Ross helped us with our current house, I must say whilst keeping high level of professionalism he was so personable and empathetic all through out the purchase of our house, despite busy schedule he gave us multiple viewing on the house. There aren't many estate agents that you can trust and are genuine but I highly recommend this estate agent specially Ross. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us buy this beautiful house. Looking forward to working with you again. Yasmin... Read more

I may be bias as went to school with the manager of the Walton branch, Ben. However, together with Steve in Weybridge they provide the best personal touch, genuine lovely and reliable crowd.

From the first consultation with Martin, all of the viewings with other staff and right up to completion with Ben the whole company have been fantastic. The communication has been absolutely brilliant which in general made our selling process really smooth and easy. Even when things (out of our control) with other buyers / sellers started to look awkward their professionalism and calming influence was fantastic. If I move again I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in putting my house on the market with Martin Flashman & Co.... Read more

We have just purchased our first house through Martin Flashman and received a first class service throughout. There is little wonder as to why MF’s boards are so prevalent in the area. Jack’s knowledge, professionalism and advice was exceptional from start to finish and he went above and beyond to keep us informed along the entire process. We would use their services again without hesitation. Sincere thanks and see you when we’re looking to sell!... Read more

Very happy indeed with the experience - the third time I have used Martin Flashman. Appreciated the really sound advice on the valuation and timing of putting the property on the market, at a really uncertain time for the economy due to the first Covid lockdown. We proceeded with the initial advice given by Martin Flashman, and then Darrell Domingo handled the sale process from the almost immediate offer at pretty much bang on asking price, and was an excellent communicator throughout the process. We will definitely use Martin Flashman again as a highly professional, friendly and super efficient operator. We have tried one of the other local agents (well known, with multiple branches) previously on both a sale and a purchase and been let down. Can't recommend Martin Flashman company highly enough....

Everywhere I go I see the green and white signs of Martin Flashman & Co and now I know why... as Darrell and the team were there at every step of the way in helping me get the house I wanted for me and my boys to grow up in. The process took a tad longer than expected but at all times Darrell was there to keep me informed and reassure me all was still ok. From finding suitable properties to view to then advising me about what needed to be done, he was on the money. So thanks again for finding not only this home but one for the sellers as well to complete the chain! A complete service.... Read more

When I was looking to buy, I noticed Martin Flashman were the sole agents for a large chunk of the properties, now I know why.
I dealt with Alastair who really set himself apart from the rest of the competition, there weren't any pushy sales techniques, he took on board my requirements, kept in contact and was very honest.
Throughout the whole buying process, Alastair went above and beyond in so many ways, also, he was always easy to get hold of and returned my calls immediately, unlike some other agents.
I can't recommend Martin Flashman highly enough.... Read more

My whole experience with this agent has been faultless, from valuation to completion of sale. Alastair has been supportive and helpful during the whole process, always in communication with regards to updates and any queries and available for anything I needed. I had initially purchased the property through this agent so already knew that they were well respected in the area and I would absolutely agree from a sellers perspective now. Thanks to all of the team and particularly Alastair, for making this whole experience easy and stress free!!... Read more

I know a number of local agents personally, but opted to go with Alastair who I have known for many years when listing my property.
The market was fairly quiet, but within a few weeks, Ben had sourced a suitable buyer for my property. I took a risk in selling without an on-going purchase, luckily enough I was able to move in with family if I didn't find a property in time. Ben kept everything on track and made the process extremely smooth, he helped to agree solutions that worked for all parties.
During my search, I viewed a number of potential properties with both the Walton and Weybridge offices of Martin Flashman. I found the whole team to be professional, personable and knowledgeable. I dealt with Andrew in the Weybridge office a number of times, in fact, Andrew showed me a property that made me list my property on the market initially.
The sale went through as planned and I was pleased with the offer achieved, particularly given the market conditions. My on-going search had been running for over 12 months at the point of completion, this is partially due to beginning with a very broad search area and eventually narrowing the criteria down.
Within a week of completing, I was able to find my ideal property, so the risk of selling without an on-going purchase really paid off. My only regret is that I purchased in an area not covered by Martin Flashman, otherwise, I would have been delighted to buy through them too... Read more

My wife and I met Darrell at a property in Walton-on-Thames yesterday and I just want to say what a fantastic job he did.
We have looked at quite a few other properties with other companies and the level of professionalism and knowledge was unmatched.
It's not often I have time to write positive reviews like this but it was a breath of fresh air to have a sales representative have full knowledge and understanding of the property.
We were actually recommended to work with your company so you must be doing something right.... Read more

