Sarah at Michael Poole has managed our property lettings and she does an outstanding job. Communication is excellent and she's always on hand with sound advice. Sarah has helped us to secure excellent tenants and we wouldn't want anyone else managing the lettings. 100% recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We're so pleased to hear you've had an excellent experience and that Sarah has kept you well-informed throughout. You're absolutely right - handling utility and council tax notifications is a part of our service we should definitely shout about more! We're delighted to be working with you and look forward to continuing to support you and your tenants going forward., The Michael Poole Team 💙

Selling my mum's house after her death, the staff were brilliant, explaining the whole process and answering any questions that I had. Highly recommended!

Absolutely dreadful experience with this company. We tried for days to use the app, and never received a passcode from them. I phoned Thirdfort and the woman there said it was because our phones are on Sky mobile, which is rubbish because our daughter didn’t have this problem and she is on Sky mobile. The woman suggested we ‘used a friend or neighbour’s phone’ to complete our ID check. Very secure! She said she would contact our solicitor to sort it out, but never did. Useless!

Further to your 1* review - We don't have a record of you on our systems so not sure if placed in error - we are a sales & lettings agency based in Coventry West Midlands? Please feel free to contact me directly to either discuss your concerns or assist you with your property requirements. Assuming the review was placed in error I would ask you kindly remove the review as it goes against our many 5* reviews. John Buckby Lettings Manager j.buckby@payne-cov.com 02746 222 022

As sellers, we appreciated the support and advice from Neil Buck during the fraught period between agreeing terms with our buyers and exchange of contracts. Sam Smith gave us her attention to detail whenever needed. However, we had to reduce our price to agree a sale and Perry Bishop's fee was based on the original offer price - in retrospect we wished we had agreed a percentage fee arrangement.

I was very impressed with the service provided by Perry Bishop's Cheltenham office when selling my property recently. From the very beginning I had every confidence in Ben, Sam and the team, that they were doing their best for me, from valuation through to marketing and finally getting the sale through satisfactorily. It wasn't the most straightforward sale but they provided good advice and support and kept me informed of any developments in a timely manner. I would thoroughly recommend them.

He was also friendly, approachable and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and professional agent.

We had such a great experience with Sophie while putting in an offer on the home we wanted to purchase. She was absolutely lovely to deal with and genuinely excited for us when our offer was accepted. We would highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking to buy a home.

Aidan Lech-Allan is the man. I leave few reviews but Aidan went over and above to turn things around for us and we are very grateful. Property is a people game and this is the person to deal with. Deserves a pay rise.
