Selling our beloved family home was an incredibly emotional process, but Paul and Billy at Balgores Hayes in Ongar made it a seamless and positive experience. From our first meeting, they showed immense respect for our memories while providing expert guidance to get our house market-ready.

Their communication was exceptional, always keeping us updated and reassured. We felt completely supported every step of the way. If you are looking for an estate agent who pairs genuine empathy with top-tier professionalism, we cannot recommend Balgores Hayes highly enough!

What a whirlwind! Paul Newell came to see me and after discussions, I put my house on the market with them. Great pictures were taken. Balgores arranged numerous viewings. The house was sold quickly. I bought and everything was signed, sealed and delivered in less than 10 weeks. Balgores were fab. They kept me updated, answered any questions. The whole team were brilliant and made the process easy. Thank you Paul, Marie and the team.

Daniella and Luke aided a quick and efficient letting of our property, securing a well vetted tenant and making the process stress free. We have used Balgores Gravesend previously and their friendly and customer focused approach to letting property made them our preferred choice.

We’ve been with Balgores for the past six years, and overall we’ve had a positive experience. Throughout that time, the team has been professional and helpful whenever we’ve needed assistance. While communication hasn’t always been perfect, they’ve been supportive and have helped us whenever issues have arisen. Thank you to the team for your service over the years, we appreciate your efforts and would be happy to recommend Balgores.

Special thanks to Kacey Campbell:

Kacey has been a great property manager. Ever since she took over the management of our flat all questions/problems are dealt with quickly. She’s very responsive over email and even takes the time to check in to see how things went once work has been done. She’s providing a good service!

This estate agent really was excellent. Due to circumstances outside our control, our sale took longer than anticipated. That’s when you need a great estate agent and Sian was absolutely brilliant. Professional, honest and attentive – she was absolutely the best. I have no hesitation in giving her 5 stars … she deserves more. Thank you 🙂

Buying a house can be one of the most stressful experiences of your life, but Samantha and Ellie at Balgores made the whole process so much easier and stress-free.

After my original purchase unexpectedly fell through, I found another property through Balgores, and from start to finish they were absolutely fantastic. Samantha and Ellie were always proactive, responsive and genuinely invested in keeping everything moving. They regularly kept me updated, chased solicitors and other parties when needed, and were always on hand to answer my questions and reassure me during what was a very stressful few weeks.

Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and their communication was excellent throughout. Thanks to all their hard work and dedication, I finally completed on my new home (in just one month!), and I’m incredibly grateful for everything they did to help make it happen.

If you’re buying or selling a property, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Balgores, especially Samantha and Ellie. They are a real credit to the company. The best Estate Agency in the Chelmsford area by miles! Thank you all so much for your support.

Special thanks to Samantha Beeson:

Samantha was exceptional throughout my purchase. She was proactive, communicative and always one step ahead, keeping me updated at every stage and chasing anything that needed moving. She made what could have been an incredibly stressful process feel much more manageable and was always friendly, professional and reassuring. I genuinely don’t think the purchase would have progressed as smoothly without her dedication. She’s a real credit to Balgores!

My experience with this estate agency was very disappointing from start to finish.

After my offer was accepted, I did not receive a written confirmation. When the confirmation was eventually sent around a month later, the purchase price stated was £2,500 higher than the offer I had agreed.

One member of staff, Rajvir Sondh, was unprofessional during my interactions. On one occasion, I received a call in the morning demanding that I provide my mortgage broker and solicitor details by 5:00 pm the same day. During the call, I felt that he raised his voice and spoke in an unnecessarily aggressive manner. Other staffs were also non responsive.

The agency also requires buyers to sign a Gazeal agreement. Buyers pay £1,080 to enter this agreement, while, in my experience, the seller did not have to pay anything. In my case, the seller was unresponsive for more than two months. When I later tried to make a claim under the agreement, I found that the clauses made it extremely difficult to qualify for the advertised £5,000 compensation.

In addition, I was charged £90 for an ID check, whereas other estate agents I have dealt with have carried out this process at no extra cost.

Based on my personal experience, I would not recommend this agency. I encourage prospective buyers to read all contracts carefully, understand any fees and terms before signing, and make an informed decision.

I just wanted to share my experience with Mr. Ayub, who never contacted us back. My wife tried reaching out to him 4 or 5 times, but he only responded once, saying he had a meeting with the lender in an hour and would update her later that evening. Unfortunately, we never heard from him again. It has now been almost three months, and we still haven’t received a single call or update from him. We are very disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism.

I met Rayyan at a viewing in Dagenham and although I did not offer with him, he was incredibly insightful and supplied me with the knowledge and tools needed to find the right purchase. He taught me how to offer, importance of floorplan and Sqftage. Long story short, I ended up finding my forever home within weeks rather than the 13 weeks i spent looking at the wrong property types!! If anyone is a First time buyer and is looking for support. Rayyan is definitely the man to go to. Thank you so much!!
