Both Nick and James were both very professional and easy to work with. The viewings were always accompanied and well delivered. Feedback was given promptly and I feel I have been very well supported through this process.

Wellington Evans was recommended to me by a friend, who had used them previously, as a small local estate agent who operate a much better service than the usual big high-street names. Having now completed on my house move I completely agree with that and am very pleased with the experience I’ve had.
Nick and James were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I particularly appreciated the clear, logical, explanation on the approach they take when marketing a home and the strategy used to sell in a timely manor for a good price.
The communication from was frequent and useful in keeping me informed of the progress of the different stages of moving house. They were always willing to talk me through any questions I might have about any part of the house moving process, not just the sale of my old property. Once the sale was agreed they helped to communicate with the various other parties in the chain to make the process as fast and smooth as possible.
I felt they really did go far above and beyond my expectations of what I thought an estate agent would do. They definitely had my corner throughout the entire move.
I have absolutely no qualms in strongly recommending them, and will not hesitate to use them again for any future moves.

Outstanding service from start to finish!!!
I couldn’t be more satisfied with how Nick and James handled selling our house. From the very beginning, they demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and expertise that put us at ease throughout the entire process.
Selling a house can be stressful, especially when it takes a very long time to complete (notwithstanding them getting us multiple offers and finally completing with one above asking price). We had an extremely difficult property to sell. But Nick and James made it as smooth as possible.
Their communication was impeccable—they kept us informed every step of the way and were always available to answer our questions or address any concerns.
We truly felt like we were in the best hands, and I can’t recommend Nick and James more highly. If you’re looking to sell your home, do yourself a favour and get Wellington Evans onboard.

I cannot recommend James Evans highly enough. He has worked tirelessly with multiple personnel to sell our parents retirement home - no easy feat!
He has not only been highly professional but has supported, guided, listened and offered invaluable advice throughout.
Thank you so much James.

James has single handedly restored my faith in the real estate profession. He is an absolute delight to work with. His entire approach is centered on professionalism and integrity. And he REALLY knows what he's talking about. I'm a home buyer and had a million questions. He helped me understand the process - AND how Wellington Evans made it fair and transparent to all involved (very welcome, after having already been burned by another agency). He advised on options, and went above and beyond. And he actually communicates!!! Which is a rarity in life, but an even rarer phenomenon in real estate. I could not recommend James & Wellington Evans highly enough. Whether you're looking to sell, or to buy, you will be treated with respect, integrity, honesty, and have the benefit of vast professional knowledge. If I could give more stars, I would. Thank you, James!!!

We just sold our house through Wellington Evans and it was an absolutely flawless service from beginning to end. Nick was hugely knowledgeable, respectful and supportive at every stage, and always kept us up-to-date as things progressed. Based on our experience of their professionalism, standard of service and results, we cannot recommend Wellington Evans strongly enough.
When Nick first visited our home, we were immediately impressed with the care and attention he gave our property. He was realistic and honest, and explained the current market and how he would approach selling our house. By the end of the visit, we knew we could trust him to deliver a five star experience - and we weren’t wrong.
Nick was consistently engaged and on-hand for our questions and to explain the intricacies of the sale process. Through the strategy he put together for marketing our property, the managing of viewings and the offers we received, it was obvious that Nick was focused on delivering for us. We were very pleased to have him represent us.
Don’t be put off by the fact Wellington Evans aren’t a big sprawling agency with offices everywhere - based on our experience, this is one of their many, many strengths. At every step, we felt supported and never doubted their investment in us and our house sale.
A huge thank you to Nick and the rest of the team at Wellington Evans.

We have recently bought a house through Wellington Evans and found the whole process easy and stress free. James kept us informed at every stage of the purchase. His excellent communication skills enabled him to liaise with solicitors on our behalf and with our buyers and down through the chain. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently.

I went to Wellington Evans after receiving poor service and poor advice from a major high street Estate Agent. The team at Wellington Evans tailored their approach to selling my property to suit it location, size and the prevailing economic environments. They gave realistic and honest advice which allowed me make well informed decisions. Even when one offer fell through they replaced it the same same day with another. They are well deserving of their 5 * review.

We’ve had an incredible experience with Wellington Evans at every stage of our selling journey.
Selling your first property is always tricky, but after working with other local agents, we feel very grateful for the dedicated experience we received from James and his trusting manner and incredible expertise.
From meeting Nick at the start and receiving good, honest advice, to the comprehensive viewings carried out and always taking the time to talk us through the process. James kept us smiling and knowledgable and we would recommend them to anyone selling or buying in Hitchin (and wider), they really are the best and you will feel in great hands every step of the way, and with great local recommendations and suppliers who have also made our experience as flawless as it can be.

