Properties for sale in Bournemouth and Poole

Chris was excellent throughout our House Sale. Great local knowledge, honest and trustworthy advice and always available for any questions or concerns. I hope this is the final house move but if it transpires not to be, I'll be asking Chris to market for us again.

Bryan Herring - September 2026

My wife and I recently bought a house, on the market with Athertons. Chris did a great job. He was thorough during the auditing of the house and made sure that questions were answered before the process was finalised. Very trustworthy.

Michelle Davies - September 2026

We would recommend Athertons to everyone, very professional and knowledgeable, kept us informed from start to finish. Thank you so much Chris.

Linda Rogers - August 2026

I honestly couldn’t recommend Owen highly enough. Selling a property can be incredibly stressful, particularly when there are delays and complications further down the chain, but Owen was fantastic throughout the whole process.

He was always approachable, responsive and kept me updated, even when there wasn’t necessarily any good news to give. He went above and beyond to keep things moving and liaise with everyone involved, and I always felt like he genuinely cared about getting the sale completed rather than simply seeing it as another transaction.

The sale wasn’t without its challenges, but having Owen as the estate agent made a huge difference. He was professional, reassuring and incredibly helpful from start to finish.

A massive thank you to Owen for all his hard work - I really appreciate everything he did and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.

Dawn Lewis - August 2026

This is the second time we have used Sam, Owen and the rest of the team. Both times have been very positive experiences. From initial contact, professional pictures, great write ups and marketed in all the places you would expect to see your property sell well. The outcomes both times have been the best price for our property and achieved very quickly. Throughout there has been fantastic contact in each stage and always someone helpful in the office. I highly recommend Athertons to get the job done! Thank you so much. Linda and Martyn

Linnie Wharmby - August 2026

Highly recommend Owen and Sam at Athertons!..From the very beginning, through the stages they have been fantastic. Having not sold a property in over 20 years the process could have been overwhelming , but they made everything so much easier with their professionalism, excellent communication, and genuine care.

They went above and beyond at every stage, always keeping us informed, answering our questions promptly, and doing everything they could to ensure the sale progressed smoothly. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their dedication and hard work really made a difference. They did not only support us with the sale of our property but massively supported us with our purchase too and we would honestly not be where we are today without there efforts.

We are incredibly grateful for all of Owen and Sam’s support and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you for making our move happen..A truly five-star service!

Allie Browning - August 2026

Thank you Athertons for the sale of my parents house in Poole. Communication throughout was fantastic and as I was not local, Chris your support was invaluable. I would recommend Athertons as a reputable, reliable Estate Agent.

Catherine Bray - August 2026

I had a fantastic experience with Athertons Estate Agents. They did a great job selling my property in Muscliff. From the initial valuation through to agreeing the sale, the whole team was professional, friendly, and kept me informed every step of the way.

Their communication was excellent, they worked hard to achieve a great result, and the property sold quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Athertons Estate Agents to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you for making the process so smooth and stress-free!

Callum Harbison - August 2026

I couldn’t recommend this estate agent more highly. From the first conversation they were professional, responsive and completely straightforward.

What stood out most was their honesty. They gave clear, realistic advice rather than telling me what I wanted to hear, which made the whole process far less stressful. They were always available when I had questions, kept me updated without me having to chase, and handled every detail carefully.

I always felt I was in safe hands with someone who actually cared about getting the right result, not just closing a deal.

If you want an estate agent who is reliable, trustworthy and properly supportive, look no further. A fantastic experience from start to finish.

Jade Champion - August 2026

Great experience with Atherton's for us as buyers, Owen has been extremely helpful amd no question has been too much. Owen has ensured everything has gone smoothly dispite some issues with other sellers, and has kept us updated along the way. Highly recommended.

Jack Stone - August 2026

Chris dealt with both the sale and purchase of our properties, which involved a lengthy chain with its fair share of complications. Throughout the entire process, he went above and beyond, keeping us updated every step of the way and doing everything he could to keep the chain moving.

Without Chris, the chain would almost certainly have collapsed, and we’re incredibly grateful for all of his hard work and dedication.

