Customer Testimonials

Excellent Service
Sarah Bennett has been managing a commercial property for my wife and myself in recent years. She is very professional and proactive and is delightful to deal with. She has sorted out all our problems and through her perseverance has recently arranged a lease surrender and a letting to a new tenant which is much more beneficial for us. I highly recommend her.
Landlord
Five stars!
We have recently completed on the sale of a commercial property and found the whole process a smooth one with the help of Sam Oliver our instructed agent. I would recommend his services. He was polite, prompt and professional.

6 out of 5 stars!! Look no further than this agent
I have been a landlord with Elwell Taylor since they started their business over 20 years ago and I can honestly say that I have never had reason to complain about any of their work or indeed any of their staff, either past or present. Currently I deal mostly with Joanne and Helen and I feel the company should consider themselves fortunate to have two extremely professional, talented and personable staff. They both go that extra mile to ensure that I am kept up to date with everything relating to my property, one of the most impressive attributes they possess is that they treat any quote for repair/maintenance like it’s there own home, and will question why a quote may be so high and not let a company try to inflate prices just because it’s a rental property, they will never take the easy route and will strive for best value for money - Always! May I commend Elwell Taylor to any prospective landlords, you will not be disappointed and will appreciate the personal touch that they provide. I cannot recommend them highly enough, 6 out of 5 stars!!
Dave (Landlord)
As good as it gets!
Elwell Taylor took over our property from our previous landlord. I can honestly say, they have been nothing short of amazing. Any problems they have sorted almost immediately, never refusing anything I have asked. Very professional, very thorough, and they do everything to the highest standards. We could not be happier or more content with this company and cannot recommend them enough. 5 stars al the way.

Trust and Confidence
I have dealt with Adam, Nick, Matt and Sam in the last two years in a very difficult situation - so you could say that I have had reasonable oversight of the Elwell Taylor experience. I cannot fault them or the integrity of the company. Nick particularly had his work cut out and did everything he said he would, on time and to a high standard. I trusted him and he did not let me down. If I had a problem he responded quickly and nothing was too much trouble for him. Sam and Matt were also true to their word and I feel that they have my best interests at heart. As I live quite a distance away most of our dealings have been over email or the phone but I still feel that I have a personal relationship with them which is (to me) important. Whilst I only liaised with Adam briefly. I found his approach genuine and he was quick to respond. I have had a bit of a rollercoaster situation and in a time where I could have been taken advantage of, I found the approach that Elwell Taylor was honest and reliable which is a rare find indeed. Many thanks

Excellent
Renting since 2017 and have had no problems, one issue was dealt with professionally and in a timely manner. Communication is great, always at hand and happy to listen and help with any concerns. Highly recommend for anyone looking to purchase or rent.

Rental services
I am beyond impressed with all the team at Ellwell Taylor. From the first phone call to request viewing for this property was with Joanne Gilbey she was extremely sufficient and it was a pleasant experience and this was not the case when contacting some other agencies. I also put a request in for a change of dishwasher and this has been dealt with quickly and with no stress- again I would like to highlight Joanne Gilbey and thank her for her effective communication skills as I have ADHD and organisation is not my strong point.
Hazel C (Tenant)
Thank you for all the hard work
We had a very difficult sale due to circumstances beyond our control. The staff at Elwells continued to provide a very professional service on our behalf and managed to ease all our problems. It appeared at times that everyone was trying to delay the procedure. Elwells kept us informed at all times of the progress that was being made, they kept chasing and we managed to get across the line. Well done

I have rented my property for over 2 years now and the staff at Elwell Taylor have gone over and above in their help and customer service. Helen, Dee, Peter and Joanne are lovely people and a pleasure to deal with. I would recommend Elwell Taylor to any of my friends/contacts. Laura
Laura (Tenant)
Cannot fault them
I was recommended to use Elwell Taylor some 5 years ago to arrange the rental and manage my domestic property. The services and attention given by Helen Hancy, Peter Lynn and in fact all of the Chelmsford staff are exemplary. They keep me and my tenant informed of their periodical checks, plus when any work or annual checks / certificates are required, they promptly and efficiently arrange these at reasonable cost. I cannot fault them with the service that they have so far provided.
Terry M (Landlord)
Great service from Elwell Taylor
I have employed Elwell Taylor for the past 3 & 1/2 years to manage my domestic property in Chelmsford. I have found the service from this company, and in particular from Helen Hancy, to be exemplary on all accounts. They have chosen great tenants for me (4 times now) , have arranged to have any work required done quickly and efficiently at reasonable costs, and have always responded rapidly to any queries I have had. When I was looking for a company to manage my property as a new landlord I was told by others that "there are no good property management companies". Wrong! I wholeheartedly recommend them.
