Blake & Thickbroom

We recently relocated back to Essex and were keen to purchase a property in Clacton. We had the misfortune to experience TWO failed property purchase attempts prior, with other agents and were feeling very jaded at the terrible expereince we'd been through, with no level of customer service twice! Blake and Thickbroom restored my faith in Real Estate Agents. Andrew organised and showed us around 8 properties in one day, all at very short notice. 4 of these were solid contenders and one we consequently bought. 3rd time lucky! Paul their dedicated Customer Service Manager looked after us completely from day one.

At no point were we EVER left wondering about anything. We were updated at every stage, and I am grateful and thankful that this purchase proceeded smoothly without so much as a hiccup. All staff at Blake and Thickbroom were professional and helpful and knowledgable at every step of the way. Courteous, friendly and polite, nothing was too much trouble and we felt they had everything in hand all the way through.

I understand that the agent is working in the interest of the seller at all times, but even as the purchaser we FELT like we were being looked after at every step of the way. We felt treated as if we were the client, which is exactly what everyone wants and will remember. If ever we sell this property there is no hesitation in who we would use to sell. Well done Andrew and Paul. Fabulous job. Fabulous service. Feel proud of the great service that you provide. It's the point of difference from everyone else. 10/10

We had sold our house and were about to exchange contracts on a new build.it was pulled off market by builder. We ended up having to move into a hotel thousands out of pocket. This agents did not care and are still acting for this builder. Unbelievable. No due care. Do not use this agent and definitely steer clear of of new builds handled by them

A quality service was provided by Blake and Thickbroom throughout the sale of our house. The agency provides an old fashioned professional service from start to finish. In our case, David Allis provided us with great customer service and Paul Collins had the tenacity, professionalism and determination to get the sale completed. We were always kept updated, sometimes more than once a day. Thank you to everyone who helped us through a difficult sale.

Not sure that this company are ethical in their approach to the pricing of the property l was interested in, The valuations are way out of line with the current recommendations by the Move market site I visited- in fact it is over 40k over the guide. I have sent them the valuation report which leads me to believe that they are giving vendors valuations that are not true indications, Is this to get custom?.

Blake & Thickbroom are good guys. My elderly father was very grateful for the service received in 2017 when buying his house through the Clacton office. I have just completed the resale of the house following my father's death, and am very satisfied. The manager David Allis is reassuringly sound and friendly, and appeared genuinely concerned (more so than the other local independent agency I had round) with getting me best value on the sale. Paul was professional and responsive chasing up the sale once agreed. Thank you.

Excellent service. I live miles from the property to be sold and they kept me informed throughout the sale. They were also very helpful with providing contacts for services in the local area. Thoroughly recommended.

Good start to selling our property unfortunately went downhill once we got a buyer. We was constantly lied too and accused of not doing things we had already done! Very rarely updated with progress only if we rang and after we made a complaint! Will not use again as I don't like being lied too even our buyers told us that this estate agents are known for lying wish I knew that before.

Bought my first house through these guys and they were brilliant! They were very patient and explained everything to me helping me understand the survey report and legal jargon. Great team and very experienced nothing was too much trouble. Huge thank you and I would recommend this Estate Agent 100%

Absolutely superb Estate Agents, very experienced and helpful staff, worked really hard to get our sale through and kept in contact with us and our solicitor throughout. Best estate agents in this area without a doubt! Local people who actually care about their clients! Would definitely use again value for money many thanks!
