Purchase completed in under 6 weeks!
Purchase completed in under 6 weeks! James was brilliant in handling the initial viewing and negotiations to help us secure the property the same evening! Donna was superb in talking to both sides and chasing docs to avoid any delays. The office are always on the ball with calls & emails, I couldn't ask for more from an estate agent!

Extremely unprofessional
Extremely unprofessional, like others have similarly experienced, they do not respond to email enquiries nor telephone calls. Rather u helpful and abrupt when you contact on their social media and only reply on there as it’s a public platform. I will never recommend this business and I will make sure others know how they act towards potential tenants, maybe they discriminate against a certain group, who knows. But sadly, a very negative experience and for that I will never recommend this company. They also then remove any comments with negative experiences shared on their social media.

Balgores were speedy and efficient, they listened to my specific requests and found me the right tenants for my property. Jody was especially helpful and kept me well informed during the whole process ... Thank you to Mark, Jody and the team at Balgores.

Great Agency
Great Agency, amazing staff. They have made our buying experience so easy, as we were first time buyers we had no idea what needs to be done. They explained the whole process, recommended Morgage advisor, who later on recommended solicitors. We managed to move in to our new home in 3 months. Thank you all!

Worst experience we’ve ever had
Worst experience we’ve ever had. We moved in despite them after securing a key ourselves. Rang 9pm night before telling us we couldn’t move in because a new boiler was being fitted!! No thought to where we might live , no common sense, just ‘computer says no ‘ attitude. No idea who gas was with or electric or WiFi basically getting paid 12% management fee to do nothing. Would never ren or buy a house that had Balgores as agentsAs is typical of Balgores I contacted as requested, told me he was on holiday and would follow up on his return, can only guess he’s on a very long holiday as no contact to date, don’t use them
Hi Dave,We're sorry to hear that your experience wasn't satisfactory. We pride ourselves on our fantastic customer service and a matter like this is unnacceptable. We've launched a full scale investigation internally to work out what went wrong here to ensure it doesn't happen again, and as a Director I will personally ensure due diligence is conducted. We would like to invite you to have a chat with us directly so we can find out how we can improve our service moving forwards. Please feel free to contact me via daniel@balgoreslettings.com and we can organise a chat.Kinds regards,Daniel Hanks, Lettings Director

Got better eventually
After my initial confidence with selecting Balgores, I have to say that for a considerable amount of time I was somewhat disappointed with the service received against what had been promised. Although they were efficient at arranging viewings and marketing the property, the lack of contact did frustrate me. I lost count of the number I times I had to contact them to find out what was happening! To be fair, this was resolved after the member of staff I had been dealing with left the company. Also some small niggles about the front door not being locked properly and lights left on when they showed prospective buyers round.That being said, after the change of staff, things progressed quite quickly and a sale was achieved.
Hi Diane,We're sorry to hear that the initial proceedings didn't quite reach our usual standards - we pride ourselves on providing a fantastic service throughout the sales process. We are however pleased to hear that once a new member of staff took over that the process was more positive from there on.If you have any further questions or queries please do not hesitate to get in touch with us again!Kind regards,Brad Stanton, Branch Manager of Balgores Chelmsford

One again the team at Balgores…
One again the team at Balgores Hornchurch lead by Billy Gill, provided a seamless and stress free sale of property having used Balgore’s previously this time was exceptional. Balgore’s don’t offer a service where you’re a name, house, number on their books to sell and meet target’s they listen to are both parties needs and in this instance it proved a huge success for both matching seller and buyer without even the need to go to the street marketing and ensured the sale was expedited within 6 weeks. Faultless, making it stress free for all.
Hi Lucy,Thank you for leaving a positive review for us! I'm glad to hear your experience with us was fantastic. Please do not hesitate to contact us in the future if you're looking to buy or sell again or if you have any further enquiries. All the best, Bradley
