Nick and Deborah Kerr May 26, 2023 at 9:17 am on Buying agentWe have had what can be the most challenging experience of house hunting and buying made so much easier by using Henry as our buying agent. Describing Henry and his team as the most excellent buying agents only tells part of the story. They help in ALL areas of the process, willingly and brilliantly. They manage to solve seemingly unsolvable issues with ease, reducing the stresses along the way. They’re always available to listen and help for as long as the whole process takes. In short, without them I’m not sure our house purchase would have been completed. We will most definitely use Henry for our next search!
Amanda A May 23, 2023 at 10:41 am on Buying agentNever has buying a house been so enjoyable and stress free. Katherine organises everything and you just turn up and then she and Henry really come into their own once your offer is accepted by recommending solicitors, surveyors and experts required and assisting until exchange. Job done. Thank you. Amanda
Simon Welford May 12, 2023 at 11:46 am on Buying agentKatharine & Henry are a calm, clear and proactive team, that know their stuff. It was great working with you and I look forward to doing so again soon.
Harrison April 25, 2023 at 6:05 pm on Buying agentI started being in contact with Katharine just over 6 weeks ago with a property purchase and she has just been excellent. communication has been great and nothing has ever been an issue. Being an Estate Agent this is the kind of person we love working with and she has been helpful through this process. I look forward to working with her again very soon.
Matthew Milroy April 9, 2023 at 8:00 am on Buying agentRichard and Henry recently acted for us in our search in a new area to us (Hertfordshire). To say the timing was nerve wracking as a buyer (Q1 '23) was an understatement. We were very appreciative to have unbiased and balanced advice to help us make the decision to proceed and we're delighted with the our new house. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them.
Max Curtis - Aston Chase April 6, 2023 at 5:46 pm on Buying agentI have worked with numerous search agents over the years and Henry and his team top the list. We have just been involved in a highly complex transaction and being frank had Henry not have been involved it would not have happened. He delivered value to his client, who without his guidance would not have been able to navigate the nuisances of the sale!
S & D April 3, 2023 at 9:35 pm on Buying agentWe had been looking to buy a family home for over a year and had been through a couple of unsuccessful offers before we decided to approach a buying agent. We met with a few buying agents and Henry was the best fit for us. We were reassured by his experience and his approach to the process (down to earth, honest and a sense of humour). Deciding to work with Henry was the best decision we made; he is the person to have in your corner when you are making the biggest financial commitment of your life. We finally completed on our family home in the end of March, almost a full year since engaging Henry! Henry guided us away from properties we thought were good for us (perhaps our patience wearing thin), and helped us secure our amazing family home (within our budget), through a very messy and protracted sale process. He kept us (and everyone else from the selling agent, lawyers, insurance broker and mortgage broker), on track and focused. Buying a house is stressful, but we didn’t feel it as much with Henry in our corner. Thank you very much Henry for everything, and huge thanks also to Katharine (and Rosie in the early days), for the many viewings you did with us. We are delighted with our new home!
Steve & Christine March 20, 2023 at 8:34 am on Buying agentWe engaged Henry on the advice of two local estate agents. We had lived in the area for 16 years and we were end of chain, so in theory we should have been able to find our dream home easily. However, we had very specific requirements: 10+ acres, 5+ beds, privacy, commercial potential, and close enough to avoid disrupting schooling. Henry chaperoned us through many false dawns to find our dream home - in most cases, houses that hadn’t yet come to market. He challenged our criteria to make sure he understood our motivations, and set up viewings to help us clarify our wants and needs. Then, at last, we found our dream home - or rather a house that we couldn’t have imagined in our wildest dreams. Needless to say we couldn’t afford it but Henry negotiated it into our ball park and brokered a deal. On to the next challenge - we had to exchange in 1 month otherwise the house moved back out of reach. Once the starting gun fired Henry really came into his own, effortlessly steering us through conveyancing to get to exchange in record time. He connected us with a great team of experts and smoothed the process, directing the team and working several steps ahead. We have no doubt that we would not have found our forever home without Henry. He is a magician!
fahim March 8, 2023 at 11:33 am on Pocket AgentWe have just completed on our house and I cannot recommend this service highly enough. Making a large value purchase is a scary proposition and Henry was with us every step of the way. From deciding which properties we should look at, how to talk to the agents, negotiating and closing. Every time panic would set in Henry was there to guide us and keep things calm. As a buyer the odds are stacked against you and unless you are a buying professional you need to have someone on your side. Plus he has an excellent network of surveyors etc who we used as well. Just sign up - you won’t regret it. Thank you Henry !
