Everyone at Caldwells have been so supportive and friendly, Jeremy, Julian and all their team. Thank you so much for dealing with the sale of my property in Lymington. I have no hesitation in recommending them.
Mrs WSale, Lymington
Caldwells have been brilliant from start to finish. I feel like I have utilised the expertise of every member of this incredible team. So a big thank you to Julian, Jeremy, Joe and Jess who all had a hand in this sale. I never felt any pressure to put the house on the market and the first hand advice I received before making any decisions was brilliant and really appreciated. House under offer within a week due to the hard work of every member of the team and I felt reassured throughout the selling process. Thoroughly recommend.
Mr SSale
Great service, very helpful and professional. Pulled out all the stops to enable a time pressured purchase to happen.
Mr APurchase
I would recommend Caldwells Estate Agents, they took excellent pictures of our house and an amazing video. They were very professional and the communication was great from start to finish when they sold our house for us.
Mrs CSale
Thank you both for managing the sales of my two properties. Excellent service as always!

Jeremy, thank you so much for all your efforts to ensure our successful purchase. Whilst you were acting for the Vendors, you liaised closely with our selling agents. We think you went above and beyond in your duty as an agent.
Mr & Mrs WPurchase
It’s been a pleasure working with you, Joe, and we genuinely don’t think we have come across an estate agent who has worked so tirelessly to get a deal over the line before now… Your professionalism and patience have now been rewarded with the sale going through.
Mr & Mrs GSale
Dear Joe, I just wanted to express our thanks for the way you managed our purchase. The service from yourself was excellent and far better than any estate agent I have experienced before.
Mr & Mrs WPurchase
A note to thank you and your team for all your hard work in selling our property. I have been impressed with your calm professional demeanor plus the ongoing sound advice and communication throughout the process. I have always felt I made the right choice in deciding to work exclusively with Caldwells.
Mr VSale
I am writing today to extend our thanks and appreciation for the sale of our property conducted by Jeremy, Julian and Sandy. Very many thanks for the care you and your team have taken in looking after us.

Why clients choose Caldwells

We don’t just care about properties, we care about people

A lot of the messages above mention the advice we gave before a house ever went on the market. We have lived and worked in this area all our lives, and we would much rather you take the right decision in your own time than feel hurried into anything. If we think you should wait, we will tell you.

You will also notice that our clients name the people who looked after them: Jeremy, Julian, Joe, Jess and Sandy. We are a small team, so the person who values your home is part of the same team that photographs it, negotiates for it and picks up the phone when you ring. That is why “great from start to finish” keeps appearing in our reviews.

Agreeing a sale is only half the job. We stay closely involved right through to completion, working with solicitors and the agents on the other side to keep everything moving. It is the part of the work nobody sees, and it is the reason so many of the notes above thank us for a sale going through.
