Best estate agent around, I wouldn’t use anyone else!!
We have just purchased a property and sold a property with Bernard Skinner (after previously selling with them 7.5 years ago). Very professional and helpful staff. Very responsive to all communication and we cannot fault them! It’s been a pleasure doing business with them and I am sure we will do again in the future if the need arises.

We have been very impressed with the service provided by Bernard Skinner while selling our house. They arranged a high number of viewings and managed to help the process along at every stage. They also offered a very competitive rate. Would recommend to anyone looking for an estate agent.

Excellent customer service received.  Steven (senior sales negotiator) was a pleasure to deal with during my property purchase.  He responded to my emails very quickly and kept me up to date.  Would recommend anyone to use this estate agency.  Very professional.

Steven at Bernard Skinner has worked on the opposite side of a personal property transaction in a difficult chain which took longer than expect. He was very helpful in ensuring the process progressed (despite me not even being his client), particularly as my own estate agent was completely inept (an online estate agent). He is professional, highly responsive and diligence. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for all your help.

Buying a house itself can be a challenging process, especially for first time buyers, but buying a house during a pandemic can be really stressful. Not with Bernard Skinner! Steven from Bernard Skinner was exceptional, highly professional and experienced, absolutely reliable and always there if you need an update or just to ask a question. Everything happened according to the plan and as discussed. I cannot recommend them more and will be happy to use their services in future! Thank you so much for your hard work and all the efforts! We really appreciate everything you did for us!

Working with Amanda and Steven was a pleasure. Not only did the team get the house in Eltham sold in double quick time but they always went the extra mile when I needed help. I live outside of London and in the current climate travel was impossible. Anytime I needed someone to attend the house , the staff at Bernard Skinner were always happy to step in. This is something that made my life so much easier and something I really appreciate. Many thanks.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Bernard Skinner.

I'm very happy with the service I received from Bernard Skinner, from the first valuation meeting through to completion, Steven, Amanda and Sam were always professional and at the same time friendly and easy to communicate with during the process of selling my late mum's house.
Amanda always kept me regularly updated on progress and I felt looked after by her and everyone else at Bernard Skinner. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone thinking of selling their property in Eltham and the locality, their fees are competitive and good value for the high standard of service they provide. Many thanks to you all.

Steven was highly proactive at finding a buyer for our property.
I had complete trust that he would co-ordinate the sale process very
professionally.
In addition the fee charged was very competitive.
I highly recommend Bernard Skinner Estate Agents.

Look no further for an estate agent; we found the team at Bernard Skinner professional, communicative and a thoroughly nice group of people.  Whoever you spoke to knew what was going on, passed messages on and if they said they were going to do something, they did it.  A very big thank you to the staff at Bernard Skinner for the service you provided and making the process stress free. I have no hesitation in recommending Bernard Skinner.

Very happy to have sold a couple of properties through Bernard Skinner recently. Particular thanks to Stephen and the team for their professional approach and ability to provide timely feedback during two complex sales. I will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a local estate agent that can go the extra mile and make a difference.

Sold my house with Bernard skinner. Very helpful staff and provided a professional service. Would definitely use them guys again in future.

We would just like to say a huge thank you to Steven for his help purchasing our first home. Steven was equal parts professional and supportive, being first time buyers we did need our hands holding especially during the pandemic. We’d also like to thank Sam Who was also very kind and helpful at several points. Fantastic team and we would highly recommend.

Great service from Stephen especially during the uncertain times during lockdown.  Very responsive to calls and very proactive in letting me know status of sale.  Will definitely use them soon for my next sale.

Amanda was most helpful and very kind ,
She was very compassionate , and knows her job .. have used Bernard skinner before around 12 years ago and nothing has changed , they are very good at their job  they know Eltham extremely well and the houses within the area ..

Friendly , profesional staff who are always more than happy to help .

We are very happy with the provided service. The viewings were professionally organised to accommodate our busy schedule and the staff was always happy to assist with any quarries. The feedback on the viewings was swiftly provided and we never had to chase for anything. 10 out of 10. Thank you Steven, Amanda and Sam we really appreciate your help.

The Bernard Skinner team were professional from the valuation on our house. They offered a competitive rate for fees and their communication throughout the process was invaluable. We would highly recommend Bernard Skinner estate agents.

They were recommend by a friend who use the company, and cannot faulty them at all.
Great service and sold our house very quickly and throughout a difficult covid period they continued to deliver a great service. Would highly recommend to anyone selling and a suppose also if your looking to buy

I would like to thank you for completing the sale of my parents property

In particular I would like to commend your negotiator Steven Pender. This was not an easy sale and there were difficulties throughout.

