Could not have been more helpful
Kiera at the Arnside office could not have done more to help us. We were purchasers and she was doing her best for her clients but she also did her best for us. Queries were answered quickly and fully, she kept us informed and she always went the extra mile. What could have been a stressful situation was made much better due to her reassurance and support.
Thank you for so much for those really kind words. We hope you settle into your lovely new home well.

Great experience
We recently bought a property through Hackney & Leigh Windermere and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first viewing right through to completion, the whole process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. A huge thank you to Sonia and the entire team, nothing was ever too much trouble. They were always friendly, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to help with any questions or concerns we had along the way.
Thank you, Sue, we hope you are happy with your new home and we were glad to be of help.
