Personal Experience
Local Knowledge
Wellington Evans is a unique team, made up of experienced local estate agents Nick Wellington and James Evans, who live and breathe property in the North Hertfordshire and Central Bedfordshire area. We are small enough that we can get to know each and every client, offering help and advice from start to finish. However, with enough experience and enthusiasm to provide outstanding service, with exceptional results.
Through transparency and perseverance, our goal is to help both buyers and sellers navigate the often-confusing business of moving home. Moving is more than just bricks and mortar, but changing where you sleep, eat, relax and entertain. It could change your work commute time, or bring you closer to friends and family. We take pride in assisting our clients to achieve their dreams.
Testimonials
SELLER
We were impressed with James' knowledge of the local market, and his enthusiasm and commitment to making our house sale a good experience. James is straightforward and honest. He's the first estate agent I have met (and we've bought and sold a few houses now) who is prepared to share his views and offer advice - which was appreciated. After a couple of bumps In the road we sold promptly and with no last minute glitches. I'd certainly recommend a James and Nick - and their service oriented small team.
SELLER
First enquiry call to completion in under 10 weeks. Found a buyer for my buyer and put together a solid chain of 3, owning the whole process from start to finish. Stop reading this and call them.
SELLER
Exceptional service from start to finish. I highly recommend James and the Wellington Evans team. They successfully and efficiently sold an inherited property for me and I cannot fault them. I would not hesitate to use them again.

If you are thinking of using another estate agent other than wellington Evans don't - they are exceptional and the best estate agents in Hitchin !!!We recently sold our house through Wellington Evans and we can honestly say they are head and shoulders above their competitors - many of which we have used in the past and have been unimpressed!It was very evident from our first meeting with Nick that he knew precisely the strategy he needed to adopt to market our property. This strategy was spot on and executed perfectly, leading us to obtain multiple high value offers within days of our open house!Nick fully explained the whole selling process and was very professional in his manner.Following two very successfully open days we received multiple offers. Again Nick guided us through the selection process.After this point James handled the back office stage of making sure both parties were kept updated with the various solicitor requests and processes required to exchange and complete.James like Nick was very experienced and very professional in his approachWe were kept in the loop during the whole process and they were always happy to take our callsWe cannot rate Wellington Evans highly enough and five star review does not do them justice!ThankyouSanjay & Anita

SELLER
Nick and James of Wellington Evans have been excellent throughout our sale process and I cannot recommend them highly enough.Bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience they provided expert guidance in selecting the right approach to marketing, then managed the whole viewing process and agreed a sale all in very good time. They have been open, supportive and communicative throughout a complex and often difficult time.Since our Sale was agreed they have continued to work tirelessly on our behalf to organise the other links in the chain to drive things forward towards exchange and completion.If only all agents achieved the same high standards as Wellington Evans.
SELLER
We sold our house with Wellington Evans. A buyer was found quickly & the sale proceeded without any issues thanks to the guidance and suggestions of the agent. Would very happily recommend.
SELLER
I went to Wellington Evans after receiving poor service and poor advice from a major high street Estate Agent. The team at Wellington Evans tailored their approach to selling my property to suit it location, size and the prevailing economic environments. They gave realistic and honest advice which allowed me make well informed decisions. Even when one offer fell through they replaced it the same same day with another. They are well deserving of their 5 * review.
SELLER
Moving home is stressful and I wanted to find an estate agent who would, not only sell my home, but support me through this time. When I first met James one of the first things I remember him saying to me was "to have faith in me to sell your home". I decided to put my faith in James and the team at Wellington Evans and they didn't disappoint. My house quickly sold. James was always very prompt at getting back to me with any queries I had and I was fully supported throughout the whole process.I would highly recommend Wellington Evans.
SELLER
I recently had the pleasure of working with James for the sale of my house. I was impressed by his honesty and pragmatic approach. I was confident that he was closely monitoring all aspects of the sale from day 1 and was grateful for his honest advice throughout. There was an issue with my boiler which had to be replaced but with James's intervention and advice, this did not affect the sale.I would recommend this company for their honest approach
SELLER
James and Nick helped guide us through a slightly challenging and frustrating move with patience and clear expertise.We originally chose W. E. as the agent to market our house with their refreshing and creative sales offering. Their approach, owning some of the risk around fee gave us confidence in their commitment to our sale. We also know both are local and fully understand the market.As part of our move we got to witness first hand the effect of "high volume" agents and so having this much more personal service really helped us.We would highly recommend using their service.
