Fantastic experience: Really an Outstanding Estate Agent - Particularly the "dream" team of Alan, Simon and John - they were all able to handle any query or issue I had along the way immediately and gave excellent advise - If I was them I would have got fed up of me turning up every couple of days to their office to check progress but they always answered and dealt with any issue I had very professionally and in a friendly and approachable manner - When they were talking to potential Buyers and Other Solicitors they really did have my interests as a priority - Can't recommend them enough, you really need to use this Agent if you are Selling you house in the Chessington area
Such kind words are very much appreciated, thank you so much. The team at Chessington have worked together for many years and there is no substitute for their knowledge, experience and the desire to do a good job for everyone. Thank you again. Graham Nicholls, Business Owner
Negative experience: I called the number and had the unfortunate experience of speaking with an older "gentleman". I have rarely encountered someone so rude, dismissive and seemingly uninterested in helping a customer. His attitude throughout the conversation was appalling. Simple questions were met with an abrupt and unhelpful manner, giving the distinct impression that my call was an inconvenience and that he would rather be doing anything other than dealing with a customer. Customer service is about listening, communicating professionally and making an effort to assist. Sadly, none of those qualities were evident during my interaction with Ian. The tone and manner in which he responded were completely unacceptable and left me wondering why someone who appears to have so little interest in dealing with customers is working in a customer-facing role. A genuinely unpleasant experience from start to finish. I would strongly recommend that management review how customer enquiries are being handled, because this level of service reflects very poorly on the organisation. I am more than happy to be contacted directly to discuss my experience and provide further details.
Negative experience: PSA for prospective buyers: based on my experience, I would strongly advise anyone purchasing a new-build or renovated property through Nicholls Residential to carry out thorough due diligence on the developer involved. I purchased a property marketed through Nicholls and developed by N. Khan / Goldstar Real Estate. A professional snagging inspection later identified a substantial number of defects, and I have since experienced prolonged difficulty getting agreed remedial works completed. While the developer is ultimately responsible for the build quality and remedial works, Nicholls have been copied into my email correspondence from the outset, so they are aware of the ongoing issues. I am also happy to provide evidence of the communication history and attempts made to resolve matters if required. For me, an estate agent's willingness to market properties for a particular developer is relevant information when deciding whether to purchase through them, particularly where the agent has subsequently been made aware of significant post-completion concerns. My advice to prospective buyers would be to commission an independent snagging/building inspection, research the developer carefully, get all remedial promises in writing, and check the warranty and after-sales arrangements before committing.
Thank you for your review and am sorry that you have found the some of the work carried out by the developers to be defective and understand your frustrations. We have no connection to the developers other than to act as Agents and to market the property for sale which we did. We have made the developers aware, as have you, of the issues that you have experienced however we have no influence or powers over the developers to address matters. We market many properties, both new and previously owned and the condition and build is a matter for the seller. The role of an Estate Agent is not as a builder or surveyor but to market and complete sales. Clearly where we are aware of issues we would act appropriately. In the case of a new build the properties would be marketed with planning permission and full sign off in relation to building regulations. The buyers of any property can carry out inspections themselves and indeed commission a survey which is the usual course of events. I feel that your review is an unfair one as the issues that you have are directly concerned with the developer and not us as Agents. We will continue to make the developers aware of your concerns and will encourage them to address them with you. Thank you Graham Nicholls, Business Owner.
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience when buying our home through Nicholls residential back in may . Alan was amazing really friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble to viewings and any questions we needed answered. Just want to say a big thanks for all your help .

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience with John and Nicholls Residential. From start to finish, John made the entire process smooth, straightforward and completely stress-free. He was professional, responsive and never made us feel pressured at any stage. This was by far the best experience we have ever had with an estate agency. We felt well looked after throughout, and everything was handled efficiently and with great care. We would highly recommend John and Nicholls Residential Chessington Branch. For any future property sale or purchase, they would be our first and only choice.

Fantastic experience: We just sold our house through Nicholls residential and they were amazing. We saw three estate agents and it was an easy choice. We liked Alan from the minute we met him. He's really friendly and knowledgeable. As with any house sale there were some ups and downs along the way but Alan was calm and professional throughout. He was easy to get hold of on the phone and always replied to emails promptly. We also dealt with John and Simon in the office who were great as well. Moving can be very stressful but Nicholls residential are a very reliable, professional team who will help to make it all as smoothly as possible. I would recommend Nicholls Residential to anyone who's trying to move house. If you're thinking of which estate agent to choose, look no further.
