GoogleI am so pleased I chose Whittakers to sell my late mum's house and couldn't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish Ken, Ric, Gabe, Gilly and all the team have been professional, determined, patient and got the job done despite some hiccups towards the end. Thank you!
Thank you, Sarah - it was an absolute pleasure to work with you and we are hugely grateful for your review.
5/5
GoogleDespite house being on the market for just over a year and a buyer who’d dropped out during sale the whole process was always clearly communicated. Laura could not have been more helpful when sold the property, ensuring that was kept up to date at each step. Would highly recommend.
Thank you, Tracey. There was a collective cheer in the office, when we took the call to say exchange had taken place!

Ken's knowledge and experience of the local property market is excellent and Ric's management of the chain was superb. Thank you all, so much!

GoogleWe bought through Whittaker & Co recently and up to the move they were brilliant - diligently updating us on the chain and the whereabouts of others. Our move day was less than ideal (not their fault) but Ric stayed in touch and resolved all matters outstanding - beyond the call of duty in our view. Thank you.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality
Thank you, Harriet. We were so pleased to help you finally find the right home!

GoogleWe originally marketed our property with another agent with no success. We switched to Mark Lumley after numerous verbal recommendations and we were not disappointed. Not only did Mark sell our property, but we also bought our new home through him too. Nothing was ever a problem for Mark, he made a stressful time (moving house) a lot easier. Thank you, would definitely recommendPositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
Hi Jon. Thank you very much for this - great to hear you had such a positive experience!

GoogleLaura did a fantastic job in both selling our property and managing the purchase of the one we were buying. It was certainly not a straightforward transaction, but Laura did so well to keep it moving and to overcome all of the obstacles. Would heartily recommend.
Thank you so much for this review, Nick. We are all looking forward to seeing how you transform the house!

GoogleWe found Ric Merlo to be a reliable, cool headed, pro-active and responsive throughout. He did everything possible to get to get the sale through to completion. So we would use Whitaker and co if we were to sell!
Thank you, Jonathan - we are delighted that it all came together, in the end!

GoogleWhittaker and Co What an outfit! - professional, pleasant, responsive. They know what they are doing for sure. proper agents that have a modern approach to marketing. They have kissed goodbye to the estate agents window and they don`t need one as their marketing is second to none. Ken, Ric, Gabe and Gilly are all great to deal with.
Thank you, Bob - much appreciated. Always great working with you.
5/5
GoogleWhittakers know Harpenden and the surrounds better than anyone else operating in the area. They work smart and hard to maximise the sale potential and value. Presentation and communication is of the highest order. They recently sold another of our developments in central Harpenden and their advice and service was excellent.
Thank you, Rob. We look forward to working with you again in the future.

GoogleFantastic 5* service from Gabe at Whittaker I'd hugely recommend using Whittaker and ask to speak with Gabe. He was extremely professional and took a huge amount of time and effort with everything. It felt far more attentive compared to normal estate agents - Highly recommended
Thank you very much, Toby. Gabe is an invaluable member of our team!
5/5
GoogleMany thanks to everyone who helped us through a very lengthy process to no fault of yourselves. Gabe, Evie and Laura all kept us informed and met us on site when we requested. Small local companies seem to give that slightly better service. Long may it continue. Good luck.
Thank you very much, Christopher. Enjoy your new home!

GoogleKen and Gilly are a great team: highly professional and totally reliable.

GoogleAbsolutely delighted by the service provided by Ken and Mark and their team. My house sale completed at asking price within approx 6 weeks of going on the market.

5/5
GoogleI've been privileged to know Ken and Ric for a couple of decades. It's a given that they do a great job of supporting people through the challenging process of selling and buying a home -- there wouldn't be so many W boards around town if they didn't. I think they offer something extra as well... a genuine love for Harpenden and the villages, and solid track record of investing in the local community. A business to cherish.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
