“Stephen Lane helped my partner and I our first home. Our solicitors were a nightmare but staff at Stephen Lane helped us so much through the whole process and kept on top of the solicitors whilst we were working full time and unable to chase things during working hours. We have felt the service was extremely professional and friendly - we still wave at the window and say hello! Would highly recommend :)”

“Steve and his team have been in charge of fully managing my rental property for the last few years. He and his team are professional, competent and provide sound advice whenever required. Would highly recommend”

The tenants you have found have been very reliable and respectful of our house and your monthly statements and all communications, have been very clear.”

“Amazing!!!! My nan can't thank you all enough. From the start to the finish, the communication has been perfect. They arranged all of the viewings and open house event. All of the staff especially Stephen and Sam alway happy, polite and always willing to go the extra mile to help.

I couldn't recommend a better estate agent.Thank you all again.”

“I would thoroughly recommend Stephen Lane and his team. We sold our home in lockdown and we felt reassured and safe the whole time. Any problems the team were always quick to help particularly Toni who helped us get over the final hurdle.”

“Thank you for all your help in selling our house! We are now onto our new adventure”

“Where to start for reviewing this excellent Estate Agents? We sold our flat with them last week and I must say that first of all, their customer service has been incredible from start to finish. From the phone calls and communication, to the reassurance they provided us every step of the way.
Stephen himself has been so very helpful, especially during an already turbulent time for Estate Agents and sellers. He was honest, knowledgeable and approachable. Despite us having to initially take it off the market when COVID hit the UK, Stephen and his team simply told us 'when you are ready to sell again, we will be here,' and they were every bit as true to their word as could be and found us our perfect buyer in next to no time at all!
As well as Stephen, I cannot forget of course the rest of his exceptional team, especially Sam and Molly, who were both always very helpful and lovely to talk to, and lastly Toni from the sales progression team. She was professional, fast and supportive throughout the sale and we honestly cannot sing the whole team's praises enough! If you are looking to sell your home, this is the place to go. Fingers crossed we shouldn't have to be selling again for a very long time, but we now wouldn't dream of selling through anyone else.
We have also used Simon of Mortgage Choice alongside Stephen Lane Estate Agents and again, nothing but praise for him!
Thank you Stephen Lane Estate Agents!”

“Stephen Lane Estates looked after us so well from the off. Viewings came in fast, yes we had to wait for the right buyer that wanted our home and they did. Things do not always go smoothly, it didn’t but want counts is the support and patience and communication, Stephen Lane and his team and recommendation on conveyancers all delivered exceptionally.”

“The help/support we got from Toni and Nicole was second to none, their knowledge and commitment to getting us exchanged was amazing, they kept us in the loop and constantly chased solicitors for us whilst reassuring us .Thank you all so much.”

“I am so pleased we chose Stephen Lane Estates to sell our property. Sam, your knowledge of the market and ability to adapt to changing circumstances is really impressive. Most people think selling and buying property is a stressful process but I can honestly say you and the team made our experience stress free. Your accurate valuation achieved a fair sale price for us and the buyer.

In a very busy market you gave us calm, honest, professional advice and you were so helpful throughout the entire process.

On a more personal note, the letter which you passed onto us from the buyer was so touching, as you know this was quite an emotional sale and the letter made me think the right choice has been made. I will of course be replying to him. ”

“‘I was delighted with everyone I dealt with at Stephen Lane. From Stephen coming to do the valuation and launching the house on social media within hours, to Sam dealing with our sale, and Toni who helped us get it over the finishing line. Everyone was professional and hardworking and very kind. Thanks everyone!’”

“"Just a quick email to say thank you for selling our property and offering the 0% fee which we really didn't expect and was a surprise when you mentioned it again, Sarah loved the idea that the hard work she does for the NHS was very much appreciated by yourself. We really appreciate the hard work the team put in to keep the chain together especially after our seller threatened to pull out.

Sam did a brilliant job on selling our property and having him come round, and value it, really sold it to us to use Stephen Lane, he was the most professional and friendliest out of the 3 agents that we had round. He was extremely likeable and liked what we had done to the property. A real asset to Stephen Lanes.

“To all at Stephen Lane, thank you for selling my our property, we got there in the end. It did take time, a few hiccups on the way, but we made it.”

“Friendly and professional”

“Very Professional Service”

“Stephen Lane and his team were great from the first meeting to exchange. Very helpful throughout the whole process and great communications.”

