Testimonials
SELLER
We chose Mike Ford as our Estate agents when looking to sell our property. The service was truly outstanding, Mike came out to do the valuation on our home and there was no pressure or obligation to move forward. But from the knowledge and experience of Mike and his team we knew they were the right fit for us. The Ladies I spoke to at MF Estate Agents regarding the house sale and purchase of our new home were so polite and kind, made nothing feel like too much trouble. Genuinely a great service and would recommend to all.
SELLER
I would like say a massive thank you to Mike Ford and the girls for all they have done. It has genuinely been the best experience from an estate agents I've had. Having used them several times before, it was the obvious choice to sell my home through them and conveniently buy my next one from them. I'm told that moving home can be one of the most stressful events of your life but they were polite, understanding of my needs and made my whole experience painless and stress free. They were exceedingly quick to respond to my requests even through the Covid period. During the sale process they kept in touch and gave me regular updates, nothing was too much trouble for them. If only other estate agents would be the same!
SELLER
Fantastic estate agents. We were buying from them and they were easy to get hold of, quick to respond, kept us constantly updated, and constantly in the loop. We were selling with another company and they were utterly useless in comparison. When it comes time for us to sell again, we will without fail, use them.
SELLER
Mike ford estate agents are a family run business, who were always on the ball, chasing the buyers and solicitors, to make sure things were carried through, (great to have that feeling someone's on your side, to help you through the buying and selling process). There was always someone to talk to when I gave them a call and they're competitively priced as well. Can't recommend them enough.
SELLER
We have used Mike Ford for 2 property sales and have been very pleased with the professional way they deal with every aspect of the sale. Nothing is too much trouble and they keep you well informed through the whole process. Excellent service throughout
SELLER
I recently sold my house through MF and the service was OUTSTANDING. I had a few agents out to value and Mike was by far the most thorough, professional and efficient. He knows the Melton market inside out and gives sound advice you can have faith in. The sales progression team is also incredibly helpful and efficient. Nothing was too much and they support, guide and coordinate solicitors rather than chase commission. Sandra in particular went above and beyond, with a genuine care for getting the best result. I never had to wait more than 24 hours for a response or chase anything. I recommend MF to anyone selling in the Melton area.
SELLER

I have recently purchased a property that was on the market with Mike Ford Estate Agents, Again perfect service from start to finish the team went the extra mile to chase things up for me, Regular updates received every step of the way. I couldn't be happier with the service received & wold highly recommended.
SELLER
Highly recommend Mike Ford and his team. From the first day I met Mike I was impressed by his professionalism and advice. The sales information for my house was well presented with excellent photos. After each viewing I was given feedback and was updated throughout the whole process by the staff. Once my house was sold they kept me updated with any new properties on the market and knew exactly which area I preferred, I purchased a property being sold by them. I think I spoke to all of the team, Natasha, Sandra, Sarah and Jess who were lovely. ( sorry if I missed anyone).
SELLER
Great firm to work with. I was buying and they me kept informed of new properties on the market. When I found what I wanted they continually updated me throughout and even chased up conveyancer when things weren't moving. If, in future I was selling I'd definitely use Mike Ford as my agent. Great friendly and efficient team.
SELLER
Once again, I'd like to thank Mike Ford and his team for the excellent service we received for a property we sold recently. Several offers in the first few days, and a sale agreed a few days later was just what we were after and the way Mike and the team dealt with it all was first class. Mike Ford Estate Agents are polite, friendly and professional and communicate regularly with developments and updates. The house sale itself was totally stress free and a positive experience, which is why they are the only estate agent I'd recommend.
SELLER
a month ago Sold my first house with Mike and the team but the second time I chose another agent (chasing £££) and started to regret it quickly. After 16 weeks I switched to Mike and he had viewings lined up straight away and we were soon sold. After that the girls were excellent keeping me updated and making sure the solicitors pulled their fingers out. Don't be fooled by over valued properties, go with Mike, he gets the price spot on and the girls do their magic.
SELLER
Thank you to all the team at Mike Ford. You were extremely efficient, informative and supportive always
SELLER
I cannot recommend enough Mike and his team, they were all very friendly, professional and sold my house for the asking price in the first viewing! Having dealt with other estate agents in the past I was very impressed with how they dealt with my sale and kept me up to date.
SELLER
From the moment Mike came around to take photos of our property we knew we had picked the right estate agent to sell and to purchase our new home from. The professional approach to the smallest detail epitomises all that Mike, Natasha, Sandra, Jess, Sarah and Lynn do. No words can explain the thanks we owe to all the staff for keeping our purchase going when we anticipated losing the property we had our hearts set on. Would not hesitate on recommending Mike Ford Estate Agents to anyone who was thinking about selling their property
SELLER
Mike came out to do a valuation for the property and was thorough, personable and went the extra mile to get that to me as soon as he could. I've also viewed a few properties with Mike and every experience has been similar. His successful local business is clearly built on the back of his hard work and strength of character.
SELLER

