Estate Agent Reviews Milton Keynes

"We used Local Estate Agent to sell our house, earlier in the year. Lincoln was polite, friendly, understanding and really good at explaining the whole process. The listing in Rightmove was really professionally done and the photos were excellent, with plenty of them. Any changes that we requested were accommodated and made, so we felt that we had a level of control, which other larger estate agents wouldn't let you have. Within a short amount of time, we had several viewings and some serious interest in the house, which ultimately lead to a sale which went through. Throughout the process, Lincoln was very contactable (even out of normal office hours) and was able to help, when required. I wholeheartedly recommend Local Estate Agent. A professional outfit with a human touch."

"In February this year we decided to sell our home in Northants in order to move closer to family and friends in north Bucks. Our home was marketed by Lincoln Bedeau from LOCAL estate agent. From the first meeting with Lincoln who showed us around a couple of houses in the desired area, we were impressed by his easy manner, his professionalism and his clear experience in the industry. Having moved home on numerous previous occasions our experience of estate agents was not great, but Lincoln was like a breath of fresh air. He very quickly gained our confidence and guided us seamlessly through what is usually a very daunting process. Lincoln's attention to detail and expert photographic skills were in our opinion a big factor in achieving a sale at the asking price within 3 days of the advertisement on Rightmove, and throughout the long process involved he always made himself available for advice and support, even when we needed to contact him late in the evening and occasionally at weekends. During the process involving a long and complicated conveyancing chain, we would perhaps have thrown in the towel without Lincoln's calm and confident support, and I am pleased to say that we eventually managed a successful move to a new home that we are very happy with. I can honestly say that it is in no small part due to the huge support from our wonderful estate agent, whom we have now come to think of as a friend. Thank you Lincoln. You have restored our faith in the estate agency profession."

"Highly recommend Lincoln! I couldn't speak more highly of him. Just go with Lincoln, he makes life easy and the process comfortable. He's always available, not only in working hours, but also outside those hours, I was not expecting his reply in evenings but he did. My purchase had some issues with the legal stuff, and I still feel unreasonable that an agent is more helpful than a solicitor on legal matters...My solicitor only do their job, more specifically, only wait, never take extra any considerations and actions benefit to me or discuss with me. And that was what Lincoln has done. I would have saved months if the solicitor were acting in the same way. It was really good that you can still reach to someone when things are not going as expected. He is helpful on things beyond his duty, if you are looking for someone reliable, honest, I would say Lincoln is the person you want on your side."

"I would highly recommend LOCAL Estate Agent MK. Lincoln and Helen provide an excellent service to both buyers and sellers at a very reasonable cost. Lincoln's enthusiasm, expertise and local knowledge, coupled with his friendly and flexible attitude is second to none. LOCAL can deliver everything that the larger 'High Street' agents can, but with the addition of the personal touch of an agent who really cares about people, and has a passion for what he does. Thank you Lincoln for all your hard work!"

"Lincoln recently sold my house in Deanshanger. From the start at evaluations, right through to finish at completion, I found him to be reliable, honest, straight-talking and a great sounding board. Friendly and responsive, clearly knows the local market really well and is an all round brilliant estate agent to partner with. Nice to find a 'normal' guy who isn't full of the usual sales patter and makes a truly painful process that little bit better. For anyone looking to sell in the area, call Lincoln first. A no-brainer especially with the lowest fee around! I wish him and the business every success for the future."

"Lincoln was fantastic throughout our buying and selling process. Kept us informed, up-to-date and went the extra mile at every opportunity, even with some turbulence from solicitors. Couldn't recommend him and the team more."

"We bought our house through this agency and with the help of Lincoln. Lincoln was a really helpful and professional agent. He was always there and at the end of a phone call if we needed more details or more viewings at the house which now became our house. Lincoln and Helen took care of us and made the process of buying easier. I can't recommend enough Lincoln for all his effort and help! Thanks Lincoln and good luck!"

"To be honest I don't know where to start. Lincoln has been first class from day one!! He was recommended from a friend and wow, he did not disappoint. Lincoln went above and way beyond the call of duty to ensure that the job was done until the end. Fantastic communication. His perseverance was exceptional and I really could not recommend a better person to deal with my property. The company as a whole should hold their heads up high and shout from the roof tops how easy, personal and great to deal with. Once again, a huge thank you! Will most definitely be using you again in the future!!!!!"

