Buying a new home can be a stressful experience, but the Corben's team from start to finish have not only been extremely professional but also made us feel they really care about their clients and what they do. They made the whole process easier, and their support with any issues and concerns has been exemplary. My understanding is that they are a family business, and this shows with their attention to detail, conduct, and attitude.

I would happily recommend Corben's to anyone looking to sell or buy a house as they offer such a high standard of service. In particular, John was a real gentleman, very attentive and helpful, and made us feel like we were in safe hands.

Corbens have always been really professional and helpful. When we have had any tenant or property related issues they have gone above and beyond in helping to resolve them.

Thank you Corbens for an efficient, responsive and personal service. We were impressed with the initial meeting, the presentation of the property in the particulars and the viewing process. Would highly recommend.

We bought a house through Corbens. They were extremely helpful putting us in contact with local suppliers to obtain quotes. This led to an amicable negotiation with the vendors.

Corbens gave us a first class service and were a pleasure to deal with, at a time when restrictions were in place due to Covid. From start to finish, I felt we were valued customers. Very happy to highly recommend.

John and his team, (Nick and Carol especially) were helpfull beyond professionalism. Knowledgeable, polite, and extremely helpfull, and, whilst I was conscious that they were acting for their customer (not me), they were still acting with integrity and honesty. Nice people to do business with!

We bought a house that was marketed by Corbens. Good, responsive service and whole process took just over two months. If we were to sell in the future would definitely use them

Over a number of years, my family and I have purchased and sold our homes in Swanage through Corbens. I think the first impressions that one receives when entering a business relationship with Corbens is that of competence, security and fairness. There is a strong and reassuring sense of family, stability and continuity, while industry and local knowledge are unbeatable.

One always feels valued and respected as a client or customer and communications have always been great, timely and appropriate. The team clearly operate as a unit with a friendly and professional ethic and one has a clear sense of a connecting thread from the reception desk to the Top Chair. Most importantly the whole team seems to work on the principle of problem solving, on not treating questions as problems.

This is most important. I exited my last purchasing experience in complete satisfaction and I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Corbens for anyone wishing to purchase or sell.

Property sold during lockdown, so some delay in completing sale expected but never sure where the holdups were. Despite this Corbens achieved a sale price higher than anticipated for which we were very pleased and they quickly found a substitute buyer when the first purchaser pulled out unexpectedly. A professional service.

It was a great pleasure to buy through Corben's. They were very accomodating with viewings in difficult times, kept us in the loop at all stages, and were always very clear, friendly, and professional. A breath of fresh air, compared with our own agent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Corben's.

Throughout the process, the whole team at Corbens were very supportive, accommodating and always on hand to answer queries and offer help and advice. They made the process of buying a house much easier and less stressful than it could have been!

Yes it's true. I am writing a review about an estate agent, a very professional and helpful estate agent. In fact, it's one of the best estate agent's I've ever used. All of the staff are helpful and knowledgeable (local area, property and what's available). It was a pleasure to buy a property though Corbens. They were also the most helpful agents in the local areas when I was looking for my property, so thank you. Final thought What does a british real estate agent care most about? His proper tea
