GoogleIf I could give higher than a 5 I would. Bluebells have been consistently friendly and helpful since the first enquiry I made. They have often had to answer my long list of questions and even if they were not sure they would always come back to me after looking into it. I had some uncomfortable and pressured experiences with other estate agents and my experience with Bluebells was the complete opposite. They are patient, warm and I felt they genuinely wanted what was right for me rather than pushing for a sale. You can tell this is a well built establishment from its foundations. Whilst everyone we spoke with was warm and supportive, I have to especially thank Debbie K for her hard work and support throughout the entire process. She truly was only ever a phone call or email away and I genuinely felt that she was so pleased for us in our journey. The reassurance she often gave us was priceless. Also, Alison was the exact person you would want to do viewings with. She understood what we were after and didnβt waste our time. The whole team were fantastic. Thank you all. Highly recommend.

GoogleAbsolutely brilliant experience with Brian and Keegan!
Buying and selling a house can feel overwhelming at the best of times, but the team at Brian and Keegan made the whole process so much smoother and less stressful. They're a small, friendly and truly dedicated team who really take the time to look after their clients. Communication was fantastic throughout, they were always at the end of the phone, happy to answer any questions (no matter how small!) with patience and clarity.
A special shoutout to Jaime, who was absolutely brilliant. He explained everything so clearly, was always genuine, caring and really committed to making sure we felt supported every step of the way. You can tell he truly cares about his clients and wants them to have the best experience possible.
If youβre looking for an estate agent with a personal touch, excellent service and a real focus on you as the customer, then the Brian and Keegan team are 100% the people to go with. We couldnβt be happier with the service we received. Highly recommend!

GoogleWe used Bluebell for purchasing our property and, due to needing to move closer to family, we chose Bluebell again to sell our property. Both processes were as smooth as they could be, and we highly recommend them. Our house was on the market for less than a month!
The communication throughout was excellent. A big thank you to Debbie for staying on top of everything when any issues arose. The entire team was great any questions we had were answered promptly. We were kept informed and updated through phone calls and emails throughout.
Thank youπ

We had a couple of things crop up as you do with moving but they help out where they could and communicated well with our solicitor to get thing moving as quickly as possible.

Navdeep was exceptionally professional, helpful, and attentive throughout. He kept us well informed at every stage and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. His knowledge and approachable manner gave us complete confidence from start to finish.
We would highly recommend Charles Stratton and especially Navdeep to anyone looking for a reliable and efficient estate agent. Thanks you all.

We had a fantastic experience with Bluebell Estate Agents in Aylesford. From the moment our property was sold to completion, the entire process took just 4 months, which exceeded our expectations.
The team were professional, proactive, and always kept us well informed at every stage. Communication was excellent throughout, and they made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.
We really appreciated their dedication and efficiency in progressing the sale so quickly. We would highly recommend Bluebell Estate Agents.

They were super friendly and on the ball at all times and kept us well informed of all progress and delays in the whole chain. Without Debbie, we almost felt clueless at times of what was going on.
I would recommend Blubells to anyone selling/purchasing within the area.
Thanks so much Debbie and team.

GoogleBrilliant experience working with Andy Spicer and Jennie at Charles Stratton for the sale of my property. Andy was super professional and extremely knowledgable when I first met him and I knew immediately that he was the right person to help sell my property. Andy was always responsive when I emailed/called him and provided brilliant advice and guidance during my sale. Jennie was also fantastic at helping move things along between all the different solicitors. The property was marketed very well by Charles Stratton including the photography taken and this was one of the key reasons that I was able to secure two offers at the asking price in just a few days after the property was listed. Highly recommend!

I have used Charles Stratton for both letting and selling my property. Before turning to Charles Stratton I had a very bad experience with another letting agent and I was very skeptical, however, Iβm pleased to say that I was very well looked after, the team are very tentative, honest and willing to help.
Thanks to you, Nav and the team, if I ever need the same support again I will contact Charles Stratton.
Wish you all the best for the future.

GoogleBobby was an excellent estate agent for our viewing of a house last weekend. He was a polite, eloquent and confident young man. We took our time taking in everything & he was very good at letting us know he had another viewing to get to, without making us feel rushed (just informed us, without giving us the opinion he had to throw us out), a very friendly, professional & welcoming person.

We were given plenty of time to look around and ask questions. Bobby ensured we had a positive experience and told us not to hesitate to get in touch if we had further questions.
We will be in touch.

They sold our property within days of being put on the market.

