• Couldn’t rate Ben Siggins Maidstone high enough!
  I first used them back in 2014/15 to sell a flat and thought so highly of them that we were keen to use them again this time round.
  Last October I instructed them to sell my house but … read more had a total wobble and called them in a panic to take it off the market as my own personal circumstances weren’t in the best place. Matthew was super understanding and reassured me that either way it would be fine and in the end I decided to wait until we had Christmas etc out the way. Thank you Matthew! It’s this kind of personable service that really goes a long way.
  I went on to instruct them again back in February to sell my house and it sold on it’s first day of viewings (thank you James!). Kevin dealt with the offers coming in and kept me fully updated all the way - it was a tense day with a lot of back and forth with the prospective buyers for him but the outcome was worth it! Kevin also was on the receiving end of a lot of my rants re anything and everything along the way and never once made me feel like a nuisance (even though I most definitely was 😂) Thank you Kevin!
  When it came to my onward purchase, the team tried their best to find me something suitable but equally were not pushy at all and were keen to just make sure whichever house I chose was right for myself and my son. In particular I think it was David, James and Jody on the lookout and they were fab!
  From being under offer to completion took just over 6 months in the end (my fault, picked 2 houses which had major issues flagged on the surveys!). Despite the lengthy process and my hiccups, all of the team were so patient and understanding with me and it really meant a lot during the most stressful time of my life!
  Thank you to all at Ben Siggins Maidstone!

• I bought my first house through Ben Siggins in Sep 2017 and had a very positive experience with them.
