What can I say other than absolutely fantastic, the little hiccups on the journey due to no fault of anyone just the normal that is expected when renting/buying. Would absolutely recommend, Lara who was dealing with my house was fantastic she was on top of everything quickly and effectively and all the other staff at Hive were also fab when I was calling for updates. As before would highly recommend and will also do to family and friends, and for absolutely certain if ever need an estate agent again will definitely be using Hive Estates. Thanks again Lara and the whole team 😊

We originally bought the property from hive estates so when we came to sell it had no hesitation to go with them. Terri-Leigh and the team were extremely helpful in advising throughout, always answering calls or queries quickly and efficiently - out of all the many estate agents we have ever used we found them to be the best. Friendly, professional and helpful. Thank you!

I’ve been working recently with several of the ladies from Hive Estates - mainly Clara, Rachael and Terri-Leigh - and the experience has been exceptional. I love the fact they use a WhatsApp group for a lot of the communication, it means that updates can be given frequently by all parties and everyone is in the loop. Anyone looking for a efficient and reliable service, look no further than Hive Estates!

We've worked with this letting agent on a number of roofing repairs and maintenance jobs over the years and have always found them professional and easy to deal with. Communication is straightforward, access to properties is arranged efficiently, and any instructions are clear from the outset. The team takes property maintenance seriously and is proactive when issues are reported, helping us get work completed quickly and with minimal disruption to tenants. It's been a positive working relationship throughout, and we'd be happy to recommend them to landlords or contractors looking for a dependable letting agent.

Highly recommend Hive, we bought our first home from them and, five years later, have just sold it with them too. Clara has been really engaged throughout, they are adaptable and quick to respond, and they got us a great sale price for our house. Thanks Clara and everyone at Hive!