“Stephen Lane personally visited my home, to provide me with a valuation. As a single parent I am warily who enters my house and I was very relaxed in welcoming him in. He was highly professional and extremely knowledgeable and although I had a few other agents around, it was this that set him out above the other agents. I had higher and lower valuations from other agents, but I didn't feel they were as credible as Stephen. I will certainly be using this company when I come to sell and would highly recommend to my friends and family. At the appointment Stephen took the time to really listen to what I wanted and then explained what I needed to do to get the best price for my property. Very Informative and extremely professional.”

“Steve and the team were great from the moment I popped into the office.
They were quick to respond to emails & phone calls and I found them to be refreshingly honest. They made sure the process of selling our home went as smoothly as could be expected.
We found the prices to be extremely competitive and also received great service. We really liked their progress reports that showed how well our property was doing on Rightmove etc.
If I move again, I know who I’ll be using!”

“We have dealt with Stephen Lane Estate Agents for a number of years now, you could not wish to find a more honest, friendly bunch of people than Stephen and his team. Extremely refreshing in the property business and we wholeheartedly recommend recommend them, in our experience the best agent on the Island by far”

I need to recognise especially for Louisa who was key to me, on every step, daily, every moment. she was here to check on me that we are on track.... I'll miss her calls and emails!!!
Louisa - you gave me the strength needed to advance until we finalised the purchase...Thank you ever so much!

We will spread the word & recommend Stephen Lane”

“Thank you for an honest and reliable service”

“Thanks for the completion pack. I would like to say how much we appreciated the way your after sales team handled the conveyancing period. It was very useful to have a go-between liaising with the vendor , but also between the respective solicitors in the chain. It made the process easier and allowed us to chase up other parties to avoid delays. Louisa was always very helpful, providing as much information as she was able to. She always responded very promptly to any enquiry. This made the whole process much easier for us.”

“Hi Guys

Just want to say a huge thank you to you all for being absolutely brilliant, our experience of buying our first home has been so positive and this is down to you all, you are leaps and bounds above what we was expecting after our negative experience with *******, honestly, there is just no comparison between you.

Thank you for finding our first home!

We will be back to you when we decide to sell up and buy something bigger in years to come ”

“Best mortgage adviser out there”

“Any question I or my partner have had have been answered and explained well and advice was available to us when we needed it.”

“Mortgage Choice's knowledge, expertise and customer service is outstanding; I would not hesitate to recommend them”

“To begin with, we originally dealt with Joanne who was very informative when information was passed to her. Then the file was passed to Jay who from the first contact was friendly, very informative and proactive. Since then we have been kept in the loop at all times, he has chased people before we even asked him to and he has kept the whole process moving a smoothly as possible. It really has made our lives so much easier having Jay dealing with it and we would recommend his services again and again. Thank you for all of your hard work Jay- we really do appreciate it all!”

“I would recommend Simon every time. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and I believe he went above and beyond seeing me through to the end of what was a stressful time. Happily it all ended very positively.”

“Superb personal service, would highly recommend Mortgage Choice, thank you very much for taking the stress away!”

“We were looking at using an online agent, but found Stephen lane on Canvey Island better than online as you pay a much reduced fee than normal high street agents , Great service, great photos , always available , still advertise online and in local press”

“It was a very sad decision for me to sell my home after 25 years. Stephen Lane’s sales team were both professional and compassionate at a time when I felt very vulnerable. Their sales progression team worked tirelessly on my behalf as the chain was fraught with problems. They went above and beyond and I was kept well informed of the situation at all times. I am extremely grateful and cannot recommend them highly enough.”

“Stephen Lane and team have been fantastic. We went with their up-front service, which was the same as the online websites, but other estates agents soon contacted us to say Stephen Lanes care will not be great due to paying up front. How wrong they were! We received regular information packs and calls, then when we did have a buyer and we had problems with him, Stephen Lane himself kept doing everything in his power to help us through, even in his spare time. We can not thank you enough for the help you have given us over the last six months x”

“Many thanks for all of your help through this and for your input and for stepping in when needed! We will certainly enjoy our new home and should we ever need an estate agent in the distant future, then you/your company will be the top of our list.
”

“Friendly expertise in helping me to sell my home”

“Simon was fantastic! My wife and I are first time buyers and we were unsure what was even possible for us. After the first meeting we left feeling very positive and within 2 weeks we had been accepted for a mortgage. Simon was very clear in all aspects and very prompt when we needed advice. None of this would have been possible without him. Great Service. Thank you.”

