“John and the team at Pettyson made moving much easier. They were friendly to deal with, had lots of sound advice and a good network of contacts.
A great estate agent to deal with - pretty sure that's a phrase not used every day!
Danielle and Steve Morgan - Hermon Hill
Petty Son and Prestwich were very supportive throughout the process of selling my property. I had to have some additional works done to the property at short notice and they were brilliant in keeping me calm through the process and helping me find appropriate workmen etc. Although I know I must have been just one of many clients on their books, they always made me feel special and as if I was the most important person for them at that time.They always replied to my emails and phone messages promptly. I think everyone in the office ended up being involved in my sale at some point or another - and every one of them went the extra mile.

Dear John and Team,
We would like to thank you for advertising in our summer fayre brochure which helped raise over £1000 towards our summer fayre and was seen by over 350 people. The event was a great success raising record-breaking profits of £8100! We could not put on events such as these without the support of companies like you and appreciate your support helping our school.
Kind Regards,
June – On behalf of Wanstead Church School PTA
This is a long established independent company and it shows in the quality information, expertise and communication skills of the staff. Knowing the local market achieved a realistic but not disappointing price and marketing skills meant an good offer was made and accepted within a short space of time. The agent went far beyond the extra mile when there was a delay in exchange of contracts caused by what I can only imagine was an inefficient, disorganised and uncommunicative firm of solicitors. The advice, persistent help and calm and supportive manner made what turned into a very stressful period as bearable as it possibly could. All in all I would strongly recommend all aspects of the agent's service.

Dear John Wagstaff & Staff,
Marguerite and I would like to place on record our thanks for the help and encouragement we’ve received from your staff during the sale of our old home Langley Drive and the purchase of Grosvenor Court,
Yours sincerely,
Marguerite & Gerald Wimborne – Grosvenor Court
“I’ve bought and sold houses in the past, but John and his team really opened my eyes with regards to what a good agent is. Straight talking, knowledgeable and down to earth, every single one of the team in the office worked very effectively together in selling my house... and boy did they sell it. John talked through the marketing strategy which was better thought through than all the other agents and was far more accurate in the pricing than them too. Not only that, with the way his team worked together they managed to achieve 6.5% above the asking price. Going with the cheapest agent is a false economy. As a buyer, you need to go with someone who’s straight talking and has a team which is genuinely working well for you... not a typical agent who is all talk and no trousers. Saving 0.25% up front on fees may cost you a lot more in not maximising your sale price... in my case they made me an extra 6.5%.” Adam Phillips - Wellesley Road
Dear John,
I can hardly believe that I have been here a month and yet it also seems as if I have been here for years. Now the packing cases have all been emptied and I have managed to get my computer up and running I am writing to thank you and your staff for all your efforts and patience in the sale of 29 South View Drive. I also want to thank you for your own efforts in negotiating a reduction for Windy Ridge. I am currently consulting electricians to get all the out-of-date equipment brought into the 21 century.
With best wishes,
Gill Hutchinson – South View Drive, South Woodford.
Dear John,
I would like to thank you for all the advice that you’ve given me regarding starting up a business and for putting me in touch with Neville. The knowledge you have both given me has been invaluable. It was very kind of both of you to import so much knowledge, it is very much appreciated. Would you please thanks Neville for me and again please accept my thanks.

After many, very happy years living in Wanstead we felt it time to move on and this meant putting our much- loved house on the market. It was important to us that whichever Estate Agent we chose would need to be as passionate about the house as we were and we found this to be the case with everyone working at Petty Son and Prestwich. Right from our first discussion we felt that their friendly, honest and hard working ethos was above and beyond what we could wish for. We felt extremely comfortable entrusting them with the task of finding a buyer for our property. This goal was achieved very quickly and the smooth transaction was due to their professionalism throughout the whole process. They always considered our thoughts and respected our privacy and we felt that we were very fortunate to have such a wonderful, local Estate Agent to call upon to help us.
Mr & Mrs Farnfield - The Avenue, Wanstead"Having spoken to a number of estate agents in Wanstead, my wife and I are very pleased that we opted for Pettys. From the outset the experience of dealing with John and his team was pleasant and efficient and certainly made a lengthy sale process easier to navigate and endure.
