Abi went above and beyond when handling our house sale. Even through the sale falling through at one point, her communication was outstanding and we were kept informed at every step. Highly recommended her if you want a no nonsense, honest professional. Thanks Abi!

Orchards were the only agent in the area who managed to sell my home 3 times. Sadly I was unlucky twice with the buyers but each time they supported me in a very professional and empathetic manner and always found me a buyer very quickly. Adam and Abi have been incredible always offering sound advice and ensuring our sale went through in a very short period. They are thorough, communicate well and are on the ball. I would recommend Orchards to anyone and the team there is the best in the area without a doubt!

Recently deleted a review of my experience with orchards in regards to a dispute and to which I was threatened with solicitors if I didn’t take my review down, just read through the other reviews to see other people had the same experience with threats of solicitors ect. Will not be recommending not now not ever. Have a fantastic day to the director after threatening me with solicitors. ??

Abi came across and was a lovely sales person to deal with, she was always there to help throughout, which we really appreciated. Sam was also great, he did his utmost to help us through a very long purchase chain, kept us up to date consistently and again was easy to deal with during the whole process.

Poor service. Not sure what was going on with the property they advertised in Lower Stondon, had us out for a viewing, took our application then did not contact us for 3 days, would not return a call or anything. I kept asking for an update and kept being told 'Eleanor will call you back' and that never happened. 3 days after the viewing and application, I finally manage to speak to someone on the phone and I get told the 'landlady is keeping her options open'. What does that even mean (I asked) and I hear back 'She hasn't said yes but hasn't said no. Wants to keep her options open for now'.
This after being told the landlady was looking for a local family, who lived in the area and would be suitable for the property.
Well, we lived on the same road, family of 4 and passed the affordability checks without issue.
Difficult to feel like this isn't a form of discrimination. Horrific service.

I've had a threatening experience with Orchards Estates following them chasing for a completed property payment which hasn't been received from the client. Relentlessly chased and threatened with small claims court.
Certainly not a company I will be looking to deal with in the future following the threats and bullying behaviors from their director.

The Orchards team provided us with great service, from the point of finding our buyer all the way through to completing the sale.

We have recently sold and bought a house through Orchards.
It’s been such a stressful time during conveyancing but Orchards and Abigail in particular has been absolutely amazing.
I can honestly say that without Abigail the whole chain would have collapsed. She was always on hand to help and answer any questions, deal with other estate agents as well as solicitors and assisting in anything that needed doing.
I can’t recommend Abigail enough and she’s the reason we’re finally moving!

J Costall
We recently sold our house through Orchards and coincidentally found our new house through them too.
The sale was good, Julian was very helpful during the valuation, offering advice about the sales process as well as the housing market in general. When viewings started, Emma and Cameron were great, and in the end, Emma managed to get us two offers and helped us decide on which one we should take.
The purchase was also good, a professional viewing was conducted by Cameron, and Adam was very helpful with the negotiations between everyone involved.
At this point, we were pleased with Orchard's service. Then conveyancing came and the entire process became a little more difficult as other solicitors and other estate agents became involved. If it was not for Orchards - Abigail specifically, sorting the entire chain out then we would not have moved, She is the reason and the only reason everyone in the chain was able to move.
If we were to move in the future, we would use Orchards again, we can highly recommend.

We have recently exchanged contracts on a beautiful barn conversion in How End that we saw through Orchards in Ampthill.
It hasn’t been the easiest journey to exchange for a multitude of reasons but Abigail Prior was absolutely phenomenal in driving it forward.
We are now looking forward to moving into our new home in a few weeks
We are not moving again for a while!! But when we do I would go back to Orchards without hesitation and recommend them highly

As an immigrant I most say I was frustrated after weeks of looking for a Flat. Orchard however, afforded me the opportunity to find a home in Bedford. In particular Ollie was supper supportive and never got tired of me.
Naomi I must say created the ultimate miracle by having the flat ready in record time. She was understanding and quick to assist.
Thank you Orchard team, you are highly recommended.

Not being local to the area we asked 3 agents to view the house and provide a guide price. We chose Orchards as they understood our position and were by far the most professional. When it finally came to listing the house for sale, Emma sold it for us in one day. She understood we were new to the process and kept us informed throughout, advising us how to proceed and what was/wasn’t acceptable requests from the buyer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma and Orchards for their professional and comprehensive service.

