Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Code of Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.

You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Customer Review
 
Mid-terrace in Wales

"I have to confess I was a little dubious as to whether British Home Sellers would really be able to secure a seller in such a short space of time. However they really did, within the 4 weeks. In fact we had our first viewing arranged the very same day the property went up on the website. The whole team I have dealt with (Lara, Ross, Darcy and Sophie) have been friendly, efficient, professional and a real pleasure to deal with. I am very pleased and would highly recommend British Home Sellers to anyone. Had we sold via a regular estate agent I have no doubt we would have waited months and paid significantly more money."

Mid-terrace town house in Grantham.

"This is a fantastic firm of professional, smart and dedicated people.
Our main contact throughout the sale was Darcy and she was brilliant throughout.
I will recommend you to everyone I know and you will be my first port of call if I sell property in the future!
Thank you so very much and may 2018 be successful for you all."

End terrace 2 bed property

"We didn't sell the property but decided to Remortgage as we loved this house. We didn't have too many viewings however the team- Ashley, james, William Ross -all were really helpful and suggested other ways of doing things to try and get more people interested. They were very good at contacting me if I rang them and Ashley was lovely. If we were selling in the future 8 would consider strongly going with British homebuyers again. Customer service is very important"

Three bedroom end of terraced home with large garden in quiet area in Basildon near town centre

"After having a bad experience with another agency we were very impressed with the quality of service we received and professional service provided by the staff throughout.

The communication was excellent and always returned call without delay. This was always followed up with text messages and or email.

Once the offer was accepted, they continued with their services making sure the solicitors on both sides were acting without delay.

I have no hesitation to recommend British Homesellers."

Retirement one-bedroomed flat in a two story block, in the centre of Camberley and close to all major amenities and public transport links. Communal lounge, conservatory, gardens and laundry room. Part-time on-site manager.

"British Homebuyers were courteous, professional, efficient and transparent in my dealing with them. In particular, Robert Love managed the sale of our property and despite initial sluggish activity secured a near-asking price offer within 4 weeks when other high street agents had failed to accomplish this over a 12 month period.

Robert and William kept us fully informed at each step of the process, and patiently answered all our questions initially as we were initially a little wary. We shouldn't have worried. Everything thus far has been carried out efficiently and quickly, we are very pleased with the overall service and have no hesitation in recommending British Homebuyers to prospective sellers."

2 bed semi-detached bungalow, Torquay, Devon

"I was fairly dubious when I first contacted British Home Sellers as I had never heard of them and didn't want to make a mistake. After speaking to William however, who gave me lots of information, I decided to go ahead and my sale was passed to Alex who was also very helpful and managed to find me a buyer in 4 days. The price was a little under what I would have liked but in the current situation (my father died and it was his bungalow I was selling) and needing a fairly quick sale I accepted what was actually a very reasonable offer and well above the normal rates offered by other companies. The sale has now progressed almost to exchange of contracts in 5 weeks, which is amazing, and also down to the valiant efforts of Darcy Shea who kept in regular contact with me by email, and chased up solicitors and my buyer, and the buyer's buyers to get answers to my questions. Everything has progressed smoothly so far and this has been the easiest and least stressful house sale I have ever done. Darcy is amazing, very efficient and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend British Home Sellers to everyone. In fact, this should really be the way forward to selling properties. They have been second to none and I can't praise them highly enough."

Warsop, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire

"I saw there advert on a TV advert and thought I would give them a ring, from start to finish they were totally professional and freind with no pushy sales talk.

I was expecting it to take a couple of weeks and I could not beleive it from the time it went online it was sold within 3 days so paying that bit extrea in fees was well worth it to myself and I recived 10.000 pounds above what it was online for plus in total therte were 9 people wanting to see the property, however a local couple who were second to made me an offer of which I expected.

To all the people conscerned my sincere thanks for the quick sale

Four bedroom semi detached property in St Helens, Merseyside

"Having been let down by high street estate agents and auction process, using British Homesellers was a positive move. The staff were polite and professional at all times and their customer service was first class. They worked extremely hard in getting numerous viewings that resulted in us getting a good offer for the property. We are extremely delighted the process was smooth and stress free. A big thankyou to Robert Love who is a credit to the team. Overall I would give this company a 10 out of 10 and would recommend them to anyone"

3 bedroom detached property in Hailsham.

"Members of British Homebuyers were very professional and helpful throughout our time with them and as we were first told that with British Homebuyers in the asking price of £254000 we should expect to sell the property within 6 weeks. we have just sold our property for £252000 in 5 weeks of putting the house on the market so this proves the members of British Homebuyers know exactly how to sell a property and I will certainly use them again.
Many thanks to everyone at British Homebuyers.

John and Paulette Kemsley"
