Wellington Evans Hitchin reviews

We recently moved and James went above and beyond to ensure our move went as smoothly as possible. My husband and I would highly recommend James and the team, they are more than just an estate agent as they are there, at your side, guiding you at every step of the process. James was knowledgeable and professional but most of all really cared about our experience and ensuring we were kept informed. We have moved 5 times now and we know that moving house is a stressful experience. This is by far the best estate agent we have used, we honestly feel that we would not have achieved buying our dream house without him.. Massive thanks to James and the team.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Nick from Wellington Evans to purchase our first home, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the closing of the deal, Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Their communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and guiding us through each step with clarity and patience. Thanks to Nick and the team at Wellington Evans, we are now the proud owners of our first home. We highly recommend their services to anyone in search of a reliable and dedicated estate agent. Thank you Nick! Lucy and Henry.

James and Nick have changed our faith in estate agents. Having had a previous bad experience with another agent, we decided to list with them in March 2025, well 2 weeks later we had multiple offers and had sold our house. James also helped us negotiate on our forward purchase, which was much appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Wellington Evans to any prospective sellers (or buyers) their approach is friendly and transparent and we’ve had a wonderful experience with them. Thank you James and Nick for going above and beyond, it’s been a pleasure working with you.

I used Wellington Evans to sell a property, they went above and beyond for what was a complicated process at times. We had used a different agency previously, and not had much interest. When WE came in, we made a plan to refresh the property and marketing approach which saw many more viewers and an offer. James was great at helping me figure out the next best move and the advice they gave from start to finish was excellent. Lovely, supportive and involved team, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again myself.

We want to say a huge, huge thank you to Nick for all his hard work, superb guidance and advice and immense kindness during the sale of our property. We still stand amazed at being able to complete within 2 and a half months of putting the property on the market. We couldn't have asked for a more professional and yet totally personal service. Throughout the process, we felt so safe and supported and knew exactly what was happening and what we could expect to happen next. The communication with Nick was superb - his response time was incredibly quick and we always felt he was on hand should we need anything. We have unreservedly recommended Wellington and Evans to all our family and friends. With immense gratitude for making our house sale so incredibly stress-free! Viv and Jen

We have recently bought a house through Wellington Evans and found the whole process easy and stress free. James kept us informed at every stage of the purchase. His excellent communication skills enabled him to liaise with solicitors on our behalf and with our buyers and down through the chain. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently. If we were to now sell our house we would use Wellington Evans and highly recommend them!

Best estate agent we’ve ever had. We went on a bit of a journey with our house and Nick was always positive, pro-active and completely open with us along the way. He and James are vastly experienced but their modern approach sets them apart. You can tell they really care about what they do. It’s not just about selling houses, it’s about helping people move home and doing what’s best for the situation. Nick was full of helpful advice, never sat on the fence and always helped to move things forward right up until the day we completed. If you want an estate agent that’s in your corner, we’d recommend Nick and Wellington Evans in a heartbeat.

My girlfriend and I were first time buyers and Wellington Evans were the estate agents. James was our contact and he couldn’t have been more helpful or patient, which is needed, as buying a house for the first time is very daunting! He made it very clear from the start that we could call or text no matter the hour and this was definitely the case. James made the experience an enjoyable one (which is not what we expected from an estate agent!) There was a bit of a wait from when the offer was accepted as the chain was not complete, and James was always there to answer the phone, keep us in the loop, and keep us positive. James made us feel hopeful but was always honest with time frames and what to expect. Wellington Evans also put us in touch with our solicitor, Elite Conveyancing, who were amazing. We’re very grateful for our lovely home so thank you!

James & Nick were incredibly helpful in our house purchase. We dealt mainly with James who is like no other estate agent. I suggest that you take all of his advice! We went our own way with somethings, in hindsight we should have listened, they have your best interest at heart. Very personable, greatly helpful & you are dealing with people, not numbers & faceless names.A for effort, A for execution. Nick was extremely helpful when called upon, he has a more reserved approach but very knowledgable, professional & approachable. They both have there different ways but I promise you, do business with these gentleman, you will NOT regret it. I wish all businesses put people first, like Wellington Evans.