"Very happy to recommend Bertie Mitch and the family team that are Local Estate Agent (Milton Keynes). Their unique approach to the business of selling homes meant they were available and approachable at times to suit our needs along with our potential buyers. They offer first class service and professionalism every step of the way at a price that almost seems too good to be true!"

"We used Local Estate Agents for our move recently and can recommend them whole heartedly. Working with Bertie on the valuation Rayner with the appointments and Mitch on the purchase showed what a dream team they are. Great value and always available at the end of the phone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I was recommended to Local Estate Agent by a work colleague who had sold a house through this company the previous year. I first made contact with Bertie via email and he answered all of my questions I had prior to the valuation very promptly. On the day of the valuation Bertie went through the selling process and timescales of when to expect things to happen. As my property was a shared ownership he went over all the finer details that I needed to get in place to get the sale underway. Lots of excellent photos were taken and the online listing was exactly as Bertie had said it would be. Within days there was plenty of interest and it was recommended that I done block viewings which worked really well. I received feedback about all of the interested buyers and I accepted an offer. Mitch was absolutely fantastic dealing with all of the after sales and keeping me in the loop with how things were progressing. I didn't know of any local solicitors or surveyors but Mitch soon sorted that out and recommended the companies that they use. In Mitch's absence Rayner was on hand to answer any questions that I had. Overall my experience with Local Estate Agent was excellent and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell or buy in the Milton Keynes area."

"We've used Local Estate agent to sell three houses for us. Most recently my two bed semi detached house. They are professional courteous and always available. Mitch is an absolute star he worked tirelessly to get our sale over the line providing updates on a regular basis. He was in contact with all parties including other estate agents and conveyancers pushing for updates and progress. Without him I'm sure our move would not have completed when it did. I would highly recommend Local and would not hesitate in using them again. Why pay extortion agency fees when you can have a hardworking friendly team at Local sell your house for 0.6%… No brainer for me! Thank you Bertie especially Mitch and the rest of the team."

"Bertie and Mitch both provided an absolutely fantastic service in every part of the sales process. They have excellent knowledge of the market and an eye for the details that make your house stand out with buyers. They visited the house twice to take photos as was not happy with one of the photos and wanted to make sure the house was presented in the best possible light. Always available after work ours and return calls promptly. They accompanied every single viewing and gave prompt and detailed feedback from potential buyers. I have sold 6 houses and they provided the best post offer service by far. They provided sound advice to close the deal quickly and did regular follow up with the chain to bring it to completion. I really cannot think of any area that they can improve. 10 out of 10."

"Like many our experience with estate agents prior to Bertie and Mitch was predominantly a negative one – with frustrating office hours lack of feedback and an overall lack of enthusiasm. After 4 months we had not had a single offer to buy our well-presented property. Luckily not all estate agents are like that – here we found one that dealt with us in an up-close-and-personal way working flexibly enthusiastically and providing an exceptional presentation of our property. Oh and he sold it for the asking price within one day need I say more? Frankly Bertie and the unique way in which he operates personifies all of the things that every other agent fails to do – not only that he lives and breathes his work and this shows whenever you have a conversation with him. If you are looking for someone who turns the estate agent business on it's head works with you and your prospective buyers to better sell your property and does it for a fraction of the price then you need to get in contact with Bertie and his son Mitch right away. If everyone sold the way Bertie does no one would have a single bad word to say about the estate agent industry"

"I would thoroughly recommend this unique family run estate agency whose whole ethos is to provide a personalised friendly service and I wouldn't use anyone else. As well as being professional hardworking and knowledgeable the help and support I received at a particularly stressful time were second to none. And not only did they sell my house within four days they also found my new house. Thank you Bertie Mitch and Rayner."