Thank you Mr James, we are so glad that you chose Nicholls Residential to help sell your property, we really do appreciate your 5 star review and your very kind words regarding the service you received from Alan and the rest of the team at the Chessington Office, I will make sure they all are aware of your review. We hope that you are settling in to your new home. Kind regards. Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: We were really happy with the service provided by the Nicholls team and especially John who brilliantly conducted the sale process till the very end. We would certainly use Nicholls again as the guys were super friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to help at all times.
Good Afternoon Matthew, Thank you for your 5 star rating and your kind words regarding the service you received from the Chessington office, I will make sure they are aware of your review. Thank you
Fantastic experience: It’s incredible how an agency can become more than just a business partner. It can become a true friend. Entrusting someone with your property is a big and delicate decision, but from the moment we started working with them, they have shown unmatched professionalism, care, and dedication. Their attention to detail and constant support made the entire renting and selling process seamless and stress-free. We are truly grateful and look forward to continuing our relationship as loyal clients. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you’ve done. Alejandra & Syed
Thank you Mrs Monroy for your very kind words, they really mean a lot to us and our business, we are truly grateful for your 5 star rating and I am sure we will continue to deal with you as we have done so up to this point.
Fantastic experience: John is an outstanding estate agent. He made buying my first property an enjoyable, efficient and smooth experience. Thank you for all your hard work, patience and support. I would 100% recommend.
Thank you for your kind words. I have worked with John for over 20 years and he does a great job and he has a lot of knowledge and experience. There is no substitute for experience! Thanks again and good luck in your new home. Graham Nicholls Business Owner

Fantastic experience: Great service from Nicholls while purchasing my property. Simon and Alan were extremely helpful and made what can be a stressful situation go smoothly.
Good afternoon, your kind words are very much appreciated. We are so glad we could be of support throughout the whole process. Best wishes. Graham
Fantastic experience: We've been with Nicholls (Chessington Branch) for 8 years and always had a great service
Thank you for your kind words, delighted to have been of service. Best wishes to you all in your new home. Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: Nicholls Residential did a superb job on the sale of our property. We turned to them after having problems selling through a different estate agent. Nicholls Residential picked up our case, marketed at a sensible price with excellent online presence, secured a good buyer very quickly, and sold it for us within 2 months. They always answered queries immediately and even worked weekends. I just wish I'd gone to them in the first place. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
So glad that we have been of service to you and so pleased that all well for you. We really appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to write such kind words. Best wishes. Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: We were so pleased we chose Nicholls Residential for the sale of our home after speaking with others in the area. Simon Carney was a very professional, knowledgeable and friendly person to deal with, who went over and above the normal to help us by keeping us updated throughout. We couldn't recommend them any higher to anyone selling their home.
Thank you for taking the time to write these kind words, we always try to go above and beyond for our clients. Your words have been gratefully received.
Kind regards,
Graham
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my house purchase through Nicholls Residential, and I’d like to especially thank Alan for his exceptional support throughout the process. From start to finish, Alan was highly responsive, proactive, and communicative — always keeping me updated at every stage and ensuring that any questions or concerns were addressed promptly. Buying a home can often be a long and arduous journey, but Alan’s professionalism and calm approach made the experience far smoother and less stressful. His ability to coordinate effectively between all parties involved truly stood out. I’m extremely grateful for his help and would strongly recommend Nicholls Residential to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Their service and commitment are second to none.
Thankyou for your kind words! We are glad we were able to be of great assisstance to you throughout the sales process.We hope you are enjoying your new home. Best wishes. Graham Nicholls.
Positive experience: Our experience with the Chessington office was a bit of a mixed bag. Everyone we spoke with was friendly, and at the end of the day they successfully sold our house, but they were poor on communicating things back to us throughout the sale process. Our customer experience would have been much better if they had been more proactive with communicating the many changes and updates our complicated chain experienced.
Good afternoon, thank you for taking the time to post a review and I am pleased that you have highlighted positives. Clearly we make every effort to communicate well but on occasion we may not always operate to our usual high standards and you have let us know that we have fallen a little short in this instance. Your feedback is valuable and we have learned a lesson and we will be working hard to improve in this area in future. Thank you again for your feedback. Graham Nicholls Business Owner
Fantastic experience: Fantastic estate agents - great personal approach, 10 out of 10, would highly recommend. Alan was brilliant!