From start to finish they went above and beyond in helping with the recent sale of our house.
We couldn’t have wished for a better outcome, we listed on the Friday evening and sold within 24 hours. A sellers dream experience.
The photos and marketing were very high quality and extremely professional.
They really know how to show your home at it’s best.
Emma deserves particular praise and thanks for her dedication, skill and patience. Very quick to resolve and overcome challenges that arose during the process and was even messaging with support in the final stages when she was on holiday. This personal touch meant the world to us and shows her dedication to her job.
She’s a real asset to the Orchards team.
I really think these guys offer the extra personal touch without even trying. They are all very personable and conscientious - you really feel that they genuinely want to help you.
Huge thanks to you all.

Emma has supported our house sale, tirelessly, from the outset. It has not been the easiest sale and yet her response to the challenge has been of consummate professionalism. This is an estate agent who knows her business but also the requirements for conveyancing, picking up on balls dropped by legal teams. She has worked so hard to get us across the line. Thank you Emma! X

We've recently moved home from Bedfordshire to Kent and were extremely happy with our choice of Orchards as our estate agents. They found buyers exremely quickly and worked very hard to keep everything on track despite COVID, the loss of one buyer and the finding of another and a relatively large chain. Many thanks in particular to Emma who worked very hard especially when we neared completion to ensure everything fell into place and we actually moved home. So a big thumbs up for Orchards (and particularly Emma). MANY THANKS

Having invited a number of agents to assess our property we chose Orchards because they suggested an asking price that reflected our own thoughts and most importantly Julian followed up his visit with confirmation of details which were correct in all detail. Photographs and video (including drone footage) showing our property were also excellent and were particularly important for buyers in the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic. Emma, who dealt directly with our sale, was always most helpful and invariably on hand if needed. When we hit a sticky patch in the chain of buyers and sellers, Julian went above and beyond to resolve the issue. Having moved out of Bedfordshire we won't have the opportunity of using them again, but would definitely do so if the occasion arose.

In one word Amazing
We recently purchased what we believe will be our dream house from orchards ampthill and Emma was brilliant throughout the process. She was very professional, responsive and something that is almost alien in the property market very honest. We placed an offer, the seller accepted, there was a counter offer by others, but both Emma and the seller decided to sell to us. The whole process was painless, a great experience, and a joy to find an estate agent who does not play buyers off against each other or have other hidden agendas. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone, and I would definitely use her again.
Thank you Emma, you showed how easy buying and selling should be

A truly professional but also entrepreneurial approach from start to finish. Starting with establishing a sensible selling price and finding the right buyers to then achieving a higher than asking price. It was not a straightforward or very fast sale but the team at Orchards kept things on track, dealing with us, buyers, solicitors and others in the chain. Always easy to get in touch and kept us informed at all times. A very big thank you to Julian, Emma and Alex. We have bought and sold many times over the years in many parts of the country and they are the best estate agents we have ever experienced !

I've had a great experience with Orchards, in particular one of their agents Emily Harris. She has made the process easy for me, she is always in a good mood over the phone, she gives me regular updates and answers any questions I have. On top of this she is always so reassuring. She is on point and continuously liaises with the landlord and sorts out any work that needs to be done to the property. Absolutely loved my experience so far!

We experienced Orchards as buyers and were very happy with the service received.
Emma dealt with our purchase and was responsive and informative throughout. She kept us in the loop with all developments and answered all of our questions promptly.
Even after the purchase completed we still had a couple of questions and Emma was more than happy to help. Overall brilliant service.

Brilliant! I have never before been to a group viewing so was a little strange for me but Emily was amazing, accomadating and very informative. Will hopefully be moving to my lovely new flat next week. Best agents ive used. Some agents on viewings can be very vague and in a rush but Emily spared her time for my 21 questions. Cheers Em

I have been speaking to Orchards thought out whilst looking for a one bedroom house/apartment. Emily Harris has been meeting me at the the property viewings, communicating with landlord where necessary and keeping me updating with emails and text messages with any progress. So has been easy process for me. :))

My partner and I rented a house from this company... terrible communication and always finding excuses! I found them unprofessional and had to take time out of our day in order to chase up small requests. Don’t know what it’s like to buy a house from them, but I would not recommend renting

We had a complicated chain with many people involved. Throwing CV-19 into the mix too made it more complicated however the team were always available, willing to give time for reassurances and to answer questions. We had lots of questions and not once were made to feel like an inconvenience. I have no doubt that without their commitment to the chain and to us and their ability to think creatively we wouldn’t be in our new house!! Thank you Orchards!!

