuations.

Amazing service, cannot thank Laura enough!

We cannot thank Laura enough, the attention to detail and assistance we’ve received throughout the purchase of our home has been amazing. We were able to contact Laura directly for assistance or information when needed and we’re always met with a friendly reception and high level of professionalism. This gave us nothing but faith in Fenn wright, we would also like to thank Kelsey for her assistance with our sale! Highly recommend.

Fantastic service and support for our probate property sale!

The Fenn Wright team have been absolutely outstanding throughout the probate sale of my late father's property. In particular I would like to thank Paul Coward for his sensitivity and professionalism in arranging the sale on our behalf at such a traumatic time and also, Kirsty King who continuously and professionally kept our buyer and ourselves fully informed to completion over a difficult seven month period due to probate delays. Their advice and good humour throughout was invaluable, also letting us know who to contact when they would be away from the office; on getting in touch everyone we spoke with knew exactly what the situation was with the sale - I would like to thank Kris Dickson in this regard who was charming and efficiently handled the bid negotiations for us, again with a lovely sense of humour which helped no end with the stress involved! I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Fenn Wright and would definitely use them again for any future house sale or purchase.

I would like to thank Emily Barrell, Manager of Lettings, who was professional, proactive and knowledgeable throughout the time I let my property.. She was a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend her to anyone who appreciates a top quality service.

Professional and Supportive

Josh at Fenn Wright and his team were professional and attentive throughout the process. Despite the fact that the process was lengthy - the first buyer dropped out - service remained focussed and upbeat.

Great job!

We have just moved into our new house and we have been very pleased with the service from Fenn Wright throughout what was a very long and complex process - through no fault of their own. They were brilliant at keeping in touch and, indeed, really pushed things along when the solicitors stalled. We might not even have got here had they not been so proactive. They were always friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Kirsty and Graham!

The communication was superb

Companies are only as good as their people and Kirsty really stood out, giving us scheduled updates and extra calls if certain events happened. She also gave us advice and suggestions that were really helpful. Our experience showed that all the negative comments heard about estate agents are not always true!

The best ever company to buy or sell your house …

Well what can I say about this company except they are very professional and helpful. We have had 3 homes to sell & 1 to buy and we have had this company to do all. Everything ran smoothly for all of them, I can't fault them at all. Whenever you wanted to ask anything they would help wherever possible. 2 particularly people I think went out of there way to help us which is Charley (Felixstowe) & Kyle (Ipswich) & I can't thank them enough. We are now happy in our new home and hopefully 2025 will be quieter.

From my first interaction when I purchased my property a few years ago to then deciding to use Fenn Wright for the sale I have never been disappointed with the service and professionalism of the entire team. My sale was a tricky one with a long chain, without the experience and will to get the deal across the line the sale would’ve Certainly fallen through. My special thanks to Gemma and Graham for their support, knowledge and constant communication throughout the process.

Thank you

Fenn Wright in Colchester offered me excellent service when recently selling my property. The whole sales team are professional, friendly and always respond to phone calls and emails immediately. Special thanks to Graham Buxton for his advice and support throughout and to Gemma Ealden! Gemma is very thorough, professional, friendly and patient. She made sure any obstacles she will deal with straight on. I never felt pushed by her to make a decision that I did not feel comfortable with. You could see she actually cared about her clients (not just to sign you up as a sale using market data which if you take a closer look it’s actually irrelevant)!I would highly recommend using Fenn Wright, they go beyond expectations and they provide professional service.

I recommend Fenn Wright Felixstowe

Dealing with Charlie Howgego and her colleagues of Fenn Wright Felixstowe has been a delight. They followed through the initial enquiry to the sale, efficiently and courteously throughout. Every call was returned promptly and they were lovely to deal with. I'd do business again with them in a heartbeat and happily recommend them to others.

Excellent Service.

Firstly I would like to mention Alison at Fennwright Colchester who was so informative and helpful with the marketing and sale of my property. Alison is extremely confident and knows her job inside out.Also a big thanks to all the other agents who helped with my viewings, admin etc.I would also like to thank Kirsty King whom has chased everybody and anybody in relation to my sale and purchase and has kept me informed the whole way through this process, which can be a very stressful time. Kirsty is dedicated to her job and is a credit to Fennwright. Thank you to Kelsey for her help in the Newbuild Department for everything, and for initially showing me around and helping me sign up to my new apartment.

Wouldn't go anywhere else

I was with another estate agent originally but changed due to poor service and I'm so pleased I did. All staff I spoke to were excellent and the process was seamless. At one point, the sale was falling through but Laura was able to get it back on track which I'm very grateful for. Thanks to all for their efforts with this - money very well spent.