Ross was professional and efficient from the get go, arranging for me to see several properties at once in the area, all of which fitted my criteria. We ended up making an offer on a house he had chosen to show us, and we've been really impressed with Ross's proactiveness throughout the process. He provided valuable support at every stage and approached our purchase with a sense of humour and cheerfulness that made a potentially stressful time really easy for us. Thank you Ross!... Read more

There is sometimes negative connotations associated with estate agents, but from the start, Ben went above and beyond to understand the property we were looking for and had a wealth of knowledge about the areas we were interested in. We are still ‘on the hunt’ for the right property, but unlike 90% of other agents, Ben understands what we are after and only sends over suitable properties. I can’t recommend Martin Flashman highly enough! 5* star service... Read more

Darrell was easy to communicate with, extremely proactive at every step of the process, and always came up with very productive and practical solutions to the problems that inevitably presented themselves along the way, often very creatively so. At the start of the process, we visited many agents, and Darrell distinguished himself from the get-go. He then got in touch with just the right property, and then managed the negotiation and subsequent process very professionally. I honestly don't know how we would have fared with our first purchase of a UK property, with fairly specific requirements, if it wasn't for Darrell. I am a retiree with 3 decades of experience in the service industry, almost all client-facing, so I know what I'm talking about when I say that Darrell is a star. We thank God for sending us his way!... Read more

EXCELLENT SERVICE - We were buying in Walton and although we were not the Clients Ross Dudley, the agent dealing with the sale, did everything possible to help us complete in the short timescale we needed. The vendors had moved away and there were some communication problems with their solicitors as well as other issues to be sorted out and Ross went out of his way to facilitate solutions to the problems. He did a great job for the vendors and we also felt properly looked after as purchasers. I would certainly recommend this local independent agency in Walton.... Read more

I recently bought through Martin Flashman, working with Alastair Read.
Alastair was absolutely fantastic. Before buying a couple of months ago, I had been house-hunting for almost a year. In that time, I had dealt with quite a few estate agents, and I have to admit my opinion of the industry as a whole had rather soured.
On finding the property I bought advertised and I getting in contact with Martin Flashman, I was pleasantly surprised. Alastair was very helpful, flexible, and moved quickly (getting me a first thing appointment to view the property the next day) and not at all pushy. Viewing the property, Alastair highlighted both the positives and the negatives of the property, giving me a good appreciation of what I was looking at buying. My questions, both then and after, were answered quickly and knowledgeably.
Being fairly new to house buying - a first time buyer - I did not have experience going into making an offer. I was very happy to find Alastair was fair to both myself and the seller, getting us a quick sale that we were both happy with, and turning it around incredibly quickly. After getting in contact about the property at about 5pm, by close of play the next day I had already seen the property, made an offer, and had it accepted.
Following the offer being accepted, Alastair continued to be great to work with, sorting out any issues I had very quickly. Whilst he checked in to make sure I was on track with mortgage and conveyancing, he did not pressure me and continued supporting where necessary.
I would absolutely recommend Alastair and Martin Flashman, and in fact have done a couple of times already.... Read more

After listing a property with Martin Flashman, who had tied me into a 6-MONTH contract, I found it to be a very disappointing service. After 2-months on the market they got me an offer of £200k. I told them that was so insulting that it didn't deserve a reply, and when I spoke to Martin Flashman to ask why they would encourage such a low offer, his reply was that I can go and list it with someone else if I want to, but he has a 6-month contract and if I sell it through someone else, I'll be paying 2 estate agents fees. I waited for that contract to expire before I sold the house in Feb, 2010 through Gascoigne & Pees and they found me a buyer who met the full asking price of £250k within 2-weeks!
I had bought through Martin Flashman before and I generally value the idea of dealing with small businesses because I appreciate being able to speak directly to the boss. However, these are not the sort of folks I'd advise selling through, not if you want either a fair price, or a timely transaction. I can only speak for myself, but I will never sell through MF again, and I can't say I found Mr Flashman to be the sort of person I'd want to be dealing with ever again. ... Read more

A* recommendation for the whole team at Martin Flashman. We bought our house from them and had an incredibly professional and friendly service throughout - I always felt in good hands and they managed my expectations brilliantly. Having dealt with many estate agents in the last few years I wouldn't say that about many. MF definitely changed my mind about estate agents in general! Thanks Ben and team, we'll be back one day...
