Don’t just take our word for it, read what our customers have to say about their experience working with us.
“Very informative, responsive and added real value.”
“I am grateful for the quick response and quality service.”
“Extremely helpful and fast at answering any queries”
“My first impression of Ashtons (Redbourn) was Emily Morgan when I walked through the door seeking a probate valuation on my late fathers property. Emily was very helpful and also introduced me to the firms solicitors as I was at the beginnings of that process and had only stuck a pin in the phone directory. Emily's recommendation got me a free initial consultation which I was also happy with and hence went on to use the Ashtons / Taylor Walton combo for all matters to do with winding up my late fathers estate. I've been very pleased with Ashtons and all the staff, but will single out Emily for additional thanks for her help in getting me started and being available and supportive throughout.”
“We have had amazing services with Ashtons, Hannah in the the Sales Coordination side of the process has been fantastic all the way through. She has pushed things along, kept us in the loop and was just generally really lovely.”
“Charlotte has been brilliant from start to finish, friendly and very helpful whilst a level headed calm but firm nature that helped keep our buyer happy and push things forwards.”
“The service was fantastic and I cannot fault any of it. Chloe has been amazing with keeping us updated with the sale process and also gently chasing me for the bits I needed to do. The sale bought up a lot of emotions given it was my late parents house but she couldn't have been kinder and empathetic to everything I was going through. She was amazing and very helpful with all the random questions I bought to her.”
“We are very pleased with the level of communication, speed and friendliness. Having never let a property before, this has been invaluable.”
“All very helpful and professional.”
“Excellent service. Thank you.”
“I am highly impressed with Nicola’s proactive and responsible approach. During the recent emergency replacement of our boiler due to safety issues, she coordinated everything seamlessly between the landlord, contractors, and us. The entire process—from quotes to completion—took only 4 working days. I especially appreciate the landlord’s kindness in lending us a heater on the very first day. The plumber, Mike, was also incredibly professional and took the time to explain the new thermostat functions. Although being without hot water for five days was a challenge, Nicola’s urgent follow-up and genuine care made us feel fully supported. She is a trustworthy and exceptional agent.”
“Tiegan has always been very helpful, very responsive and has offered great advice in difficult circumstances”
