We had a brilliant experience

We had a brilliant experience with Nested who helped us to sell our house very quickly for a good price and were a fantastic support through the tortuous buying process. I can thoroughly recommend them. Emily, our buying agent was outstanding. She always came back to us really quickly on any query and would ring to check how everything was going just at the point when we were thinking of contacting her. She seemed to have a second sense as to when we would need her. She gave us some very good negotiation strategies and lots of helpful advice which enabled us to get a good price on our new house. It was reassuring to have someone to go to for impartial advice throughout. We also had excellent help from Josh, Chris and Leah during the selling process. Josh and Chris gave us three realistic valuations on the house we were selling which were higher than other estate agents. They were also very positive and gave us the impression that they liked the house and saw its good qualities. Leah was also a great help in pushing the sale through. Nothing was too much trouble for all of them. Their recommended solicitor was also excellent.

Highly recommended

We only have good things to say about Nested (Islington team), and highly recommend it for anyone looking to sell/buy a new propertyy in this area. Our sale went really smoothly (from first viewing to offer accepted in about two weeks!) and Jamie was very helpful in answering questions we had during the process. He was also very helpful in guiding us during the intial stages of the purchase of our new place. The online system to manage viewings etc works really well, and you can easily update you availablilty etc. Another nice feature is that you get feedback from the viewings, both from the agent and the clients, and allows you to address anything specific for future visits.We want to make a particular mention to Emily Askham, the buying agent, who guided us through the purchase of our new property. She provided expert advice on the different properties that we were interested in, and once we decided to make an offer, she helped us throughout the whole process. Once the offer was accepted, Emily was also always happy to have a chat to advice us with the different aspects of getting to completion. Thanks so much Emily!

Record sale in my block of flats

I can’t thank Alan enough for what he done. Alan got me the record sale within my block of flats, selling for a lot more than I anticipated. He is 100% the best estate agent about. Alan is only ever 1 phone call away. He keeps you up to date with any new information and is very efficient. Amazing photography and video from Agata, and brilliant marketing from Alan. I would urge anyone to use Alan and think you would be stupid not to.

Buying agent: a brilliant service for first timers

We're first time buyers who've been using Nested as Buying Agents, and we couldn't be happier with them. Emily was brilliant: she held our hand through the entire process, whether that was producing reports on properties we'd seen, helping us write emails to estate agents, or just helping to calm our nerves when waiting nervously for responses.She thought of lots of different things that we wouldn't have thought about, and even helped us draft offer letters to estate agents when we were ready to put in an offer.I think the best bit was how proactive she was: she'd phone up to check how things were going, and ask if there's anything she could do to help. It really felt like she was by our side for the whole process, and it was so much easier navigating the entire process. Thanks Emily!

Jack Gundry - Chelmsford

I recently had the pleasure of working with Jack and I couldn't recommend him enough. From our first meeting, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs as a seller. Jack provided invaluable insights into the market, guided myself and my partner through the entire process (First time sellers), and was always available to answer my questions. Jack went above and beyond, handling all the details and making the experience relatively stress-free.

Having used Nested to sell my property…

Having used Nested to sell my property and not leave feedback which I was tempted to do is not how the online system works. So here is my feedback on this internet based company. If I had to do it all again I would sell my property using a local estate agent with a presence on the high street with a local reputation. You want to be able to pop into a high street branch and speak to someone - even through lockdown a lot of estate agents kept their offices open and worked limited hours. My sale was let by down by a) Nested gave the buyer my cell phone number without my permission after the sale and I got a barrage of calls from the buyer from 9am after my move b) Nested moved my move out date forward which meant the buyer had the weekend to settle in while I lost the weekend to move out and lost a lot of my stuff in the process. Buyers became plentiful once the government announced a continuation of the stamp duty holiday but you would not have known that from Nested. Considering I paid them 1.5% of the sale, they treated me at times like a nuisance. There were some legal glitches to overcome which was down to the lawyer to solve but it took forever, they kept letting the buyer in for viewings insisting on it, and then lots of different surveys, and the lawyer was recommended by Nested. Also finding out the other buyer was herself an estate agent once the sale was complete.

If you’re in Scotland - Alan Shields

If you’re in Scotland and want to sell your house, then Alan Shields is the right man for the job. Alan has been great at walking me through the sale process, which can be overwhelming for a first-timer. He was always on hand to answer any of my questions, no matter the day or time. From the beginning, advertising to the sale was seamless. Basically, if you're looking for top price, appoint Alan as your lead.

