Customer Comments
Dear Sirs, We have just purchased our first narrowboat from Mr Phil Bassett (Grand Union) and felt we had to send you our feedback. From our initial inquiry Phil was courteous, informative and quick to respond to making our first viewing appointment. We had two viewings in total and I cannot praise Phil enough for his salesmanship. He took every question we had seriously, following up each inquiry quickly, sometimes having to liaise with the owner. He obviously has a good professional working relationship with the marina that the boat is moored at which made our purchase even easier with any further questions. We originally had a one twelfth share in a narrow boat for four years in total but always knew we would purchase our own, visiting a number of brokers within a radius of about 80 miles. Initial response from many was flimsy with hardly any followup and the quality of the boats at times was questionable for the price and we had doubts as to whether offers were in fact relayed to the owner! How refreshing to find Phil at Boatshed Grand Union who instilled confidence in us and made our buying experience so pleasurable, a feather in your cap.

Boatshed were great. They are very knowledgeable about boats and the markets locally. It was great to have them organise and do the viewings for me. I’m so glad I sold my boat with Boatshed Eastbourne.

Had a great experience starting with Millie showing us our boat and then Tim continuing with the purchase. Everything ran very smoothly and nothing was too much trouble and made the purchase of Carina a 5 star purchase. Thank you so much Tim & Millie for everything and couldn’t have been in better hands. Excellent Company to work with and very professional. Wouldn’t hesitate in recommending to friends.

I have now used Boatshed Essex to sell three boats. Jayne has been brilliant. She is a great communicator, always kept me up tp date with any developments and sympathised with the stress! Ultimately she helped me sell my last boat despite the atmosphere of a buyers market. And the process was very straightforward. I highly recommend Boatshed Essex.

Nic was both punctual and helpful in responding with answers to all my questions. Made the whole process quick and easy, leading to a succesful conclusion. Nic really stood out from some of the other brokers I had dealings with. If you need to sell your boat, he's your man!

From our initial contract, all the way through to the completion of our sale, the staff at Boatshed were fantastic. Graham, Magali and Pascal were always available to talk to us and advise us. Pascal handled the actual listing and sale, he always accompanied potential buyers, and was there the day prior to, during and after the survey and on completion of the sale. Graham contacted us and talked us through the listing and any document queries. Magali was in contact during the transfer of funds and kept us updated on the process. They were all very friendly, very professional and we felt that they really looked after us. We couldn't be happier.
