We've just purchased a property with Thorps and can't fault them. From start to finish we was kept in the loop and they made everything as easy as possible. All the staff have been fab! Would definitely recommend!

We were renting with Thorps for a year before our landlord unfortunately decided to sell the property. Louise, Trina and Alisha were amazing throughout our tenancy, which we really appreciated after having a difficult time with our previous lettings agency. It's a shame we couldn't have stayed with Thorps for our next tenancy, but of course with the pandemic, we were very limited with options! Everyone we worked with has been so friendly, cooperative and caring from start to finish.
Though we didn't directly work with the estate agent team, we had David visit us to valuate our landlord's property. Out of David and the other estate agents that our landlord requested to visit (Nest and Hunters) David was by far the best and took his time to go through the house thoroughly, whereas the other estate agents didn't bother to look in the garden or ask us any questions - hence why we encouraged our landlord to sell the house through Thorps! I would speak very highly of Thorps :-) 10 out of 10!

We would highly recommend Thorps estate agents , David came out to our home and instantly we could tell his team would be the right people to sell our property, no pushy sales pitch just extremely professional and honest. They sold our house within a week
Faultless service, nothing was to much trouble , they always answered our questions and returned our calls and couldnt do enough for us. We would also recommend having the video tour it was well worth the money. Thank you to all the team and wishing you all the best for the future

We can't praise David and the sales team highly enough. We had to sell at a distance and they were brilliant. They got lots of viewings and we had offers in very quickly. When the gales blew the fence down close to completion they arranged for the repair. They did many other things to make what could have been a painful process completely painless. Thank you so much.

David has sold 3 of my properties in and around the Enderby area. He and his team are professional, polite and know exactly what they are doing. Fantastic support from the whole team for each of my properties and the 5 stars are truly deserved. Thank you for everything that you have done for me. AT.

David and team sold my property with relative ease whereas other bigger agencies failed. The genuine and personal approach was really appreciated and a clear differentiator. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Thorps. Excellent service

I can't thank Emma and David at Thorps enough. Our house was sold within a week, seven weeks later we've completed and living at our new house. David had excellent knowledge of the local market, and was very confident we would would be able to achieve the asking price, which we did with a cash buyer. Thank you again to Emma, David and the Thorps team, i'd highly recommend.

Thorps restored my faith in estate agents! David was very professional and kept me fully informed of any updates on prospective buyers and throughout the sale. There was no need for me to chase for updates which was very appreciated. I would definitely use them again.

Thorps estate agents provided a fantastic service to us when we were selling our home; always very quick and responsive to all our enquiries about progress and we sold our property within a month for the asking price! What more can you ask for? We chose Thorps to market our home in Enderby, as they are a family owned business and didn't give us the 'hard sell'. All of the staff were very friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. We were kept updated on all viewings and we were very happy with the service we received.

We have just moved with Thorpe's and they were excellent!!! The staff were always happy and helpful, if anything needed doing or chasing up (9/10 they were already on it, but if not..) it was done. They would never leave you hanging and always contacted you back when they said they would. Amazing service with amazing staff, so so please we went with them in the end. Even the people who came to view the house commented on how nice and helpful the staff were. Don't think I would sell my house with anyone else. Definitely 5* service!!!!

The best agent I have ever come in to contact with! As a buyer, I was not really 'the client' but David and Amanda were so helpful regardless, chasing my solicitor, my buyer, everyone who needed poking! updating us more than my own agent. They are reliable, honest and an absolute delight to work with! No games, no bull, just delightful friendly team that went above and beyond every time even helping me find a plumber last minute for a job I wanted to do. Thank you so much all @ thorps 100/10 for service