Wellington Evans are not just estate agents, they are project managers for your house move. I met with James when we had made the decision that we needed to move to a different area of the country and we needed to do it very quickly. This was due to a change in our family circumstances and our house was definitely not “market ready”. Not only that but we were looking for a house that had, or could be converted to have, an annex for Granny as well as 4 bedrooms in the rest of the house. This is not an easy thing to find. James came and met with us, he was clear about how challenging our request was and about what we could realistically expect to get for our house, particularly if we didn’t have time to wait, and the best strategy to achieve the best price (which he then did). We chose to go with Wellington Evans and from that point forward James was our total hero. He told me exactly what to do with our house to make it more marketable (turns out I have too many possessions!). He then managed the marketing, viewings, and offers and guided us through that process. We chose a solicitor and a broker recommended by James who were also brilliant. This meant that he could be in contact with them as well (with our full consent) and things happened much faster than they would have done otherwise and it meant a lot less work for me chasing people. When there were issues with the survey (not so minor ones) he steered us in how to manage that. But not only that, which you might (if you were lucky) get from a traditional estate agent, he also helped us to find our new house. Every house we liked on rightmove we sent to him and he gave his advice. He sat with us one morning for hours going through the options. When we wanted to offer on a house (which for various reasons we ended up doing three times) he would say “What is the most you would pay for that house”, and we would think carefully and give him an answer. He’d then do all the haggling for us and come back and tell us he’d secured the house for far less than we’d said. When we had an offer accepted on the home we now live in, James chased the selling estate agents and fought our corner at all times (this was after we had exchanged on our sale so he had already received his fee). James is now a true friend and I’m sad we live so far from him. His services were worth every penny and we wouldn’t be living where we wanted to live now if he hadn’t looked after us throughout the process. I can’t thank him enough or recommend these guys more highly to anyone who needs to sell their house in the Hitchin area. We know Nick and James work in partnership and all our interactions with Nick were also very helpful. They are clearly a great team. Go with them. I promise you won’t regret it.

I cannot recommend James Evans highly enough. He has worked tirelessly with multiple personnel to sell our parents retirement home - no easy feat! He has not only been highly professional but has supported, guided, listened and offered invaluable advice throughout. Thank you so much James. If you want excellent service from a trustworthy agent give Wellington Evans a call to sell your property.

My partner and I purchased our house through Wellington Evans; the advice and support we received from Nick and the team was invaluable. Even through mortgage struggles due to the property being deemed ‘uninhabitable’, the team was very patient, professional and supportive. This ultimately lead to the successful sale of the property and my partner and I purchasing our first home and fixer upper. Five star review from a purchasers perspective, and after getting to know the team, we’d very much like to use Wellington Evans in the future when we come to re-sell our home.

We decided to use Wellingtonevans estate agents over the other 4 companies we had around they were by far more professional and gave us good advise on the price to set the house at. Which produced multiple viewings. We were then advised to go to sealed bids which James sorted the whole process. We ended up with £60k over asking price which we was of course very pleased with! The whole process from advertising to completion took 5 months. Would definitely use these guys again and would highly recommend.

My wife and I bought a rental property from Wellington Evans after a viewing with Nick Wellington in 2023. We then let the property with Wellington Evans, with this process mostly being handled by James Evans. Both Nick and James are very personable, professional and helpful, and the entire process has been incredibly smooth from purchase to first tenant to second/current tenant. James keeps in regular contact and periodically checks in that everything is still running smoothly. When there have been maintenance issues with the property, James has always got in touch straight away, and has never raised a problem with me without also having at least one (and sometimes more than one) solution to suggest. He has then arranged to have whatever issue it happens to be swiftly remediated, and let me know as soon as it was done. I don't think there has ever been an issue that wasn't sorted following a single phone conversation with James. If I was selling or letting a property anywhere within Wellington Evans' area of operation, I wouldn't consider using any other estate agent.

We had a really good experience working with James. He was friendly, positive and easy to deal with throughout. Communication was clear and he was always available when we needed him through whatsapp or call. When our situation became more complicated, he personally managed things and wasn’t afraid to be firm when required. We appreciated his measured approach and persistence in getting everything over the line. We would absolutely reccomend James & Wellington Evans more widely.

We are so pleased that we appointed Wellington Evans to sell our property after having a bad experience with another agent. Nick was honest and upfront from the beginning, giving us advice and support as needed. We were in constant contact with Nick throughout the process which made it as stress free as it could be selling a property. If you are thinking of moving we would strongly recommend that you speak to Wellington Evans to get a very professional, reliable and honest service. Thank you once again for all your help.