I recently had the pleasure of working with James for the sale of my house. I was impressed by his honesty and pragmatic approach. I was confident that he was closely monitoring all aspects of the sale from day 1 and was grateful for his honest advice throughout. There was an issue with my boiler which had to be replaced but with James's intervention and advice, this did not affect the sale.
I would recommend this company for their honest approach

James from Wellington Evan’s was amazing throughout the whole process of me trying to sell my Dad’s house. His complete honesty was refreshing and reassuring. At no point did I not think he wouldn’t do what was right by me and also the buyer. His knowledge of the market and legal matters were particularly helpful too. James really cares about his clients and this is invaluable when going through something as big and often as stressful as trying to sell or buy a house.

James and Nick helped guide us through a slightly challenging and frustrating move with patience and clear expertise.
We originally chose W. E. as the agent to market our house with their refreshing and creative sales offering. Their approach, owning some of the risk around fee gave us confidence in their commitment to our sale. We also know both are local and fully understand the market.
As part of our move we got to witness first hand the effect of "high volume" agents and so having this much more personal service really helped us.
We would highly recommend using their service.

My husband and I would highly recommend James and the team, they are more than just an estate agent as they are there, at your side, guiding you at every step of the process. James was knowledgeable and professional but most of all really cared about our experience and ensuring we were kept informed.
We have moved 5 times now and we know that moving house is a stressful experience. This is by far the best estate agent we have used, we honestly feel that we would not have achieved buying our dream house without him.. Massive thanks to James and the team.

We are first time buyers who have so far only been looking for houses for 2 weeks, but I want to highlight how well we've been treated by Wellington Evans in this time. The viewing we did at a property of theirs allowed us the time and space to see the house thoroughly and our questions about it were all answered on the spot. James himself took time to have a detailed, wide-ranging conversation with me about house prices in Hitchin, in which his experience, clarity and honesty shone through in the advice he gave. It was a spontaneous piece of generosity which felt professional and supportive; looking at the other reviews on here, I can see others have felt the same way, and that it is no different whether is working on an active sale or offering advice to people like us who are still searching. Thank you!

I used Wellington Evans to sell a property, they went above and beyond for what was a complicated process at times. We had used a different agency previously, and not had much interest. When WE came in, we made a plan to refresh the property and marketing approach which saw many more viewers and an offer.
James was great at helping me figure out the next best move and the advice they gave from start to finish was excellent.
Lovely, supportive and involved team, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again myself.

We want to say a huge, huge thank you to Nick for all his hard work, superb guidance and advice and immense kindness during the sale of our property. We still stand amazed at being able to complete within 2 and a half months of putting the property on the market. We couldn't have asked for a more professional and yet totally personal service. Throughout the process, we felt so safe and supported and knew exactly what was happening and what we could expect to happen next. The communication with Nick was superb - his response time was incredibly quick and we always felt he was on hand should we need anything. We have unreservedly recommended Wellington and Evans to all our family and friends. With immense gratitude for making our house sale so incredibly stress-free! Viv and Jen

I can recommend the services of Wellington Evans unreservedly and without hesitation. James was consistently responsive, proactive and professional whilst also very personable.
To us as purchasers, James felt like an honest broker between ourselves and the vendor. He worked brilliantly well with our solicitor, Elite Conveyancing, and the vendor, navigating a number of bumps along the road to achieve our completed transaction in around 2 months from initial viewing.

Best estate agent we’ve ever had. We went on a bit of a journey with our house and Nick was always positive, pro-active and completely open with us along the way. He and James are vastly experienced but their modern approach sets them apart. You can tell they really care about what they do. It’s not just about selling houses, it’s about helping people move home and doing what’s best for the situation. Nick was full of helpful advice, never sat on the fence and always helped to move things forward right up until the day we completed. If you want an estate agent that’s in your corner, we’d recommend Nick and Wellington Evans in a heartbeat.

