The Team at Christopher Hodgson were very helpful to deal with and I would definitely recommend for buying and selling. I was a buyer for a property they were selling. Special shout out to Rory and Laura. Rory was knowledgeable, positive, approachable and clearly knew his clients at a personable level. Laura was patient at progessing the sale, it took a while for solicitors to manage the selling and buying processes but we got there in the end and Laura kept moving the sale along. Really appreciated everyones help. Thanks so much, Chris.

My family have been connected with a house in Tankerton since the late 1800s and have owned it, through 3 generations, since 1945. Rather reluctantly we had taken the decision to sell it and requested quotations from several local Estate Agents. Christopher Hodgson provided the highest quote so we visited them and were struck immediately by the sheer professionalism of the firm led from the front by Will Raolfe.
He was knowledgeable, approachable and responded to any queries we had quickly and efficiently. He was instrumental in driving the whole process forward and was constantly in touch with both sets of solicitors. Whenever I was worried about any aspect of the sale he was able to provide sensible and helpful advice. Without this I am sure we would have not achieved the result that we did. I should add that every member of his staff with whom we had dealings acted in a friendly and helpful manner and I felt that we really were in the hands of a truly excellent company. I can recommend Christopher Hodgson without hesitation.

Christopher Hodgson have been amazing. They looked after our parents' property whilst it was rented out, any issues were always resolved quickly, they were always easy to talk to and always did their utmost. Upon the sale of the property, CH were sympathetic, professional and always kept us informed. Would highly recommend.

Good attitude and very professional throughout. They got the best value for the property, way better than a local competitor proposed. Very helpful given that I was remote from the property and helped handle an awkward buyer. A special call out for Jacqueline Bell who progresses the sale and manages communication. She was really helpful and very pleasant to work with.

We cannot recommend Christopher Hodgson Estate Agents highly enough. From the outset the sale of our property was conducted with the utmost professionalism, from the valuation to the photos and viewings. The agents were always punctual and structured the viewings to cause as little inconvenience to us as possible. Once the property was under offer the company really came into its own, we didn't quite realise at the time (not having moved for 20years) just how important the sales progression part of the process is. Jacqueline looked after us completely keeping us updated regularly, advising us on things we were unsure of, basically making herself available at any step of the way for reassurance, most definitely working in our best interest and going the extra mile.
Our sale which potentially should have been quite straight forward on paper, didn't quite work out that way with but with these people working on our behalf, gave us the confidence to carry on and ultimately complete the sale. We would like to thank you all very much, keep up the amazing work you do.

Christopher Hodgson have been fantastic in dealing with the sale of my property. Particularly Jacqui, who dealt with the progression of the sale, which wasn't the easiest at times. Jacqui went above and beyond in making it happen, offering first class customer service alongside remaining a high level of professionalism at all times. I can't recommend them highly enough. 5*!

Recently purchased a home through Christopher Hodgson. While I can't comment on fees and value, as the buyer I can say that they were a pleasure to work with. Questions to the seller were followed up promptly. Jacqueline Bell, in particular, was very pleasant, efficient, and very informative with respect to our new location.

Have purchased through lockdown and been extremely pleased with the level of communication. Also the team at Christopher Hodgson truly worked like a team. It didnt feel like there was any competition between negotiators and everyone was happy to help. Jacqueline the sales progressor was always very responsive. Would definitely recommend.

We sold our house through Christopher Hodgson and were impressed from start to finish. Charlie came to value our property last year, but personal circumstances meant that we delayed it for many months. We never felt any 'hard sell' or pressure from Charlie to get the house on the market, which was really refreshing. Charlotte was professional, friendly and efficient. William took fantastic photos.
We felt that they matched potential buyers really well, avoiding time wasters. We got an offer quickly. We'd read lots of great reviews about Jacqui, the Sales Progresser, so were please when she came on board. The reviews are justified. She was absolutely integral in keeping the sale moving. A credit to the company. I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you all at Christopher Hodgson for making a stressful experience bearable!.

Really fantastic service from everybody at Christopher Hodgson throughout the sale and purchase of our houses. I called so many times for advice and was always guided in such a professional and empathetic manor. At no point did I feel that I was an annoyance, even though I probably was! I was always able to speak to someone and get the help that I needed from them and felt so supported. Definitely a cut above the other estate agents who often transfer you through to a central team who no nothing about anything! Highly recommend them.

Simply the best estate agent I have ever dealt with! Technically they weren't even my agents, (dealing with my purchase), but they worked tirelessly making contact with every aspect of the chain from top to bottom. Cuneyt and Jackie were consummate professionals, enthusiastic, personable and above all excellent at returning calls and very prompt at answering queries. My purchase incorporated a complicated chain and the successful completion was due in no small part to their efforts. If only all estate agents could be this efficient and professional!

We bought our home 13 years ago through Christopher Hodgson, and asked them to sell it for us when it came time to move agai 13 years later. They were incredibly professional from the initial valuation and marketing through to the final stages of sale. Charlie was great in the viewing period, keeping us informed on the viewings with clear and concise feedback. And Jacqui was enormously helpful in the later stages as we approached completion. I would not hesitate to recommend Christopher Hodgson. An excellent service.

Christopher Hodgson provided a professional service from start to finish in what turned out to be a more tricky than anticipated process. They represented our property very well, achieved excellent coverage and provided us with the information we needed to achieve the best buyer and price. When things got a little choppy, a dedicated member of the team was constantly at the end of the phone or email able to provide support and chase solicitors that led to a very satisfactory conclusion to our sale. And, we are in our new home before Christmas.
Thank you! If you want your property in Whitstable and surrounds professionally presented and welcome the support of qualified and highly experienced staff, Christopher Hodgson are the best choice and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

We bought a house for which Christopher Hodgson was the agent and were incredibly impressed by their professionalism, efficiency, and pro-activity. Even though they were not working 'for us' they helped sort out issues with our own buyer when the agent we were selling through did not. They were available immediately on email and phone and we had one dedicated person - Jacqueline Bell - who was managing the process throughout.
She was personable, friendly and easily contactable and did all the chasing of various parties in the sale when issues came up - even though it was issues in our own sale that our own agent should have dealt with. She updated us by email as soon as there was any news and was by far the most helpful person in the whole process. Next time I would immediately go to Christopher Hodgson on the basis of this experience and would recommend them to anyone 100%.

We both sold our old house and bought our current house through Christopher Hodgson. All the staff were helpful, efficient and highly professional. Communication was excellent. Their written information was good and details of our property beautifully produced. At all times we were kept informed of what was going on. Overall we could not have had more expert advice and support for both transactions.
