Evans Lee, Sheffield

I sold three properties through Evans Lee in a nine-month period. The first property sold in 4 days and the others within 2 weeks. I have nothing but praise to heap upon Simon and Amy whom I appointed to sell these properties after finding myself impressed by their approach when they showed me round a property in Fulwood early in 2013. They set themselves apart from the crowd by choosing not to apply the tedious standard estate agent phrases designed to place pressure on the viewer and extract an offer. Throughout the processes of selling the 3 properties Simon was available whenever required and dealt with all aspects of the sales, which made for a streamlined and stress-free experience. I was also impressed by his willingness to conduct viewings on my behalf when I was unavailable, and to do such viewings at a time that suited the viewer. Having seen him provide a viewing previously I knew I could trust him to present the properties in the best possible light, which indeed he did; sales were secured on the Greystones and Dore properties immediately following viewings he conducted. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending the services of Evans Lee and would unquestioningly use them again. Jonathan Houdmont

I am very happy that we chose Simon to sell our large house in Broomhill. He is fun but professional to deal with and has the energy and 24/7 commitment that I admire. He and Amy actively sold the house unlike any other agent I have used who have all been passive. He knew people who were searching for properties to buy like ours and approached them and he tapped into his wide network; we discussed the tactics to be used with everyone who came to view and he led all the first viewings whilst we kept out of the way. His admin is quick and efficient, he always answers the phone and he positioned the deal and secured it very well. We received very good customer service and he made us feel we were the only clients he was representing. In a nut shell we chose him because he has the business acumen, personality and drive to be respected by the type of professional person who was likely to buy our house - and he delivered. I am glad we did not chose the well known agency who sells large houses in SE Sheffield, like we did 10 years ago, because I enjoyed our experience and think we achieved a much better deal than we would otherwise have done. Mike Baldwin

Great professional service. They took on our property after 2 failed sales with another agent and managed the process from beginning to end delivering the result we were after! Zak Harding

Evans Lee found a buyer for our house in less than a week. It went on the market on the Friday and we accepted an offer on the Tuesday.It sold for more than the asking price and more than 10% above ELR's upper estimate of the value. Evans Lee's fees were also considerably less. We were kept informed all the way through the sale process. Evans Lee provided excellent service. DT

I asked these guys to sell my house as quickly as possible and for as much money as possible and that's exactly what they did. Simon knows what he's talking about and his advice is excellent. Nick Street

My siblings and I had to sell my mother's house. It was a horrible time, but Simon and his team were hugely understanding and compassionate. They were efficient, thorough and always friendly: nothing was ever a problem...Evans Lee protected us from a lot of the legal work that went on behind the scenes near completion. What's more, we sold the house for over the asking price after having three offers. Simon always steered us in a sensible direction on this and listened to us when we wanted to hang on a bit longer! I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Evans Lee if you are looking for a professional team with personality and consideration. They know the market and they understand the individual needs of sellers. Karen Horsefield

Thanks to Simon for helping me to buy my first property! He was always helpful, as were others in the office. He helped us to feel confident throughout. Thanks to them for helping it run smoothly and efficiently without any bother! Rosalyn Nelson

Simon Lee and his team at Evans Lee offer a boutique tailored service unlike any other estate agents I know. You will benefit from Simon's years of successful experience in the industry. Sales often get complicated and mine did, but Simon's professionalism and expertise meant that I never had to worry as he knew exactly what to do and I owe him a lot. I recommend him to anyone who wants to be completely taken care of via a top class service. Nothing is too much trouble for these guys - they are the best. Rachel Keeton

We went to Evans Lee having been with another estate agent for 5 months & our property wasn't going anywhere. We had to keep chasing them all the time for information. Went to Evans Lee & the property was sold within 3 days. They got us a very very nice buyer. Evans Lee were a very good company to sell with.Kept us informed all the time, excellent customer service & would highly recommend them to anyone. 5 star service. Lynn Midgley

Simon and the team did everything they said they would... and quickly... we would use them again in a heartbeat! David Cross

I can only describe the service at Evans Lee as incredibly professional. No matter how large or small the problem is, it is dealt with expeditiously and efficiently. I would not hesitate to recommend Evans Lee Amanda Dempsey

