At HIVE, we are exceptionally proud of the service our agents and Head Office team provide to our customers. We put customer service front and centre into everything we do. But don’t take out word for it, take a look at just some of the amazing reviews we’ve recently received.

Paul has provided a brilliant service as we purchased a property HIVE were listing. You could rely on quick responses, accurate information and useful tips for first time buyers. Would definitely use him again if we move again in the future!

As first time buyers, stepping into the property market felt both exciting and overwhelming—but having Nick as our estate agent made all the difference. From the very beginning, Nick was incredibly supportive, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to guide us through every stage of the process, always making sure we understood what was happening and what to expect next. No question ever felt too small, and he was always quick to respond.

Nick provided an excellent service, got my house sold after I saw a property that I really wanted a few weeks before. The way he promoted our beloved family home with aerial views via drones, and show cased the photos and video really promoted it was amazing, which brought in viewings and finally someone viewed my home three times and an offer was made and we sold it, in the meantime the property I wanted was still for sale, offer went in and today we sit in our new home having moved 24/04/26. Well done Nick it is something to be proud of.

Paul was fantastic throughout the sale of our property. He was always quick to respond, kept us updated regularly, and was extremely helpful with several unusual requests. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and his professionalism and dedication made the whole process much easier. We are very grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Paul!
Hannah Robinson Ferndown 28/07/2026
Paul was brilliant in the purchase of our first home. He is friendly and easy to deal with, and was clear and prompt in communicating. He was generous with his time, and happy to give us multiple viewings of the property. We are grateful for having had a smooth and transparent purchase process, and would definitely recommend his services.
Julian Daniel Ferndown 28/07/2026
Hive takes estate agencies to a whole new level. The interactive help and follow up information is faultless. Both Paul and Nick cannot do enough to help. Well done both and sincere thanks for what you have done for us.

James and the team have been great from the offset. They have ticked all of the boxes. They are all professional, punctual and not afraid to pick up the phone and tell you how it is, which is a massive plus! I was advised to get in touch with them after being massively let down by another company and the difference in quality of service has been night and day! If you want to deal with genuine people who get the job done then give these guys a go! I have always been told that selling your house is supposed to be one of the most stressful things to do but I haven't found anything to be stressful with these guys, especially given how average the market is at the moment! 5* service, highly recommend!

Nick was very professional and incredibly helpful when we were deciding if we should list our property or not. He answered all of our questions, took a lot of time and effort to photograph our home making it look it’s very best, and we had excellent communication throughout the process. He also gave general advice and answered all emails really promptly. I would highly recommend Nick at HIVE & partners!!
Sarah Ringwood 14/01/2026
Nick was brilliant throughout the process of selling our house. From start to finish he was always available, open, honest and very helpful. He took proactive steps towards marketing the property and gave us updates as and when necessary. We would definitely recommend Hive to anyone looking to put their house on the market. Thanks Nick! Sarah
Paul Ferndown 12/01/2026
A very refreshing experience. Superb service, professionalism and honesty. Paul gave good advice throughout our sale and always gave timely updates. We were notified prior to every viewing and given constructive feedback afterwards. The marketing and photography was first class. We always wanted honesty and not to be told 'what we wanted to hear' Paul gave us that so that we always felt fully informed and advised. Viewings were carried out to suit sellers regardless of times or days of the week. This ensured maximum footfall and success. We would not hesitate to recommend Hive to friends and family and thank Paul for his enthusiasm and hard work.
Chloe Verwood 15/12/2025
In a difficult market Paul kept us up to date weekly with rightmove views of our property. As well as managing to get appropriate viewings through the door. This is so much more than a previous agent. Once we got a buyer he kept things moving. Again with weekly updates and chasing solicitor responses to get everything over the line. He made a stressful process that much better. Would 100% use again.
Alan Ferndown 12/12/2025
We sold a 1930’s house through Paul. Although it had been on the market for nearly three years Paul was confident that he would find a buyer and he did. He said he was aiming for the end of September, he sold it on 29th September! He then was able to get another viewing of a property we had seen sometime earlier. This suited our needs perfectly. Paul handed both these transactions extremely well. Keeping us informed of progress on both all the way. We are so glad that we trusted Paul to handle matters can’t recommend him highly enough. We will be recommending him and HIVE to anyone who needs property dealings. Once again thank you Paul for all your help.
Oliver Wimborne 26/11/2025
Paul was a fantastic agent throughout the entire process, his friendliness, professionalism and experience was evident in every communication. Will definitely use Hive again, another standout was there photos were a class above prior agents we used.
Eliott Nally Highcliffe 15/08/2025
Tracey and Robyne were amazing, very communicative and supportive throughout the process of buying our house. They genuinely seem to care. Would highly recommend them.
Sarah Manning Ringwood 05/07/2025
Nick Beavan recently carried out a property valuation for our family, and he was absolutely brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to explain everything clearly, and answered all of our questions with patience and professionalism. We felt completely confident in his expertise throughout the process. What a great agent – highly recommended!
Helen V Barton on sea 13/05/2025
We have just had one of the most professional and comprehensive viewings of a property by an estate agent. Although it wasn’t the house for us, the time and effort taken by Tracey Dwight of Hive and Partners to show us round and bring the place alive made it a pleasure to view. For once we didn’t feel in the least rushed, Tracey knew the property thoroughly and could answer all our questions. Thank you Tracey - I’m sure the property owners will find the perfect buyers soon.
Terry Pearcy Ashley Heath 25/04/2025
Paul took on our property after we had a very disappointing experience with another agent. The team came in took some great photo's and drone footage of the property and got straight to work. We had several viewings which lead to the sale. Paul kept in contact and provided weekly updates on the number of hits the house was getting. If your thinking of selling give Hive a chance.
Colin Webber Ferndown 15/04/2025
Have to say the service was exceptional. A difficult sale made easy by Paul. He is friendly, Helpful and highly professional. I cannot recommend Paul enough. If you want your house sold better phone Paul.
Steve Tolman Ferndown 10/04/2025
Brilliant service, Paul constantly went that extra mile, chasing up to ensure that the procedure went as smoothly as possible. Highly recommended.
Tracy Baines Ferndown 11/11/2024
Impressive service from start to finish. We were updated regularly on viewing appointments and viewer feedback. Paul answered any queries we had promptly, and his advice was invaluable. He liaised between buyers and solicitors, and kept us updated on the progress of both exchange and completion. Highly recommend this proactive company.
Sarah Holloway Shore Wimborne 07/11/2024
I cannot recommend Hive and Partners highly enough! My flat had been on the market for several months with another agent who had not managed to sell, despite having numerous viewings. Within a week of being on the market with Hive it was sold. Paul was excellent and was there throughout the process to support, make calls where necessary and ensure the sale went as smoothly as possible. The reassurance of Hive's experience, professionalism and care was invaluable and I am so grateful.
