GoogleWe needed to sell my Mothers house, but both my sister an live in the South of England, so getting to the property in Stoke on Trent was never easy or quick.
We had another Estate Agent that had failed to sell the house and only wanted to take the Price down!
We engaged Follwells and within weeks it had sold for the asking Price!
The process of selling a house is never easy, but Follwells made it easy! Doing a lot of chasing various Solicitors up, etc, on our behalf.
They went above and beyond, therefore if you need an Estate Agent my recommendation is use Follwells you WILL NOT be disappointed.

GoogleI cannot recommend Follwells highly enough- if it was not for them I would not be sitting here in my beautiful house that we saw on their website and instantly fell in love with!
In November '25 we didnt even have our own house on the market. Fast forward 10 weeks and we 're now living in the house that we fell in love with and are still pinching ourselves!
We saw the house and rang Follwells to arrange a viewing. They organised this very quickly and then followed up the next day for feedback. When we said that we were very interested and asked them for their help to put our property on the market, they arranged this very quickly and helped us to navigate our way through the process.
They kept us fully informed and talked through everything with us in a very caring and professional manner.
Follwells came up with the idea of a house swap with the owner of the property as they thought that our house may be what she was looking for. The owner of the property we wanted came to view ours and bought it before our house had been properly released onto the market, which saved us a lot of inconvenience and stress. If we hadn't signed up with Follwells I highly doubt that this venture would have been possible!
Throughout the transaction the team kept in close contact with us and chased up with the solicitors every week, keeping us fully informed. Mark, Tom, Helen and the rest of the team- thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for enabling this dream to become possible and we are forever grateful to you!!
We love our house so much- thankyou for making this such a smooth and stress- free journey!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and your positive words. It's fantastic when everything aligns. In a world of AI, ChatGPT and Bots it was great to see traditional Estate Agency in action matching the right homes to the right people.

GoogleAmazing from the start! I can’t praise Follwells enough for selling my property in a professional and efficient way. It was the second estate agents I used after being misadvised by the first one. Follwells were realistic from the start and offered such a professional service during a difficult process. Helen was brilliant in dealing with everything once the offer was accepted, and kept me in the loop at every stage. Highly recommended to anyone!

GoogleThanks so much Helen and John. Follwells have provided a fantastic service to myself and my Mum during the sale of her house. I feel you have gone over and above what I ever expected. It was quite daunting the thought of selling a property 200 miles away, but you've provided full reassurance and support every step of the way, making it as simple and easy as it could be, and organising other services to help clear the house etc on our behalf.
Thanks so much for everything, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend using Follwells for a reliable and efficient service.

GoogleFollwells yet again amazing !!
They were marketing the house that we had an offer accepted on and what a tricky chain it was to manage - Helen navigated through it so well , keeping in contact regularly with ourselves and solicitors . So much goes into the sale of a property to ensure it completes, and so many things can go wrong , Helen made sure everything was on track and straightened out things quickly when they steered off !
Thank you once again .

GoogleWe recently sold our house using Follwells estate agency. I can’t speak highly enough about their professionalism and effectiveness:
• When we decided to sell, the whole process was executed with great efficiency, the house inspected, the valuation made, the photos taken and the video tour recorded by professionals, the copy written and signed off by us, and the ad posted on both Follwells’ website and on Rightmove.
• Viewings were arranged with the minimum of fuss, with full consultation and confirmation beforehand, and feedback secured and passed on to us afterwards.
• We’d sold the house within six weeks, and the process through to exchange of contracts and completion was handled calmly and competently.
• Follwells also dealt with an offer we put in on another house, helped us arrange a surveyor’s report, and dealt sympathetically with both ourselves and the vendor when we decided not to proceed.
• At all stages, with both the sale of our house and the aborted purchase of another, they advised us and kept us fully informed about what was going on.
To conclude, being a small local firm, Follwell’s knowledge of property in the area, their willingness to let us know when suitable houses were about to come onto the market, and their friendly advice at every stage of both selling and buying, turned what we’ve always found in the past to be a very stressful process into a piece of cake. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the level of personal attention was hugely impressive.
In short, I can recommend Follwells without reservation, they’re the best!

GoogleExcellent service. Following a previous sale falling through at the last minute after 5 months (with another Estate agents), I was apprehensive about remarketing the property. I was reassured by Follwells that they would monitor the sale very closely and address any issues promptly to avoid another lengthy transaction that could result with another failed sale.
All viewings were carried out by themselves which resulted in an offer within a few days.
I was kept well informed during the sale process, and Vicky was very proactive, making sure any potential delays were avoided by her great communication between ourselves and all other relevant parties.
The whole process completed very quickly.
I would definitely use Follwells again.

