Negative experience: After telling my parents their house was worth £75k more than they got for it and over a year without viewings, after reducing the price by above said amount they finally got a buyer. They had done nothing up until that point and still stayed relatively mute whilst the sale went through! Was not impressed at all with their customer services. Would not recommend!
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Whilst we appreciate everyone is entitled to their opinion, we do feel it is important to provide some important factual context.
At our initial meeting we presented three pricing scenarios. Our written recommendation, provided to the sellers following our valuation, was to market the property at £400k, with an expected sale figure of around £375k. We also explained that £425k was an option if the sellers wished to test the market at that level, but that we considered it to be a very optimistic asking price and advised that the marketing strategy would likely need to be reviewed if buyer interest proved limited. The sellers chose to launch at £425k.
Throughout the instruction we remained proactive. We carried out regular marketing reviews, weekly update calls, refreshed photography, drone imagery, performance reporting and ongoing advice as market conditions evolved. Every significant decision was discussed with and agreed by the sellers.
Like many properties across the country during that period, buyer activity slowed considerably ahead of the Q3 2025 Autumn Budget, creating a more challenging market for sellers. Following further discussions with the sellers, we recommended revising the marketing strategy in line with prevailing market conditions. This generated renewed buyer interest, resulted in a successful sale being agreed and ultimately led to the transaction exchanging and completing successfully.
Most importantly, throughout the process our clients consistently expressed that they were happy with the service and support they received, and we were delighted to achieve a successful outcome for them.
We are naturally disappointed that someone who was not our client has been left with a different impression. However, we stand by the professional advice we gave, the service we provided and the successful outcome we achieved. We wish everyone involved all the very best.

Fantastic experience: It has been a pleasure to deal with the team at Millbanks. They showed honesty and professionalism when marketing and negotiating the house that I was interested in. Although my purchase has fallen through due to unexpected works needed at the property, I felt supported throughout.
Fantastic experience: Honestly couldn't fault them. Kept me informed all the way and helped with progressing the purchase with the solicitors.
Fantastic experience: A fabulous service from start to completion. Everyone at Millbanks was friendly and professional and the level of service and care is above and beyond what I expected. Emails are sent out regularly which link to your very own portfolio of properties based on your search criteria. The online media packs for the houses that are on the market are the best I have seen and include not only photos and floorplans, but lots of other info including planning history, info on services at the property, EPC and local infrastructure too. Once my offer had been accepted, I was updated every week with exactly what was going on with my purchase, without having to chase. Overall a great service and I would highly recommend!
Thank you so much for your kind words, we're so glad your buying experience measured up to your expectations and much more, this is exactly what our aims are, and that is to make the whole buying experience as smooth as we can make it.
Fantastic experience: Great staff, all that we dealt with were brilliant, keeping us updated all along the process.
Fantastic experience: I have sold many properties through Millbanks. The service is always excellent, photos and descriptions are very professional and I always receive a friendly and reliable service from all staff members.
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service. Always there to help, great communication. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I recently bought my first home with Millbanks and would like to personally thank Tony, Sharon and Lucy for their help and friendly service throughout the process. Tony was really great to liaise with when I had any questions or queries, and was professional and helpful throughout. I also received a lovely hamper and card from Millbanks when I picked up the keys to my house, which was such a wonderful little touch. Thank you so much Tony, Sharon and Lucy!
Fantastic experience: Millbanks were very professional, supportive and friendly throughout the whole process. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell. Tony took fantastic quality photos and the team kept in regular contact keeping us updated. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: We used Millbanks to achieve a sale on my late Mother’s bungalow. We were not disappointed. The process from start to finish was professional and stress free. Millbanks advice was correct in relation to selling our property at a realistic price and they subsequently got the best deal possible. Communication was excellent and interaction with the staff at Millbanks was always a pleasure. We would use Millbanks again and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant, Respectful, Immaculate team. Special thanks to Tony who kept up with everything, from the very first day, I received, quick, clear answers, and the team accommodated our wishes for a quick sale. I have recommended Millbanks to my friends who are looking to purchase in the area.
Fantastic experience: We recently bought our first home with Millbanks and they were excellent throughout the process. They were able to keeping us up to date with the completion progress, and the move in hamper was a lovely added touch
Fantastic experience: We recently sold our home through Millbanks, the service we received from start to finish was outstanding. We had never sold a property before so wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the moment Tony arrived to value our property we knew we were in safe hands. Our home was marketed so beautifully and a purchaser was quickly found, from there we were kept up to date with the progress through to completion. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience and are so grateful for everything Tony and the team have done for us.
Fantastic experience: I have used Millbanks several times and have always received excellent service. My latest sale was protracted and frustrating at times but I could rely on them to speak to all the parties involved and help to chivvy people along and keep everyone updated.
Fantastic experience: We recently did a cross border move from Glasgow to Hingham. From day 1 when I contacted Tony about a house we had seen online to the day that house was finally ours, Tony was an incredible support. Our Hingham purchase was lengthy due to issues with Land Registry compounded by the snails pace they move at but Tony was with us all the way. I would not hesitate to recommend Tony and his staff at Milbanks. If I was ever to sell then he’d be my first port of call. A thoroughly professional service.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for your prompt action with the fake account. I have lived in Attleborough and owner of Turners OH and have always respected Millbank professionalism. I am so sorry you have been targeted by people who feel it’s fun to impersonate me and share such negative feedback.
Negative experience: Not helpful when asking for advice
"We take all feedback seriously, but we have reason to believe this review has not been left by a genuine customer and we have been reliably informed it is from a fake google account. Our own records show we have had no interaction matching this name or account. If you have a legitimate concern, please contact us directly so we can address it properly. We are committed to resolving genuine customer issues with fairness and transparency."
Fantastic experience: I have used several estate agents in different parts of the country over the years but Millbanks has been by far the best. Tony's knowledge of the area proved invaluable. All the staff have been so helpful, friendly and approachable. Dawn kept me up to date with all the legal information and helped with queries. Sharon contacted me immediately with any updates. I cannot recommend them enough. Brilliant!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Millbanks based on the fantastic service we’ve received. Everyone we’ve spoken to has been a great mix of friendly and professional, and specific thanks to Tony who couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you all, will be recommending you to family and friends.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service from Valuation to Completion ! Every member of the Millbanks team was professional, efficient and always available. Weekly updates were much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend Millbanks to family and friends.
Fantastic experience: * Initial impressions of office and staff excellent * All dealings with Tony constantly demonstrated a commitment to effectively developing the marketing of the property * Constant updates with regular feedback on interest shown on the property * The team provided regular details on the progress of the sale through to completion * Unreservedly recommend Millbanks
Fantastic experience: Although we have now decided to stay put and not sell our house just yet, the service we received from Tony was second to none. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgable and gave the most up to date and useful advice alongside having a lot of patience. He was excellent with communicating with us, with both properties we were interested in and also with our own home. We will certainly use Tony when the time is right for us to sell our home and we would also recommend him to others. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your kind words, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future
Fantastic experience: An amazing experience with Millbanks. Great communication and all of my queries answered super quick! Went above and beyond, thankyou!

