We have had dealings with Palmer and Partners for a long time now and we have found that it has been a very pleasant and successful journey together. They have always been courteous, pleasant, responsive and helpful. All the consultants we have dealt with have had a lot of experience and are very professional particularly John and Rachel whose advice we have always found invaluable. there is no doubt in my mind that we would continue our association with them.

I unexpectedly needed to terminate my tenancy and Palmers were the letting agency. As soon as I telephoned them with my requirements they took total control of the situation with efficiency, compassion and huge amounts of kindness. I am grateful to everyone I dealt with at Palmers, but must mention Rachel, who has gone above and beyond to keep me on track and continually kept me up to date with progress, knowing that I was very anxious. If I ever need to use an estate agent, or letting agent my first and only port of call would be Palmers in Colchester. Thank you all of you involved, from the bottom of my heart.

The sales team were really good at helping me sell a property. They listened and provided advice but were willing to do whatever I was happy with. HOWEVER, Do not ever accept their recommended solicitors/conveyancers. Find your own. They recommended Fisher Jones Greenwood to our buyers and it almost caused the whole chain to collapse. Paul at PP was able to help with pushing the sale through but it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Wasn’t worth the hassle in my opinion. They lost 2 stars for recommending Gayle Fordham at FJG and I hope they prioritise their clients and stop referring people to her based on all her negative trust pilot reviews.

Agent replied · 23 October 2024

Dear Mary. Your star rating does not apply to your experience with Palmer & Partners. We recommend solicitors based on positive past experiences however we cannot be responsible for the relationship that your buyers subsequently had with that solicitor. I am glad that your experience with us was very positive.

I have just had the stressful experience of selling a property for an elderly relative who has gone into a care home. Things were made even more difficult by the fact that I live 300 miles away. But Palmer & Partners couldn't have been more helpful , taking on things like getting local tradesmen to carry out necessary repairs before the sale could be completed, which would have been extremely difficult for me at that distance. All their staff are friendly, accommodating and helpful and I highly recommend them to anyone thinking of selling their property. Their service cannot be bettered.

Having moving in to my rental property 2 weeks ago, I just wanted to say how impressed I've been with the rental team at Palmers Colchester especially Sophie whose friendly and down to earth nature made the experience a pleasant one. After encountering a "difficult" landlord who pulled out of the move 2 days before I was supposed to move in, Sophie and the team made the move still possible by finding me a different property. Thank you for the professionalism and extra work put in to all involved.

Exceptional Property Management Services I have been letting a property via Palmer & Partners for a number of years. My experience with their services has been nothing short of exceptional. This why I have no hesitation in recommending them. 1. Expertise and Knowledge: From my very first contact with P&P it was clear that they have a thorough understanding of the lettings market, legal matters, and tenant relations. I felt confident that my property was in capable hands. 2. Communication and Responsiveness: Good communication is essential when entrusting your property to a management company, and P&P excels at this. They always promptly address any concerns or inquiries I have and providing timely updates and keeping me informed about the status of my property. 3. Maintenance and Repairs: One of the big advantages of working with P&P is their dedication to property maintenance and repairs. They promptly addressed any maintenance issues reported by tenants and will organise professional services when required. This saves me a lot of time and gives me peace of mind. Palmer and Partners is brilliant property management service provider that goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to client satisfaction is second to none. If you are looking to rent out a property, I wholeheartedly recommend Palmer and Partners. They provide reliable and efficient management services and you can trust that your property will be in the hands of experts who deliver outstanding results. A special mention to Rachel who has been an absolute star dealing with some recent matters.

