GoogleUp to the point of meeting Simon, our perception of estate agents was a passive one - we understood them simply to be the intermediary between buyer and seller - nothing more; nothing less.
Oh, how Simon changed this view! We’d heard from a few people that Simon could not be matched in his knowledge, experience and charisma, and called him after previous chain collapses with other agents.
To our mind, there is no comparable estate agent or estate agency that can match Simon’s talents. Every piece of advice he gave us contributed to our STC house sale within a week of coming to market.
It was refreshing and reassuring to us that Simon’s help, advice and superlative wisdom continued well after we sold subject to contract.
This later evolved into Simon acting as a Buying Agent for us, which was the best decision we could have made. We genuinely believe that, had it not been for Simon, we would not currently be making plans to complete the purchase of what we believe is our forever home. As a Buying Agent, Simon worked incredibly hard to negotiate a mutually agreeable price. Equally, as our Estate Agent, he was simultaneously working to reassure and communicate updates with all invested parties in the chain.
As I write this, we’re still eagerly awaiting completion, for which we owe Simon our tremendous gratitude and appreciation. I cannot think of enough adjectives to describe Simon’s abilities - he truly does showcase Estate Agency as a craft, for which we really do now recognise.
We cannot recommend Simon highly enough, both as an Estate Agent and as a Buying Agent - above and beyond in every which way!

GoogleSimon did an incredible job. The outstanding marketing attracted plenty of interest and after considerable negotiations, an excellent offer. But that was where his work began! There were considerable challenges with the conveyancing process which Simon dealt with extremely skilfully - including actually personally driving the signed contracts directly to the buyers' solicitors to avoid delay! His consistent communication was equally impressive, keeping me constantly updated on the progress of the sale. HIGHLY recommended.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleI instantly warmed to her as she understood our needs,from that very first meeting that the property in question was not for us.
Unlike other estate agents I had met she took the time to understand what I wanted from a home and what I didn't. Not only my requirements but also as a family. We stayed in touch regularly and she kept her word. She didn't arrange unnecessary viewings and kept faith, when sometimes I had lost. Fast forward Alia delivered on her promise made.
It wasn't an easy chain to say the least and perhaps one of her most challenging. But she worked tirelessly and when many parties within the chain lost hope and wanted to pull out.....Alia came to the rescue. She never lost sight of everyone's goals and remained determined.
She is more than a estate agent.
She listens
She cares
She delivers
Would I use her services again......without hesitation.
Thank you Alia.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe had asked Alia in just to give us a rough estimate on our house as we wanted to sell it soon. But she surprised us by actually having a ready willing buyer and we essentially had it sold off market in 24 hours.
It was all bit unexpected but a fantastic outcome I would never have believed possible.
She is extremely approachable and never stops working hard for her clients. Easy to get hold of and always pleasant and helpful.
We are still in the middle of the process but it is so much easier knowing Alia is in control and can step in to advise and assist.
I would 100% recommend her without hesitation!
She is a superstar.

GoogleAlia choreographed a 4 house chain with a multitude of unusual circumstances fantastically well despite the multitude of obscure obstacles that would have derailed most completions.
Apart from the house I was purchasing,, she dealt with the sales and purchases of all the others in the chain. She was in constant touch with all of us,, alongside the solicitors, the estate agents and other agencies involved.
The sales would not have gone through without her. Amazingly brilliant.
I would definitely recommend her.
Other estate agents may “ talk the talk” but Alia“walks the walk”. And in the most graceful way I have ever seen.
Brilliant. Worth her weight in gold. Thank you Alia.

GoogleIf Carlsberg did Estate Agents - Simon Bradbury would “probably be the best Estate Agent in the world”.
After being unable to sell my fathers flat since June I moved over to Simon at the end of December and the flat was sold (in a very restricted market over 55”s ) within 6 weeks.
Simon is a breath or fresh air to deal with, an excellent communicator every step of the way who treats his job as a vocation providing a great customer experience.
Never comes across an estate agent like Simon before (in a good way 😊).

Nothing is ever too much trouble, and everything is handled efficiently. His communication is always prompt and clear, and he’s provided us with brilliant photos and a video of the property.

★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleAfter unsuccessfully putting our house on the market twice in the recent past and missing out on two houses, we were a little cautious about trying again when our perfect house came on the market.
But with Simon at the helm we couldn’t fail! He completely understood our particular situation and took on board our concerns, while providing constructive, honest feedback. His knowledge and experience is second to none - proven by the fact that we got 6 viewings booked within a few hours of our house going on the market, and that was before we’d even had our photos taken.
We sold (still without photos) and secured the home that we had fallen in love with (also with Simon’s help) within a few days. Ever the professional, Simon still got the full photo/video/360 tour package for the house we are selling - and it looks amazing!
If you want to sell your home, I can’t recommend Simon Bradbury enough!

GoogleWe cannot recommend Simon highly enough. From first contact, when we hadn’t even been actively looking but had fallen in love with a house, he moved incredibly quickly to get our property sold and was instrumental in pulling the chain together so we could proceed. Simon always had a plan B (and C) to keep things moving.
The marketing was outstanding, the photos and video made our home look fantastic (we wanted to buy it ourselves!). Communication was consistently excellent; we always felt he was working hard on our behalf to achieve the best outcome. It was a vastly better experience than previous sales we’ve had with other agents.
