I recently had the pleasure of working with William Rose Estate Agents in Woodford Green for both the sale of our property and the purchase of our dream home, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and dedication. Jake and Jay, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was handled smoothly. Their knowledge of the market and commitment to their clients made a significant difference in our experience. Jake was always available to answer our questions, provide updates, and offer invaluable advice. His proactive approach made us feel supported throughout the entire process. Jay, with his keen eye for detail, helped us navigate the complexities of our new home purchase, ensuring we were fully informed at every step. The hard work and effort that the entire William Rose team put into our transactions did not go unnoticed. Their passion for helping clients achieve their property goals truly shines through. If you’re looking for a dedicated and reliable estate agent, look no further than William Rose! Thank you, Jake, Jay, and the rest of the team, for making our dreams a reality! H&S

William Rose was the chosen agent by my late mothers solicitor. Once we were instructed that her property could be put up fir sale, Jake met us at the property to start the ball rolling. He was the nicest kindest guy considering I hadn't long lost my mum. He arranged everything that needed doing before the sale went live and kept me updated with everything step by step. We had so many viewings and eventually a buyer. All was going well until they pulled out on exchange. He was so very sympathetic as it was such a disappointment but by lunchtime on the same day the house was back on the market. Not long after we had multiple offers and Jake did hus homework and advised who would be the best buyer to go for after hus checks were done. I won't say it hasn't been a stressful and emotional ride as it has, but he has been there every step of the way. Reassuring, comforting and always putting me back on a more positive outlook. Today we completed and he was on the phone immediately to inform me before the solicitor. He and William Rose are unlike the other agents I interviewed at the beginning. They are not pushy and in it for self gain as they take a personal and vested interest in you as a person and are sensitive to your requirements. I cannot thank him enough for being my agent on thus journey and I so glad I didn't decide to go with anyone else. They work very hard and get results with a very competitive fee. If your thinking of buying or selling a property then I would 100% recommend William Rose. I'm not sure you will find a better agent. Once again many thanks to Jake and the rest of the team who played any part in the sale.

I wanted to let you know how great Gokhan has been for Willam Rose estate. Gokhan has been super helpful, super friendly, and super proactive in handling all of my requests and questions. I would have driven most people crazy with all of my queries. He reaches out to me directly and keeps me informed on a near real time basis as to the status. Given the time zone differences, it has been very helpful to have such a pro-active person helping me and my family. I just wanted you to know that you have a great employee on your hands William rose.

I can’t recommend Gok Akbas highly enough! He helped me sell my flat, which had a low lease, and I was worried it would be difficult to find a buyer. Gok was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the whole process. He made sure to market the flat effectively, communicated clearly at every stage, and handled negotiations with confidence. His expertise with properties that have lease challenges really stood out. Thanks to his hard work, the flat sold much quicker than I expected. If you’re looking for a dedicated and skilled estate agent, Gok is the one to choose!

His attention to detail and exceptional communication made the experience seamless and stress-free. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and delivers results, Gokhan is the agent to call!

Very pleased with the overall service. A buyer was found within a week and William Rose vetted the buyer and confirmed he had the means. Communicated with me regularly over the solicitor process and informed me immediately if there were any developments. Jay and Jake were excellent so thank you William Rose !

I’ve had such a positive experience with William rose. Dominic has been so, so helpful and friendly throughout the whole process always replying quickly and making everything super easy to deal with.

Really impressed with this estate agency, particularly Gok, who most of my dealing have been with. Estate agents tend to get a bad rap, however I’ve had the opposite experience with Gok, he is transparent, very communicative, very knowledgeable and very responsive. Despite the fact I’m buying a house and selling my flat via another estate agent, Gok has been there to help answer any questions when my estate agent (the one who’s collecting my commission at the end of my sale!) isn’t being responsive or doesn’t understand my question. I’ve only taken advantage of this once, but the fact that he’d made it clear he was happy to help says everything about the culture of this estate agents. If only they were all like this!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Jake was an absolute star to work with from the off. We interviewed a few other local agents, and Jake’s pitch was by far the most thorough and accurate. He really went above and beyond. If you are looking to sell a property within days, not weeks, go with William Rose, as they know how to realistically value a property.

Whirlwind of activity. Jay visited on a Tuesday, photographer came on Thursday, house launched on Friday, viewing on Saturday and sold on Monday. Jay was honest in his valuation and description so that all knew what they were getting. He had a good feel about the prospective buyers and their means. His rapport with our chosen solicitors ensured a smooth, swift sale. We sold for more than expected. Most impressive. My best choice of a service, ever.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

William Rose were the agents for a house in Woodford that later turned out to be our first home. Jay was the representative who we dealt with at the first viewing and all the way through to completion. It was a difficult time due to COVID-19 and lock downs however Jay was extremely professional, responsive and proactive during all stages of the process. The chain was not the easiest with lots of challenges and last minute hurdles being thrown up, all of which Jay managed amazingly and ensured that we were kept in the loop and up to date with all developments along the way. I would have no hesitation in recommending William Rose's services to friends or family or using them to sell our house should we ever decide to move.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Recently went into a tenancy agreement with William Rose, from the start the communication was excellent with our Letting Agent - Gok. He was well informed on the property and professional, and the service from viewing to signing the agreement was smooth, clear and concise. Our property is also managed by William rose and so far they have been responsive and effective in rectifying any issues that have cropped up. I would definitely recommend William Rose to those looking to rent a property.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We have recently sold our flat through William Rose, and found both Adrian and Jay to be very professional and helpful in their approach to selling our flat. We have already recommended them to friends and family, and one of our friends is already using them to sell their house. They have a good knowledge of the local area and have plenty of experience in this line of business. Would highly recommend. Thanks Jay and Adrian.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

My partner & I had a great experience buying our first property with the William Rose team. From the initial viewing, Gok was very friendly and professional. The team were supportive throughout the process - keeping us informed and helping with recommendations. I would use William Rose for future property sales & purchases. Thank you!

Honestly, I am so pleased with the service I have recieved from Jay & Adrian. I used Jay before they opened William Rose and was happy with my prior experince so when it come to moving again, I was glad he was still around. They took time to answer any questions, show me properties that actually matched what I was looking for and helped me get mine sold. Adrian was also on hand also if I needed anything. After having awful experinces elsewhere, cannot thank these guys enough! Worth every penny, will be recommending to anyone looking to move. Thank you again Jay & Adrian

Jay and Adrian at Willam Rose are the most professional, pro-active and helpful agents I have ever dealt with. When looking to rent a flat Jay was very quick to organise a viewing the same day on enquiry, and Adrian always kept me up to date and in the loop. I will be recommending them to anyone i know and will definitlety be using them in the future, their great service seems effortless. Their reviews alone show how consistently strong their good service is and how ward they work. Josh
