GoogleWe chose to list with Ben Siggins after getting a few valuations from both online and high street agents. Importantly for us we were never put on hold waiting for somebody to answer the phone in the office, our first impressions with staff were excellent and we felt they were more honest and realistic than a few other companies we contacted.
Matthew came out to do our valuation and subsequently photograph and list the property (the listing looked fabulous). We found him to be down-to-earth, professional, knowledgable and efficient. Everything has been clearly explained and transparent and as we are selling and buying for the first time, it’s been invaluable having our questions answered whenever needed. We can’t fault the service from the team and remarkably, even in this Covid-19 uncertainty, we had listed and sold our property extremely quickly!
They always seem to be on top of the house chain - Kevin and James have been so efficient throughout and have really shone out as members of the team who go above and beyond for their clients, it's really reassuring to feel that someone is overseeing it to take away some of the stress! Overall we highly recommend this team and would definitely use Ben Siggins again for future moves, so much so that we've already recommended them to friends and family!

GoogleI would highly recommend using Ben Siggins. We used them recently to find a new home to rent. Jody was the lovely lady who looked after us, she was very professional, and nothing was too much trouble what so ever. The whole process was very quick and effortless was so easy. Usually from past experiences it has always been a very stressful time finding a property to rent, it was a refreshing change we will definitely use Jody at Ben Siggins again.

GoogleA thoroughly professional service from start to finish. Matthew’s initial visit for the valuation demonstrated the professionalism and experience at play. His charming and polite manner and transparency with regard to marketing and price immediately put us at our ease. The whole team then made the process a breeze, viewings were handled carefully without disruption, and feedback was prompt and thorough. We were kept well informed and our expectations were managed at all times. I would definitely recommend Ben Siggins to anyone wishing to buy, sell, let or rent and would like to personally thank Kevin, James, Rebecca, Isabelle and Monika for their excellent service. Plus they are all genuinely lovely people.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

He really knows his field of work. Nothing was ever to much trouble, no question was ever a stupid question and easy to contact. If there was an issue, a quick phone call and it was resolved straight away. If you want a hassle free way of renting your property. Then contact David @Ben Siggins.

GoogleAs soon as I’d instructed Matt at Ben Siggins to sell my house I knew I was in safe hands as he’s been brilliant from the word go. He’s very personable, professional and an all round nice guy. He took the photos himself and measured for the floor plans and they were on line the next day... very impressive. They had viewings lined up within the week and my house sold within 4 days. All in all it was an easy and stress free process and I have Matt and his team to thank for that. I must also give Harriett a personal mention as she too, has been extremely helpful and very Professional. Ben Siggins, have been brilliant and come highly recommended.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

Whoever we came across, in the Ben Siggins was great, with their passion and sincere efforts to help. We wish James and his team mates all the success with their future endeavours.

★★★★★ 3/5
GoogleWe sold our house and bought another one through Ben Siggins. Our experience was mixed.
Pros:
+ House advert was reasonably good.
+ Most staff friendly.
+ House was sold quickly.
Cons:
- House was marketed in a way that attracted buyers from a lower price bracket. Advantage is that it got people through the door, but disadvantage is that we were tempted into accepting an offer which was significantly below target.
- Frequent confusion with communication. We were stood up at the first viewing of the house we ended up purchasing, and a couple of people viewing our house were stood up too. There is clearly a problem with the way viewings are booked.
- Massive confusion was caused between us and our buyers when the agents communicated the incorrect agreed sale price to them. This led to about two weeks of daily phone calls and confusion and arguing. In the end we conceded to the terms that our buyers thought we'd accepted. We weren't happy about this.
- Sales progressor was rude to our buyers over an issue which wasn't even their fault.
Conclusion: All the confusion and tens of phone calls came to an end as soon as we got hold of the contact details of our buyers and sellers. Once we were able to talk directly to eachother, we resolved any issue that came up with a short phone call or text message. None of this toing and froing and inaccurately communicated information.
House sales and purchases would run much more smoothly (and cheaply) without middle men!!!

Dear David,
I appreciate you taking the time out to leave your feedback. There is no excuse for staff being late to appointments, and please accept my apology for this. I will be looking to deal with this immediately.
I am slightly confused by a couple of your comments; firstly, regarding the agreed price with regards to your purchase. My understanding from speaking to Beth is that the confusion was brought about by a deal looking to be done with regards to the fixtures and fittings with the new property. If I am incorrect here then again accept my apologies on behalf of my team. Secondly, I know that Sandra is upset by your comments regarding the "middle man" and that she was rude to your buyers. She worked hard (way above what I expect of her) to ensure that your sale and purchase went through as quickly as possible (We exchanged a chain of four properties in 11 weeks).
Ultimately it is your opinion that counts and I am upset that after working with you on both a sale and a purchase, the best we could get was three stars. I always aim to look to ensure that as a client of ours you would feel well looked after, are treated as an individual, are cared about and treated with respect and that we achieve your goals on your behalf. Apparently, in this situation, we were unable to do that, and for that, I am disappointed in myself and my team and hope your comments lead to clients in the future getting an even better service in the future.

GoogleSold with Ben Siggins- Beth was very knowledgable and we had a whole day of viewings due to the hard work of the team. We sold on our open day and even though the buyer pulled out, something that can’t be helped, Beth kept us up to date and we were resold within a week. We were buying a new build where they give you a time limit to exchange within and the team made sure that the process was on time and kept all parties up- to-date. 5 star service !

GoogleIm sold and currently in the process of exchanging contracts - my new home with Ben Siggins Maidstone.
Matthew Groves initially valued my home. Not at any stage did I feel under pressure to choose Ben Siggins as my agent. I made the phone call to put my property in a 6week contract. Within 3 weeks I was sold and offer accepted for my new home!! I was truly amazed how stress free this process was!!?
I used recommended financial advisor and solicitor and found communication was so much better.
Emily Fletcher has been amazing from the start taking away any high levels of stress from me by answering all sorts of questions I have thrown at her.
Emily derserves her role as a negotiator losing the 'trainee'.
Moving isn't stressful when the Ben Siggins Team at Maidstone are involved not forgetting Dan and Beth who are equally friendly and so helpful with any questions. The team doing there best to keep things moving forward and taking away any stress.
I hope that my journey will continue to be positive on moving day!
Highly recommend Ben Siggings.
