Temme English Reviews 

Do NOT recommend!! Go to a decent one not this shocking two men show

We did not employ Temme English but they were the estate agents of the people we were buying from, and it was a very frustrating and slow experience as the person below them in the chain.

We agreed a price to buy the property in January and then had to wait as we lost two buyers, had to extend our mortgage and finally go to the very last day, when the whole thing was going to collapse, before we could finally move, which caused a lot of stress and anxiety. We also found it very difficult to get a clear understanding of why things were taking so long, despite remaining in constant contact.

In the final month, when it was at risk of falling through, Temme English started to be more transparent and push to get things done, which made us wonder why that couldn’t have happened before.

This is not necessarily a reflection of the person we worked with in the Colchester branch but they appeared to not have the resources to get things over the line in a timely manner, especially compared to our estate agents who sold our property twice in a matter of weeks and ensured things moved quickly.

The whole team at the Basildon branch have been amazing selling our house. We previously had it on with Douglas Allen and couldn’t wait for our contract to end with them! As soon as Temme English took it on and advertised it it was sold within days. Our sale only took 9 weeks to complete from start to finish. The communication and keeping us well in the loop was absolutely paramount for my “just get it done” attitude and they certainly never failed. Instant response texts via WhatsApp was amazing and kept us feeling totally confident in their customer service care and ability to sell our property promptly and professionally and keep things moving smoothly. I wouldn’t want to name names as I feel the whole team plays an important part each and they certainly focus on getting your house sold, which is all we wanted.
Would I use them again? There wouldn’t be any hesitation and I wouldn’t waste my time comparing to others as they’re the BEST. It’s been a breeze and a few laughs along the way which always helps. Thank you Team Louise your’ve done yourselves proud x

We have used Temme English to sell a property and cannot fault them all very clear and professional been dealing mostly with Harriet who has been amazing so thorough and professional very friendly we have had a couple of buyers fall through but nothing faised them just put it back on the market and finally completed today
Big thanks to Harriet

A huge thank you to everyone at Temme English Wickford for being there every step of the way and keeping us updated throughout. We really appreciate all your support.

They deserve 0 starts , but i can not choose .
One thing they advert but the reality is totally different .
"Thanks" to Louise i had to wait another 3 weeks on top to move and now all my Christmas plans are ruined .
Even thought was communicated through the email that will not have any delays , still got a huge delay .

⭐ 5-Star Review – Temme English (Basildon)
I’ve had an absolutely brilliant experience selling my house with Temme English. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally, efficiently, and with genuine care.
Things moved incredibly fast — less than two months from the memorandum of sale to completion, which I honestly didn’t think was possible. Both my buyer and I used the solicitors recommended by Temme English, and they were excellent too, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
From the very first valuation meeting, Louise stood out from other agents I’d met — honest, realistic and professional, with none of the sales gimmicks. Tyler and Harry, who handled the viewings, were young but genuinely impressive: polite, attentive, and they understood that listening is key. Harriet kept everything organised behind the scenes, and Dean, the branch manager, clearly runs a fantastic team and network of professionals.
I’ve never experienced this level of service from an estate agent before. I can’t recommend Temme English highly enough — they truly exceeded my expectations. ⭐

Harry has been amazing in helping us get the property through. Keep it up!!

This is the fourth time I've used Temme. I wouldn't use anyone else. They are highly professional yet very approachable and always courteous. This sale was very protracted and they kept me informed throughout and chased matters up continually. I highly recommend them

Great manners. Very professional behaviour from the agent. The ladies on the phones had a great attitude. When i arrived at the property for viewing Dean was very informative about he property, the surrounding areas, as a buyer I felt comfortable ringing and asking questions and always got a great response great service and will be using again and recommending Dean at Temme English will be a pleasure great service from all at the Basildon Branch

No manners. The first time I liked the house, but rather left because of unprofessional behaviour of the agent. Let's start with the initial phone call. The lady on the phone had an attitude, but I thought okay everyone can have a bad day, we are in for the property not the agent. Then, when we arrived, the agent didn't even say hi, smiled, said anything about the house. It was so painfully uncomfortable, we just left. It's okay for me as a buyer, there are plenty of properties on the market. But if you're a seller, you might have better luck leaving the door open, putting your number on it and hoping a passerby falls in love with the place — at least it won’t be actively putting buyers off.