I am so impressed with the service I have received from Evans Lee. I could not have hoped for a more professional yet personal approach to the sale of my property. Simon, Amy and the rest of the team really know the business and have the energy and commitment needed in this competitive industry.I would heartily recommend them to anyone! Dan Elwood

Evans Lee sold our house in summer last year. From start to finish, the service from Evans Lee was fantastic. Simon went all out for us during the final weeks of our sale. The team are friendly, approachable, and get the job done! Thanks, Evans Lee! Emma Sutton

I cannot thank Amy and Simon enough for the professional way they handled the sale of my house. Organising the viewings and keeping contact with the buyers while my solicitor appeared to be dragging his feet. Pete Selby

Simon and Amy are absolute stars. Simon handled a property we were selling in Ecclesall as we were moving out of the area.The house was fabulous even though i say it myself. Hence it commanded a very high price tag. Simon arranged for himself to conduct the viewings on the Friday and the house was sold the following day far in excess of the asking price!The standard of service and professionalism was superb. He has since sold my daughters house within days of it going on the market. Again achieving a great price. I cannot recommend Evans Lee highly enough. John Harrison

Fantastic, friendly and professional service. Only had my property on the market for 1 day before selling it! Jonathan Edgeley

Absolutely fantastic and reliable service from Evans Lee, fulfilled all promises which lead to an efficient sale of our property. We do not intend to move in the near future, but we would definitely use Evans Lee again if we did, on that basis we would highly recommend them to our friends, colleagues etc. Professional and efficient in a friendly and personal manner! Rob Monaghan

I found every member of the Evans Lee team committed, helpful and attentive at all times. Our sale was not straightforward to say the least but Simon and Amy did a fantastic job of keeping the sale on track. They are genuine professionals in their field and I would recommend them to anyone. Ben Hawley

Great estate agent - Simon and the team sold our house in 3 days! Professional, friendly and helpful service - helped the whole process run smoothly. Fully recommended! David Newman

From day one Simon, Amy, Diane and the rest of the team have been great. I couldn't have asked for a better service from them. They were so communicative and when we asked them to find out what was happening with the house above us in the chain they were on the phone straight away to the other solicitors/estate agents and we got an answer back straight away. They were so conscious of giving us a great service and that is what they did they made the house move so easy for us. I would hand on heart recommend Evans Lee to anyone. If you are looking for an excellent estate agent these are the people to go for! The Pillar Family Life

We have recently sold our property with Evans Lee estate agents and the service was first class from start to finish. The photographs were of the highest quality, the interaction between ourselves and the agent was superb and the whole process was professional and very much stress free. We would have no hesitation in recommending Evans Lee to any prospective customers and would certainly use them again. Suzanne Murphy

Simon and his team provided us with first-rate service during our recent Sheffield house purchase. In an industry rarely short of exaggerated claims, Simon stood out for the honest and straightforward way in which he managed the entire process, from initial offer through to completion. He was attentive to detail, dealt quickly with any queries, and went over and above the call of duty in ensuring the move went according to plan. I've bought and sold various properties over the past 15 years, and this was far and away the smoothest and most hassle-free of the lot, thanks to Simon and the team at Evans Lee. James Wilsdon

Great service and a great team. We have used Evans Lee to both sell and rent out our properties for us and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Dom White

I was struggling to sell my property in Sheffield, but a friend recommended Evans Lee and within a month I had a buyer! Great service and professional to the end. Jamie Kenyon

A big pat on the back for all the team!! A thorough professional but friendly service from start to finish from initial valuation to accepting an offer all within 7 days, and above the asking price! Mark Pemberton

I work alongside Evans Lee as a supplier and therefore you would assume that any recommendation would be biased, this is not the case ... I have worked alongside Simon for 15 years... his level of customer service and the ability to network purchasers with buyers is second to none. I would genuinely recommend their service. If you want personal service with a professional can-do attitude approach then look no further. Jonathan Bramwell

Hugely impressed with Simon and the team. They provided a top notch professional service from start to finish. Simon was spot on with the valuation and ensured that the whole sales process ran smoothly and without a hitch. Evans Lee clearly has a good reputation as we had a number of people coming to look round. I would thoroughly recommend Evans Lee! Thanks Simon! Adam Dawson

