All of the sales team at Church and Hawes have been extremely helpful in facilitating the sale of my house. It was sold within a month of being advertised by these guys and they have made every effort to keep the sale process as straightforward and efficient as possible. Particular thanks to Kevin who I worked with for the majority of my sale for always keeping me in the loop and answering my many questions. Would highly recommend these guys if you want a smooth (dare I say pleasant) house selling experience!

Excellent Service

I recently purchased a property and Church & Hawes in Danbury were outstanding from start to finish. Their team was extremely professional, consistently friendly, and they genuinely went the extra mile to keep me updated throughout the process. Rob (Robert Blake) was a great help and a pleasure to deal with

We bought our house through C&H and would want to say a huge thank you to Rob and Kevin for getting a complicated chain completed so we now have a lovely new home. Excellent service with great communication, would definitely recommend.

We we tricked by these estate agents

We we tricked by these estate agents. We turned down a low ball bid from an interested party, partially because it was clear they were in a complex chain. Throughout the engagement we dealt with one estate agent - until one day another one from the same office rang us a few weeks later, explaining the first one was away and he had a great "cash" offer. It was below what we had previously rejected but good enough, so we accepted. We later discovered it was the same bidders! worse - their situation had not changed, its just this estate agent decided that cash meant after they had sold their property!! everyone knows that is rubbish, cash is cash...now! By this time we had as requested taken the house off the market, plus we were closer to when the bidder in theory might actually sell. Of course that did not happen as planned - by this time we were stuck. Eventually we did sell in this short chain, but we lost £18K off the original offer the same bidder made. There is no doubt, this estate agent worked very hard for the buyer, and never stood up for the seller who pays their fees. Just don't trust this estate agent.

Great service

Neil at the Maldon branch was great to work with. A good communicator during a very long drawn out buying process, he kept us informed and oiled the wheels to keep the process moving. Many thanks Neil!

Great service from Rob Wells and the team at C&H. Unlike others he didn’t over value our property and he worked tirelessly towards completion in what was a very long and stressful chain.

Kevin has been very helpful throughout, communicative, coordinating the whole process, not just his sale and in particular addressing any issues early and making it happen. Thank you Kevin

Delighted with the service from Rob at Church & Hawks, He got the property sold within just 3 weeks! Rob was professional, proactive, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. He went above and beyond, chasing both solicitors to keep things moving and ensure a quick completion. Highly recommended for a smooth and efficient sale.

We have just completed on our house sale in Danbury, with the help of Church and Hawes. I have used them for my last 2 moves and wouldn't hesitate using them again in the future. Communication was always good, clear helpful and professional and I have absolutely no complaints! Thank you Kevin!

Having found the property we wanted to buy without having first marketed our own, we were looking for the agent that could make it happen in a fairly slack market. Having first contacted Rob Blake in the May, our property was on the market within a few days and we accepted an offer a few days later. Rob and his team have kept us updated at every step through to exchange less than 5 month later.

I would highly recommend Rob Wells at Church & Hawes. There were 7 couples in our house chain and Rob made sure all buyers, sellers and solicitors were all on the same page. He got things moving, kept everyone in the loop and controlled the communication at every step to get us all exchanged and completed in a timely fashion. Contact Rob for an stress-free house move.

Our journey was a long and challenging one. However, Rob Blake was very professional. He kept us informed at all times throughout the sale of our property. He worked very hard to get the sale completed with many ups and downs along the way. He has helped us with previous sales as well, of which we have always had excellent communication and understanding from him. We definitely would recommend him. Thank you Rob for all your hard work.

Unprofessional…

I had a disappointing experience with Church & Hawes during the sale of my property. I was advised to proceed with a buyer whose funds were dependent on a matrimonial court order, and I was reassured verbally that these funds were secure and that the chain was sound. Unfortunately, the funds did not arrive in time, the chain collapsed, and I ultimately accepted a £15,000 lower sale price and incurred an additional £2,500 in stamp duty as a result.

Rob Blake and the team at Church Hawes have been brilliant throughout the buying process. The communication has been excellent, they always call back quickly if not available and have made this move really easy for me and my wife - would highly recommend

Our experience with Rob Blake was nothing short of outstanding! From the initial stages of listing our property to the successful sale, Rob went above and beyond to ensure a smooth process. Communication is key during such significant transactions, and Rob truly excelled in this aspect. We received multiple phone calls with regular updates, keeping us informed every step of the way. This level of transparency and dedication made us feel valued as clients. Rob impressed us with not only his efficiency but also his down-to-earth and honest approach. Rob took the time to understand our needs and always prioritised actions in our best interest. It's rare to find an estate agent who genuinely cares about their clients and works tirelessly to get things moving. Rob's professionalism and commitment sets him apart in the industry. We appreciate the personalised attention to detail and the strategic decisions made to ensure a successful sale. If you're in search of an estate agent who combines efficiency, honesty, and a client-centric approach, we highly recommend Rob. Thank you, Rob, for making the sale of our house a memorable experience. Your dedication to your clients does not go unnoticed, and we are grateful for your exceptional service!

Excellent and professional service provided by Church & Hawes Estate Agents in Danbury. On visit + valuation Kevin Atterbury (assistant manager) was friendly, very experienced, helpful and explained everything involved in the proposed valuation, marketing and sale of our property. I also spoke to other agents locally, but Kevin was so well prepared and efficient, it was an easy decision who to go with. We must accept it is a very difficult market with soaring mortgage rates and falling prices. Despite this, Kevin and later Rob Blake (manager) continued to market the property and pursue a sale. During the viewing and later sale process, communication was excellent and specialist advice, resulting from decades of experience, provided invaluable insight and help to us. Having now 'exchanged contracts' on the sale, we are very happy with the service we have received over the last several months. I would, without hesitation recommend Rob + Kevin to deal with your house sale. They most definitely earned their commission on the sale. Top Team, many thanks !! Mr James + Mrs Janette BOYD

Having bought through Church & Hawes Danbury and received a great service we went back to them when it was time to sell. They found a buyer pretty quickly and were able to recommend solicitors and removal co (without being pushy!) Really valued their advice on negotiating on our purchase and support in dealing with a complex chain. Thank you Kevin, Rob and Robert!

I'd highly recommend Church & Hawes for their fantastic service. A special thank you to Rob and Kevin who not only made the process smooth, quick and efficient but also phoned just to congratulate my partner and I once everything had completed. That was a lovely touch. From beginning to end of our journey buying our first home I can honestly say I'm so pleased we were able to complete it with this company. Thank you so much for everything.