Without a doubt, we would recommend Chris and Athertons over any of the high street estate agents. The level of service, communication and personal attention they provide simply cannot be matched.

Thank you, Chris!

Scott Peters - August 2026

Chris and his team offered us an outstanding service , excellent communication, first class feedback and never missed an appointment. They handled every viewing on time and with respect. They made the completion process very easy, chased solicitors and kept us informed along the way .I would highly recommend Athertons Estate Agents.

Susan Percival - July 2026

I recently sold my flat through Athertons, and although it wasn’t the smoothest transaction, Chris did everything he could to keep the sale moving and get it completed as quickly as possible. He kept me updated throughout the process, was always on hand to answer any questions, and worked hard to overcome any issues that came up.

I’m really impressed with the level of service I received and would definitely recommend Athertons to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thanks again, Chris, for all your hard work!

Mark Bourner - July 2026

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Chris as our estate agent. From the very first meeting Chris was attentive, knowledgeable and always available to answer our questions.

We highly recommend Chris from Atherton's Estate Agents.

We would never hesitate using his services again... Thank you Sam.

Athertons sold our property recently.

We sold extremely quickly and the whole process went so smoothly.

Moving house is extremely stressful but both Owen and Sam were there every step of the way with updates and answered any questions we had.

We can't recommend Athertons enough as they were professional, polite and knowledgeable.

Chris was excellent, being extremely personable, responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. The conveyancing side was challenging but Chris helped guide me through it and recommended a great solicitor to me, which I then switched to which helped us progress. Would definitely use again and would strongly recommend.

Mitch Finn - April 2026

We highly recommend Sam and Owen at Athertons in Bournemouth. The standard of service is simply exceptional. Throughout the sale of our retirement flat they were highly responsive, proactive, professional and personable with great attention to detail. Communication is absolutely outstanding. Their honesty and integrity right from valuation to high quality well-considered marketing and their support and dedication throughout the entire process has been truly excellent.

Helen Sergeant - March 2026

Owen from Athertons assisted with our house purchase, from the very beginning, Owen and the team was incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. After 15 months of looking and starting processes and having them fall through, it was through Owen and his team that we finally got our keys yesterday and the whole process took 7 weeks!!

They were always responsive, friendly, and willing to help with any questions or updates, which made a very big difference during what can sometimes be a stressful experience. Their communication was excellent, and they kept everything moving smoothly between all parties involved.

It was clear that they genuinely cared about making the process as straightforward and efficient as possible, and their dedication and professionalism really stood out.

I’m very grateful for all the support and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. An excellent experience and very well deserving of a 5-star review.

Thank you Owen and team Athertons!

Betul Kartalkanat - March 2026

I cannot fault Owen and his team, they were professional, sensitive as the transaction was an emotional one for our family, gave good advice - their local market knowledge was faultless, trustworthy, diligent and above all just genuinely nice humans to deal with. We had every faith in them and cannot fault their service, I would highly recommend them and wish them every success

Lia Jenkins - March 2026

We recently bought our forever home through Chris at Athertons and the experience was great from start to finish. He was professional, helpful, and genuinely friendly throughout the entire process. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he always made sure we felt informed and supported at every step.

Chris made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and quick. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Lauren & Ben

Lauren Fraser - March 2026

Throughout the whole process Chris has been helpful, honest and kept us informed at every step. We would recommend anyone to use Athertons Estate Agents. They really have been the best.

Andrew Wilson - March 2026

Chris ensured that our house purchase went through smoothly by effectively liaising with the sellers to confirm the various survey dates and following up closely with the solicitors to expedite the agreement for the exchange and completion dates. Very happy to recommend Athertons for anyone looking for a first rate estate agent in the Poole area.

Simon Portwood - February 2026

Chris and Paula were outstanding throughout the sale of our home. From the very first meeting, Chris completely understood our needs and genuinely appreciated our home as much as we did. He arranged a professional photographer and videographer, resulting in stunning images, and even secured feature editorials in both the Daily Echo and Country Life magazine.

