GoogleI have been with Graham's company home sales and Lettings for approximately 10 years now and have been very impressed by the service.
Graham and his team are very fair to tenants and owners in my opinion, which I agree with completely when Graham contacts me because there's a problem I know it's a genuine problem and usually give the go-ahead to get things sorted by return and I have never been let down.
I would personally recommend Graham as an agent and I speak as someone who has had considerable problems with a different agent in the past.

GoogleGraham has managed my properties since 2014, in that time he has never found me a bad tenant and has sold three properties for me successfully and without trouble. One being my own residence which was a seven figure transaction the other two rentals one just very recently in a difficult market. His service and attention is of the highest level which is why I have had no defaults or failures to sell. His fee is also very competitive. I can recommend him over many full time selling agents.

GoogleThroughout the 4 years we lived in our flat, we had a great tenant/ agent(s) relationship with Graham, Emily and their colleagues. If we ever had an issue or emergency, prompt and professional assistance was received within 24 hours, providing us with great service but also instilling confidence in Home Sales & Lettings as our agents. I would not hesitate to recommend them, as our experience was excellent. Thank you Graham and Emily for all you did for us - Abigail & Stephen.

GoogleAnyone who has ever rented a property will understand that it can never be easy. It can be very daunting moving and finding yourself a new property you can officially call your home. I was actively searching for a property in Colchester and moving from London made it tough for viewings. I spent approximately around two months trying to find myself a place to rent and found it to be incredibly challenging. Nearly giving up I stumbled upon a property advertised with ‘Home Sales & Lettings’ and was able to quickly schedule a viewing with Graham. After viewing the property I was satisfied enough and more than happy to rent the property which was ideally located and more importantly knowing that I was renting with a lettings company who had my best interest. Upon viewing the property it was clear it needed a few minor changes with the bathroom however, Graham assured me it would be taken care of with new equipment being installed prior to the arranged move in date. Graham has been very helpful to assist with my every needs and was really easy to work with. It has been a really tough year due to the Covid-19 pandemic but I can’t thank him enough for his efforts of helping me to find a property I can officially call home. Without a doubt I would use this lettings company again and I would recommend to anyone. 5 stars is not enough. Brilliant work, keep it up.

GoogleHome to Rent has managed my property in Colchester for approximately 10 years. During that time they have managed the tenants and processed their payments, organised necessary repairs and dealt with extraneous events.
I am inherently lazy and forgetful so it is therefore doubly important to me that my property is in the safe hands of someone who is industrious and organised.
Home to rent keep me abreast of things that are going on and, in truth, I rarely think about the property because I don't need to.
I willingly recommend Graham and the team at Home to Rent and look forward to their care over the next ten years.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleHome Lettings have been fantastic from the start, Josh was already waiting outside for me when I arrived for the viewing, he was friendly and professional.
I have found that the team have been reliable , when I notified josh about a repair that needed fixing, he instantly got back to me and arranged for it to be done as soon as possible.
They have been very helpful and communication has always been prompt.
I highly recommended home Lettings and I would definitely use them again in the future.

It was great knowing we had Graham's team who could liaise with the landlord for us, it gave us peace of mind knowing we could trust their expertise in all areas including deposits, repairs, contracts and anything else we needed. We couldn't recommend more highly.
