We recently bought our house through British Home Sellers, and I can’t recommend them enough. Alex was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process. He kept me updated every step of the way, answered all of my questions, and was always my first point of contact whenever I needed anything. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he really helped make what can be a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. I would definitely recommend British Home Sellers to anyone looking to sell their home. Thank you so much for everything! Chelsea

House purchase

British Home sellers were great! Fallon kept in touch with us more than our solicitors did! I would recommend them to anyone! In the future, I would use them to sell our house!

So disappointing

Their marketing states that ‘On average we are securing offers within 2 to 4 weeks’ and that they have ‘buyers ready and waiting to buy properties’. Sounds too good to be true - and that’s because, in my experience, it is. They haven’t managed to secure a single viewing in three months, let alone an offer. I understand the market is very tough but the truth is that other flats in our block have had viewings - and they’re on at a higher price. Something has clearly gone wrong and BH simply aren’t doing enough to sell. I have lost confidence in them and feel mad that time with BH has been wasted. Much better to stick with a proper high street estate agent.

Dear Mrs Bates, We’re really sorry we haven’t met expectations in this case. Over the 8 weeks we’ve been marketing the property, we’ve unfortunately struggled to secure the level of traction we would normally expect. As you mentioned, there are currently two other one-bedroom flats within the building which you shared have received viewings. However, neither has successfully sold, with one having been reduced four months ago and another having been on the market for around 10 months. More broadly, within a quarter of a mile, the majority (83%) of one-bedroom apartments currently on the market also remain unsold. Those that have sold, did so prior to the recent Middle East conflict and resulting market uncertainty. Unfortunately, the market for properties of this type has become increasingly challenging in recent weeks, particularly following wider economic uncertainty and market shifts, which appear to have impacted buyer confidence locally. We completely understand how frustrating this is when trying to sell your property, and we’re genuinely sorry we’ve fallen short of the expectations created by our marketing and the results we would normally aim to achieve. As discussed with you directly, given the lack of progress, we agreed at your request to stop marketing earlier than originally planned. We do sincerely wish you all the very best with your future sale. Kind regards, The British Homesellers Team

BHS were exceptionally informative and supportive through out the whole process of purchasing our new home. Molly Ewan and Charles Gale were especially good. Molly explained everything very carefully and patiently. Charles was on the phone updating us at every juncture and was always positive, encouraging and supportive. I am genuinely grateful and really appreciative of their help. Thanks both for making our purchase and successful and positive experience.

Very good service on purchase

Overall our experience with BHS was very good. Initially we had a few issues contacting the person looking after the property when trying to make offers and deal with the initial price negotiations but once Alex took over the process during the later stages he was very much a driving force of getting the purchase over the line, keeping us in the loop and being the go between with ourselves and all other parties.

Misleading service charge information

The staff were helpful, responsive, and communicative throughout the process, which I appreciated. However, the service charge was presented significantly lower than it actually was, the true figure turned out to be nearly 40% higher once official documents were reviewed. This is a material detail that should have been verified or clearly caveated in line with the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. It suggests that information provided by sellers is not adequately checked before listing. As a result, I lost time and incurred unnecessary costs before discovering information that directly impacted my decision to proceed. Overall, a positive interaction with staff, but a lack of due diligence on key information.

Customer · 1 April 2026

Agent replied · 11 October 2026

I’m really pleased to hear that you found our team helpful, responsive, and communicative throughout, that’s exactly the level of service we aim to provide. I’m very sorry, however, to hear about your experience regarding the service charge. We fully appreciate how important this information is when making a purchasing decision, and I understand how frustrating it must have been to discover a discrepancy later in the process. For clarity, service charge figures are typically provided by the seller or managing agent at the point of listing, and in some cases can only be formally verified once the legal documentation is reviewed. That said, we absolutely take your comments seriously and agree that where there is any uncertainty, this should be clearly caveated upfront. We would never intentionally misrepresent any property information, and we would really like the opportunity to investigate this specific case further to understand exactly what happened and whether anything could have been handled differently. As your review is listed under “customer,” we’re unfortunately unable to identify the transaction. If you’re happy to do so, please email us at enquiries@britishhomesellers.co.uk with the property details, and we’ll look into this for you as a priority. Kind regards, British Homesellers