Andrew Reid - A+ Experience

I recently sold my property with Andrew Reid in the North East of Scotland. Andrew not only successfully sold my property within 2 weeks but was also selling the property I was purchasing which had made the entire process extremely easy. Andrew had a wealth of knowledge and delivered exactly what was promised and I received Home Report value with ease. This was my first experience of using Nested and it was a really positive experience. Having Andrew host the viewings rather than myself took so much pressure off and meant I could get initial feedback on my property right away. Andrew was so helpful throughout the entire process. Always keeping me up to date and answering any questions I had. I would recommend Nested and Andrew to anyone looking to sell their property.

Look no further than Kenny to sell your Property

Working with Kenny was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His professional and friendly approach set him apart from any agents we have used in the past. His knowledge of Newton Farm is second to none, which I believe helped get our property sold within a week, for more than we expected. Being available 24/7, something which we didn’t think much of when initially discussed, was a massive help. Having two young kids and working full time meant that late into the evenings, when we had time to think, if we had the odd question, he replied quickly via WhatsApp or a quick call if needed . Unbelievable, when you think about it, as with other agency’s we would have been talking to a voicemail or waiting on an email reply the following dayI honestly can’t thank him enough for the support and effort selling our home, and I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a seamless and successful selling experience. The kids still shout “there’s Kenny” when they see his for sale boards about our estate.

Outstanding performance and service

Well what can I say … this man is 100% hands down the most genuine and best estate agent that I have came across in my life. If you ever need to call for anything he is only one ring away even if it’s just advice, can’t be anymore helpful in everything he says and does. I put all my trust in him from start to finish and the trust back was more than any money could buy. Delighted with my business with him and knowing I now have a great friend in life just goes to show that Alan is a class above the rest 10/10. If you need a home sold at record breaking sales or even to buy I can’t recommend this man enough. Outstanding service throughout with peace of mind.

An excellent service from Nested Walthamstow

After initially marketing our property with a high street estate agent with no success we decided to give Nested a go due to their good reviews and the unique way they conduct their business. During our first chat with Joshua, he gave us a thorough run through of the process and the services available with Nested. Our property was promptly listed, with photographs, floor plans and a virtual walk-through and all documentation was completed online. Viewings were booked within the first week and in these challenging times they were conducted in a professional manner. Following an offer on our property we were then able to put in an offer of our own to create an onward chain. Throughout this whole process we found the online portal really helpful in providing feedback on viewings, live data of current market conditions, and detailed property reports (handy when negotiating on price).The team at Nested (Joshua, Chris, Emily and Leah) were fantastic in guiding us through the listing, viewing, negotiations and progression of our chain.

Highly-rated service

Nested were fantastic from the beginning. We were looking for a home valuation, and eventually listed for sale with them. They managed to get us two good offers within a month or two but due to a change in circumstance on our end we decided it wasn't the time to sell after all. That said, Josh and Chris were very accommodating and understanding. Their 'double agent' service was also a great added bonus, as Emily and Fraser were on hand to offer advice and guidance with our new purchase too. All in all, we wouldn't hesitate in recommending Nested.

Great service with better value. Definitely a "moving" agency.

We recently completed a sale with Nested being mid-chain in a chain of 3. Starting from a fee lower than the high street agent, Amir and Debora offered the same level of local market knowledge and professionalism.Their online tools were very useful for us to understand our options for asking price and they were realistic and supportive. Throughout the viewing phase, I'd suggest they try to update the viewings in the portal a bit more often as part of Smart Sale.From the buying side, it was a big help to present ourselves as potentially chain-free buyers with the Cash Advance proposition, even if we did not need it in the end.Fraser was also helpful as Buying Agent. It was very refreshing to have someone "on your side" as a buyer. The property reports were insightful and gave us a realistic picture to ensure that we were not overpaying for our onwards purchase.Finally, the real difference was the Chain Progressors. We had Nicole (with Leah as stand-in) manage the chain and really being the one making sure that the chain was not stalling, reaching out to the other agency involved, and managing our buyers' expectations, etc.They were all very responsive both on phone or email, which is something that is very important to us.