"There is no other team I would ask to sell my home. You just cant fault either team member. Very professional punctual detailed methodical and last but not least an absolute pleasure to deal with. Much better than any high street agent and at a fraction of the cost 👍👍👍"

"We found a home that we wanted to purchase but had not put our own home on the market. We needed to act fast to help secure the home we intended buying. We contacted Bertie that evening following a recommendation from my parents. Bertie put our home on the market at 10pm that very night! Bertie came round the very next morning and took numerous well taken photos and presented our home wonderfully. The best bit! We had 5 viewings and 3 full asking price offers within 48hrs of our property going on the market! We found ourselves in the fantastic position where we then could choose the buyer we wanted to proceed with enabling us to secure the property we wanted. Bertie is very different to estate agents we have used in the past. He presents your home to prospective buyers in a very relaxed but professional manner. He ensures you meet with the prospective buyers so they get to know you and you them. On a personal level Bertie is honest reliable professional and above all a really nice bloke! We would strongly recommend anyone to use Local Estate Agent MK to sell their property. The extremely competitive rates are a bonus given the service you receive from Bertie."

"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Bertie (Local Estate Agent MK) and a very refreshing change from your 'regular' estate agent experience. Bertie has a unique holistic approach to his business from the way he conducts his viewings to his flexibility to make the whole process convenient for the client. For me the first differentiator was his availability. We viewed our new property at 8.30pm he brought our buyer around the next day for a viewing before our property was even on the market and he closed the deal (both offers accepted) that same night at 11.30pm. The second was his proactivity. Bertie remained fully engaged right through to completion even going to such lengths as hosting conference calls with the entire chain and with their solicitors in order to keep things moving and make sure information was flowing back to all parties. The third was his moral compass. Bertie is a delightfully pleasant chap with high ethical standards. I truly feel that he acted in our (and everyone else's) best interests and saw no sign whatsoever of the usual sales patter false promises pressuring the client and being commission-hungry. Bertie made a period that is said to be one of the most stressful of a person's life very easy to manage. I would strongly urge anybody looking to sell their property in the MK area to get in touch with Bertie first!"

"Dear Mitch Superlatives can't describe how amazing you have been. You are superb at your job and put so much more effort in to achieve success and a happy client. It's been a real pleasure working with you and Bertie – two successful sales and one purchase. The service that you and your dad provide is seriously 'top drawer'. Many many thanks."

"We were very impressed by Bertie's total and very personal commitment to the job of selling our house. He was particularly good at producing excellent photographs and giving a brilliant presentation of our home. As a result of his efforts our property sold within five days of going to market and we were able to complete and move into our new Grand Design home much sooner than we had thought. Well done Bertie!"

"Fantastic service! Bertie is unique in his approach to selling houses – you will not be disappointed. The best by far! Always returns your calls no matter what the time or day. Keeps you in the loop with constant feedback etc. and his presentation pictures cannot be faulted – he spent 2 hours on our house – such attention to detail and he is a 'tip top genuinely nice chap too'! 🙂"

"I can't recommend Bertie and Mitch highly enough; it's so refreshing to find a company of estate agents that are committed truthful and honest. My own transaction for selling was uncomplicated and smooth which is in complete contrast to other dealings I had with other agents Thank you Bertie!"

"I would like to thank Local Estate Agents for your excellent service… To Bertie – for the fantastic phots you took which sold my house in Hanslope within a week. To Raynor – for the cheery voice at the end of the phone who was always helpful passing on message and getting back to me with answers. To Mitch – (what can I say?!) a TRUE HERO. We went through some hair-pulling times together but you never gave up and you kept me going. People told me moving house would be stressful but you were all wonderful and I can't praise and thank you enough. You are a family business and deserve every success for the future. I will certainly be recommending you to everyone I know. Take care and keep doing what you're doing so well!"

"Hi Bertie I'd like to thank you for your outstanding service and say what a refreshing change it makes from dealing with many other agents. As you know we're experienced property investors and buy several properties every year so deal with many estate agents but your service was exceptional. The technique you use to make sure the vendor doesn't change their mind once a sale is agreed (or us the buyer for the matter!) is simple yet brilliant. You were completely open and honest throughout always took our calls or returned them promptly whatever the time. Your enthusiasm for the property being sold shone through and I'm sure the vendors were equally impressed with how you marketed the property and got us to buy on the first day it went on the market. You even went to the property the day before completion knowing the property was empty to make sure everything was in order and collect the post to pass onto the vendors when there was no need to do that as the sale had already exchanged. Just a simple example of how you went over and beyond the service we normally get from other agents. I can't recommend you highly enough to other buyers or vendors and hope to buy more through you over time."