My girlfriend and I were first time buyers and Wellington Evans were the estate agents. James was our contact and he couldn’t have been more helpful or patient, which is needed, as buying a house for the first time is very daunting! He made it very clear from the start that we could call or text no matter the hour and this was definitely the case. James made the experience an enjoyable one (which is not what we expected from an estate agent!)
There was a bit of a wait from when the offer was accepted as the chain was not complete, and James was always there to answer the phone, keep us in the loop, and keep us positive. James made us feel hopeful but was always honest with time frames and what to expect.
Wellington Evans also put us in touch with our solicitor, Elite Conveyancing, who were amazing.
We’re very grateful for our lovely home so thank you!

James & Nick were incredibly helpful in our house purchase. We dealt mainly with James who is like no other estate agent. I suggest that you take all of his advice! We went our own way with somethings, in hindsight we should have listened, they have your best interest at heart. Very personable, greatly helpful & you are dealing with people, not numbers & faceless names.A for effort, A for execution. Nick was extremely helpful when called upon, he has a more reserved approach but very knowledgable, professional & approachable. They both have there different ways but I promise you, do business with these gentleman, you will NOT regret it. I wish all businesses put people first, like Wellington Evans.

Wellington Evans are not just estate agents, they are project managers for your house move. I met with James when we had made the decision that we needed to move to a different area of the country and we needed to do it very quickly. This was due to a change in our family circumstances and our house was definitely not “market ready”. Not only that but we were looking for a house that had, or could be converted to have, an annex for Granny as well as 4 bedrooms in the rest of the house. This is not an easy thing to find. James came and met with us, he was clear about how challenging our request was and about what we could realistically expect to get for our house, particularly if we didn’t have time to wait, and the best strategy to achieve the best price (which he then did). We chose to go with Wellington Evans and from that point forward James was our total hero. He told me exactly what to do with our house to make it more marketable (turns out I have too many possessions!). He then managed the marketing, viewings, and offers and guided us through that process. We chose a solicitor and a broker recommended by James who were also brilliant. This meant that he could be in contact with them as well (with our full consent) and things happened much faster than they would have done otherwise and it meant a lot less work for me chasing people. When there were issues with the survey (not so minor ones) he steered us in how to manage that. But not only that, which you might (if you were lucky) get from a traditional estate agent, he also helped us to find our new house. Every house we liked on rightmove we sent to him and he gave his advice. He sat with us one morning for hours going through the options. When we wanted to offer on a house (which for various reasons we ended up doing three times) he would say “What is the most you would pay for that house”, and we would think carefully and give him an answer. He’d then do all the haggling for us and come back and tell us he’d secured the house for far less than we’d said. When we had an offer accepted on the home we now live in, James chased the selling estate agents and fought our corner at all times (this was after we had exchanged on our sale so he had already received his fee). James is now a true friend and I’m sad we live so far from him. His services were worth every penny and we wouldn’t be living where we wanted to live now if he hadn’t looked after us throughout the process. I can’t thank him enough or recommend these guys more highly to anyone who needs to sell their house in the Hitchin area. We know Nick and James work in partnership and all our interactions with Nick were also very helpful. They are clearly a great team. Go with them. I promise you won’t regret it.

Poor viewing management. Shown up to a viewing at a property to find a confused owner. The viewing was cancelled with no notification or record on their portal.
Swift and courteous phone follow up. WE claim to have sent a cancellation email and a voicemail. Neither was received.
Please also be aware this agent will filter viewings availability, prioritising cash buyers and people ready to proceed.

Thank you James and team for going the extra 100 miles to find a solution to meet our needs.
I recommend James at Wellington Evans as the most genuine estate agent I have had the pleasure of meeting. James provided a very honest appraisal of our property, market conditions and financial options.
Thank you for your advice and support.

We couldn't have made a better decision in appointing Wellington Evans to sell our family home.
I am not a person who usually writes reviews, but I could not let the opportunity pass to comment on the service received from James and the Wellington Evans team. Failure to do so would be dismissive of the lengths and efforts they go to in helping their clients achieve a successful sale and it is only fair to recognise and acknowledge exceptional service when you receive it. From the very outset we felt our home had been placed in the safest pair of hands. The enthusiasm shown by James never wavered from the day of appointment through to sale completion, always readily available to answer questions as they arose, providing expert advice when needed and solutions in areas where his knowledge and expertise came into their own.
I cannot recommend Wellington Evans enough. Professional, hard-working, committed, totally supportive. You would have to search far and wide to beat the level of service Wellington Evans provide but I doubt if you would find it.
Thank you, James. It was a pleasure dealing with you.

