GoogleWorst experience ever, completely waste of time. Told us one time on the message and turned up another time. Completely ruined my schedule and my partners schedule. So had to waste money on Uber twice. Couldn’t even see the house properly.

Hi Aleena,
I'm sorry you've had this experience - it's only right I take a look into this as it's not what I expect for our customers.
You came into the office with your partner and was booked in with one of our agents for the property at an agreed time & date.
Your partner subsequently called our office on the day in question to advise he was running 10 minutes late - he did not arrive until 20 minutes after the agreed appointment.
In the end, our agent did manage to do a viewing with your partner. Beyond that, I'm not sure else we could do.
You're more than welcome to come into the office to talk with me further or, I'm available on 01772 651165 / declan@highgatehomes.co.uk.
Best wishes,
Declan Taylor
Office Manager

GoogleI would like to commend Declan for his prompt and professional assistance in arranging access to the property at short notice. He efficiently coordinated with all tenants and ensured everyone was informed about the electrician’s visit. His clear communication and proactive approach made the process seamless and greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much Declan

GoogleShaun and Declan were both exceptionally professional. Both were friendly and helpful. Shaun took the time to understand our needs as first time renters, ensured we had all we needed. Declan was super efficient at ensuring our application was processed quickly and smoothly. They were flexible and dealt with any concerns we had, ensuring we moved into a clean and ready home. Shaun was very accessible to discuss our plans. If you plan on being a good tenant and want to work with a good agent, they are great and as a landlord, I would recommend their thoroughness in securing quality tenants as quickly as possible.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleThe Team at Highgate Homes are a very professional and friendly team.
They went through the whole process of putting my house up for sale to completion,explaining and helping me in any way,no questions were unanswered big or small,or stupid..!!
They always reassured me and put me at ease through the whole process,nothing was too much for them,from answering questions,booking viewings,scanning documents for me,and friendly chats on the odd occasions I went in to branch.
The Director Shaun was fantastic all the way through the sale,keeping me in the loop,chasing up buyers details,guiding me through the process.
He told me from our initial appointment not to worry he would definately get the house sold for me,and he did on the very 1st day..
SOLD IN A DAY !!!
I’ve only one regret I’m relocating so can’t rely on him to help with my new house sale…..
I’ve already referred a few of my friends and customers to Highgate Homes.
I also used their recommended solicitors,who were also excellent.
Many thanks to Shaun and the Team 😊PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleHad an appointment to view a house at 9:30 AM. Waited outside for 20 minutes and no one showed up. I called the agency, and they said they’d find out what happened and call me back, but they never did. I called again, and they told me someone would be there in 5 to 10 minutes. At that point, I told them I was leaving. Extremely unprofessional.

Hi Parshant,
First off, I'm very sorry that you've had this experience, it's not what you should expect of our agency. We've had a member of staff off sick over the weekend and into today so, this is what had caused the issue. Still, this doesn't account for your experience.
If you'd like to get booked in for another viewing or, if you'd like to speak with me directly regarding this matter, please call me on 01772 651165 or, email me via office@highgatehomes.co.uk.
Kind regards,
Shaun McFaul

GoogleI don't think I've ever had such a kind and helpful experience with an estate agent like I have with Highgate Homes. They made the process of my house sale very easy and understandable for a first time buyer. They were very speedy with responses to enquiries, and very reassuring throughout the process. I would highly recommend buying, selling, or renting through Highgate

FacebookIt started with a difficult decision for me to make back in September, after living at my house for 31 years. After the initial meet with Shaun, I decided to go ahead with the the listing. . After getting over the asking price, I'm glad I choose Highgate homes AND my house completed just before Christmas too! I was particularly impressed with how they accompanied the viewings.
Thank you to Shaun, Declan, Laura and Ali.

GoogleShaun was really friendly and personable, while remaining professional throughout. He always responded to emails/calls and answered our nervous, first-time-buyer questions as well as liaising with our seller for anything he didn’t have an immediate answer to. We found everyone at the team to be a really friendly bunch and nothing like the nightmares we’ve heard from other buyers with different agents. Thanks to everyone at Highgate we have the house of our dreams 💖PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleBrilliant lettings service from Declan and the team. As a landlord, I have found this to be one of the best lettings services I have used. The quality of the reports and tenant checks is very good and the responses from Declan et al are very speedy - exactly what we wanted as a landlord. Definitely recommend and I will certainly be using them myself again going forward

GoogleWhat a breath of fresh air ! I only wish that the house I am buying had been listed with Highgate Homes because having been in contact with numerous estate agents over the past few months, I can confidently say that Shaun and Claire have been consistently the most efficient and helpful agents I have dealt with.
From a buyer's point of view, the things that matter happened, my calls were answered quickly by friendly, knowledgeable staff. I wasn't sitting on hold or waiting for callbacks which seemed to be the norm for everywhere else.
Viewings were efficiently arranged, and followed up with meaningful calls for feedback which if I was selling a house, is exactly what I'd want my agent to be doing and why I would undoubtedly choose to list it with Highgate rather than elsewhere.

GoogleWe have never used a letting agency before as we have always had tenants word of mouth. We could not fault the service Highgate Homes provided from first point of contact to us finalising the tenant. We were kept informed at all stages, any queries were answered quickly and professionally and we had a very good tenant within a week. We would definitely use again and can highly recommend.

FacebookI would highly recommend Highgate Homes. I recently put my house up for rental with them. They found a tenant within 2 days of the listing going live. Shaun and the team are very friendly, approachable and helpful. They used a professional photographer who took excellent pictures of my house making the listing look very good. Having spoken to numerous Estate Agents in my local area, Highgate Homes’ service and customer service stood out above all the others.