"We were delighted with Bertie's service. He marketed and sold our house for more than a High Street agent had suggested within 14 days of instruction and for a fraction of the cost. He was attentive hands on knowledgeable interested and proactive in all areas of the job from suggestions on how to sell and how to stage the house through to which photos to take and how to take and make them look good. I decided to put our house on the market with him instead of a High Street agency after he described the whole area around our house was the additional selling point rather than just what was inside the walls of the house. He also listened to what I thought were the good points to our house and used them along with his thoughts. We had put our house up for sale previously with several high street agencies none of which I was satisfied with. The general disinterest & lack of knowledge of the agents that would show up to survey the house and show prospective buyers around was astounding. My ideas on what where the good points of our house were forgotten by the time the agent left the front door. Agents told me they would decide on the best features of my house not me take photos to be misleading not photograph all rooms due to being late even forget our house was on sale with them. Bertie helped all parties with anything they needed at all stages in the process he was there if I needed him before other offices were open and after they had shut. He even helped our buyers resell their house when their buyer pulled out. Our praise couldn't be higher."

"Hi Bertie. Now that we have settled into our new home I feel a short note to say Thank You to all at Local Estate Agent MK for the professional manner which you dealt with the sale of our house. From our initial meeting with you it was clear to my wife and I that we had the right person acting for us. The volume of potential buyers from the moment the house was placed on the market was very impressive. Even having a viewing before you had left our driveway. Your personality and enthusiasm was what made our decision an easy one In the latter stages of the procedures your willingness to go the extra yard for us was keeping us calm and reassured. We cannot thank you enough for your wonderful service and your agents fees were not only extremely competitive but deservedly earned with your hard work and efficiency. I have already recommended your Local Estate Agent MK to other people in the knowledge that they will receive the same top class service as we did. Wishing you every success in the future and thank you once again."

"Hi there I cannot thank you enough Bertie for all the help you gave us when it came to selling our house. You were always available whenever we needed you even into the evening when most Estate Agents had shut up and gone home. When you came to photograph our house your presentation and attention to detail was second to none and of course your charm and wit helped us through what can be a very stressful time. Thank you again Bertie you were great!"

"Hi Bertie I just wanted to say thank you for all of your help through the buying process. Having visited a number of properties with various estate agents I can safely say that your level of service was the best. From a first time buyer perspective I felt you had a genuine interest in what I was looking for and were readily available whenever I wanted more information. Best of luck for the future I am sure Local Estate Agent MK will continue to go from strength to strength helping buyers and sellers alike. Thanks again!"

"I can highly recommend Local Estate Agent – the service is excellent. The attention to detail for the photographs of my property was amazing Bertie's results were astounding. We sold quickly then the buyer pulled out just before exchange – Bertie was a tower of strength at this time encouraging and re-starting the sale process seamlessly and quickly. The difference between Local Estate Agent and the High Street agents is enormous. Bertie is contactable virtually anytime of the day or evening – every day . He does viewings on a Sunday (which makes such sense as this is the time people are off work) he will ALWAYS return your call promptly if he is unable to answer you first time round. And of course his fees are such great value for money. The other major factor about this company is that Bertie is totally honest. A very refreshing change from all the other High Street agents I met. He is professional friendly very pleasant to do business with and I cannot recommend his services more highly. A big thank you Bertie for all your help and valuable advice throughout the sale of my property!"

"Hi. We just wanted to say that we were really pleased with the way Bertie handled the sale of our house – having moved before it has never been as easy or as painless as it was this time. We put our house up for sale on the 15th June and moved to our new property on the 20th August we can only say that was because of Bertie's professionalism from start to finish. The way he approaches his advertising is second to none he doesn't just take 2-3 photos he takes possibly hundreds and then picks the best to showcase your property and it works. He makes sure you are home to meet a prospective buyer and if they like it encourages them to come back for a second time and it works. Alongside this are his fees – where else can you find an agent that charges 0.5% ? He is on the end of the phone at anytime in case of any problems that arise in fact you actually feel that he is part of the family ! So if you are looking for an agent to sell your property look no further – you have found him – Bertie at Local Estate Agent. In our opinion an honest polite and professional sometimes funny man. Thank you Bertie – it was a pleasure doing business with you. P.S A week after we moved in our son and his wife put their house up for sale and sold it after 2 day's – once again Bertie came good."

