Buyers Guide Report

Even before you start thinking about buying a property, you need to know how much you have available to spend. This means speaking with a mortgage adviser and discussing how much you are able to borrow. If you don't have a mortgage adviser we recommend a trusted independent mortgage advisor. Also, remember to include money for renovations, removals and stamp duty in your budget. If your deposit is coming from the sale of another property, one great tip is to also get proof of your outstanding mortgage.

A fantastic company to deal with. Brian and his team were helpful, knowledgeable and very kind, especially as I was nervous about the house sale. They kept me up to date with progress every step of the way and dealt with all the viewings with no fuss. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Mr McGovern was chosen to sell our property after 2 dismal showings by some of Chelmsford's 'Top' agents. Brian was great in terms of communication across the board and always made himself available in a prompt and courteous manner when needed or when advice or an opinion needed to be sought. I will definitely call Brian when we are looking to buy or if we need to sell again. Brian managed the sale on our property speedily and smoothly and reduced any feelings of stress by being 100% straight forward and honest. Thank you Brian. We wish you all the success you deserve for your professionality. 10 out of 10.

I have recently bought a property that was being sold by Brian. With the COVID restrictions and stamp duty holiday cut off the solicitors have been hard to get hold of, but Brian was always contactable and really helpful from start to finish. It was great to have a point of call, and having someone willing to chase on your behalf, would highly recommend Brian McGovern at McGovern & Co if you are looking to sell your property. Rob

Brian was extremely helpful from my initial request to view a property right through to completion. Never had to wait more than 24hrs for a response to an email or phone call. Very professional service, would highly recommend.

Brian was our initial meet at the property and from that moment he's been there for everything we've asked of him. From arranging further visits, organising surveys and checks, all taking the stress away from us. Even after completion Brian was on hand to help in a issue that had arisen. Making us feel we hadn't already been forgotten. Great service, would always recommend, and thank you for the completion gift. Billy and Heather