SELLER
Everyone at Mike Ford Estate Agents were just brilliant. This is the first time I have moved house along with my very young family and was the hardest and most stressful time of our lives. Everyone at Mike Ford were behind us throughout and always available to help and advise us whenever we needed it. Not once did they not answer the phone or respond to an email. Thank you ever so much all of you :-)
SELLER
A big thank you to Mike Ford and his team. Mike was approachable, giving us excellent advice on selling our home. The back up team were exceptional, keeping us in touch at every stage, taking away all the hassle. We were on the market - very quickly with viewers booked in within hours. The result - we sold our home in less than 2 weeks and above the asking price. What more could we have asked for? Thanks everyone!
SELLER
A huge THANK YOU to Mike and all at Mike Ford Estate Agents. The service is outstanding from start to finish. Mike is very professional and personable and his knowledge of the market is extensive meaning that his valuation was realistic and his contacts targeted resulting in a very quick sale. Liaison with all the staff was always pleasant and professional with regular updates giving me total confidence in the service being provided. I cannot rate the experience highly enough and for those looking to sell their property I have no hesitation in recommending Mike Ford Estate Agents. Such a shame I can only give them 5 stars!
SELLER
I wouldn't use anyone else to sell my house. Mike and his team are excellent, they provide a really friendly and efficient service. They are honest when offers come in and realistic in terms of pricing houses. It's an all round first class service from thinking about selling to completion days. I can't recommend Mike Ford highly enough.
SELLER

SELLER
Really impressed with the service of Mike Ford's team.....We've been looking for a new home for a while and finally found our perfect match. That's when the nerves start. We shouldn't have worried! Mike sold our house in a day, got us a brilliant price and an acceptance for our lovely New Home. All the way through the process we were thoroughly informed, always treated with courtesy, politeness and good humour. I would certainly use Mike Ford's again and would thoroughly recommend this wonderful family business.
SELLER
Everyone at Mike Ford's was extremely helpful and attentive throughout our purchase, we couldn't fault and would give 5+ stars if possible. The whole team was so supportive and efficiently arranged everything to make the whole process as smooth as possible. Many thanks to you all.

Mike Ford sold our house in less than a week of going on the market. Sandra is excellent at her job, anything from answering silly questions to chasing up our buyers solicitors to hurry things along she did everything she promised. Thank you for all your help and support. We recommend Mike Ford Estate Agents 100%.
SELLER
This morning my partner Ali and I were shown around a wonderful property by Sarah. Quite honestly, it was a great mornings experience! It was immediately apparent that Sarah had done her homework and she knew so much about the property and the surrounding area and yet, she was open and honest enough to say that she was unclear about certain facts and would get back to us promptly. She did exactly that. This amazingly professional woman really made our visit, she was so incredibly polite and understanding, a great listener and an absolute credit to Mike Ford estate agents! We really hope that those in charge are able to find some time to read this review and personally thank Sarah on our behalf.
SELLER
I can't speak highly enough of the team at Mike Ford. They're friendly, knowledgeable about the area, easy to contact and always generous with their time and advice. They offer the best service around as well as excellent value for money. Thanks again for doing such great work!
SELLER
Great service as usual with Mike and the team, always answer the phone and always get an intelligent answer to my questions. If you live in locally I personally wouldn't consider using anyone else.
BUYER
We chose Mike Ford and his team to sell our property on Thorpe Road based on our previous experiences of using them to sell other properties on our behalf and yet again we received an excellent, professional and dedicated service. I would highly recommend Mike Ford and the team to anybody that is considering selling their property as they continually provide a first class service that they consistently deliver and have done for many years. Thank you to all involved @Mike Ford Estate Agents...

