Hy hope you well, when I shared my feedback via email, the lady named Donna , she refused to provide service or booked us an other viewing for a property that we were interested in! It’s really not acceptable and truly unprofessional behaviour! If you are working in a customer service department you need to make sure each and everyone feel very comfortable or have the rights to share their experiences, based on that you cannot just deny the services….never came across with something like this before ! It’s my first time experiencing like this ! Truly disappointed….. you need to high up your customer service level! I will not recommend this company to anyone or closed people’s around me..
thanks again
Kind regards

We recently sold our home with Hunt Roche Thorpe Bay Branch and have been thoroughly impressed with the service provided. Ethan was so professional and easy to deal with when getting our home ready for sale and showing to potential buyers. Paul Wigmore was fantastic at keeping us informed during the sale process and helped us understand the legal process when information was lacking from our own solicitor, which helped to relieve a lot of the stress we were feeling, really couldn't ask for a better team, would recommend them to anyone buying or selling a home in the local area.

We had an excellent experience purchasing a property through Hunt Roche. Paul was very professional and went above and beyond to assist with the progress of the purchase where delays were met. His local knowledge was certainly helpful in navigating obstacles such as local restrictive covenants. The communication throughout the process was excellent and we felt well-informed throughout. Thank-you!

Paul Wigmore is one of the loviest people you could ever wish to meet and deal with. He is 100% reliable and always rings back after one leaves a message for him. The whole process of selling my mother’s home was rather tricky and long winded but thanks to Paul and his team and their hard work and patience we got there in the end. Mum is now in a lovely bungalow that she is delighted with.

Generally an amazing Estate Agency. I've had nothing but golden stars to give to them for their politeness, and swift responses when in need of help. Alexandra is probably one of the nicest agents I've ever dealt with. Really chuffed. Thanks Hunt Roche.

We can not thank Hunt Roach Thorpe Bay enough for helping us find our dream home. The service and help we received has been exceptional . They worked so hard from beginning to end so that everything ran smoothly , we had our own estate agents who we appointed for our sale but Hunt Roach was far superior and so professional.
We would not hesitate to recommend Hunt Roach and Paul Wigmore , even questions I have raised post completion have been answered almost immediately.

Paul helped us with all aspects of sale of our mum's home after she died. His sensitive, patient and honest advice was invaluable as I hadn't acted as an executor before.
We live 350 miles away so Paul's willingness to attend viewings and manage some of the other practical aspect was appreciated so much by us.
If you are looking for great service from a highly competent estate agent I would recommend speaking to Hunt Roche.

Paul Wigmore visited to view the property and take down the details, and I knew right away that this was the Estate Agent for me!

We used Hunt Roche to sell our bungalow. Right from the start when Ethan came to value our property, we were really impressed with Ethan’s professionalism and he really stood out from all the other agents who had visited that day. Due to the market at the time we struggled to sell the property at first but we still continued to have viewings and weekly updates from Ethan and we’re constantly keep in the loop. We had every faith in Hunt Roche and this is why we decided to stay with them rather than change agents…. Which we were right to do as they sold our property at a very good price. The sales progresser Ben, constantly gave us and our buyers regular updates and worked very closely with our solicitors.
We throughly enjoyed working with Ethan, Paul and Ben throughout our sale and would highly recommend using them as an agent. We were adamant we didn’t want to work with a stereotypical, Jack the lad type of agent and wanted someone who cared about us and our home and Ethan and the team were exactly what we wanted. Such a personable, friendly team who we had every faith in and we would absolutely use them again.
Thank you for all your hard work.

I cannot speak highly enough about Hunt Roche who sold my house in October, Paul one of the directors personally listed my property and his wealth of local knowledge was quite evident from the start. The office kept me fully informed throughout the whole sales process without me having to constantly phone them. .They followed up and chased the solicitor all the time and likewise with the purchaser and their agent. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and know exactly who you are when you phone , and an extra shout out to Ben who was the negotiator handling my sale , he is extremely professional and supportive with the benefit of great back up from the whole team .As an ex estate agent myself of over 30 years I feel extremely happy to highly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying, selling or renting.

