GoogleHaving wasted some 6 months with a national estate agent we decided to use Breckon & Breckon in Witney. What a great move that proved to be as John Bouwer and his team where very professional and a delight to deal with throughout the sale of our property. We can't recommend them to highly!

GoogleWe have moved many times and recently bought a house through Breckon & Breckon. Having had a great deal of experience of estate agents across the country I rate John and his team among the best we've dealt with. They are professional but with a human touch, and try to go that extra mile.

GoogleGenerally Estate Agents get a bad press, but not Breckon & Breckon. The service they provide has been exemplary. They have contacted me on a weekly basis as a norm. Have solved all the many difficult challenges that have arisen and been on the end of a phone at all times to answer any questions. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

GoogleBreckon and Breckon Witney branch John was very proffesional and kept us in the loop the whole way through our sale. This became especially relevant as our sale was not straight forward. Also all the people who showed our house were friendly and took time to find out about our house.

TrustpilotComplicated chain, outstanding support
We were a part of a complicated chain. We viewed a home in Witney, Oxon in February and fell in love with the property. To move forward, we needed to put our two houses on the market. John had them online and live with professional photographer within the space of a week. We very quickly had viewings (10~) within a week and moved to offer stage within a month. John supported us thinking through the offers we received and the offer we made. I found him to be a great source of guidance throughout the entire process and cannot recommend him enough. We also partnered with Alex, who sold one of our houses and did several viewings and he was consistently supportive, contactable and open. I found the group whatsapp chat useful, quick, and easy to communicate. If we were to sell again, we would definitely use B&B.
Highlights:
Consistent communications with updates
Transparency wherever possible
Guidance on complex situations (chain complications!)
Management of conversation with Solicitors
Support in selling and procuring furniture/curtains etc…
Honest and Open
Accelerated process wherever possible

GoogleBreckon and Breckon Witney, and John B in particular, are hands down the best estate agents I have ever had the pleasure of engaging.
They helped me to get my home sorted even in the face of extremely challenging circumstances, helped me navigate the pitfalls of a complex purchase, whilst also ensuring the sellers were kept onside and motivated.
A truly delightful agency to work with from start to finish, professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to get both parties a great result in the sale/purchase

TrustpilotAppalling service
Appalling service from management and sales teams. The sales team was very unresponsive and let the sale of my apartment drag on for months longer than they needed to be. The management team were also very poor and continue to bill me even though I moved out in July and have explained that. They claim this is completely out of their hands and were extremely rude and dismissive.