Thank you so much for taking the time to post a review. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, always a good feeling when appreciated.
Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. I have used Nicholls 13 years ago to purchase my house and again recently with the sale. They are highly efficient and have excellent communication, they really go the extra mile and work so much harder than the solicitors to get the sale through!
Thank you for your kind words and so good to have been of service again to you. Looking forward to helping again whenever that may be. Thanks again for taking the time to post a review
Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: Had an excellent experience with Nicholls as a first time buyer. Everyone there is lovely from viewings, to answering emails and phone calls. Simon went above and beyond to keep me updated and chase the sellers solicitors/agents, helping me to complete before the stamp duty deadline, which had seemed impossible! Very grateful to the team and will definitely be choosing Nicholls if I ever decide to sell! Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind words, gratefully received. Best wishes to you. Graham Nicholls
Negative experience: Waste of time and energy. I travelled all the way from Sheffield to view a property because the owner was adamant that they wanted to "see me in person" despite a friend initially viewing on my behalf. I spent about about £200 for my train ticket plus childcare for my older kids. Travelled 7 hours in total which included a mixture of 6 trains, delays on the way and an uber. Not to mention that I was 32 weeks pregnant and travelling with an 2 year old. I made an offer which included one year's advance payment on the property but the owner has declined - only they know the true reasons why! It would have been good for the estate agent to be transparent about the likelihood of renting the property rather than wasting my time and energy. My advice to those looking for properties: don't believe that the properties you see online is what they are in reality, make sure you ask lots of questions and don't let anyone put pressure on you to do anything.
Good morning. Thank you for taking the time to review. We do feel that the review is unfair however. We spoke to the Landlord regarding your interest in their property and indeed your circumstances and they were happy for you to come and view. We, the Estate Agents were totally transparent in arranging the viewing. We passed on the information that you gave us regarding your circumstances to the Landlord who then agreed the viewing, I don't know what else we could have done or indeed how differently we could or should have acted. The viewing was arranged in good faith and it is important to actually view. Any viewer can make sure that a property and the area is suitable. I also believe it important that the Landlord or the Agent meets prospective Tenants. We passed on to the Landlord your interest once you had viewed. Unfortunately the Landlord decided not to let the property to you and it is of course their decision and we have to carry out their instructions as I am sure you understand. I do understand your frustration and disappointment and I do understand the fact that you feel inconvenienced, the trip was not an easy one. I hope also that you understand that we do represent the Landlord and the viewing was arranged in good faith and agreed by the Landlord. We are in the hands of the Landlord and it is their decision ultimately as to whom they decide to let their property. I hope that you can see that our hands were tied and that you would reconsider your review knowing this. We wish you success in your property search. Graham Nicholls, Business Owner
Fantastic experience: We have just rented a beautiful property through Nicholls and we are over the moon. The service from these guys is brilliant and they are so lovely. We would highly recommend this estate agents. They're better than any we have dealt with previously. 5
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a great deal to us. Best wishes in your new home
Fantastic experience: The house sale was painless with excellent communication throughout , Simon was excellent.
We very much appreciate that you have taken the time to review, it has been our pleasure to have been of service. Best wishes to you. Graham Nicholls, Business Owner
Fantastic experience: We have worked with Nicholls Residential twice now first when we bought our house in 2021 and more recently when we sold it. Both experiences were excellent, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. When we purchased our home, the process was far from straightforward. It was a long chain, and it took a while to complete. Simon, John, and the entire team at Nicholls Residential were fantastic at keeping us updated and explaining each stage, which made the whole experience much less stressful. More recently, we found our new house through Nicholls Residential and entrusted them to sell our property as well. The sale involved a complex inheritance situation, and just before completion, we faced significant issues with the tenants in the property we were buying. Through all of this, Nicholls Residential remained extremely helpful and professional. They supported us every step of the way, always approachable and ready to answer any questions. They valued our property fairly and managed to achieve a reasonable sale price for us. When arranging viewings, they always provided plenty of notice and made sure our house was presented in the best possible light.
You are very kind with your words and we always appreciate such recognition. We look forward to helping again when you are next ready to move! Best wishes from all here, Graham Nicholls Business Owner
Fantastic experience: Simon helps ist so much with our sale, he went a extra mile to assist us. We moving abroad but he had done all he can to hold us updated. As the best decision to take Nicholls Residential for our House sale. Many thanks to Simon.
