GoogleBoth Lucina Sherlock and Shaun Baker went out if their way to assist me in all aspects. I was selling a property, however, I live in Canada and our system is totally different. I am a retired Air Hostess with Air Canada 35 years and I know the importance that you don’t get a second chance to make a first impression. Their Customer Service skills are above reproach. It was a huge comfort for me feeling that all was taken care of. I am very grateful to them as it was stressful for me wading into uncharted territory. I cannot say enough positive things about my entire experience.

GoogleWorst agency ever. Please don't buy or rent house through them. I rented and suffered. Poor communication and they will not give deposits back. Especially beware of Agent Nick.

GoogleBlooming amazing!!!! I initially called for some advice and spoke with Shaun, after giving some advice I was informed of some properties up for rent which viewing were arranged quickly. I viewed two properties with Shaun and he was presentable kind understanding of my situation and the contact was great. When I decided to wanted to go ahead with one of the properties I was walked through what I needed todo, even in Shaun’s holiday leave both Dan and Lorraine were brilliant in handling any queries I had, on both occasions when I needed to pop in to sign forms I was allowed to take my dog in also. I have now gotten my keys and move in today!!!!!! Amazing service, amazing staff and an amazing experience all made easy. Thank you all for all your hard work in making my experience a positive one.

GoogleNot impressed by the service the lack of communication between the staff members is so unprofessional took 3 months to sort out a silly issue after numerous phone calls which literally took Lorraine 5 minutes to sort out today and clear up. so many issues with the flat noting mould being painted over blown kitchen window trip hazard in the kitchen bulbs blown rodent problems cracked tiles in the bathroom toliet leaking and more and yet after all that they still kept the whole deposit for manetince work due to having to give up the flat for unforseen circumstances even tho left the flat in a better state than when I moved in if you're looking at renting I'd highly recommend going elsewheree save your self the stress and money and also If only Lorraine was there from the start, I don't think any of this would have happened.

GoogleIt didn't take long to get an offer on our flat. Jane did the valuation of our home and was very knowledgeable and friendly. Later as our sale progressed. Lucina and Donna were very helpful chasing our solicitors who were particularly slow and difficult to deal with. They were very patient with us and we felt supported by them. At some points we felt Lucina and Donna went above and beyond to help us.

GoogleWe needed to move due to changes in our landlord circumstances. From the first contact through our mother in law via Katie the process has been good. Katie was really helpful and contacted us with a property that suited the next day. After viewing a property what had just come on the market, she was able to take us through the application process quickly and efficiently. What has been really good is that she helped us with our queries in a prompt manner and has gone out of her way to help the application proceed smoothly. Through her professionalism and persistence yet friendly approach, she was able to push through for our desired move date and secure the keys from the landlord for the Saturday. So within a week of starting the process, she has helped us secure a new place.
Thank you Katie and the team. Looking forward to our new tenancy with Bairstow Southend.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleWhat a team Lucina and Donna are and everyone else who is in that team, from start to finish they were on the ball and answered any question I had and went above and beyond in helping me with my move, they got back to my emails almost straight away, I didn’t have to wait more tha. 15 minutes and that’s impressive with how busy the housing market is at the moment, if I called and they were on another call they would get back to me as quick as they could, if anything they were chasing me for what I needed to do, if it wasn’t for them I don’t think my move would have gone through as I had a few complications but Lucina and Donna were on hand every time with help and advice and I’m so thankful to them both. I honestly believe if I had gone with any other estate agents I would still be in the same place, I’m so glad I picked them.
You are both brilliant and so good at what you do I was totally impressed by your level of knowledge and professionalism in how you carried out your work and helping through every step of the way
Thank you so much Lucina and Donna for all your help and thank you to whoever else chipped in with getting my move completed, keep up the good work