“A great service with a Smile!!!!”

Golden Star!!!”

“I would like to take this opportunity to tell you and Simon that you guys have been awesome and I thank you both so much for assisting me in this stressful but exciting journey”

“Service and communication from Stephen Lane was excellent”

“From the moment we walked into their office, on Canvey, we were greeted with enthusiasm and smiles from the lovely agent Tori. She had, what turns out a nightmare, of a sale but kept a level head throughout and made sure she could do what she could to help. She has worked above and beyond what was expected of her, and is the perfect example of why using a high street estate agent, especially this one, over online and worth so much more. Big Thank You”

“I found the staff and services of Stephen Lane exceptional, especially Tori. Everyone is always polite and courteous. The service provided was fast and efficient I was kept notified every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Stephen Lane to my friends and family 100%.

Thanks again guys you are absolutely amazing ”

“This is just a short note to say thank you for all the help and advice you have given me over the last few months during the sale of my house. It was refreshing to have found an Estate Agent who seemed genuinely interested in getting me the best price, and not just the quickest sale for the fast turnaround time.
I really appreciated your friendly and approachable attitude, together with your professionalism. It was also essential that i was kept up to date with proceedings at all times, and i didn't feel the need to constantly chase you for information. Most of all i was grateful for your support when my first buyer fell through, and the speed with which you found another suitable buyer. All in all i would have no problem recommending you to anyone starting on the rollercoaster of selling or buying a house - They could have no better ally.”

“A fresh approach to house selling. Stephen and Simon are very professional, are always available to answer even the most trivial of questions. Their knowledge of their chosen profession is vast. Very friendly "human beings", not your stereotypical Estate Agent. Made house selling and buying an absolute pleasure, including arranging our mortgage. We instantly recommended them to our best friend who has been equally impressed. Well done Stephen and Simon.”

“My husband and I used Stephen Lane Estates to rent our our flat in Benfleet. They done all the paper work and contracts for us. all the insurances and inventory. Very Professional and friendly service. We would recommend them to all friends and family”

“As first time buyers, not being from the UK originally, we were very unsure about how everything worked. Simon had a lot of patience with us and did an amazing job explaining things to us in a very clear manner without talking down to us. No question was weird or stupid an he took the time to give us advice. He really helped us find the best deal and we would definitely recommend his service.”

“To Stephen, Simon and Team words cannot express our gratitude at finally living in our dream little home. It may have taken a long time but we got there in the end thanks to your determination to help us get it. We cannot recommend your services enough.”

“We used Stephen Lane a while ago now. Our property had been on the market for about 10 months, in Leigh on sea. Wasn’t really getting much feed back from our agents at all.
We asked Stephen to come and have a look, to see what he thought and asked for his honest opinion. We had a chat, I told him our worry about the description that the other agents had given about our house on the write up, which we asked time again to change, but they kept saying “just leave it a little longer! just leave it a little longer!”

Steve listened and agreed to help!

Next day he had a viewing! Following Day an offer! Yes you guessed it SOLD!!!!!!!

We would and we do 100% recommend Stephen Lane Estate Agents!”

“Thank you for all your advice, patience and professionalism you and your team displayed throughout the sale of Urmond Road. We would highly recommend you.”

“Absolutely wonderful service, always quick to respond and very helpful.”

“We searched high and low to find Simon after he had left the last Estate Agents he was working for, He set us up two years ago when we bought our first house and it was that time again to re-mortgage.

We found him through linked-In. He was as helpful as ever and took his time making sure we had the best rate and understood everything fully.

Will continue to use him in future, he is the most friendliest, helpful man and have recommended him to all that are thinking about getting a mortgage, or even advice.”

“Thank you for all your help and support throughout our move into Thisselt Road”

“Thank you Stephen Lane for selling my house so quickly”

“The service we received was excellent from the first day that Stephen set foot onto our property to value it until completion day. We had a few hitches along the way regarding the property we were buying, and we were met with empathy and understanding and great advice from Stephen and the team. If i ever sell the property I'm now in, i would not hesitate to use Stephen Lane Estates as my first choice again. ”

“Excellent, polite and informative service. Was given lots of advice about my opinions and given time to evaluate them so i could make the right choice for me. Will be returning when current deal expires.”
