Victor, Charles and the sales team found a buyer within a week of putting property on the market.Although the process had its challenges,they helped to make it a smooth transition.I recommended Townends thornton heath to my sister, who was about to sell her property.All said and done she has just moved into her new house after Townends found her a Cash buyer..
Did i mention that i was initially with PurpleBricks and was 1,200 pounds out of pocket and poor service and no viewings..

My boyfriend and I are both students and had a guarantor. When viewing then propert the agent was very unhelpful and didn't say much. Asked him to send the paperwork as we wanted to property and said he would that evening. Days went by without paperwork and constantly ringing the office to chase it up. Eventually we couldn't have the propert anyways because were students although the agent knew that he still continued with the viewing and wasted our time and ignoring our emails and calls

Under no circumstances let Towenends manage your property. They are by far the worst I've ever worked with. Absolutely terrible communication – you can never get of anyone when you need them and end up dealing with the situation yourself (so what exactly is the management fee for?). When you eventually get hold of someone they are rude and unhelpful. I'll be very pleased when I can move the management of my property elsewhere.

My review is in regards to Renewal Co-ordinator Lee Woodward, based at head office Byfleet in Surrey. I am a Landlord who has been with Townends for 5 years now. And i am so pleased and highly impressed with the work of Lee Woodward. She is courteous, very professional, and she possesses the natural business acumen that is most well suited for this type of business environment. She is also very motivated. It is a pleasure dealing with her. Thank you Lee.

These guys are lovely until the point where hard work and perseverance is needed, then they will lie through their teeth and string you along for months and months without actually doing any real work. We purchased a property through these guys in early 2016 and in each of maybe 30 phonecalls, we were told that the paperwork is being sent over "right now", "this morning", or "first thing tomorrow", which it very rarely was. They are great at talking, but not a lot else. Avoid at all costs.
Another note, the "featured reviews" on this site need paying for. I am sceptical they are real people, because why would anyone other than a company pay to have their review seen? And all of them are 5 stars. And half of them were posted ON THE SAME DAY.
(David, the mortgage advisor, was admittedly fantastic).

I experienced an absence of professionalism and integrity. Turned up for a second viewing with my frail, 85-year-old mother only to be told by the owner that she had taken it off the market. I had not been contacted by anyone from the office (despite Sukina claiming that she had emailed and phoned me). The whole thing left a bad taste in my mouth, upset my mother and wasted my family's time.

I am happy to report that after selling my first house due to downsizing, the whole team at Townsends worked tremendously hard to help me secure the house of my dreams as a Buyer. Each Member of Staff from Nigel, Darren and Sukeena took into account my circumstances and my needs, which I found was very rewarding, as the other Estates Agency that I registered with, did not show much of an interest.

I had 3 estate different agents around to value my house, asked similar questions and the responses I got from Victor was the reason I chose Townends (& the reviews on this site). I only had to chase him on one issue but outside that, if he said he was going to do it, he did. I had less dealings with Shukeena, but she took the pictures & conducted the viewings and was very tactful & understanding of my situation. I have no overall complaint of Townends really, I'm still going through the last stages of completing my sale and the sales progression team seems to be doing all they can to get this wrapped up before Christmas.

The service I have received from the guys at the Thornton Heath branch has been amazing. They are always there to help and answer any questions I have. They have been patient and also very honest. They didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, they were realistic about time frames and everything to do with buying a house. They gave me great advice and they also listened to all my needs and concerns. They were fast and efficient without forgetting how super friendly they are!! I would recommend them over and over again and I certainly will be using them when buying or selling my properties.

Very polite, very friendly, very professional. When it was the time to put an offer in the competitive market of 2014 they communicated several offers between the vendor and the potential buyers very professionally, and I was lucky to have my offer accepted. As always the buying process was a long journey to go through the mortgage and legal requirements which due to my request for more information it took even longer. But they was very helpful, understanding and patient throughout this prolong process, and took a very professional approach in keeping them informed. I would definitely recommend them without hesitation and would use them again.

I originally spoke with Nigel in Sales regards a valuation of an investment property I bought for refurbishment last October. All was good with his polished pitch and promises of calling me in the new year (2015) nearer to the completion of the renovation. I was happy with the service thus far. Unfortunately I didn't hear from him nor anyone from the branch regards marketing the property in January. So I called no less than 3 times and remember speaking to Darren who assured me Nigel would call me. I've now placed it with Housesimple and ironically received s call last week from Darren at the branch asking me if I was looking to sell my property, as if it was the first time we had spoken. I told him I've already placed it on the market and said I would never consider using Townends services again as it was just the worst experience ever! Poor customer service! Amazingly Townends are not part of the 'transparency' scheme! I wonder why??? A month later towards the end of February I called again and told them I had a flat ready to go in the market. St
