Thank you to the Home of Leigh team

Back in January 2026, my brother and I had the sad task of selling my parent's property in Leigh after they passed away. The house and grounds needed quite a bit of work, something that neither of us had the time nor funds to do, but the property benefitted from it's location in the West Leigh catchment area. We had a number of estate agents in to give us their valuations and opinions and they varied widely. We were in no rush to sell, and eventually chose the team from Home of Leigh to market the property on our behalf. They told us their price and we both found it to be very reasonable, without any hidden costs. We let them take care of viewings and we were always advised in good time, by the team, when viewers would be looking at the property. After numerous viewings, and one or two time wasters, a sale was eventually agreed in mid April. We were regularly updated as to how the buyers in the chain were faring and contracts were eventually exchanged in August 2026. Thank you, Home of Leigh, for making this sad task easy for us.

Dan Smith and the team @Home of Leigh sold our house last year. We are very thankful to have had Dan as the senior agent leading the team on what was a less than straightforward transaction. Dan is clearly a hugely experienced and professional estate agent who did an outstanding job of supporting and advising us throughout. Whilst Dan clearly had the support of a great team behind him (a special ‘mention in dispatches’ for Lucy whose skills as a drone pilot and videographer were outstanding) it was Dan’s professionalism, pragmatism, experience, and never give up determination that saw us all through. We have no doubt the whole process would have been infinitely more stressful without his close management and wise counsel during our sale. Importantly, we found Dan and the members of the team that we interacted with all demonstrated really great behaviours. In fact, this was an outstanding job by Dan and the whole team at Home. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Dan and Home of Leigh. Fabulous job guys, thank you! All the best, Paul & Natalie Barnes

If you live in the Southend catchment area, do notlook any further than Homes of Leigh to sell your house. We recently sold our family home in Westcliff. We initially put our house up for sale in summer with another well known Essex estate agent. The experience was awful! The agent cancelled viewings without us knowing, failed to attend viewings leaving us to conduct viewings by ourselves, and repeatedly asked us to drop the sale price of our house. We spoke to friends and family about our experience and many took the stereotypical view of "all estate agents are awful". How wrong we were!! We decided to choose another local estate agent so contacted Homes of Leigh. In stepped senior valuer Tom Lambert! Tom apologised for the negative experience we had with the other estate agent and got right to work. Through the failings of the previous agent, Tom immediately secured a buyer for our home with a welcome bonus of £10,000 more than the asking price. This was £25,000 more than the previous agent wanted us to reduce our property to. Tom regularly updated me on the progress of the sale and the process was genuinely effortless and personal. From the moment we chose Homes of Leigh, we knew we had made the right decision. From the simple weekly Friday updates, to quality assurance callbacks. All the staff we spoke to were absolutely outstanding. We cannot thank Tom enough for his hard work and diligence throughout the entire process. Tom made it absolutely effortless and promoted a brilliantly transparent relationship. I have several friends who are potentially looking at selling their property in 2024. I have recommended for them to all contact Home and ask for Tom. Thank you Tom!

Fabulous service yet again from Home of Leigh, this time on the sale of our flat, during a difficult time to be selling - special mention of Maria who kept us regularly up to date, provided good guidance and never gave up in finding us a buyer! The whole team at Home did a great job and are super professional - thoroughly recommend.

From start to finish Home have been amazing! From keeping me calm when things became tricky to keeping me updated. The staff were amazing, from Kyran, Elliot, Sue and Linda. They weren't fazed by my millions of panic emails. I would definitely recommend Home for the relaxed, reassuring and friendly feel in selling. Awesome!

Really big thank you to Home for selling my flat, they have been brilliant throughout the whole process. Tom was the first person I met on the Team, he is so friendly and made me feel completely at ease with what felt like a really daunting process. He took fantastic photos and did a really good job at marketing my property. He has always been quick to respond to my queries and provide reassurance, I explained to him I had a really tight deadline I needed to sell by and he really went above and beyond to make it happen. Kyran, was really friendly and approachable, he organised the viewings and always kept me updated with any feedback. Chloe on the sales progression team was amazing, she made sure to chase the solicitors and the buyer to really push to get our sale through as quickly as possible within our tight deadline. I’d definitely recommend them and I would go to them in the future when I’m next looking to buy a property. Thank you again!

My experience with selling my property through Home has been fantastic. I could not recommend the team more and I am so grateful for all of the help and guidance they have provided us over the past few months. Chloe, Sue, Elliot, Kyran and Nathan (and everyone we have worked with) have exceeded our expectations throughout the process. Thank you so much.

