If you are looking for a new home then, Michelle and the team at Zest are my 100% recommendation! From enquiry to move in was under a month, we needed things dealt with quickly and efficiently and that’s exactly what the team done. We had a viewing on a Sunday at short notice which is just unheard of and the house was cleaned top to bottom before we moved in. I honestly couldn’t ask for more. As a tenant these guys were faultless, as a future landlord, I am already convinced that Zest Homes will be the guys I trust with my home! Thank you guys, much appreciated. Rich & Stevie.

Vero Group have recently been carrying out electrical works on several of Zest Homes' rental properties, and the experience has been excellent. Communication has been smooth, access has been well organised, and everything has run efficiently. A special mention to Sophie, who has been brilliant throughout. She's been professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful in coordinating works and keeping everything on track.

I cannot recommend zest enough we have recently rented a property from them and Michelle is the best estate agent I have ever dealt with. She was kind and helpful all the way through. All my overthinking and silly questions wasn't a problem for her. She made me feel at ease from the first time I spoke to her. I would like to thankyou so much for making our move as easy as possible. Hollie xx

We completed on our home back in March and couldn’t be happier. What an emotional roller coaster that was as first time buyers! Chris and Michelle were amazing and helped us through this complicated process. I remember there was one point when the sale almost fell through after being mis-advised by our initial mortgage broker. I called Chris at the brink of tears and she literally said ‘leave it with the me darling, we’ll see what we can do’. The most comforting and reassuring words that I didn’t know I needed to hear at the time. She referred us to Jade who is literally mortgage broker extraordinaire. The process was by no means straightforward but Zest homes and Jade were there every step of the way and always answered our never ending questions. If you’re thinking about getting your home through Zest, do it! Thank you ladies:)

Always a fantastic property sales and rental service provided by Michelle and the team. Cannot fault anything whatsoever. Zest manage my rentals and I buy and sell property through their office often. I highly recommend you to check Zest out and choose them to help you achieve your sale, buy your property or rent out if you’re a landlord or rent your home if you’re a tenant. Top team where nothing is too much trouble ! 😊

Zest homes were personable from the get go! I purchased a house that I really wanted, as everyone knows buying a new home is one of the most stressful experiences one can go through, zest homes were amazing and ensured that through out the purchase they informed me of the progress every step of the way! Michelle and her team kept were amazing I’ve brought many properties before and have never encountered such a truly caring and loving team! Their professionalism and human nature exceeds them from the cooperate type other estate agents! You don’t feel just like a number but actually cared for! I personally can’t thank zest homes enough for all their hard work, and the amount of evening phones calls updating me throughout my purchase Thank you zest homes words cannot express my gratitude Samantha De Bliek

Your words made Michelle and the team well up. You purchase was definitely one emotional roller-coaster that's for sure. The teams knowledge of process and the business helped keep this together aswell as more patience than they knew was possible. The team are hoping you settle quickly. Michelle advised looking forward to seeing on the beach in the summer with you.

After having a poor service from another estate agency. Michelle and her team worked tirelessly to ensure my house sale progressed. They were always on hand to support me and went that extra mile to help which really made the difference. I would thoroughly recommend Zest as an estate agency that gets the job done, with a personal touch of actually caring about you as an individual. I cant thank them enough.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Although we did not make a purchase via Zest Homes, we felt compelled to write a short review for Michelle and her team as they have been super professional and helpful whilst searching for a property. Michelle, what a refreshingly warm, kind, honest and helpful service you and your team provide, thank you, and we sincerely hope to be able to use your services in the near future.

I cannot thank Michelle and her team enough! Myself and my younger brother were about to face being homeless and from the moment Zest found out they have done everything they can to help us! They found us a home, and throughout the process constantly checked on us and our well-being too. This is my first time renting my own flat and they have made the process so much easier in such a difficult time. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you Zest, you really saved us x

After shopping around and contacting several local lettings agencies, Michelle at Zest Homes was by far the best person for the job. Michelle was friendly, intelligent and always put my needs first; the other agencies had none of these qualities. Within 1 week she had arranged 6 viewings and closed the deal for new tenants to move into my property, dealing with all the paperwork. As with any new let, there are teething problems. Michelle dealt with these immediately and kept me informed at all times. I can't recommend Zest Homes enough. The process has been simple with competitive pricing and top notch service - a great customer experience!

Michelle and her team have been fantastic in supporting us through the recent sale of our house. Always there when we needed advice and support, providing regular updates on how things were progressing. Nothing seemed too much trouble. A very professional and attractive profile created on our house in order to attract a buyer. A very friendly and approachable team who, made what could have been a very stressful experience, less so. Would definitely recommend anyone to use Zest Homes if either selling or buying. Thank you Michelle and Team.

Michelle was extremely professional and efficient. She found us the ideal tenants within 4 days of us registering with Zest. Michelle, Sophie and the rest of the team were very thorough in both their advertising our property and finding tenants. We have the greatest confidence in the expertise of this company, and we have no hestation in recommending Zest to any landlords and prospective tenants.

Right from my initial conversation with Michelle I was impressed. It was not the easiest road for the purchase of the house but Michelle and her team kept us informed and up to date with each step of the purchase. If you want a family company that has a great attitude, excellent customer service and goes above and beyond then Zest is the company for you I would happily recommend if I could give you 10 stars I would

After dealing with Christine on somewhat convoluted purchase and my experience with previous estate agents,I cannot speak highly enough of the determination that Christine provided to get our purchase done on time , totally changed my perspective on estate agents, cannot thank her enough,went over and above on our purchase,if there is somebody you would want dealing with your sale or purchase Christine is the the person you need, usually I don't make recommendations at all ,but feel I needed to on this occasion. Thank you Christine

Michelle, from Zest, gave an estimate on my mother’s property for probate purposes. She was extremely professional, very aware of our emotions in a cheerful sensitive way. She was very helpful & gave us valuable information regarding probate. I would never hesitate in asking Zest to handle the sale of the property when the time comes Thank you Michelle & team.

Zest homes…always assisting in the best ways they possibly can. We’ve had many previous commercial properties and by far this company is the most attentive agency we’ve ever worked with.

Made our flat move as easy as possible! We are first-time renters and Sophie was a fantastic help in guiding us through the whole process, from first viewing through to moving into the property (and also sorting out little niggles and helping with the finer details). We would definitely recommend Zest to anyone looking to move in the area!

After my property being with another agency for 18 months, Zest sold it within a month! I was really impressed with how Michelle and Jess worked and got things done. Communication was amazing and I spoke to Michelle most days with updates about what was happening. Sometimes I messaged late evening and got a reply that night! You wouldn't get that with anyone else! Michelle and Jess are very down to earth and easy to talk to and even helped with all the paperwork I didnt understand. 100% reccomend and I will be using Zest again in the future! Thankyou Zest! 😊PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