I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Palmer and Partners over the last few months and special thanks to both Alfie Humphrey and Alfie Foster. Their professionalism, knowledge, and support turned a potentially stressful process into an absolute breeze. Alfie Humphrey was our primary point of contact helping us through every step of the process, providing daily updates and always available to answer the mass number of questions we had! Alfie Foster clearly knows the market inside out which put our minds at ease and was just genuinely lovely during the process of valuating our house. From experience, finding a company in this field that treats you with respect and is honest, committed, and willing to go above and beyond is a rarity, but we are so grateful to have experienced all these things with Palmer and Partners, and more. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their house! Thank you all for such a seamless and unforgettable journey we really appreciate it!! Lizzie and Rick

Poppy was truly helpful. On the same day I entered the agency, she already scheduled three viewings for the same week and all on the same day. She responded quickly to all my queries. I truly enjoyed my experience finding a flat at Palmers & partners, thanks to Poppy. I need to also give some praise to Sophie, who is extremely sweet, just as Poppy, and also helped me with all the bureaucracy involved renting a flat. Thank you both!

I've had the pleasure of working with Danielle Mallison, Senior Property Manager for a number of years whilst navigating the exhausting task of being a landlord of a number of properties. Over the years, Danielle, has been supremely helpful, informative and there for me when I needed her guidance (often on a weekly basis). Now that I've hung up my landlord hat, I'm no longer going to have the pleasure of dealing with Danielle. I want to say a huge thank you for all that you did to steer me through. I won't miss the property ladder, but I will miss you.

Hi Paula, We're overwhelmed with gratitude for your heartfelt and sincere review of Danielle Mallison, our Senior Property Manager. It's clear that Danielle made a significant impact on your experience as a landlord, and we're thrilled to hear that she was able to provide you with the guidance and support you needed, even on a weekly basis. We're going to miss working with you too! However, we're grateful for the opportunity to have had Danielle by your side throughout your journey as a landlord. We'll make sure to pass along your kind words and thanks to Danielle, and we're sure she'll be touched by your sentiment. As you "hang up your landlord hat," we wish you all the best in your future endeavours and hope that our paths will cross again. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything in the future.

Jon has always been there offering us excellent advice and we highly recommend Palmer & Partners for both letting and selling properties.

The team at Palmer & Partners have been great from the beginning. Our house was sold within 3 days and they have kept us up to date throughout the process. Hayley's tenacity in getting us to the exchange of contract point is to be applauded. Throughout all the frustration of non communicative Conveyancers, and my queries, Hayley was professional, understanding and helpful and I highly recommend Palmer & Partners.

Palmer and Palmers did a fabulous job with selling a family owned property for us. They gave great market advice and helped us sell the property swiftly after marketing. Hayley was great with keeping us updated on sales progression and liaised well with both ours and our buyers solicitors. Palmer and Partners made what could have been a stressful situation much easier for us.

I can't thank James enough. We had our property on the market with another agency and after 4 months with only 2 viewings we decided to try palmer and partners, so glad we did. The property was sold within 2 months after multiple views. The quality of service was amazing right from the start from photos to the day of exchange. I would 100% recommend palmer and partners and 1000% recommend James

Palmer and Partner (James Burridge) have helped with both our sale and purchase of a new property for my wife and I, and we would recommend. James was always informative and professional and happily answered any question we had along the way. Although moving home is stressful - Palmer and Partners helped simplify the process and smooth the route. Today we exchanged contracts and we are very happy with the service provided.

I have always found using P&P for both my rentals and sales is the best and easiest decision I could make as a landlord. The staff are professional, courteous & always deliver. A special mention to Rachel for conducting the check out process & report. It is genuinely worth the small fee to ensure a professional and evidence based approach to dealing with deposit returns. 5 stars!

From start to finish Sophie made my experience as smooth as it could possibly be.

I put my property on the market last year with Palmers and Partners. There was initial confusion and frustration with the marketing and sales but since James took over my sale, I was very pleased with the service that was provided.

Leanne Withers and Jon Gallop of Palmers have managed my flat for many years. Recently it transpired there was a problem with the electric supply which meant we had to arrange for a new supply. Leanne was incredibly proactive throughout the entire (very complicated and challenging) process and massively assisted in reducing the stress of dealing with it all. Leanne took the lead and was able to ensure that the matter was dealt with as painlessly as possible and with minimum fuss. Sincere thank you to Leanne and Jon and the team at Palmers for this, one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had in my entire professional career! Very well done!!!!!
