Church & Hawes

Very professional, nice people to conduct business with, especially home moving which is stressful enough.

Cannot thank them enough for finding a buyer for my property. It was such a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Poor, don't communicate, seems you are doing all the chasing, leave messages to get in touch and they don't get back to you. Furthermore may I add not helpful at all.

I paid A deposit to take a flat off the market, then the landlords decided to not take me. So I thought obviously I'd get my 173 back as that's not my fault. But no! They are refusing to give my deposit back! I'm honestly shocked that they can do this to people. Very deceitful Be carful

DON'T. Just don't put your trust into these estate agants! All was perfect in the beginning, was shown around several properties and fell in love with our "forever home" immediately. Put our offer in and was accepted to our utter delight! Got our mortgage sorted and solicitors appointed right away. Everything was running smoothly and quickly. Paid the solicitors hundreds of pounds to carry out surveys etc and draft contracts were drawn up! 4 weeks later and just 5 days before Christmas we got a phone call from church & hawes to say he'd been contacted by another person who wanted the house and willing to offer more money so we were put into a bidding war.

Obviously we lost and so our dream house was snatched away just like that. our Christmas ruined and 2 devastated children who had started decorating their new rooms in their heads! While I understand it's not illegal to be "gazumped" I do find it morally wrong. After having spoken to other estate agents who have also said they'd never do that to someone there is still obviously an estate agent who thinks it is acceptable. Because of what he did to us, out of principle we will not even look at a house up with them now! Absolutely appalling agents!

We have just purchased our first home with Church and Hawes and every member of their team is so helpful, interested and kind! They helped us throughout the process (as we had no idea what we was doing) and can't thank them all enough for their help highly highly highly recommend! xxx

A big thank you to Jo for working really hard to get us to the exchange. This was not at all easy for Jo as there was many hiccups along the way from the chain. Nothing was ever to much for Jo and she always repiled straight away to us either by phone or email. Any problems that needed solving Jo was always on the case. We previously brought through church and hawes and have now sold by them and i would 100 percent recommend them. Thank you also to Simon and Nathan

A big thank you to Simon, Jo, Natham and the team for all your efforts and hard work in both selling our house and securing the purchase of our now new home. The service that you provided us with was both professional and friendly. Thank you very much.

A huge thank you to Glenn and his wonderful team for making my house sale totally stress free and as speedy as possible. They were all so professional, polite and knowledgable and kept me informed at every stage of the sale. Their customer service is fantastic. I would definitely recommend them.

First time in 30 years that I have thought about giving a review to a fellow estate agent, but thank you for your help in a very difficult chain, I am convinced that this chain would not have gone through without both of us, it was a pleasure dealing with you and service provided by good local estate agents by far outweighs the lack of experience provided by internet agents, Thanks again - St George Homes - Rayleigh

Highly Recommended! Well done to Simon for assisting us swiftly and expertly through the process of buying our house. His depth of knowledge helped us achieve a completion which had a short deadline.

We are buying our new property through Church and Hawes at Burnham-on-Crouch and have found them to be absolutely brilliant! Nothing was ever too much trouble, they always got back to us promptly when we had a query and kept on top of all the solicitors in the chain to keep things moving and reported back to us and all relevant parties. They have provided an outstanding service, particularly Simon, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family and we would certainly use them again. Nothing beats having a local person to get you through the highs and lows of house selling and buying - first rate service!

Church and Hawes, Simon in particular, were excellent, professional and friendly. The service they provided us with was second to none. Many hiccups along the way in our drawn out sale and purchase, six months in total. Simon was on the case chasing and updating us accordingly most days. We would highly recommend this company to anyone considering selling their house.

Church& Hawes, dealt with the sale of my Mother's bungalow, in Wickham Bishops, recently. Everything went very smoothly, with Andy Weller, remaining, cheerful& upbeat, throughout. I highly recommend.them, and Andy, has remained a friend!

Would really like to thank Melissa at SWF for helping us buy our first home! She was so helpful and made the process as stress free as it could be, responding very quickly to any queries! She made us feel very comfortable and important. Thank you for all your help we LOVE our new home

Church & Hawes rent out my property on a let and managed basis. Their staff are exceptional and have been delighted with every step of the process. Special thanks to Andy Weller and Nick Garriock.

An Estate Agent that earned their commission AND more Thank you for all you did in making my house purchase as prompt and as swift as it could have been - I said jump and you said 'HOW HIGH?' Thank you

Church & Hawes have been a pleasure to work with from start to finish keeping us fully informed throughout. Having sold our property via them I would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone looking to sell their property in the future.
