Sam was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He showed us a number of places around Hither Green and turned up on time every single time, which sounds like a small thing but makes a real difference when you’re juggling viewings around work. He’s friendly and down to earth, and there was never any pressure - just honest answers to what we asked and a genuine sense that he wanted us to find the right place rather than just any place.

We purchased our 3-bedroom house through Will at John Payne Estate Agents. Will was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Buying a home is always stressful, but his friendly and approachable nature put us at ease throughout the process. Will was always honest, open, and easy to deal with. He helped us negotiate an earlier move in date with the seller, and kept the communication between both parties professional and diplomatic, ensuring that everyone’s needs were met. Thanks to his dedication and communication skills, we are settled into our new 3-bedroom home. If you are looking for an estate agent in the area who combines integrity with a warm, personable approach, look no further than Will at John Payne. Thank you, Will, for helping to make our move a reality!

We had a great experience with John Payne selling our home. A special thank you to Sam and the rest of the sales team, who were always helpful, responsive and covered one another seamlessly during absences. Their valuation was spot on from the beginning. Although we initially tried slightly higher due to variations from other agents, we ended up selling within a week at the original price John Payne recommended. We really appreciated all their hard work and would highly recommend them as the trusted, longstanding local agent that they are.

I wanted to say a big thank you to Sam Cheeseman for all the help he gave while my parent was buying their first home. From the start, Sam was really easy to talk to, and he explained things clearly, which helped take a lot of the stress out of the process. He was always happy to answer our questions (and we had quite a few), and he kept us updated throughout, which made everything feel much more manageable. He was supportive, and genuinely seemed to care about helping us through such an important step. Buying a first home can be quite overwhelming, but Sam made the whole experience feel a lot smoother. We would also highly recommend John Payne Lee for their excellent service and support throughout. Thanks again, Sam we really appreciate everything you did for us.

We were very happy with the service we received. Communication was excellent throughout, and we were kept up to date at every stage. Chris was polite, helpful, and considerate, and any questions we had were answered promptly where possible and any that couldn’t we were assured that it would be looked into and followed up on. Overall, a very positive experience and we would happily recommend John Payne services.

William Hughes is the man you want to see when booking a viewing with John Payne. William makes you feel very welcome and open in asking questions without the typical clinical responses you would normally fear to get from an agent. A great guy, and a great ambassador for John Payne.

We chose to go with John Payne Lee for our recent house sale as we had a good experience when buying the property with them. Everything was great once again when selling; Chris, Will and the team got us an offer over the asking price within 7 days of being on the market and the rest of the process was smooth and hassle-free. Thanks team.