BUYER
Working with Mike Ford's estate agents made buying our first home feel less stressful in times that was stressful. The staff are polite and responsive, great team to be have been handling our purchase.
BUYER
I always recommend the team at Mike Ford Estate Agents because they do their job - sell your house!!! (And don't waste your time!) They know the market, are HONEST, helpful and supportive.
BUYER
It's easy to see why Mike Ford sells a lot of houses. My husband and I began our search for our new home in Melton Mowbray, we contacted a lot of agents in the area to register our interest and what sort of thing we were looking for. Mike Ford were on top of their game, contacting us when suitable things were due to be listed, so we were able to get in for viewings quickly. We never had an issues contacting them, or receiving call backs when we requested them. The whole team were helpful and made you feel like you were important to them. We ended up offering and buying a house that was listed with Mike Ford and they couldn't have made the process easier on us. They kept us informed and up to date with progress right down to the day of the move calling us to let us know the progress of the previous owners moving out and when they were due to drop the keys off and when they had. They'd even gone to the trouble of sending us a lovely card, welcoming us to our new home. I would highly recommend them to anyone and if I was planning on selling a property they'd be the first people I'd contact. A professional, yet personal service that makes you feel like you're important. From a buyers perspective we couldn't have asked for more.
BUYER
Helpful, friendly service - really useful to a house buying novice like myself. Would certainly recommend to anyone who is thinking of selling their property
BUYER
We bought our first house through Mike Ford, and they've been wonderful from enquiring about our house all the way through to the end. To start when we wanted to arrange a viewing of our house we couldn't make the dates that they provided that were available so they kindly spoke to the vendor on our behalf and they arranged that we could go and see the house when it suited us. Since our offer was accepted they have been regular on checking in on the progress of the house and chasing updates and always informing us with any further updates. The ladies at Mike Ford are absolutely brilliant who we have dealt with through our process and they have made things as easy and painless as possible for us as first time buyers. Always happy to answer any further questions we may have had. And any emails were always responded to promptly which is lovely so your not sat around waiting for an answer. If in the future we had to sell our house we would happily go through Mike Ford again or recommend them to friends and family. Thank you so much Mike Ford team!
BUYER
Mike Ford were incredibly helpful to myself and my partner as we purchased our first home. Everyone in the office was always happy to help, and communication was excellent. I was kept updated about every stage, and didn't have to chase them for updates. - would highly recommend them to anyone! They couldn't have been more helpful :-)
BUYER
Absolutely great service. One of the best buying experiences I've had with a Real Estate Company. The team at Mike Ford were pre-emptive, professional and kept me informed at all times on the transaction. I will definitely use this company again!
BUYER
Mike Ford were the estate agent for the property my wife and I just bought. The team were very friendly and professional, and made the whole process that much easier. They also kept in touch with us throughout the process. Outstanding service and no bones to pick. Thank you to the team for everything.
BUYER
Just brought a lovely property through Mike Ford estate agents. Throughout the process they were very responsive and helped push things through despite the uncertainty posed by the Coronavirus. They were very professional and helped us with the transition. Thank you to the team for all your help.
BUYER
Mike Ford's Estate Agents have been a pleasure to work with from the very first viewing. I was a first time buyer and Mike Ford's representatives were happy to answer any questions I had and help me with the process. They were very prompt about answering any questions and would frequently chase up both party's to ensure the transaction was going along at a good pace. Overall I had no complaints about their service and would recommend them to a friend.
BUYER
We chose Mike and the team to sell our property and they didn't disappoint. The service has been great from the start, very professional and efficient. It was our first time selling a property and the team made it a breeze for us. Natasha was excellent in keeping us up to date and chasing the chain to ensure a quick completion. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and I will certainly use them again in the future. Thanks so much!
BUYER
The Mike Ford team are one of a kind. As first time buyers we were clueless. From viewings to completion, the team were by our side helping us through the process of purchasing our first home. They certainly go above and beyond what an estate agent should really do and without any questions but I am so grateful they do! After a very bad experience with our solicitors, the Mike Ford team very quickly became the only people I could rely on to get the details we needed and a timely transaction. Every step they updated me and often with information by solicitor didn't even pass onto me. Anxious with the process for the first time, I spoke to all the ladies in the team often, and each and every time they were polite, offering me advice, letting me know what was next and I very much felt they had all the time in the world for us. Even with an issue after completion I knew I could get sound and thoughtful advice from them and that's exactly what I got. They are a fantastic, thoughtful, professional and proficient team and I simply cannot express enough how brilliant they've been. I have been recommending them and singing their praises to anyone who will listen! Thank you so much to the Mike Ford team!
BUYER
Very happy with my experience with this team - always polite and friendly. Thank you.
BUYER
I cannot praise Mike Ford and the team enough. Thoroughly professional, courteous, approachable and always ready to take a call when we needed advice or an update on progress. An amazing team, providing an amazing service during what usually is a stressful process. Thank you team MF!
BUYER
Excellent service and communication from start to finish. Special thanks to Sandra who helped throughout the sale of our house and purchase of new property. Would definitely recommend Mike Ford and his dedicated team
BUYER
Sandra and the team at Mike Ford were fantastic to work with during our purchase. They were always communicative and ensured that we were kept up to date at every stage of our purchase journey. I would highly recommend Mike Ford and the team.
BUYER
I honestly could not recommend the team at Mike Ford more highly. They were by far the most helpful during our buying process and would always be on hand to answer any questions. It didn't feel like I was ever asking for too much even when I had been emailing daily. When we look into selling our house in years to come, I have no doubt that I will use Mike Ford to sell and hopefully the house were buying will be advertised with them too.
BUYER
Everybody who has been involved with selling my mum's house has been superb. It has been far from straightforward but it has always felt that nothing was too much for the team. They were always cheerful, helpful, careful to explain things fully, incredibly patient, thorough, efficient and so many times seemed to go above and beyond... perhaps most memorably being the removal of the dead pigeon discovered in one of the rooms just before a viewing! Thank you one and all.
BUYER
I recently purchased my first home through Mike Ford Estate Agents and I have been really impressed with their kindness and professionalism. I never had a problem getting in touch with the team at Mike Ford, and I am truly grateful for their support in getting the house purchase pushed through. Thanks you for your help.
BUYER
We chose Mike and his team after meeting with several estate agents to assess the service they offered, cost and professionalism. We are delighted with our choice. Their approach throughout has been great. Right from advising on an appropriate price, through marketing to finding a buyer and monitoring progress. When the initial buyer dropped out they were quick to get the property back on the market and find a new buyer. As a bonus they are a lovely friendly team to deal with.
