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 its roots and local area, don’t look beyond Pettys – they’ve been brilliant!

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.

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.

We decided to use Petty Son and Prestwich following a recommendation by a friend and we weren't disappointed. As soon as we met Catherine we knew we'd made the right decision. Catherine and the rest of the team at the Buckhurst Hill office were professional and trustworthy throughout. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I couldn't recommend the Petty Son & Prestwich team more highly! Having decided to sell our flat in Aldersbrook we chose to seek a valuation from Petty, amongst others. The overriding factor that lead us to opt for them was the fact that not only did the valuation seem fair and informed, the advice and strategy proposed by Fay gave us confidence and was over and above anything we had seen from other agents, whose tactics appeared to be throwing high, unrealistic valuations at the seller in a hope to win the business. During a tough post brexit housing market the Petty team kept us informed and calm throughout the process. Once offers were accepted, Elaine and Fay worked tirelessly to help us complete what was a pretty eventful sale professionally and within our targeted time-frame. Impressive!!!
