    • Seller Testimonial

      Thank you all at Church Robinson. 5*
      After moving house many times in the past Church Robinson are the best estate agents I have used. I would recommend Courtney who was a professional and very friendly asset to the team. She made the whole process go along very smoothly and painlessly. Following the initial phone call she promptly arranged a suitable time with myself to supply a valuation, took some very appealing photographs of the house and brought it to market very quickly with a great valuation which she helped us to achieve! Cath was great with communication keeping me updated with news on the viewings at every stage. With such a great team of people, I will definitely be using them again. Thank you all at Church Robinson. 5*

      Church Robinson have been excellent throughout
      Church Robinson have been excellent throughout our sale. Their communication is always friendly, and helpful. We were particularly impressed with the "pull out all the stops" attitude they had when our buyers pulled out just before exchange. The very next day we had another 7 viewings, and a new offer. Particular thanks have to go to Dawn, our Sales Progressor, who managed to keep our fairly lengthy chain moving forward to completion when it looked like it was all going to fall apart!

      We highly recommend this agency,
      We can't thank the Church Robinson team enough, from our first contact with Nat and Courtney's negotiating skill. A very special thanks must go Dawn with her unlimited patience in progressing the sale, ably assisted by Jo. Thanks to their professionalism, the very stressful process of selling a house under the COVID situation passed successfully. We highly recommend this agency, and would use their services again.

      Church Robinson have been absolutely brilliant from the very beginning, until the end of our home-moving journey. They've always been professional, understanding, and also very helpful and supportive. We are very grateful for the effort they put in selling our property - it took a while and they never gave up! Can't recommend them enough!

      very professional and quick at responding
      We used Church Robinson to sell our house and would highly recommend them - very professional and always very quick at responding. Would especially compliment them on the management of our chain, not sure we would have had a successful sale/purchase without their help.

      A wonderful team who all know the area.

      "The staff at Church Robinson are professional, helpful and very supportive. They communicate every step of the way when selling your house and always ensure that your property is viewed by screened prospective buyers who are in a position to offer on your house.

      They went the extra mile to make it happen.

      Running an estate agency to the highest standards

      " I felt the need to write a short note to congratulate Church Robinson on clearly running an estate agency to the highest standards possible and should be a clear benchmark for all in the industry. In the future I would have no hesitation to solely contact Church Robinson."

      A 5-star review - 30/10/2013

    • Seller Testimonial

      Very happy with their service and most grateful.

      "I put my old property in Didcot on the market with Church Robinson having visited all the other agents in town. They came across as very professional. I was not expecting to sell quickly due to the economy and time of year (October time, dark, wet) even though I was selling a nice little, well presented and rare maisonette. Unexpectedly, I found this beautiful little house that I wanted more than anything and it all seemed so impossible that the sale and move could happen. Potentially heart breaking. Very tense times. Church Robinson worked very hard showing people around the maisonette. The property sold quickly and I was able to move into my lovely new home.

      I am Very happy with their service and most grateful. I was a difficult customer to deal with (I did not want to lose the house) but the office was patient and helpful in dealing with updates and my question"

    • Seller Testimonial

      A great service!

      " Church Robinson have been brilliant from the moment I picked up the phone for a quote, right through to managing the property. I knew very little about letting, and Oliver talked me through the whole process, and was always available for any questions, and ready with good advice. A great service!"

      and being COVID-19 safe during the pandemic. 

      Buying my first home was seamless with Church Robinson. Raffaele, Courtney, Dawn, Gary and Cath were so friendly, helpful and professional throughout the whole process from viewing, making the offer through to completion and picking up keys. They were very respectful of other people's homes when we were viewing houses too by taking off shoes and being COVID-19 safe during the pandemic. Thank you so much!

      I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Church Robinson
      I've just completed a purchase through Church Robinson and have been extremely impressed with the service and responsiveness. Dawn needs a special mention for keeping on top of solicitors who seem to do their best to slow the process down. I could do with her twice weekly reminders to keep my own affairs moving! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Church Robinson in future.

      Probably the best estate agent I have used, and I have used a few.Everyone I have spoken to has been professional and friendly and extremely helpful.My recent purchase has not been easy because of the chain and different needs from people. Not been easy is an understatement, and if it had not been for Dawn Pannell, I would have given up.Dawn has been an absolute star and amazingly professional, informative and a really nice person to talk to when feeling stressed.This really is a company with people who really care and go the extra mile to see things through.My huge thanks to you all, especially Dawn.

      best in terms of communication and availability
      It was a pleasure having Pierre show us around, he provided a detailed tour of the property without being pushy, and kept it a note of what we were looking for in order to contact us later in case other suitable properties were to become available. Amongst all the viewings I've done in Didcot, Church-Robinson has consistently been one of the best in terms of communication and availability of appointments.

      friendly, professional, responsive and diligent 
      I didn't purchase or sell a property from Church Robinson, my review is from a potential buyer's perspective. I have viewed a lot of properties in the area and dealt with lots of different agents and I have to say Church Robinson were the best in the area. 

      From the moment I enquired about a property, to the viewing and respective followups, they have been the most friendly, professional, responsive and diligent agents. I ended up finding my dream home elsewhere, but if and when the time comes for me to sell my house, I know it will be in good hands with them. A special thank you to Jo, Nat and Gary for being amazing when dealing with us

      Much better than most of the other estate agents
      Bought a property through church robinson. They were very good, I'd highly recommend. Much better than most of the other estate agents I spoke to when looking around houses and then continued to surpass my expectations when going though the purchase process. Lucky the house we wanted was advertised through them.

      Church Robinson far surpasses the usual standard

      I have dealt with many estate agents and the service from Church Robinson far surpasses the usual standard. We were promised good service from start to finish so we had high expectations, which were exceeded. It is rare these days to find an estate agent that lives up to that title, with staff dedicated to following the sale through to the completion, liaising with both parties and their solicitors to facilitate a smooth and speedy completion. Thank you to all at CR, am recommending you enthusiastically to everyone I know!

      "I was letting my house for the first time and Oliver was exactly what I needed. He was friendly, proactive, organised, prompt and understood that I knew nothing and needed guiding through the process. He was considerate of my requirements and pre-empted my needs by emailing various useful documents straight after my initial phone call. He was incredibly can-do, nothing was too much trouble. He secured an offer from quality tenants in less than a week & they moved in a week later. Can't ask for better than that .."
