The team especially Denise has been so helpful over months of my father in law buying a property! It’s not been an easy ride but the help has been amazing! Thank you again fir your hard work

We are so glad we chose Williams and Donovan for our sale. They have the in-depth local knowledge to know where the potential customers are, and found us a buyer within a few days of going on the market. We particularly appreciated Denise's supportiveness and assertiveness when the chain was struggling to make progress. Recommended for sure.

Despite challenges with Lockdown, COVID and our purchase going into probate through all of it, the team at W&D kept us informed, and worked very hard to get all parties in the chain aligned and working towards the same goal - completion. Super impressed with their service and dedication, would absolutely recommend them again.

Williams and Donovan helped us find our perfect family home after our previous purchase had fallen through. They answered all our questions and helped us complete within 6 weeks! Thanks all!

What an amazing team!! They have supported me though every step of the process. Not only completing viewings, but phone calls of encouragement and support when things weren't going to plan. Leasing with solicitors and buyer to ensure everything when as smooth as possible. I'm going to miss you guys xx

We are so impressed with the professional and personal service that Denise has given us. What is possibly the most stressful time in moving home, Denise has gone over and above in her management of our house purchase by constantly keeping us informed every step of the way to completion. Her regular updates and calming manner has kept us both sane and calm, which makes all the difference. Having a true professional on board at times like this is invaluable. We believe that Williams and Donovan, AKA Denise Gibb are the guys to undertake your house move. Great job guys! Keith and Janice Harvey.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

We used W&D to sell our house and they were also the agent for the property that we bought. From start to finish we found W&D offered an excellent service. Tom valued our house and offered some great advice and insight which we followed and it really paid off. Denise in the sale progression team was exceptional. She kept us updated every step of the way and even phoned us to tell us when there was no news. Honestly we felt like Denise really had our back throughout the process which meant that we wouldn't hestiate to use use her and W&D again in the future. I would highly recommend W&D Hockley to everyone thinking of selling their home. They offer a second to none faultless professional service. Good work team!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

My partner and I bought our first house recently through Williams & Donovan. We were so pleased with their brilliant service, always replying to emails / phone calls and chasing solicitors for us. Also, always kept in contact and kept us updated with our purchase through the coronavirus pandemic. Would highly recommend !!

Highly recommended - the way estate agents should be! I have recently bought a house through Williams & Donovan in Hockley. The experience was a pleasure from start to finish. James Williams is an excellent agent - friendly, personable and knowledgeable. He took the time to find out what we really wanted from our new property and was always at the end of the phone with any questions that we had. Over and above other estate agents in the area, the team at Williams & Donovan give the personal, bespoke touch, a rare find. We never felt like ‘just another buyer’, they really do care about your move.

I have recently sold my house through Williams and can not recommend their service enough - using a local agent puts you in touch with buyers much sooner, and with the right people in comparison to the internet company's - my house sold with a week of going on the market! First Class team!

Jo · 18 August 2018

Hi Jo, thank you very much for your kind recommendation and your astute assessment of our competitors! I know it was a bit more protracted than originally intended through no fault of your or our own, but hopefully you'll be looking forward to being in your new home very soon!

Superb experience buying our new home through Williams & Donovan, from the moment we first viewed the house right through to completion the guidance and advice given made the whole process as stress free as possible. They went above and beyond for us on many occasion and we will be eternally grateful.

Hugely capable & competent. Very reassuring from start to finish. Having bought and sold a few times through the Hockley branch. All the team there are so friendly, helpful, down to earth and approachable, to the point where I'm actually going to miss speaking to them. They always return calls and reply when they say they're going to, via phone and email, but most importantly they all work as a team. These guys really do know their field and therefore come very highly recommended. Nobody else comes close. Thank you W&D.