Jessica & Olivier January 20, 2023 at 9:17 pm on Buying agentWe had a great experience with Henry and would definitely recommend his services to others. If it wasn’t for his handling of the process and negotiation skills, I do not think we would have been the successful purchaser of what is now our lovely new home and that is invaluable.
James Diaper January 9, 2023 at 1:14 pm on Buying agentHenry is fine communicator and one of the most user friendly individuals I have had the pleasure to work with in this business. As a selling agent there could be a slight doubt of how much a buying agent can add to the process.. but with Henry I can see what is added and this resulted in a happy client on both sides.
D. Mort December 27, 2022 at 4:49 pm on Buying agentHenry acted as our buying agent for our new family home in London when we returned from overseas. From our first engagement Henry provided a comprehensive and professional service from initial area selection through to the final completion of our purchase. His deep knowledge of the London market, his established relationships with many high quality sellers agents and his extensive experience of the process was invaluable as we returned to the country. Throughout this process Henry provided great insight, guidance and support as we assessed various properties and considerations. He did so with patience, humility and humor to make the whole process quite enjoyable. As we approached exchange, his network of trusted inspectors, solicitors and other advisors also proved invaluable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Henry and his team to others looking and we look forward to working with him again in the future.
Angela Coakley December 13, 2022 at 4:15 pm on Buying agentJust a quick note to say that Richard Pryor was Brilliant, enthusiastic and so helpful. Great pleasure working with him and so glad that everyone ended up moving into their dream home! (Didn't doubt it for one minute!!) Thanks for all your help Richard!
Adrian Roberts November 29, 2022 at 9:45 pm on Buying agentHaving not moved house for 30 years, Richard's ready support and skilled negotiation strategy ensured that we got the house we wanted at the first attempt for the right price. Richard helped us all through the process from the start to the collection of the keys, even ensuring that our estate agent didn't get ahead of himself.
Owain & Laura Thomas November 29, 2022 at 8:50 am on Buying agentHire them. There is no doubt in our mind that we would not be buying our dream house without their support. Their advice is excellent, and Richard’s dedication to getting the deal over the line was unfaltering. He went above and beyond to ensure that our interests were protected including never hesitating to be somewhere in person to get a job done. Having a formidable team like this on our side gave us such peace of mind, and was worth every penny.
Natalya Fox November 20, 2022 at 9:22 pm on Buying agentWe used the buying service on the recommendation of friends, & have successfully purchased our next home in South West London. It was useful to get an insight into the market from the agent perspective & not have to worry about or deal directly with estate agents throughout the majority of the process. It was also very useful to have someone able to advise on some of the finer details & chase any third parties on a regular basis to keep the purchase on track as we had a tight time schedule towards the end. I would certainly recommend the service if you are looking for advice & particularly help from a practical perspective & are short of time yourself to coordinate between all the parties involved in a house sale/purchase.
Isabel November 18, 2022 at 12:46 pm on House Doctor 👨🏻⚕️Henry has been a mine of information and sound advice and is very entertaining to boot. I am so very grateful to have had access to his Surgery, what a great and generous service. Thank you!