"I have just bought a house through Local Estate Agent MK. The ambience created by Bertie Edwards from day one was very personal and professional. I was very well informed and communicated to during the negotiation period. As a first time buyer I had lots of questions which Bertie answered with absolute confidence and he was contactable at all times. I would like to thank 'Local Estate Agent MK' for helping me with my first home!"

"Well what can I say certainly not your average estate agent! Excellent excellent service from start to finish. Professional friendly and above all honest. You will not regret choosing Local Estate Agent to sell your home. Good luck with the business Bertie and best wishes"

"Evening Bertie. I would like to thank you for your services selling our property in Steeple Claydon. You came highly recommended to us from a friend we were not disappointed. You went that extra mile so that we got our house sold for the price we required it was nice to know we could contact you at any time of the day & even night and not like most that deal in office hours only. Your honesty reliability appearance & professionalism in your duties were nothing but exceptional. The money we saved with your rates paid for our solicitors fees & removals to our new property. I would strongly recommend anyone to use Local Estate Agent MK to sell their property"

"I must say Bertie was very helpful from the very first stages of our sale right till the end. He was very upfront and honest and kept us informed. Whenever we had a query he was always contactable and willing to help even in the evenings and weekends. I'm glad we chose Local Estate Agent MK not only because his selling fee was much lower than any of the other agents that came to see us but also because we received a very personal service from someone who was so positive keen and honest… Keep up the good work ."

"I could not recommend Bertie at Local Estate Agent any more highly. Bertie took the time to look round the house thoroughly before giving an estimate and once I decided to go with him the photos he took of the property were excellent. I felt that Bertie took real pride in his work and wanted the best sale for me and he took the time and care to ensure I got that. Bertie has responded to all my queries no matter what time or day and has at all times maintained a professional and friendly manner. I wasn't entirely sure whether I should use a small less well-known company but having done so I'm so glad I did. If I were to sell my house again I would definitely use Local Estate Agent and would recommend them to anyone. Thanks for everything Bertie you've been fantastic."

"WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GREAT TEAM!!!!!! We have been trying to sell our house with another agent and as soon as we switched to Local Estate Agent everything was done in a timely manner from the signing of the contract with Local Estate Agent to the completion of the sale. We started to get viewings and real interest in 3 days of posting the advertisement on Rightmove and the photos were excellent . We sold our property for a price we were happy with and we were kept fully updated from start to finish by Bertie If you're looking for an honest reliable pro-active estate agent this team will not let you down."

"Purchased through Local Estate Agent in Milton Keynes. Found the experience with Bertie a pleasant and easy one. Would recommend to anyone selling or buying to use Bertie he was so helpful & great with communication."

"Dear Bertie I am writing to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for your help during the recent purchase of my property in Milton Keynes. The service was very friendly and efficient. You always went the extra mile to get things done and often well beyond the call of duty. I would have no hesitation in recommending your agency to any one planning to buy or sell property in Milton Keynes. Many thanks again"

"To Whom it May Concern It is my pleasure to provide a feedback on my experience working with Bertie recently on the sale of my flat in Central Milton Keynes. I enjoyed working with him in several areas of the transaction: *His response at the initial stage when his company was approached was very prompt. He arranged a face-to-face meeting the same day and put the administrative structure in place for the sale once we agreed the terms *Bertie was very proactive in facilitating decision making and responding to queries between parties- vendor (myself) buyer and the solicitors. There was no need to chase him on any issue *He was very open straight forward and pragmatic terms that are rarely attributed to people in this trade *His overall fee was comparatively much more competitive and at the same time the services provided were comparatively far more satisfactory and effective I recommend him highly to those who want speedy responsive proactive and hands-on sales transaction. Thank you."