If you are thinking of using another estate agent other than wellington Evans don’t - they are exceptional and the best estate agents in Hitchin !!! We recently sold our house through Wellington Evans and we can honestly say they are head and shoulders above their competitors - many of which we have used in the past and have been unimpressed! It was very evident from our first meeting with Nick that he knew precisely the strategy he needed to adopt to market our property. This strategy was spot on and executed perfectly, leading us to obtain multiple high value offers within days of our open house! Nick fully explained the whole selling process and was very professional in his manner. Following two very successfully open days we received multiple offers. Again Nick guided us through the selection process. After this point James handled the back office stage of making sure both parties were kept updated with the various solicitor requests and processes required to exchange and complete. James like Nick was very experienced and very professional in his approach We were kept in the loop during the whole process and they were always happy to take our calls We cannot rate Wellington Evans highly enough and five star review does not do them justice! Thankyou Sanjay & Anita

A big thank you to the team at Wellington Evans and in particular, James, for his guidance throughout our moving journey. In my naivety as a first time seller, I didn’t realise how crucial the role of the estate agent can prove to be. We all thought we were dealing with a straight forward transaction initially, but challenges and complications arose that none of us could have foreseen. Without James’ expert help in navigating the process, I think a likely outcome for us would have been staying put for a number of years. I cannot emphasise enough the value James and the team have brought to the transaction. They have provided guidance and advice throughout, and are not afraid to have difficult conversations when needed. For anyone contemplating who they should select as their estate agent, I would highly recommend Wellington Evans - you are in expert hands with the team. Should we decide to move again in the future, the first phone call we will be making is to James. James and team - our sincere thanks and gratitude again for all of your help, steer, support and patience.

We have recently bought and sold with Wellington Evans and their service was faultless. James has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area and on our initial meeting spent along time giving us great advice whilst listening to what our specific needs were. James helped us enormously with our pricing strategy when selling and with that great advice enabled us to gain maximum price for our house which enabled us to purchase our current home. Whilst waiting for us to exchange James kept us informed at all times and ensured the process went as smoothly and quickly as possible, chasing up any loose ends. Everyone at Wellington Evans gave a fantastic service, completely professional, knowledgeable and always available to advise. We can t praise James enough and would highly recommend Wellington Evans to anyone looking to buy/sell.

As a first time buyer, I can't thank Nick, James and Helen for their help and support throughout the whole process. I knew that buying a house would be stressful anyway, but their patience, help, and dedication, with no question that arose being an issue, and them calmly taking me through the process from having my offer accepted to the day of completion. Their dedication and commitment to their clients is faultless, even staying in contact beyond the completion of the sale making sure that everything was sorted. Thanks again to you all, and I would definitely recommend Wellington Evans to any buyer or seller in the future.

What an amazing service we have received from the team. James and his team has been very helpful throughout the whole process. This is the first house we purchase and we are glad that we go with Wellington Evans. James are true professional who guided our way to buying our home for the first time. We just moved to the UK and there are some hiccups throughout the process but James and his team are calm and able to provide great support. Upon completion date, James was so nice to show us around the house and point us where those meters are, which helped a lot! We 100 percent recommend this company to anyone who are looking for properties within their radar. Thank you James and team. Wishing you all the best!

Moving home is stressful and I wanted to find an estate agent who would, not only sell my home, but support me through this time. When I first met James one of the first things I remember him saying to me was "to have faith in me to sell your home". I decided to put my faith in James and the team at Wellington Evans and they didn't disappoint. My house quickly sold. James was always very prompt at getting back to me with any queries I had and I was fully supported throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Wellington Evans.

Wellington Evans dealt with the sale of our property and have been fantastic. During all stages of the process from marketing the property through to exchange, they went over and above to ensure everything was running smoothly and that we were kept up to date with how things were progressing. James was extremely helpful throughout and helped keep the sale on track and to schedule. We particularly appreciated their open and honest advice and realistic market appraisal. We encountered some complications and setbacks but were always kept informed and given helpful and strategic solutions. They way in which they overcame obstacles was impressive. We particularly appreciated their transparency, clear communication and honest advice. We were very pleased with the service provided by Wellington Evans and would recommend them to anyone.

Mark and I cannot thank Wellington Evans estate agents enough and felt compelled to write this review. James has been outstanding from the outset, we are the buyers NOT the sellers and had no additional financial gain or extra obligation to assist and help us but he did! From the professionalism and time James has given us, down to the personal touches of accomodating our requests and concerns, it has never been too much trouble. Nick has also made times in his diary to ensure we were happy and satisfied. They both know the area of Herts and Beds inside out and get back to you promptly without chasing and are genuine! The house we was viewing before we made an offer was up with other agents too, however after an initial call to James, I didn’t want to deal with anyone else. Both James and Nick are straightforward, honest ( yes!) and there is no beating around the bush and they manage your expectations and have your best interests always. I cannot recommend Wellington Evans enough, in what is a time of stress uncertainly and adversity - we have been looked after from start to finish and when we move on and sell our property - we will not hesitate in using James and Nick. Thank you so very much, Aimee and Mark