Fantastic experience: I sold my property through Millbanks Donna and Dawn kept me updated the whole way through. The process was very smooth and stress free! Would highly recommend and would use again.

Fantastic experience: Everyone at millbank’s went above and beyond to help us with the sale of our late mother’s house, I would recommend them whole heartily
Fantastic experience: All the team at Millbanks have been fantastic! Supported all the way and now can't wait to move and start our new journey. Xxx
Positive experience: Fine for the property I was buying. Overpriced for sole agency selling, especially as they seem to be strong in Attleborough but only there. I went to another agency and sold very quickly, while I'd had very little interest for several months with Millbanks.
Fantastic experience: The Millbanks letting team have been excellent for the past 12 years so we had no hesitation in using the sales team to sell our property. The sales team have also been excellent and professional. They have kept us informed during the whole process and we never had to chase them for updates. Thanks to both teams for their help and excellent service.
Fantastic experience: As a first time buyer, Millbanks provided the necessary support, guidance and patient to take me through the process. I’m more than pleased with their work and kindness. Thanks
Fantastic experience: Millbank were very proactive in finding us a suitable buyer for our house in Attleborough and managed the whole selling process efficiently with good communication throughout
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, and the most compassionate friendly people, I have come across in a long time, would recommend them every time
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service from extremely helpful staff. Used Millbanks a couple of times and wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Always kept up to date on progress.
Fantastic experience: Third time I have used Milbanks and each time Donna and the whole team could never do enough to help. Making the whole process easy, including coming to my work place to sign paperwork and taking meter readings. I would definitely use Milbanks again and would recommend them without hesitation. Mr Ian Clarke
Fantastic experience: Donna and her team at Millbanks worked tirelessly to find us the right buyer and then to ensure all obstacles were overcome to complete our sale-professional super service
Fantastic experience: Me and partner brought our house through Millbank in February this year, we couldn’t have been more grateful for the help they gave us and continued support throughout the process. Being first time buyers we would definitely use them again
Fantastic experience: We've dealt with a really helpful and caring team and we couldn't recommend their services enough! We are forever grateful to Donna, for all of her interest, guidance, updates and care in our house-buying process.
Fantastic experience: Donna is absolutely brilliant and has gone above and beyond to get us through the process of buying our first home. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Millbank have probably been the best agent we have used and I cannot find fault with their services. They have been both pleasant and professional throughout our long sales process. Donna kept us up to date and when she wasn’t in the office, others picked up the ball. There has never been any miscommunication or a situation where another staff member didn’t know about our sale. Would highly recommend the professional service Millbank not only promise but see through to the end.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Millbanks to buy from. Donna kept us well informed of the progress, and nothing was too much trouble. A credit to their profession.
Fantastic experience: Just brought a property and the team have been excellent in communication and helping in anyway possible, Very efficient in getting back to us with any queries, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Millbank handled the sale of my late Mother's property. They were very professional throughout and kept me up to date at all times. We don't live in Attleborough, so everything was done remotely, and it was faultless. I would highly recommend Millbank to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Millbanks have been excellent through the whole process of selling our property, I would particularly like to thank Donna for keeping us up to date every step of the way. Each member of the team has been polite, friendly and helpful and there is always someone to answer the phone when I call.
Fantastic experience: We bought a house through Millbanks 4 years ago, rented it out using their lettings department and have now sold the property through them. All my dealings with them have been extremely pleasing and they are very responsive to emails and phone calls. I have never been let down by them and would highly recommend. Thank you Millbanks.
Negative experience: AVOID AT ALL COSTS An updated review as my two year tenancy with millbanks was pure hell on earth. They bungle repairs, send unbelievably snotty and unhelpful emails and have an inability to do the work that they are seemingly paid to do. Not only was the property completely not suitable for habitation due to damp, mould and leaks but I genuinely believe I have shaved years of my life from the stress of living in a property managed by them. Renters beware.
Fantastic experience: Milbanks were throughly professional during the sale of our house. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Millbanks have been excellent to deal with in regards the purchase of our new property. Would use again
