GoogleExcellent support and service with the process of choosing and purchasing our new apartment in Swanage. Exceptionally kindness and patience every step of the way, and even help with connecting us with local professionals regarding upgrading after moving in.

GoogleOver a number of years, my family and I have purchased and sold our homes in Swanage through Corbens. I think the first impressions that one receives when entering a business relationship with Corbens is that of competence, security and fairness. There is a strong and reassuring sense of family, stability and continuity, while industry and local knowledge are unbeatable. One always feels valued and respected as a client or customer and communications have always been great, timely and appropriate. The team clearly operate as a unit with a friendly and professional ethic and one has a clear sense of a connecting thread from the reception desk to the Top Chair. Most importantly the whole team seems to work on the principle of problem solving, on not treating questions as problems. This is most important. I exited my last purchasing experience in complete satisfaction and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Corbens for anyone wishing to purchase or sell.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleCorbens were a pleasure to deal with. Their level of communication from start to finish was outstanding. They were extremely accommodating when arranging viewings. There was always somebody competent available to speak to me on the phone who understood my particular transaction. If no one was available they always returned calls in a timely manner. Would highly recommend.

GoogleWe viewed a property and was told it was going to go to best offers, we made our best offer and was told there was 6 other offers and all similar... we was then asked to make our best and FINAL offer which we did (same offer) I then got a call and said offer wasn't the highest but they would like to accept... 3 weeks later one of the six had made another offer and got a call asking if we would match, initial said no then spoke to my wife and decided to match. we was then asked to make our best and final offer again as both offers where the same... I believe the process was not run professionally and a best and final offer should be that. not have more than 1 best and final offer stage. BE AWARE with dealing with Corbens we haven't had the best experience.

We are sorry you are upset that your offer not being accepted. We were instructed by a firm of solicitors who have Power of Attorney for the owner who is in a care home. When first marketed we asked for best offers and yours was the one accepted by the solicitors as, although it was not the highest, you had nothing to sell, and once agreed, the property was withdrawn from the market. After 3 weeks we received a written offer from one of the original bidders and we have a legal duty to forward any offers onto the sellers, even if the property is SSTC. The solicitors, acting as POA have a duty of care to their client and it was their decision, not ours, to ask for yourself and the other applicants to put your best and final offers to be submitted to them and they then made the decision to accept the highest offer. The solicitors informed us that if they had not acted in this manner they could have been sued and also reported to the Law Society for not protecting their client's interests.

GoogleWe are experienced landlords with over 350 properties throughout the UK, and deal with local estate agents almost daily. We instructed Corbens to let out a local commercial property of ours, as we are based in London. They were unable to find a tenant in 18 months. Their rent valuation estimates were unrealistic (obviously, after 18 months of 'trying'), and inflated to gain our business.
They were generally unhelpful and unresponsive for the duration.
I certainly do not wish for anyone to go through the same awful service we did, and therefore cannot urge you enough to use someone else for your property needs.
Also, if you look at the other reviews, they are clearly never actual customers of this business. Please avoid.

GoogleIt was a great pleasure to buy through Corben's. They were very accomodating with viewings in difficult times, kept us in the loop at all stages, and were always very clear, friendly, and professional. A breath of fresh air, compared with our own agent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Corben's.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

GoogleCorbens were a pleasure to deal with. I could see how well they looked after the vendors needs and how well they communicated with both us as buyers and the seller. They were always available to explain things in more detail or to arrange additional visits. Corbens helped us communicate with solicitors, surveyors and other tradesmen. Due to the efficiency, attention to detail and professionalism of this estate agent, our purchase of our home went as smoothly and quickly as we could have hoped for. I would thoroughly recommend Corbens to anyone looking to sell or buy in the local area.

GoogleYes it's true. I am writing a review about an estate agent, a very professional and helpful estate agent. In fact, it's one of the best estate agent's I've ever used.
All of the staff are helpful and knowledgeable (local area, property and what's available). It was a pleasure to buy a property though Corbens.
They were also the most helpful agents in the local areas when I was looking for my property, so thank you.

Matt · 5 July 2020
★★★★★ 5/5
GoogleWe had several agents come to our house and Corbens valued it the highest. We were optimistic but within 2 weeks of advertising our house it was sale agreed.
The solicitors took over and the whole process was complete from start to finish in 9 weeks.
During the process staff at Corbens were helpful and informative.
Moving house is stressful for many reasons but with the expertise the process was nowhere near the stress that was expected with moving.
Our house was advertised to a high standard with professional photos and a video tour giving potential buyers a real insight into the property which avoided any viewings that potentially could have been a waste of time.
Would recommend Corbens to people thinking of selling even if it’s just for some idea of the process and valuation. Their local knowledge and their insight into the current market is reassuring in making the big decision as to whether to take the leap of selling and buying.

GoogleThe staff were extremely friendly and helpful when I was selling a property on behalf of my mother. They were sensitive to the situation and did everything in supporting the sale to go through as quickly as possible. They kept on schedule with all appointments and always called back if they had missed a call from me. I really appreciated the friendly greeting that met me when walking into the agency. I would highly recommend their services.
