Christian showed my sister and I around a Biggleswade property at Manor .court! He was very professional, but not pushy. He answered all of our questions about the property, and was extremely helpful. We were very impressed with his upbeat attitude.
We were very impressed with the energy and enthusiasm put in to marketing our mother’s house. The support given as we waited for problems down the chain to be sorted out was also very helpful. Would definitely recommend.
Very quick responses to emails and enquiries, keep you updated about the progress of sales. Super friendly staff who always have time for you. Made the buying process much less stressful.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Very professional estate agents. Provided the right level of support throughout the purchasing process.
They have a lot of Baldock properties on their books and undoutedly get a lot of people knocking on their door to view them. I registered with them in 2012 when house hunting - got property details given to me (I had dropped into the office). Viewed a couple although no good. All an OK service. But then heard nothing from them until....wait for it...a year later....they had something on the market would I be interested? A year without anything from them (despite stuff coming on the market that matched my criteria). Clearly they had a tricky one to sell and were actually being proactive! If you want an estate agent that will proactively market you property I would question whether these were any use at all.
Not a pleasant experience. I found Helen to be very dishonest, the rest of the team do their best.
Unpleasant Experience as a First-Time Buyer As a first-time buyer, I encountered several challenges during my recent property purchase. After my offer on a leasehold property was accepted—based on advice regarding the appropriate price—I discovered discrepancies upon reviewing the leasehold contract. The service charge was higher than initially stated; although the advertisement mentioned the 2022/23 rate, the latest charge was never communicated to me prior to my offer despite my inquiries. Additionally, I inquired about a nearby vacant land and was relaxingly answered by the estate agent. Later, searches revealed plans for a significant construction project in that area. It’s surprising that the estate agent was unaware of such developments. Furthermore, I noticed the council tax band was incorrectly listed. The team was reluctant to address this with the seller, suggesting I handle it post-completion. Throughout the process, I felt hurried by the estate agent, receiving minimal support as a first-time buyer. It appears that little diligence was exercised in verifying property details. Notably, I later discovered that no lenders would finance this property, rendering it unsuitable and resulting in financial loss for me. Ironically, the property’s advertisement has since been updated with this information, seemingly at my expense. These issues might have happened with whatever estate agent handled the property because estate agents rely on seller-provided information. So maybe I'm wrong but I personally feel let down. Buyers must verify their identity and financial status so it’s frustrating that property details aren’t similarly authenticated. This experience underscores the need for thorough due diligence to prevent financial losses for unsuspecting buyers.
