GoogleHannah is amazing, I literally walked into Connells said id like to rent my house out and the next thing i knew i had tenants. Hannah took care of all the viewings, contracts, even sorted out my insurance for me. Being a new landlord, i knew nothing, i knew its risky if not done properly, but i trusted Hannah 100% and she delivered, everyone said be careful with the process but with Hannah i didnt have to bat an eyelid, and im covered on all ends! Really happy with the service, i mean i did pay for it, but for the peace of mind, it was well worth it!

GoogleOlivia has been brilliant throughout the whole process of buying our first home. From the start, she was kind, helpful, and always open to our concerns. She showed us around multiple times without hesitation and really supported us through what turned out to be a complex Modern Method of Auction (MMOA) purchase. Weβre due to get the keys in a few days, and weβre so grateful for all her help. Thank you Olivia!

GoogleFrom my initial enquiry, to collecting the keys to enter my new rental property, working with Anna from Connell's of Shaftesbury has been an absolute delight! In just under a week, everything was ready for a move-in. Anna's communication was timely, responsive, and every step of the way was a display of pleasantness and professionalism. Never have I rented with such ease and peace of mind; it was a seamless, stress-free process. I would give the experience 100 stars, if I could. Absolutely perfect.

GoogleArranged to view a property in Shaftesbury. Was rang several times by the agent to confirm the viewing, the last call being one hour before viewing was taking place. We drove all the way from Salisbury, was then contacted 10 minutes before viewing was taking place, to be told it no longer was because someone had driven off with the key.

GoogleDarryl was really helpful from start to finish. Always available on the phone or email. Only thing to not make it 5* was we were being contacted regularly instead of speaking to our sales agent who was meant to be the point of contact, which did mean we were getting regularly contacted instead of them. But the sale and purchase went through as quickly as it could so all in all pretty happy. Clearly knew the area really well so could personally recommend it to us.

GoogleIn searching for a rental flat, Nick from Connells Shaftesbury went above and beyond. He took on board everything we needed, didnβt let us take on a place that didnβt exactly meet our needs, and instead found our perfect home that was exactly what we were looking for! Beyond all this, he guided us, explained every step in the process so we felt at ease, and did all this with an incredible humour that made a stressful situation incredibly enjoyable. Nick, we couldnβt be happier with our new home! Thank you for everything!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleVery pleased with Darryl Norris in particular and her team from the Shaftsbury office in general. As a Trustee of the sale of my father's property we had given the sale to a local estate agents in November and by June had no result and lots of excuses. So, we switched to a national chain using this office under Darryl with national as well as local advertising and this is what happened:-
Instructed on the 21st June
Launched on the 29th June
SSTC on the 4th July
Exchanged on the 16th August
Completed 23rd August

GoogleI would like to highly recommend Connell Estate Agents in Shaftesbury in particular Kyle and Darryl for the hard work and professional way they responded to ensure a swift completion of the property we purchased from them recently within a 3 week timescale.
Yes we were cash buyers and the property was vacant, however due to the co-operation of Connells in partnership with our solicitorβs, the short completion timescale was achieved

GoogleKyle and his team were awesome. We switched selling agents after Kyle showed us another house (that we ended up buying) and we were so greatful for the service we got. Kyle especially went above and beyond on more occasions than I can count, both during the selling buying stage, and through the exchange and completion.
Can't recommend them enough.
