Always efficient, extremely helpful and friendly
Just a short note to say many thanks indeed for all your assistance with the successful sale of our land. Throughout the whole process your… regular communication was very much appreciated, in addition you were able to give much needed advice immediately when needed which made the whole process seamless and stress free. Since purchasing this land and the subsequent sale, I have always enjoyed the interaction with everyone at the Paddock Wood office of Lambert & Foster who are always efficient, extremely helpful and friendly. This transaction has been no exception. Read more “Always efficient, extremely helpful and friendly”
I could not have sold this land without Will, I cannot put it plainer than that.
After weeks of delay and confusion, principally over compliance (which my other Estate Agents had subcontracted out) I dialled the Lambert & Foster office… I spoke… at some length with Will Banham, who understood my concerns immediately. This was a turning point in the sale of our land, I am so glad I made the call and that Will took it. The difference in Bare Land sales, as distinct to domestic residential sales, is that you need a professional person, adept in deep knowledge of so many areas, local politics, legal and planning regulations, to name just a few. I could not have sold this land without Will, I cannot put it plainer than that. Read more “I could not have sold this land without Will, I cannot put it plainer than that.”
Will Banham’s work when selling my land was absolutely exemplary.
“Will Banham’s work when selling my land was absolutely exemplary. His attention to detail, communication skills and drive should be a model for other estate… agents. He guided me through a complex sale and simplified everything, and when things got tricky he went above and beyond to ensure that I was kept informed and involved with the process, with his years of experience shining through. On his advice, I obtained aerial photographs of my land for use in the advert, and I am certain that this massively helped with the speed and efficiency of my sale – it’s worth the extra cost, and provided a valuable memento truly showing the trees in their full glory. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lambert & Foster for future land sales and would specifically request for Mr Banham to assist me again where possible.” Read more “Will Banham’s work when selling my land was absolutely exemplary.”
We would definitely use Lambert & Foster again in the future.
Despite the challenges and a couple of unwelcome setbacks along the way, I can’t fault your service and we would definitely use Lambert & Foster… again in the future. Read more “We would definitely use Lambert & Foster again in the future.”

I can not thank you enough for the brilliant job you have done selling my farm. Your attention to detail and constant contact at all… stages has been excellent.

It has been a pleasure to work with your and your most helpful staff. Read more “It has far exceeded what I had imagined that I would receive”
We are indeed very grateful to them
We had a small farm to sell with more than one dwelling and requiring division of the land between the dwellings. This meant new boundaries,… the need for detailed plans, reorganisation of services and new planning permissions. Lambert & Foster’s experience of agricultural holdings, technical skills in their drawing office and ability to handle planning applications were all essential for the successful sale of all of the lots. Just as important, they had the enthusiasm and tenacity to cope with problems that inevitably arose along the way. We are indeed very grateful to them. Read more “We are indeed very grateful to them”
