Balgores Property Arvostelua 

A brilliant company to work with, that go above and beyond to help resolve problems for the best outcome. I had huge issues with my property but their patience and guidance resulted in a positive outcome. They are extremely honest, professional and very knowledgeable. I cannot thank Andrew Perry enough!! Thank you so much, to you & your team, I will always be grateful!

We decided to sell our house, so I arranged for half a dozen estate agents to come round and give me a valuation.
After listening to most of their sales pitches and a fair bit of nonsense, I started to worry — am I even going to find the right estate agent? 🤯

Out of desperation, I rang Balgores — not one of the big-name agencies, but I thought I’d give them a try.

Femi, the branch manager, turned up. He didn’t give a sales pitch or waffle. The only thing he said was, “I want this property on my books — and I will sell it.”

We agreed on a commission rate we were both happy with, and within a week, we had over 30 viewings and an agreed offer.

We’ve now officially sold the property — and we also used Balgores’ recommended solicitors, PCS, who were excellent.

Femi, Sarah, and the rest of the team were brilliant and supportive throughout the entire process. Thank you.

But there’s one person who really stood out. Once Femi and the team had done their job, they passed the case on to someone who saw it through to exchange and completion.

I’m in my 60s and I’ve always wanted to meet Wonder Woman — and I finally did.

Louise.

I had so many conversations with her over the phone. She was on top of everything.

When we received emails from the solicitor filled with jargon, Louise would call us and explain everything in plain English. She made a very stressful process feel manageable — and even human.

I truly hope that everyone going through a sale or purchase has a Louise to guide them through it.

No one asked me to write this review. I’m doing it because it’s well deserved.
I also hope the owners and senior managers of Balgores read this — because it’s people like Louise who make your company what it is.

I sincerely hope you show your appreciation with a Pay rise or at best a bonus.
Sometimes, we don’t realise how valuable someone is… until it’s too late.
Louise, thank you so much for all of your help. Much appreciated And I hope you enjoy your flowers, chocolates and wine.
Thank you
Tony

I am a real seller - Selling my house through Balgores! Nice people - miss leading sale pitch on the buy in protection agreement! If buyer wants to make bids and pull out, they can, and you get nothing - so you think your selling, paying fees and they can pull out without consequences . Thats my experience . Obviously the fault of the false bidder!i The 5k sales protection is a miss sell (in my opinion only ) they make a big thing - First sale fell through. I don’t know if it’s just Balgores Chelmsford that’s miss selling but it’s not the protection I thought we were paying for. Still, nice people at balgores - pointless agreement if the buy’er can pull out weeks later. (Wasting time and money)

Balgores agent grossly underpriced my property. Simply looking for a quick sale and thus quick commission. Took me for a fool. Will put property with another estate agent, who priced it accurately.

They work and act in the benefit of landlords.

Recommendation:
Focus on tenants and service.
Not to be biased
Listen, communicate and fix legitimate issue

Jody Manno was amazing estate agent
Made the whole process easy for me and was completely professional at all times
Responds to emails and calls promptly
Highly recommend using Balgores and especially Jody Manno

BEWARE NOT OT USE THIS AGENT (Hornchurch)

The services which I have obtained for agent is absolutely diabolic and a disgrace. My family has made an offer for a property 5 months ago and they have recommended solicitors and a broker which we agreed to use (from high recommendation from the agent). However, as soon you sign the Gazeal agreement. He was made to pay £1080 for the agreement and further £500 fees on other documents. While sales progress is ongoing, NO and absolutely NO support was given and the agent BLOCK YOUR NUMBER to stop you from making contacts with the agent. The sales agent would not even answer your call and they will make minimum contact.
BEWARE TO AVOID Balgeores and use alternative agent such as Bristow eve or Haart or any other local estate agents.
If you want to buy property over 2 years of process then use them with no support and additional fees which they ask you to pay that no other agent would ask.
I am sure they use fake reviews on their news letters to improve their profile.

We were looking to sell our house & was told by close family to use Balgores Upminster, as they had recently sold with them, having had Chris West as their agent & had an amazing experience from start to finish. We followed suit & successfully sold our house within 3 weeks of it being listed with Balgores Upminster. We have no doubt this is because of the exceptional service from all the team, but especially from Chris West. Chris is professional, approachable & passionate about what he does. He kept us updated daily as to progress & was always available for catch-ups, even on the weekend. Thank you so much for all your help Chris! You are a star! We love our new house & we would recommend anyone to use Balgores Upminster.