SELLER
A big thank you to the team at Wellington Evans and in particular, James, for his guidance throughout our moving journey.In my naivety as a first time seller, I didn't realise how crucial the role of the estate agent can prove to be. We all thought we were dealing with a straight forward transaction initially, but challenges and complications arose that none of us could have foreseen. Without James' expert help in navigating the process, I think a likely outcome for us would have been staying put for a number of years.I cannot emphasise enough the value James and the team have brought to the transaction. They have provided guidance and advice throughout, and are not afraid to have difficult conversations when needed.For anyone contemplating who they should select as their estate agent, I would highly recommend Wellington Evans - you are in expert hands with the team. Should we decide to move again in the future, the first phone call we will be making is to James.James and team - our sincere thanks and gratitude again for all of your help, steer, support and patience.
SELLER
Wellington Evans were truly outstanding and acted for me way beyond any usual remit that might be attributed to ordinary Estate Agents. I was faced with some difficult circumstances in selling a property in Hitchin in summer 2022. It is not a geographic area with which i have any familiarity. By chance i was recommended to Wellington Evans. All the way through the process from the simple but practical suggestions to house layout for the photography, dealing with the open house weekend and the substantial viewings generated through their carefully targeted marketing campaign (at no extra cost I must add) and dealing with the validation of the prospective buyer's credentials their service was exemplary. Even when, at the 11th hour, a problem arose around exchange and completion, Wellington Evans rose to that challenge with their years of experience and connections within the financial marketplace and everything worked, almost like clockwork! But well within the timeframe that I had requested at the start of the process. I would suggest than anyone who wants a true professional approach and management of selling a property then forget the rest, Wellington Evans will give you the best experience and more than likely the best result.
SELLER
We have recently bought and sold with Wellington Evans and their service was faultless. James has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area and on our initial meeting spent along time giving us great advice whilst listening to what our specific needs were. James helped us enormously with our pricing strategy when selling and with that great advice enabled us to gain maximum price for our house which enabled us to purchase our current home.Whilst waiting for us to exchange James kept us informed at all times and ensured the process went as smoothly and quickly as possible, chasing up any loose ends.Everyone at Wellington Evans gave a fantastic service, completely professional, knowledgeable and always available to advise. We can t praise James enough and would highly recommend Wellington Evans to anyone looking to buy/sell.
SELLER
If you are unsure which estate agents to use, my husband and I would 100% recommend Wellington Evans. James and Nick are professional, proactive and passionate, but best of all they will go the extra mile (and more) for you.Our next house sale (hopefully not for a while) will definitely be with Wellington Evans
SELLER
We stumbled across Wellington Evans by chance, and thank goodness we did. From the start Nick and James have been amazing. No pressure from them at all. They valued our house, talked us through all the selling options and guided us through everything. The pictures were taken and 2 days later we were on the market. Literally 2 days after that, they advised us to have an open house that weekend. We had a lot of interest and by the Wednesday we accepted an offer. So all in all from our first meeting to the sale of our home, it was under 3 weeks. We can not recommended them highly enough. Professional from start to finish. 5 star service throughout
SELLER
Nick was recommended by a friend - and I am so pleased I took their advice. Fantastic service from start to finishTruly professional, knowledgable and realistic in their manner. Communication was first class.Would highly recommend
SELLER
We recently moved and James went above and beyond to ensure our move went as smoothly as possible.My husband and I would highly recommend James and the team, they are more than just an estate agent as they are there, at your side, guiding you at every step of the process. James was knowledgeable and professional but most of all really cared about our experience and ensuring we were kept informed.We have moved 5 times now and we know that moving house is a stressful experience. This is by far the best estate agent we have used, we honestly feel that we would not have achieved buying our dream house without him.. Massive thanks to James and the team.
SELLER
I used Wellington Evans to sell a property, they went above and beyond for what was a complicated process at times. We had used a different agency previously, and not had much interest. When WE came in, we made a plan to refresh the property and marketing approach which saw many more viewers and an offer.James was great at helping me figure out the next best move and the advice they gave from start to finish was excellent.Lovely, supportive and involved team, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again myself.
SELLER
We've had an incredible experience with Wellington Evans at every stage of our selling journey.Selling your first property is always tricky, but after working with other local agents, we feel very grateful for the dedicated experience we received from James and his trusting manner and incredible expertise.From meeting Nick at the start and receiving good, honest advice, to the comprehensive viewings carried out and always taking the time to talk us through the process. James kept us smiling and knowledgable and we would recommend them to anyone selling or buying in Hitchin (and wider), they really are the best and you will feel in great hands every step of the way, and with great local recommendations and suppliers who have also made our experience as flawless as it can be.
