Bond Residential seem to value their home buying clients over everyone else. Our emails were ignored even after sending all of our details to view a property. On the day of the viewing, we were sent a very dismissive email completely ignoring our previous email. Quite an unpleasant experience.

We recently sold our house through Bonds in Chelmsford and couldn't recommend them highly enough. The staff were extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Melvin did a lot of chasing for us behind the scenes to help alleviate some of the usual stress that comes with moving home. Very professional.

Bond Residential made quite a protracted sale as stress-free as possible. As first time buyers, they were informative, quick to respond and supportive throughout. Melvin in particular, but also Jack and Richard, we're really great to get on with - you were always speaking to a familiar name and never got passed round. Would highly recommend

Bond were able to sell our house very quickly and for the asking price. they were also the agent for the home we purchased. They were very honest with us and highly professional. Throughout the process they chased solicitors to keep the ball rolling and kept me up to date. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy and sell.

We decided to list our house for sale when I was pregnant hoping to move before our baby was born. We ended up in a complicated chain and moving with a 4 month old baby. The only thing that made the whole process easier was the service we had from Bond. They were constantly chasing solicitors and other estate agents in the chain who were useless and bad at responding, they always kept us up to date, and really gave us peace of mind that they were on it.
Every call I received they would check how my pregnancy was progressing and once he was born always asked after the baby which was lovely and made it such a familiar service. They always checked if it was a good time to speak and really couldn't have done any more for us. If you're thinking of selling your house I would 100% recommend Bond, they definitely earned every penny in the sale of our house!

We recently sold our property through Bond Residential, Lee Mann was extremely helpful & knowledgeable on setting a realistic sale price and provided data to back up this advice. We had the added stress of a potential buyer withdrawing their offer, but Lee was instantly on the phone re-assuring us to keep calm and we will find another buyer very soon. Melvin was also very helpful in keeping us up-to-date with developments in relation to the sale and purchase. Don't always choose the agent who gives you the highest valuation, choose the agent who gives the best advice and customer service, I would definitely use Bonds again in the future!

We recently completed on the sale of our property with Bond Residential, and the service provided was excellent. From the 'get-go' when Lee Mann visited us to provide a valuation of our property, Bond Residential have been extremely efficient and professional at all times. Communication from Lee Mann, Chris Carline, Melvin Tuttlebee, Matt. Rampersad and Jack Wilson was all very prompt and informative.
Bond arranged many viewings of our property and consequently found us the right buyer. We would not hesitate to recommend Bond Residential to our family, friends or colleagues for their property selling or buying needs. Many thanks for providing an excellent service! Kind Regards, &.

All staff were honest and to the point. Thank you for being so understanding during this very stressful period. You must hear it all the time, but to me it was my first experience for many years selling and buying a property and I thank you for not making it any harder.

Purchased house through Bond Residential at the back end of 2014. My initial contact was via phone and registering my interest in the type of property i was looking for. The initial house we inquired about had fully booked up their viewing spots. I let the agent know what we were looking for and if a viewing slot became available then to let us. know. The next day i was contacted regarding another property that was not yet fully listed on the market.
We had first viewing of the property and organised a second viewing two days later, after which we made an offer. I was constantly kept up to date by their helpful and friendly staff and felt like they genuinely cared about my purchase. Would recommend to anyone purchasing a new house, in particular the Chelmsford branch whom i have nothing but praise for. Considering this was my first time buying a property, between Bonds Residential and my solicitors, it was more straightforward than i could imagine.
