Boydens have been absolutely brilliant from the very first contact I had with them all the way through to now months renting with them. Every member of the team is so friendly, professional and genuine, and they made what can be such a daunting process really smooth and exciting. They were especially patient when I had so many questions and went the extra mile to show me different rental options! They are very quick and efficient when responding to issues and always happy to give helpful advice. The biggest difference I noticed from other estate agents is how down to earth their communication is, yet always very polite and professional at the same time. I would definitely recommend! ????...

I had the worst experience with Boydens letting arm of the business, avoid at all costs if you value not losing sleep. The house I rented was sub-standard as corners had been cut in its refurbishment, which meant endless visits from contractors to resolve the issues. The monthly rental cost was also quite dear for a tiny terraced house, with an out of touch landlord based overseas. To detail the attic water tank leaked, the shower leaked into the kitchen ceiling as the shower tray hadn’t been sealed properly, the sink/kitchen worktops also hadn’t been sealed properly meaning a brief shutdown of half the house’s electricity due to water getting into the switches behind the worktops. To top that all the house was a mould haven, so much mould in various places, that it was genuinely a health concern. At the end of the tenancy after all these issues, as well as little compassion or empathy from Boydens, they tried to charge an extortionate amount of extra charges on the zero deposit scheme. To cut a long story short, most of the charges were dropped after I challenged them as they hadn’t done the end of tenancy checks properly and/or were trying it on. As for the cleaning charge, we came to an agreement where a third of their initial demand was paid, which seemed fair for the small amount of cleaning that remained. This situation happened over the course of a one-year tenancy which ended just over a year ago, they may have improved since but be wary. I’ve since had a much better experience with a different, more competent estate agent.... Read more

Fantastic, quick and efficient service from the team at Boyden Colchester. From the moment of enquiring about the property, Nathan was quick to arrange a same day viewing for the property I was keen on. At the viewing, Debbie welcomed me and made me feel very informed and comfortable and was a pleasure to speak to. She really went above and beyond and made sure there was no time to waste as I was urgent to move; she really wrapped things up for me in the space of 24 hours!! Definitely recommend the fantastic team here and the service they provide! Very very happy!... Read more

I asked Boydens to find me a tenant for a rental property I own. From the beginning to the end of the process I was guided by Nathan Hey. He was totally professional, very helpful and gave swift responses to any questions I had. He kept me updated, all the paperwork was in order and I received first class service. I received a level of attention second to none from Boydens. I would definitely recommend them.... Read more
