    • Seller Testimonial

      We really appreciate everything you've done
      'Thank you to everyone that helped with the sale and purchase of our homes. We really appreciate everything you've done.' Mr & Mrs Hartman, St Johns Road, Clacton on Sea (June 2016)
    • Seller Testimonial

      I will recommend you to all people.
      We would like to express our appreciation for the way you and your colleagues handled the sale of our bungalow, we have been very impressed with the way you have constantly chased solicitors and kept us fully informed with every step of the sale. Thank you very much, with all the youngsters in most Estate Agents now (I think that I have sold more properties than them), it is refreshing to find a firm that really understands the business. I will recommend you to all people.' Mr & Mrs Dennis, Victoria Road, Clacton on Sea (November 2015)
    • Seller Testimonial

      it's been a pleasure doing business with you'
      'Now that most of the moving in distractions are out of the way, it is time to thank everyone on the B & T Team for the super service we received concerning our sale and purchase. We are particularly grateful to Paul, who patience and persistence we appreciated, especially during the occasional outbreak of hic-cups elsewhere in the chain! As the saying goes it's been a pleasure doing business with you' Mrs Goodwin, York Mansions, Holland on Sea (May 2015)
    • Seller Testimonial

      service your colleagues provided is second to none
      'I just wanted to say thank you for all the help with the sale of my mother's house in Bluehouse Avenue. You kept me informed on the progress of the sale almost weekly, which was very positive. A special mention to Paul as he seemed to be the one person that sticks in my mind for his updates and informed knowledge although everyone else was very helpful and polite. I have bought and sold properties over some 45 years and I must say that that professional service your colleagues have provided is second to none. It is the one time that I have felt that you gave value for money and your dedication and hard work was well worth it. It wasn't easy in the beginning as my mother's house needed updating and I think this put people off which meant there was probably more people viewing meaning extra work for you as you need to escort them. Would you kindly pass this on to your colleagues to show my appreciation. ' Mrs Shirley Flack, Clacton on Sea (January 2015)
    • Seller Testimonial

       Thank you are two small words but say so much
      'We are so grateful for all you did on our initial meeting and then during the sale and the visits you made to the property while it was empty. Thank you are two small words but say so much' Miss S Holmes, Windermere Road, Holland on Sea (January 2015)
    • Seller Testimonial

       a   professional service at a competitive rate
      Thank you to everyone for all your help in selling my property. I know im not the most patient person, but yet you continually managed to reassure me. I was always kept up to date on feedback from viewers (even while on holiday in Spain) You provide a very professional service at a competitive rate and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others. Mr & Mrs Curtis (November 2017)
    • Seller Testimonial

      honesty and integrity
      I have had dealings with B & T for my own properties in the past and had no hesitation in asking them to deal with my late fathers property. I have nothing but praise for them, especially Andrew, Steve and Paul. They treat their clients with honesty and integrity which goes a very long way, having the peace of mind that I am dealing with a family business that would do their very best to sell the property. Mrs L Hawtree (November 2017)
    • Seller Testimonial

      We were kept informed every step of the way
      We sold and purchased properties with Blake & Thickbroom. From the moment we met Paul at the show house on Gainsford Gardens, everything went very smoothly. We were kept informed every step of the way and any queries were always answered straight away and nothing was too much trouble. We would thoroughly recommend Blake & Thickbroom.

      I felt I was in good hands
      The moment I invited Blake & Thickbroom into my flat for a valuation I felt comfortable and safe. I felt I was in good hands and that my property would be sold in a professional manner. Due to personal circumstances Blake & Thickbroom were requested to hold a key, arrange and accompany prospective buyers. This is exactly what happened without any complications and I was always kept updated in a polite and informative manner. All my questions were answered satisfactorily and I felt that I had no worries with the selling of my property. I have no hesitation or reservations in recommending Blake & Thickbroom as a first class Agent. Mrs C E Wright (February 2018)

      to have had the property in competent hands
      To: Steve Thickbroom & staff.Many thanks for your work in achieving the sale of 37HP. It has been reassuring with us being in Australia & New Zealand to have had the property in competent hands.Back in October we opted for Blake & Thickbroom over the other two quotes we had. We were impressed by your traditional, local, family set up with a link to a solicitor & relevant other people in town. The fact you remembered our father, Anthony Lee, was another connection for us, as well as recalling Vic Brown whom he knew well.We would not hesitate to recommend your business to others in the future.Thank you again.With best wishes,David Lee & Tim Lee (June 2023)

      I can't thank Steve and his staff enough
      We had a chain which grew to 7 people! It took five agonising and frustrating months to complete. If it wasn't for Steve Thickbroom taking over the chain and constantly ringing solicitors, estate agents and clients on a daily basis and reporting the progress to all in the chain involved, this chain would never have completed. You never give up! What a lovely, patient, hard working and professional man Steven Thickbroom is. Thanks to Steve we now have our dream home by the sea. I can't thank Steve and his staff enough.
