Highly Recommend

Can't fault them at all. We're still waiting to sell, but there is no time wasted by being unnecessarily contacted or having viewers funneled through the property for no reason, like we had at our previous agency AQ. Highly recommend.

Pleasant Meeting

Rob was so nice, pleasant and informative about moving. He certainly knows what he is talking about. Am considering moving and Rob explained everything in straight layman's terms. I learnt quite a bit from him. Thank you Rob and enjoyed meeting you.

I would not hesitate in recommending James and his team at Richard Poytnz & Co. - very professional, knowledgeable and nothing too much trouble. All the team are courteous, helpful and ready with assistance and advice every step of the way.
They conduct themselves with a positive attitude but not at all pushy or intimidating. Many years ago I purchased my first house through Richard Poytnz himself and recently dealing with James and his team - thank you for everything guys and wish each of you continued success 👍

Excellent and friendly service

Excellent and friendly service, could not fault any of James's team we have had dealings with. Transactions processed without complications, and they kept in contact every step of the way on a very regular basis providing us with updates.

From our previous experiences of Estate Agents on the Island, Poyntz are by far the best

Hi James reply.

Hi James. Do you have a photo of my forklift on your house drive? Apco was an active business and (3.8tonne) was moved by hgv to new business site in Burnt Mills. Fork lift on your drive, this is total fiction.
Review is to inform any company selling land for building, that a conflict will in my experience, arise. Andrew.

The best on the Island!

I cannot rate Richard Poyntz highly enough! Our journey with them started in February of this year when we viewed a property that we were interested in. Having bought several properties in the past I was impressed with the organisation of the simple things, e.g. the reminder texts/emails and follow-up calls. After having a bad experience with our own Mortgage advisor Poyntz stepped in to help us organise a mortgage. We then decided we wanted to sell the house we were living in and Poyntz made the process quick and easy and managed to help us achieve a sale within 8 weeks! After this Poyntz arranged other viewings for us. Sadly we didn't end up buying a property advertised with them but still, Rob went above and beyond to work with the sales progressor from another agent to ensure we made it through to the point of exchange and was always there at the end of an email or the phone to give us advice. Poyntz really do treat their clients like family and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to buy/sell a property in Canvey Island or neighbouring areas. Thank you Leanne

Best Estate Agents! 😊

Richard poyntz are by the far the best estate agents on the island, I couldn’t recommend them enough. They are all so friendly and helpful and no task is ever too big for them. They made the process of selling my property so easy, and took the stress off of me, and I couldn’t thank them enough for all of their help along the way.

They are such a wonderful team, and they kept me up to date all the time of any updates. Honestly can’t put into words how thankful I am! Best Estates Agents ever!

Really impressive service

We were most impressed with the service from Richard Poyntz and Co. We were selling the property as executors, and the team really went the extra mile to help us with a number of issues, and were always extremely responsive. They helpfully recommended a number of tradesmen to undertake jobs for us, who were also responsive, professional and reasonably priced. We couldn't fault them. Thank you.

Best Agent on the Island!!!!

Poyntz are by far the best agent on the island and my journey to sold wasn't the easiest but they were right their beside me to reassure me, jump on and progress any issues that arose.

They provided me with an amazing service with constant updates around my progression, they really are a great team and it was an absolute pleasure working with them.

I cannot thank them enough for getting my sale across the line.

Their knowledge of the market shone through and the service provided was of such high quality that I would not hesitate to use them again in the future and would highly recommended them to anyone looking to start their journey.

Thank you much to Poytnz and the Team for everything you did!!!!