You are very kind. We do our best and it is so good to be appreciated. Best wishes to you Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: Very good company. Their stuff is friendly and very helpful. They help us in buying and 10 years later selling a property, get the solicitors and someone for the mortgage. They even got the mail in our flat, as we moved to Germany, and do everything to finish the sale. Very recommended and we would use them happily again. Thanks to all of them for their support.
Thank you so much. This really means a lot.
Fantastic experience: Nicholls Residential were extremely helpful from day 1. Kept us informed at every stage of the sale. Always available to talk to and went above and beyond to help resolve any issues. Very satisfied.
Thank you for the review, it means a lot. If you need any help in the future please get in touch.
Fantastic experience: We received excellent service from Simon, Alan and all the team at Nicholls Residential in Chessington. They were professional, responsive and did a great job in both securing a buyer and then coordinating our sale. We would highly recommend Nicholls if you are considering selling or buying in the Chessington and local surrounding area.
Thank you so much for your kind words, always appreciated. Best wishes from us all. Graham Nicholls-Business Owner
Fantastic experience: We recently sold our property with Nicholls Residential, with whom we had purchased the house. The team did a fantastic job in photographing the house, coordinating the viewings quickly and the eventual sale. From start to finish (4 months), we were looked after very well and had every question answered promptly. Alan, Simon and the team ensured smooth sale, especially with stamp duty changes looming leading up to purchasing our new home. 5 star service when we first bought with Nicholls, and 5 star service when we sold!
We have an excellent team in our Chessington office, thank you for your endorsement of them. Kind words are always appreciated, thank you. Best wishes from all of us here. Graham Nicholls-Business Owner

Fantastic experience: I want to thank the agency for this period and their help. They were always in touch and answered questions. They also gave good advice. And I also want to say a big thank you for the help to Alan, who guided us to buy a house and made every effort. Good job, thank you very much. Liubov & Nazar
We have very experienced teams who are well placed to guide and help as you have noted. Thank you for taking the time to post your review and for the kind words, always appreciated. GrahamNicholls-Business Owner
Fantastic experience: The team at Nicholls are professional, knowledgeable and very personable and we would recommend them to anyone. Alan was absolutely brilliant and guided us through the purchase process and got us over the line.
Negative experience: Have sat on this for a while and it is time to speak up about this company as i wouldnt want anyone else to fall into the trap that i did. I bought my house from Nichols in 2015 and had a relatively good experience with them, so when it came time to rent my house out in 2019 i thought who better to use than the company i trusted. I emigrated to Australia shortly after and i was quite comfortable that my flat was in the right hands with Simon and Nicholls. After six months my first tenants vacated the property (before the tenancy was due) and the property hadn't been looked after very well. After receiving a condition report it was clear the property was not in the condition i had left it in. I had to make Nicholls aware of the holes that had been drilled in the walls and the various other issues that had arisen since the tenancy had started. We'd made an agreement the tenant would lose their deposit and chalked it up to a bad tenant and then moved onto the next. Fast forward two years and the interest rate rises meant i was no longer in a financial position to maintain my property. I seeked advice from Nichols and it was agreed the only solution was to sell the property. After the property went up on the market i was completely beholden to the advice of Nicholls and there 'expertise'. I will admit that as it was my first property sale i was very naive to the workings of real estate. I now realise that estate agents have a bad name for a reason. And thats exactly who Nichols residential are. Bad estate agents. After evicting the tenants that had held the property for two years. The property stayed on the market for 7 months where it had zero interest and zero offers. I was informed the market had slowed and it would be a waiting game. After a while and a lot of council from my father it was decided we would take the sale process into our own hands where we could gain a better perspective of the situation. When we finally gained access to the property we realised what the actual problem was. The property had been left in an absolute state, that had required multiple thousands of pounds to put right. The carpets and walls were beyond disgusting and the tenants had multiple pets living in the flat that were not clean. There was human feces stains on a bed that had to go to the tip. Washing machine, microwave, kettle and toaster all stolen (not included in the checkout report). The level of destruction they had caused was unimaginable and undocumented. And the flat had been in this condition whilst they had been showing prospective buyers to the place. Nichols hadn't conducted any of the 'inspection reports' that they had been sending me in Australia for the two years that i was paying them a management fee to provide. In fact, on closer inspection, two of the reports (dated 6 months apart) had the same pictures from the previous reports which led us to believe that these had never been carried out. And these pictures were taken from the beginning of the original tenancy when the property was in a good condition. The reports also stated that the property was 'overall well looked after with a good level of cleanliness and tidiness inside and out'. Which was a lie. Essentially they took my money every month. And because i was out of the country, took advantage, and never carried out the inspections. When it was time to sell. They dragged their heels and only when we changed estate agents did we find out the property was in total disrepair and needed to be completely overhauled. Please dont use this company if you are looking to rent or sell your property. They will rip you off.
