My first experience with Homezone was back in 2008, when I bought a property in Bromley, Then in 2010 I become a Landlord and used the letting service, In 2012, I used them again to sell the property in Bromley, at all times I have found Neil, Matthew and the rest of the Homezone team to be genuinely interested in helping me and advising me on the best way to buy, sell and rent.
They have on numerous occassions gone the extra mile !. They are by far the best estate agents I have ever used and if you are looking to buy, sell or rent in Bromley then look no further, these guys will do their best for you and will always be there to help you.

- Would you use the agent again? Yes
We originally used Homezone in 2008 to try to sell our property. Neil and the staff made every effort but the market was in a dive mode and we eventually removed the property from the market. When we finally decided to put the property back on the market we went straight to Homezone and had viewers in no time at all. The sale was difficult and prolonged due to no fault of Homezone but Denise was there for us at all times and as I was in Cyprus during the whole of the time she was invaluable. I would recommend Homezone to anyone without hesitation. Not only are the efficient but they are NICE.

We put our property on sale with Neil after chatting to a few agents. We were going abroad and Neil managed everything for us, from photos to preparing all the brouchures and other required reports.
He then emailed us a PDF to approve and our flat was on the market. They had a good number of enquiries and viewings. Within about six weeks we had an offer.
From there Denise took over and did a wonderful job of managing all the people and keeping on top of things. The process does take a while in the UK, but we felt we knew what was happening at all times and they were only an email or phone call away.
We'd also recommend Fortress Law in Shortlands. They were very friendly, proactive and responsive.

We were originally in the process of selling our property, however, our prospective buyer pulled out on the point of agreeing exchange. Homezone were very supportive during this difficult time, providing detailed and objective options for us. By letting out our property we were able to continue with our move and appreciate all the help they provided for our first venture into the rental market! Most of all we appreciate how genuine they were in their assistance to enable us to make the right choice for our situation.

I felt compelled to write a review for Homezone due to having had a recent disappointing experience with a well known chain of estate agents. It was good to support a local independent agent when we used Homezone and we weren’t disappointed. Neil and his team have a refreshing approach to estate agency and with their genuine nature and exemplary customer care there is the sense that they really believe in their job, want to help and are personable yet professional.
We chose to sell our house in 2010 with the team at Homezone and were thoroughly impressed with their professional,... (read more)

I have been using Homezone since 2007. I have recently moved my second property to them. They really are excellent. They keep the rent level up to the market value, work hard to find appropriate tenants, make regular inspections (keeping me informed), and ensure that the tenants are looking after the property. Where standards of maintenance have dropped, Homezone have kept on top of the situation by insisting that gardeners and professional cleaners are brought in.
I would recommend Homezone to anyone, and really value their advice and opinion.

Homezone was recommended to me by a work collaegue who had been using their services as a landlord for several years and I have been very impressed with the service I have received so far. They were able to find a suitable tennant very quickly and and all of the arrangements were made with no fuss or problems. A detailed inspection was carried out before the tennants moved in and I receive detailed inspection reports every 3 months.
All of the staff are very friendly and professional and they give me every confidence that my property will continue to be well looked after whilst I am out of the UK. I highly recommend Homezone to anyone letting a property in the Bromely / Beckenham area.Was this review helpful? Yes

This is the second time I've dealt with homezone (once when trying to buy and now when looking for a valuation/potentially selling) and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Helpful, friendly, responsive - even when i was quite clear we may not be looking to sell for a while, it was great to get such helpful, impartial advice. I I'll certainly be back in touch when we do put our house on the market

I went to HomeZone to find a tenant for my vacant property because I knew Jane had moved there having previously worked on my behalf on a couple of occasions at another agency.
The HomeZone service was efficient, transparent and pretty speedy given the state of the market at the time.
Jane's experience and knowledge is apparent in her approach to me as the landlord and to potential tenants, instilling a sense of confidence in the whole process. All the various checks were done with efficiency, the valuation was honest, and communication was prompt and friendly. Back up admin from HomeZone was efficient, honest and transparent.
I was very happy with Jane's work on my behalf, and the overall HomeZone service.Was this review helpful? Yes

I have always found HZ to be efficient, supportive and very knowledgeable of my target market. They keep me well-informed and advise me constructively: Jane and Esther are a breath of fresh air in a world where all too often customer service is poor. I thoroughly recommend HZ to both tenants and landlords and have never regretted taking the leap with them into the property Market.