It was the communication and positive support that made the difference. Simon was quick, responsive, no-nonsense and very helpful - not just in the sales process up front but right to the end. He just got the job done and couldn't do enough for us during a busy time for our family. One meeting, a few documents and the house sale was agreed in a week for the price we wanted. Simon also helped us arrange solicitors, removals and IFA assistance - all with independent references so we were comfortable with those suggestions. You deal with the owners of the business with Evans Lee and not an impersonal 'computer says no' empire as with the others. Would recommend to anyone in Sheffield/surrounding areas without hesitation. Edward Fanshawe

Simon at Evans Lee was very helpful, always kept us in the loop of things and always responded efficiently to any queries we had. Everything was always done in a professional manner and made our experience as first time buyers a little less stressful Would definitely recommend! Chelsea Hale

Simon and the entire team at Evans Lee were absolutely brilliant during our move, we can't thank them enough. They were always pleasant, friendly and very proactive in ensuring everything went smoothly; nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and they always replied to queries straight away. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using them again if/when we ever move. Anna Watts

Simon/Amy handled my daughter's first house purchase in a very personal and professional way. They both went the extra distance to make sure that the purchase was right for her social and professional needs. I recommend Evans Lee to anyone purchasing a property in the Sheffield area - their personal touch makes all the difference to the whole house purchasing experience. William Parsons

An extremely friendly and efficient service, where nothing was too much, I would recommend Evans Lee to anyone wanting to buy, sell or let. E A Walker

So helpful and efficient, I was in my lovely house very quickly, thank you! Tracey Reeve

This is an excellent friendly local estate agent. Simon knows his territory inside out and was extremely patient as a long chain held us up for many months before I finally moved. Robin Jeeps

I bought and sold with Evans Lee. I sold my house within a week and Evans Lee held on to a property I had already viewed until my sale went through. Simon kept me in touch with both my sellers and buyers throughout and helped me with the little quirks and problems that arose along the way. No problems at all - and now I am in my lovely cottage. Couldn't recommend them enough. MsAlfie10

Having sold our flat and bought a house through Evans Lee we dealt with them a great deal. Through both sales we found the family-run company to be helpful, professional and always at hand to answer our queries and chase things up. We will certainly be recommending them to friends and family. Thank you to the whole team! Shelley Kirk

Evans Lee sold my property and I bought a property from them. They offer a unique and personal service that is very different to experiences I have had in the past. The whole team are friendly and efficient, always there to answer your calls and questions no matter what day or time it is. I would recommend them to everyone. Jane Shaw

My experience with Evans Lee has been extremely positive - clear and consistent communication throughout, and the EL team are extremely knowledgeable about the specifics of the area and the property for sale here. I've been able to recommend EL to two sets of friends - one has just secured her dream home through them, the others are still looking but know that they'll get great information and support from the EL team when they find the place that's right for them. It's the no-nonsense approach, with the personal touch, that makes EL a great business to work with. Helen Abbott

Fantastic service provided by these guys, we found them to be very accommodating and professional, they made the whole experience of getting a new property hassle and stress-free. I highly recommend this company. Liam R

Evans Lee are always informed, positive, professional, friendly and helpful, everything you would want from a modern Estate Agent. Alistair Campbell

Simon is a breath of fresh air. No nonsense, to the point and straightforward in my dealings with him, I found him a refreshing change to some of those I have dealt with in previous house purchases and sales. On a visit to Sheffield for a viewing, he even went to the trouble of dropping me off at the station to catch my train back to London. A decent gesture, reflecting the personal touch of this family-owned and run estate agency. The process of buying a house with Evans Lee was clear and to the point - no nonsense about dealing with their preferred financial advisors or lies about having to be pre-approved before you can make an offer, 'to check your financial viability', as you may find with some of the larger agents in Sheffield.I would thoroughly recommend Evans Lee - when I come to sell my house, I will be asking Simon to handle the sale. Tom McAnea

Since buying a house through Evans Lee, Simon has been very helpful with after sales queries, he's relaxed and personable which really helps in the stressful house buying process. Charlie Denning

Terrific service from Evans Lee in facilitating our first house purchase in Sheffield. Communications always timely and clear, making the whole transition completely pain free, swift, and very reassuring throughout the process. Highly recommended in every regard by this happy new home-owner. Robert Cocozza

Simon and the team are simply the best - great attitude, fresh approach, fantastic customer service and invaluable advice. The personal service alone puts them in a very special league of their own in the world of lettings and property services. 10/10. Simon Broadhead

Simon and Amy consistently stand out from the rest for providing an excellent sales and lettings service and have handled our residential property lettings for the past 4 years. In today's world of something for nothing, they offer the complete opposite - a warm, friendly and efficient approach to estate agency. Most importantly is the personal service they provide, they understand you and your best interests whilst offering sound advice. With over 30 years experience between them, they have created their own portfolio of knowledge of the Sheffield property scene. It really is an #evansleenobrainer James Wilkinson

Over the last couple of years, we have used Evans Lee to sell a house and to rent an apartment. All the team are great to deal with - straightforward and no-nonsense. I would definitely recommend them. Olivia Cooke

Evans Lee has delivered a first class service to me for over 3 years. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They provide a quality, friendly & quick service securing for me a new long term tenant within a few days! Marvin Henshaw

This is the first review I have ever written, I felt the need to write it due to the first class service I have been given by Simon and Amy at Evans Lee. A rental property I have became vacant and within 24 hours of the property being advertised Amy had shown a prospective tenant around, then seamlessly took an application from her. She then kept me updated via phone calls of the progress of the application and the tenant is now due to move in, less than 3 weeks since the first viewing. I would strongly recommend using Evans Lee and will not hesitate to use them myself again in the future. 5 Stars well deserved, I owe Amy and Simon both a drink! Ross Kerfoot

We have used Evans Lee over the last two years. They have been professional, friendly and provided an excellent service. Thanks to Simon and Amy. Michael Critchley

Tremendous efficient service from the very driven Evans Lee team meant that the property was let within hours of releasing it into the market! The after-service was very re-assuringly first class. Communication was efficient and initiated without having to chase, understandably a great source of stressful pressure when letting out or selling. I would definitely recommend their services. F Let

We have nothing but great things to say about Evans Lee both on a professional and personal basis. Our dealings with them as an agent have been professional, efficient and successful and day to day contact with all the staff in the office has been a pleasure. Down to earth, honest service from genuine people who take pride in their business. Tina Peacock

Helpful, quick and efficient service. Sorted out a new tenant for me in a matter of hours from the initial phone call. Paperwork all in place a few days later. Can't fault them. Gavin Ellis

Having used Evans Lee to sell our house, We had no hesitation in using their services to find suitable tenants for our rental property. As always they were on the ball and found a suitable tenant virtually straight away. All checks were carried out and everything ran smoothly and efficiently. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy, sell or rent properties. Maria Clarke

Since Evans Lee opened on Oakbrook Rd I have used them for all of my property company's residential lettings in the locality, and will continue to do so. They are professional, efficient and very friendly, I would have no hesitation in recommending them. Fred Gould

Simon Lee and his team provide a very personal, trustworthy service with many years experience of the local property market. I have purchased and let a number of properties through them and would highly recommend them. Christine Buxton

Love the guys and girls at Evans Lee, a true family business where they take responsibility for all aspects of their work. Every member of the team is experienced and fun. I have recommended their services to about 7 of my friends and everyone has been very grateful. Chris Downham

Excellent Service! Within 1 week of looking to rent out our house, we had a tenant in! Friendly, professional and exactly what we were looking for... A quick and stress-free sale! Would highly recommend Evans Lee. lepfitness n.s.

The team at Evans Lee did an excellent job in renting my property out in Nethergreen, Sheffield. Unlike some other agents, I found them very approachable, always available and nothing whatsoever being a problem. Would definitely recommend and will use them again. Many thanks. Matthew Squire

Efficient and professional. They work super fast. Very friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Chris Lima

Hard working estate agents who are available outside normal working hours to get you into the property you want as soon as possible. Low agent fees and friendly staff add the human touch to renting a property. I'd recommend them. Victoria Knott

Incredibly professional and approachable. On many occasions, they went above and beyond for us. Responded to communication incredibly swiftly. Without them our start in Sheffield would have been very difficult and for this I cannot recommend them enough. Chris Hastings

I've had some awful experiences with letting agents in the past but can honestly say that this place is completely different! Communication was quick and thorough, they were polite and flexible and unlike most letting agents they haven't forgotten the importance of customer service. I felt that Amy cared about my move and me as a tenant, not just now but moving forward too. She gave lots of advice and helped with negotiations between the landlord and myself - with positive results. Next time I move (hopefully not for a long time!) I will use Evans Lee if I can. Jennie S