SELLER
We engaged Wellington Evans to sell our house after meeting four other agencies. We liked Nick immediately - he was open, informative and pragmatic - and he guided us through the process, as far as accepting an offer, with great skill and efficiency. We are hopeful that the second part of the process, to exchange and completion, will be just as positive an experience
BUYER
I recently used Wellington Evans for a new home I was purchasing. The entire process was managed by a single point of contact - James Evans - who maintained a high-level of communication throughout the process; quickly identified bottlenecks and delays.James's knowledge and experience certainly shone through, not only effectively managing the upward chain, but also supporting the downward chain where necessary. Often the requests and turn-around timelines were very ambitious, but I guess these pressures are part of the buying and selling process. However, I can confidently say, that without James's proactive, candid and supportive communication there would have been significant delays and most likely resulted in my purchase falling through. James is never too busy to help or answer questions; I would certainly recommend the service provided by Wellington Evans.
BUYER
Brilliant personal and friendly service from start to finish. Highly recommend.
BUYER
As a home buyer Wellington Evans provided a professional and enthusiastic service from beginning to end. Buying a home can be stressful and they were motivated and driven to ensure that the sale closed as quickly as reasonably possible.
BUYER
We purchased a house in which Wallington Evans represented the vendors. The process was simplified by James' straightforward communication and professionalism. He helped us considerably with advice on the locality. It was a breath of fresh air dealing with an independent company: Nick and James were always available to be contacted directly and nothing was too much trouble.
BUYER
What an amazing service we have received from the team. James and his team has been very helpful throughout the whole process. This is the first house we purchase and we are glad that we go with Wellington Evans. James are true professional who guided our way to buying our home for the first time. We just moved to the UK and there are some hiccups throughout the process but James and his team are calm and able to provide great support.Upon completion date, James was so nice to show us around the house and point us where those meters are, which helped a lot!We 100 percent recommend this company to anyone who are looking for properties within their radar.Thank you James and team. Wishing you all the best!
BUYER
As a first time buyer, I can't thank Nick and James for their help and support throughout the whole process.I knew that buying a house would be stressful anyway, but their patience, help, and dedication, with no question that arose being an issue, and them calmly taking me through the process from having my offer accepted to the day of completion.Their dedication and commitment to their clients is faultless, even staying in contact beyond the completion of the sale making sure that everything was sorted.Thanks again to you all, and I would definitely recommend Wellington Evans to any buyer or seller in the future.
BUYER
I will keep this short and sweet.We were (first-time) buyers of a house with a legally complex transaction process which would have simply not concluded/completed without James as our captain of a ship on a trip of what initially looked like smooth sailing, but quickly turned into a wild storm at open sea.The deal was at the brink of collapsing 2-3 times due to undoubtedly challenging circumstances to both seller and buyer and James weaved the (emotional) thread necessary to ship it home safely.I am convinced successful completion would have not been possible had the (first-time) seller instructed Joe Bloggs from High Street Estate Agency.We already know who to call should we outgrow our new home.
BUYER
Buying a property is a very involved and stressful task. I had just attempted to buy, but that fell through. I was just about ready to throw in the towel and rent again. But, first and by chance, I contacted Wellington Evans in my last attempts to find an appropriate property. Wellington Evans were more than fantastic. They were very patient, helpful, provided sound advice and most importantly of all, they put me in touch with the right person for the right property for me. So, yay, I am now buying and it all looks like its going through nicely. I can' thank Wellington Evans enough.
BUYER
We have recently bought a house through Wellington Evans and found the whole process easy and stress free. James kept us informed at every stage of the purchase. His excellent communication skills enabled him to liaise with solicitors on our behalf and with our buyers and down through the chain. Everything ran smoothly and efficiently.If we were to now sell our house we would use Wellington Evans and highly recommend them!
BUYER
James, Nick and the rest of the WE team have been a pleasure to deal with. Offering experience, support and guidance through a quite complex process. I highly recommend them for a respectful personal touch and particularly their 'lets get things done' attitude.
BUYER

BUYER
We recently had the pleasure of working with Nick from Wellington Evans to purchase our first home, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the closing of the deal, Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Their communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and guiding us through each step with clarity and patience. Thanks to Nick and the team at Wellington Evans, we are now the proud owners of our first home. We highly recommend their services to anyone in search of a reliable and dedicated estate agent. Thank you Nick! Lucy and Henry.
