Excellent service through a long and drawn-out sale and purchase, not helped by covid. Donna in particular was so helpful and always at the end of the phone or email to answer questions and trouble shooting.

I have used William Charles for 5 years to let my flat, the service has always been friendly and professional. They have always been happy to help, even in one instance on a bank holiday Monday. Would highly recommend and have only stopped using them because I am not selling the flat. Thanks Carlos and the team!

I recently moved from Hertfordshire to Broadstairs and had the most amazing service from the team at William Charles in Broadstairs. Over the time I spoke with Andrea, Donna and others. Joe was my main contact in the office and went out of his way to answer all my questions and concerns throughout the process. And I have many! Cannot recommend them highly enough and be assured that in choosing William Charles you will be looked after in a personable and professional manner, start to finish.

Really professional, yet warm. They had done the research and knew their market but pleasantly not pushy! Joe and Bob were great.

Excellent customer service from Gary. He had kept me updated throughout the process. It had not been easy due to Covid, but he was supporting me throughout! Cannot praise him enough!

Graham Baxter

Andrea and her team at Broadstairs were very professional and communicative throughout the entire process of selling. They offered a personal service with constant detailed updates after viewings. Their approach is very much client-orientated and not the 'factory farming' style of other agents. They achieved the desired result for me despite having to contend with the restrictions presented by Covid. I would not hesitate in recommending them and their refreshing approach. Thanks Andrea and team!!

I cannot fault the service I have had at William Charles. From the beginning right up until exchange I was always made to feel like I was important and listened to. My calls , texts and emails were always answered and replied to promptly. Andrea was just marvellous and probably needs a medal! Buying and selling a house , as we all know, can be very stressful and Andrea's reassurance was always so welcome. If you are looking for an agent that goes that extra mile to help their clients, then I would highly recommend Willian Charles.
