It has been some time now, but Avard were brilliant when both buying our property in 2001 and selling in 2018. I found them helpful and honest (two words usually not associated with estate agents). Ok, other agents thought they could sell for 50k more, but doubt it would have happened. We had a problem when the sale fell through last minute. Gary and the team pulled out all the stops and got a buyer with z better offer in no time.

I recently used Avards to sell my flat and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Gary and Jack were both highly professional and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. From our very first conversation, I felt completely at ease speaking to them. They were not only knowledgeable and efficient but also incredibly understanding and empathetic. They genuinely listened to my concerns and guided me every step of the way. What stood out even more was their great sense of humour, which made what could have been a stressful time actually enjoyable. I highly recommend Avards and their team!

Thank you Gary and the team for a smooth and successful process, from start to finish. My experience with Avard has been that they operate in a supportive and trustworthy way, which goes a long way during what can be quite a stressful experience for some.

I can't speak highly enough of Gary at Avard who helped our family with our recent house purchase. Gary was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process and swiftly responded to any questions or concerns I had. His expertise and dedication made our house purchase proceed quickly and smoothly. I would definitely recommend Gary and the team at Avard to anyone in need of an estate agent.

What can I say? Just an amazing service from Gary at Avards. Can't recommend him highly enough, professional throughout, but also so supportive to me personally during a long process due to issues with my late brother's estate. Gary is exceptional, excellent communication throughout and nothing was too much trouble for him. I really wouldn't have coped without his help and support. Highly recommend, thank you

Terrible service. I’ve contacted them twice to view a particular property even had a WhatsApp conversation and have failed to get back to me. I would Not consider using these people to sell my property

Hello raj, I am very sorry to hear this was your experience with us, this is very irregular for our normal service and I will look into this. Please call me direct, my name is Gary Colbert and I manage the office and I will deal with any enquiries personally. Many thanks Gary

I can’t recommend Avards highly enough. They managed the recent purchase of our new home and went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Their aftercare service has also been exemplary, by far and away the best estate agents I have ever worked with (and I’ve worked with quite a few!). They are such a friendly group as well, 5 full stars well earned.

Excellent service from Gary & Phoenix. Despite many set-backs and inactivity from the buyer’s solicitor, Avards kept the process on track. I’m happy to recommend.

We used Avard to purchase a property in Kemptown. From start to finish Gary and the team were efficient, pleasant and quick to respond. What has been an incredibly challenging sale with our own buyers, they couldn't have been more understanding and helpful! We only wish we had the other estate agent in London, solicitors and buyers have the same approach! It's a wonderful property and we are so pleased we got here eventually!! Thanks to everyone at Avard.

Fantastic service from Avard. Gary and Gavin both provided excellent communication and knowledge. As a first time buyer, the whole process was daunting and they both made me and my partner feel much calmer and more excited about the process. Would 100% recommend these agents !!!

Great company to deal with. We recently sold our property with Avard's and from day one they provided great service. We met Gary who was brilliant, for a valuation on the property and dealt with him all the way through the process. The communication we had with him was excellent, he called with regular updates and was so helpful with guiding us through the whole process and giving advice that made the whole thing really easy. They showed great knowledge of the area and market in general and we would highly recommend Avard's to anyone looking to sell their property. Thank you to Gary and everyone at Avard's!

I have had a great service as a seller with Gary and the team at Avard's, also including Jack. They have been professional, helpful and friendly from the outset. Gary knows the business well and I continued to benefit from his ability to steer us through the process to a successful conclusion. He was responsive and patient with any queries or requests. I would recommend Gary and Avard's unreservedly.

I recommend Gary and the team at Avards unreservedly. From the first contact, valuation, marketing and viewings through to exchange/ completion Gary worked tirelessly. He communicated at every step of the way and advised me wisely through various offers and options. I felt confident leaving Gary in charge of negotiating the sale and trusted his experience and expert knowledge of the market and area. Gary was positive and confident which made me feel reassured - this reduced the inevitable stress that is experienced when buying and selling property. Gavin and Jack were professional and kept me fully updated if Gary was out of the office. Gary and the team went above and beyond to facilitate this sale. Thank you!PositiveProfessionalism

Appreciated the advice and support Gary offered through our purchase. He was fair-minded and seemed to strike a good balance between representing the seller's interests and helping us navigate the process as first-time buyers in a crazy market. A couple of times he went above and beyond in resolving issues that came up, and he was generally accessible, efficient and friendly throughout. Thanks Gary and team!

I used Avard on a recommendation and the service was second to none, Gary answered all my questions and queries efficiently and nothing was ever too much to ask going above and beyond to achieve a sale above desired price. Gavin was very supportive on my first experience and put me at ease, taking all the stress out of the sale from start to finish. Will definitely use again, and highly recommend.

Gary and Gavin were nothing but wonderful throughout the entirety of the house buying process. Unlike most estate agents I worked with prior to this, Avard seem to prioritise both the buyer's and seller's needs so that everyone felt happy with all outcomes. They also went the extra mile at every turn, including every time I asked for access to the flat prior to completion (for measuring spaces etc.) and for helping me organise quotes for repairs. They are incredibly responsive, personable and respectful, and they made the whole experience feel so much less stressful than it could have been. I couldn't be happier - thank you!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

I have been extremely impressed with my recent dealings with these guys. They have helped me through, what turned out to be, a rather complicated flat sale with honesty, knowledge, support and excellent communication. Genuinely going above and beyond in all aspects from photos, viewings, negotiations, chasing the chain and seeing the sale through to the bitter end! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone. Thank you Gary and Gavin.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
