Mandy James showed us an apartment we were viewing on behalf of our daughter. Mandy was on time, helpful, and prepared. She told us the attributes of the property, and gave me a detailed fact sheet. The next day Mandy called me to get my thoughts. In my experience, this is unusual (and expected) in Harpenden, so Mandy stood head and shoulders above the rest. As the conversation closed, Mandy suggested an alternative property to view, and gave me good reasons to consider it. If you want your property sold in a good, professional manner, then I rate Mandy highly.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

Bradford and Howley helped me move last Summer, after a difficult sequence of gazumping etc. John was unfailingly patient, kind and professional. I am truly grateful - as my new home has been so much more comfortable during lock down, and I have been really appreciating not being stuck where I was before. I can recommend this firm very highly.

We used the Harpenden branch of Bradford and Howley to sell our house recently. Right from the start we found all the staff to be very professional and very responsive to our phone calls and emails. We had regular phone calls to keep us posted on what was happening, even if nothing was happening, they continued to make contact and stay in touch unlike other estate agents. Very pleasant and friendly staff, in particular John and Amanda who we saw and dealt with a lot. We will use them again if and when we move again.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism

We started our journey with Bradford & Howley followed an extensive chat with Andrew Bradford. His professionalism and realism convinced us to go with B&H. And although our journey through the sale and then through to completion has been a bit fraught, we have been fantastically well supported by both the sales team in Harpenden (Mandy James, David, and Gareth) and by the sales progressor (Mandy Atkins). Particularly a thanks to Mandy A, who has been exceptional in the way she held everything together, when a buyer further down our sales chain decided to be a bit difficult just before we were about to exchange across the chain. Highly recommended estate agent. Would use again but relocating away from Hertfordshire.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism

Bradford & Howley have been exceptional. Andrew Bradford met us at the start of our process and has always been on hand to offer a consultative approach. Their guidance truly helped us sell our house. In addition, Mandy Atkins kept us updated, gave advice and helped at every stage to keep things on track. She has been outstanding! I have already recommended their services to friends and wouldn't use any other estate agent in the future. Thank you so much Andrew and Mandy!
