I would like to thank Mark and his team for their excellent, professional and friendly support from the first viewing, through to the exchange of contracts. Mark's frequent updates filled me with confidence and I was especially impressed by the way he chased a mortgage broker on my behalf, enabling a swift and painless purchase. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ella Homes Estate Agents for anyone buying or selling a property.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Dealing with Ella to sell my late father's property was a truly dreadful experience

Ella sell a lot of properties because they value them near the bottom of the market which is ok if you want to get on and sell quickly, but might not suit everyone. They did very little to act on my behalf as the client.. They didn't get the place on the market as quickly as promised and I never saw the brochure on the house that they also promised. They did find a buyer for me but when the buyers were slow to get legal proceeding kicked off Ella did nothing to chase it up until prompted by my solicitor, Worst of all for me, meddling by Mark Ayres turned the run up to completion of the sale from a stressful experience into a distressing and stressful time. They say on their website that "our relationship with the client is never taken for granted". I didn't find this to be true and I certainly wouldn't recommend them.

Stephanie · 25 May 2018

Agent replied · 10 July 2018

Hi Stephanie We are truly sorry that you feel this way. We actually had to chase the solicitor rather than the other way around and always try to work in the best interests of our clients the vendors. Your buyer was ready by mid February but sadly, on this occassion due to reasons set out to us by your solicitor it could not complete until the May. We chased this on a weekly basis for you right up until completion. We certainly don't mean to meddle, rather we intend to maintain communication between all parties and ensure the sale reaches exchange and completion for all parties. Sincere apologies for any distress caused. Ella

Mark Ayres has yet again been fantastic throughout our selling process. His attention to detail and speedy feedback at all stages was very much appreciated, especially during the unsettled times of the first lockdown. Once viewings were allowed we quickly secured a sale, progressing to completion as quickly as the situation would allow. VERY pleased with Mark and the team, would not hesitate to recommend them as an estate agent.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Excellent service and ongoing support provided by Mark, Rachael and Bob throughout the whole process. Very professional and went that bit further with details to help sell property. Accessible and always called back if they could not resolve matters instantly. A trusted, friendly estate agent and would definitely recommend. They keep promises and makes moving so less stressful.

Having dealt with numerous estate agents over the last year it was so refreshing to finally deal with Mark and Ella Homes. Our purchase in Winslow went through and when there were issues with our buyers solicitors Mark stepped up to the plate and helped get the sale acrossthe line. We are now very happy in our new home and village. Highly recommended.

The Lettings Division of Ella manages a number of rental properties for my family. All the team are talented but Elaine stands out for me because of her tenant selection skills. Her ability to assess candidates in interview is outstanding. As a consequence, we have never had a tenant that was not entirely satisfactory.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

We recently purchased a house that was marketed by Ella. We were hugely impressed by the professional and proactive approach from Mark and his team throughout. We didn't feel pressured or hurried into any decisions. The communication from Gary was excellent and reliable at times when there was lots of uncertainty elsewhere in the chain. Would use again.

We moved to Ella from another agency and from the outset, the number of viewings we received increased significantly. Bob and Rachel were always very positive and responded quickly to questions we raised. As our sale progressed, Bob was very responsive to hiccups within the chain . I would not hesitate to recommend Ella - thank you.

We have moved house quite a few times now but this is our first time dealing with Alexandra and co and we couldn’t fault them at all. This has got to be the less stressed we’ve felt when it comes to moving. Our agent is Elaine and she has been great! Elaine has kept in contact throughout out and has been answering all enquiries very quickly. From previous experience with other estate agents it’s always been us chasing them up which hasn’t been the case with this house move. It’s been extremely efficient and smooth. Elaine has been fantastic and has really kept our stress levels under control and we really appreciate it. Thank you very much.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism
