We had no concerns and no complaints about the service Knight West provided, the whole team were fantastic. They were always positive but never pushy, their support was extremely helpful to our family. To summarise - an excellent agency! Compared to other agencies they go above and beyond to be helpful and keep you informed through the whole process. We were very impressed by the whole team and are recommending them to everyone we know'

    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs Tyler-Clark
      After dealing with many Estate Agents over the past couple of years I think I have finally found one that breaks the mould. Knight West have worked tirelessly to ensure that the deal was done and to deliver a win/win outcome for all parties. We experienced many obstacles buying our current property and selling our Mother-in-Laws home. Knight West were the keystone in ensuring the sales went through and even applied pressure to other agents and solicitors to ensure the deal stayed on the table. When we were at rock bottom and it looked like the sales were going to collapse, Knight West were pivotal in picking all parties up and re-energising the situation. They offered advice and guidance throughout and always called back when they stated they would, they delivered on their promises. This reference may sound like a general recommendation however what makes this one different is that they were not our agents, they were in fact the agents of our Vendors. They delivered above and beyond for all parties and I can't recommend them highly enough, if we ever decide to move they will be our first choice and the name that I would recommend to anyone looking for an honest, dedicated Estate Agent. Our thanks to David and his fantastic team (every single one of them).

      Mr Clark & Miss Lamb
      Knight West estate agents personal approach in dealing with the sale of our flat was outstanding. From our initial contact with them, the professional photos being taken, advertisement appearing online and accepting an offer was completed within a week, all whilst we were on holiday. All of the viewings were dealt with directly by them, whilst their communication throughout was excellent and we felt comfortable that our best interests in the sale of the property were always in safe hands. We shall be encouraging all of our family and friends to use their services in the future. Many thanks to all the team at Knight West.

      Mrs Reddick
      The team at Knight West are all extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable. Finally there is an estate agent out there who is customer service focussed and listens to individual customers needs. I will definitely be recommending Knight West and would not hesitate to use them in the future.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr Belcher
      The first thing that struck us about Knight West was their energetic and enthusiastic attitude regarding selling our property, after it had been on the market with another well known estate agent for quite a few months with no results. We felt from the beginning that Knight Wests went out and found buyers for us and didn't just wait for people to ring in to the office after seeing the Rightmove advert, a very refreshing approach! We immediately started to get three times more viewings than with the first agency and we sold a couple of weeks later. Knight Wests accompanied each prospective buyer at viewings and ensured that all the features of the property were highlighted, which was very different from the first agency who just walked people around, with us trying to chip in with a few positive remarks to prompt some interest! We also found that each time we phoned Knights, no matter who we spoke to, they could either answer our question or would call back promptly with an update. At all times they have been helpful, positive and professional and we would sincerely recommend them to anyone. Thank you Knight West team for all your help and assistance and we personally wish you every success for the future.

      Mr & Mrs Mills
      We couldn't recommend Knight West enough. They are professional, friendly, knowledgable and efficient. It was such a pleasure to work with them and they sold our house within a few days of going on the market. From the moment they came to view our house, to being perfectionists with the pictures used to market the house, to advising us on our house purchase, to following through to exchange and completion, Knight West were there every step of the way. We only wish that the house we purchased had been sold through Knight West as well. First class estate agents, thanks again to the team at Knight West!
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs Gilson
      "Having previously had my home on the market with two other estate agents in Colchester and not been successful in selling my home, I decided to go with Knight West and wow what a different experience, my house was sold within a very short time of going on the market with them" " I found the whole service from the valuation to the completion a seamless and professional experience. I have subsequently recommended other friends to Knight West who have had the same excellent experience" " Knight West have brought selling houses in to the 21st Century and in my view have set the platinum standard for property consultants in Colchester."
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr Meigh-Andrews
      "It has been a pleasure working with Knight West. I found all members of the team helpful, well informed about the property market and efficient. Their knowledge of the housing market made the entire process of selling my property easy and stress free. Thanks to their their guidance and expertise I was able to achieve the full asking price for my home. I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending them!"
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs License
      "Recalling previous experiences, the thought of selling our property and selecting one of the myriad of estate agents on offer in Colchester filled both my wife and I with absolute dread. That is, until we were introduced to Knight West estate agents. From the offset they put us at absolute ease and it wasn't long before we were both convinced that they were the perfect choice. We were particularly impressed with each and every one of the team. They displayed a level of integrity, commitment, honesty and individual customer care that is rarely seen in the housing market today. I would not hesitate to recommend Knight West to any individual who is contemplating a house purchase or house move. What a relief to find a local Colchester estate agent who knows the areas so well and has real pride and passion in their work."
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs Benest
      We are so glad we asked Knight West to market our property. Apart from the fact that our house sold within a week at the full asking price - other estate agents had suggested we might have to accept £5-10k less - the team have impressed us with their local knowledge and an excellent personal customer service that continues to support through to contract exchange and completion. We couldn't ask for more.