Orchards were incredibly helpful throughout our house-sale in Maulden and then our purchase in Ampthill.
The whole team we’re very prompt in replying at every stage and kept us informed of all developments along an incredibly difficult chain.
I recommend Alex and the whole team at Orchards very highly.

It's definitely landlords can leave 5 star reviews and tenants can only leave 1 star or maybe less. One day i will write in details about my experience with this agency.
This is not a fake review it is true that you are a time waster and I will never recommend this agency to anyone. I am not the only person who says that. Look at the other comments from those who tried to rent a property you are managing and see how the majority gave you bad score. YOU NEED TO FIX YOUR INTERNAL WORKING SYSTEM.

Just told our house through orchards. Very professional, one of the things that stood out was Adam's laid back attitude, not pushy or forceful with anything. Rare to find in any estate agents. Adam and Alex have always been available when we needed and nothing too much trouble. Thank you!

Orchards were the estate agents for the house we purchased recently. Excellent communication and a really nice team to work with. Alex was so helpful throughout the whole process. We're now in our dream home and loving every minute! I doubt it will be for a very long time but if we ever sell, we'll definitely be back in touch! Will highly recommended you to anyone looking to purchase or sell.

When renting a property, Orchards were quick to get things organised and in place for my move in date. I was provided with a well-detailed inventory and current state on property, pictures included etc.
Some minor issues such as phoning to let me know a radiator was coming for the living room, but it never arrived. Also my landlord was told in error that I wanted to extend my lease for an additional 6 months when this was not the case. Quite excessive on some deductions from my deposit in my opinion but this was negotiated and all was well on departure.
Satisfactory rating.

Incredible service, incredible staff! Without Adam and Alex at Orchards, our dream move would never have happened. They pulled out all the stops, were always polite, professional and eager to get things moving. An absolute pleasure to deal with.

I can not fault these guys in Ampthill. Alex and his team were so easy to deal with from the first viewing up until the date of sale. Alex couldn't do enough, driving over there to take pictures when I couldn't make it, chasing things along without being asked, and generally changing my view completely on estate agents as a whole! I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in the area hoping to make a move soon!

Adam, Alex and Orchards the team offered us an amazing service through the sale of our home. The team worked really hard to support us in building a strategy to get a sale for our home, despite a lot of challenges (Chain breaking down, local over supply and difficult market conditions). We successfully completed last week. I would highly Orchards especially if you are looking to optimise the marketing of your home to a proactive target audience. We tried that with a competing agency and were left highly frustrated with their lack of effort. Orchards pulled through with a high number of interested viewings, and successfully supported getting us a price we were willing to accept - supporting with a high touch through to completion - without doubt 5 Stars. Great team effort!

Management are great at this estate agent and following their valuation we were happy to list our property with them. However a few avoidable issues did leave a bitter taste once the sale was completed. Work was identified as being required for the sale which was not an issue, however due to misinformation unnecessary trips to the property were required to fix a very simple issue resulting in two 130 miles round trips. The final issue was the date of the sale where they had handed over keys to the buyer before we, the seller were notified that the sale had completed, resulting in us visiting the property when the new owners had taken possession, causing a great deal of embarrassment, confusion and distress for both parties.

On moving into rented accommodation my daughter mentioned the unsafe brick wall in the garden steps.... Having a five year old child this needed to be done immediately for health and safety. Nothing was done for eight months and still not.
On leaving, disputes over petty things which were not dealt with professionally actually listening to what was said. Shame as wonderful time spent in property whilst there and was certainly in same if not better condition than when moved in (lots of plants put in to come up each year to enhance garden).
Generally felt like being ripped off as deductions very high eg £75 to unweed a few slabs....£75 to clean a clean oven. £75 to replace plastic fitting on a ceiling light .
Just if renting, take photos of these and other things to show when moving out if necessary.

Would be happy to continue to do business with Orchards. A nice professional team who clearly work hard for their landlord customers and often went over and above expectations. Special mention to Richard T who has been fantastic to deal with and incredibly helpful, and often went the 'extra mile ' for us. Also a mention to Arun who called me several times before I gave him the ok to find us tenants, and with Richard found me great tenants, I had wished I'd used Orchards sooner. Good team, I originally dealt with Steve J last year who was fantastic and set the tone for how I view the company. Glad to be doing business with them.
