I completed on my first flat earlier in the summer and it wouldn't have gone so smoothly without the help of Lauristons and especially Andy Wilkins. He really went above and beyond his call of duty and couldn't have done enough to help us. Everyone we dealt with was extremely professional and efficient, I would definitely recommend them.

Overseeing my then Tennant move out, and informing me of what needed to be done and arranging locks to be changed and more.
I wish all estate agents were like Vicky.
Thank you so much for all your help with selling my property.

Both Vicky Tevari and Jade Fitzpatrick were really helpful with my property search. I had two flats fall through with previous estates agents prior to using Lauristons and made them aware of this. They therefore, made sure that they would do all they could to ensure that the purchase with them went through smoothly. They constantly chased all parties to ensure the transaction went as seamlessly as possible. The entire process from offer to completion took about 5 months due to both solicitors being quite slow, but Jade and Vicky did not stop in this time to ensure I was updated and made of aware of the progress. Once the flat was purchased and I picked up the keys Vicky even gave me a list of good restaurants/bars to go to in the local area! I would definitely recommend anyone to use Lauristons and in particular the Balham branch.

I have just completed on a flat purchase through Lauristons and I could not recommend them more highly. Our agent in particular, Andy Wilkins was extremely helpful and attentive. He went out of his way to help us out on numerous occasions, including helping us remove the old furniture from the flat! He communicated very closely with us and the vendor and was always contactable. We had quite a few problems with the flat purchase going through and hurdles to overcome and Andy helped us with all these so that the purchase managed to still go through. He was not only professional and extremely good at his job but he also did it all with a smile! I would definitely use Lauristons again and will be recommending them to all my family and friends.

I was able to handle all the administrative work mostly using email and only a few times we needed to phone for some information-exchange. My email was usually replied to in an hour or so. I was very happy with the possibility of using email when it is not urgent because it costs nothing and even more important: you can read and reply to it when it bests fits you.

She played an important part in me deciding, at the end, to purchase the property, and she was always available and helpful in the course of the transaction and payment that, me residing in a remoted country abroad, was sometimes a bit complicated.
I would definitely advice every customer to have Jade as her selling agent.

Unfortunately the process of buying our first place was made very stressful and drawn out by a vendor that kept us hanging on and continualy increasing the price AFTER our offer had been accepted. From offer being accepted to completion the process will have taken 1 year. During this time Nigel had a very hard job of managing the expectations of a very testing vendor and ourselves. On several occasions he was put in a very difficult position in regards to conflicting interests between ourselves and the vendor and did a great job of being a mediator. Nigel managed to take charge of the process when the vendor threatened to pull out and put the property back on the market (this happened several times) Nigel managed to achieve an agreeable outcome for both parties which was not an easy task. I would recommend Nigel for buyers and sellers.

Also they charge a fee for to write a reference - £60 - which of course is in the contract however it's not perhaps something you notice because i've never ever had to pay a fee for a reference. For the cost of £60 it took them 24 hours to do the refernce, for this price I would expect it to be written right away.
