First time letting

I have no experience of letting and Olivia was very informative and gave me clear and concise information. She was very friendly and put me at ease as I am very emotionally attached to my property.

Astoundingly excellent!

Astoundingly excellent. I have worked with some very poor estate and letting agents in the past and Hannels show themselves to be a cut above the rest. They keep you informed every moment, and work incredibly hard for you. We had many viewings and multiple offers within just one week. Cannot commend them enough. They prove that you can find excellent agents.

Very slow start after making it clear I was out to sell… I had found a property and my sale was dependent on securing…
Steve who valued and took photos was lovely…
But then the processes in place to get the property to market seriously need looking at… very disjointed and no clear guidance to the process…
Once we was on the market there was no issues… very clear communication and the property sold quickly
Special mention to Lauren and Gemma was amazing helping getting it over the line…
I would recommend but 4 stars for the slow start…

Hi Deborah!

Thank you for your review of your moving experience with Lauren, Gemma, Steve and the Littleover sales team.

We're pleased to see that after what was a slow start, the team provided clear communication and secured a sale quickly. We apologise that you felt the process of getting the property to market was a little disjointed - it's not our usual standard and we'll be looking into why to make sure it doesn't happen again. Nonetheless, the team pride themselves on delivering a top service and will be happy to see your comments about the process once everything was live.

On behalf of everyone here at Hannells, thank you for trusting us with the sale of your property. We wish you all the best in your new home and look forward to being of service to you again in the future when it's time for your next move!

Bonnie was polite and friendly when she came to value the property. She was very helpful and had excellent local knowledge and advice on marketing the property. When it comes to selling the house I would definitely consider using Hannell’s to do so

We recently had Oliver from Hannells…

We recently had Oliver from Hannells come to value our home, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more professional and genuine experience.

From the moment Oliver arrived, he was friendly, approachable and really took the time to listen to us and understand our home. What stood out most was how knowledgeable he was about the current market. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, including how he had arrived at the valuation and what was realistically achievable in the current market.

We really appreciated his honesty and the fact that there was absolutely no pressure. It felt like we were being given genuine, professional advice rather than simply being told a figure we wanted to hear.

Oliver was extremely thorough and made us feel confident that our home had been properly assessed. He also took the time to answer all of our questions, which gave us a much clearer picture of the market and what our options were.

It was a pleasure meeting Oliver,
We feel that we had received a truly personal service. He is a real credit to Hannells, and we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Thank you, Oliver,

Bad service

Persom valuating the house was late and didn't call to let us know. I had to call the office to find out. And then ive had an email to give a review and not had the valuation back. We were told we would get a email that same day and nothing has arrived?

Hi Jazz,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologise that the valuer arrived late without letting you know and that you haven’t yet received the valuation as promised. This certainly isn’t the usual standard of service we aim to provide.

We’ll check in with the valuer immediately and make sure the information is sent to you today, if it hasn’t already been sent.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience and lack of communication, and if there's anything more we can do to help, please feel free to get in touch.
