Happy with National Residential

We wanted to sell our rented house with vacant possession but had a difficult sitting tenant. National Residential helped us all the way by arranging survey, viewings, liaising with the tenant and eventually sell the property despite the current pandemic situation. I am very happy with their professional service and would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you National Residential!

Really impressed with National Residential

Really impressed with David and his team. I had a difficult property to sell which involved an uncooperative sitting tenant and persistent lockdown due to the pandemic. Well done and I highly recommend National Residential!

My experience purchasing a flat with…National Residential Estate Agent

My experience purchasing a flat with National Residential Estate Agent was both professionally and smoothly handled. National Residential also recommended the solicitors I used (Holbrook & Co.) who were also very professional and efficient. Thank you all for a very smooth purchase.

Hi Lee, thanks very much for your kind review and for remaining patient while we worked to rehouse the tenant to a council property to enable you to purchase with vacant possession. Sorting tenant issues like this is not straight forward, particulalry with Covid-19 and stretched councils causing big delays, but we got it completed in 3 months and thanks for staying the course. We hope you love your new house and all the best for the New Year. Thanks again, David and the NatRes team

Great service all round

I would highly recommend National Residential. I purchased a property via National Residential this year and David and his team were professional and went out of their way to be helpful. David was constantly chasing both solicitors on either side to get things moving, and was definitely welcomed. Hope to work with you again in the near future.

I wish I could give more stars to…

I wish I could give more stars to National Residential for their staff to work very efficiently. At the end of October, we called to book an appointment but I think no one was in office at that time but after a while called me back and promptly booked an appointment. After that, we liked the house and quick response to call and very friendly staff helped us to buy our first house. The staff stayed in touch with us throughout our buying house contract until we got the keys to our house. Even after that, they sent us best wishes msg for a new home. I want to convey my special thanks to National Residential trough this platform and best wishes for their company. Best estate agent company deserve more than 10 stars.
Your sincerely

Friendly, helpful, professional service with the reassuring years of experience to back it up

We received excellent service from the start when purchasing our new home. Although we hit a few delays along the way, National Residential kept us up to speed as often as possible and did their very best to keep the ball rolling to get us in our new home as swiftly as they could. Overall we experienced friendly, helpful and professional service. Very easy company to deal with and we are now very happy and settled in our new house.
We would highly recommend using National Residential.

All of the team were very helpful especially David and Rachel who went out of their way to make sure that we received the best service possible. We had quite a long delay in the purchase of our house but were reassured by both David and Rachel. They did everything that they possibly could to get things complete as soon possible for us. Thanks again to all of the team.

Hi Samantha, thanks for your kind review. I take on board your comments, but your sale was somewhat complicated as you were in a chain and purchasing an onward property with the help of another solicitor. Our buyer for your property was able to complete sooner than your onward purchase was ready, but we could have coordinated matters more efficiently in the final week. We still achieved a fantastic result of selling in 19 days and completing in 64 days – especially for a chain. Thanks again and best wished for Xmas in your new home. David and the Nat Res Team

National Residential was great to work with.

National Residential was a great agents to work with, with it being my first house I was unsure of the process. However National Residential kept me up to date with updates throughout the whole process, and when it was quiet on my end they were checking in for updates my end. The customer service was really spot on from start to finish.
I would recommend National Residential for anybody who would like a quick sell as they really push for it, or anybody looking for a pleasant process.

Hi Kyle, thanks for your kind review. We had lengthy delays with your completion - partly due to your lender taking time to approve the Coal Mining Report - but we got there in the end. Thanks for staying proactive throughout! We all wish you well in your new home and have a fab Xmas holiday. David and the Team

Don't bother wasting your time

Don't bother wasting your time trying to sell to/with this company. The company offers a disgustingly low amount, miss out key property features, change the valuation price in under 2 hours and the supposed "valuation" team are unable to accurately value your house. If you want a sale and you are not desperate, use a traditional estate agent instead. Scratch that - even if I was desperate - I wouldn't use this company!

