British Home Sellers have been a pleasure to deal with.
British Home Sellers have been fantastic from start to finish. Throughout the process of buying a property they advertised in West Sussex, they’ve always been quick to respond to any questions and kept me fully updated at every stage. Their friendly, professional approach made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and well supported. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone.”
Hi Karin, Thank you so much for your review and it was a pleasure working with you! I wish you all the very best with everything in the future and if we can ever help in the future then please never hesitate to get in touch Kind regards, Alex and the whole team

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.

Outstanding performance.
I am extremely satisfied with the outstanding service provided by British Homesellers during the purchase of my new home. From start to finish, they were supportive, professional, and attentive to every detail. Their team consistently demonstrated efficiency, ensuring that all processes were handled smoothly and on time, which made the entire experience stress free.
Hi Kemi, Thank you for such a lovely review, it was a real pleasure working with you and I wish all the best for you and your family moving forward Please never hesitate to get in touch if there is ever anything we can do to help in the future. Kind regards, Alex and the team

Completely disappointing
A real let down. Read all the rave reviews about how they would sell your property within 14 days. This is not the case.Almost all of the positive reviews are from buyers, not sellers. I had zero communication from the company once my property went live. I followed up after 2 weeks to ask if there had been any interest - I was told plenty of Rightmove clicks but no other interest. Two more weeks past, I had heard nothing again so I chased and was told the same as above. If I hadn’t had chased for updates each time I doubt I would have ever heard from them. All they do is list the property on Rightmove, yet charge much more than high street agents. There is no USP - no proactive marketing to investors or anything similar. You even have to do your own viewings and take your own photos. 30 days notice to terminate agreement is also higher than the average. Avoid!
Hi James, We're sorry about your experience and we never like falling short. As much as we will always try to get it right 100% of the time. Occasionally, we struggle to get results on a minority of properties. We want to learn what went wrong in this occasion, so please email enquiries@britishhomesellers.co.uk referencing this so we can identify you and look into what happened.Kind regards, British Homesellers

A generally smooth sale and purchase
Despite the difficulties caused by lockdown earlier this year, British Home Sellers managed to maintain my chain and complete the sale of my property. I found the process of signing up, determining the sale price and producing the marketing material smooth. British Home Sellers arranged a number of viewings in my case, and fairly soon after the marketing began, so I personally never had an issue with a lack of viewings. Communication as to when a viewing would take place was never a problem and the team kept me informed of people's feedback. Following the offer that led to completion of the sale, the case was taken forward by Charles Gale. Charles was polite, tactful and crucially highly responsive to my questions, and this was following a period of ill health he unfortunately went through. He was also excellent at managing my buyers, the sellers of the property I was purchasing (which was also sold by British Home Sellers) and the conveyancers in between. The only criticism I have is that once we reached the offer stage and Charles took over, the office started to struggle responding to my questions, e.g. if Charles was absent. I suspect that this may be because Charles would need to have answered those types of questions anyway but it does mean that without your main contact point, you can be left waiting for a bit for answers at the most stressful stage of the process.
Thank you for your review! We really appreciate your comments, and importantly your constructive criticism. We will certainly look to improve and better what we do :)Kind regards, British Homesellers Team

A breath of fresh air...
We viewed the house which was love at first sight! We called British Homesellers after the viewing and made our offer to Alex Clendon, he posed our offer to the vendors and within 45 minutes we received a call back stating our offer was accepted and that the property would be taken off the market. That is how quick and easy it was with British Homesellers! These guys are not like the majority of estate agents out there - we were fed up of offering our best offers to agents for them to keep coming back asking what is our best offer... that other offers have been received... or can I increase my offer etc etc! Alex was superb start to end, there was none of that from Alex and it's a shame that there aren't others more like him and British Homesellers in this sector. British Homesellers genuinely went above and beyond. We had issues with the conveyancing as our solicitors were not that great, but Charles went out of his way to communicate with my broker and solicitor to assist with the completion. There was constant communication from Alex and Charles whenever we emailed them, they were quick to respond by email and telephone and always kept me informed about the progress of the chain. Me and my wife felt that they genuinely cared about their clients and they proved that by the way they handled the whole process. Would recommend them 110%!
Dear Marzan,Many thanks for the glowing review. We're so pleased we were able to help your move into your new home and that all went so smoothly. Your kind words have been shared with the team who say you were a pleasure to work with.Wishing you all the best moving forward.Kind Regards,British Homesellers

This is the first time I've ever used…
This is the first time I've ever used British Home sellers. And out of all the agents I would rate them as 10. Mr Gale and his team have given personal reassurance and efficiently dealt with some difficult concerns. I have no hesitation in recommending them for any future house sale, buy to any of my friends. I am extremely satisfied with the service I was given although I can't say the same for the conveyancer team. Thank you very much. M A Davies
Dear Maddy,Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Glad we could help!Wishing you all the best in your future home.Kind Regards,British Homesellers

Having lost my husband 5years ago
Having lost my husband 5years ago, the time had come to downsize. I had never sold or bought a house on my own and thanks to the help and guidance from both my selling agent and the lovely Charles the move wasn’t as traumatic as I expected. Charles liaised with my agent and was excellent at keeping me updated with the buying process. He was always positive and answered any questions or queries quickly and professionally. 10 points and a gold star!

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! However after putting our trust in them, we were very well rewarded with a very lovely home at a very good price with our standing customer service through out working through all the hick ups along the way! Thank you Robert in particular!

British Homesellers did an amazing job for me. Special mention to Robert Love. I am a first time buyer and to say I am clueless in home buying is an understatement. Robert helped me in communicating and identifying what needs to be done from viewing to exchange. He always found the time to catch up with me and check in. I now have a new home.

We purchased our new forever home through British Homesellers. Who were professional, kind and understanding from beginning to end. Mr Robert Love was our Agent. Who was consistent throughout the 8 month journey. Communication was key to the purchase, which Robert maintained. I have no problem in recommending British Homesellers to future buyers and sellers. Thank you Robert We finally got to move into our forever home. Sally and Dave Nickelson

Sold my flat with British Homebuyers
Sold my flat with British Homebuyers after receiving after a letter through the post. The selling timescale I was informed of 2-4 weeks was double that and yes the fee charged was much larger than other competitors ( in fact over double).But you go into this agreement knowing the large selling fee and with eyes " wide open."I have to say the service I received was first class. Being kept informed at every stage of the process by William Gale and latterly Robert Love of British Homebuyers. All in all a more expensive service.... yes, But I found they provided a great service, in a professional and informative mannner. Thank you British Homebuyers.
Dear Mel,Thank you for your review and we are sorry the service took longer than expected. We're happy to see we got you a result and glad you found the service 'first class'. We will investigate this in detail to see how we can learn from the experience, to speed up and better what we do. Thank you & we all wish you the very best.Kind Regards,The British Homesellers Team

Excellent service would highly recommend,they make the process of buying a house very smooth. They as a team have excellent customer service. Alex Clendon was very knowledgeable and helpful in keeping myself informed with regards to the progress to completion. Alex was always available to answer my questions by direct phone call which is an excellent service and speeds the whole process up. I would highly recommend using British Homesellers.