Based on selling my property recently I would highly recommend Hunt Roche. Ethan, Paul and Ben were excellent. I initially met Ethan who walked me through the process, he worked so fast that I had multiple offers for the property within one week. Paul provided me with extremely detailed feedback from each viewer and guided me and managed the offer process. Last but definitely not least, Ben was on hand whenever I needed an update on the sale. However, the most important aspect of all is that the team at Hunt Roche, Thorpe bay know their market and that they take the time to understand their clients needs.

High praise for Paul, Ben and the team from Hunt Roche! Our property flew off the shelf at near to full asking price due to the excellent marketing and professional handling from the team.

Having worked in the property finance sector for over 20 years, and dealt with numerous estate agents over that time, I knew I had to choose wisely when it came to selling my own house.
From the moment I first met Paul, Sheena and Shaun I knew I had made the correct choice.
Their professionalism was second to none, their communication was clear and precise (which is both refreshing and rare in the estate agency world) and above all else, they gave a real sense that they had my best interests at heart in trying to sell my property at the best price, and equally as importantly, to the best clients.
My wife and I often received calls from Sheena after normal working hours and at weekends giving us updates, or asking if we could entertain a viewing at short notice.
It was this attention to detail and sheer doggedness in their desire to sell our house that made me write this review. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone, and will certainly use them again when looking to buy or sell my next house.

Hunt Roche kept us informed and offered advice throughout the sales process. Our first sale fell through but they quickly found another buyer. They continued to stay in contact throughout the COVID lockdown, even when working remotely, and offered assistance to help in any way they could, even unrelated to the sale itself, just to help us stay stress free. Great work. Loved that they were not pushy for the sale, just professional, helpful, understanding and responsive. Would 100% recommend and would use again (although don't want to move again LOL). I felt they cared, and that the outcome had to be right, and didn't feel we were just a client for the money. The staff were always friendly and prompt to respond.

We asked Paul and his team at Hunt Roche to help us sell our Mum’s house. They were incredibly professional from their first visit by Paul, sale negotiation by Ethan literally within a few days of going on the market immediately before lockdown and fantastic progression by Ben which meant we completed at the earliest practical opportunity as lockdown lifted. Nothing was an issue for the Hunt Roche team and we would highly recommend them.

Hunt Roche have managed several properties for us during the last 6 years and cover the whole process of finding suitable tenants, keeping us compliant with any legal changes which occur, visiting tenants regularly to ensure everything is in order and that our tenants are happy. We have found Hunt Roche to be very efficient and all the staff deal quickly with any repair problems which inevitably arise. The reason we chose Hunt Roche as our managing agent is that they were recommended to us and it has been a good choice!

Having used Hunt Roche on various occasions, I have found them to be extremely professional with both Lettings & Sales. They do a very thorough job of running checks on tenants and follow up on references, which is very reassuring when letting a property. They are very good at photographing properties and give good tips on presenting it ready for sale. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend their agency.

We've been renting a flat for about a year now, we nearly missed out on it but our agent Courtney was very helpful and she did everything she could because we really wanted this flat. When we decided to have a cat, Courtney helped us with that too, she talked to the landlady and we got the green light. We couldn't have asked for a better agent, Courtney is lovely and professional ???? We would definitely recommend this firm.

I put my two bedroom apartment up for sale in February 2019 with Purple Bricks and after 2/3 months of non activity I contacted Hunt Roche within a week I had a few viewings and sold my property. The sale fell through which was not down to Hunt Roche but i was very impressed with the speed they found a 2nd buyer and got my flat to completion. Ben the sale negotiator was brilliant throughout. If you are looking for a local estate agent that knows the area very well then you cant go wrong with Hunt Roche. Would recommend them above any online estate agent

Changed our minds about estate agents completely! The entire team at Hunt Roche were exceptional to deal with. Paul was particularly amazing and handled all the negotiations, keeping us fully in the loop at every step. Honesty and transparency was important for us and we felt completely at ease with Paul and the entire team, from Dee at the start of the process organising all our appointments and viewings, through to Ben managing the sale and purchase of our properties. Hunt Roche also treated our buyers fantastically well and kept the whole chain updated. In the solicitors process, Ben was incredibly diligent and did all the managing and chasing of solicitors in a short timeframe. I couldn't recommend them enough.

