From the very first meeting Stephen was wonderful. Patient, professional, understanding and absolutely on the ball keeping us updated etc. Really knowledgable of the Wimbledon market and simply a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend Stephen to friends and family.

Stephen Ashby kindly agreed to visit to my new home in Wimbledon when I asked him for a valuation. I’d only owned my flat for 16 months, and I had bought it through another estate agent, so I was touched that someone from Hawes & Co agreed to a free valuation. Stephen showed up with a very useful and detailed market appraisal report, and he suggested I give him a guided tour of my two-bedroom flat, balcony and shared garden before he gave me advice on letting and/or selling the property. I was really impressed by his kind and candid manner; he was a good listener, and he quickly tuned into my thoughts about my short- and long-term plans. He didn’t try coaxing me into selling or letting my property through Hawes & Co, but rather encouraged me to get in touch if and when I had any more questions or felt that the time was right for me to leave Wimbledon for family or work purposes. I felt confident in Stephen’s valuation of my flat - it was clear that his tremendous experience in this area enabled him to give a reliable assessment of the value of my property. He gave me some sound advice which I hadn’t considered before. When I first visited the Hawes & Co office to ask for a valuation, and when I later popped into the same office with a thank you card for Stephen, I spoke with other agents who were equally kind and helpful. I felt like there was a good sense of mutual trust and support. Thank you, Hawes & Co!

Stephen Ashby is a great professional who knows the Wimbledon village market extremely well and can be trusted to advise you in a very professional and pragmatic way as you bring a property to market or look for a new home. He is responsive, reliable and keeps things on track as best he can behind the scenes, connecting dots and resolving issues. From our experience, I can thoroughly recommend him and Hawes & Co in Wimbledon.

I recently purchased a property marketed by Hawes & Co and would highly recommend Stephen Ashby and his team. The sale was delayed due to issues with the chain. Stephen was very professional throughout. He was always available and I very much appreciated his transparent approach to help get the sale agreed. They're a great estate agent to work with and I'd highly recommend them.

We recently purchased a property marketed by Hawes. Stephen Ashby and the team were very courteous and professional. I appreciated the calm, patient and transparent approach to help us reach an agreement with the vendor.

Buying a home is often your most significant purchase. You want experience, solid advice, and someone who knows how to shepherd you through one of life’s most stressful experiences. That’s why we commissioned Hawes (Wimbledon Village). Stephen Ashby handled our sale and purchase, and with nearly three decades in the real estate game, he expertly guided us through the entire process. No question was too small or insignificant. And when push came to shove with negotiations — and handling unresponsive surveyors and solicitors — Stephen showed grit and never lost his sense of humour. Hawes summed up? Professional. Efficient. A joy to work with. Five stars.

Stephen was very helpful and transparent throughout, keeping us informed regularly and was always available. A very positive experience.

Huge thanks to Stephen and Malcolm of Hawes & Co who, despite the trials of Covid, helped us to sell the family home in Wimbledon Village earlier this year. Marketing the property during these tough times, their experience, professionalism, local knowledge and realistic advice on price achieved a good sale within three months - and their good humour and positivity kept us going even when things were not looking too hopeful! An outstanding service provided by two great professionals, I would strongly recommend them to anyone planning to buy or sell in the Wimbledon area!

Hawes in Wimbledon Village have recently sold my house for me and in difficult times with Covid etc, it all went through relatively smoothly. With the help of Stephen Ashby and his huge amounts of experience in the property market we overcame various minor issues that always crop up in a sale. I would definitely recommend Hawes in the future to anyone wanting to market their property.

I had a few viewings with Stephen Ashby and he's one of the most knowledgeable, helpful, and professional agents I've met in the UK. I did not purchase the property, but if I were to sell or buy a property I would love to work with Stephen again.

I would highly recommend Hawes & Co, Wimbledon Village. The service by Stephen Ashby and the rest of the team was outstanding. I was a seller, and during the process, they were very responsive - in liaising with all parties involved and always kept me informed. Thank you Stephen.

We recently did our first purchase with Hawes & Co. During which time, Stephen Ashby provided a very professional service. He was very helpful and answered all the questions in a timely fashion. This enabled a pleasantly smooth purchase. We are very grateful for the help Stephen offered!
