GoogleI had a fantastic experience working with Benjamin at Gilbert and Rose! From our very first encounter, he was incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, making the entire process of renting my property so much smoother. His expertise and friendly demeanor put me at ease, and I felt confident in his guidance. I highly recommend Benjamin if you're looking to rent your property, he truly goes above and beyond!

GoogleWe bought our second property using Gilbert&Rose, from the offset - G&R were professional, informative and generally down to earth!
Megan showed us round the property, which we instantly fell in love with and immediately putting our first offer in!
All the way to the final day, Leanne was keeping us up to date with the progression (even though our solicitors made this a challenging task!).
We would highly recommend! Ronnie & Dan

GoogleWe recently found out we were being evicted from our flat of 17 years as the landlord was selling so we needed to find somewhere quick!!
We spoke to Ruby Hughes, she was always quick to respond to our emails and she couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful, we had seen other properties with other letting agents but they didn’t compare to Rubys professionalism and kindness.

GoogleWe would recommend G&R to anyone wanting to sell their property, and we purchased our new home with them too, which made the process even easier!
A special thank you to Karen Summers for working so hard to help us during this process and for chasing solicitors, keeping an eye on our chain and informing us of every development. It really made what would usually be such a stressful event such a relaxing experience.

GoogleWe recently sold with Gilbert and Rose. Brennan and Charlene were fantastic throughout the entire process, we couldn’t be happier. If you are thinking of selling a property and Gilbert and Rose serves your area we would highly recommend them.

GooglePerry, Spencer and the team worked around the clock during the sale of our flat, from the initial listing until we completed sale. They were professional throughout and provided flexible viewing times, which other local estate agents don’t provide. We would not be able to sell our flat and buy our next home without their dedication and hard work throughout the whole process. Would recommend Gilbert and Rose to anyone who is looking to sell their home.

GoogleUnfortunately, Style over Substance
I instructed Gilbert and Rose to market my property in summer 2023. I saw plenty of Gilbert and Rose boards throughout Westcliff and assumed they would be able to sell our house in a professional and efficient manner. We were let down by numerous members of staff throughout the two months our propety was marketed with Gilbert and Rose. A complete waste of time and energy.
Gilbert and Rose failed at everything you would expect from an estate agent.
Agents turned up late for viewings, leaving potential clients waiting on our doorstep. This happened on numerous occasions and on one occasion my partner had to facilitate the viewing. There was no apology from the agent.
Viewings were cancelled and we were not informed on several occasions.
Viewings were booked without our consent.
We did not receive regular feedback from viewings.
The Senior Property Valuer told us (via whatsapp) the market value had dropped 10% within the few weeks our property was marketed. He requested that we market our property £25,000 less than the price we eventually agreed when we remarketed with a different local agent.
On another occasion a buyer wanted to make an offer but this was never followed up by Gilbert and Rose. We only found out after taking our property off the market.
There seems to be minimal to no supervision of staff, so it appears important things are missed. We had no regular communication with one contact. Updates were received in the form of whatsapp messages telling us to continually lower the price of our property. Completely unprofessional.
Moving to a different agent was the best decision we made and I only wished we moved earlier. I could not believe the difference in level of service
There is no chance we could have achieved our sale price had we stayed with Gilbert and Rose.
I only gave Gilbert and Rose the time I did because I had heard horror stories that 'all estate agents are awful'. However, it doesnt need to be that way! Please do your research before considering Gilbert and Rose. Unfortunately a case of style over substance.

GoogleThe team at G&R were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish in the sale of my property, particularly Claire’s perseverance in the sales progression on a challenging chain. She was always available for an update on where things were and this made life much easier. I would highly recommend.

GoogleAgreed a sale on our deceased parents house in July 2023. Still waiting for sale to complete! Without your Progresser, Charlene, I think the sale would have fallen thru’. She has been very persistent and has gone the extra mile to try to finalise this sale. We are hopeful to complete before Christmas - Charlene is still pushing to get this to happen! The problem appears to be with a Solicitor at the end of the chain, it has been a relief to have Charlene on our side! Thank you!