FURTHER UPDATE - PLEASE READ! In response to the company's reply below, please note that I was firstly offered 185K, the number of viewers was actually 9-15 (so clearly the facts below are incorrect) and then subsequently this price was reduced by 10K (now 175K) in under 2 hours! After Adil consulted with the person who remains unnamed, may I add, I was then told he "overlooked" a garage and a driveway that is clearly visible in the first image on Rightmove. Is this such a thorough job?? I think not.

Further to this, Tom, the Sales Manager, himself, then asked if I would be willing to remove this review? I think that says a lot about this company... I should also add that other properties in the area have recently sold for around £235K - so, again, clearly shows a lack of valuation knowledge! Not to mention, the sales manager himself admitted "I do apologise for the service received earlier". I think this shows that even your own staff thought the service offered was substandard and definitely not an unfair or an unwarranted review! They even agreed that they would be equally as disappointed. With this in mind, I will therefore not be removing/upgrading the review and would only downgrade to 0 stars if I could!

Hi Andy

Tom and Adil both contacted you again to ask you to update or remove your review as we believed it was incorrect and unfair. Especially as I personally assisted a new member of our team to do his valuation and Adil called you back to explain. Regardless, I hope you get the price you are looking for.

Your property has been unsold for 2 months at £200K because it is not in the same condition as those that sell for more. We run an auction and advised you it would sell for no mortgage than £180-185K in 28 days. You might sell for £190K in 3-6 months. This is our opinion borne out by the facts.

I personally took the time to go through your sale with Adil who is doing valuation training l as I live off Hough Green in Chester and not far from your property.


1. This 3 bed semi property STC £165K https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/73500550#/ -
2. Your property https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/86412130#/ - unsold at £200K
3. This one STC at £219K https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/79796407#/ - this has conservatory; a block paved drive, large garage and decking. This adds about £10K for the conservatory; and £15-20K for the garage and the block paving and decking. So, we would expect your to sell for around £185-190K in comparison

In addition working on these 3 comparable I also asked Adil how many viewings you received at £200K in the last 2 months. Adil mentioned this was 6. For a property to sell for the price its on the market for we expect 6 viewings/month so from your number of viewings this also suggested you would sell for £185-190K through the estate agent within 3-6 months.

If a property sells for £185-190K through an agent in 3-6 months, then through our online auction we would sell for £175-180 in 28 days – hence Adil offered leaving you with a new price of around £175K net fixed price (as we pay legal fees and don’t charge agents fees) and this is a fair offer to make looking at the valuations.

So, Adil did a thorough job on the valuation but called you back to double check some facts and t ask whether you could work with this price. I believe he has done a good job and I personally helped him do it. Maybe emailing this valuation information would have helped you understand it more, but most clients don’t ask for it so its not something we email every time.

I would like to ask that you reconsider removing or updating your 1* review as we do thorough jobs with every aspect of our work but maybe we could have done a little better in our communication this time?

We bought our first property with National Residential. Their methods of contacting you are quite unusual for an estate agent but we found texting to be much more efficient in the end. They were always very friendly and very active in chasing up details. They are not your every day estate agents but they got the job done quickly and efficiently.

Happy Customer

There is obviously a risk element when using a modern auction site as there is a chance that you could lose your deposit, if for some reason your circumstances change and your unable to complete. However we had all the confidence in National Residential and the whole process was quick and relatively stress free. We would happily use this company again.

Purchasing via National Residential

We hadn’t heard of a ‘modern auction’ until we came across National Residential. Our experience from our first enquiry through to completion of the property purchase was excellent. The communication we received from National Residential was clear, convenient (i.e. through text and email) and we received frequent updates during the negotiation and sale development. Our position as purchasers was considered professionally and we were offered a certain amount of flexibility in order for us to go ahead with the purchase. The service received throughout felt personal, professional and thorough. The experience overall was seamless and efficient. We were apprehensive that National Residential would be less involved than traditional estate agents but we found that a representative was in regular contact with solicitors and kept all parties updated with any developments.

I wouldn’t hesitate to trust National Residential with the sale or purchase of future property.
