    What our clients say

    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      Julie Lawrence, Strathfield Gardens
      After five of our friends selling their properties through Tom Ashwood and recommending the agency to each other, we decided to list our Mum's flat with them.The property had an open day for viewings within a few days of signing up and we received an acceptable offer straight away.That fell through but fortunately there was another buyer at the same offer that had been held in reserve.The sale has now completed and everything went through very smoothly, we were kept updated at each turn by either Tom or Harvey and feel the service we received was excellent.The members at the agency were very efficient, friendly and professional at all times.We in turn would recommend this agency to anyone wanting to sell their property.

      Ruhel Amin, Hurstbourne Gardens
      I sold & purchased through Tom Ashwood. Great service, and attention given to our needs. They really take the time to understand the client which adds a personal touch to their service. Humza & Harvey were excellent to deal with throughout the transaction of both deals. I can see why they've got the Barking area on a choke hold. These guys are the ones you want to sell your house or buy off of. Great guys. Thank you!

      Phillip Crisp, Pedley House
      Thank you to Tom Ashwood for supporting us through our leasehold flat sale. We got an honest estimation of price and likely length of sale. They delivered on the sale price and got us an offer sooner than expected. We were supported through the ups and downs of conveyancing and our sale completed. Would recommend.

      I used Tom Ashwood real estate through recommendation and i must say the service i received was first class. They were approachable, informative and stayed consistently efficient throughout the whole process of selling our home. Their knowledge of the housing market and their approach were beyond what you can expect from a high street estate agency. Would 100% recommend Tom Ashwood real estate and absolutely will use them again. Thank you team for your hard work!

      The team at Tom Ashwood Real Estate have been a breath of fresh air to deal with throughout our recent house sale. Tom is hugely experienced and stayed composed throughout in helping us navigate what is now a tough sellers market. Their processes ensured we sold for our target price within a quick timescale. We couldn't recommend them enough

      "Selling a house is like having a mini heart attack"This was the advice from my freind who was a seasoned pro on the housing front; so as you can imagine I was concerned as to what we were letting ourselves in for after 23years of living in a family home. Finding Tom Ashwood was a good experinece and more importantly, Tom was willing to tell me the truth about the market and risk losing a client - this was the value of working with them. Throughout the numerous difficulties we faced, we could always rely on him and his team to give advice and encouragement. Priceless (and no heart attack)

They are really committed to what they do and care about providing the best level of service for clients. Their assistance on progressing transactions quickly has been absolutely invaluable - whether that be chasing solicitors or assisting with completing client paperwork. Highly recommend this team to anyone!

      Gohar Naqvi, Eastbrook Drive
      Tom assisted me and my wife in the sale of our house a few months ago. We had an amazing experience with him and he was very professional from start to finish. Tom's team are also all great and we're pleasant to work with. Tom's knowledge is amazing and his guidance during difficult times was a bonus, he always reassured and guided us in difficult times during the process. I would like to thank Tom as without his efforts and guidance I believe selling our house would of been a lot more stressful then it needed to be.I would recommend Tom to anyone who needs to sell a house, as I had nothing but a great experience from him and his team.Thank you and keep up the good work.

      The most important thing was the advice Tom Ashwood gave about the timing of listing our property and the realistic sale price. Both were spot on and have resulted in a straightforward sale. Harvey was our contact and was a great communicator - thanks!!

      Sam Gross, Storey's
      I have worked with Tom on a number of occasions, the service received has been nothing short than exceptional! Tom stood out to me due to his approach, attention to detail when marketing and the strategies implemented leading to us now agreeing many sales at optimum prices, the quality of buyer has always been great which must be down to how Tom carefully vets potential buyers and maintaining communication between all parties.

      Very professional, selling our property went very smoothly, we were constantly updated on the progress and would highly recommend.

      Oliver Barter, Netherfield Gardens
      As first time buyers a lot of the house buying process was unknown to us and online research doesn't always prepare you for the actual buying process. Tom has been great throughout - very responsive and very patient in explaining the process. I've appreciated his honesty about the reality of different stages of buying a house and he's been really helpful in advising how to handle the curveballs that have inevitably popped up. I'd recommend him to anyone looking to buy in east London and if we ever sell in the future, he's the first person I'll get in touch with.