In Autumn 2018 I needed advice about what had been a home to two generations of my family for some 40 years. Although I had not lived there I had been a frequent visitor and it was important to me.
It had been my intention to consult a couple of Agents however after advice from Director Paul Wigmore of Hunt Roche I decided that no further advice was necessary and that as and when we wanted to begin marketing the instruction would be theirs. Paul's advice had been clear, concise and gave confidence.
When in May of 2019 it was decided to sell I, naturally, went back to Hunt Roche. The marketing plan was clear and effective and members of the Hunt Roche team were friendly and efficient when either arranging or giving feedback on viewings, results of negotiations or when progress chasing.
The sale was drawn to a most satisfactory conclusion, not only to me, but I hope, to the buyers.
In conclusion I should add that I was in the business of Agency for some 40 years nationally. I long believed that sellers want to hear two things - we will sell your home and we will do it as painlessly as possible - Paul and his team at Hunt Roche did both.

We recently bought our new home through Hunt Roche and I can honestly say the service and help we received particularly from Shaun and Ben was outstanding. There were a few moments further down our chain when it looked like everything was going to fall through but Shaun stepped in and went above the call of duty to get everything back on track.
Without the efforts of Shaun and his team we would not be lucky enough to be sitting in our dream home right now. The follow up service from acceptance of offer to overseeing the chain through to completion is the way all estate agents should work but rarely do and Hunt Roche do it exceptionally well.
If I ever buy or sell again I would use Hunt Roche, Thorpe Bay without hesitation. Thank you Shaun!

I recently purchased a property through Hunt Roche, Thorpe Bay. Although the purchase wasn’t straight forward, through no fault of Hunt Roche, I cannot praise them enough for the way they helped with the purchase. I was kept informed of the progress every step of the way through to final completion. If one person stands out it was a Ben who I mostly spoke with. Despite being pressurised by me he remained professional and helpful every step of the way.
I would most certainly recommend Hunt Roche if I were to either buy or sell a property in the future.

RENTALS: Not recommended for people looking to rent or for people looking to advertise their rental property with them! Awful service on more than 1 occasion. Called to view a house that was advertised as available for rent immediately on Rightmove. I was told it wasn't actually available for another 3 months. I advised that could still work for us and could we arrange a viewing? Was promised a call back and haven't heard anything since. My boyfriend stopped by their branch on The Broadway today and enquired about other properties coming up for rent now and in the next couple of months. He was told by a junior member of staff to come back in the month we'd like to move. This company needs to up their game when it comes to customer service.

Fantastic service! Shaun was very attentive and made the whole process of selling two houses and moving both my family and my elderly in-laws into a new property so much less stressful than we had imagined. We were on a tight move deadline and Shaun ensured we made it relatively unscathed. He recommended our surveyor and solicitor, both of whom were quick and thorough. Having previously purchased both houses as well as land we are used to having to chase solicitors and deal with their oversights, we had none of this with this move, we were the ones being chased by the solicitor! This is our "forever home" but will be pleased to recommend Hunt Roche to our friends.

i would like to say that i would not use these estate agents ever in my life again. Worst experience of my life will not respond to calls if there is any problem in the property.
When we moved in the property there were 13 main issues which we highlighting only few of them were fixed but at the end when we left after 6 months due to problems in the property we were charged for the issues which i initially highlighted.
We only Stayed in the property for 6 months due to so many problems and when we asked to repair and fix the problems, no response from Hunt Roche and always excuses.
The property was not fit for purpose and i have evidence of more than 35 emails where i have highlighted all the issues in the 6 months i stayed in the Property.
i am not worried about deposit they hold as it doesn't bother me but the stress i faced due to Hunt Roche in the 6 months period which is unforgettable
