After struggling to sell my house I stumbled upon Big Black Hen. I decided to call them for an initial chat. I found them to be very professional, knowledge and they have me some great tips in order to finally sell my home.
We went ahead with Big Black Hen and there suggestions and hey presto, our house sold.
Ive since recommend Big Black Hen to my friends and family. Great service... Read more

We purchased a property for which Big Black Hen were the agents.
Both Nigel and Bobbie have been really attentive and the process of buying our first home - despite what everyone told us - has been really low stress.
Emails and calls all replied to promptly, they helped get measurements for appliances etc. Small things but all add up by the end of the purchase.... Read more

Nigel and Bobbie were both very professional and helpful in selling my mother's house. We were impressed with Nigel from the first meeting - he arranged an open day and found a buyer very quickly. The photos of the property were very professionally taken. We were kept informed all the way through and impressed by their efforts up to completion.... Read more

Nigel and Bobbie were a godsend when I was selling my house. They were first with any information and kept on at the buyers solicitor when they were stalling. Would definitely recommend them as a first rate company. Wonderful service from start to finish.... Read more

The flat in Hertford that I wanted to sell had been let out, and was in a shabby state. To begin with, I put it with the local Estate Agents, who over valued it, and advised me not to spend a penny on it, as any new purchaser would only redo it to his taste, and I would be wasting my money.
Six months later, despite two price reductions, I had not received a single offer.
So I searched around for a new Estate Agent, and the local letting agents, who we knew well, strongly recommended you. I followed your advise to give the flat a make over, and the offers then came in, and it has now been sold.
Thank you for your excellent and helpful advise, and I would have no hesitation in strongly recommending your company.... Read more

Estate agents get a hard time but Nigel and his team have worked hard to make sure they offer a service and standard that removes any concerns. They are honest, they go the extra mile with great advice and services like home staging and their fixed fees mean you know exactly where you are on charges. Don't sell your house without at least speaking to Nigel first.... Read more

Working with Nigel and Bobbie was an absolute joy.
They have been responsive and professional at all times, even when I was not sure of some procedures and I was getting anxious as I am living abroad. They reassured me and always gave advice with my best interests in mind.
I would definitely recommend them in the future to colleagues, friends and family.

Truly FANTASTIC - the level of service, professionalism, communication, tenacity, honesty and dedication which both Nigel and Bobbie displayed throughout the whole process was and is exemplary. We purchased our new home from Big Black Hen and therefore they were representing our vendors, however it very quickly became apparent that someone needed to take ownership of the whole chain, no easy task! This was largely down to solicitors, other agencies and other parties not pulling their weight. The way the whole process was managed by Big Black Hen was outstanding, especially when Bobbie is on the case, she leaves absolutely no stone unturned and will pull out all of the stops to get that answer!! I truly believe that without their support and extremely hard work, that this process just wouldn't have worked and certainly not within the timescales.... Read more
