Recent experiences of Estate Agents

Recommended Posts

17 years ago we sold our last property privately so we have only bought through agents.

I don't think I'm quite up to the job at present as my job is very inflexible in terms of being able to take calls during work time etc.


Can anyone share good experiences with local agents please?

We will be putting our 4 bedroom house on the market very soon and have had a couple of valuations this week.


I'm wondering which ones seem proactive with buyers and push the sale along efficiently without bullying.


Both agents who came round mentioned something about 'soft launching' - or something like that - whereby they contact prospective buyers already on their books in order to test the market before they put it on their website and other property websites - anyone got any experience of this please?


Thank you.

We recently sold our one bed in ED with No Flies (https://no-flies.co.uk/) - there?s a thread on them on here, but wanted to mention them again because couldn?t recommend them enough - so helpful, really proactive and overall a fantastic agent and a real credit to the area.
I can highly recommend Connor at Truepenny's. I have experienced several estate agents in Lordship Lane and none have had the values, honesty and integrity that I have very recently experienced with Truepenny's. I would never use Winkworth again, they're like car salesmen since the last Manager left. Two others I've used were nice but didn't work terribly hard to actually conclude sales.

On the sell side, good experience with KFH & Pickwick.


Have not had good experiences with Truepennys and would not recommend (v. poor communication which at times was bordering on misleading), but perhaps that was just us as the poster above rates them.

We haven't sold round here yet but we bought through Pickwick (with mixed feelings). On the tenancy side (which surely translates into how they handle sales), we've had terrible experiences with both Daisy Lets and Winkworths. Another time with Haart who were pretty communicative and decent - no complaints.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.   
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