I would like to thoroughly recomend the services provided by Homezone whom sold my property very quickly providing prompt and helpful advice wll the way through the process. Communications were dealt with professionally, either verbally or by way of emails. I happen to work in the property industry and therefore have dealt with other agents in the Bromley area and I would say you will not get a better service from any other agent in the area.

1. Viewings – the negotiators were coming on-time and provided all the information about apartments (We spend the whole month trying to find the appropriate flat and I know that some of agents can’t answer even the simple questions, such as What is Council Tax?

Homezone helped us sell our old property and also find our new dream home. They were excellent during both processes. Our old property was sold within days which shows that Homezone understands exactly which buyers will be interested in your property - no time wasted. And again, they were excellent showing us only properties which we would consider when it came to us buying a property.
We would recommend anyone to use Homezone for selling/buying their property, their staff are very friendly and helpful and they get the job done efficiently.
Homezone are also sponsoring our local primary school which we are very grateful for.

These guys know their market. I viewed many properties with many agents over a 6 month period and I found Homezone to be friendly, knowledgeable and straight talking. I realised very early on that I could trust what they were telling me, which was not a feeling I had with certain larger agencies. When I finally secured a property through them, Matthew made the process as straightforward as he could, despite the lack of clear communication from my selling agent. He answered calls, returned messages, sought answers and found solutions. I can unhesitatingly recommend this agency, and only wish some other agencies would take a leaf from their book.
And, also unlike other agencies, their service doesn’t end when the sale completes; ask them anything – need a landscaper/decorator/incredibly tall plasterer? Just ask, they’re bound to know.Was this review helpful? Yes

I used homezone to sell my flat and found the customer service to be professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wishing to sell, rent or buy. My flat was slightly out of the immediate area but i found they had great knowledge of not only shortlands but the whole of Bromley and the surrounding areas, which meant a correct valuation (against more local but less friendly / approachable agents) and knowledgeable dealing with buyers.

After living in Shortlands Road for 18 years we decided to move on for personal reasons. When it came to deciding on a local Estate Agent to handle the sale of our much loved family home we spoke to several local agents in the Bromley area and after careful consideration we decided that the approach and attention to detail provided by Homezone Estate Agents in Beckenham Lane out shone the rest of the competition. We subsequently commissioned Homezone to act as our selling agents and we are pleased to say that completion took place last week. We are absolutely confident that we made the right decision in selecting Homezone as during the course of the initial enquiry stage through to completion we found Matthew, Neil, Denise and the rest of the staff extremely professional and helpful with attention to detail second to none. We would have no hesitation in recommending this Estate Agent if anyone in the Bromley area is considering selling a property.

I bought a lovely Victorian terrace in Shortlands through Homezone last year. When I started looking for a house in the area, I went in to seek their advice. Neil was really friendly and took the time to give me a good idea of what was in my price range and what matched my key criteria. Neil and Denise could not have been more professional or helpful throughout the whole selling/buying process They answered all my questions quickly, kept me apprised of all relevant developments and minimised the stress involved, especially when I was desperately seeking a buyer for my own property after the vendors of the house I ended up buying accepted my offer. I only live around the corner from Homezone and still pop in for a chat now and then. A really great local estate agent. I would not hesitate in recommending them to anyone wishing to sell or buy in and around Shortlands.