GoogleI would like to Thank Andrew Spicer for his understanding at this difficult time. My mother passed away recently. I needed to obtain 3 Estate agent valuations. Andrew was a gentleman and sincere from the moment I walked into his office on main Rd Romford. He did not hesitate as I preferred an agent to physically visit my mother's home rather than a desktop research. Only 2 out of 4 estate agents I approached decided to have the upmost respect to visit which is only a few minutes drive away!
Much Appreciated Andrew and enjoy your chocolates!

GoogleAbsolutely phenomenal experience selling my home with Andrew Spicer at Charles Stratton Estate Agents (Gidea Park). I was completely blown away when they managed to secure a cash buyer before my property was even officially advertised online!
Thanks to their extensive network of active buyers, they matched my house with the perfect buyer immediately. Selling to a cash buyer off-market saved weeks of stressful open houses, eliminated the risk of a broken property chain, and made the entire process incredibly fast and secure. From that initial match all the way through to a swift exchange, with completion date secured; Andy and Jenny provided flawless communication and support. If you want a proactive estate agent who delivers premium results without the usual stress, I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Thank you Charles Stratton and special thanks again to Andy and Jenny!

GoogleAvoid at all costs!!!
Absolutely clueless. They are ripping off both landlords and tenants. Basic remedial issues within the property have taken over two years and at the time of writing this are still unresolved.
The contractors they use are cheap and unprofessional. The quality of the work is so bad that they have to come out with over and over again collecting money each time.
Carpet in living room needed replacing and they fobbed us off for 2 years. In the end the actually landlord felt so bad for us he came and fitted the flooring himself as the prices he was being quoted by Bluebell were 3x more.
Faulty integrated microwave, no attempted whatsoever to resolve. Ultimately again the landlord brought us a new microwave as an interim resolution. The integrated microwave is still not functional.
Horrific pipe knocking sound that vibrates the house all day and night. The only thing I can liken it to is a train passing through the house. I have a 4,5 and 10 year old who have been kept up through the night with the noise. The issue is within the wall and they wonβt pay the cost to have a professional investigate. They keep sending cowboy handy men donβt have a clue what they are doing or rightly quote the cost of knocking in the wall and painting it back afterwards.
Leak under the kitchen sink that produces 9-12 mop buckets of water a day. The contractor cancelled the day he was due to attend as he had to do his MOT. He then cancelled again on the day he was ment to attend as he had to pick up his son. The truth is the contractor canβt do the work himself because he get more capable individuals to do it on his behalf.
When you call them they donβt answer if they know itβs you and pass the phone to their colleagues so they donβt have answers to simple questions you ask.
Sink and bathroom sealed with incorrect building material. No fix.
Empty apology after empty apology with no resolution.I honestly donβt know how they are still in business.
Avoid at all costs.

Dear DanieI,
I would like to begin by expressing our sincere apologies for the numerous issues you have encountered in the past few years of your tenancy. First and foremost, I want to acknowledge your frustration with the extended timelines for getting these issues resolved and for any stress and inconvenience this has caused. We continuously strive to provide high quality services but we must adhere to the landlords instructions when it comes to selecting and managing contractors for property maintenance.
As you are aware, the knocking pipe noise, which is undoubtedly distressing, especially with young children, has been particularly difficult to diagnose and a number of items have been replaced on the recommendation of contractors, including the landlords contractor, over the past 18 months to try and resolve this issue. More recently, one of the contractors was unable to attend as planned but had contacted you directly on the morning of the visit to advise you he had a family emergency. This has since been rearranged and we sincerely hope this work will resolve the issue.
Unfortunately our job is made increasingly difficult when landlords do not respond to repeated attempts from us to gain authority to go ahead with remedial works. In addition to this, there are occasions when a landlord informs us they are not in a position to afford for the work to go ahead which is even more frustrating.
We strenuously refute however, your claim that we are ripping off landlords and tenants. We do not make any charges to tenants and unlike many letting agents, we do not make a margin or markup on maintenance costs. When repairs or maintenance are required on a property, we work to get the best possible pricing for our landlords and ensure the work is carried out to a high standard.
We understand your disappointment and are working diligently to resolve any outstanding issues promptly, while aligning with your landlords instructions and we are committed to ensuring you have a more positive experience moving forward.
Yours sincerely
John Paul Rafferty
Managing Director

GoogleAndy was my wifeβs and Iβs agent on the recent sale of our property and can say nothing but good things about him. He was so informative on everything and held our hand through the whole process without being overbearing and always keeping us updated at every stage. We were able to get through to him at all times and if we missed him he always returned our calls, even on weekends. Charles Stratton for us were wonderful agents, really made the service personal to us and we appreciated that so much since previously having a bad experience with another well known estate agent. Would recommend Charles Stratton and especially Andy as overall it was a 5 star service. Thank you Andy.
