As a first time buyer, the team at HP - Chelmsford have been hugely supportive throughout, ensuring the process ran smoothly. Particular shout outs to Sam, who managed the initial process in a very professional and proactive manner, providing some much needed reassurance, and Jo, who's mortgage advice proved invaluable in securing the best possible deal. I would have no hesitation in using HP again for future moves / recommending their services to friends and family.

I recently used the Home Partnership to find my first home. The whole experience was great. The team are excellent - responsive to enquiries and keep you regularly updated throughout what can be a lengthy process. Sam Parker in particular is an excellent Property Consultant. Recommend HP to anyone looking for their first/next home.

We engaged with Home Partnership to sell our property and used their Premium Plan 3 as thought it best suited the nature of the property we were selling. They acted professionally throughout and we really felt they were acting on our behalf, escorted viewings, prompt follow ups, regular updates through to due diligence to validate the final chain. Nothing was too much trouble. Really pleased with their premium service and features of drone aerial footage and the Matterport 3D images and photos. Can't recommend The Home Partnership enough. Thank you to Lee and the team for what they've done.

We're probably one of HP's longest customers after a slow move, but it wasn't down to them at all (we found the perfect house for us so we held on for ages for it!). Kept us in the loop, gave us sound advice, kept our buyer in the know and Jo kept poking solicitors in the chain for us too. They give a personal touch and have great green credentials and awards. Definitely recommended and would sell with them again!

My purchase was completed through Home Partnership and I'm very impressed with them. They are professional, responsive, and unfailingly courteous. Communication very good, significantly better than another well known local estate agent I sold through

Every part of the business have been amazing start to finish. Not only have they arranged excellent products and services they went above and beyond by consistently intervening and chasing the conveyancing firm often spending hours on hold. The team kept us updated all the time. We received a very friendly, professional and personalised service.

Used HP to sell my late Dads property. From start to finish the service was excellent. Jo Stewart was supportive, patient and helpful from valuation and dealing with after sale. Sam was great handling all the viewings. Would recommend them to anyone.
