best estate agents to sell house with?

[lofty]

Anybody got any views on this?

We were thinking Pedder but have heard they are only local and might not have as much reach to potential buyers in other areas of London.

Cheers

I have sold and brought through Haart and would recomend them or Winkworth. Bushells will value your home cheap to sell it. If I went with Bushells I would have lost a lot of money!

Not sure about Peddar. I think management has changed since I was going to use them. At the time Peddar wanted to market my large one bed as a two bed! Haart are very professional and realistic

Just my opinions though

Thanks

Tell us more Missyelliott. What happened with Bushells to make you say that. Why would Peddar want to sell a one bed as a two bed?

I bought my house via Haart and I think they did a good job..

They have someone who is only responsible for seeing things through from sale agreed to sold rather than leaving the chaser work in the hands of the original selling agent which means they are usually at their desk if you need to call e.g. to arrange surveys etc. They all seemed very helpful when I needed to get in touch.

I have bought through Winkworth and think they are fair.

We used KFH in December and our flat was sold (well agreed price within 5 days) - I guess they just had the perfect buyer. The whole process was managed very professionally by them, I think Alistair was the manager's name and he was very good.

We had similar from Bushells - said we'd never get anywhere near where we wanted to market it for. Offer was 98% of asking price! The lady there was also very rude when we told her we were going with someone else, her words were "well keep my number because I doubt they'll sell it for you" - not very professional!!

We bought through Wooster Stock in 2007 and they were good too but I think they have lost their way in East Dulwich.

Eh, care to say why GG? Do you just have to say the word and we all go with your view? ....

Not sure if this is helpful and a bit late but our experience with Pedder was dreadful. Very rude uninterested man who never got back to us. WE would not use them at the moment.

Ray Brooks if you don't mind frequent clerical errors and a work experience student who doesn't know their north from their south showing people round.

It's Roy Brooks....

Clerical error?

I bought and sold through Spencer Kennedy. Very professional and a pleasure to deal with. They outshone the others who came round (KFH, Winkworth and Pedder).

KFH said the valuation was lower as buyers want proximity to Lordship Lane...... The house we were selling was a 2 min walk from Lordship Lane !?!?! The valuer admitted she was new to the area and had presumably driven from the other direction.

You said Roy Brooks I didnt. I dont wish to name them.

[tallulah71]

Ray Brooks/Roy Brooks - it doesn't take a genius to work out who you meant!

I found them charming.

Forgot to put picture in Window, Forgot to put Advert in. Forgot Price Change etc etc.

Toss up between Haart and Winkworths - Winkworth's will be more ambitious as to the pricing but Haart sell the most in ED.You wouldn't be dissapointed with either. As is extensively recorded elsewhere don't go anywhere near Foxtons.
