Marc Overton has provided excellent customer service throughout the buying experience. Always kept me informed and up to date with any news as well as arranging viewings with 30 mins notice. Highly recommend, very professional.

Treated appalling by this branch. Verbally said offer accepted over phone for house they were selling, confirmed we had accepted an offer below our asking price to a cash buyer all so we wouldn't lose the house, all agreed to go ahead over phone and took one evening to sort a solicitor only to be told the next day that an offer from another buying had been accepted!! Kept waiting hours at a time, trying to get more information, if we could put in a higher bid. Not just letting us down but our buyer who also thought could more in time for Christmas. Unbelievable, disgusting way to treat people.

There have been a number of examples of lack of communication with the Lincoln branch. This is the only estate agent that doesn't communicate with the buyer or with their internal staff professionally. If you are selling a property I would urge you not to go with Pygott and Crone - Lincoln.

DO NOT recommend it at all. all they care about is money , they charge you 300 pounds if you want to cancel the sale . The agent for valuation is rude also ETC.... Stuff is very rude ,arrogant and looking at you like they are better than you. Manager is the rudest . Then they will ask you proof of funds before even showing the house ETC..... They charge you expensive
STAY AWAY FROM THIS AGENCY , LINCOLN

Although I am a competing estate agent in Lincoln it wouldn't be fair or honest of me not to leave a review. We bought a house from Pygots and between us we got it through in 4 weeks. Communication was good and we had no issues. We just got our heads down and got the transaction done. Some of the Pygots team have bought through us previous too and although they have never left us a review I think it was a positive experience. Thankyou

Excellent and professional service from start to finish. We went under offer very quick (twice, due to one buyer pulling out) and the whole process was smooth and very well organised. I think we achieved a very fair price for both us and the buyers, Highly recommend Pygott & Crone.
