I have recently purchased a property sold through Durden & Hunt, and they were fantastic throughout the whole process. Mark and Amanda did an incredible job to ensure completion eventually happened after a slightly longer than hoped for legal process. They are very on the ball and always asking for updates or keeping you updated. Both are a credit to the firm. Would highly recommend.... Read more

We had an excellent experience selling our property with durden and hunt and would not hesitate to recommend.
We previously had our property on the market a year ago and had no offers after months on the market. After we met with durden and hunt, we felt assured that they would fully commit to selling our property and before the property even went live, they were so proactive and finding buyers to come and view the property. Within a couple of days of the property being on the market, our property was sold.
We were really happy with all communications from putting our property on the market to the sale itself. Ray was fantastic and him and his team showed such professionalism and proactively. Ray is very experienced and him and the whole team seem incredibly hard working. We also dealt with Alex, who was really helpful in finding our buyer too. Amanda in the sales progression team was very helpful in pushing through both our sale and purchase and unbelievably, we managed to exchange and complete in less than two months, before the stamp duty deadline.
I would not hesitate to recommend durden and hung. It made such a difference in the stressful process having such an effective estate agents. We are very grateful for Ray and his team’s hard work.... Read more

My experience with Durden and Hunt has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very first interaction, their team (a huge shoutout to James Gibbon and Nicola) has been impressively communicative, proactive, and detail-oriented. They have handled the marketing of my property with such flair and precision that the listing went live today and I already have a viewing scheduled in just a few days.
James provided seamless guidance throughout the process, and his team’s expertise crafted a compelling advert (complete with beautiful photos) that have left me deeply impressed. The combination of their professionalism, speed, and genuine dedication is rare in this industry.
If you are looking for an estate agent who treats your home like their own and delivers fast results, Durden and Hunt are the clear choice. Five stars don’t feel sufficient.
Highly recommended.... Read more

I was looking to downsize from a house to a flat in my local area and began my search on Rightmove. I viewed 2 possible properties through Durden and Hunt and met Ray Phipps. Ray knows the area and was very sympathetic to the type of property I wanted. I decided to market my house with Durden and Hunt and I was surprised and pleased by the number of viewings arranged. The process of selling my house went quite smoothly and using the solicitor recommended by Durden and Hunt was a big help.... Read more

As first-time buyers, our understanding of the house-buying process was quite limited. My wife saw the flat and immediately contacted Durden & Hunt, as the property had just come back on the market. Ray and Alex have been very helpful, assisting us with viewings, enquiries and negotiating the price while guiding us through all the necessary steps until the sellers agreed on the terms. As many might know, the process can be quite lengthy, especially with solicitors. In this instance, Amanda from the sales progression team was very helpful in coordinating and pushing both parties through the process. After approximately three months, we managed to achieve our goal, and yesterday we finally exchanged contracts. Special thanks also to our brokers, Maria and Billy from Trinity Finance, who helped us throughout the year-long market search and secured our new home. We can’t wait to move in. Thanks everyone for the great service provided!... Read more

We first engaged with Durden & Hunt when viewing a property which we put an offer in on and were successful. We then had the buyer of our property pull out at the last minute and Ray Phipps immediately offered to market our property to try and find a quick sale so we could still secure the property we wanted. They got us several viewings in a two week period we had to try and sell our property, many more than our previous agent. While unfortunately the vendors of the property we had the offer accepted on did end up deciding to go with another offer, we did secure a buyer quickly and Ray and Amanda helped ensure it was as quick as possible and we were able to find another property. The speed and effectiveness and the marketing and the communication were all great and I would certainly recommend them.... Read more

Before using Durden & Hunt Wanstead our property was on with another local agent and in truth got little real interest, with no offers after several months.
Our experience with Durden & Hunt couldn’t have been more different. Ray in particular had a real determination to sell our property. He managed to do this not once but twice (after the first sale fell through) and we got multiple other offers on the property as well.
Once sale was agreed it was passed to Kezia and Amanda who both did a fantastic job of managing the chain and pushing us towards exchange.
We couldn’t be more thankful to the whole team!... Read more

First class from Ray, Alex and Mark. We have just exchanged today and it has happened so quickly despite having issues in the chain above. The experience of the staff in that office has, I believe, been the real difference.
We saw 4 agents in total and felt that Durden had the tools to get things done. Marketing is on a different level.
We would recommend to anybody thinking of selling as we are delighted with the service given.... Read more