Fantastic experience: We worked with Nicholls Residential to sell our home and are very happy with the experience. All of the team are professional and knowledgable to ensure the selling process went smoothly. Give them a go, I feel they offer much better services than an online agency!
Thank you for your kind words.

The Team were in regular contact with our buyers to update them on the situation and provide reassurance. In addition to this, they also chased the real estate in charge of our new property purchase. This may have also helped drive our purchase in the end. I would be happy to use them again! Thanks again to every one at Nicholls.

Fantastic experience: We sold and purchased through Nicholls who were nothing short of excellent in the service they provided to us, despite a tricky purchase that took some time to complete. The team's communication was always timely, clear and honest. The whole team always seemed well briefed about the latest situation of our sale/purchase and they were always willing to help where they possibly can. A particularly big thank you to Simon Carney who consistently went the extra mile to meet our needs and who was always diplomatic when trying to manage mine, my partners and our buyers expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicholls to prospective sellers/purchasers. We've bought and sold through them on two separate occasions and always walked away impressed with our overall experience.
Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot. Good luck in your new home. You know where we are if you were ever to need us again.
Fantastic experience: What a team! Simon, Alan, John & Ian (and I’m sure some peeps behind the scenes!) negotiated dogs, puppies, cats and us!! No mean feat . As well as being professional they were friendly and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble (even the ‘in shop’ visits with Looney Luna!). I’ve been thinking about moving for 10+ years and they’ve been with me all the way! Can’t thank them all enough. (Alan - I’ll come show you the car when I get it !). Thank you so much guys
Kind words indeed, thank you so much. The team very much appreciate your review.
Fantastic experience: I would Like to say a big thank you to Nicholls Residential Estate agents for selling our house and helping us understand all the ins and outs of the selling proceedure. Simon, John, Alan and Ian were all Professional and very friendly. I would highly recommend them if you are selling your property. cheers guys :)
Hi David,
Thank you for the review we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: We have used Nicholls for both buying, selling and renting out our property. They went above and beyond to assist us with the sale of our rented property especially when we were having issues with the tenants and notice periods. Even though they weren’t managing the tenancy for us, as we were a distance away they helped with liaising with the tenants through this unfortunate and stressful process. Communication with them was slick and regular so we always knew where we were throughout the sale. We highly recommend them !
Good morning Mr Fallon,
Thank you very much for your kind words. We were happy to help. Always here in the future.
Regards
Everyone at Nicholls Resdiential
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much for all your help, especially Simon, Alan and all your team who were just excellent throughout the sale process. I can't believe how quickly my house sold. Brilliant and efficient service. Bought my property through you originally, and you were really brilliant then. Nice to know you can rely and trust Nicholls.
Hi Jonathan,
Thank you very much for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated and it was a pleasure working with you. We wish you all the best.
Kind Regards
The team at Nicholls
Fantastic experience: Thank you Alan, Simon, John and Ian for a smooth and pleasant selling process! Absolutely everything was very professional.
Thank you very much for you kind words, we really appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: I have received good customer care from Nicholls to sell my house. thank you
Thank you so much for your 5 STAR review. It is very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: The team at Nichols Residential were amazing getting our house marketed and sold. The video was a great addition to the house marketing. I must give a shout to Alan and Simon who went above and beyond to assist us on the sale of our house until completion as our buyers were new to the U.K. We cannot fault the service and the absolute length it took to get to exchange. We are happy with the service received and the professional experience we had from all the team. Thank you team NR!
Hi Kitty,
It has been an absolute pleasure. We wish you and your family the best of luck for the future.
Kind Regards
All at NR
Fantastic experience: Really great time of estate agents. John was really pleasant to deal with. As a first time buyer we would really recommend this agency to others whether buying, selling or renting. 10 out of 10 service
Hi Ali,
Thank you so much for your kind words. Always happy to help.
