Don’t just take our word for it, read what our customers have to say about their experience working with us.
“Ashtons have been a professional and friendly estate agent.”
“All the team at Ashtons are usually very friendly and helpful. They mostly deal with issues in timely manner. The Contractors are also mostly very good. Would definitely recommend to other customers looking to rent through them.”
“Staff are all very friendly and helpful. Maintenance issues have been dealt with swiftly.”
“Chris always keeps me in the loop and provides good advice and support when finding new tenants.”
“Abbey was great with marketing the property & has great knowledge of what buyers want to see, she sold the property in a matter of weeks - great work! Post offer, Grace has been amazing. Nothing is ever too much trouble, she’s very calm & professional.”
“I thought everyone I dealt with was highly efficient, but I have to single out Lucy Gadsby who was outstanding from start to finish. Very many thanks to you all.”
“From Tom to Lucy very professional”
“Chris was excellent, kept us up to date throughout the process and explained everything well”
“Sandy Gorton was a godsend from the minute he called to enquire about the possibility of selling our property. We had used another local agent for two months with a lot of viewings and no credible interest in our property. Sandy left no stone unturned when marketing our house and we were delighted to get an offer within just a week of going live with Ashtons. The after sale was expertly managed by James Plumb and we couldn't be more grateful to the St Albans team after finally moving into our new home.”
“All staff were great, polite and helpful.”
“Over recent months we have dealt with James at the St. Albans office over the sale of our property who we must say kept us regularly updated on progress and always came back to us quickly re. any queries we had. He certainly does his job well.”
“Grace was the best sales co-ordinator I have experienced - she kept us informed which helped the long, drawn out process feel like it would actually result in my house purchase. Without her I think I would have given up and bought something else! Thank you Grace”
