GoogleA big thank you to Jack, Faye and Lois from Chalk street in Romford.
Throughout our home selling process, they were incredibly communicative. They promptly answered calls and emails, keeping us informed about every development. I was always able to get someone on the phone immediately and they always called on time. I liked the fact that on viewing days there was someone who was available to speak to and they were super fast in getting feedback.
Their efficiency was remarkable. They expedited everything and coordinated viewings effectively, leading to a quick sale. Their proactive approach was evident when they organized an open house that attracted multiple offers and we went with the best offer with most chance of completion.
This was one of the best experience Ive had and will consider buying and selling in future exclusively with Chalk Street.
Sincerest thanks to Faye,Jack and Lois.
Best Regards Mohammed Hasan

GoogleMandy, Lois and the whole Chalk Street Team have been incredible helping us with the sale of the property. They went above and beyond throughout the whole process. Our specific sale had a lot of unusual hurdles but they were always available to help despite a lot of it being completely out of their control and not their job. Amazing people to work with and I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much!

I am almost at the end of the sale of my house through Chalk Street and I have to say they have gone above and beyond my expectations as an agent. You hear all sorts of stories but I can honestly say I could buy everyone of them a present . Particularly Faye and Mandy , the girls have been fantastic, so supportive and friendly and prompt with everything. I cannot recommend Chalk Street enough, given my difficult situation at home they have been absolutely fantastic. Thank you Mandy you’ve kept me sane at a very stressful time. Being at the end of the phone whenever I need you has been a huge support to me

GoogleI cannot recommend Chalk Street enough.
From first contact the team (& in particular Ben) were extremely helpful, professional & efficient. So much so, that our house was sold just 2 weeks after I first contacted them.
Then we were passed to Mandy, Chalk St’s sales progresser. Mandy has been unbelievably patient and helpful, especially in some frustrating circumstances! Mandy is super responsive and always in touch with updates. Thanks to her hard work, we were able to exchange just 7 weeks after finding our onward property.
In addition to the great service we received, Chalk St’s fixed fee provided good value for money for us - it’s difficult to see how other agents charge more money for less service!
Thanks again to Mandy, Ben & the team.

We cannot praise Chalk Street more highly.Having had previous very satisfactory dealings with them in assisting our son on his purchase we were more than confident in appointing them for our purchase. Ben in explaining all options clearly re fixed fees, plus Fay and the team always prompt in progressing and responding to us.A special thanks also to Sales Progressor Mandy as when our purchase became delayed and complicated she took ownership and pursued other dilatory parties to get us to exchange of contracts. Mandy harried solicitors and other Estate Agents to close the deal and save the day. First class Company.

Excellent service from Chalk Street Estates from start to finish. The team were professional, responsive, and kept me updated throughout the whole process. They marketed the property well, generated strong interest, and secured a great result.
What really stood out was how smooth and stress-free they made everything, nothing was too much trouble. I’d highly recommend Chalk Street Estates to anyone looking to sell their property.

TrustpilotA wolf in sheeps clothing.
We hired CSE with high hopes due to their attention to detail and very swanky branding and although they eventually sold our house we felt that the overall experience was poor. Listing the house (plucked from the air valuation) and photos were done quick which were abided to covid rules. We listed the house and specifically said that we wanted the sell quickly and to a minimum chain. For the first couple of weeks we were doing tours of our house to people who hadn't sold their house, couldn't afford it or had people who were in a lengthy chain. We had so many unfit viewings it reached the high 20s! There was one viewing in particular (who I won't disclose) was sent round but after the viewing I found out some criminal background history which left us feeling vulnerable. After this incident I spoke to the manager and again told him our who we needed to sell to, what price we felt was right to sell for and how quickly we needed to sell. There was a sense of arrogance about him and his attitude towards prospective buyers of our house was low. There was a comment saying that our house wasn't as nice or as efficient as others out there on the market. There was also a negative comment about "some" buyers in particular because of their current location - I don't think this was professional at all. After this conversation we received less viewers but the right people and we eventually sold to first time buyers. I have to praise Jessica & Dan Smith on their elevated efforts. Chalk Street do offer "recommended" mortgage brokers and solicitors - we didn't take them up on this because we already had a trusted MB & Solicitor. By feedback from other CSE clients, it seems we dodged a bullet because the recommendations were not very good and more so that CSE can get a commission. There was a lack of evidences of a connected working relationship for a streamlined service. In our experience, use your own recommended services. The sales progression took longer than anticipated, Mandy was ok - I mean she had done her job but we felt she wasn't really aware of the current status. In all the experience should've been smooth but we ended up feeling more stressed out by trying to sell a steak to a vegetarian. Once we complained and told them exactly who we should be targeting and only accepting the right people financially to buy our house, we found the right buyers - if only they listened to us at the start rather than almost a month later. We paid £2600 for their services. There optional were addon fees to have someone conduct the viewings, have a more focused branding advert etc. Chalk Street sell themselves really well, but it felt like a glorified and expensive version of purple bricks... A wolf in sheep's clothing.----------------------------------"Reply to CSE comments"With regards to the valuation, you valued our 3 bed mid terrace house against a 3 bed semi detached house. With your "extensive experience" I would think that there were be some significant difference with regards to valuation. I.e side access, bigger garden, wear & tear, potential to extend. You valued both properties the same price meaning ours was overvalued in comparison thus detoring away prospective buyers. We did not reject any offer for our house other than the £325k offer which was 75k lower than what we asked for. This same person was the only known complaint of myself only because I researched their name (a name you gave me upon the viewing) to find multiple news stories and mugshots of the person with a 2 year criminal conviction for financal fraud. Anyone else I spoke too we have mutual friends on Facebook and again you gave me their full names. We had an offer of £410k from a viewer but they were not in a position to proceed for us to accept as they were in a long chain and had not sold their house - this which included two people selling their properties to purchase (jointly) the house of our potential buyer. We cannot accept an offer where the chain is open - as per your advice.We specifically requested an 8 week turnaround due to us buying a new build which was a 4 week turnaround once reservation was met. You were a month over the deadline. We understand that some people either liked our house or didn't, that is fine. But to clarify our floor plans and photos were visible on all third party websites and specifically yours. The people booked and then passed up comments saying they didn't like the layout... a layout which they must've spoken to you about? No? 96% recommendation rate is good and congratulations on that. We're one of the 4% where we didn't receive the same service we expected. Regardless of the level of your fee, we were paying you as a professional to sell our house for us and we shouldn't of had to have as much input in the process as we did.

