Very professionally team at the Quadrant office. Being a first time buyer in UK, I don’t have much knowledge regarding the purchase process and lots of the questions on the way. Sam Symonds, the Branch Manager is very helpful, particularly on the price negotiation side and Mandy Atkins, Sales Progressor help me to smooth the whole process among varies parties, eg solicitors and surveyor. Personally I use their services twice, one for my own home and one for my investment property. I HIGHLY recommend their services.PositiveProfessionalism, Value

We were assisted by Ciaran Murphy for our recent house purchase. We met Ciaran at a house viewing and we discussed what house and area we were looking for in St Albans. He informed us he knew of one coming onto the market shortly that may be suitable. In the weeks to follow he kept us informed of when the house would come onto the market and sent us the details, once confirmed. We were offered first viewings due to our interest and we were able to approach Ciaran with a same day offer. Ciaran managed the whole process smoothly and with great professionalism. I have recommended the agency to friends and family based on our good experience.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I went into the Bradford & Howley and it was promising to see all the estate agents busy with customers. I saw Ciaran who helped me work out a realistic idea of what I could afford within my budget and took his time to go through the houses within my budget that matched what I was looking for in my new house. Ciaran had me booked in for viewings really quickly and has been very responsive to all my questions and made himself available whenever I needed him. Could not recommend Bradford & Howley enough and am extremely happy with the service Ciaran provided me.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

I have been looking to sell my flat in London W9, and Mandy James was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in her recommendations. A local agent, part of the GUILD, contacted me the next day to book a valuation, and I received a comprehensive valuation and Sale T&C package two days after that. I was very impressed and would not hesitate to recommend Mandy James to whoever is keen to sell their property quickly and efficiently.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
