Emma and Raphael were fantastic in helping my partner and I secure our new flat. Everything was handled incredibly quickly and seamlessly, with clear and consistent communication throughout the entire process. What could have been a long and stressful experience was made smooth and efficient thanks to their professionalism and support. My partner and I are really looking forward to moving in, and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

Redbrik - Professional and efficient. This team turned a stressful sale into a seamless experience with constant updates and expert local knowledge. I cannot thank the staff at Crystal Peaks enough. The full team have all been amazing, especially Kathryn who went above and beyond to secure a sale for us. We would not be purchasing our longed for property without her. Thank you all. Andrew & Beverley Brookes

Can't praise redbrik enough. Can't believe how fast my house sale went through. It sold within 1 week of viewings! I was kept In the loop through out the process. There was no pressure at all with signing up with them they allowed me to think about my decision which is what I valued the most. Thankyou again to the team I would definitely highly recommend

We are plumbing and heating contractors that have worked with Houseman for the last couple of years. We’ve found them to be very organised and honest letting agents, always striving to do the right thing by their contractors, landlords and tenants. When we speak with the tenants on the job, they always say how friendly Houseman are and easy to communicate with. It’s a shame I can’t give 6 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We can’t recommend Redbrik enough. We had our house up for sale last year for 5 months with a different estate agent and didn’t have a great experience, we ended up taking our property off the market and having a break from selling. We have dealt with many estate agents in the process of viewing houses and the only one that stood out for us in terms of customer experience, being proactive, communicative and organised was Redbrik. We were dubious as their fees are one of the most expensive but you really do get what you pay for. We put our house back up for sale with Redbrik and haven’t been disappointed. The marketing was amazing compared to before and really demonstrated our house in the best way enabling us to get 27 bookings for viewings in just 3 weeks. For context last year we had 11 viewing bookings in 5 months. We have sold our house in 3 weeks and had multiple offers, a very different experience to last year. All the team are very honest, helpful, friendly and just genuinely want do their best for the clients. Nothing has been too much trouble, the whole experience so far has been far more pleasant and much less stressful than last time. We have only just sold so are only part way through the process but so far we have been exceptionally happy and would recommend Redbrik to anyone looking to sell their house. The whole team at crystal peaks have been amazing working hard in the background but a special thanks to Nikki, Kathryn, Beth, Tom, Gemma and Tammy as these are the people we have dealt either personally.

I have just moved into my dream bungalow but we have had hurdles all the way with our buyers. Kathryn, our sales negotiator should be made prime minister with the way she has dealt with the sale because its not been easy but she has tried so much for it too happen knowing how much we wanted it . I will never forget the help she gave us and definitely without her we wouldn’t have succeeded. Thank you so much Kathryn and Redbrick, you have been beyond amazing

Paul, the director of Aisworth Lord Estate, highly recommended a surveyor he used regularly & trusted, for a property we'd offered the full asking price on. When the surveyor's report came through claiming it was not a mortgageable proposition, he instantly changed his mind about him. Paul said we should overlook the opinion & the identified repair work over 75k. Paul advised that we should now fork out for another surveyor for a 2nd opinion. His advice is comical. It gets better!! He took a deposit of 5k from us, explaining at the time that it was just a goodwill gesture to show we were serious buyers. After the report came through, we told Paul on 29th Sept, that we can not proceed, we asked him to return the deposit. Paul was now not forthcoming with communication, so my wife gave him a 1star rating. The communication instantly improved, she received an email threatening her with legal action for rating him. The prison attire is definitely not for her. 😆 Paul claimed on 5th Oct, that he's been in talks with the vendor to prevent us from losing our deposit. My wife has trust issues when it comes to him & insisted we visit the vendor. It pains me to say it, she was right! On 8th Oct, the vendor confirmed her suspicion. We decided to confront Paul in person today. When asked why he still has our money, he said he would be transferring to the vendor this week. 🤔 Paul said he was hoping to negotiate, he could offer us deal so we wouldn't lose our deposit. We asked him what he proposed. He's response "why don't you buy half the premises it would cost less". I can't stomach this man. My wife entertained him & asked for the price. Paul said 75k. Now for simple maths Surveyor valuation = 100k full premises Half premises =50k Paul's DEAL for half premises =75k I wonder if Paul failed maths Now for simple maths: Surveyor = 100k for full premises Half premises = 50k Paul's DEAL for half premises = 75K I wonder if Paul failed maths

Our property was a long time on the market but when a buyer was found Hannah Wilson handled things from there on. She kept us informed on everything that we requested but was especially helpful on bringing forward the exchange of contracts date. She obviously worked hard to achieve this for which we are very grateful. It is now in the hands of both solicitors and Hannah can do no more. Thank you Hannah for a job well done.

STAY WELL AWAY!!! ABSOLUTE CON ARTIST scammed me out of my deposit. Along with thousand others. 2week before I left the property Paul came out to do an inspection everything was fine said nothing needed doing. I handed my keys in he said I'll be getting my deposit that week. Didn't happen. Had no contact since been ringing every day to be told of someone else there i m not getting it back because of something that was already like it was wen I moved in. Iv put a post on a local group to find out I'm not the only one who this had happened to there's hundreds.

I was very impressed with Anthony from Ainsworth Lord. He gave great advice and was professional and courteous throughout all my dealings with him. He carried out all the viewings and was able to secure the full asking price on an elderly family member’s property, in the space of just one week. I would definitely recommend Anthony to anyone selling a property. Thank you Anthony for all your hard work.
