Fantastic Estate Agent

I was previously with another estate agent who's service was less than optimal therefore I decided to move to Townend.

From the offset the service has been professional and responsive at every stage. Throughout the sale they have kept me informed at every stage and unlike my previous estate agent they proactively provided updates and rang if any issues arose rather than me having to chase.

The same service was provided by the entire team.

I would happily recommend Townsend Estate Agents to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive estate agent.

Fantastic Support for First-Time Buyers

We had a fantastic experience with Townend Estate Agents. As first-time buyers, the whole process felt pretty daunting at times, but the support we received was exceptional from start to finish.

A big shout-out to Jake and Josh in particular - they were brilliant. They helped arrange two viewings in the same week and, as the property was empty, gave us access on several occasions so we could plan building work and get quotes, which made a huge difference.

They also struck the perfect balance when things became tricky with the solicitors and the seller - supportive, proactive, and reassuring without ever being pushy.

We couldn’t have asked for better support for our first purchase and would happily recommend them to anyone.

Great experience from the start

Great experience from the start. If I ever had a query I got a more or less instant response. Nothing too much trouble. Really helpful staff throughout the buying process especially Jake, Nina and Josh. They were better than my estate agents I used to sell my property with. Definitely recommend.

Nice people to deal with.

We chose Townend because they gave us a better valuation but still at a realistic level to get the house sold.
After handing over the keys 🗝️ we got a box of biscuits to keep us going on the journey to the coast.
A big thank you to all the team at Townend.
It took us a good few months but it all came good in the end

Excellent service and communication

I had a very positive experience with Townsend Estate Agents. From start to finish, the team were professional, responsive, and clear in their communication. They kept me informed at every stage and were always happy to explain things in a way that was easy to understand.

What stood out most was their efficiency and approachability — I never felt like I was chasing for updates, and any questions I had were dealt with promptly. The process felt well-managed and far less stressful than I expected.

I would happily recommend Townsend Estate Agents to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive estate agent.

Great service over several years

Over the past 12 years I have had an excellent experience with Townend, having found them to be professional, efficient and friendly. We originally bought properties from them for rental, which they then managed for us. Over the years we used their varying degrees of property management, and we were always very happy. Excellent tenants were chosen, maintenance issues were communicated promptly and dealt with efficiently, at a reasonable cost. When I decided to sell the properties with the tenants in situ, Jake and Josh were incredibly helpful. The sales were completed easily, the suggested conveyancers were excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Townend Estate Agents.

Stress free house Sale

Our family instructed Townend to sell our family home of 25 years.
The process was very smooth, we were well informed throughout and had excellent communication from all the staff. I would definitely use them again for future sales, should they be required.

A big thanks to Josh who was very responsive to my questions and queries and made what could have been a stressful time, a straight forward process.

Fantastic Local Agent

The team at Townend are a great bunch of people. Purchased a house recently and it was a relatively smooth process. Josh and Jake are both brilliant and I would not hesitate in recommending their services for both selling and purchasing. A massive thank you from me to them.

First property purchase

I bought my first property through Townend Estate Agents with the help of Jake and Josh. Jake has been consistently helpful, always happy to assist with any queries throughout the entire process. He has gone out of his way to put me at ease and patiently listened to my rants about the slow progress from my solicitors. I would highly recommend this agency and their team to anyone looking to buy, sell, rent, or let a property.

Top notch, years of experience shine through.

Martin himself viewed this property we had previously rented out. His advice to sell at auction was invaluable, his experience was such that we felt we were in good hands. As he said the property sold at the price he said it would and everything went as smoothly as we could have wished for. A special thanks to the auction team as there were a number of names on the joint ownership deeds that they needed the patience of a house full of saints while we gathered the necessary inand signatures. Thoroughly recommended. Well done all.

Townend for me

I used Townend to sell a house for me through auction. Very professional and the selling price was where I wanted to be. No fees as they are paid by the buyer. The whole thing took 30 days to complete so extremely fast. I would not hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend.

House sale

They sold my house really quickly and thought we're professional but really helpful and friendly. Always rang back when they said they would and always willing to help and advise. Thank you every one at the idle branch. You were all great.
