Five things first timer buyers need to do to get on the property ladder
When you’re a first-time buyer, some proper preparation and planning can help. Here are five things first-time buyers need to do when buying their first home…
"I cannot rate CJ Hole estate agents in Burnham-On-Sea highly enough! A fantastic team with wonderful communication and my house sale has now exchanged and they made the process as simple and clear as possible, answering all of my questions along the way and offering full support and keeping me informed from start to finish - huge thanks to Matt, Tom and Helen especially - I will be visiting with a thank you box of chocolates soon - I would not hesitate to use CJ Hole in the future - 5 stars all the way - thanks guys (and Helen!) - brilliant service all around."
"We have just brought our first home through C J Hole and Tom has been absolutely incredible! From day one he has bent over backwards to help us as well as ensuring we are involved and understood each step of the process. We would 100% recommend Tom and the service that he provides and because we've had such an easy ride of buying, we will certainly be back to use his services again some day if needed. Tom made us feel totally at ease and gave us regular updates throughout the whole process which really took the pressure off of such a stressful process. Thank you Tom!"
"Matt at C J Hole made our experience of buying an apartment in Burnham-on-Sea a very smooth and stress free one. He was extremely helpful and did everything possible to ensure a speedy exchange of contracts. Thanks very much Matt, you were very professional and efficient. Sally"
"Excellent help from the whole team. I sold and moved within 4 months! Special thanks to Tom, Ed and Matt. If I ever move again (lol) I will use you. Thank you."
"I would recommend C J Hole as an Estate Agent of choice above the others as they were helpful in so many ways. They talked through all the options, helped negotiate the sale of my property and when I found a property they negotiated on my behalf. Absolutely brilliant, took away a lot of the stress and strains of moving. If I moved again would use them."
"Words cannot express my gratitude to the whole team at CJ Hole, they really 'held my hand' all the way through the sale of my house. From the moment I met Edward Creswick I was very impressed and reassured with his professionalism, market knowledge, transparency and honesty. I had no doubt that my house would sell without any problems. Previously I had commissioned another estate agent and not only was I badly let down by their letting department but was told that I had to reduce the asking price by £50,000!! and/or consider selling it at an auction. So when CJ Hole sold my house at the asking price within four months I was elated to say the least!! A massive thank you to the whole team: Helen, Tom, Matthew and of course Edward, they totally excelled and even post sale they have continued to be extremely helpful. I am recommending them without reservations to my friends and family. So 5 stars?!! it's not enough to deservedly rate them, I will give them the entire Galaxy!!! My best wishes for your continued success!! Merlyn St Martin"
"Agents wit the patience of Job when faced with frustrating circumstances. Excellent communication skills and a reassuring manner. My property was a complicated sale but eventually completed to everyone’s satisfaction."
"As first time buyers we didn’t really know where to start. We had Tom from start to finish and brilliant support from the entire team. The detail in which they went to support us and keep us informed throughout the process of buying our home was priceless. I cannot recommend them enough. Fantastic service. Lovely people and professional. I wish I could rate them higher than the 5 stars. Molly, Martin & Anthony."
"Excellent service. Always helpful, Tom was very friendly and responsive. Would use them again without a doubt.Nothing was too much trouble with them."
"Recently sold my house and bought a new home through this branch. Right from the start Matt and Tom were friendly, efficient and professional. ...the whole staff ensured that the process went as smoothly as possible with an excellent result."
"I have used CJ Hole in the past, both to sell a property and to purchase. Without Matt and Tom's help and assistance I am sure the current chain I was in would have collapsed. The entire team are very experienced and most professional too. Living and working in Burnham-on-Sea gives them the edge as they know every inch of the area so any questions can be dealt with promptly. Experienced, friendly and professional means I can highly recommend them."
"Extremely helpful , helped sell our house and find us our new home at the same time!!! Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff here!!! Would highly recommend!!"
