We chose Michael Hardy in Crowthorne to sell our property and in difficult market conditions we finally managed to sell our house. The service we received from all the team at Michael Hardy was first class.
Every step along the way, we felt as if we were in good hands. After a comprehensive market valuation with Ben Biggs, excellent photos were taken, and house particulars were designed which we were very happy with. All viewings were arranged and confirmed by phone, email and text and feedback always followed, as well as regular review calls. Every member of the team: Ben, Jane, Daragh and Kirstie carried out viewings and all of them ensured they were familiar with the property and could advise potential buyers accordingly.
Once we had found a buyer, Jane Down, the Sales Progressor guided us through the next stage, advising us along the way. Despite several hurdles we had to get through before exchanging, she kept us, and our purchasers updated the whole way through ensuring we were part of all the negotiations needed.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Michael Hardy Crowthorne – a delightful, knowledgeable and personable team to deal with during what can be one of the most stressful life events.... Read more

When it came time to sell our family home, we chose Michael Hardy because we had used them also as rental agents. They worked very hard for us, gave us honest opinions and when we pushed for a quick sale via the solicitors - that's what we got. If you want honest, hardworking and fair - that's what you get....

We cannot praise Michael Hardy Estate Agents Crowthorne office enough. The sales team - Ben, Daragh and Kirstie, pulled out all stops and arranged 10 viewings when our home was first launched onto the internet. They brokered serval over asking price offers.
Regretfully our buyer later backed out, BUT the very same day, they sourced new buyers, as they knew their client database so well.
Jane, the Sales Progressor, has been beyond outstanding! Super-efficient and totally tenacious in the face of unhelpful, slow, inefficient solicitors, she has persevered and with the rest of the team, we have finally achieved Exchange. Her sympathy and understanding, have also been much appreciated.
We cannot recommend them highly enough if you are thinking of Selling.
Whilst the advertising, arranging viewings and taking offers is not easy, and they did this so well, it’s also about getting those offers to legally Exchange. They have consistently delivered an excellent service throughout this very long drawn-out process, (delays not down to them at all) and their high standards have not always been evidenced by everyone else in our chain.
They really do deserve every penny of their fee.... Read more

I purchased, let and sold my home (and also let and sold a rental property) with Michael Hardy between the years of 2011 and 2024.
Over those 13 years I dealt with multiple members of staff in their Crowthorne and Wokingham offices. They were alway highly attentive, courteous and helpful. Their fees are commensurate with the high quality of service provided.
I would recommend MH to anyone looking for a good quality estate agent with an expert working knowledge the local area.... Read more

We have been and continue to be really impressed by Michael Hardy; they have made our house purchase very smooth so far. We have exchanged and are currently waiting to complete.
Prior to our offer being accepted, Darragh and Ben were incredibly prompt with booking the viewings and resolving any queries we had - we never had to wait more than a couple hours by email.
Jane has been gone above and beyond in answering our many queries through the progression of the sale. She has been very patient and professional. Jane sold us our house in January 2018, so we have experienced her service as both a vender and buyer.
Thank you all for your hard work, dedication, and professionalism. We have been extremely satisfied with the service provided by Michael Hardy and we highly recommend you to anyone wanting to sell or buy a house. It is a great agency with excellent service.... Read more

Fantastic from start to finish - keeping me updated at all stages. Always exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable and understanding of the slightly unusual situation where I was buying a property for my mother rather than myself, and acting as her attorney. Jane Down in particular stood out as a brilliant member of the team, but everyone I spoke to was great. Thank you for everything!... Read more

We were delighted with the excellent service provided by Michael Hardy estate agents in selling our house, in what was a challenging market at the end of 2023. The marketing was spot on, and Ben relatively quickly secured a very good offer. When unfortunately this offer fell through due to other buyers at the bottom of the chain pulling out, he quickly secured a second satisfactory offer, which we accepted. He remained positive but realistic throughout, and kept us up to date at all times.
Jane then very efficiently and successfully saw the sale through to completion, was ever dynamic and positive, and managed all interactions with great tact and patience! She kept us regularly up to date about progress.
And Daragh stepped in as and when necessary - We really felt well looked after by the whole team - A very big thank you from us all!... Read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Michael Hardy in Crowthorne for purchasing our new home, and I must say they have been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. We were involved in a complex and lengthy chain of transactions, and without Jane's exceptional dedication and communication skills, I doubt we would have successfully exchanged our move.
Jane's ability to keep all parties informed and engaged was truly remarkable, and she played a pivotal role in bringing everything together seamlessly.
Additionally, Ben stepped in on the day of the exchange, a crucial moment that did not happen smoothly. He went above and beyond to ensure that everything progressed as needed, doing whatever it took to ensure a successful outcome.
Overall, I cannot thank Michael Hardy enough for their outstanding service. Their team's professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to their clients are commendable. If you are looking for an estate agency that will truly go the extra mile, I highly recommend Michael Hardy in Crowthorne. Thank you once again for making our home buying journey a success!...

I have had two dealings with Michael Hardy (Crowthorne) over the years and on each occasion, I've experienced a very personalised and fantastic service. The first time, they helped me purchase my house and that was very straight forward and just now, they helped sell my house. I did not even bother contacting other local agents as I was confident Michael Hardy were competitive, it wasn’t worth cutting corners with some of these DIY online estate agents, I knew Michael Hardy would be knowledgeable, trustworthy and would see the sale through by liaising up and down the chain and do whatever it takes to move things along. The service was easy from start to finish and the whole team have been on the ball, proactive, great communication, follow through on everything that has been discussed and agreed upon, keeping me up to date throughout the whole process. I would have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Michael Hardy and the team! Thank you so much!... Read more

The worst and last experience with Michael Hardy. I unreservedly do not recommend this company.
Response to MH: I believe you mean less than 50% of what the landlord and Michael Hardy had hoped for? A received SAR clearly demonstrated Michael Hardy’s intentions and commercial motivations. Furthermore, your response highlights the very reason why Michael Hardy is not recommended.... Read more

Be very careful with this agent. Allow people viewing the property to be left unattended. They left our property in an unsafe condition when we returned from holiday. Applied undue pressure and think it’s acceptable. If you raise a concern they become incredibly defensive and aggressive. Exactly the actions that happen when people have something to hide....

We would highly recommend Michael Hardy of Crowthorne. We had great advice from the off from Terry (now moved to the Wokingham office) who also gave us a competitive quote compared to other local estate agents. We were able to sell our house in a reasonable timeframe and thankfully had very patient buyers who stuck with us through our 5 month search. Ian helped us to keep up our morale and persuaded us to keep on looking while keeping us and our buyers fully informed, and eventually found us the house we purchased, which we're extremely happy with. Other members of the team were equally helpful specially Jane who was always reassuring and upfront when she needed to be and Ravi who also showed us round many houses and was very patient. The whole team were very responsive to our requests and always ready to help with a smile and pleasant manner. We cannot recommend them highly enough.... Read more

This made the entire process significantly easier and quicker. A huge thanks to Ian and the team. I would recommend Michael Hardy Crowthorne without hesitation.... Read more
