Estate Agents - recommendations/avoid?

[hazysunshine]

Hi, selling my house in Peckham (East Dulwich boarders) for the first time after buying 20 years ago. Can anyone suggest a good agent or ones to avoid please. Many thanks

I recently sold through truepennys who were pretty helpful.

I rate Pedders...

Avoid Foxtons and KFH I speak from not personal experience but those of friends locally who were both buying and selling.

We used Gareth James and they were fine.  I don't have experience (as a seller) of other agents though.

We used Wooster & Stock to sell in the same area last year (after another agent didn't work out). I liked that their folks have all worked there for 10+ years and they are very focused on this area.

Recommend Mundays - very professional

Avoid Foxtons.  Horrendous experience with them last year.

I recommend Dexters Peckham Rye.

I used No-Flies a couple of years ago. They were great. Loads of recommendations on here.

I remember all those glowing recommendations, but I haven't seen any mention of them anywhere lately.

Are they still going?

[Toldyouso]

Hi Sue - yes they are, just checked their website and they've received recent recommendations on here

I spoke to four agents when I sold last year. 

• One came back to me with neither a valuation nor an indication of what their charges were
• Mundays agree were very helpful when they came round, but never came back to me
• Another was critical of my flat and came back with a valuation far below what I ended up getting
• I ended up going with Ludlow Thompson as they came back to me with a valuation and told me what their charges were. However, they no longer exist (merged into Foxtons)

I guess my point is if you speak to a few agents then the decision might make itself. And I should have looked on here for recommendations!
