What Our Customers Say...

I've dealt with Howard and his colleagues for the last 3 years. After buying a buy-to-let investment property in Brentwood 2 years earlier I had initially placed the property with another local agent, but due to experiencing poor and inefficient service I started to look around for another option. Through a work colleague recommending WN, I initially discussed my concerns and was happy that they really understood my need to find a trustworthy agent. I moved the management to them within a short time-frame and immediately saw a vast improvement in the hands on approach I was looking for. I have no doubts in recommending WN Properties to anyone who is looking for an experienced agency.

Mr F

Our experience of selling our property in Shenfield, from start to finish, was exceptionally professional and well handled by Margaret Nicol, as the lead, plus all of her team in support.

Mr and Mrs P

I was passed WN's contact information in 2015 by a friend prior to me leaving the country to take up a teaching position in Prague. Having owned and lived in my house for a number of years I was looking for an agent who understood my needs at, not just finding the right tenant, but how I wanted the property managed. Howard was really helpful and, now entering my fourth year abroad, I'm so happy I chose them to look after things and have had great reports from my old neighbours on how lovely my tenants are. Well done WN!
