Report
We recently bought a house through Christopher Batten Wimborne and were incredibly happy with the service they provided. The house we purchased went through probate so the process took about 5 months but communication from Chris and the team was fantastic - we felt they went above and beyond for us. We would happily use again and highly recommend.

Report
We viewed many properties with Christopher Batten and found all the staff very helpful and friendly. We were kept informed on the progress of the sale and we would highly recommend them. We particularly had lots of viewings with Dennis and found his knowledge of the area very helpful.

Report
I really appreciated the advice, support and guidance provided by Sue Melhuish during our recent purchase of 60 Bridleway, Colehill. The whole process was in danger of collapsing at the final hurdle until Sue took control on our behalf, chasing all the relevant parties and perhaps most importantly, from our point of view, keeping us in the loop on a regular basis. Thanks again Sue your contribution was invaluable.

Very Disappointed having made an Offer on a Wimborne Property last Thursday, Received a Call that Evening to say the Vendor needed to discuss the Offer overnight with her Family, But since then Have had no communication from Christopher Batten at ALL as yet, PM Following MONDAY. Surely in this day and age it's Just Curtesy to keep a prospective purchaser Informed

Report
We have recently used Christopher Batten for a house purchase. All the team that we dealt with were most professional and supportive from start to completion. Nothing was ever too much trouble when we contacted them and they responded immediately. We would thoroughly recommend them and definitely look to using again when and if we buy/sell a property.