5* Service Nested Walthamstow

Cannot recommend Nested Walthamstow enough! They were the final estate agents we saw in the area after a long search but extremely happy we waited for them to visit and sold our flat through them. Communication was great throughout, the specialist progression team is extremely helpful, keeping you in the loop with how your sale is progressing. The sales team also negotiated a price we were very happy with and in a quick time frame. Other benefits like the portal to show buyer feedback, the area analysis and buyer reports for your onward purchase are great additions to their overall package as well.

A reliable service in unreliable times

In a year of ever-changing rules and restrictions, Nested have been an unchangeable source of advice, help and reassurance. Emily has been amazing throughout; we originally met with her just before the first lockdown, and she thoroughly explained how the process would work, expectations were clearly laid out and she set us completely at ease. Our flat was listed promptly - photographs, floor plans and a virtual walk-through were provided swiftly and safely to meet COVID challenges - and we were able to seamlessly complete all documentation online. Emily gave sound advice regarding our list price and Joshua ran a great open day with 11 viewings, resulting in 6 offers!Nested also put us in touch with our solicitor, Tarron, who was fantastic from start to finish. She has been fast and yet thorough, responding immediately to any and all queries, and went above and beyond with chasing other solicitors and finalising documentation to ensure exchange took place in the final few days before the Christmas holidays.Both Tarron and Emily were a pleasure to work with. Emily helped us approach sellers in a direct manner, making reasonable offers that were accepted without delays. When we encountered setbacks, she helped us stay positive and was a source of rational advice, common sense and an excellent sounding-board to run thoughts past. Nested gave us a ton of support this year; each staff member we dealt with was helpful and friendly, and their services were extremely useful, from Fraser’s buyer’s reports and Alice’s COVID updates, to Nicole’s on-the-ball help with conveyancing, their communication has been fantastic. We really couldn’t fault them, and would recommend them wholeheartedly. We hope not to be moving again for a very long time (!) but would use them in the future without a second thought.

Nested provided an excellent service

Nested provided an excellent service. They market your property expertly, great photos and virtual tour, and we got a lot of interest very quickly. They provide really useful insight through data and in-depth feedback on individual viewings.Nested got us some good offers and weeded out the time wasters.Their ‘post offer’ service is the most impressive part of their package. Our buying agent, Emily, helped save us over £35k on our onward purchase and our conveyancing progressor, Becci, stopped our sale breaking down. Our buyer had lots of problems with their solicitor and sacked them. Becci quickly found the buyer a trusted solicitor who was within their budget and who could complete speedily even though the housing market was very busy. This, arguably, saved the whole chain.I spoke to lots of ‘wide boy’ estate agents who promised me the world. Nested staff are polite, knowledgeable and rational. They treat you like partners rather than a client and, as you’re going to be working with an estate agent for at least 4-12 months, you might as well choose nice people to work with. They were also much better value than the high street agents.Thanks Reiss, Chris, Charlie, Becci and Emily! We will definitely use Nested next time we move.

Professional, knowledgeable and responsive!

I have been really impressed by Nested at each stage in the process. It is my first time purchase so not really sure what to expect! From the start Emily and colleagues handled the viewing (which felt very covid secure) and the offer stage really professionally - they gave the impression of being straight forward, highly professional and transparent in the process which I really appreciated. Nicole has been managing the conveyancing side and has been fantastic - always on top of everything and making sure the process moved along well! Thank you!

Fantastic, efficient and honest highly recommended

We can't really find any fault with Amir and his Nested Wandsworth Team. Our flat was not the easiest to sell as it needs extensive modernisation but Amir gave us a realistic price which we were happy with and manage to find us a suitable buyer within a couple of weeks. Another great asset of Nested is Leah our Conveyancing Progressor. She was efficient and aggressive but at the same time very professional in completing our sale. The buying report service is also a fantastic service if you're looking into buying after selling. Our buying agent Emily was amazing with providing us with very helpful reports on properties we were looking to buy. Her report actually did helped us saved some money. So..two thumbs up to Amir and his Nested Wandsworth team.

5 star service

I honestly cannot recommend Andy Reid enough!His service and advice was second to none right from the very start and all the way the through to the handover of keys upon settlement. He was very fair and honest with me throughout the process, giving me a realistic valuation price for my property before going over and above with viewings and everything else that goes with that. Andy also got an amazing offer on my house (within about a week of the advert going live) which was in excess of the valuation price. I can only put this down to all his hard work and expertise. As I said, I cannot recommend Andy enough, he is worth his weight in gold and was always just at the other end of the phone.Thank you so much again!
