BigBlackHen.com Estate Agents Welwyn Garden City

Nigel and his team have successfully sold 2 flats for me in the last 12 months. During the process I was kept fully informed of the marketing and interest shown, together with sound advice regarding the selling price, which reflected the condition and years left on the leases.It was also good to work with an estate agent who has principles, namely fixed prices, no gazumping policy and no contracts that tie you in.I have referred several clients to the Big Black Hen and will continue to do so at every opportunity. Nigel has referred some of his clients to me to assist them with independent mortgage advice (Sorpen Financial Solutions Ltd).

We would like to say thank you for the excellent service you have provided, from the beginning to the end of the process- personal, a clear strategy from the outset, clear expectations, straight advice, and no unnecessary communications. We also really admire your ethical approach to selling. It has all been very easy and stress-free (from our point of view at least!). If only all estate agents operated in a similar way. We are really pleased with the outcome, and wouldn’t hesitate to use you again or to recommend the agency to anyone.

I recently marketed my property with Big Black Hen, after realising that their fresh approach to selling and marketing was exactly what I was looking for. The photos and write up were above and beyond the usual agency-recycled phrases and sayings, which attracted potential buyers from outside of the usual sales catchment.The professionalism of Nigel and his team really stood out throughout the process and helped my property sale go through smoothly and efficiently, whilst remaining competitively priced against the local agencies.

BBH couldn't have been better when I sold my Hertford apartment. The time taken from the first conversation to marketing the property was a matter of a day, I received excellent advice on valuation and then real time feedback as offers came in. Responsiveness to calls and emails was always instant and essentially I didn't have to lift a finger - my only part to play was to make the decision to accept an offer based on their well rounded feedback.

For 6 months I'd been looking unsuccessfully through the usual routes for a property to buy within my budget when I stumbled on a flat advertised by Big Black Hen. Compared to most nowadays the asking price was competitive yet fair, and it was the type of project I was looking for.There were a couple of issues during the sale, as there often is but to their credit they were eventually resolved. With a positive and direct approach to business, I found BBH better than most in the often tricky world of buying a home.

We sold our house with Nigel from Big Black Hen He was very professional and efficient with a good sense of humor that put us at ease. He gave us great advice on how to prepare our house for sale, he kept in touch throughout the process and was never pushy and very effective in finding the right people for viewingsHe wrote a great description and took attractive pictures of our house. Nigel made the effort to be at every viewing and was relaxed throughout which put us all at ease.The whole experience was a good one and he sold our house within two weeks, we would recommend Nigel and Big Black Hen to anyone selling their house.Thank you Nigel

The best agents we have ever used. The reasonable and simple fee structure means you can be sure all advice is purely to optimise the sale of your property - and that advice was invaluable. Handled viewings very well, whether we were at home or not, putting prospective purchasers at ease. Communications were excellent, and Nigel was always available whenever we had any queries. Without their guidance and support, it is probable we would still have our house on the market. We have recommended Big Black Hen to several friends who are equally delighted.

Nigel and Bobbie were fantastic from start to finish! Nigel was always enthusiastic and we knew he could sell our flat from the moment we met him. Bobbie and Nigel were always keeping us up to date on progress and feedback of viewings, and managed to get us an offer for the full asking price! I would highly recommend using Big Black Hen over larger high street estate agents, as you will get a much more personalised and stress-free experience here!

Nigel has sold 23 properties for us in Hertfordshire over the last two years. Big Black Hen is completely proactive and keeps us in the loop on the sales process. He is realistic on price so you don't end up in the doom loop loved by many agents who will overprice to get your business and then leave you to drop the price once they have you on the hook, not a good idea when presenting to the market. Unlike any other estate agent we have used, he keeps a close track of sales and the legal process ensuring he communicates with everyone. So different compared to our experience with a conversion of 12 flats and 6 houses on the South Coast, sadly outside of Big Black Hens area, where the catalogue of ineptitude led to numerous sales dropping out and just not enough attention paid to managing the complexities of conveyancing. Big Black Hen provides excellent professional service unlike any other estate agents we have dealt with. I can't express enough how much better it is to have Nigel managing a sale.

Nigel Adams & Bobbie Pearson at Big Black Hen have really earned a positive review. Their consistency and attention to detail made purchasing of our new home a Joy. Although there were delays due to solicitor complications the reassurance and communication controlled by Big Black Hen ensured we were always in the know.The whole experience was extremely welcoming and honest and the service felt personable and friendly.Many Thanks AgainTom & Danielle
