From start to finish these guys (and girls) were fantastic. It made selling our property a stress free and pleasant experience!

Would not recommend to any potential buyer. After our offer was accepted they asked for a non refundable £200 as commitment fee, even though we produced all proof of deposit etc. This wasn't even mentioned in their website. When we refused they said they will keep the property on the market and arrange other viewings and take new offers even though our offer was accepted by the buyer and we were required to initiate our mortgage application. That's borderline blackmail and extremely unethical.
They are one of those agents who operate online only. They will not be present during viewings and will hardly help you with anything.

The best estate agents in town!! Really helpful and look after their tenants, they always respond to calls and emails very quickly. Lyn is especially amazing and very professional.

We chose to sell our house using Blackshaws as they sold the property to us originally and the service was OK. This time around, as a seller we felt they were never on our side with regards to surveys, enquiries, low offers or any other issues. The initial sales lady is great, but as soon as it was passed over, the whole experience was a bit of a nightmare and everything was dealt with very unprofessionally. Would not recommend unfortunately.

Doesn't deserve one star to be honest!
Has taken over a month to get a reference to move out and still haven't got it even though I have paid for it. Quick to take your money.
And also I've had no hot water in my flat for 2 years!! Can you believe that, its against the law!! No contact with the landlord at all, I paid £420 maintenance fee. And no matter how many times I contact them they don't do anything and no maintenance has been received. Will be asking for my money back and taking the whole company to court.

Professional and personal. A first class estate agent start to finish. We have used Hunt Roche several times for buying and selling and letting . Photo service is outstanding and the agents are helpful and give good genuine advice especially Avril. Thank you for making our move a nemerorable positive experience and for all your help and support and advice. These agents really do care and I would always recommend Shaun and Donna for buying and selling and letting. First class service start to finish. Thank you.

No communication at all in the first 3 months, no updates at all, only started to bring in viewers when we went multi agency.
50% of the time I had to call them to get my viewer feedback.
On receiving an offer, whilst negotiating they encouraged the potential buyer to purchase a similar property as that seller was looking at buying another house also through them.
When we eventually did sell, they lost the keys to our house, we had already moved out of the area.
Upon completion they said they would call to let us know everything had gone through, didn’t hear a word from them once they had their money.

Gilbert & Rose Property - Southend-on-sea
1333 London Road, Leigh on sea, SS9 2AD
Customer reviews (33)
Michael Koutas
From start to finish Gilbert & Rose were superb. Spencer’s enthusiasm is infectious and he made me feel like he really wanted to sell my house himself! He valued it almost £25k higher than two other local agents had and despite my skepticism, assured me he could sell it for that price... he was right, I ended up accepting an offer for £5k higher than that within three days!
Their rates are very competitive compared to other local estate agents - I paid £3,000 + VAT as a fixed fee, which was £2-3k less than their competitors who all quoted me a fee as a percentage of my sale price. I was impressed with the high quality of the photos and Rightmove listing, accurate floor plan and detailed description, again much better than a lot I’ve seen from other local estate agents.
One I’d accepted an offer, I was passed over to Michelle who progressed my sale and she was superb as well, always available and always had the answers to any of my questions. I was only in a short chain but there were a lot of snags and hold ups - Michelle dealt with everything brilliantly and kept me updated every step of the way.
You get a real sense that Perry and Spencer want to change their industry for the better. They’re not your typical estate agents and it was a pleasure dealing with everyone at Gilbert & Rose which is a lot more than I can say for the other agents I’ve had to deal with for my purchase. Little touches like having a mobile number for everyone you deal with, having a fixed fee, access the property file app which lets your track the progress of your purchase/sale all make it a much more straightforward experience.
I also viewed a couple of properties through them and again, was very impressed with the organisation and professionalism shown by the agents I met with. It’s no wonder I’m seeing their signs pop up all over the place!
I’d have no hesitation in recommending Gilbert & Rose and will be doing so to friends and family. I’ll certainly be using them again when the time comes! Thanks guys!

Can’t thank Perry and Spencer enough for helping us find our dream home and making it a reality. The service from these guys was exceptional. They have a wealth of experience and that really shows with every interaction we had with them, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to buy or sell their home