      Mr & Mrs Mason
      As you know, my husband and I were very happy with the service provided by Knight West. With a fairly long chain, it seemed you were the most informed and communicative re status throughout the process. You also walked the talk - did what you said you were going to - a rarity perhaps, in your industry... Should we ever sell, we would definitely use your services.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs Haines
      Do not be fooled by the national estate agents that promise they will sell your house, we found they did not and the whole experience was worse than terrible. However after we were released from this terrible national estate agent, Knight West took on our property and we can truly say the whole service, photos, description, quickly marketing, dealing with viewings, Knight West secured a buyer from marketing within 2 weeks and went on to ensure the sale went through seamlessly. Thank you to all the team at Knight West.

      I wanted to thank everyone at Knight West for all your help in the quick selling of my property. Really fab photos, quick response and always keeping me updated on the progress. Everyone has been brilliant and will always recommend you. Thank you for card and gift. It was lovely. Keep up the good work.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr Buckmaster
      Knight West provided a professional service from the point of valuation to completion. The team were responsive and efficient throughout the process - especially after a prospective buyer pulled out. During this stressful time the team were reassuring, providing constant updates and in a remarkable turnaround I had agreed to sell again. I can't thank the team enough for their help in the process. Would recommend to anyone looking to sell!

      Sarah Shelton
      t's taken us a few months to write this review but we wanted to thank Knight West for their professionalism and determination in our property sale and purchase. They never gave up (despite a few hiccups) and we were impressed at what a good service they provided, particularly in our house sale (being there for visits etc). Thank you!
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr Ward
      Can't thank Knight West enough, the whole service from start to finish was very professional. I would recommend you to anyone who asks. As a team they all worked very hard to sell my property for me and kept motivated throughout. Sam and Josh were who I dealt with mainly and were very helpful and always kept me up to date.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr Townsend
      We recently sold a property through Knight West and were very pleased with the service, from the initial consultation through to the completion of the sale. A considerable number of viewings were arranged and suitable offers were soon received. Following the acceptance of an offer, Knight West provided regular weekly updates through to the exchange of contracts and completion of the sale. We were particularly impressed with the enthusiasm and courteous nature of the staff special mention to Sammy, and the ease of being able to always speak to someone. We would have no hesitation in appointing Knight West again.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mrs Hobbs
      We have been very impressed with the service provided by Knight West. Everybody that we have had dealings with has been very helpful and thorough. Matt was the initial person we spoke to and he valued our property and took the photos. He was very polite and respectful. Lewis and Josh helped arrange viewings and negotiations and they were both very organised and informative. Then lastly Sammy helped us get through to exchange and completion. She was very honest and up front with what was happening and would keep to her word and keep us updated on the agreed day each week. The day before we actually exchanged she was really trying her hardest to push everything through so we could exchange that day but it didn't quite happen. Sammy was on annual leave the following day but it still didn't stop her from emailing all the solicitors/Estate agents involved first thing in the morning to get things moving even though she was on annual leave and it worked because we finally exchanged that day. This shows how dedicated she is to providing a good service and it went above and beyond our expectations. All in all it was a smooth, practically stress free move from start to finish. Thank you.

      Ms Morgan
      Whoever said house moving was stressful wasn't wrong ! I went through every emotion re the sale of my home and the purchase of another ( purchase not through KnightWest) With every downward spiral , Sammy was always there with positivity even when I couldn't see a positive, which always settled my nerves and gave me hope . I can't thank Sammy enough and the Knight West team for all the support they provided. I've had a positive outcome and I know the work Sammy put in was one of the main reasons for that . Thank you again Sammy , i really appreciated all that you done for me and my son ! Don't stop doing what your doing , I'm sure many like me will be so thankful of your knowledge and I will certainly be recommending Knight West to others.

