GoogleVery pleased with the service we received. If anyone can sell your property it’s Billy Gill and his team. When there were any hiccups they were sorted straight away. Billy knows his market well, Many thanks to Donna the sales negotiator, you got us there and we are so grateful. Would definitely recommend.

GoogleJust wanted to say a huge thank you to Donna. Even though we didn’t sell through Balgores, Donna supported me with the sale of my house throughout. If it wasn’t for Donna I’m sure we wouldn’t have moved in the time frame. Can’t thank Donna enough!

Smooth process from start to finish and we are now loving settling into our new home.

GoogleClive at Balgores SWF was excellent and very professional throughout when selling my Bungalow. He made the process less stressful by inviting me into the office to go through all of the solicitors paper work. I will continue highly recommending Clive and the rest of his team to all friends and family.