Chris and Paula carried out numerous viewings, generated strong interest, and agreed a sale in under a month. Once the sale was agreed, Chris continued to proactively chase both our sale and the onward chain, even though we weren’t buying through Athertons. This ensured a smooth, stress-free process, with clear updates at every stage.

We cannot recommend Athertons highly enough. They truly go above and beyond and genuinely care about both you and your home.

Matthew Coxon - February 2026

Chris and Paula provided truly exceptional service from start to finish. From the very first interaction, they created a warm, friendly, and welcoming environment that immediately put me at ease. Their knowledge, professionalism, and clear communication made the entire house-buying process smooth and stress-free.

They were always approachable, happy to answer questions, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. It’s clear they genuinely care about their clients and take pride in what they do. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Chris and Paula to anyone looking for a reliable, supportive, and outstanding estate agent.

Darcy Rose Garrett - January 2026

Excellent Service!

Chris and his team have been so amazing with the sale of my Mums property. We cannot thank him enough for his care and professionalism through this whole process. We would definitely recommend and use Athertons in the future!! Thanks again Wayne & Vanessa

Wayne Olive - January 2026

Owen was fantastic to work with from start to finish. We were able to find our dream forever home off-market thanks to the brilliant communication between the Poole Athertons (Chris) selling our property and Owen, who knew of a property that perfectly matched the specifications we were looking for. The whole process of finding the right home felt seamless, and it truly felt meant to be!

Owen was always available whenever I called and incredibly supportive with any questions I had along the way. I would highly recommend using Athertons for all of your property needs - they are truly amazing. Thank you, Owen.

Leila Vahidi - November 2025

As someone who has both bought and sold many properties over the years, I have (like most people) acquired a genuine distrust of estate agents. However, Chris at Athertons in Poole seems to be the exception to that rule. Unlike most estate agents, Chris actually listens, tells it like it is (whilst still being polite and respectful), replies to messages, returns phone calls (even late into the evening and weekends), and actually works with you to reach the desired outcome. He also works tirelessly behind the scenes ensuring the sale progresses and resolves issues and problems as he encounters them, keeping you updated along the way. Chris is the only estate agent that I have managed to build a good working relationship with, and if you are prepared to listen offers good advice on both the sale on onward purchases. To sum up, if you want an estate agent that gets the job done without the waffle and false promises then he is the man for you. I would quite honestly recommend him to anyone and would use him again in a heartbeat. I would give him more stars if I could.

Amanda Kail - November 2025

I think it is extremely important to be able to feel like you actually connect with the person selling your property.

I found dealing with Chris at Athertons to be excellent throughout the process.

His communication was brilliant with detailed analysis every Monday like clockwork showing visibility statistics and recommendations.

Chris's professionalism, tenacity, guidance and patience throughout a difficult market kept me hopeful we'd get there in the end .......And we did!

I cannot thank you enough for all the assistance you have given me and I would recommend you without hesitation.

Robert Whyte - November 2025

Fantastic. We were able to market our property at the price point which allowed us to achieve what we wanted. Our sale wasn't the smoothest, but Chris was absolutely great throughout. He kept us informed, he liaised with a lot of different parties, he used his obvious experience and contacts in the industry to help progress our sale through sticking points. It wouldn't have gone through without him. Chris is approachable, down to earth, and put up with endless questions and nagging from us with utmost professionalism, kindness, and understanding. Highly recommend using Athertons!

Geoff Stockley - November 2025

I honestly cannot recommend Chris and Athertons Estate Agents highly enough! As a first-time buyer, Chris went above and beyond to ensure I fully understood each stage of the process and felt completely comfortable throughout. My purchase was particularly challenging and time-consuming, as I was managing everything from another country, but Chris showed incredible patience, professionalism, and dedication in making sure everything went smoothly. When it’s time to buy again, there’s no doubt I’ll be calling Chris!

Courtney Gouveia - November 2025

We used Athertons estate agents after we an unsuccessful 6 month period with a previous agent. Athertons got our property listed very quickly with high quality photos and the result was a sale within 3 weeks. During the selling process, Sam was very active in helping us with queries or chasing queries and providing updates when we requested. We really appreciated the effort he put into this over the 6 month 4 way chain we were in.