John in particular was always on the end of the phone ready to offer his help and advice. His positive and hospitable nature, in what must be a busy and ever-changing industry, certainly reflects the company’s ethos of focusing on the local community and yet his broad knowledge of the property market made it easy to forget that Pettys are an independent and local business; not a large high-street chain!
We were extremely impressed by the service offered by John and his team at Pettys and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending their services. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable property firm that stays true to it’s roots and local area, don’t look beyond Pettys – they’ve been brilliant!
Neil & Carolyn Perry - Oakside Court
Dear John,
Cant believe we got there in the end! Hollybush Hill really is my dream plot so thank you for all your help in helping me get it.
Nicola Genese - Hollybush Hill
Dear John,
Now that my purchase and sale have been completed, I feel I must write to say how happy I was with the professional attention I received from all your team. Not only were they always ready to guide me in every step, but I always felt as a friend rather than a client and their jolly atmosphere helped to change what I thought would be a traumatic period into, on the whole, a very easy transitional move.
Many thanks indeed to all.
Colin Walker – Deynecourt Gardens
Dear John,
Peter and I would like to thank you very much indeed for all your work in successfully selling mum’s house in Leonard Road, Forest Gate. Once again your experience and expertise made a difference.
Please pass on out thanks to everyone in the office, especially Jeff, for their unfailing good natured responses and prompt action when dealing with our queries. You are very fortunate to have staff who take their work seriously and who give such good service to your clients.
I know it has not been an easy sale, partly because of the market, and we are very grateful to Petty Son and Prestwich for helping us to conclude the business of mum’s estate with relative speed. Once again thanks to all for their efforts in making this possible.
With best wishes to you for the continued success of the business,
Heather and Peter Lee - Leonard Road
They were excellent on everything. They guided and advised us very well. They were open an honest and good value for money.
Barbara Crowhurst - Eaton Rise
The staff were very friendly and efficient. I dealt with Jeff but to be honest everyone in the office was well informed about my sale. I have already recommended them to other people.
Brenda Bracken - Woodlands Avenue
We chose Petty son & Prestwich because they specialse in the area. Our perception of estate agents wasn't good but they really changed that. They go above and beyond with their service and I cant praise them too highly. Jeff in particular was great and really made sure we were looked after. We had a lot of agents to choose from and I have to say they are the nicest agents we have come across.
Mike & Brenda - Addison Road
I am writing to thank you all for all your help in achieving a satisfactory sale of the above property in very difficult marketing conditions.
I have substantial experience of property dealings both commercial and residential markets and retain interests and involvement in both.
I have been very impressed by the professionalism of yourself and your team which I have never found bettered in over 40 years.
I hope I have the opportunity of using your services again.
Iain Muspratt – Malford Court – Completed March 2011
Dear John, Valerie, Jenny, Jeff and the team,
We wanted to drop you a line to express our gratitude for the exemplary way that you handled the sale of our house in Ridgeway Gardens.
Your guidance and advice as regarding marketing was always spot on, and you remained encouraging and positive when we felt despondent at not finding a property for ourselves. When we finally found somewhere and the negotiations were rocky, you were there again with wise counsel, which saved the day and enabled us to secure the house we wanted, under difficult circumstances.
We will unhesitatingly recommend you to our friends, as your blend of experience and knowledge mark you out from your competitors, and dealing with you has been a pleasure.
With best wishes,
Simon and Caroline Roberts - Completed January 2011
Hi John,
Sorry for the delay but I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you to your team for the hard work and persistent effort which they put in to our sale. Particular thanks to the very patient Jeff who helped keep us level headed and really pushed it through,
Many thanks again and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Petty Son to anyone else in the future,
Amber Bird - Cambridge Road- Completed January 2011.
Dear John,
Thank you so very much for your amazing efforts in selling mums property. We really felt it was an impossible mission after 18 months of losing several buyers with other estate agents. Not only did you obtain a great selling price, recommended a good solicitor with whom you work so well. You took such good care of mum in the process. I can’t thank you enough.
Lisa Wells – Newbury Court - Completed January 2011.
Many Thanks for your hard work and commitment.
The Vickers family - Herongate Road
Sue and I would like to thank you and your staff for your helpfulness and efficiency in finding a buyer for the property during what remains a difficult market.