Negative experience: I would strongly advise renters against using Millbank as a letting agency, and even moreso against landlords entrusting their property assets to this team if they intend to see them safely and professionally managed. Property inspections are overly frequent, and can sometimes lean towards the nitpicky - occasionally advising on details about one's property that are simply incorrect. Utility breakdowns in a rental property - indicated as the landlord and agents' responsibility under contract - are essentially treated as the tenants' job to solve. The Millbank letting team will simply give up coordinating repairs at your property if doing so risks becoming hard work for them, and will fob off the responsibility of coordinating said repairs to tenants, contrary to contract. Millbanks seemingly believes it is appropriate for significant harm to both the tenant's home and the landlord's property asset to go unsolved for over six months. If you point out the questionable ethics and legalities of this situation, you are met with gaslighting, misleading statements and genuine bafflement. The team are extremely biased towards landlords over tenants, and demonstrate a shockingly poor appreciation of tenants' legal rights, up to and including outsourcing the landlord's administrative duties through false urgency, harassment and coercion directly towards tenants themselves - all while collecting a handsome fee from the landlord for doing so, and your rent money besides. Only rent from Millbanks if you believe a tenant is legally bound to fully conduct the management duties, reparation coordination and administrative arrangements of a landlord's property, and should pay Millbanks for the joys of doing so, concurrent to them being paid to email commands at you and pass your phone number around to anyone they feel like. We also happen to live close to the Millbank office, and many of the members of staff are rude, dismissive or can be heard making snide remarks about our household when encountered, long before the issues as above materialised - quite surprising conduct, considering we literally pay their business to live here!
Fantastic experience: Good communication and very helpful from start to finish
Fantastic experience: The team at Millbanks have been a pleasure to deal with from valuation, through to sale and regular updates on progression. The best service I could have wished for. Thanks very much.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service and communication at all times. Very friendly and professional team. Would strongly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Millbanks helped us to purchase our property around 5 years ago. Due to their experience and knowledge they were then able to find us a local buyer when we put the property up for sale in 2021. Every one of the team at Millbanks have supported us and with a smile and lots of patience went above and beyond to help through the exchange and completion process.
Fantastic experience: Jade is absolutely amazing. Not even selling through millbanks but hopefully buying through, Jade has been keeping up communication in every aspect, she's always got time for your call and will go above and beyond just to make sure you're happy with everything. Thanks so much Jade & Millbanks
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Millbanks for the sale of your property. During the course of our sale we have spoken to most of the team and have always had great service, nothing is too much trouble and they have certainly eased the stresses and pressures of the process.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service, great communication and I felt that really assisted with getting the purchase through by checking on the progress on both sides and chasing solicitors etc, a vital part of a successful sale. Would highly recommend.
Positive experience: Very professional and friendly team. Always follow things through and keep in contact. When this went wrong and miscommunication happened the issue was sorted out honestly, quickly and professionally. I was very impressed by their response, I would highly recommend Millbanks.
Fantastic experience: Helpful approachable and professional staff who chase up issues in a timely manner.
Fantastic experience: I have used Millbanks over the past 5 years to rent out a house and also sell it. By far the most professional company I have used. Amazingly responsive. Very few companies in this sector demonstrate such a high level of professionalism and care for their customers. Highly recomended.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Millbanks both for renting and selling. In my long association with them they have gone above and beyond the call of duty so many times. The house was not easy to rent or sell, but they were always so helpful, friendly and professional. I shall miss my contact with them, and can't recommend them highly enough.
Fantastic experience: We bought our property through millbanks earlier in the year and received excellent professional and very prompt service. After some renovation work we decided to have the property valued again and Martin was more than happy to do so and came out the next day! Will definitely return to Millbanks whenever we need any further help with valuations or to sell. What a fantastic team!
Positive experience: Friendly staff and quick response to questions

The team have been there for us day and night literally and without this team, we would not got through the Truma we have had, thank you for everything.

Thank you Martin, Donna, Jade and Beth, once again, all assets to Millbank.