Attentive & good communication

Wasn't familiar with the company, but they were very attentive and provided good communication. Dealt with a range of people through out the different stages of purchasing, all with good customer service. Provided updates throughout the sale. Wasn't very happy with having to pay a 2 thousand pound deposit to "secure" the offer. The company was understanding and we found a solution that worked for all parties.

Always very polite to talk to but after a while you realise they are just talking in generalities. They cannot promise any time frames. All phone calls lead to a message service. Very hard to get through to a person. We've done all our own viewings but not given feedback. Currently waiting for a viewing that hasn't turned up. No answer from any one at British home sellers. We have been with them for almost 3 months. We expected to be sold within 6 weeks

Lucy · 14 March 2026

Agent replied · 16 April 2026

Hi Lucy, Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to speak with me earlier today. Firstly, I’m genuinely sorry for the frustration caused on Saturday regarding the missed viewing. We completely understand how disappointing it is to prepare for an appointment that doesn’t go ahead. For clarity, the buyer left a voicemail before our office opened explaining they were unable to attend due to flooding and road closures in the area. Our team returned contact shortly after opening at 10am, and I personally spoke with the buyer again this morning. They remain interested and are looking to rebook. That said, I appreciate that from your perspective, not being able to immediately speak to someone at 9am, when the viewing was scheduled, felt unacceptable, and that’s understandable. We are reviewing how we handle early weekend viewings to help prevent this situation in future. In terms of communication, we have remained in regular contact over the past few weeks, and I am always available directly should you need me. Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time. Regarding timeframes, I'm sorry this is taking longer than expected. Although we secure results quickly in the majority of cases. This instance has proved more challenging. We are encouraged that the property is generating viewings and will continue doing everything we can to convert that interest into a successful sale. We remain fully committed to achieving the right outcome for you and will keep you updated on the rebooking discussed. Hope you have a nice day. Will @ British Homesellers

Impressed with BHS

Moving house can be a stressful and complicated process to go through. I found BHS to be very helpful throughout. I spoke mainly with Robert, but also Charles, both of whom had a calm friendly manner and took the time to explain things when asked. I needn't have worried about BHS being an 'online' agent as they were very accessible over the phone. They always followed up on things when they said they would, can't fault them.

House purchase

We have purchased a house through British home sellers, although dubious at first due to never hearing of them before, they have been absolutely brilliant throughout our purchase. Being first time buyers the process was very new to us but Robert Love has been an absolute pleasure. He would always get back to you in a timely manner if the phone was unable to be answered at that time and would deal with anything quickly. Thankyou again 😊

Excellent service

From the day I spotted my perfect property, British Home Sellers has provided excellent service. From organising the viewing to completion. I was outbid on a property that I really wanted. A few weeks later Alex Clendon phoned me to say that the original purchasers had pulled out. I made another bid which was accepted. Alex was my point of contact throughout the purchasing process. He replies speedily to all enquiries, is very professional, cheerful and resolves all quiries without fuss. He kept me updated regulary at each stage of the process. He has contacted me since the purchase was completed to see if all is well. I cannot recommend Alex and British Home sellers highly enough. I would definitely use them again and would like to thank them for making the process run smoothly.

Had no issues with purchasing with British Homesellers, the process took longer than hoped but this was down to the seller themselves being in a more complex situation than we had realised, rather than anything that British Homesellers did. Fallon was helpful and professional whenever we had to contact her.

We recently purchased property through British Homesellers, at first we was very skeptical about them after it not being a well known name to myself!
