Balgores Incorporating Rona Wickford reviews

Sly and unprofessional staff at Balgores Estate Agents.

Some staff at Balgores Estate Agents in Dagenham are time wasters specially Femi Aladeokin. Although Alfie was genuine who showed me the property at 58 Rogers Road Dagenham. I made an offer on the property and was given the impression that the vendor most likely would accept this offer as it was the highest and that the property had been vacant for the past year due to probate order. I was informed by Alfie to send all my solicitors details as this would speed matters, which I did. The following day Femi Aladeokin came on the scene informing me that he is dealing with the property and Alfie was dealing on his behalf and that the vendor has refused my offer so I increased my offer and after five minutes Femi called me to say that my increased offer had been refused. I then increased my offer to the full asking price but I believe it was never conveyed to the vendor although I was a chain free and met the vendors requirements. Femi sent me a letter that evening via his admin team in which he only mentioned my first lower offer (and no mention of the higher offer) saying vendors non acceptance of the lower offer. When I called the next day I was kept on hold for long time and Femi did not have the courtesy to come to the phone and I was never informed if the vendor was ever conveyed my offer of the full asking price. Very sly and unprofessional behaviour of Femi Aladeokin i would not be recommending them to anyone. Avoid being served by Femi Aladeokin when dealing with Balgores estate agents in Dagenham.

I can highly recommend Balgores in…

I can highly recommend Balgores in Brentwood, both Joe H and Michael were an absolute pleasure to deal with and made the whole process so easy and straightforward.Our house had been placed with two other agents for months before we signed up with Balgores both of which cost us money up front yet we had an offer and subsequent sale on our house the very first weekend it was with Balgores with no charges at all until completion fees.They are not just any estate agents ....

RECOMENDING 110%

Recently sold and bought another house with Basildon Balgores. Amazing experience! It was not my first time to buy the house and I know how much hassle it can be, but dealing with Basildon Balgores was very easy and smooth. Sarah Okley is sales impactor, she is an amazing person to deal with. She work hard and chasing up both side when it needs to be to speed up the process. Nyall, the agent, get the house for me what I was looking for, for the right price, top man to deal with him as well! So 110% recommendations from my side if you want fast and smooth transactions.All the best for you guys! And thanks ones again!

5 star service from the lovely Joe…

5 star service from the lovely Joe Hayes at the Brentwood branch. He dealt with the sale of our property, and we ended up buying our new home from him too. He took all of the stress out of the equation and we honestly couldn’t be happier with how he dealt with both the sale and purchase so seamlessly. People say moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do, but thanks to Joe that hasn’t been the case for us. I would recommend the Balgore & Hayes team to anyone that is looking for a stress free sale or purchase, the communication was spot on throughout and we couldn’t be happier. THANK YOU JOE!!

Great Communication

I didn’t sell through Balgores Chelmsford. The property I purchased was. Sean and Sarah were excellent at communication with me through the process. I actually spoke to them more than my own Estate Agent or solicitor as I received a reply more promptly with reliable information. Sean called me when my new house came on the market as it matched what me and my family were looking for. So one of the best phone calls I have ever received. Would recommend Balgores Chelmsford

Very happy with the service

Very happy with the service in particular Allanah Buckroyd from Balgores Chelmsford.We had previously sold our property with another agent but our buyer pulled out close to exchange which would mean we would have to pull out from our onward purchase. We then instructed Balgores Chelmsford, Allanah and the team quickly arranged viewings and were able to secure a new buyer who could proceed quickly. We exchanged 3 weeks later!Balgores Sales Progressor (we had Sarah Oakley) was very responsive and kept on top of the proceedings.Fantastic Service!

Excellent Estate Agents

I can’t praise Balgores enough, especially Sarah Oakley and Allannah.My house didn’t even go on right move and sold for the asking price, I was happy I only had to show 3 couples round as my schedule is hectic and selling and buying is one of the most stressful things in life but Sarah made it so much less stressful than it should of been, she did all the chasing with solicitors, buyers and sellers..... I wouldn’t go to any other estate agent now..... just go to Balgores..... Best Estate Agent

Excellent service from Balgores!

Excellent service from Balgores when we wanted to purchase our first property. Thanks to Lucy Franklin our mortgage broker who helped us on our way to getting all the necessary paperwork we needed to get started. She was very friendly and professional and easy to work with and welcomed every inquiry we had and there was no silly question. We were then met by Balgores property consultant Josh Finch who was extremely helpful in helping us organise our viewings. He also endeavoured to allow a degree of flexibility to suit our busy schedules. Thanks to Sarah Oakley and Mackensie Walker who helped us through the final proceedings in co-ordinating everything we needed with our solicitor. They were very professional and worked in a timely manner to help speed things up for us due to the urgency of our situation. These are the right professionals you needed.We really can't thank you all enough and we look forward to working with you all again in the future. Lisa and Ike.

Henry at Loughton branch goes above and beyond!

Henry from the Loughton Branch has been exceptionally helpful in supporting both me and my husband whilst viewing a property that we might want to let in the Loughton area. He has been honest, trustworthy and ensured he has been available to us even out of office hours. He has listened to me ramble on about my personal concerns about the property and continues to try his best to put our minds at rest at each stage so far. We couldn't have asked for a better service. We have dealt with many estate agents in the past who have not gone above and beyond like Henry has - he has really stuck out as a good egg to us and even if we don't end up going for the property that he has shown us we know that he has done his best to make us feel at ease.