Steven worked so hard, he was professional throughout, dealing with the buyer, their Solicitors and my solicitors. I understand this is his job but it was the manner in which he dealt with the sale that was outstanding. They are retired people and have lived in their property for 50 years so it was always going to be emotional but the kindness and consideration shown to them throughout, made a difficult period so much easier.

As a result of Steven's actions we would thoroughly recommend the services of Bernard Skinner Estate Agents.

I was a first time buyer and worked together with Bernard Skinner's excellent agent, Steven in the past few months. During the process everything was smooth, Steven kept me up to date and he was also very helpful with any questions of mine. If at some point I would like to sell the house i will be considering with you - as opposed to Winkworth with whom I have had only unsatisfying experience. Please keep up the good service, thank you for your professional work.

We have just sold our house through Bernard Skinner. We have nothing but praise for their invaluable advice and guidance through the whole process. Their professionalism is second to none. Amanda has been amazing and kept us informed at all times. The entire staff have also had a part in the process. They are always there to answer any queries. We can’t recommend them highly enough. If you are thinking of moving, you couldn’t choose a better Estate Agent than Bernard Skinner, they are excellent.

We received excellent service from Amanda and her team. Although we had some very difficult purchasers Amanda or one of her team dealt with them very professionally and communicated with us at all times.
We now will be completing this Friday, a great result!

Responsive and professional. Would recommend the Eltham office.

Dated agency premises internally with an unfriendly vibe - some time ago I was very interested in a flat they were marketing - they were strangely non communicative about arranging a viewing claiming they would contact me once they had access - chased them after hearing nothing for a week only to be told it was sold now. There are better agents out there.

Very professional team at Bernard Skinner’s Eltham branch.I found the whole experience of my recent purchase first class and would recommend this estate agents to anyone who was thinking of buying or selling.I would personally like to thank Sam for showing us the property we chose and Amanda for her warm and engaging telephone manner not forgetting Ann and Steven who helped me at various times throughout my purchase, also not forgetting Alex Kerr who secured a great mortgage deal. I hope my review doesn’t sound like the Oscars but if there was one for estate agents they would get my vote.

It's been great dealing with Bernard Skinner when we purchased our house in Eltham back in 2014, and also when we sold our house in 2019.  They are extremely professional and have an excellent local knowledge.  Would definitely recommend them!

I would definitely recommend Bernard Skinner to anyone thinking about selling their property. The team handling my sale was very professional; at the same time, I felt really looked after as a client. This caring attitude and kindness go a long way. Thank you, Bernard Skinner -  your team is your greatest asset!

Sadly I tend to discount reviews that appear too glowing, but find myself having to write such a review following our experience with the Eltham branch of Bernard Skinner, and in particular Amanda White, one of their partners. 
We recently sold my late mother’s house and - based largely on alphabetical order - chose Bernard Skinner to handle the sale. Their service throughout was exceptional - providing a prompt and very accurate market valuation; arranging an energy survey; advising on a choice of solicitors; arranging and conducting a large number of viewings; keeping us informed throughout the process of progress and the status of each potential purchaser and - in spite of a lengthy delay while probate was granted - managing all aspects of the sale through to completion. 
I would have no reservations about recommending their services, and will be using Bernard Skinner when we come to sell our own house.

Bernard Skinner helped us find our wonderful house and were great about getting us in on time (after a bit of a mad dash at the end!) Professional and friendly estate agents who are a pleasure to work with and great advocates for their clients.

A really professional service.  Bernard Skinner's advice in relation to the sale price was positive and realistic. I had valuations from other local and national agents which proved to be wide of the mark given our eventual sale-price. I opted for Bernard Skinner as the advice was based on the most up to date market information regarding comparable properties. We had more than a dozen viewings in the first few days of the house being marketed and had accepted an offer within a week. This meant that the process of selling our home was stress-free. Everything was handled with minimum fuss and intrusion and Scott, Amanda, and Stephen made sure communication between us and the buyers was clear and efficient.

The staff were friendly and helpful and provided a comprehensive service.  They know the local market very well and found a wonderful couple who bought the property.  It was nice that they showed prospective buyers around the property.

I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Very professional and friendly staff. Property purchase was processed in a very short time thanks to the agency.

I am very happy that we met the team of Steven and Amanda.They are professional and very patient ?they have provided us with a lot of helps. we are very satisfied with their excellent service.

I have found the whole team at Bernard Skinner to be highly professional and very supportive throughout the sale of my property.  Their timely communication and knowledge helped to keep the sale on track to its conclusion.  I would definitely recommend Bernard Skinner Estate Agents.

