“Knowledgeable, Polite, Friendly”

★★★★★

written by JMF69 on 08/04/2024

Had a call with Ieva today. She was extremely friendly and helpful. She was knowledgeable on my property credentials as well as the current sale information. She provided options to me and explained the detail clearly.

“Friendly, business-like, efficient ”

★★★★★

written by JDDM on 08/04/2024

She is very efficient. She arrived well prepared, with some good suggestions and clear idea of the way ahead. She listened to my suggestions and, as a result we have what appears to be, a robust sales plan.

“Do Not Use”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Whitehead1950 on 04/03/2024

Do not use Express Estate Agency. Yes, it may sell property quickly, however it’s service post sale is shambolic. Our experience resulted in a referral to the Property Ombudsman which upheld a number of our complaints. EEA treats its clients with disrespect with its staff being incompetent, obstructive and disinterested. Be careful in your choice of conveyancing solicitors working with EEA, again our experience is poor and should not be repeated.

“Clear, concise, easy.”

★★★★★

written by Jenkins55 on 31/08/2023

I dealt with a lady called Ieva who was excellent. Very clear with the information provided, she made it very easy to understand, and the whole process was very efficient. Lets hope I'm in the 82% success rate for the 32 days, and of course with a price I'm happy to sell at!

“Too long, too boring”

★☆☆☆☆

written by KevinBallard96 on 23/08/2023

Express Estate Agency was a lovely spoken and respectful young lady. However, despite previously telling her i was 71 and not tech savvy and didnt want to have an online conversation, i was pressed to have a 'time slot' and being respectful i kept it, and clicked on the email she sent me and lo and behold it was a video meeting, which kept freezing. I had to go through all the pictures of my home that my estate agent had put on, and there were 37, yet she after each one of the first 4 kept saying that they had been taken at a wrong angle, until i explained that there are 37 pictures and she would see the other angles of the same rooms later. I felt there was a pushing of 'advertising'. During the conversation despite telling her that i was aware of the research of buyers in my area that i had done myself, i was taken to a page on a website that showed the potential of 18,000 buyers which was complete rubbish when real research has been done. Overall i think the experience left me feeling tricked, as their letter to me had been about making me an offer for my house, but the video call was about me letting them advertise my house. The word advertising was used often. Sorry but you are lovely but your conversation is too corporate, too robotic and too big sell. You were unfortunate enough to get a 71 yr old ex marketing agent and ex small property developer. make it more real and more honest.

“selling my house”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Riebe on 23/08/2023

I have been working with an agent . She appears to be a very good sales persob but she isn't. I have been given a mobile phone number (by herself) but your receptionist tells me she never answers that phone as I now know. You (by law) have a 28 day cooling off period and I'm seriously considering calling the whole deal off. If I'm not contacted by the end of the week 25th August consider me cacelled.

“Waste of time”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 999Jacko999 on 14/08/2023

Indicative of lousy professional setup when no one could be bothered to attend the online video presentation - wasted 20 minutes waiting for someone to logon and present the alleged 1 hour of previously prepared information. Then to be asked how the presentaion went...!? - with no supervisor knowledge of the fact that nothing took place, you have to wonder if they could handle anything responsibly.

“Waste of time”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Bumblebee50 on 04/07/2023

I got a phone call. Had a good chat and I was impressed. Told her I would have to speak to my partner and she said she would ring the next morning. NO phone call. I rang Express and twice when I got through the phone was put down. If they cannot even make a phone call after prior arrangements then that does not bode well for them professionally. This prompted me to look at the reviews. I am glad I did because I was going to put our house on the market with them but now glad I didn’t.

“Not able to speak to the advisor ”

★★☆☆☆

written by RC2023 on 09/05/2023

I tried to access the link which previously was sent to me but I just managed to connect to the adviser for 3seconds without being able to hear each other. No attempt was made by the adviser to remedy the fault or try to help me to rejoin.

Did using an online agent work out more beneficial than using a local agent and if so in what way(s)? Were you locked into a contract for a period - how long? What commission was charged? Would you have changed anything or done anything different? Thank you.

Didn't help us but yes you are locked into a contract, can't remember commission but as we were no sale no fee we just waited till the contract period was over and pulled out, just was a waste of time. We have gone to a local agent who has no contract and we can walk away at any time, no sale no fee and the charge if they sell is only 1% plus they have a shop in the local town to us and they also advertise on Zoopla and Rightmove etc - so all we lost out on was time, still not sold though. Express did give us false hope however as the valuer valued the house 10k higher, so we are now at a more realistic price of 120k, fingers crossed!! If we had known we would have gone to a local agent in the first place, express are very good at selling themselves but not sure if they are any good at selling houses, your guess!!

It did in as much as we'd been with 3 local estate agents for a period of 3 years without a sale and with Express we sold within a few months. Yes you are locked in for a period of time, I can't recall how long, but they will tell you that up front. The commission was more or less the same as the local agents would have charged for a sale. We even had to pay one local agent to 'get out' even though they'd failed to get a sale in over 3 years. The Market has picked up since we sold August/October 2013 but I was happy with Express. I think it's all down to individual circumstances, properties, locations and Estate Agents but Express did a good job for us.

The whole process was very quick. Had it not been for Christmas holidays when everything shut down, it would have taken 6 weeks. A fee was agreed when the final offer was accepted which included commission. I did manage to negotiate too on fees. I used the Express Agency solicitors too and all in all, the total fee equated with what I would have paid a local agent and solicitor.. I did feel that I had to answer lots of questions and fill in quite a lot of paper work for the legal team and submit scans/ copies of necessary information which maybe would have been done by a local solicitor if I had used one. I also had to pay postage costs to submit this paperwork. I had tried previously to sell the propety with a local agent and got nowhere fast. At the end of the day I got a quick sale and the price I wanted for my property.

I found them to be ok just very expensive i was charged £3000. yes you are locked into a contract. they did sell my house for me, but convinced me to sell it for £10000 less than the house next door which sold at the same time and was virtually identical to my house he use a traditional estate agent. i did get quite a lot of viewings but nearly all just tyre kickers but i got one or two offers . they are really good on the phone and they are good at getting back to you and they really friendly. it is far too expensive for what you get but overall not a bad service.

We were buying not selling, all I can say is if you are buying through them they have an excellent service, keeping us updated and chasing for us, we had a dedicated person to contact. They are so much better than other estate agents we have used in the buying process. Unfortunately, I haven't used them for selling so cannot say.