Home have been the most helpful and supportive agents throughout the entirety of my sale. They kept me updated with feedback from viewings and advice on how to best market my property. Not only did they secure me the best buyer and price for my property they ensured the sale went as smoothly as possible. The sales progression team are incredible and were able to keep pushing to get the sale through & liaise with some rather rubbish solicitors to hold the chain together. I would recommend the Sales & Sales progression team here and will never sell through anyone else! In addition the Lettings team were amazing at managing my property when it was rented prior to selling. They were so supportive during the sale to ensure my tenant left on time and that the property was returned in good, clean condition! Thank you so much Lettings Team

My flat was sold in the first week with Home. I needed some remedial work to help with the sale quickly. Home provided me with all the necessary contacts and the work was carried out super fast and to a high standard. All the employees are a pleasure to deal with and make the whole process easier. Thank you Home

Fantastic service from start to finish! Ami, Sue, Mags and Tom were the main people that we dealt with from the Leigh branch and all were extremely helpful throughout this process. They were always quick to respond to queries and easy to contact throughout. Ami in particular really helped us and went above and beyond! This was the first time that we had sold and bought and there were plenty of obstacles along the way, but Home really supported us and did everything that they could to get it across the finish line. We can't thank them enough and would certainly look to use Home again!

This is the second time using Homes of Leigh and the team impressed me with their professionalism and support. It’s early days, having just sold my property subject to contract, but I know I live in a fantastic location and Lucy captured the essence of this with her video! And I must not forget Tom! He worked so hard and quickly to get my property to market. Thank you all and here’s too a stress free completion of sale 🙏 Melanie

Homes of Leigh have sold two properties for our family. We have a third needing advise, so we called again, yet again, it wasn’t too much trouble. Our reason for using Homes of Leigh, is obviously all the team, But! Tom Lambert is our main reason. From our first meeting some 5/6years ago, his honesty, genuine nature is the main reason we’ve gone back again. He follows things through & you never ever feel like a problem, he’s always happy to advise. As for the rest of the team! They are amazing, communication is key, friendly, always at the end of the phone, efficient & again, honest. We honestly cannot recommend them enough…. Thanks to you all x

Home Estates were excellent. It took over a year to find the right house for me but they managed to secure it for me. Daniel and Emma were both fantastic in showing me the viewings and I’m very grateful to both of them. At the end it was Home who were the ones who kept me updated on completion day and even gave me a beautiful candle and key ring! Thank you to the whole team for finding me my forever home.

Not our estate agent but were very helpful and accommodating arranging viewings for us. As well as our own agents, Home also kept us as the buyer updated regularly and the staff were always pleasant and friendly.

Great from start to finish. Excellent marketing/photography and strong support (Linda) in the latter stages of the transaction. If I'm buying or selling in this area in the future, Home will be my first call.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from Home estate agents. Chloe in sales progression was incredibly professional, kept me updated every step of the way. If you want a proactive agent who gets results, look no further. Thank you once again Chloe & team Kind regards Alison Hutchins

We completed on the sale of our property through Home last week and have been very happy with the service provided by Home. We would happily use again / recommend to others. Ami was brilliant throughout; Tom's valuation and plan for sale was bang on and meant we got a great price; the marketing materials and video were great; Emma was really good at doing the viewings and the sales progression team were persistent in chasing to get the exchange over the line. Thanks all at Home! Will + Ellis Holt

Buying a house in this climate can be soul destroying!!! It's so competitive and there just are not enough houses to meet the demand in Leigh. BUT when we have viewings with Home (Emma!!) coming up it feels like an absolute breath of fresh air. She understands exactly who she’s talking to and what they need. She’s honest and real, and is the ONLY estate agent we went on viewings with who genuinely cared about making sure we found the right home for us. It did not feel like another generic hard sell. I even said to my partner once, “its ok, today’s viewings are with Emma, so they won’t be painful!!”. Nina and Sam in the office have also been lovely to deal with and make the time to give us regular updates even when the process of buying is (unavoidably) a little slow. Big thanks to Emma & the Home team :) P.S. I never write Google reviews, but after some truly awful experiences with other agents, it felt like this was necessary!

Very grateful for the support Home provided whilst securing my tenancy. Big thanks to Christine and Hayley for ensuring it happened in good time, despite facing a tight turnaround, and keeping me up to date throughout the process. They really did go above and beyond to make sure it happened. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a reputable estate agents that makes moving that little bit easier (and enjoyable)!

What a team! From start to finish HOME have been amazing with the selling of Dads flat. Intervening where necessary and always calling me back and keeping us informed. I have bought and sold a few times using them and the service has always been excellent. Can't thank you all enough. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
