Ashtons were terrific. We were looked after by Rebecca Allingham as Sales Progressor, she was responsive and proactive when acting on our behalf. We had very mixed experiences with other estate agents during the process of purchasing our Property and appreciated the fact that everyone at Ashtons was knowledgeable and professional.
