GoogleWe bought our house from Gary in 2016 and were delighted with the result back then so of course wanted to work with him again when it came time to move and sell the house. Gary is a master of his craft. He found the best buyers for our home, and was excellent in helping us and working with the various parties to ensure the chain held together and that everyone involved got the outcome that was right for them. Thank you Gary, merry Christmas and all the best for 2026

Thank you Harold for your great review. It is always a real pleasure selling a home for a client who had purchased the property through us previously. Wishing you and the family a happy Christmas and exciting 2026.
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWorking with Gary was very easy. We contacted him as we were thinking about selling our flat and ended up working with him directly about a year later, once we found a house in Whitehall Park. He's very transparent, friendly, and helpful. He knows the neighbourhood deeply and recommends trusted service providers that have been successful in the area. I would highly recommend Whitehalls.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe recently purchased our house through Whitehalls and the service from Gary was genuinely excellent. There were various teething problems through the course of the transaction and without Gary's hard work the deal would not have got done. He is the best estate agent I have encountered and would highly recommend using Whitehalls. Gary has highly detailed local knowledge, is supportive and very easy to work with. Crucially he is always contactable which is a rare characteristic in many estate agents!

Thank you very much Freddie for taking time to write such a wonderful review. Indeed it was a rather fraught on/off/on transaction and an emotional rollercoaster. Delighted it all worked out well in the end and wish you, Georgia and imminent baby all the very best in your home once the builders have moved out!
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleGary is one of the better estate agents I encountered when we were buying our first home. His valuations are reasonable, and he is not unnecessarily aggressive (unlike some high street chains). His local knowledge of Whitehall Park is impeccable. Hands down the agent you want to work with in this area.

Your review is very much appreciated Melanie. It was a pleasure assisting you with your purchase. Hope you are settling into your new home and are enjoying living in this great location.
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleGary is a professional and very experienced estate agent. I was under pressure to find a new home quickly and Gary was incredibly sensitive to this. Additionally, it was an unusual purchase (sealed bid, something I had no experience of) and the whole thing - from first viewing to moving-in day - took exactly three months. I benefited from Gary's calm approach and good humour during such a stressful time, for which I'm grateful. It's a wonderful area, I'm glad I turned down Cressida Road that day and saw Whitehalls' distinctive yellow signage.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI presented Gary at Whitehalls with a considerable challenge last October. I asked him to manage the sale of my house in Whitehall Park to a very tight timetable, achieve the asking price, and manage a situation where I had paying guests in the house who were booked to stay until just before Christmas. I'm pleased to say that Gary overcame all aspects of the challenge with consummate skill and diplomacy. There were many ups and downs over the two months, necessitating Gary's intervention and sensitivity, but he was calm and resolute throughout and allowed me to retain my equilibrium. Overall a very satisfactory experience, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Gary to any prospective seller of a Whitehall Park property. His unique depth of experience in the area allows his judgement to be second to none on pricing, and his character and integrity give both buyer and seller confidence at a very high level throughout what can be a fraught process. Without doubt, a five star verdict!

GoogleMy partner and I had a fantastic experience with Whitehalls estate agency. From the very beginning, Gary has offered really tailored and honest advice - with a pragmatic resolve to get the process going as effectively and smoothly as possible for both the seller and the buyer! After many months of painful flat hunting and big agencies playing us around, we couldn't be happier with the services provided by Whitehalls!

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI have known Gary and Whitehalls for some 14 years. I have had many meeting with hm over the years and I found him to be someone I could trust. Very direct and straight answers to straight questions. Has incredible knowledge of this local area and an encyclopaedic memory. When it came time to sell up got sound advice what I wanted and he kept in touch at all times. Everyone in the neighbourhood speaks highly of him and his firm. Unusual in 2022 but true. This is 1,000% and honest and true review. Go and have a chat if you think he can help. Makes decent coffee too.
