Great local knowledge and contacts…

Thanks to local knowledge and contacts Chris was able to help us with a slightly different situation when selling our property. Chris is a very friendly and helpful person, his approach is consultative rather than "salesy". The only reason I did not award 5 stars (I would have given 4.5) was one area around communication, which to be fair Chris resolved very quickly, and 9 times out of 10 it was absolutely spot on, and so I would still recommend Keith Ian to my friends.

Excellent! From from start to completion.

We were buying our house through Keith Ian and they were excellent from start to finish. Our purchase came with quite a few delays but Chris and Ian were sure to keep us informed on latest developments and helped to identify and achieve quick solutions.
Thank you so much for all your help and if we ever move (hopefully not soon?!) we'll be in touch.

Keith Ian an Estate Agents with a difference !!!!!!

My experience with Keith Ian has been the best with any Estate Agent I have used. To put it into perspective I have used Agents in excess of 20 times and my opinion has never been good. I am pleased to say Keith Ian might have even changed that opinion. This time I was selling on behalf of an aged aunt. They kept me fully informed of the process and helped in every respect of the sale, including recommending a reasonable house clearance company.

Above and beyond...

My family and I have recently bought a house in Buntingford through Keith Ian. The staff have been excellent from start to finish, often going above and beyond to make our move as easy for us as possible.

Special mention to Ian, who was instrumental in brokering the deal with our vendor.

Cannot sing their praises enough. Thanks!

Buntingford Rocks!

Ian & Stuart @ Keith Ian Buntingford have been absolute stars in helping us with our recent house-move - what should have been a quick and easy transaction in a short chain ended up being a long, drawn out process with constant hurdles that had to be overcome - Ian & Stuart dealt with the whole process in a calm, professional manner maintaining excellent communication up and down the chain and going out of their way to help get questions answered and issues resolved. Their many years of experience and expertise in their field ensured the successful completion of the process and we are delighted to be moving into our new home in a few weeks time. We highly recommend Keith Ian Ltd Estate Agents as they have been a pleasure to work with - THANK YOU!

Hi Claire, " Buntingford Rocks!" is our favourite review headline to date. Thank you for your kind words, communication is key in any transaction, we feel good, bad or indifferent people just want to know where they stand and then hurdles can be jumped over to reach a successful completion. All the best

Amazing service at a very stressful time
Scott and his team have been absolutely fantastic. Whilst selling our flat they quickly kept us informed of viewings and were considerate of our circumstances during the viewing process. We got feedback on every viewing and were always very honest and realistic, no getting our hopes up. Once we had a buyer Scott moved heaven and earth to push the sale through for our preferred moving date just 10 weeks away. The agent we bought through was not very efficient at responding to us but it didn't matter as Scott was there to help where they failed. I can not thank him and his team enough for going above and beyond for us and would highly recommend them in a heartbeat.

Excellent Letting agents

Very please with this letting agents in Cheshunt. I needed quickly property to move in. Viewing was organised in no time, all references was done less than 3 days. Very professional team.
During my stay at the rented property, I had few issues there and Letting agents was amazing and helpful. As soon i notified them about issue i had, maintenance was send in and all fixed in no time.
Highly recommended 5+

Great service

Chris and his team found a buyer for my mothers home - after being in the property for over 50 years this was a difficult transition for her - however my mum felt very comfortable with Keith Ian's team and they dealt with her with great sensitivity and understanding.

Chris and Ian did a great job in selling our property quickly for the asking price. We had numerous issues with a non-communicative purchaser, but Chris and Ian chased all the various stakeholders repeatedly until we reached a succesful conclusion. I reccommend these guys and would use again.

Keith Ian, Cheshunt are brilliant!

We sold our house through Keith Ian, Cheshunt Branch. Chris was brilliant and got us top price for our property so I couldn’t be happier. The process was very well communicated and we were kept well informed throughout. I would wholeheartedly recommend Keith Ian to everyone.

Thank you for all your help!

Keith Ian (Cheshunt) were professional and helpful throughout our purchase! Especially Chris who was our main contact. He kept us in the loop, and was always available when we needed to speak to him. We couldn't have bought our new house without him! and want to thank him personally for everything he has done to get the sale running smoothly.

Great Local Estate Agent.

We purchased through Keith Ian (Buntingford Office) a few years ago and was so impressed with them that we have just used them again for our sale. Great local company with years of dedicated experience and brilliant customer service.
Lynn and Marie have been fantastic in working on our sale which was not without its issues but they never gave up chasing and working very hard to achieve an exchange of contracts. Always took our calls and kept us updated, they are true professionals. Their boss should definitely give them a pay rise!
Ably managed by Stuart who is a local himself and knows Buntingford and its residents well and so is best placed to offer local advice and knowledge.
Well done all of you.

Thank you for your comments Mr Andersson, and appreciate the recommendation for a pay rise. Think I will wave this under the boss's nose.

Superb for both lettings and sales

Keith Ian managed both the letting and sale of my flat. For both services, they were superb.

On the lettings side, Daniel and Jade were fantastic in their communications and service, finding the right profile of tenant even at short notice.

On the sale side, Luke, Chris and Sam were great, showing an understanding of the market that made me feel very confident in their approach. A completed sale to the very first viewers of the property speaks volumes for their credentials.

I would recommend Keith Ian to anyone for both lettings and sales.

Chris in the Cheshunt branch

Chris in the Cheshunt branch was very approachable and not a typical 'estate agent' was never pushy and always helpful. Always called when he said he would and always had a proper update for us unlike the agents we bought through who were absolutely awful - Chris pretty much got our sale and purchase through as the agents we were buying with had no clue about our transaction, never had an update and would never call us back after leaving countless messages!

Highly recommend Chris and his team

I highly recommend Keith Ian Estate…

I highly recommend Keith Ian Estate Agents, this is the 3rd time I have used them and yet again they have not disappointed me in their professional approach, nothing is too much trouble, always going the extra mile, and always making you feel that all their efforts are focussed just on you alone.

The team in Buntingford which comprises of Stuart, Lynn and Marie have been my Dream Team all the way through the process I couldn't ask for better or more professional people to assist me in my sale.
