  Ben, Rachel and Caroline have been so helpful through what was a more stressful process than we expected. They we kind, helpful and calming when necessary and worked extremely hard to ensure we exchanged and completed when the time came. We would definitely recommend them to anyone planning to move.

  We recently completed a purchase where Rachel of DKH was the selling agent. Rachel was instrumental in keeping the sale on track. Due to the particular circumstances of the sale, there were long periods of waiting followed by a very time pressured exchange and completion. Rachel’s calm, clear communication and personable, facilitative style kept everything together in spite of these challenges. Rachel always sought to find the best solution that worked for everyone in order to move the sale forward in circumstances where it could have easily fallen through. Rachel was always very flexible and responsive which we really appreciated too. We would 100% recommend Rachel and DKH to anyone interested in buying or selling property. Thank you!!

  We had a very good experience of selling our property with DKH. Ben, Caroline and Rachel came up with fresh ways of marketing our house, and were always very helpful. Would recommend

  Ben, Rachel and the team worked with us to sell a tricky probate property at the time of economic crisis in late 2022. They managed this all brilliantly and I was always confident that they had our interests as their priority. Strongly recommend.

  Ben and Rachel made the whole process of selling far less painful and dealt with all challenges professionally whilst keeping me informed. Previously I was with another agent for 5 months but DKh sold the property on the 1st weekend, the video they put together was excellent way to market the house. Highly recommend this team. Thank you

  We are so glad that we chose Rachel Weightman and Ben King at Dey, King and Haria in Rickmansworth to market our home for us. They gave us fantastic support throughout the home selling process and helped to keep us sane when our purchase was proving very stressful. We chose DHK to market our property because Ben was so enthusiastic and ambitious with how he planned to market our property. Ben is very good at picking up on what matters to the people he is dealing with and using it to build rapport quickly. He advised on what we needed to do to improve the marketability of our property, and persuaded us to come to market considerably earlier to take advantage of the lack of properties on the market at the time. We were on the market, with an amazing video of our property just three weeks later and Rachel did a whole day of back-to-back viewings after which we received a number of offers over the asking price. Rachel and Ben initiated a 'full and final offers' process and established the position of the all the people who'd made offers, advising on the pros and cons of each to help us make our choice. Ben and Rachel advised us that the 'cash buyers' whose offer we accepted would more than likely choose to sell their existing property as part of the sale (which they subsequently did). This decision ensured us a top price for our property, but did cause some extra hassle, particularly at exchange. Rachel provided excellent support to help us with this. Ben also scouted out solicitors for us, helping us to identify who was best placed locally to take on the work. The most helpful aspect for us was how Rachel helped to research our chain and keep the whole process moving. We were dismayed to discover that nearly everything the Estate Agent for our vendors told us turned out not to be true. Most importantly Rachel discovered that our vendors were not chain-free as we were led to believe and eventually we ended up in a chain of 6 people. Our searches took a very long time, and our vendors agent hassled us mercilessly to set a completion date before our survey results or searches had come back. Rachel provided substantial assistance to help us manage this difficult person, liaising up and down the chain to establish what position everyone was in. Even so, when it came to exchange several of the other members were not as ready to exchange as our vendors Agent had led us to believe, and Rachel provided excellent support and feedback to help us get through those last difficult weeks. We are extremely pleased with the service provided by Ben and Rachel and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in WD3 who wants to market their home.

  I can’t recommend Ben and Rachel at DKH highly enough. When we were selling our house, they came up with some of the most interesting marketing ideas (and we spoke to 5 different agents when researching). They did a great job of marketing the house getting us 5 offers over the asking price within a few days of viewings. They were then super-supportive in the process after getting the offer, all the way through to completion. From advising on solicitors, through to chasing up progress of the chain - they were ace. Highly communicative, superbly competent, and hard working - what else can I say, apart from I strongly recommend them.

  We never write reviews, but just had to following an overwhelmingly positive experience with Dey King and Haria in Rickmansworth. Rachel was absolutely phenomenal throughout the process of purchasing our house in Rickmansworth. She went above and beyond to communicate regularly with the upper chain and to keep us informed every step of the way. She was accessible on WhatsApp and was incredibly quick to respond. If it wasn’t for Rachel, we are sure the process would have taken so much longer and been far more difficult. She held a long chain of 7 houses together expertly when the other agents and solicitors seemed to have no idea what was going on. She even created a spreadsheet of the chain details and forwarded them on to us, and chased all parties daily for us. She even messaged us to check everything was OK on the weekend we moved in, and asked if we needed anything else from the vendors. Unfortunately the agent we used for our sale (Winkworth in London not DKH) were highlighted as being pretty apathetic in comparison! Ben was also fantastic. He was very honest and open when advising us- we felt we were in safe and experienced hands. Huge thanks again for making the whole process as quick and painless as possible. We would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends. Izzy and Matt Collins.

  For someone who recently moved to the UK from Canada, I had a really bad experience with many letting agents when I first arrived (from terrible communication to outright scams). Working with Ben and Rachel from DKH was very different; I felt as though I could trust them from our first interaction--and I'm glad I did. They provided a top-notch, personal service and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.
