Outstanding Team! After speaking to several local agents I decided to go with Theydons for the sale of my house. Anthony’s pitch was brilliant, not pushy at all, he was very knowledgeable of the local market and talked me through the whole sales process. The house was sold within the first week. Lisa did an amazing job getting together the brochure- it was fantastic. Alec went over and beyond to get the sale over line to a very tight deadline over coming the few bumped we had along the way . He was very calm and professional, liaising and chasing people when need at the same time keeping me well informed. I can’t thank Alec and his team enough. A truly amazing Team. I would highly recommend using Theydons.
A wonderful family business with years of experience which is highly reflected in their calm and reassuring manner. We loved working with Theydons and have bought and sold houses with them. I would highly recommend this professional agency and would use them again!
We were absolutely delighted with the service that Theydons provided. Alec and Anthony were thoroughly professional, supportive and above all friendly. They made a difficult process for us easy and hassle free. We have no hesitation in recommending Theydons to anyone who is considering buying or selling a home.
Theydons were very professional and helpful in selling our Abrahams flat in Leytonstone, obtaining a number of offers and providing helpful advice on each. They kept us fully informed throughout the process and were always available to answer our questions. They worked well with our solicitor.
I would thoroughly recommend Theydons. We used them to sell 5 flats and manage various lettings . They always offered patient and sensible advice and were prepared to go the extra mile to help see a deal go through or a niggling matter sorted. They did not overcharge and were a pleasure to deal with.
>Alec and his team were excellent throughout the entire sales process. Responsive, open and calm – even when faced with the odd curve ball. Couldn’t recommend them enough.
We had a fantastic experience selling and buying a home with Alec, Anthony and the Theydons team. After speaking to a few different estate agents, we chose Anthony to represent our property as we knew that he could be engaging and knowledgeable with buyers without overselling or being pushy. Theydons did a great job of the photos and ad, with a huge attention to detail and holding us to a high standard! Our property received an offer within a week of being on the market. We also then found our new property via Theydons, and Alec was an absolute star: keeping us updated, chasing down solicitors, and essentially bringing an element of calm and common sense to everyone involved through what was (at times) a very stressful experience. We would not hesitate to work with the Theydons team again. Thank you!
We very pleased to say that we were lucky to have Theydons with us on our search for a new place. They were absolutely professionals and provided an excellent service during all the process. What a great experience! they made everything be easier. We are more than satisfied and THANKFUL for all. More than recommended.
Theydons have helped my family buy and sell houses for over 27 years, the most recent being a sale that successfully completed in May this year. We have always been very pleased with the service that they provide and happily recommend them whenever the subject of buying and selling properties arises.
Theydons have rented my properties in Leytonstone for over 25 years. Theydons are always very professional, communication is excellent, they are very trustworthy and they have helped me complete some large renovation projects. I would highly recommend Theydons for both Property Management.
