We completed our move through Bradford & Howley on 25th August. This is the second time we have sold through B&H and both occasions were very good experiences. A particular shout out to Mandy Atkins who was always cool and always responded promptly.

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

We are very satisfied with Bradford & Howley in purchasing & letting our house in the same time. I have to say Mandy James is a wonderful communicator, very experienced during the process as an estate agent. She is such helpful & supportive in providing us with plenty of useful resources when I have the house redecorated before letting it out. A excellent team from brilliant Bradford & Howley Harpenden!!!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