From all at Nicholls
Fantastic experience: We used Nicholls Residential for the sale of our house and were very satisfied with them. They arranged multiple viewings one weekend and were instrumental in helping us decide the most suitable purchaser. They were also very helpful during the process of not only selling our house but the purchase of buying another one and this certainly made a lot of difference to the smooth running of it. Transactions such as these often require follow up calls and various conversations and we found Nicholls Residential to be excellent. We would not hesitate to use them again, or to recommend them.
Hi Val,
Thank you so much for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you. We wish you all the luck for the future and you know where we are if you should ever need us.
Kind Regards
The Chessington Team
Negative experience: Nicholls Residential, Chessington. I called to view a property on Friday. I was told, we need to check with the existing tenants to schedule a day for all the viewing, and we will let you know as you are the 1st client! And, Nicholls Residential stated that they have been managing this property for the last 5 years. I called again the next day Nicholls Residential confirmed that they had never managed this property before! I requested a viewing and was told we will let you know on Monday. On Monday, I called and was informed that all the viewings were conducted last Saturday, and there are 4 offers. Do you want to do business with them? A child asked me why adults behave so badly and fight?
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review for our company.
As we discussed on the phone prior to you submitting this review, I did explain that there is high demand from tenants at this time and there was not enough time to show everyone the property that enquired as the viewings were booked at short notice. I can only apologise again that you along with many other tenants missed out on this property but I have checked and your information is registered with our company so any new properties that become available will be emailed straight to you. If you receive any properties that are of interest please let us know and we will try our best to arrange the appointment for you.
I do think that a 1 star review is unwarranted in this situation. If you would like to contact ourselves we would be happy to discuss this further.
Nicholls Residential
Fantastic experience: We found Nicholls Estate Agents to be really kind,knowledgeable and professional throughout our house sale and with buying our new property. Their charges were extremely good.They were friendly but professional while showing prospective buyers around our house,acknowledging all the covid restrictions. They called to check in with us weekly,sometimes more often,also responded to messages left from us very quickly.We had challenges on moving day and were reassured throughout by the agents dealing with us.We thank them and would highly recommend this company.
Thank you for your kind words. We wish you all the best in your new home.
Fantastic experience: I have both brought and sold through the guys at Nichols. The service has always been great and I would always recommend them! They also do great work at supporting the local too which is awesome!

Thank you for you review, But I think you may have given it to use by mistake. I am glad that you enjoyed your food and drink, where even that may of been !! Kind Regards. Ian Benn
Fantastic experience: We sold our house through Nicholls in June and they did a great job of initially guiding us to a selling price and generating lots of interest very quickly, which ultimately lead to us successfully selling our house. The team are all very friendly and always willing to answer questions etc etc. I would recommend them for anyone considering selling.
Thank you Simon. A pleasure to be of service. Your kind words are very much appreciated
Fantastic experience: Would recommend anyone to use nicholls residential. From start to finish the whole team were so helpful. Our house sold very quickly due to their fantastic marketing.

Fantastic experience: Simon, Alan and all the team at Nicholls provided great advice ahead of putting our house on the market and then went on to do a fantastic job in marketing the property - selling our house within a week. I would highly recommend Nicholls Chessington to anyone considering selling their house in the area.
Thank you so much for your review and recommendation. We work hard to go the extra mile and to be apreciated for doing that means a great deal to us, thank you. Best wishes for the future. Graham Nicholls

Thank you for taking the time to post your review, we all appreciate it here. Thank you also for your recommendation, we carry out a good deal of our business by recommendation. Best wishes to you and your family. Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: If you’re thinking of buying or selling a home, we’d suggest that you look no further than Nicholls Residential. They are highly professional throughout the process, and every member of staff has a hands on knowledge of your current position within your sale/purchase. For various reasons with three different buyers, we had an elongated sale, but the staff kept us positive and buoyant for the entirety of the process. So a big thank you goes to John, Simon, Ian and Alan, they really couldn’t have been more helpful.
Hi Carolyn,
It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. Thank you for your kind words.
Positive experience: Thank you for your help in enabling me to purchase my home. I appreciated your support and kindness on the day of completion when I had an unexpected two hour wait in your office.
