Summary of Reviews

Balgores South Woodham Ferrers has earned consistent praise from customers for its responsive communication, professional service, and proactive approach to property transactions. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the team's ability to keep clients informed throughout the buying and selling process, with particular commendation for staff members including Marie, Paul, Clive, and Tom. The agency is noted for handling complex chains efficiently, arranging viewings promptly, and chasing conveyancing matters to maintain momentum. Customers also appreciate the quality of property marketing and the team's willingness to go above and beyond, particularly during emotionally challenging sales such as the disposal of inherited properties.

We had a very positive experience with Marie and the team at Balgores throughout our purchase. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and they were always professional, responsive and proactive in helping to keep the transaction moving despite a number of challenges during the conveyancing process.

Since moving into the property we've unfortunately uncovered a number of significant issues with the house itself, but those matters are entirely separate from the service we received from Balgores. Throughout the process, everyone at Balgores was approachable, supportive and genuinely committed to helping us get to completion.

We'd have no hesitation in recommending Balgores to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

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.

A massive thank you to the Balgores team - South Woodham Ferrers. Especially to Paul and Marie. Totally kept in the loop from start to finish. I had the most amazing legal team also recommended by Balgores. Both are a credit to their profession. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will be using again. First class and stand out from the rest !!!!

Clive and the team offered calm, professional and sound advice at all the stages in the sale of my late mother in laws bungalow. Balgores accompanied all viewings on our behalf and always left the property safe and secure.

I viewed a property on line that I liked, enquired at Balgores and got a viewing next day. We spent a good time viewing and wasn’t pressured at all. We discussed on our way home and on arrival , put in an offer, handled by Clive after a short negotiation a price was agreed. Marie took over the handling of the case and with her chasing the Conveyancing activities the process was soon completed. I found Balgores professional, friendly and on the ball and found the whole process relatively stress free

We couldn't recommend Balgores enough, with a special mention to Paul and Marie.
Paul filled us with confidence during our valuation that he wanted to sell our house, and within 5 days we were sold! Marie's communication throughout was excellent, being prompt and helpful.
This was our first time selling, and it couldn't have gone better, so thank you!

I am writing to express our appreciation for the whole Balgores estate agent team in South Woodham Ferrers, Essex . For their fantastic work in marketing and selling our home in super quick time. From the initial visit we felt in the hands of professionals and the ongoing care and attention was amazing . From the beginning Clive Ellingham was so positive and prepared to market our house enthusiastically . Our case was passed to the capable Marie Ball who tirelessly progressed not only our sale but acted for the two buyers in the chain too! We are moving next week to a new build purchase where the sales advisor said Balgores are professional and efficient - they are - well done, especially Marie who is a ⭐️

The handling of our house purchase was done very professionally by the team at South Woodham, as was the sale of our property by the team in Basildon. I would certainly recommend Balgores to anyone selling or buying a property.

Everyone was very helpful, from the initial showing of the apartment along with constant updates and chasing the solicitors for updates and helping with queries. I would recommend them to anyone who asked me.

I cannot thank Marie and Paul for all their help with my sale and later my new purchase. They kept me up to date with all events and helped keep things moving. I would highly recommend this company.

I can’t thank Paul, Marie and Clare enough for handling the sale of my late father’s property which at times was very fraught through no fault of them or us. They always kept me up to date and always replied to any queries I had promptly which helped to ease the stress big time. I always felt that they had everything covered and the many viewings outside of South Woodham were always carried out efficiently, always notifying me in advance when they would be carried out.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Balgores.

We cannot thank Marie, Paul, and Clare enough for their incredible support throughout our selling journey. From the very beginning, they went above and beyond, showing potential buyers around our home, saving us the time and stress of arranging viewings ourselves. Their clear and proactive communication meant we were always kept in the loop with regular updates, and any questions or concerns were answered quickly and thoroughly.

What really stood out was how seamless they made the entire process. From the first valuation to the final completion, everything was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. They ensured that any potential hurdles were managed efficiently, keeping things moving without unnecessary delays.

The whole team’s dedication and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind, and we genuinely couldn’t recommend them highly enough to anyone looking to sell their home.

I had the pleasure of working with Marie throughout the purchase process. As the purchaser’s solicitor from Muve Conveyancing, I found her to be professional, responsive and proactive at every stage. She kept both the client and us fully informed, making the transaction run smoothly. It was a real pleasure collaborating with her.

Clive and the team treated us with care and kindness whilst being professional throughout a difficult sale. This was emotional selling my late Aunt's home but we could not have picked a better agency who saw us through this time to a successful completion.
Thank you seems insufficient, Clive you were amazing and always available at the end of the phone, this meant so much as we live so far away.
