To say my wife and I were delighted is putting it mildly. Having had a poor initial experience with one of the big name chains (their draft brochure was atrocious!), we contacted Evans & Partridge more out of curiosity than expectation, since they were local. We met Jamie, liked him, felt he understood and appreciated our home, liked the fact he was honest about a few things as well, and waited for the valuation. When he came back with a price not insignificantly above the other 3 much larger agents we were speaking to, we were concerned he might be quoting a price above market rate to win our business. However, since we were impressed with Jamie, felt he had integrity and very much believed we could work WITH him, we decided to go with E&P and managed our expectations regarding price. Next came the brochure which a) was superb and very carefully put together and b) was free (when wed already paid several hundred to the previous agents who wed sacked). Given it was by then October, we informally agreed to defer marketing the property until spring 2019, but were persuaded by Jamie to let a few people around who he already had on his books searching. 4 couples came round in 3 weeks, 2 of whom made full price offers, 1 of which was a cash buyer!! The buyers made a second visit, expressed strong interest in a few bits of our furniture and furnishings, which Jamie then negotiated a bit more for, so we ended up with even more than the asking price and, as I said before, materially above what the other agents had quoted. We ended up with great buyers (who exchanged and completed without drama), a really good price, a speedy deal and we just could not speak any more highly about either Jamie or his estate agency. It may be a one shop operation, but their attention to detail and communication was near faultless. Oh, one more thing - their fees were less than any of the big names for what we strongly felt was a much more personal service. Absolutely terrific and weve already recommended them to friends in the area if they ever come to sell.

Evans & Partridge marketed my property for 5 months and it was a complete waste of time and money despite reducing the price on a number of occasions. Their inability to properly vet prospective buyers resulted in only time wasters. When I asked them the issues in selling my property I was met with a myriad of excuses ranging from "it's summer", "the economy", "brexit" and a "bad market". I would accept that had it not been for the fact that a similar, but smaller property in the same village as mine that was placed on the market with E&P, sold for the asking price within a week of being on the market. I either was exceptionally unlucky, or E&P specifically select the properties they will promote. My honest opinion is the latter. I have asked E&P to comment and to date they have not responded to this. In the end I placed my property on the market with YOPA and an offer was made within 2 weeks! I would strongly recommend you to avoid this agent as you lose time and money with them.
