View Agents BuyerFirst time buyers in Walton
As first time buyers we looked at a lot of properties in the area before settling on our new home. We met Jake Wood from Curchods, Walton to view this property and he showed us round giving as much information as he could, including about the sellers situation and the market in general. Anything he didn't have to hand he found out very quickly and let us know the following day.
We were told "Remember the agent is working for the seller not for you", but must say Jake never put any pressure on us to make quick decisions or dress things up in a way that clearly wasn't quite right, unlike some agents we encountered. He was more than happy for us to look at the property a number of times and we never felt like we were inconveniencing him (again, unlike some others).
As such we felt very comfortable with him from the start of the process. Once we decided to make an offer he was very quick in liaising with the seller and offered his advice as we went through the process of subsequent offers. Again at no point did we feel any pressure on us from him and in the end we got a very good deal with his help.
We were recommended a surveyor by him and after talking to a number of different companies for quotes etc decided to go with them. They were also excellent, very prompt and thorough which helped cement our trust that Jake was looking out for us as well as the seller.
Throughout the process he was on hand any time for questions etc we had as first time buyers which was greatly appreciated, not least when we experienced big problems with our solicitors and had to change, he kept us calm when we started to think it might go wrong at that point!
We completed on Monday and are so pleased with our new home. We were told buying a house would be one of the most stressful things we ever did but that was kept to a minimum in no small part thanks to Jake's professionalism, friendliness and availability.
I should also add that whenever we spoke to anyone else in the office they were very friendly and would help if they could. Messages were always passed on and responded to very quickly. Would thoroughly recommend!

View Agents BuyerA masterclass Agent
On the hunt for a property over the last few months, I’ve spoken to tens of estate agents. Curchods stood out as a masterclass agent. As a first-time buyer committing quite a substantial sum, I have had a great amount of questions. Jake @ Curchods Walton-on-Thames office has been tremendously helpful by easing the WHOLE process to exchange of contracts. To put it simply, Jake was there ALL THE WAY. A big thank you for his patience & time.
I would recommend this company for anyone in search for a property

View Agents BuyerOur First House - What A Service!
As this was our first purchase we had plenty of questions and concerns, all of which Jake at Curchods answered quickly and in simple terms. The team at Curchods in Walton made the whole process easy and very straight forward. I would say the most positive part of the whole experience was how Jake was proactive in contacting us with updates and always easy to get hold of.
I would strongly suggest Curchods in Walton and especially Jake for his professional, dedicated and friendly manner.
Thanks Again!

View Agents BuyerJake Wood - Communication Skills of a God
I couldn't have been more impressed with Jake. From the viewing on a Friday evening which made him late for a night out with his mates, to keeping me informed throughout the process. Constantly available, even on his holiday. He is clearly and all round top guy, really easy get on with and very knowledgeable. As a Director at a well known estate agency in London myself, I'd like to say I'm a good judge...I haven't seen many better than this guy. One to watch.

View Agents BuyerExcellent performance both in securing a buyer and managing difficult chain
I was very impressed with Curchods. We were in a dual agency arrangement initially and the quality buyers/qualified leads were from Curchods. This was important to us as viewings are very disruptive for our children, one with special needs. Curchods were considerate of this whereas we felt the other agent was just sending anyone whether they could afford the price or not. Curchods worked to OUR objectives - to get a solid, realistic offer from a proceedable buyer and were very good at managing our expectations during this time.
We quickly moved to a sole agent basis with Curchods who remained patient in a tough market and stayed the course in terms of properly qualified viewings..
Perhaps more impressive was the management of a long chain which lost links in the chain on two occasions due to outside influences (e.g. a comedy overreaction from a 1st time buyer due to the Brexit vote). However, they kept it together, replaced the links quickly and communicated well throughout.
Finally, it is worth noting that although we had a named contact looking after us, it was nice that several others were able to deal with our queries and handle matters if our named contact was out.
So in conclusion, we highly recommend them. If you judge Estate Agents by numbers of viewings through the door, they will not come out top. Neither should they. If you judge Estate Agents by legitimate, qualified viewings and getting solid offers to completion, go with Curchods. They will get you the right deal and get it over the line.

View Agents BuyerCurchods Walton-on-Thames, Graham South
Graham delivered on time and kept to his word. Always willing to share his opinion, I felt he went above and beyond to help both buyer and seller. At times, perhaps a little more diplomacy would have got a more favourable result from certain parties associated with the sale, however I am confident that his ability to be direct and to the point was a factor in getting the deal done so quickly. Credit to him and the rest of the Curchods team for their work.

View Agents BuyerVery good service.
I have been in the process of buying a house through this branch and have been dealing with Jake Woods. I have nothing but praise for Jake. He has kept me appraised of all developments throughout and has been very helpful and understanding with my ignorance of the house buying process.
I genuinely feel that Jake has made this purchase smoother and easier for me and wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use him and this company again.

View Agents BuyerPurchase of Flat 1 101 Ashley Road
I would like to personally commend Jake Wood of Curchods in Walton for his outstanding support and professionalism. Not only did he cover every aspect of the purchase of my property, keeping me informed at all times, but also gave me more confidence than both my estate agent and solicitor at what was an extremely stressful time. He calmly supported me in what was a tricky chain, the benefit of which cannot be overestimated. .

View Agents BuyerHouse purchase review - Pear Trees
We bought a house from the Walton branch of Curchods, the communication was very good throughout, they were bold and ambitious with the initial chain and equally were tough when the chain started to flex. We always felt in safe hands and I wouldn't hesitate to reccommend the branch.

We are really lucky to use Curchods to find the house that we love, even though it took us a long time, but we never get any impatience or coldness, on the contrary, we are always welcomed.