As a first time buyer, I can't thank Nick, James and Helen for their help and support throughout the whole process.
I knew that buying a house would be stressful anyway, but their patience, help, and dedication, with no question that arose being an issue, and them calmly taking me through the process from having my offer accepted to the day of completion.
Their dedication and commitment to their clients is faultless, even staying in contact beyond the completion of the sale making sure that everything was sorted.
Thanks again to you all, and I would definitely recommend Wellington Evans to any buyer or seller in the future.

Wellington Evans were truly outstanding and acted for me way beyond any usual remit that might be attributed to ordinary Estate Agents. I was faced with some difficult circumstances in selling a property in Hitchin in summer 2022. It is not a geographic area with which i have any familiarity. By chance i was recommended to Wellington Evans. All the way through the process from the simple but practical suggestions to house layout for the photography, dealing with the open house weekend and the substantial viewings generated through their carefully targeted marketing campaign (at no extra cost I must add) and dealing with the validation of the prospective buyer's credentials their service was exemplary. Even when, at the 11th hour, a problem arose around exchange and completion, Wellington Evans rose to that challenge with their years of experience and connections within the financial marketplace and everything worked, almost like clockwork! But well within the timeframe that I had requested at the start of the process. I would suggest than anyone who wants a true professional approach and management of selling a property then forget the rest, Wellington Evans will give you the best experience and more than likely the best result.

I will keep this short and sweet.
We were (first-time) buyers of a house with a legally complex transaction process which would have simply not concluded/completed without James as our captain of a ship on a trip of what initially looked like smooth sailing, but quickly turned into a wild storm at open sea.
The deal was at the brink of collapsing 2-3 times due to undoubtedly challenging circumstances to both seller and buyer and James weaved the (emotional) thread necessary to ship it home safely.
I am convinced successful completion would have not been possible had the (first-time) seller instructed Joe Bloggs from High Street Estate Agency.
We already know who to call should we outgrow our new home.

What an amazing service we have received from the team. James and his team has been very helpful throughout the whole process. This is the first house we purchase and we are glad that we go with Wellington Evans. James are true professional who guided our way to buying our home for the first time. We just moved to the UK and there are some hiccups throughout the process but James and his team are calm and able to provide great support.
Upon completion date, James was so nice to show us around the house and point us where those meters are, which helped a lot!
We 100 percent recommend this company to anyone who are looking for properties within their radar.
Thank you James and team. Wishing you all the best!

A big thank you to the team at Wellington Evans and in particular, James, for his guidance throughout our moving journey.
In my naivety as a first time seller, I didn’t realise how crucial the role of the estate agent can prove to be. We all thought we were dealing with a straight forward transaction initially, but challenges and complications arose that none of us could have foreseen. Without James’ expert help in navigating the process, I think a likely outcome for us would have been staying put for a number of years.
I cannot emphasise enough the value James and the team have brought to the transaction. They have provided guidance and advice throughout, and are not afraid to have difficult conversations when needed.
For anyone contemplating who they should select as their estate agent, I would highly recommend Wellington Evans - you are in expert hands with the team. Should we decide to move again in the future, the first phone call we will be making is to James.
James and team - our sincere thanks and gratitude again for all of your help, steer, support and patience.

We received an excellent service from James. When we viewed a property, he was very knowledgeable, not only about the property but also the local area. He was able to answer all our questions (even when we went off topic!) with a warm and friendly manner - and a sense of humour! We didn’t feel rushed at all and he couldn’t have been more helpful. Thank you.

Moving home is stressful and I wanted to find an estate agent who would, not only sell my home, but support me through this time. When I first met James one of the first things I remember him saying to me was "to have faith in me to sell your home". I decided to put my faith in James and the team at Wellington Evans and they didn't disappoint. My house quickly sold. James was always very prompt at getting back to me with any queries I had and I was fully supported throughout the whole process.
I would highly recommend Wellington Evans.

We have recently bought and sold with Wellington Evans and their service was faultless. James has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area and on our initial meeting spent along time giving us great advice whilst listening to what our specific needs were. James helped us enormously with our pricing strategy when selling and with that great advice enabled us to gain maximum price for our house which enabled us to purchase our current home.
Whilst waiting for us to exchange James kept us informed at all times and ensured the process went as smoothly and quickly as possible, chasing up any loose ends.
Everyone at Wellington Evans gave a fantastic service, completely professional, knowledgeable and always available to advise. We can t praise James enough and would highly recommend Wellington Evans to anyone looking to buy/sell.