Geoff Nichols - Redbridge Lane West
I am writing to say thank you to you and your colleagues for the excellent service provided during this protracted transaction.
Peter Gould - Halstead Road
"Valerie and the team at Petty Son & Prestwich have provided us with exceptional service in the six months they have been managing our properties. Valerie's unflappable nature and careful dealing of all parties has been second to none. The challenges that come with owning & managing newly built properties have been met with diligence, tenacity and professionalism. We have worked together as a team when required and PS&P have provided support and guidance over certain important matters which we appreciate highly. We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of PS&P as a lettings agent and property management company".
B S Duker - Chelsea Mews
Basically I was new to being a Landlord and with my Wife recently having a baby and us relocating to Kent I wanted a service that would take all the stress out of getting the flat ready to rent and rented out. I'm very pleased that your team achieved that for me. From initially signing up with yourselves to a tenant moving in ended up being about 3 weeks with minimal input from myself or my Wife. We are only one month in, but I am looking forward to my time as a Landlord being as straightforward as it has been so far.
Ian & Sally Mcnair - Manor House Gardens
Dear John, Valerie and all the team at Petty Son and Prestwich
This is just a quick email to thank you all for your assistance with finding tenants for our house in Gordon Road, Wanstead. It has been a pleasure to work with you and you have all worked efficiently, fairly and with integrity (not always words that are associated with estate agents!)
Thank you again and I wish your business all the best
Regards
Lorna Sparks - Gordon Road
Dear John
Just to say a big thank you for the efficient and friendly way in which you handled the selling of my mother's flat. As promised you had a buyer within one week and you went beyond the call of duty to do everything you could to help the progress of the sale. I won't hesitate to recommend you to any of our friends.
Best wishes
Maureen Galloway - The Avenue
“The staff at Petty, Son & Prestwich are a great team who go that extra mile for their clients. Both on sales and lettings they have always operated in a friendly and efficient manner and I have every confidence that will continue”
Nigel Watson - Gordon Road & Chelsea Mews
John Wagstaff and all at Petty Son & Prestwich
We have just completed our move to our new address, and would like to thank you for your friendly, efficient, and professional approach throughout the process of selling our home. You arrived prompt for every arranged meeting and kept us well informed of what the next stage would be. Most importantly, you were always easily accessible by phone and dealt with all our queries in a warm courteous manner. In the stressful time of moving home that quality is priceless.
Thank you all once again.
Linda & Colin Anderson - Ashbourne Avenue
John and the team at PSP,
Thank you for all your help and guidance during the buying process for my first flat. Your assistance organising my multiple visits, and patience during the stressful times that occurred, were much appreciated and I can recommend you as a hand-holder par excellence. Your advice was always welcome and I have no hesitation recommending your agency to other customers.
Trisha Tassinari - Hermon Hill
Dear John
The Team at Petty's is wonderful. They worked extremely hard to sell our flat: they did all our viewings; kept us informed of feedback; advised and supported us throughout the whole process. We can't thank them enough for all the work they did that we knew about and all the behind-the-scenes work they did too. An absolutely first class service. We would recommend them to anyone.
Jenny and Gary - Hermon Hill
"I have just recently moved into my new house and it is with thanks to John, Valerie, Jenny and the team at PS&P that I was able to achieve my goal of finding my ideal home. They also made the decision of renting my flat an easy and stress free one. Being a landlord for the first time seemed a daunting task but PS&P took those worries away. They quickly found tenants and ensured the whole buying and renting process came to together simultaneously, and provided guidance throughout. Any hurdles and stresses along the way were quickly and efficiently dealt with. PS&P provide a personal service and their expertise and experience makes them a pleasure to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
Liz Ady - Falcon Way & Halstead Road
Dear John, Val and team
Thank you very much for a highly professional, brilliant service!! Everyone in Wanstead should be using you!!
Lena - Camden Road
I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you, John, Jeff, Val (and anyone else I've missed!) for the fabulous job you did for Laura and I. It was a pretty up and down process but we were both really impressed with the way in which you managed things and are really grateful for all of the time that you spent. We're just about settled in now (and have no intention of moving anytime soon!) but if and when we do, we will certainly plan on using Petty's. Anyone we know who is looking to move gets a strong recommendation from us to talk to you!!
