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!

Stephen provided a very professional service during the sale of my late mothers house in the Village. During what were very testing circumstances he demonstrated plenty of patience, skill and understanding (not to mention humour!) in achieving the sale. Thank you Stephen and Hawes & Co

Stephen really understands the properties he is selling and what the buyers are looking for. Highly recommended

We recently sold our much loved home in the Village, and had the pleasure of working with Stephen Ashby and his colleague Marcus Short from the Broadway Branch. From our first meeting right through to completion Stephen was knowledgeable, professional, friendly and calm. He kept us informed, gave sound advice and responded to my numerous questions with care and attention. Marcus showed our buyers the flat and together they made the entire process run seamlessly. A truly first class service by a team of wonderful people.

Hawes & Co are without doubt the best estate agents in Wimbledon. I’ve used them twice and each time they have been nothing but professional, knowledgable, straight-forward, friendly etc. It’s just a relief to find an Estate Agent you can rely on. Malcolm, John and Stephen are each superb. The last time I used them I dealt with Stephen, a total pleasure. I actually enjoyed receiving his emails at a time when most people might be totally stressed. Stephen has great knowledge and charm. Don’t be deceived by their tiny store on the village high street, it’s fully of decades of knowledge and substance rather than flashy screens and gimmicks.

Stephen Ashby of the Wimbledon Village branch was first-class. Informed, consultative and an excellent communicator. Highly recommended!