I found Bernard Skinner to be an outstanding company.  They were excellent at communication throughout the process.  Staff were reactive and responsive. I have no hesitation in recommending this company.

From day 1 the service provided by Steve Pender and his colleagues at Bernard Skinner Eltham has been second to non.

We were guided and supported through each stage of the 'selling process' from the initial valuation  to the exchange of contracts , which in total took an amazing 6.5 weeks.

Selling , as we know, can be a 'daunting process' , but with the right Estate Agent setting the  right price and supporting you all the way , it's no so bad.

We would highly recommend Bernard Skinner to anyone that is  thinking of selling their property. 

Big thank you to Steve and his colleagues.
Regards Elvy & Pam

I was very happy with the service I received from Amanda and Steven and would have no hesitation in recommending Bernard Skinner to a potential buyer or seller.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bernard Skinner.  We bought a house through them and they were extremely professional and personable and made what is a very stressful process seamless.

Great service and very friendly staff. We had plenty of viewings and sold Mums house quickly.

I recently had to sell my fathers house, and required valuations etc. Whilst I engaged more than one estate agent for this purpose, I was most impressed with the service of Bernard Skinner for this task. Once I was ready to sell I chose Bernard Skinner and started the process. All of the team Scott, Stephen & Amanda were terrific and managed the advertising, sale and chased from start to finish is a thoroughly professional and efficient way. I would highly recommend This estate agent to anyone whishing to sell, buy or rent.

I have live in Eltham since 1989 and unfortunately I am now departing from the area.  During my time here I have been involved in the buying and selling of a number properties and for each transaction I have made a point of always using Bernard Skinner.   Being a small local estate agents with a wealth of knowledge of the area, you get a warm, friendly and efficient service.  I would recommend them highly.

The staff at Bernard Skinner were unfailingly prompt, polite and proactive in our sale. Information was always available and enquiries were answered rapidly and efficiently. i thoroughly recommend their services.

We engaged the services of Bernard Skinner through recommendation and throughout the process Amanda and her staff,and colleagues have been consummate professionals. We would hesitate in giving Bernard Skinner the highest marks in provision of getting property properly sold. Thank you .

The service provided to me by Steven and colleagues at Bernard Skinner in Eltham was exceptional throughout the process of my house purchase. Always available, always on the ball, always caring and always very helpful in keeping me informed of progress. I could not wish for anything better. I highly recommend them.

We would highly recommend using Bernard Skinner.  Steve and the team have been professional throughout the selling period.   Every week we received a call or an email giving us updates on what stage we were at.   The whole team were very informative, polite and professional at all times.   It has been a pleasure to work with them.

The service was exceptional. professional, efficient, friendly and very helpful.  My wife and I have nothing but praise for the company and those that work there.
Barbara and Dennis Storey

Amanda and Steven were very helpful throughout the process. They were always available and replied to emails promptly.

Stephen and Amanda provided good advice and support and managed our viewers and buyers very well.

Steve and Amanda and Sam have all been amazing throughout the whole moving experience and I would certainly recommend them to anyone that needs a local agent in the SE9 area... No problem is too big or small for them and they help you in whatever way they can if its a phone call or popping into the office... Thank you so much for all your help..

We employed Bernard Skinner to sell our house and could not have been happier with our decision. Not only is their level of professionalism of the highest quality, they are also extremely friendly and straight talking. Stephen & Sam helped us every step of the way & were always on hand to answer my inane questions! I can't recommenced then highly enough

Awesome customer care, always available, always ready to give support. I went there and started to to deal with them to buy a house, they always kept me updated, with honest, down to earth advise. Steven, Amanda and Sam, are top notch in this business. Definitely a thumbs up. Extremely good, 6 stars if available.

Bernard Skinner was the most professional of the three local estate agents that we approached to sell our house and they have been friendly, accessible and efficient throughout the last three months. I particularly appreciated their, regular contact when things seemed to be in the doldrums and their ability to keep me informed about what was happening with the various solicitors in the chain. Many thanks to Amanda, Sam and Steven.

We have just sold through Bernard Skinner and been delighted throughout the sale. Their local knowledge is invaluable  for a smooth transaction along with their great communication and advise.