GoogleHaving used Gilbert and Rose for the sale of Mums flat I found the service I received was extremely helpful. I was kept informed of the progress of the sale constantly although the market at the time was very dynamic and changing constantly. Although the solicitor instructed did their best I truly feel that the work above and beyond in my opinion by one of your staff Leanne Warren made the difference between sale or not. The buyers were not the easiest to deal with to be honest but Leannes perseverance and professionalism got the 'job done' . With the housing market as it was / it was a challenge for any sales progrsser but Leanne Warren thankfully Rose to the challenge and to be honest I , my family can't thank her enough. The property NEEDED to be sold to pay for Mums care suffering with dementia and I believe that without Leanne 's outstanding service the sale would not have happened.

GoogleJust used Gilbert & Rose for my mum’s sale and purchase. I can’t rate them highly enough. Ryan Reece was excellent and has helped us all so much even to the point of advising on a local doctor! Ryan was so efficient and responsive and gave a true first class service. Would also like to thank Megan Oliver, Lucy, Tara and Ben. What an amazing team. Made the whole journey so much more stress free.
Leanne Warren our sales progressor was fantastic and so helpful. A great idea to have someone to move the sale forward. All highly recommended.
Thank you all so much!

GoogleGilbert and Rose were recommended to me recently and I can honestly say this is the best experience I've had with an estate agent and I've dealt with many in the town. All staff are polite, friendly and happy to help (I've actually felt like a nuisance to other EAs in the past) so this was refreshing. Both Lewis and Ross were exceptional at communicating with me throughout the process responding in a timely and courteous manner and keeping me updated with viewing appointments, viewers feedback and offers. Although house not sold, I do not think these guys could have done anything more for me at this tricky time in the market. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend to others

GoogleWe have received excellent service from Gilbert and Rose. Spencer came to provide our valuation and put us at ease with his friendliness, professionalism and honest and fair appraisal of our property. The property was marketed and sold very quickly with the help of Daniel and Samuel. Finally, we would like to give a special thank you to Leanne for her efforts as the Sales Progressor. She provided regular updates to us and worked tirelessly to ensure the chain reached exchange of contracts and we are now due to complete in January. We would highly recommend Gilbert and Rose for their all round quality service.

GoogleMy experience with Gilbert and Rose was a very good one. From the initial contact with Presley, being quick with his responses and working around my time. Tara was the one to show me around the property’s and she was very informative and helpful. Then through my purchasing process Leanne was very helpful and assisted me with any queries I had. The process throughout was very enjoyable and went smoothly and I will be using Gilbert and Rose in the future for my real estate needs.

GoogleI recently was looking at properties to rent in the local area and was extremely pleased with the experience I had dealing with Steven and Sarah.
Once my initial enquiry was made I was contacted almost immediately and a suitable property was suggested and a viewing swiftly arranged within days for a time that suited me.
I was impressed with their professional attitude and personal service where I was always kept informed of developments and any queries or questions I had were responded to promptly.
I would happily recommend using Gilbert and Rose to anyone looking to rent property in the area.

GoogleWe had a great experience working with Gilbert and Rose Leigh on Sea.
Great service from the initial viewing to completion.
Ryan Perry was so easy to contact, clear and timely in all communications and always available. His personal approach made the inevitable challenges that a long chain generates a lot easier to manage.
Sales progression was led by Charlene who continued in the same style and was very proactive in helping accelerate the transaction - to the point where my solicitor commended her professionalism and capability. Even an absence in the week of completion was handled without any disruption thanks to a comprehensive and seamless handover to Karen.
They seem to have a highly motivated and collaborative team.

From the outset, when G&R chased us for the listing, to the moment of completion, we were very happy with the firm's approach. This was the second property the firm has sold for us, and we would happily recommend them to other sellers.