I bought and sold through Home Zone and I found them to be first class throughout both transactions. The advice Neil gave was always in our best interest rather than making a quick buck for the firm, this is very refreshing given other Estate Agents attitudes. I will be using Home Zone again in the future for any property sales in Bromley.

We have just completed today with a house purchase with Homezone, and we can honestly say that Homezone have been outstanding. When we orginally viewed the house we were unsure at the time of the location etc but Matthew was able to give a very accurate account of the roads, transport and other local details to help us. Subsequently, the house purchase became quite complicated at one point but Matthew was always contactable to help with queries, and on the rare occasions he could not call us back straight away Neil or Denise swiftly chased things for us. We have been impressed by the professionalism and focus of the Homezone team, although we think we have found our final family home and shall not be using their excellant services for a while.

I bought a small terraced house in Bromley via Homezone in 2007. The people I dealt with with were bright, positive and industrious. All the tiresome details were handled without the usual 'high anxiety' and I felt well-represented.
In early 2011 we moved and decided to rent the property rather than sell it. Homezone found us a tenant - during the awful snowy weather - and has represented us professionally and in a friendly and easy-going manner.
Both sides of their business are serviced by good people. Good people make good businesses in my opinion.

I put my flat up for sale with Homezone after having consultations with three estate agents. I felt as they were local to the Shortlands area they knew the realistic sale value rather than suggesting I put it up for something it was never going to achieve. Even though I expected to be in for the long haul as I knew that 1 bedroom flats were moving slowly I got a result within 3 months which was brilliant. The chain proved challenging and I don't think a day went by when I didn't talk to Matthew, Denise or Neil! They were very professional in their approach and helped me keep sane. Thank you!

Homezone is a unique estate agency, run like a true family business with personal and dedicated care and customer service. Homezone have sold two of my properties and each time the partners Neil and Matthew did everything possible to make the sales run as quickly and smoothly as possible. The whole team at Homezone are extremely friendly and helpful and I would recommend that anyone selling a house in the local area should take advantage of their excellent service. Many thanks Alex

Homezone offer an exceptional customer service. Personally taking the time to follow-up on queries and acting with efficiency when a query arises. It has been a pleasure to deal personally with Jane Keenan during our two years at the current property. She always goes above and beyond to ensure the tenants needs are met, personally overseeing any repairs works that may arise from time to time.
Throughly recommend Homezone if you are a tenant looking for a property with the Beckenham and surrounding area.Thank you Homezone - keep up the good work !!!

I am still in the property now and had nothing but great service from Jane and the Homezone team and I would stronlgy reccomend Homezone if you are looking to buy, sell and/or rent a property.

I would like to thank "Homezone" for the excellent customer service they provided.
There are some details which can make the whole process a hell, but Homezone team made it smooth and painless.
1. Viewings – the negotiators were coming on-time and provided all the information about apartments (We spend the whole month trying to find the appropriate flat and I know that some of agents can’t answer even the simple questions, such as What is Council Tax? Or Is it close to a train-station?). On that stage they took all the necessary information from us and did not propose anything what they had in their data (we wanted to have a private parking or garage, so they showed only the appropriate variants)
2. Before to make an offer we asked for a special condition - double glassing. Our negotiator sorted it out within 1 hour. She was very quick with all responds; any new information from Landlords (when and how they are going to put new windows) or changes – she was giving a call.
3. If that needed our negotiator to stay a bit later at work she did.
4. When we arrived to Homezone office to get our keys, an Agreement was already on the table and we also get additional helpful info about the place.
5. We didn’t wait for anything (in the office, or phone calls): all the members of Homezone team were quickly coming back to us to assist/explain.
6. We needed an apartment urgently and explained it from the beginning. So, the whole process took one week only.
When it is so in rush and you feel very worried, everything needs to be this way: relaxed, confident and helpful.
Thanks again to Jane and Esther./&display=popup&link=http://www.allagents.co.uk/review/15786/&redirect_uri=http://www.allagents.co.uk/review/15786/ "Share on your Facebook Wall"){kind=logo}
