During the viewing my wife was asked about her foreign accent simultaneously being scanned ("checked-out") flirtatiously in front of me. We had an impression we’d been also hastened. At least they were keeping somewhat of a fair communication. You’ll probably figure out the rest.... Read more

Fantastic service from Chris and the team! I recently sold my rental property and I was seriously impressed with the knowledge and advice provided by Chris, all delivered with a personal touch. Once the property was ready to market, Chris and the team secured a number of offers within a couple of weeks, and again, he was always available to provide advice on which offer to accept. Throughout the sale process Chris and Jade kept me informed along the way, ensuring the whole transaction went through smoothly. I can’t recommend them enough - great value for money!... Read more

Chris and his team Jade and Elaine have been absolutely fantastic. They have been the most professional estate agents I have EVER come across (rented a lot in the past. They are easily contactable and have always addressed any issue I have had, promptly and efficiently. They made the whole process of moving easy and were very helpful! They are also extremely friendly and the check out process was smooth and they were very fair. Regretfully I have had to move however, given the chance, I would definitely rent or even buy with them in the future. Thank you Chris and team!... Read more

I've been a tenant in the same property with Chris Ball for almost 4 years. Elaine who deals with the rentals has always been prompt and efficient in dealing with any issues and repairs. Landlords can be reassured that their properties are in safe hands and managed well.... Read more

We contacted the agency today to enquire about a property. The agent was so rude and unprofessional. We received comments like “Well if you’re going to have dogs and rent then you’re probably not going to find anything“… he also rhetorically asked..”and how would you plan to keep two dogs in such a small house?! How would that work?” ????? …In the same way it has been working with our last two landlords who will give you the best references/feedback. We totally understand and accept if a landlord/property management company follow a “no pets” policy but being argumentative and judgmental towards a potential customer it’s totally unacceptable and unprofessional....

Could not even be bothered to turn up to a viewing and very rude on the phone when querying where the agent was.Confirmed times before travelling 30 minutes to the appointment. Does not bode well for what kind of service you will get if you rent a property with them, if they can not turn up for viewings. Edit:It was booked under our Daughter in laws name but we went to the viewing for her. We would not like to book another viewing as already booked time off and a 30 minute drive is a bit far if you are not going to show up again.... Read more

God is good! I had a good experience with the agency. I have rented a detached house for the last two years, with peace of mind and without disruptions. On moving out I have received grace: a curtain has shrunk a little bit after washing but it was not a big issue. A few days ago my full bond amount has been sent back to my bank account. May God bless them during this unprecedented times!... Read more

I rented a property with them for six months (the minimum length for the lease) and it was a nightmare. Firstly after paying the security deposit only to be told that an engineer needed to come and fix things in the apartment. Lord knows what the engineer fixed cause when I moved into the property there was no heating in both bedrooms. I was told the apartment had under floor heating (only to find out that did not include the bedrooms) I was in the apartment for 4 weeks sleeping in a freezing cold room until I sent a very angry email. The landlord sent some ridiculously cheap portable convector heaters. The counter in the kitchen was broken, could not put any weight on it ( how you don’t notice something like that I don’t know) had to contact them to get it fixed. The big bedroom had mould on the windows. I could go on about everything that was wrong with the apartment. On my checkout day Chris actually turned to me and said ‘why didn’t you tell us you were looking for another property, we could have found you something else’ I said nothing while thinking after my experience with them I would not trust Chris balls estate agents as far as I could throw them....

I have used Chris Ball Estates three times in the past 6 years and would highly recommend this local family agent. In particular the last time I used their services I was overwhelmed by the fantastic help I received. I was in a position where I desperately wanted to get my house on the market and having explained my circumstances to Pam & Carol they worked wonders to achieve that. Furthermore they then managed to sell my property in equally quick time - I cannot tell you how highly I valued the professional service I received, friendly and always helpful they allowed my family to subsequently move into our dream home. I will always be so grateful for the support they provided and would recommend this superb agency to anyone.... Read more

Called to arrange a viewing of a flat but had to call several times before I could get a time and date. They called the day of the viewing to rearrange for another day but when I arrived at the rescheduled time no one from Chris Ball was there. The flat was behind a code access gate and the office phones were not being answered. I waited 20 minutes and left. I certainly wouldn't try to view another property through Chris Ball.... Read more
