Sales

Selling

We understand that in most instances when selling your property we are actually selling your home and all that it means to you. We also understand that moving can seem complicated, confusing and stressful.

We have very high levels of experience in our teams and it is rare that we come across situations that we have not dealt with successfully on many previous occasions. We really do know what we are doing! We know how to achieve the best results, we deliver the best service that we can, and most importantly we want to look after you and help matters to run as smoothly as possible.

Experience counts. We are proud of the levels of business that we carry out through recommendation. We are often instructed to act as a direct recommendation from previous buyers and sellers. We also have many previous customers and who would be happy to talk to you about the service that they have received from us.

We do not charge any ‘up front’ fees and there are no hidden fees. We charge just one fee that is paid by your Solicitors from the proceeds of your sale once you have moved.

We operate on a ‘no sale, no fee’ basis. There are no charges to remove your property from the market if you change your mind or circumstances change.

Buying

Buying a property is a huge commitment as we all know and the biggest investment many of us make. Getting it right is so important. We can help you in your search, make all arrangements and of course draw on our knowledge and experience to advise you carefully. We will manage your purchase right through to you moving in, making matters as smooth as possible. Make our experience count for you. We can help you in so many ways, not just helping in your search for a new home.

We recommend from a small panel of trusted Solicitors that we have worked with for several years. We can, of course, arrange quotes for you. Choosing the right legal help cannot be left to chance.

We can offer you the services of an Independent Financial Advisor to help organise a great mortgage. The advise is free to all our customers.

We can also help you arrange a survey on a purchase if you wish; we work closely with a very experienced local companies and quotes can be organised for you.

It’s incredible how an agency can become more than just a business partner. It can become a true friend. Entrusting someone with your property is a big and delicate decision, but from the moment we started working with them, they have shown unmatched professionalism, care, and dedication. Their attention to detail and constant support made the entire renting and selling process seamless and stress-free. We are truly grateful and look forward to continuing our relationship as loyal clients. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you’ve done. Alejandra & Syed Mr & Mrs Monroy 23/01/2026

Nicholls Residential provided friendly and professional support throughout my property marketing and sale. Would recommend the team Paul, Josh and Jacqueline for their great local knowledge and track record in supporting me throughout the sale process. Mr P Foley 19/12/2025
Tony has been handling my property in Epsom for many years. His is the only estate agents I trust because of his care, attention and knowledge of the property market. His always goes above and beyond especially when I moved back into my property and asked for his advice on redecorating it and suggesting excellent workmen who didn’t rip me off. Truly a sterling service. Thanks Tony. Miss S B Khan 28/11/2025

Very helpful, nothing was too much trouble.very friendly. Pleasure dealing with you. Mr and Mrs Whetstone 21/11/2025
Great service from Nicholls while purchasing my property. Simon and Alan were extremely helpful and made what can be a stressful situation go smoothly. Mr R Elliot 05/11/2025
Nicholls (Chessington) recently sold two properties for us and I also purchased a property via Nicholls (Ewell). I have to say, through the whole process Nicholls (each and every one of them) were absolutely fabulous and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again whether selling or purchasing a property. They communicated well, keeping us informed of developments promptly and dealing with any of the inevitable hitches you come across when purchasing and selling properties, both effectively and sensitively. They are genuinely nice guys and the business cares about their customers - that’s evident in all they do! Thank you for all your help. Ms F Glassett 03/11/2025
Nicholls Residential did a superb job on the sale of our property. We turned to them after having problems selling through a different estate agent. Nicholls Residential picked up our case, marketed at a sensible price with excellent online presence, secured a good buyer very quickly, and sold it for us within 2 months.. They always responded to matters immediately and worked at weekends too. I just wish I'd gone to them in the first place. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Dr T Hoskins 30/10/2025
We were so pleased we chose Nicholls Residential for the sale of our home after speaking with others in the area. Simon Carney was a very professional, knowledgeable and friendly person to deal with, who went over and above the normal to help us by keeping us updated throughout. We couldn't recommend them any higher to anyone selling their home. Mr G Sense 29/10/2025
I recently completed my house purchase through Nicholls Residential, and I’d like to especially thank Alan for his exceptional support throughout the process. From start to finish, Alan was highly responsive, proactive, and communicative — always keeping me updated at every stage and ensuring that any questions or concerns were addressed promptly. Buying a home can often be a long and arduous journey, but Alan’s professionalism and calm approach made the experience far smoother and less stressful. His ability to coordinate effectively between all parties involved truly stood out. I’m extremely grateful for his help and would strongly recommend Nicholls Residential to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Their service and commitment are second to none. Mr S Singh 28/10/2025