      Mr & Mrs Stubbings
      We cannot recommend the team at Knight West highly enough. They have managed a long and complicated chain with efficiency, professionalism and great communication. In particular, we would like to thank Toby Lefley for his calm and sensible approach, and keeping us fully informed every step of the way; promptly returning our emails and phone calls. Knight West have certainly made our moving process as stress-free and easy as possible, and we would recommend them to any friends and family. Thank you very much Toby and team!

      Knight west sold our house in the summer this year, they were extremely professional and helpful. Our solicitor unfortunately wasn't great but knight west helped hugely and kept us updated when our solicitor wasn't, which helped a really stressful move become less stressful, they answered all our queries and were nothing but supportive. i would highly recommend and if we were to sell again i would not hesitate to give them a call. Thank you for all your support.

      I must say it was a hard sale for the team as it was during covid so everyone was so far behind but knight west did not give up on pushing the chain through to completion they all worked diligently and kept me in the loop every step of the way! Thank you for all you did amazing work
    • Seller Testimonial

      Mr & Mrs Vile
      Although Knight West were not our estate agent, they were our sellers estate agent, we found all team members to be approachable and they were always happy to help. In fact, we felt that our contacts at KW (Josh and a special mention to Sammy) were the ones who kept driving the chain forward to a point where we were able to exchange and complete. We had a particularly complex and difficult chain, with one part of the chain being told not to disclose certain pieces of information. It was only because of Sammy doing some digging that we were able to find out the full truth of what was happening with our chain, and once everyone was aware, she was key in getting everything moving forward. We would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Sammy - she kept us sane, listened to our moans, probably got a little fed up with this chain and was happy to see the end of it, but was always professional and it never felt that we were contacting her too much! Thank you once again for all your help :)

    • Seller Testimonial

      Mrs McNaught
      I had to sell a house in Colchester as part of dealing with the affairs of a relative following a bereavement. Living over 100 miles away choosing the Estate Agent was important decision. Over one day we had 3 different agents round and Knight West stood out as offering an efficient yet modern approach. We were kept updated right from the start - from viewing bookings, through the offer and right to the final completion. There were various complications on the way but by keeping in contact with both solicitors Knight West kept things ticking over. I always felt their cared... I would certainly recommend them.

From valuation to exchange of contracts, the communication from your company has been outstanding, giving us total confidence that we are in safe hands. Completely professional from start to finish. Other estate agents could learn a lot from you. Thanks again.

      Mr Thomas
      House searching brief went to many Estate Agents, but David and the Knight West team stood out. They understood my brief, kept me informed and gave something that is priceless these days - customer personal service. I always think a good indicator of experiences is if you would recommend your family members to the provider. I would have no hesitation. Thank you to Knight West.

      Really happy with the purchase process from start to finish, always clear what was happening/going to happen and great to have someone chasing stuff up for us on a weekly basis, thank you for everything the team has done.
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Mr Curtis
      The entire team at Knight West were friendly and helpful from the moment I made first contact with them. I had looked around other properties with different estate agents but none were more professional than those at Knight West. The team answered all questions promptly and had clearly done their research on the property they were selling, which was not the same for other companies. Knight West always answer phone calls and emails very quickly and were incredibly reassuring throughout the process. My Sales Progressor, Sammy, went above and beyond throughout the process and I genuinely don't know what I would have done without her. She was always there to calm my nerves in what was a very stressful process and had answers for all of my questions (as a first time buyer, I had a lot!). I found my solicitors very difficult to deal with and without Sammy's support in chasing them, I'd probably still be waiting to exchange now! I will certainly be using Knight West in the future and will be advising all of my friends and family to do the same. Sammy and her colleagues were fantastic from the word go.

      Mr & Mrs Yates
      We recently purchased our home through Knight West and would wholeheartedly recommend them . Our purchase took place during an exceptionally busy period and we completed on the very last day before the stamp duty holiday ended. As such the team where managing a heavy workload. Despite that they managed our purchase brilliantly and actually took control of the entire chain to make sure it happened. The communication was excellent and was clear and honest at all times. Every encounter with the team from making the offer, to financial checks and through to completion was professional and practical. Faye Dines was our Sales Progressor and went above and beyond for us and we really felt we received a personal service. We will certainly use Knight West for our next sale and would recommend to others to do the same.