Thank you for your kind words and it was a pleasure to have assisted you. Unfortunately there was a wait for the keys from the seller on the day of move in but we enjoyed your company in the office! Simon
Fantastic experience: I can't thank Ian at Nicholls enough for all his help with our house sale. What started off as a fairly straightforward sale ended up becoming quite complicated (unnecessarily so) for various reasons. Ian went above and beyond to help sort the situation out and kept the buyers on side and keen and after a few more weeks and a change of solicitor all went smoothly. Highly recommend this estate agent!
Thank you so much for your kind review, we look to do as much as we can for our customers and it is lovely to be appreciated. Thank you. ian
Fantastic experience: Our recent property purchase through Nicholls at Chessington was handled professionally and with good communications regarding updates etc. They pushed through the sometimes difficult chain set up and managed to help solve final sticking points to let us move into our new place a few weeks before Christmas. Certainly helped us to get into our new home with their help and business knowledge.
Good Morning Paul, thank you for taking the time to write us a review. It was our pleasure to help you find and move into your new home, wish you will for the furture. Kind Regards Ian
Negative experience: This agency is the worst ever they threatened npt to give my deposit back just because they wanted for me to stay in property they blame you for everything and staff is soo rude please avoid this agency if possible.

Fantastic experience: Great service. Very responsive and helpful. Even though they were acting on behalf of the seller, they extremely helpful in guiding and chasing issues that we had with our solicitors. Really really excellent people.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your review. It has been a pleasure to have been of service to you. We wish you happy times in your new home.
Fantastic experience: We bought a house through Nicholls Res and were impressed by them as they were always very professional, responsive and very friendly to deal with. They kept us updated throughout the whole process and even after completion they provided us with any information we requested. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nicholls Res to others and would definitely consider using them were we to sell in the future. Thanks again.
Thank you for taking the time to post your review, it is very much appreciated. Graham Nicholls
Fantastic experience: Very professional & friendly staff. Great service. We bought through Nicholls & are selling through them & the whole team have been great. Thank you!
We work hard to look after our customers and so pleased that you are pleased! Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
Fantastic experience: Sold my property through Nicholls Residential and I could not fault the service I got from Ian, Simon and John. They went above and beyond to resolve any little issue that cropped up with our sale. Excellent customer service!! Thanks guys!!
Thank Claire for your kind review, glad we could be of service to you.
Fantastic experience: We used Nicholls Residential to both rent and subsequently sell our house in Chessington and were extremely impressed with the service. Though lots of things were really good, the biggest stand-out feature was how determined they were to help us get a tenant and then a buyer. Nicholls really put the effort in to get people through the door to view the property, and then made sure they followed up with them, giving us feedback on a weekly basis. If you have a property to either rent or sell I can’t recommend them enough - I very much felt that Nicholls were on my side and were looking after my interest, which was especially good since we were not living locally at the time. A great service.
Thank you so much for your kind word Matan, It has been a pleasure dealing with you over the years. Kind Regards Simon
Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend the Chessington branch highly enough. Ian, Simon and John were both professional and personable. I really felt they had my best interests at heart. They took time to listen and kept me up to date with events every step of the way. Having dealt in the past with the stereotype pushy estate agent wide boy, it was an absolute pleasure to know that my property was in the hands of honest and trustworthy people. I would go with them again in a heart beat!
Hi Kathleen. Thank you for the great 5 star review. I hope you are now settled in your new home. Thank you for trusting us with your sale. Kind Regards Ian
Fantastic experience: Good service. The whole team are dedicated and readily available to answer any questions and offer advice without pressing. On the whole I would highly recommend this office.
Thank you for your review John. I hope you have settled in to your new home now. Kind Regards Ian
Fantastic experience: Nicholls were extremely helpful and kept me regularly updated on my property purchase. Excellent service.
Thank you for your review. hope your decorating doesn't take to long.
Positive experience: Helpful, attentive and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend using Nicholls to buy or sell property.
We were very happy to help you.
Fantastic experience: Nicholls Residential (Chessington branch) have been fantastic throughout our sale. We have not once had to chase them up on anything, the purchase of our house has been very smooth thanks to their support. From the very beginning of getting a valuation to viewing other properties, we have consistently been greeted with friendly staff. They are professional, understanding and reassuring, we have not once felt pressured and they have been fantastic at keeping us up to date too. We dealt with Ian, John and Simon whom have all been brilliant! Thank you very much!
