    What do our Customers have to say?
    • Introduction


    Testimonials from Sellers

    • Seller Testimonial

      We felt like valued customers
      From the first valuation visit to completion we were very pleased with all aspects of the service delivered by the team at Thomas Merrifield Didcot. We felt like valued customers and were regularly kept informed of the progress of our sale. Special thanks to James for being so proactive during the whole process, from getting our property on the market in just a few days, to finding a suitable buyer within a few weeks and for being accurate with the valuation. Matt was especially good at relaying information to and from the chain without delay so queries were resolved quickly. We would not hesitate to use their services again and would like to thank everyone who contributed to our pleasant and successful experience!
    • Seller Testimonial

      We knew we were in safe hands
      From the moment James came around to value our house, we knew we were in safe hands. He has the most relaxed yet reassuring manner and he quickly put us at ease. Before it even got to market, James had already sold our place as he had so many clients on his books. Unfortunately, the house we wanted to buy was stuck in a large chain but James more than earned his money but making sure we were informed about the state of play of all parties in this chain; he must have spend hours per week chasing things up for us, always going that extra mile. Ultimately the chain fell apart but James still help to retain our buyers and within 6 weeks of the collapse we had found and bought a different, better place where we are happily living now. There were some very dark days during the chain saga and we did think about pulling out but James kept us smiling. Without James, our current move would not have happened and therefore I cannot thank him enough for his diligence and reassurance. I thoroughly recommend James, and Thomas Merrifield in general, to sell your house. You will not get a better, harder working agent!
    • Seller Testimonial

      we were kept up to date
      I would thoroughly recommend Thomas Merrifield estate agents. They provided us with a personal yet professional service throughout our sale and purchase, and made what can be a very daunting experience as stress free as possible. We were keen to sell our property quickly in order to secure another, both James and Nick ensured that it was on the market the next day, we were kept up to date regarding viewings and felt confident that they were working hard on our behalf. Our property sold within a few days and the sale went through smoothly as a result of James successfully managing the chain. We would definitely use Thomas Merrifield again.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Why would you use anyone else?
      I have always recommended Thomas Merrifield since I have been on the housing ladder. I have rented my property through Merrifields prior to the sale. My recent experience with them has been excellent , I was kept up to date on an almost daily basis with the house sale. James Merrifield has been fantastic throughout , contacting other agents and solicitors and going the extra mile. Why would you use anyone else? Rentals and Sales teams are very professional, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant and efficient.

      The process was very smooth
      James placed our house on the market and within 3 days had secured a number of offers which matched the valuation of the property. He was extremely professional when helping us to accept an offer. The process was very smooth and I would highly recommend anyone to use Thomas Merrifield to sell their property
    • Seller Testimonial

      I feel we had value for money
      Thomas Merrifield are the kind of estate agents that are a pleasure to deal with, which is very rare. I recommend dealing with James and Penny, who we used for our sale, they were professional, efficient and friendly at all times. We had other estate agents visit our house for valuations before proceeding with Thomas Merrifield but they either overinflated the valuation figure or seemed generally disorganised. Thomas Merrifield were not the cheapest estate agent we could have chosen but I feel we had value for money with the service they provided.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Excellent service, care and attention
