Testimonials
SELLER
Exemplary Service from Start to Finish! We cannot recommend Rob and the team highly enough. After an unfortunate experience with a competitor, we realised just how important it is to choose the right estate agent—and thankfully, we found exactly that! From the outset, Rob impressed us with his professionalism, charisma, and in-depth knowledge of the market. He handled the sale of my nan’s property with remarkable efficiency, securing a swift and successful outcome. His communication was clear

We sold my late mother in laws bungalow through Colwills. The sale was dealt with sensitively and appropriately throughout. Gareth was extremely helpful with the initial marketing and Gail was excellent at managing the sale through to completion. Thoroughly recommended.

Colwills have been fantastic from start to finish when selling our house. From the initial visit by Ben who was extremely upbeat and enthusiastic about the sale whilst the competition were pessimistic and did not I still confidence at all. My parents are very elderly and all viewings were accompanied and feedback was given. Gail kept us fully informed at all times and was extremely professional and a delight to deal with. We are very happy customers. Thank you for your marvellous service!

Rob Colwill and his team are very professional and thorough. Having recently sold our family home through Colwill's we found the advertising, accompanied viewings and process to be appropriate to our needs. Gail Penrose provides an invaluable adjunct to the Service once an offer is underway - ensuring all parties are kept up to date and enabling clear and less stressful Exchange and Completion stages. Thanks to all involved.

We can’t recommend Colwills enough. They dealt extremely professionally and with great care when dealing with the sale of our home this year. Gareth’s professionalism and experience throughout the negotiation process was second to none and Gail went above and beyond making sure we completed when we needed to. We have used other agents in the past but this was by far our best experience of a friendly, professional team.

Rob, Ben + the team really pulled out all the stops for us. Not only highly professional but also personal + emotionally invested in the selling journey with us too. They understood we wanted to find the right buyers that would continue to love and appreciate our home of nearly 19yrs. All round amazing service from the very first call to the after care + beyond. Star team cannot thank them enough - we feel so lucky to have this service on our doorstep!

We must record our appreciation of the fantastic service we received from Colwills on the recent sale of a family property. We initially met 3 local agents. Rob's valuation on the property was spot on. Of the others, one was way too high and the other too low. Rob was firm in resisting our higher expectations and was proved to be right with a sale price being acheived just above his figure. We were selling from 150 miles away and had to rely on the Colwills team to attend all viewings and handle

We have recently completed the sale of a property using Colwills. We found them to be absolutely brilliant from beginning to end of the process. Extremely knowledgeable about the local market and how changes in the country are likely to impact it. They also have a dedicated person for sales progression, who keeps an eye on how the sale is progressing and deals with any issues as they come up. The whole team are both professional & friendly and a pleasure to deal with. We would use them again and

We have recently relocated to Bude and our purchase was sold by Colwills. I couldn’t recommend them enough, our move was complicated and stressful for many reasons (nothing in Colwills control) and the team were always helpful and supportive. A huge thank you to Gareth and Richard. Gail in particular though was absolutely brilliant after our offer was accepted, always going above and beyond to keep things moving. We now have our dream home and couldn’t be happier. If and when we sell up, they wi

We have just completed a very lengthy purchase (no fault of Colwills) of a new build. Gail, who was our main contact, has been absolutely amazing throughout the whole process and always took the time to update us, even when the news wasn’t so positive. She and the rest of the Colwills team are professional and friendly and make you feel like nothing is too much trouble. If we need an Estate Agent in the future it will 100% be Colwills.

House moves are generally stressful and prone to all sorts of problems and our latest, moving from Dorset to Devon has been no exception. Briefly we pulled out of a purchase and didn't want to lose our buyers so decided to rent for a few months, something we haven't done in years. We checked out some properties and then contacted Colwills about one that had just appeared on Right Move. From the start the whole process was handled in an efficient, friendly and relaxed manner. I can't speak high

We were living in the West Midlands and looking to move to the Bude area to be near family. Colwills had several properties that met our criteria. It's a 3 and 1/2 hour drive but Colwills were very good in arranging viewings to accommodate us including later when we needed to measure up for curtains etc pending purchase completion. Their local knowledge was invaluable in helping us to reach a purchasing decision. Martin and Trish Brennan

I cannot recommend Colwills enough! They made our entire house purchase process a joy. Ben and Gail went above and beyond and made every step of the way a breeze. We were away on holiday on the other side of the world as the purchase was going through they kept everything moving along smoothly - we couldn't have asked for more! We wouldn't hesitate to use them should we wish to sell our house in the future.

TENANT
I would highly recommend Colwills. From arranging to view the properties (I was travelling over 200 miles so they arranged for me to go around to several properties with their agent), to sorting references, payment of their fees and getting my keys, Colwills were friendly, helpful, and professional. My landlord used to manage the property but they then transferred the management of the flat to Colwills. Throughout my time at the property (eight and a half years) they were always very helpful, f

Colwills have been absolutely brilliant during our time as tenants with them. They made everything so easy when we moved in and whenever something went wrong they were on it straight away. Moving out was just as easy handing in my notice and the deposit was paid back very quickly. I can highly recommend Colwills. Johnny
