Excellent, welcoming and professional service from Dawn

We recently viewed a property and were looked after by Dawn, who was exceptionally welcoming and had great energy. She showed us around with genuine enthusiasm, took the time to understand our requirements, and presented the property in both a professional and friendly manner. We really appreciated her approachable attitude and would highly recommend her.

Couldn't have asked for a better estate agent

From the very beginning, Hannels stood out from the other estate agents I had valuations with. I was able to book my valuation very quickly and Heather was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Shortly after leaving, she had already sent me a really useful and detailed file about my property. The whole experience immediately felt a level above the other valuations I'd had and I completely understand now why Hannels are so popular in Derby.

Then I had Debbie looking after my sale, and I genuinely couldn't have asked for anyone better. Best of the best. She was incredible throughout the entire process. She was always so quick to reply, call me, chase things, deal with issues and keep me updated. Whenever things became stressful, Debbie was there to explain what was happening and calm the situation down rather than leaving me wondering. I never had to chase anyone.

Selling a house can be incredibly stressful and I was also going through a particularly difficult time personally during the sale. Debbie's patience, kindness and professionalism meant a lot to me. Even when there were frustrating issues, she was constantly on top of things and made sure everything kept moving.

I genuinely feel like I got the best possible agent. From Heather making such a brilliant first impression to Debbie getting me all the way through to completion, the service has been exceptional.

Thank you so much, especially Debbie. You've been an absolute star and I couldn't recommend Hannels highly enough. ❤️

We had our property valued a year ago and was fine with that but after substantial property renovations etc we thought we'd consider our options and get a re-evaluation. They under valued us by 10-15k

Reply from Hannells

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with our recent valuation of your property.

Our valuations are based on current local market conditions, recent comparable sales and our experience of what buyers are currently prepared to pay. While we fully appreciate the improvements you’ve made to your home since our previous visit, unfortunately the cost of renovations doesn’t always translate directly into the same increase in market value.

We understand that another agent may have a different opinion, and ultimately the market will determine the price a property achieves. Our responsibility, however, is always to provide an honest and realistic assessment based on the evidence available to us at the time.

We wish you all the very best with your future plans and if there's anything more we can do to help, please feel free to get in touch.

Kind regards,
