Excellent service from the initial contact, the arranging of photos and the online brochure. Also brilliantly managed block viewings of our property-for-sale. I am sure this level of service will take us to our completion of sale with minimum hassle!

We have recently sold a property at auction, having never used this method of sale we were a bit apprehensive, Abigail from Shipways Shirley branch explained the whole process putting us at ease. Abigail has excellent communication skills, very quick responses to all our questions ending with a stress free great result.

WASTE OF TIME
asked to view a property and was told they would arrange and let me know . I was the asked to register my details which i did. Then asked if i would like a valuation on my property which i declined as another agent was dealing with my sale. Never got a viewing and never contacted again WASTE OF TIME

Shipways Shirley don’t do their job properly then when their shortcomings are picked up on they just lie lie lie their way out of everything. Will never use this shambles of an organisation again and would strongly recommend that no one else makes the mistake of using them that we have!

Do not use these estate agents
Do not use these estate agents, have no idea what they are doing, poor quality photos, descriptions, and plans. Our property as on an off the website all the time false promises with valuations, open days and viewings which has now caused us to lose our new home purchase.

Had the Pleasure of working with Andrea with the purchase of me and my wife’s new home. She provided excellent service, was well mannered and very informative. Very surprised she’s only been working there for such a short time. Can’t recommend a better Estate agent!

I can't speak highly enough of both Demi and Ricky, both are really professional and really does help you with buying your first house, even though there were minor bumps along the way which wasn't shipways fault in anyway, they was still there at the end of the phone or email.PositiveProfessionalism

My parents' property has just sold really smoothly and (I'm told) quickly with Shipway's help. I've been away from Shirley for many years now, but concerns over complications soon went away thanks to the Team's attentive service and clear communication. Many thanks to everyone I dealt with.

Landlords avoid this cowboy outfit.
Tenants wrecked an immaculate house. Inventory £190 for check-in and check-out so I thought Shitways should know. They couldn't care a F.... Had to chase and chase to get the check-out report. Deposit, I need to get the tenants agreement or go to court. Read clause 1.9.

They have an agent that is totally unprofessional.

Tip for sellers
They are refusing to submit offers to vendors if the prospective buyer doesn't go through their own mortgage advisors. So just the king about withdrawing an offer on a property. If you struggle to sell that's why....
