Paul Appleby gave an excellent personal service and went the extra mile when our original buyers dropped out. He supported us throughout the subsequent complex sale and attended all the house viewings personally and so became very knowledgeable about our quirky house. We would highly recommend Paul as an estate agent.... Read more

We’re so grateful to Paul and his whole team for all their hard work on our house purchase. As first time buyers, it was very reassuring to have great contact throughout the process; from arranging the first viewing; making the offer; the second viewing; and continually helping with issues we were having with our solicitors.
Without Paul we wouldn’t have known quickly that communication between the solicitors for the sale was breaking down and threatening the process. With Paul’s prompts and genuine care, we were able to chase our solicitors when needed and ensure things kept moving.
We love our house and fee very lucky that it was still available and it all worked out for us!
Paul is such a lovely personable guy, but sadly this is our forever home so we won’t need his services again! We are recommending him to friends and family though!... Read more

From the first phone call Appleby & Townend has provided the most exceptional service. They understand the challenges in selling a house and were there to support us all the way.
They worked hard for us in difficult market conditions and in the end we got a result we were happy with.

I met several estate agents when the decision was made to sell my deceased Father's house. With no reference or guideline for choosing the most suitable, I followed my gut.
Appleby & Townend showed immense sensitivity to my situation and and a deep understanding of the emotional journey that was to follow.
There was no pressure and they went out of their way to help in more ways than was actually necessary, or indeed part of their job description. They were always on the end of a phone or text any day of the week and evenings, and made themselves available for all queries, or just some well needed reassurance.
Their marketing was spot on, landing me with several offers within two weeks of going on the market.
They have a strong knowledge of the areas they cover and their research is thorough.
I would highly recommend them to the 'buyer / seller' market as well as to the letting market, and wish them every success in the growing business.... Read more

We were delighted with Appleby &Townend. The service was amazing. Paul gave us a realistic valuation and took fabulous pictures and made a great brochure. We communicated regularly through what’s app and he kept us informed at all stages. He handled the negotiations skilfully and took much of the stress away from the process. We had given up with another agent as we were getting nowhere , and now we are so pleased we did. Highly recommend this company... Read more

If you are looking for someone to sell your house, look no further than Appleby & Townend. It was our first time selling a house, and Paul was very down to earth, supportive, and friendly. Selling a house can be stressful but Paul found us the right buyer within days of listing the house and was always on hand to ensure we knew what was going on. Will definitely be using Appleby & Townend if we ever sell a house again!... Read more

Without doubt, Paul, Sarah and Mark are absolutely fantastic - they have restored our faith in estate agents. We chose to work with Appleby & Townend for two predominant reasons: 1. as we had faith that they would absolutely be true to their word by going above and beyond, and 2. as we wanted to support a relatively new and local business. From the moment we met Paul, we have been looked after spectacularly. Unlike most estate agents, the person we met with, i.e. Paul, is the person who does the viewings. IMO, that is vital to the success. Paul valued our home above what we thought was achievable, and not only did he get us that, he secured us more. And after the offer was accepted, he, Sarah and Mark kept everything on track, with regular communications and engagement. At no time at all, did we feel we weren't on their priority list. Ultimately they aced it, and we wish them only great success as their business grows. It won't be long until their For Sale (Sold!!) signs will be spotted all over Wiltshire.... Read more

The pictures they took of our property were beautiful, and the video they made was absolutely brilliant! They were always on the other end of the phone when we had any questions, and they made the process of selling a house much less daunting and stressful.

From the moment I invited Mark to value my property to the day of completion the team at Appleby and Townend were fantastic. Mark fell in love with our house and did a fantastic video and valued the place exactly where we hoped (a bit above actually). Paul handled most of the communication once the property was on the market. They were both incredibly professional; courteous; quick to reply; engaged in the process. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome especially as they worked hard to iron out the usual wrinkles that property sales incur. I am very grateful to the team and I wish them huge success going forward.... Read more

I booked a viewing and was told that the estate agent would only do a block viewing on a specific day, so I booked my slot. When I arrived at the house (10:45am), I was told there are already many offers. When I asked how I can put an offer in, I was told that this would need to be discussed with me on the phone in the afternoon. Needless to say, I received no such phone call. In the evening, I had a message on the phone saying that the house was sold to friends of the vendor, and because he could not reach me on time, I lost out. Talking to my estate agent (I just sold a house), he thought that this behaviour was unethical, and even in a frenzy market, this is not the way to treat potential buyers. Highly unlikely, I would book another viewing with these estate agents.... Read more

We were absolutely blown away by the service we received from Mark, Paul and Sarah at Appleby and Townend. From the start their pitch was clearly the most individually researched and great value. I am a very picky customer being an editor myself - but their attention to detail and marketing was next to none. The team responded rapidly to all our calls/WhatsApp messages and went above and beyond at every step to make sure our house sale went through smoothly and as quickly as possible. We were very pleased with the house sale they secured, but also knew they would be good to our buyers. I was cautious because they are not yet the most well-known name, but Appleby and Townend turned out to be absolutely the right choice financially. Aside from that, they are a team you will feel great about supporting. Mark, Paul and Sarah are not just hard working and highly competent, but are very genuine and just pure loveliness. Go with them, you won't regret it.... Read more

Mark and Paul where do I start. Firstly sorry this review is so late. I sold my previous house with them back in November 2021, and I couldn’t fault them one bit. It’s hard to find an estate agent that you can truly trust and I felt an instant trust with both of them. Their marketing is amazing and presence on social media is what is needed in this day and age. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them when I sell in the future. Thank you both for making the sale go so smoothly. The communication with viewings was great and I was kept up to speed on everything. Both of their knowledge of all things houses really shows and I’m forever grateful that I chose them. Its lovely to see them growing from strength to strength and I wish them both well for the future. Thank you once again.... Read more

We have recently relocated to Chippenham, Appleby & Townend were our Vendors estate agent who showed us around the property. What a lovely man Mark Townend is, he kept in touch with us throughout what was a long drawn out sale and both he and Paul Appleby were proactive in helping bring the sale to a successful completion. I have moved a number of times with my job but have NEVER been so well looked after by the Vendors agent. Awesome, first class service, above and beyond what you would expect by a lovely, genuinely caring, professional team.... Read more