Wellington Evans have been fabulous to work with. All four team members have been professional and gone above and beyond to accommodate the sale of our house smoothly. The advice and support we have received has been exceptional. We have sold many properties over the years through various estate agents and will remain with Wellington Evans going forward due to their exceptional high class service , experience and knowledge. We felt they put our needs first during every step, and gave open and honest advice, making selling our home a much smoother process. We highly recommend Wellington Evans.

If you are thinking of using another estate agent other than wellington Evans don’t - they are exceptional and the best estate agents in Hitchin !!!
We recently sold our house through Wellington Evans and we can honestly say they are head and shoulders above their competitors - many of which we have used in the past and have been unimpressed!
It was very evident from our first meeting with Nick that he knew precisely the strategy he needed to adopt to market our property. This strategy was spot on and executed perfectly, leading us to obtain multiple high value offers within days of our open house!
Nick fully explained the whole selling process and was very professional in his manner.
Following two very successfully open days we received multiple offers. Again Nick guided us through the selection process.
After this point James handled the back office stage of making sure both parties were kept updated with the various solicitor requests and processes required to exchange and complete.
James like Nick was very experienced and very professional in his approach
We were kept in the loop during the whole process and they were always happy to take our calls
We cannot rate Wellington Evans highly enough and five star review does not do them justice!
Thankyou

We stumbled across Wellington Evans by chance, and thank goodness we did. From the start Nick and James have been amazing. No pressure from them at all. They valued our house, talked us through all the selling options and guided us through everything. The pictures were taken and 2 days later we were on the market. Literally 2 days after that, they advised us to have an open house that weekend. We had a lot of interest and by the Wednesday we accepted an offer. So all in all from our first meeting to the sale of our home, it was under 3 weeks. We can not recommended them highly enough. Professional from start to finish. 5 star service throughout

It's been an absolute pleasure to work with Nick and James at Wellington Evans, and an honour that these consummate estate agency professionals chose Street as their agency CRM. Always striving to be the best for their clients, and provide the highest levels of expertise and service means the pair regularly share their ideas and insights with us, which are always invaluable

We were impressed with James’ knowledge of the local market, and his enthusiasm and commitment to making our house sale a good experience. James is straightforward and honest. He’s the first estate agent I have met (and we’ve bought and sold a few houses now) who is prepared to share his views and offer advice - which was appreciated. After a couple of bumps In the road we sold promptly and with no last minute glitches. I’d certainly recommend a James and Nick - and their service oriented small team.

Would really like to recommend Wellington Evans, we put our property on the market with another company - even with this in mind, the help and advice I received from James was fantastic, very well thought through and very helpful, I have not received anything similar from the agents we are currently using. We really hope to be sold soon and would look to use Wellington Evans in the future. Thank you again James.

I recently used Wellington Evans for a new home I was purchasing. The entire process was managed by a single point of contact – James Evans – who maintained a high-level of communication throughout the process; quickly identified bottlenecks and delays.
James’s knowledge and experience certainly shone through, not only effectively managing the upward chain, but also supporting the downward chain where necessary. Often the requests and turn-around timelines were very ambitious, but I guess these pressures are part of the buying and selling process. However, I can confidently say, that without James’s proactive, candid and supportive communication there would have been significant delays and most likely resulted in my purchase falling through. James is never too busy to help or answer questions; I would certainly recommend the service provided by Wellington Evans.

Nick and James of Wellington Evans have been excellent throughout our sale process and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience they provided expert guidance in selecting the right approach to marketing, then managed the whole viewing process and agreed a sale all in very good time. They have been open, supportive and communicative throughout a complex and often difficult time.
Since our Sale was agreed they have continued to work tirelessly on our behalf to organise the other links in the chain to drive things forward towards exchange and completion.
If only all agents achieved the same high standards as Wellington Evans.

We purchased a house in which Wallington Evans represented the vendors. The process was simplified by James’ straightforward communication and professionalism. He helped us considerably with advice on the locality. It was a breath of fresh air dealing with an independent company: Nick and James were always available to be contacted directly and nothing was too much trouble.

Buying a property is a very involved and stressful task. I had just attempted to buy, but that fell through. I was just about ready to throw in the towel and rent again. But, first and by chance, I contacted Wellington Evans in my last attempts to find an appropriate property. Wellington Evans were more than fantastic. They were very patient, helpful, provided sound advice and most importantly of all, they put me in touch with the right person for the right property for me. So, yay, I am now buying and it all looks like its going through nicely. I can' thank Wellington Evans enough.