Unfortunately decided to use this firm regarding a property sale.
Initially the individual that did the valuation and convinced me to sign on with them was easily accessible,Joe.
Then after a while when I stopped receiving any viewings at all I tried on numerous occasions to get in contact with him but he just completely ignored my calls and messages.
The Brentwood branch are really low on staffing which I only discovered when physically going to the office.
In the future I'll do more research regarding what agents are the best in my local area because it definitely isn't Balgores and Joe completely lacks good customer service.
The commission they charge as well is not competitive.

After completing on a sale I wish to pay thanks to Ellie , Marie and the teams at Chelmsford and S Woodham Ferrers branches.
Without your support and constant sheer determination, we would not have achieved our completion by the date specified. I cannot recommend Chelmsford Balgores ( Ellie) high enough. Thanks so much to you all. Xx

I wanted to share my recent experience with Balgores, Dagenham . I am a prospective buyer and have personal mortgage advisor . I made an offer with valid AIP (Agreement in Principle from Bank) + source of funds, They forced me to see thier own mortgage advisor irrespective citing that it is thier norm to ask all the buyer to go through thier mortgae advisor for financial verification . I asked to send their policy document relating to this but never recieved reply . Also they confirmed that offer has been forwarded but the seller confimed that they did not inform them when i went for 2nd viewing. I have dealt with other high street Estate Agents and nobody have asked to see thier mortgage advisior if i declined to . May i suggest 1. Please dont force prospective buyers to see your mortgae advisor if they dont want to and have Valid AIP + source of funds document 2. If it is your policy make it more transparent by mentioning in the Brochure whilst advertising a property .

Michelle from Balgores Upminster was great. Conducted the viewing, and regularly kept us up to date on the purchase of house. Was able to contact her easily when we had queries or issue with the purchase. She was able to advise on other services such as surveyors without being really pushy.

On of the branch manager's come to our house to value the property and was quite frankly very rude and insulting. No real communication and conversation on reasons why selling etc. It was purely just walk in take measurements and that was it. The whole conversation didn't provide me with any confidence and generally told the manager to get out and don't come back.

Harrison at Balgores in basildon was assigned to help me with my sale and purchase. I cannot praise him enough! Harrison was polite and friendly, made me feel at ease, listened to me rant when I was getting stressed with the whole process and did whatever he could to make things run smoothly. I am now in my new property and could not be happier!

"I had the pleasure of working with Nikola at Balgores Letting in Dagenham, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was super helpful and provided quick, professional assistance with the rental market appraisal of my property. Nikola’s knowledge of the local market was spot on, and she made everything so easy and stress-free. I really appreciated how prompt and friendly she was throughout the process. I highly recommend Nikola and the team at Balgores Letting if you’re looking for expert advice and great service in the Dagenham area!"

Mortgage advisor Abigail Cowlishaw and team, were really helpful, supportive and quick in their response &work.
I really appreciate their quick response throughout the process help us to finish all the formalities within 2-3 months.
Thanks Abi

Brilliant support and service from Carlos in the Gravesend office as I enter my second year with my current tenant at my rental property. Carlos is super quick to respond and help when I ask for assistance.. and I’m so grateful to Daniella for her help to get me where I am today after a horrendous time with another local agent and nightmare tenant..

My life is made so much easier by the clear and concise owner statements during tax return deadlines. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you!

DO NOT USE THIS AGENT THEY ARE LIARS
I viewed the property and it was confirmed and I was waiting for the documents for a week my phone calls and then Nikola who was supposed to send me the documents lied and then said the property was offered to someone else after we had a agreement

Peter Walker served us very well. He is kind, respectful, patient, a great listener, and very professional. At some point, I was almost giving up, but Peter's optimism and encouragement kept me going. He is exceptional in all aspects of his work. I recommend Peter to anyone out there who is looking for a property advisor.

Thank you, Peter, for making it possible for me to be a homeowner.

I was recommended to use Peter as my Mortgage Advisor and would recommend on to other! Peter was nothing but helpful, informative & on the ball. There was never a question he didn’t have an answer for and simply made me feel at ease throughout my whole buying process. I’m sure he advised me on more than what his job description holds but nothing was a problem for him.

Couldn’t have asked for anything more!!