Adam, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. However given some of your comments it’s only right that we respond. Firstly, you state that the house valuation was “plucked from the air”. We value on evidence and our knowledge of the area and have sold numerous houses in the immediate vicinity (including two others in your road in the last six months) therefore our valuation was based on our extensive experience. With regard to your “minimum chain” comment, we specifically provided potential buyers with minimal or no chain whatsoever, as instructed by you. Subsequently following your revised instructions we changed this to viewers with no chain. We are aware of one potential buyer’s sale falling through between the time the appointment was made and the viewing, however we were not advised of this. We were however advised by some potential buyers that you had looked them up via their personal social media accounts and sent messages, so naturally we were not surprised to receive complaints from these viewers over your actions and privacy concerns. Looking at the timeline of your sale, you received a strong offer just 5 days after your house went on the market (which you rejected despite us stating that the buyer was in a good position). The following month after failing to receive a higher bid, you accepted another offer and a sale was agreed.During the six weeks that it took to sell your home, 23 potential buyers viewed your property. 14 of these were first time buyers, 4 had SSTC, 2 were non dependant and 2 were on the market but had not sold. It took 12 weeks from agreeing the sale to exchanging contracts. In the current climate this is much quicker than the UK average. The price you paid to sell was around half the figure you would have paid, had you used a traditional estate agent. As for mortgage brokers and solicitors, we are unsure which “other CSE clients” you refer to ‘finding’ and indeed how you found these (given we do not disclose client information due to Data Protection laws). However we have never received negative feedback on any of the firms we select to recommend to our clients.At Chalk Street we are proud of our high standards in everything we do, and this has been recognised in the awards and accreditations we have received, not to mention 96% of our feedback receiving a 5-star rating. We’re sorry that we did not seem to meet your expectations on this occasion.

GoogleHaving originally bought a property through Chalk Street in 2021, we were impressed with the way they kept us updated on the progress of the purchase which was great being a first time buyer. Mandy always made sure we knew what was going on.
Our good experience made us want to use Chalk Street to sell, and we were seen by Jack who talked us through all our questions and gave reassurances where necessary. Mandy again has made sure we are up to date with any developments with our buyer and has also been keeping our buyer in the loop while we found our next property while not applying any pressure which we have very much appreciated. This is one of the reasons that we decided to go with Chalk Street as they seem to be more friendly and less pushy than other estate agents we have come across in the area.
The property that we are now in the process of buying is also through Chalk Street. Everyone we have dealt with has been very transparent, honest and friendly throughout. Lois has always been happy to help with any queries and booking viewing appointments, and Faye was great when it came to making an offer on a property and guiding us where we needed it.
All in all it has been a welcome experience of what can be the most stressful period of people’s lives, so we appreciate all they’ve done.

Very impressed with Chalk street, they acted for me with the sale of my property and were superb from start to finish. Valuation and sales advice from Ben was spot on, great knowledge of local area and everything he said materialised. Lois & Faye were always contactable, polite and always provided good advice and had me relaxed. Then Mandy! The tough job of sales progression, she was excellent, and I’m pretty sure held it all together to exchange with a difficult party up the chain. Made a stressful time manageable and didn’t let me down from start to finish, highly recommend for anyone in their catchment area.

I liked the fixed fee to sell the house, and from the outset it has been a pleasure dealing with everyone, but a special mention to Ben who started the ball rolling to Mandy who made a concerted effort to move things along for us keeping the pressure on the solicitors and brokers to close the sale. Great people to work with, and good value too.
