GoogleWe bought a property a few months back with Andrew leading the sale. It was a very straight forward, no-chain transaction which completed promptly within 6-8 weeks. There were no hiccups along the way and Andrew made us feel very comfortable as buyers and that nothing was too much to ask! Would thoroughly recommend!!

TrustpilotBalgores in Romford Glenn Hardie mortgage advisor
Balgores in Romford dealing with Glenn Hardie and Claire Dartnell is amazing. I could not thank Glenn and Claire enough for their professional and calm approach towards the mortgage from start to Finish. The fact find to mortgage offer. When I couldn’t get the documents in a timely manner for one provider Glenn was very helpful by applying with another lender. It turned out to change my fortunes as i was given an offer by them within a week and am now in a strong position to complete on a house which I must complete on by 22nd March 2024 due to auction deadline.

Michelle from Balgores Upminster was great. Conducted the viewing, and regularly kept us up to date on the purchase of house. Was able to contact her easily when we had queries or issue with the purchase. She was able to advise on other services such as surveyors without being really pushy.

TrustpilotPete and Claire- what a team
We are immensely grateful to Pete and Claire for all of their wonderful support of us as we navigated buying our property.
Getting our mortgage sorted was an enjoyable experience and no hassle to us at all as Pete and Claire were able to get us better and better rates and chased everything up for us.
Thank you so much to you both.

TrustpilotAvoid
Rubbish, didn’t have a clue what was going on during the whole process, even though they controlled the whole chain! Said they would call back with more information and an update, but never did, I had to chase them again and again! Never done any due diligence on potential buyers, so they haven’t checked to see if they had mortgage offers etc. Very frustrating, I would avoid if possible. Also more expensive than others! Only went with them as they had control of the complete chain, but that didn’t help!

TrustpilotVery thankful to the whole Balgores Team
Being the FTB, we were not clear with the home buying process, mortgage, home insurance but had preconceived notions. And then we met Balgores property team- Chris & Chloe and mortgage team Pete, Donna and Claire. As soon as we said yes to the house, they arranged everything for us and the whole process was closed in 2 months time; extremely efficient team. We asked for it and they arranged it for us like a genie.
A special word of appreciation should definitely go to Pete; our mortgage advisor who answered our million queries and propositions and paid attention to even silliest ones. Highly proactive to reply emails and phone calls. Thank you so much Pete for your perseverance and the support extended.
I wish all the good luck to the whole team for the future. Thank you!

GoogleWe are delighted we chose the team at Stonegates to sell our parents' home and recommend them highly. From the first meeting, it was evident that James not only had extensive knowledge of the Hitchin property market, but that he understood the individual needs of his clients.
Anne led on the viewings to the property and she understood that we were selling more than bricks and mortar. She met us to understand the history of our parents' home and its unique features. She brought a positive energy, and wish to share the story of the house and locality, to each viewing.
James, Anne and Keith communicated with us throughout the process and we appreciated the regular feedback after viewings. When needed their advice was clear, helpful and always right, and nothing felt like too much trouble.
The team provided a professional and knowledgeable service, with a warmth and understanding, that helped us enormously.

TrustpilotGreat Service and assistance from Claire and Peter
Claire has been excellent at keeping us informed throughout the process of acquiring a new mortgage. We couldn't have been happier to have her work with us to ensure all documentation was submitted in good time and all checks where correctly undertaken so there would be no delays to the process. Both Claire and Peter have been fantastic at ensuring this process was straightforward and stressful. We will happily be contacting them in the future to undertake our next Mortgage. 5 stars professional service.

TrustpilotPete and Claire are the best!!
Pete Walker and Claire Dartnell are invaluable to anyone looking for a mortgage and the level of personalised expert service they have provided us has been by far the best experience we’ve ever had with a mortgage broker. Pete was highly recommended as a mortgage broker by a friend and it was the best decision we made. Pete and Claire were both fantastic and went above and beyond for us on so many occasions. Pete has an huge amount of experience which was priceless to us as we had a complex leasehold sale as well as the onwards purchase. Nothing was too much trouble and he even sought advice about our sale from his trusted contacts (solicitors and other brokers) to help us with our sale. He made the mortgage application completely stress free and was incredibly knowledgable and realistic about it and we couldn’t be more grateful. Claire has been amazing and was constantly in contact with our solicitors to get updates on both our sale and purchase which was amazing. Thank you both so much!!