No issues from day one till i received keys 🔑 .big thanks to all Basildon branch,specially Louise!!!thank you a lot from all our family!!i hope i will see you in a few years !!

My husband & I are incredibly impressed with the Property Management Service provided by Temme English for our 2 rental properties in Maldon since Sept 2023. The team provide excellent support and advice, as well as regular detailed inspections and updates. It's a weight off of our minds to have experienced and professional people deal with what can often be incredibly challenging situations with tenants that aren't keeping to the tenancy agreement. We will definitely ask Temme English to manage the third property we are due to purchase.

We worked with Temme English Basildon branch for the sale of our flat, Dean was so professional and knowledgeable and placed us in the contact with solicitors and surveyors, he has kept us up to date with our sale which was time in a fast timely manner. Would 100% recommend and work with Dean and Temme English again. Thank you

Basildon branch salesman and director, lied, rude, hangs phone up, late to viewing that they forgot to book, their vendor agreed price on Monday sent all detail etc over then tells me Tuesday they went with someone else after ageeeing my offer, then I went to asking price and was still turned down and estate agent said vendor don’t want to negotiate with me for no reason, we worked out sobering was u tears and now it’s still on market and been put up 10k more don’t use this company even the director isn’t honest or professional I even went to tge vendors house and they was lovely and they said they don’t like the estate agents behaviour either, this shouldn’t be allowed. I also paid my solicitor £1000 because my offer was accepted and Iv not had that refunded because tge estate agents are up to something that’s not honest Shame I will never get an honest explanation Iv been stressed in an appalling manner for no reason at all just wanted to warn everyone so you don’t have to go through what myself and family have I have passed the way I have been badly treated to my solicitor to see what she can do legally as this needs to go further with this estate agents I won’t be treated in that way and they think it’s ok and I wouldn’t want anyone else to be treated the way I was

Just completed on my house today and it was a relief to deal with Mitchell from the Colchester branch of Temme English. He made everything a positive experience, always on call and so helpful. He went above and beyond for me as the sale hit a few bumps along the road. I felt that the marketing and feedback was helpful and they were open to discussing any questions or views I had. Would definitely recommend this firm and if you are lucky enough to get Mitchell even better.

Don't know why the negative reviews are on here , we was with another well known estate agent for 15 weeks and they done nothing really for us only 3 or 4 viewers in that time , would not let us end the contract etc , so at the end of the contract we went with Temme English of Basildon 2 weeks to the day they took our house onto their books they had sold it for us , they was phoning us to keep us updated with feed backs etc Dean & louise are brilliant , hav'nt had much dealing with anyone else really , our sale is going through nicely & they are still keeping us informed every step of the way , cannot thank them enough they are always friendly & helpful nothing is to much trouble even when i ask what i class as a silly question they always seem to put my mind at ease , WELL DONE TEMME ENGLISH 100 % recommend this estate agent .

I would never use this company again they were fine in the beginning but everything soon went down hill. One guy in office is without a doubt the rudest person I’ve even spoken.
Poor service

Had good upfront service and good timely feedback on the viewings. I felt they all worked hard to help us sell. I did feel they could have done much better on the completion date as they had keys but didn’t know. This resulted in a very stressful search and false information. They weren’t very helpful at the end unfortunately so bit disappointing

Dean and the team at the Basildon Branch were a delight to deal with in the sale of my late father’s property. We initially, and so wrongly, went with PB and after 6 months we had only had 6 viewings. Once we decided to go local and appointed Temme English we had a similar number of viewings within a week and a successful good offer. Thank you all at Basildon.