Thank you Joe Hayes @Balgores for selling our house so quickly and so efficiently too. Brilliant service and communication all of the time and a real pleasure to use as he is always at the end of the phone and more than happy to chase people up. I would unreservedly recommend Balgores to anyone as I have used them a few times now and they have never let me down and they are the ultimate professionals. Awesome job well done!

Excellent communication, great service.

We have recently sold our home through Balgores. We have been highly impressed by the team and their support. In particular Joe and Michael who have always been very easy to contact, knowledgeable and helpful. We are particularly impressed by the very comprehensive information gathering that takes place as offers are made. This means you can feel confident that the finance and chain links are as secure as possible. Communication throughout the process has been excellent. We’d highly recommend. Thank you Balgores.

I wanted to say a massive thank you to Balgores Property Leasing Team

I wanted to say a massive thank you to Conor, Charisse and the rest of your team. You really do a great job dealing with us your landlords and of course the wonderful tenants. You always are professional, attentive, on top of any issues and always ready to give advice regarding tradesmen for repairs, general work needed to the property. Also, you work so well as a liaison between Landlord and tenants. I would like to make it known to your bosses how much I appreciate all that you do as a team.I would also like to give a massive praise to Dan Day one of your contractors you use and recommend. When my last tenant moved out there was some work that I wanted to have some work done on the property. You recommended Dan and I cannot praise him enough! He has been very professional, hardworking, executes work in a very timely manner, accommodating, always looking out for your best interest. He is a pleasure to work with and a massive asset to you. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

Highly recommended

Jo and Billy were brilliant at steering me through the sale of my flat. Messages were answered quickly, queries were solved and when I was uncertain they were very re-assuring. All done with good humour. I couldn't have asked for an easier passage through what can be a very confusing and stressful process.

arrogant, rude and not serious

Prior to the viewing they asked inappropriately detailed questions about finances as if you're trying to buy Buckingham Palace. On arrival the owner wasn't in and was never informed of the viewing. Balgores response: Ah well, bad luck. We don't even bother look at their property listings anymore, to us they're obvious scammers.

Simply the Best

My 90 yr old parents decided to move from Cornwall to Essex to be near family, and found a property through Basildon Balgores. The whole process was complicated by the pandemic but throughout, all the staff have been friendly, informative and (important to us) true to their word. Once my parents decided on a property, Sarah has been keeping us updated and answered a whole array of questions and concerns promptly, honesty and with good humor. Sarah has been the nicest person throughout and so on the case. We are nearing the end (fingers crossed), of this experience and we truly feel the members of staff at Basildon Balgores deserve recognition of the service they have provided to us. Thank you all.

Faith Restored!!

I had the pleasure of working with Kellee on the sale of my property and having gone through a terrible experience with my previous estate agent I was really jaded. Kellee is the epitome of professional. She gave me all the information I needed and reassured me. My buyer was found in a little over a week after listing and for the price I wanted so need for endless haggling. Totally recommend Kellee. Thanks so much for restoring my faith in Estate Agents!@

Balgores Upminster were great

Balgores Upminster were great, we sold our property quickly then lost out buyers, literally the whole branch worked tirelessly to find a replacement buyer. Branch Manager Richard was great when he valued our house, no pressure to go with them and when we did he didn't try to influence which package to go with. Both Chris & Heather in branch were able to step in and out of helping us easily so we felt very looked after. Communication was clear, advice was freely offered and when I wobbled whoever picked the phone up took the time to clam me down. We have a lovely new home thanks to Balgores Upminster and I can't thank them enough!!

Perfect from start to finish!

We recently sold our previous property and also purchased our new property, through Balgores Dagenham. Curtis done a fantastic job handling the sale of our house (for above asking price) and then provided us with a number of properties that fit our needs perfectly. He made us feel at ease throughout the whole process, especially given the current situation with the pandemic and also made us feel like friends rather than a client. I can’t recommend Curtis enough if you are looking to buy or sell!

Couldn't have done enough for me, definitely would use Balgores again

I had to sell and purchase a property given some unfortunate personal circumstances, and Curtis at Balgores handled both for me. These weren't straight forward transactions, however Curtis and the team handled it all for me to make it as seamless as possible. The transactions went through quicker than expected and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Estate agents often get a bad reputation, but these guys go above and beyond to help you and their advice and expertise is invaluable!

Wish I went with Balgores to begin with

I've been looking to sell my house now for the past 9 months which in current conditions was difficult and after trying a couple of different agencies a friend told me to try Balgores in Dagenham as they helped them to sell their property. Curtis was the agent I first had the pleasure of meeting. He dealt with me in a very professional and friendly manner and made sure to keep me informed every step of way. Would highly recommend.

Balgores SWF

We were considering using an on-line agent, but we are now glad we didn't. We sold through Balgores during covid, having completed our sale in November. They were very professional and carried out our viewings for us. Their service was excellent, always available by both telephone and email, and it was convenient to pop into their offices should the occasion arise. We would like to thank Tom and Craig for their expertise and guiding us through the sale transaction, and we would also like to thank Marie who dealt with the completion of our sale. They all went beyond their roles, and we are very grateful.

All round excellent service - Balgores Romford

From start to finish the service provided by Gavin and team at Balgores Romford was excellent! From the first instruction to sell our property, the service was fantastic with regular updates reducing all the stresses that are associated with moving houses. Gavin put everything into Layman's terms and what really impressed us was the speed and efficiency of the process. Top quality photography was followed by numerous viewings and we were delighted with the amount of interest generated in such a short amount of time. All of this organised so carefully in the midst of a pandemic. The regular updates whether about viewings, offers or progress of the sale legalities, we always felt well informed from Gavin and the team.I would highly recommend Balgores Romford and would not hesitate to use their services again!