GoogleHaving had bad experiences with larger estate agent chains in the past, I’d decided only to use smaller, family-run independent businesses moving forward. So when a colleague recommend Follwells to me, as she’d had a great experience selling her property with them, I decided to give them a go.
I was so pleased with them from start to finish. The team are great, very responsive. Really happy with the photos & listing on RightMove. I got some great tips on how to prepare the property for viewings. And they managed the competing buyers really well, ending up with around 10% over the asking price.
I would 100% recommend. Thanks Team Follwells!

GoogleHaving used Follwells in the past we certainly weren’t going to use any other Estate Agents, this is the third house they have sold for us and from start to finish they were brilliant.
Mark came out to value our property and advised us on how the current market was performing. He arranged a professional photographer to come out and take photos including Ariel shots which were AMAZING. We were inundated with viewings and secured a buyer within a few days and then Helen & Vicky took over with regular feedback and updates throughout the sale process .
Five stars for all of you at Follwells, you were absolutely brilliant and I would recommend FOLLWELLS to anyone!!
Thank you

GoogleToday we completed on our purchase with Follwells.
We cannot speak highly enough of Follwells. It was a purchase that was only possible through the constant diligence, proactivity and positivity of Helen.
We were a little bit naive as to the importance of the estate agent role in a transaction but at multiple turns Helen single-handedly managed the entire chain to ensure we met a pre-Christmas completion. The Follwells service vs our estate agent for our sale was just incomparable.
We can’t thank you enough Helen and the team at Follwells - no one should use any other estate agent.

GoogleThis was my 2nd time using Follwells Estate Agents, and with good reason, they get the job done. They make it their business to go above and beyond in finding out what you need to know about keeping your move and chain going and as stress free as possible.
After selling my property on the 2nd viewing last September they kept myself and more importantly my buyer upto date and informed when we hit a stumbling block with the first house we were buying. They assured us our buyer was committed and put us at ease, and 8 months later we moved last week.
Moving twice in 18 months the team were fantastic but I'm hoping not to use them again for a long time..... moving is stressful, if your planning on selling up let the amazing team at Follwells do what they do best, you won't be disappointed 🏠

GoogleI discussed with Tom Follwell, the level of survey I needed on a relatively new property and after a full explanation of each, I chose a level higher than I had originally thought necessary. That decision was fully validated because Tom’s survey report was far more detailed than I expected and confirmed some of my own observations. It was professionally written and presented and included a comprehensive list of topics to include in the property search as well as questions to ask of the vendors before signing contracts. A friendly, personal and professional service at a very reasonable price that I would highly recommend to others. Thank you.

GoogleUsed Follwells to sell our late parents’ home and the service we received was excellent from start to finish. All the staff members we dealt with were extremely helpful and friendly and made what was a difficult time much easier. John Follwell provided clear and knowledgeable advice about the process and we were immediately confident that we made the right choice instructing Follwells. Helen Follwell was our main point of contact once we had an offer on the house and she was brilliant, ensuring we were kept up to date at all times and any requests we made for help were dealt with immediately. We would highly recommend Follwells and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

GoogleAfter becoming aware of Follwells during a first time buyers event back in July 2025 i kept note of their services for when the time came to purchase a house.
Fast forward to Feb 2026 and that time came. We used Follwells for our Level 2 property survey on our house - even though the house wasnt being sold through follwells we were treated just as well as any of the other reveiws state.
Tom gave clear communication through his emails from my first inital enquriy and when the report was sent across it was very easy to read and understand. Highly reccomend using Follwells if you need a property survey doing for your house to understand more about your property.

GoogleWe recently bought our house through Helen Folwell at Follwells, and she and her team were absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. Helen was incredibly helpful and efficient, always on hand to answer any questions and provide guidance when needed. Her professionalism and dedication made the experience much easier than we expected. One think to mention with Folwells is that you have a dedicated member of the team assigned to your case, so you are always talking to a familiar voice who understands where you are in the process!
If we ever decide to sell our house in the future, we will definitely be using Follwells again and would highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy estate agent!

GoogleMy friend had given up on selling the attractive little terraced house he owned in Newcastle-under-Lyme after its failure to sell with another agent. On a visit to the house with my friend (we both live elsewhere) I spotted Follwells board and contacted them. We liked everything about Folwells- from the very first meeting in person to the last email. Put simply they could not have been more helpful or hardworking in their marketing of the house or in their support all round. There were 16 viewings and two offers within ten days of their taking the job. The team worked together to keep us informed and to resolve issues quickly.They responded promptly to our questions, never failing to get back to us despite how busy they always are. My friend and I would say to anyone wanting to buy or sell in Folwells areas - Phone Follwells first!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleMoving to a new area can be difficult, especially when you don't know which business can be good or bad. Our first interaction in Shropshire (Surprise) was with Tom Follwell who completed the survey on our property. Tom was very thorough in his approach and the report was very comprehensive leaving us no doubt what needed to be done to our new property. I had also asked Tom whilst he was doing the survey, to look at a wall we wanted to take out which he included in the report, which helped us to start making early plans. Would highly recommend Tom if you want a professional service.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
