I used VC Estates Bromley. Louis Bremner being the local agent. By far the best estate agent I’ve used in 40 years . Kept up to date regularly . He also chased the purchaser and both sets of solicitors when needed preempting my queries on numerous occasions. He was focused, up to date and knowledgeable. Vastly superior to the other local agents where you are treated as another number by an anonymous local representative who deals with numerous customers . Louis focus was such that we felt we had a genuine and personal service. Highly recommended even if he is not based in your local area as a lot was achieved by means of social media Nigel Parrington... Read more

It has been a pleasure to work with Ben from VC estates. It’s the first time I’ve sold a house which I once called home. Ben was very Confident and Knowledgeable about the marketplace. He reassured me he could sell my property… I like to think people buy from people and Ben is vey much a person you’d be happy to buy from. So I decided he was the person for the job. It toke him 8 days!! I was thinking maybe 2- 3 months. Now to find a somewhere to go.
I would happy recommend Ben and VC Estates whether your buying or selling.
Great team... Read more

David and Alison at VC Estates sold our property for us this year and the service throughout was brilliant. They managed to assist with a speedy sale to first time buyers which was exactly what we needed for our onward purchase. They kept us up to date with the progression of the sale throughout the entire process and Alison was always quick to respond to any emails or questions I had. We'd absolutely sell with VC estates again in the future and would recommend David and Alison for anybody who is looking for an easy stress free sale.... Read more

It has been a pleasure working with David and Alison in the purchase of our new home. Being new to the area from London their professionalism and willingness to go there extra mile to help us and make the whole journey smooth and painless was much appreciated. There are a lot of estate agents who could learn a great deal from VC Estates in providing excellent customer service combined with the human touch. An approach rarely found these days.... Read more

If, like us, you want to sell your home then you just want it to happen. VC Estates made it happen for us. We get to start a new chapter now and we could not have achieved this without VC Estates. It was our best decision to use them and we cannot recommend them highly enough. David made us feel like we were his exclusive clients. His passion, energy and drive is incredible. We feel he is a “home finder” which meant for us, as sellers, he was finding the right buyers for our home. A positive for all if you want a successful completion. Our marketing was so professional and the team David and Alison has built are the very best. Everyone in this team knows their role and played their part in our sale. We could not have done it without them. Alison is incredibly proactive, supportive, patient and works tirelessly in managing the after sale. Her communication was always timely, responsive and so very helpful. We chose Emily for conveyancing and she is the most efficient and professional solicitor. A real credit in every respect. VC Estates were there for us throughout, even out of hours. Their commitment is outstanding and they work so hard to deliver the results. We could not have asked for more and we think many agents could learn a great deal from them.... Read more

After organising a few valuations from local estate agents, I decided to go with Ben from VC Estates, and couldn't be more pleased with my choice!
I was very impressed with his personal, professional, realistic and timely approach to marketing the sale and he was upbeat and optimistic right from the start. And he was right to be so, as an offer was made within a day of going on the market. Ben successfully and painlessly negotiated the potential sale to a mutually satisfactory outcome and the offer has been accepted! I highly recommend Ben and VC Estates for continuing to be helpful and proactive with the process.... Read more

Marketed our house for 6 months with no success. They did try a couple of strategies and communicated well, but only when prompted, not very proactive. Had to pay extra for photography, had made my own corrections to their floorplan diagram as they'd omitted the garage, asked to reorder key particulars as they'd prioritized shutters over a double drive and garage, and the listing, for a short while, even had a virtual 3d tour attached to it for another propertyin the village. At one point they asked if we'd consider dropping to a previously discussed marketing price, which we had no record or recall of ever discussing, we listed it at their original valuation price. Seem to have plenty of success with other happy customers but just didn't work for us. We chose VC as they are based in the same village as our house but the local advantage didn't seem to help and their area of sales is vast. First dealing with a house sale in many years so took this as par for the course but the difference when we relisted with a Hailsham based company was astounding in terms of contact, proactive measures, quality of listing. Sorry VC, you just weren't anywhere near as good as the other guys.... Read more

I chose to use David and his team at VC estates after a having been with "another" local estate agent for a few months without a single viewing or any client feedback. Starting with a negative view of the state of the market, David was able to show me quickly what a good agent can do even during tough times. Dealing with him and the VC estates team is a breath of fresh air
Whilst he has not sold the house yet, he has got people through the door and each of them a serious prospective buyer. The first of these viewings was even before the property details were typed and approved! David and Alison are a pleasure to deal with and I fully expect he will find that right person and have an offer in place inside the next few weeks with the way in which they are performing. (So no pressure David.)
I receive regular update calls from David and he clearly understand the market in these difficult times. I can't recommend them highly enough.... Read more

I have been most impressed with VC Estates. David Foley has gone to great trouble to understand my particular requirements and very actively tried to match these to the properties he is marketing on behalf of his clients. This is a quality of service that you don't often find in the modern age and must be of equal benefit to both seller and purchaser. So much more than the usual post it on Rightmove and time will do the rest attitude commonly found elsewhere.

I have to say that Estate agents are not always seen in the best light, but I had the pleasure of dealing with David & Alison Foley from VC Estates and I can confidently say they exceeded my expectations from start to finish.
From the initial meeting they demonstrated a deep understanding of the local market, and a complete sympathetic view of the family disposing of a property and the anxiety that can generate.
Thier communication throughout the entire process was exemplary, informing us at every stage and taking the inevitable questions both with patience and clarity. David and Alison were always available at the end of the phone and present when we popped into the office.
As a family we wholeheartedly recommend VC Estates to anyone selling or buying a property, they are not just a fantastic agency but someone you can trust completely to guide you through one of life's biggest transactions with confidence and care.

They have been an absolute delight and have gone above and beyond to serve my requirements. The estate industry can often be both confusing and exasperating at times.

Peter and I met David last year at a house viewing - the very start of our journey to our new home. Altho we decided against that house, we were very impressed with his professional approach plus his rather wonderful sense of humour (a necessary ingredient - as we soon discovered - to survive the many challenges of buying and selling your home) and so, when it came to deciding which agent to use to put our house on the market 'Village and Country' was the obvious choice.
Viewings were organised quickly and efficiently and we were very pleased with the level of advice, support and guidance from David and Simon ... especially given that we had lived in the same house for 36 years and so weren't entirely sure what to expect!
What we didn't quite appreciate at that point was that, once offers have been made and accepted the work has only just begun and this is where Alison steps into the picture. We were kept fully informed every step of the way and Alison was always available to answer our many questions and remind us what we needed to do to keep things moving. We were involved in quite a long chain which was very stressful at times but the regular contact, reassurance and constant updates from Alison made the process much more bearable than it might otherwise have been.
We are now happily settling into our new home and can wholeheartedly recommend David and Alison as the dream team you need when you decide it's time to move. Annie and Peter... Read more
