After meeting with sales managers from various estate agents in the Hammersmith/Shepherd's Bush area, I decided to go with Bushells because Stuart Balfre (the sales manager) seemed reassuring, calm and positive.

I have been very happy with how Bushells have managed my sale. Selling a house is (as I have found out) a very stressful process, and I feel Bushells has really done their best to make this as smooth a process for me as possible. I always felt confident that they were doing everything that they could to get things moving as quickly and efficiently as possible and I feel very grateful for that. They communicated with me very well throughout the whole process and I found them to be reassuring and reliable.

I would highly recommend Stuart Balfre and his sales team to manage/coordinate your sale.

I am writing this review to share my deeply disappointing experience with Portico estate agents. Throughout the entire process, from the sale of the property to move-in, move-out, and deposit return, we encountered numerous issues that caused significant distress. Our initial interactions were with letting ...

Comment on agent fees
Sorry. I don't think I'll ever be satisfied with tenant fees for renting properties. There's zero value to the tenent. You're basically paying them on behalf of the landlord and I think they've largely been developed to maximise an agents revenue from a captive audience who don't have a choice. Much like the ludicrous fees charged to landlords when tenants extend their tenancy.