Pierre&Julie November 8, 2022 at 7:07 am on Buying agentWe have signed up for the bespoke buying service. After having recently moved to the UK, we found ourselves in the hottest market having no knowledge of property buying in the UK. We had the pleasure to work closely with Richard on our home purchase in the tricky Oxford market. Richard was fantastic during the entire process of buying our home. First, he has spent time on clearly understanding our personal and financial situation, our needs and desires, making the search process more focussed and targeted. We felt very comfortable opening up to Richard on more personal topics. During the search process, we have had extensive discussion on the houses he has identified for us and which we have viewed together. He will take excessive emotion out of this stage of the process by asking the right questions keeping you laser focussed on the initial plan. Once we have decided to make offers, the value of having Richard and the Pryor family by our side was immense. Richard helped us formulating offers again keeping excessive emotions out. This has certainly not only saved us a lot of money but also gave us confidence in our decisions. Accounting for information he has gathered on the sellers‘ situation, our offers generally stood out by offering more beyond money and ultimately led to one offer being accepted. Once our offer was accepted, the process was on auto-pilot with Richard working on keeping all the involved parties on the ball. He would keep us informed on the progress and we attribute the swift exchange/completion to his magic. Buying a property can be quite stressful and time consuming. The Pryor bespoke buying service makes the process more pleasant, efficient and, in our case, we probably saved a multiple of the fee. We strongly recommend this service to family and friends!
Clare Towl November 7, 2022 at 11:23 am on Buying agentFrom an estate agent's prospective, Richard was very communitive and helpful throughout the whole selling process. Always available at the end of the phone. I would highly recommend their service; I look forward to working with them again.
Caroline J October 29, 2022 at 12:00 am on Pocket AgentHenry was professional, arbitrary and dispassionate. Recommend his service
Annie C October 19, 2022 at 11:34 am on Buying agentFrom a selling agents point of view.... The buying process can often be complex and confusing for buyers to navigate, Henry offers a valuable link in the chain. Not only giving the buyer peace of mind but the seller that their buyer is getting sound, knowledgeable, guidance throughout the sales process. Clear and fuss free communication throughout made for a smooth and swift sale. Thanks to Henry!
Adrian Boruz October 5, 2022 at 11:21 pm on Pocket AgentWe had another very helpful conversation with Henry - key in shaping our thinking re our family home and how to navigate the turbulence in the market Thank you Henry for the pragmatic advice and for helping us on such an important matter as is our home for our new extended family!
Daniel Magee October 5, 2022 at 4:50 pm on Buying agentRichard was a pleasure to deal with. From an agents point of view he was thorough, supportive and helpful.
Ceri September 30, 2022 at 11:20 am on Buying agentWe really appreciated Henry's advice and support through our property search and purchase. The advice was direct and specific and invaluable. Henry was very active on our behalf throughout the negotiations and exchange process. Highly recommend Pryor services to anyone contemplating a house move.
Josh and Rose September 30, 2022 at 9:02 am on Buying agentWithout Henry and Richard we would not have come near to completing on our property or getting such a competitive deal. They are always there on the end of the phone and never felt like we were troubling them. Highly recommended!
Kate Rippon September 23, 2022 at 8:19 pm on House Doctor 👨🏻⚕️Thanks to Henry’s expertise, reassurance and fantastic straight talking, we feel much more confident and positive in our property negotiations and would recommend Henry to anyone embarking on property searches and negotiations - he’s a must-have!
Angela September 13, 2022 at 12:37 pm on House Doctor 👨🏻⚕️I highly recommend taking the opportunity to speak to Henry, particularly if you are a first time buyer or have little knowledge of the UK housing market. The market is impossible to predict but Henry brings a wealth of knowledge to what is an extremely difficult decision. He will give you excellent, practical advice delivered with humour and honesty. Recommend following him on Twitter too for the housing industry articles he often shares. Many thanks Henry!
Uli Davey August 30, 2022 at 12:55 pm on Buying agentWould definitely recommend Henry and Richard to anyone looking to buy in a “hot” area like Hampshire. They were there for us every step of the way with good counsel, the occasional shoulder to cry on, saved us from panic-buying the wrong house and made sure that the house we bought is right for us. We have been in our new home for a few weeks now and could not be happier!
James August 18, 2022 at 5:53 pm on Pocket AgentWe first used Henry's Pocket Agent service in 2020. He was hugely helpful in a 'best and final' situation. That purchase ended up falling through for other reasons but he continued to offer advice on our next search as part of the service, and we wouldn't have secured the property we now call home without him. Highly recommended.
