Professional service in the Wantage office

I couldn't rate Guy Simmons and the team in the Wantage / Oxfordshire office more highly. Professional, friendly and personably from start to finish, with a great local network. He achieved an above-asking price offer from a lovely couple who I am sure enjoyed his helpful and open approach as much as we did.

I have had a horrible experience with this agent. Especially one lady called Claire Millington in Hull and north ferriby who seems to have some grudge against me. She is doing more damage to the vendors when I am offering the asking price and then she makes every possible effort to scuttle the deal.this has happened twice. Better avoid them though most of them are like that but I am sure some good will be still there.

F&C excellent service

F&C are a little more expensive than competitors however the extra cost is well worth it.They are the only estate agent I have ever used that are proactive and always contactable. Quite often after agreeing the contract estate agents are less than helpful but F&C were available daily to ensure the sale moved along effectively.The process from valuation to sale was efficient and clearly defined. The brochure was also much better quality than standard estate agents.I would highly recommend them if you want a good service and excellent communication.

Great customer service

Great customer service . I would especially like to thank Rebecca for all her help in getting us over the line in the purchasing of the property. It was quite a lengthy process but with her help we got there in the end

Should be held accountable

I don't know why this company has so many glowing reviews? The website is misleading and contains properties in London that are no longer available, because they don't maintain their website. Even their Barnes agent said don't bother calling because it's all AI robots answering the phones. I found them unhelpful and deceptive and I wouldn't recommend the west London part of the company.

Chepstow office are a bit like the old double glazing salesmen, you just cannot get rid of them. Every few weeks we get a letter telling us that our current agents are no good and use F&C. However when you email, they ignore it, They never answer the landline 01594 715444 and Richards mobile 07970 237304 is the same and usually goes to answerphone. And all I want to do is get off the mailing list, however what if I wanted to buy the house you are thinking of listing with them?? I would have given up a long time ago.Plus they use 'The Homeowner' to get round the Mailing Preference Register, that I am registered on but letters addressed such are unregulated.If it was me I would look elsewhere for an agent, Purple Bricks for example - £1000 and listed for 5 years if you are not in a hurry to sell (like us Richard so take us off the list pleeeeeeeeeeease)

Anita Adams (Staffordshire) did exactly what she promised. Sold our home. She is professional and holds your hand from start to finish. Anita keeps you updated on a regular basis and takes the stress out of selling your home. I would highly recommend Anita.

Several obstacles to get viewings, poor service

As a buyer trying to get a viewing, is a very stressful, exhausting process through fine & Country Wells. I made a complaint today due to an agent raising her voice when I explained for the second time the poor service. I am writing a review after having a call from a manager/Director ? Who’s response to my complaint was very poor, defend the agent, was uninterested in how I had been made to feel. I said I would give an appropriate review in terms of how the complaint was handled, they clearly are not interested in how buyers are treated with complete disrespect, hostility from my experience .Thank you for your reply, there really is no point emailing you as I have spoken to Mr Peter Greatorex managing Director prior to my review, as a result of how he handled this complaint, prompted my review.

Professional, friendly and efficient

The team at Diss are fantastic and did all they could to assist and reduce the stress of buying a new property. Philippa Martinez and Sue Croft were the standout members of the Diss team, and I credit them for their professional, highly efficient and friendly approach.

Thank you to the Colchester Branch on the buying of my house. Buying or selling I wouldn’t look to go to any other estate agent. They truly earned every penny of their commission. A extra big thank you to Paula McCartney. She was a complete star from start to finish

Highly recommended

F&C Willerby branch did an excellent job of marketing and hosting prospective buyers when we had moved out of the area. The sale was not a simple one and Nicki and the team sorted everything to complete a two part sale for us. Highly recommended for their attitude, feedback and no fuss professionalism.

Great Service in Northamptonshire

My wife and I have recently been interested in properties in Northamptonshire represented by Marie Fritz, as selling agent. We have been very impressed by Marie's knowledge of the houses in question, and of the local towns and region, and she has, in our view, represented the houses enthusiastically and fairly. My wife and I both saw Marie as active and engaged throughout - we have seen plenty of Sales Agents, in the past, who are far too passive in the process. The fact that we have not, in the end, purchased one of these properties was certainly not down to Marie and the way she handled the process - on the contrary, we felt her handling of the agency allowed us time to properly consider whether any of these houses were really right for us and, in the end, our decision not to pursue a purchase to completion was merely down to specific issues which were not possible to mitigate.We are currently in the process of selling our own property in Bedfordshire. The best recommendation or reference we can provide is for us to say that we would be very happy to enlist the services of Marie if ever we were in the market to sell a house in an area she was covering from an Estate Agency perspective.

Recently sold a house in Norwich

Recently sold a house in Norwich. Natasha & Richard were exemplary. The pictures and brochure did the house proud. Their after sales level of reporting was really helpful in concluding the transaction. Having used other agents in the past all I can say is they outshone the competition by a county mile.

As the property purchaser upon exchange of contracts.

As the property purchaser , I met Nigel Plaskett of Stratford on Avon office in his role as agent for the vendor.Throughout the 8 month purchase period ( property withdrawn from the market at one stage) , we established a strong professional relationship with him which engendered our trust and respect , and indeed our patience as cash buyers. His agent role was fully respected throughout.His professionalism is a great reflection on your Brand , which I would now consider employing if/whenever I may require require it’s / Nigel’s services.

A HUGE thank you to Alice ( Willerby office) for her professional, friendly and helpful advice during my recent sale. At the "last minute" the chain broke down but Alice was so reassuring to get it back on track which she did within a day. She followed the progress of the chain personally and gave me very regular updates. She is a very hard working manager for the Willerby office. Thank you once again Alice