Bernard Skinner was the best choice for selling mum's house in Eltham;  Amanda's local knowledge and the excellent service made for a stress free and successful experience

We recently bought a property in Mottingham through Bernard & Skinner. Received an extremely professional service from them, especially Steven who looked after our case. He kindly arranged two follow up visits at a short notice. He contacted vendors on our behalf about a few issues that needed clarification and communicated back to us promptly. We were regularly informed about the progress of the deal at every step. Both of us (my wife & I) would recommend them. My wife bought her first property through them as well. We will happy to use their services again in future, although this might mean that I ended up winning that Euro-millions jackpot eventually ????

Rajni & Suneel

The service I received from Amanda and Stephen was of the highest quality. Our sale was a difficult one born from the lost of our dear Mum but through out we were treated with compassion  and kept constantly updated.

   I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend or use them again.

 Thank You

I wish I could score "Bernard Skinner" ten stars because I certainly would! This estate agent have a totally caring , hard working bunch of people working in the office who are committed to supporting their clients every step of the way. I have spoken to many members of the team and they are all knowledgeable, patient and  helpful.. They do not offer the usual "sales talk" There  is a genuine sense  of care and commitment to the client and without the whole "supportive  package"  offered to me,  the selling of my property would have been a complete nightmare!   I would only urge ANYONE thinking of buying / selling  to look no further than "Bernard Skinner" - I cannot praise or thank them enough!

Excellent service. Regular updates on negotiations and then proactively checked up on progress with valuers and lawyers.

Bernard Skinner were professional throughout. They provided an excellent advert of our home and sent only seriously interested potential buyers to see the house. We sold just prior to Christmas and completed/moved on March 24th. BS recommended local solicitors who performed well and were able to exchange & complete on the same day at the request of the buyer at the bottom of the chain. BS kept in touch throughout the process.

Very happy with the service from Bernard Skinner. Having dealt with countless estate agents in London they are definitely one of the very few that I would recommend. Happy to accommodate several viewings, even after the offer was accepted, without any pressurised sales. Amanda has also kept in contact and assisted with keeping the process on track right through to completion, which is appreciated.

Excellent service, got the price we wanted and lots of viewers

I approached Bernard Skinner, a well established family run estate agency, initially to obtain a valuation on my property. I felt I was given good advice, that the valuation was appropriate and my views were taken into account. I enquired as to how long it would take should I decide to put my property on the market, expecting it to be a few weeks. I was informed that after photographs being taken the following Monday the property would be on the market the next evening. I trusted the estate agent completely, choosing not to be at viewings, which followed immediately and accepted an offer in less than a week. The whole process was very smooth and professionally dealt with throughout. I would thoroughly recommend Bernard Skinner to anyone looking to sell and in fact already have!

We had an extremely good experience with Bernard Skinner. The service was very professional and we were updated on a weekly basis, and received all correspondence promptly. In particular, we were pleased with the service provided by Steven Pender, who was the negotiator for our sale; Steven is a highly experienced estate agent, who offered sound advice and steered us successfully through the process.

Having lived in our house for 45 years it was time to downsize. From when we first arrived in Eltham Bernard Skinner has always been there and so we chose them as we thought they would understand our needs and know the area like the back of their hand, which proved to be the case. Despite the hiccups along the way they kept us informed and calmed down. Our move is now underway and so "Thank You" for all your time, effort and constant reassurance that we needed along the way. Couldn't have done it without you.

Very professional service and the most straightforward and hassle free house transaction I've ever completed.  Personal service given throughout the whole time.

I viewed a property via this agent and was told the other person who had made an offer was definitely  out of the running as they have wasted the agents and sellers time, the term used was 'archived'. Once I tried to request a second viewing the agent then told me that the there was still an offer on the table for the property and that there was little point of a viewing. I was then asked how much I would offer and then when they heard the amount I was point blank refused access to a second viewing. I was blocked at every turn in looking at the property. I thought it was up to the seller to determine which offers were good not the estate agent?. I didn't know that estate agents were telling people how much money they should spend on a property which is what I was told...firmly. If I cannot get at least a second viewing how can I know if I want to offer full asking ? This agent wanted me to tell her that I would offer the full before she would even book the appointment. I think this practice is disgusting. Obviously a place I would avoid in the future.

Amanda and the whole team at Bernard Skinner have been absolutely incredible during our move. It's not been the easiest move but Amanda was on hand whenever we needed her and has been instrumental in getting us across the line. Could not recommend them highly enough. Amazing customer care and support, amazing knowledge of the process and a huge amount of hard work from them. I'd give 10 stars if I could.

I'm (was!) a first time buyer searching for houses in Eltham not knowing anything about the area having lived in Ealing for 28 years. From the first viewing with Steven I felt I will find a house with Bernard Skinner. He introduced me to the area, was always available to answer my questions in a professional and caring manner. Great service!
