From a recent house sale, I would highly recommend Alternative Estates. These are the best agents I have used over the years for numerous sales. The service provided during the viewing process by Conor was fantastic, caring and he was very transparent. Once the sale was agreed until completion the process was smooth with clear communication implemented by Carla.... Read more

After my mum successfully sold her property in Tile Hill via Alternative Estates, we decided to instruct them to sell ours too. Connor and Carla were both informative, knowledgable and easy to contact. Great photos, and advert, house was sold in 5 days and for £10K more than we had originally thought it would be worth before contacting Alternative. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks Connor and Carla.... Read more

From start to finish we have received exceptional service from Alternative Estates. Conor initially came and gave balanced advice, was very friendly but professional and came back and took great photos. He wasted no time getting us on the market and within days we had loads of assisted viewings which resulted in a full market value offer. Conor went above and beyond throughout and we cannot thank him enough. We also dealt with Carla who showed the same friendly, professional manner. We have already recommended Conor to our son and sister in law and can genuinely say that Alternative Estates made the selling of our house a seamless, efficient and stress less experience....

B Chauhan

I can’t recommend Nick at Alternative Estates Sales & Lettings highly enough. From our first conversation, he made what could have been a stressful remortgage process feel surprisingly smooth and straightforward. He took the time to explain every step, answered all my (many) questions with patience, and genuinely had my best interests at heart. What stood out most was his personal touch—he wasn’t just ticking boxes or rushing me through. Nick made sure I felt confident in every decision, and thanks to his knowledge and guidance, I ended up with a great deal that works perfectly for my situation. If you’re looking for any mortgage related services and want someone who’s both professional and personable, Nick’s your guy.... Read more

T Newman

We booked a viewing for a house but were declined because, apparently, there were already offers on it. Fine, fair enough. But here’s the issue — when we made an offer on a house, the seller gave us a number they were happy to accept. We agreed. Then, behind our backs, they continued showing the house to other people and ended up rejecting us in favor of someone else. How is that fair? We’re constantly being told we can’t view properties because there are offers on them, yet sellers can still keep showing and accepting higher offers from others — even after giving us a price they claimed they’d accept. Honestly, keep your properties. We’re not interested anymore... Read more

Nick Green has been absolutely amazing as our mortgage advisor! He found me the best rate going, explained everything thoroughly and talked through any questions I had.

Nick Green and his Team have guided me through the whole process with a professional and human approach. Alternative Estates were already my preferred rental Team, with local knowledge and a team of craftsmen across the range you need to keep a house in good rental condition. It was natural to use their expertise in updating everything to make it both current, practical and safe. The house has never looked so good-and the new tenants are happy, too.... Read more

Alternative Estates have been first rate in the management, subsequent marketing and eventual sale of my property and in providing sage advice and guidance in purchasing new property also. Nick, Carla and Annette are always available to take a call or respond to a query and endeavour to keep you updated every step of the way. What sets the team apart is the apparent willingness to go that little bit further to provide you with what you require, even out of hours on occasion. I've worked with Alternative Estates for the last 10 years and I can't recommend them highly enough, a friendly, professional and capable team who in my opinion, provide a great service to their clients....

My experience was with them a little over month ago now, with my move this has been the first time I have been able to sit down and write a review about them. First of all when we arrived at the property we were a little early however the estate agent turned up and failed to introduce herself to us, just indicated to us to follow her. Once inside she just went straight into small talk about the Grenfall Tower incident, still without introduction to who she was. Once inside the property both my partner and I felt like the property wasn't as indicated as on the website and without the availability advertised. To make matters worse the agent failed to know anything about the property from energy suppliers to rent, she just kept saying call the office as she doesn't deal with rental properties. Which begs the question why was she showing us round and if this is the only agent available why didn't you prepare for the viewing? Turns out later in the day we were seeing other properties with this agent, expecting the same situation we arrived at the property once again early waiting for her. When she arrives we are lead to the building along with two other people, in my view having group viewings is not fair on prospective buyers as we aren't truly given time to look round the property. What made the situation worse was that we were not informed of it being a group viewing, especially as we had already spoken earlier in the day about this viewing. Due to seeing two properties back to back with her, we were rushed round the apartments and once again the agent did not know anything about either the properties once again. We did not go with this agency and I would not recommend them.... Read more

Would highly recommend Alternative Estates. Everyone I have had contact with over the last nine years have been very approachable but very professional at the same time. Mr N Green has been my main point of contact and has acted as a Letting Agent and most recently as the Estate Agent for my property. Any query I may have raised was answered and dealt with quickly and I was always kept informed. The advice and service I have received from this Company has been of the very highest standard....

I thought long and hard before writing this but hopefully it helps someone. They are a nice agency to begin with but please don't be fooled. They were all informal with my partner and I and very helpful till the end of our contract. They would not call us after sending emails with enquiries, they would not fix items that we asked for them to. I understand now that they wanted to claim our deposit. Very unprofessional in my opinion how they conduct things, please learn from our mistake we thought we had a good relationship with them but they aren't to be trusted and will claim all your deposit. I hope this helps someone out there especially if you're a student be careful when you are dealing with Alternative estates.... Read more

Having previously used Alternative a lovely Family run Business for a previous house sale,My sister and had inherited our parents, so with Nick's Advice on valuation we decided to renovate our parents which was a bit old fashioned,Nick advised us with a modest budget we could maximise the value of our parents house and sell it for much improved price so with Nicks help with project managing all the trades to come in and totally transferring it's look which incorporated A new kitchen,bathroom, redecorating the whole house and modernising the property and also landscaping when this was completed we marketed the house and within in a week we had 3 offers above the asking price so we was very happy with the complete service of Nick and the team cannot recommend them highly enough....

Every single person at Alternative estates were an absolute dream to deal with, helpful, professional and most of all offered fantastic advice We used them for the whole service from selling our old house, arranging the viewings at a time suitable to me, dealing with the offers that we had received and offering very good advice, dealing with the mortgage for our new purchase and also everybody including solicitors within the chain I can honestly say the service that we received was I believe way above and beyond what you could normally expect from another estate agent. personal service at its best and great value for money Fortunately we have found our dream home so don't think we would need to use the service again, but if we did there would be no hesitation to go back to alternative We will be back in touch with Nick when it is time to review our mortgage again though :)...

A Ravenhall

I am the Executor of my late sister estate and the job fell to me to sell her house in Drayton Crescent, Coventry. I live in Newbury so I needed an agent who would market and sell the house without being continuously pushed as I was remote. Having sold six houses in my life, I come with experience, mostly not great! By comparison, I thought Alternative Estates were excellent in all respects from advice on pricing, generation of literature, showing people the house, securing a sale, through to progressing the completion. In particular, I liked the way they acted as project managers in progressing all the solicitors in the chain to finally get a completion date, successfully implemented on 18th December last year, just before Christmas. They even chased me. I never had to guess what was going on, they were really good communicators. I know it sounds to good to be true but they worked for me brilliantly. I am most grateful - good job done. ... Read more

I have used Alternative Estates for the last 17 years for buying and selling 2 properties, as well as requiring financial services and mortgages. I have found that the staff working for Alternative Estates were extremely professional, experienced, useful and always very keen to help. Nothing was too much trouble for them and I always felt very cared for as their service was very personal. The advice given was always good and I always felt supported by their team.