Kind words such as yours mean so much to our teams, thank you so much for taking the time to place your review.
Fantastic experience: After going through Hell for many with a large chain agent, Nichols Residential not only found me a buyer within a week but did all their best to get the sale through as quickly as possible. Kept me informed at every stage. My only regret was not using NRin the first place. I would definitely use Nichols Residential again if I were to buy or sell another property in the the cover. Highly Recommended
Thank you for your kind words. It was great that we were able to help you with the sale of your property
Fantastic experience: Very professional service and very helpful staff. I would and have already recommended their sevices. 5 star!
Thank you David, Hope you are happy and settled in to your new home.
Fantastic experience: I would like to take to opportunity to say a Big Thank You and appreciation for the years of Excellent Client Service I have experienced with Nicholls Residential. The Team at Nicholls Residential has consistently served me to the highest level and have helped me fully managed my property for over 5 years plus. The team operate as first class communicators no matter who answers the phone, I can trust Nicholls Residential to deal with my concerns or issues efficiently and effectively, which at the end of the day is a fundamental trait when dealing with property matters. Without hesitation I would recommend Nicholls Residential for their professionalism, expertise, care and peace of mind. I didn’t need to worry about my property the hold time it was being fully managed. If you want the best estate agent in the area you only need Nicholls Residential.
And a big thank you to you for your custom over the years. It has always been a pleasure to have been of service to you.
Fantastic experience: In 2010, Simon at Nicholls helped my wife and I rent my recently-deceased mother-in law's house. We couldn't fault the service. When we decided to sell a few years later, the service was again, faultless. Indeed, we always felt that we were being taken care of - with genuine concern and a wish by Nicholls to do the very best. A few years later we asked Nicholls for advice on buy-to-let. Again, we got the impression that we mattered. As it turned out, we got excellent advice. For several years Nicholls managed the flat rental for us without any stress on our part. When we sold recently, it was all handled with no fuss. I took Nicholls' advice on everything, from the price we advertised to all the dealing with the final prospective buyer. Over the years we had a steady income stream and when we sold we had made a very satisfactory profit. I talked to Graham Nicholls recently about the way he runs his business. We agreed that a solid business is one which depends on references for new business and that you just have to make sure you do the very, very best for all your customers. You won't find a better estate agent than Nicholls.
Negative experience: These guys are a bunch of racist krooks. They are trying to get a friend of mine out of his rented apartment as the owner wants to sell the place. He has paid his rent on time for a number of years with them and they are refusing to find him another property even though they have many on their books. They have broken a number of laws regarding his tenancy and are illegally trying to get him out of his home. AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU ARE DESPERATE!
We are deeply upset to be accused of racism, we certainly are not.
I am not sure which property or tenants you refer to. However, we act on our landlords instructions. Regardless of whether a tenant has always paid rent on time, it is still the owners prerogative to sell if they wish. If they do decide to sell notice would be served to the tenants to vacate in accordance with the terms of the tenancy agreement. Unfortunately it does happen for whatever reason that some landlord's decide to sell, in such circumstances where tenants have a good record we always try to assist in anyway we can.
Negative experience: Bad experience. The worst in UK. They proposed a detached house with 2 Garage in internet and after agreement they communicate that only one was available. 4 months with a bathroom out of order and 1.5 year to have a deposit back. Suggestion: be faraway from them!
We are sorry to hear of disappointment. When you viewed this property, we did inform you of the situation re the garage which was before you signed the tenancy agreement so you were aware of this.
The property had three bathrooms and a downstairs wc so there were two in working order while the issue was being looked into.
The deposit was a dispute between yourself and the landlord and we were the middle men trying to negotiate between yourselves. We had no control over that issue.
We do wish you well for the future.
Negative experience: Worst agency ever! The rudest staff ever!! They yell at you and hang up the phone on your face.
I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. I would be grateful If you would contact me so that I can get to the bottom of the matter. I find it hard to believe that any member of staff would of shouted or been rude to you as it is simply not in our nature, but clearly you have a grievance. We pride ourselves on our excellent service and indeed carry out a great deal of business by recommendation due to our good reputation. We take customer feedback very seriously so if you wish to contact me directly at contactus@nichollsresidential .co.uk. so we can resolve your issue. I look forward to hearing from you so that I can assist you in anyway. Unfortunately I can not contact you as we have no record of you registering or contacting us. Graham Nicholls Business Owner.
