It has been a pleasure to work with Ben from VC estates. It’s the first time I’ve sold a house which I once called home. Ben was very Confident and Knowledgeable about the marketplace. He reassured me he could sell my property… I like to think people buy from people and Ben is vey much a person you’d be happy to buy from. So I decided he was the person for the job. It toke him 8 days!! I was thinking maybe 2- 3 months. Now to find a somewhere to go. I would happy recommend Ben and VC Estates whether your buying or selling. Great team

David and Alison are a great team. My house had been on the market for seven weeks with another agent with very little activity and not much communication. After switching to VC Estates I soon had three viewings lined up and was delighted to have an offer agreed within a couple of weeks. David has been helpful and supportive throughout and I’ve been so glad to have the benefit of his considerable experience in navigating the world of property sales. (Also, thanks for recommending a good carpet company - practical tips always welcome!)

David and Alison were local to me. Initially met David walking his dog next to mine. Throughout the process they were both very professional and friendly. David dealt with the initial sale and Alison managed the process from start to finish. There are always bumps on the way and me being an exiled Scot I had to grasp the English process which was frustrating at times. Alison worked tirelessly to get us there. I would thoroughly recommend VC Estates to deal with.

Thank you so much for your incredible support and guidance throughout our journey. We honestly felt lost and overwhelmed after coming off the market and had almost given up on selling and finding our dream property. Meeting Claire completely changed everything. From the very beginning, she gave us renewed confidence and reassurance, and her dedication never wavered. Claire supported us every step of the way right through to completion, always keeping us informed and supporting us throughout. We’re so grateful for her professionalism, kindness, and determination. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough!

I was recommended to David and Alison from a family member who had successfully used them before. David was very honest and professional with our marketing discussions and kept me fully update to date with all our viewers and their situations. Once the sale was confirmed Alison was always informative throughout the sale process keeping me updated, chasing our buyers and their legal team when necessary and above all being very reassuring despite several challenges that we faced. We would not hesitate to recommend VC Estates to anyone selling their property. Thank you both very much Dawn and Family

I used VC Estates Bromley. Louis Bremner being the local agent. By far the best estate agent I’ve used in 40 years . Kept up to date regularly . He also chased the purchaser and both sets of solicitors when needed preempting my queries on numerous occasions. He was focused, up to date and knowledgeable. Vastly superior to the other local agents where you are treated as another number by an anonymous local representative who deals with numerous customers . Louis focus was such that we felt we had a genuine and personal service. Highly recommended even if he is not based in your local area as a lot was achieved by means of social media Nigel Parrington

I chose to use David and his team at VC estates after a having been with "another" local estate agent for a few months without a single viewing or any client feedback. Starting with a negative view of the state of the market, David was able to show me quickly what a good agent can do even during tough times. Dealing with him and the VC estates team is a breath of fresh air Whilst he has not sold the house yet, he has got people through the door and each of them a serious prospective buyer. The first of these viewings was even before the property details were typed and approved! David and Alison are a pleasure to deal with and I fully expect he will find that right person and have an offer in place inside the next few weeks with the way in which they are performing. (So no pressure David.) I receive regular update calls from David and he clearly understand the market in these difficult times. I can't recommend them highly enough.

We purchased our first home through Village & Country. David was very thorough and helpful, nothing was too much trouble, he made us feel so at ease. We had some bad luck trying to buy previously but David was sure the bad luck wouldn’t continue for us. The whole buying process was very speedy with the help of the lovely Alison too. We can’t thank you both enough for helping us buy our perfect first home 😊 Will recommend Village & Country to every one, thank you both so much😊

Peter and I met David last year at a house viewing - the very start of our journey to our new home. Altho we decided against that house, we were very impressed with his professional approach plus his rather wonderful sense of humour (a necessary ingredient - as we soon discovered - to survive the many challenges of buying and selling your home) and so, when it came to deciding which agent to use to put our house on the market 'Village and Country' was the obvious choice. Viewings were organised quickly and efficiently and we were very pleased with the level of advice, support and guidance from David and Simon ... especially given that we had lived in the same house for 36 years and so weren't entirely sure what to expect! What we didn't quite appreciate at that point was that, once offers have been made and accepted the work has only just begun and this is where Alison steps into the picture. We were kept fully informed every step of the way and Alison was always available to answer our many questions and remind us what we needed to do to keep things moving. We were involved in quite a long chain which was very stressful at times but the regular contact, reassurance and constant updates from Alison made the process much more bearable than it might otherwise have been. We are now happily settling into our new home and can wholeheartedly recommend David and Alison as the dream team you need when you decide it's time to move. Annie and Peter

I cannot thank David and Alison enough for all their support and help whilst purchasing a home from them. They were always courteous, friendly and went the extra mile to help me in my purchase. I would highly recommend VC estates when purchasing or selling via them. It's great to deal with real people who care and are sincere. Both superstars. A very big thank you from us.

David, Alison and their team were amazing through every part of our house sale, they kept us informed every step of the way as with all house sales or purchases certain issues arise unplanned, Alison and the girls in the office were very approachable to discuss issues and helped to resolve any we had, both myself and my husband would highly recommend Village & Country for anyone thinking of selling or purchasing 100% for knowledge, support, negotiation and professionalism

We sold our property within 2 weeks with VC Estates. We'd had our property for sale for 3mths before and we hadn't really moved forward.

Alison was particularly helpful when I was buying my property from a very difficult older seller. She managed a very stressful situation that occurred in the final few days with integrity and diplomacy. There was none of the usual estate agent style nonsense just solid support and action to deal with the issue. Recommended as a buyer.

David and Alison were very supportive through the buying process. Whilst they represented the vendor with integrity in all our conversations, they also recognised that as a purchaser good communication is essential to deliver a smooth transaction. I would recommend their estate agency services to anyone.
