Thanks to Ciaran Murphy, Sam Symonds & Rebecca Corcoran for their support with getting an offer accepted on a property. As buyers, they weren't acting for us, but they gave us helpful and balanced feedback about the neighbourhood. Rebecca's thoughts on local schools were useful. They were professional and prompt in the negotiation and kept lines of communication open.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Ciaran Murphy is a very helpful & considerate individual. I would go as far to say that I would want to buy and sell a property ‘because of’ Ciaran. He listens to our needs and always politely responds via phone or email. He conveys confidence that whether buying or selling HE would personally look after you during the sales progression process.

I asked for a valuation of my property from three estate agencies with a view to selling. Following the initial valuation by all three agents, I instructed Sam Symonds of Bradford and Howley to act our behalf Sam Symonds and Ciaran Murphy guided me through the selling process. From completion of paperwork, to professional photographs and open house viewing at the end of April 2022. They were always available either by telephone or email to help with queries. I received a comprehensive list of people who had booked appointments to view my property during the open day. The open day resulted in a number of offers and Sam and Ciaran helped in our final decision to select the right offer for us. Huge thanks to Sam Symonds and Ciaran Murphy for all their help and patience.

Big thank you to Sam and Ciaran of Bradford & Howley (Marshalswick) for their support during my recent property purchase, after being gazumped on an earlier purchase with another agency. Sam took the time to give me advice and helpful insight into making me stand out as a buyer when faced with rival buyers. And Ciaran answered my questions upon viewing the property with honesty and a caring attitude. These guys are not pushy as some of the agencies out there, and would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you!

Impressive team consisting of very professional individuals who are expert in what they do. Team consisting of Sam, Ciaran, Mandy and Susan made the whole process of buying the house very easy for me. Being a first time buyer I had lots of questions and apprehensions but this team was there for me at every juncture. They really tried their best to expedite the whole process. Ciaran is the only person I have met personally, very pleasant, helping gentleman and a thorough professional. Susan and Mandy helped in liaising with the solicitor and the landlord in a very efficient and uncomplicated manner. I wish this team good luck and would highly recommend their services.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Bradford and Howley Marshalswick have provided excellent service in the sale of our property. From the first enquiry telephone call through to accepting an offer, Sam has been attentive and professional. We required a quick sale to secure our new house purchase and this was achieved in a few days. Their knowledge, marketing, communication and attention to detail has exceeded my expectations. Sam, Nick and Ciaran have been a pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend Bradford and Howley to anyone looking to sell their home.

Well, what a refreshing change to bring Bradford & Howley on board when deciding to put our cherished house up for sale. After initially dealing with two other local Estate Agents who did not impress us, we took the best step in contacting the B & H Marshalswick Office who have been amazing. Our first port of call was young Sam Symonds who has guided my wife and me through all the pitfalls etc. Coming a close second is even younger Ciaran Murphy who is always helpful. We understand Mandy will also be there to guide us, which is nice and a nod to Nick for the wonderful pictures he took of our home. Looked so good, I nearly put an offer in myself. All in all, positivity to date. Fingers crossed for a snag-free completion.

I have received an excellent service from Bradford & Howley. Sam Symonds impressed me from the outset and has been very helpful in providing excellent advice with regular updates. Ciaran Murphy who handled the sale in the later stages has been a pleasure to deal with. He comes across as very personable and kept me updated with viewings, feedback etc and was very professional at all times. The ongoing sales progression has also been handled very efficiently. I would not hesitate to use Bradford & Howley again.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value
